Cheng Muyun turned his back. "Otherwise, if you say you don't want to go back to the Xu family, where else can I take you?"

Xu Zhuohua frowned slightly. "You can't bring me into your room, that would only ruin my reputation."

Cheng Muyun said, "With me here, no one will dare to say anything to you."

As Xu Zhuohua changed his clothes, he muttered, "What do you know, you're a man? A woman's chastity and reputation are her life."

It's unclear whether Cheng Muyun didn't hear him, as he didn't reply.

After Xu Zhuohua got dressed, Cheng Muyun took her downstairs for breakfast.

Mrs. Cheng, who was drinking porridge, almost choked and gasped for breath.

"Xu...Zhuohua? What are you doing at the Cheng Mansion?"

Cheng Muyun calmly pressed Xu Zhuohua down in front of the dining table, "I took her to the opera last night, and we got back late, so I just brought her back with me."

Mrs. Cheng kept patting her chest to calm herself, "Why didn't I hear the maids cleaning the room yesterday?"

Cheng Muyun: "It was too late, so I let her sleep in my room."

Madam Cheng was truly choked this time and coughed incessantly.

Cheng Yuguang looked up calmly, "Did Zhuohua sleep well last night?"

Cheng Muyun: "It should be good. I'll sleep on the sofa, and she'll sleep on the bed."

Cheng Yuguang looked Xu Zhuohua up and down. "What happened to your eyes? Have you been crying? Did Mu Yun bully you?"

Xu Zhuohua shook her head, "Mr. Mei's performance last night was so moving that I couldn't help but cry."

Mrs. Cheng asked, "It's so late at night, and you haven't come home yet. Your parents must be worried. Shouldn't they call to let you know you're safe?"
