When she turned around, a tall shadow came into view. The man's body blocked all the light, which made her heart chill. She subconsciously stepped back and bumped into the bedside table.

"What are you nervous about?"

Tang Mu looked at her with dark eyes.

The curtains were drawn with a layer of gauze and the door was closed. The light in the room was dim, and coupled with the man's extremely strong aura, his presence was so oppressive that it was impossible to ignore.

He just stared at her, and her throat tightened for no reason:

"Aren't you... in the study?"

Tang Mu's gaze shifted from her face to the phone she was holding:

"If I don't keep an eye on you, I'm afraid you'll run away again."

Qin Ye got angry when she mentioned this. She frowned and said coldly, "Since you are already engaged to the Shen family, why are you still keeping me locked up?"

"Don't forget, you signed a one-year contract with me."

"You forced me to sign that. I don't want to be your mistress."

Qin Ye said this in a cold voice, then stood up, walked around him, and ran quickly towards the door.

I held the door handle and turned it twice, only to find that the door was locked with a key and could not be opened at all. At the same time, I felt a chill on my back.

I turned around warily and saw the man approaching.

With a height of nearly 1.9 meters, he loomed over her smaller figure, completely blocking her against the door panel.

He leaned over and stared at her closely: "You are angry."

Qin Ye pressed his body tightly against the door, leaning his head to one side, trying his best to stay away from him and avoid him: "Since I met you, I have been angry every day, and there has not been a single happy day!"

"Your anger today is different from before."

His dark eyes flashed with light, as if he saw through everything:

"When I was angry before, I was straightforward and would even fight with me, but today I kept everything to myself. Is it because of Shen Jiaoyang?"

Qin Ye choked:

"Yes! I just feel sorry for Shen Jiaoyang. Her fiancé is so philandering and even puts two women together. Any woman would mind it!"

"Does it bother you?"

"I...what are you thinking about? Don't think too highly of yourself."

She wished that he would quickly throw himself into Shen Jiaoyang's arms, and the two of them would love each other passionately, and then drive her, the annoying third party, out of Yujing Garden.

"You're lying." Tang Mu turned his head to meet her gaze, "You're angry because of Shen Jiaoyang's appearance. You care a lot and are bothered by it."

"Qin Ye, you have me in your heart."

Qin Ye's eyes flickered, with astonishment in his eyes.

How could she like Tang Mu? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"I'm angry because you're too greedy, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, not because I like you!"

"I didn't say you liked me, you said it yourself."

"you!"

Qin Ye seemed to be trapped. He was annoyed and embarrassed by his stare. He pushed his chest hard with both hands and tried to run away, but was held behind the door by the man's hand.

A slender leg pushed in, holding her up, unable to move. This posture made her cheeks red with annoyance:

"Let me go!"

"You obviously care." Tang Mu lowered his head and sprayed warm air beside her ear. "Qin Ye, your emotions are affected by me. You care about me, why don't you admit it?"

"I don't!"

Qin Ye clenched his hands and stared at him angrily with his red eyes.

She answered very quickly and decisively, without thinking, and when she met the man's smiling and inquiring eyes, her heart sank.

Her reaction was too intense.

Damn it!

"Tang Mu, I hate you...ah..."
