No sooner had she finished speaking than a seductive male voice rang out from outside the door.
"Haha, my beauty is indeed very perceptive."
She recognized the voice; he was there the very night Xiao Jinyan brought her back from the savage village.
This is Xiao Shenxing, the second young master of the Xiao family. And Wen Qingwan is his wife.
When Mu Guo looked up, she saw that Xiao Shenxing was already in front of her, with the corners of his mouth turned up high, smiling innocently.
But Mu Guo knew that the more kind a person seemed on the surface, the more cunning they might be.
She ended up like this because she didn't see through the true nature of this kind of person.
"Second Young Master, you flatter me. I'm not a beauty at all. Haven't you heard Third Miss keep calling me 'ugly duckling'?"
Mu Guo's voice suddenly turned cold, and even her eyes, which had just been slightly smiling, froze in an instant.
Xiao Shenxing showed no sign of anger. While untying the ropes binding Mu Guo, he leaned close to her, took a deep breath on her neck, and then closed his eyes, as if savoring the moment.
"I smelled it when I was at Xiao Jinyan's house. No woman smells as good as you. Fresh, natural, unpretentious, and with that...sweet fragrance that drives men crazy~"
Just before his alluring lips were about to land on her neck, Mu Guo managed to break free of his restraints and dodge.
"Thank you for saving me, Second Young Master. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
"No need for thanks, but the whip Xiao Qingxue just received is definitely on your head. Do you think you have any chance of leaving here safely?"
A mocking voice came from behind, carrying a hint of laziness and schadenfreude.
She knew, of course, that Xiao Qingxue wouldn't let her go, which was why she had to run!
As soon as Xiao Shenxing finished speaking, a series of footsteps approached from afar.
"Arrest that bitch!"
Upon hearing that willful and capricious voice, one could tell it belonged to Xiao Qingxue.
It seems she was too late.
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of tall men dressed as bodyguards surrounded her.
"My beauty, you can't escape now. Why don't you come with me? I might save your life."
Xiao Shenxing, who never seemed to care about anything, appeared behind her and whispered in her ear.
Mu Guo rolled her eyes inwardly.
These two brothers are so narcissistic, always thinking they have everything under control.
Xiao Qingxue, who had just been bandaged up, had obviously seen Xiao Shenxing and pouted in confusion.
"Second brother, what are you doing here? I'm disciplining the unruly servants, don't stop me."
"Xue'er, your second brother has always loved you the most. Whatever you want to do, your second brother will never stop you. Tell me, what did this servant do to offend you? I'll teach her a lesson!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingxue merely scoffed dismissively.
"Second brother, with your personality of being unable to resist women, I don't expect you to help me deal with her. Don't stop me, or my whip might fall on your body!"
Because she had just been whipped by her own hand, Xiao Qingxue dared not do it herself again, and instead ordered one of her subordinates to do it for her.
The subordinate raised the leather whip in his hand and waved it a few times in the air, making a chilling sound.
Immediately afterwards, he raised the whip high and brought it straight down on the wood fruit.
"stop!"
The two cold words represented an order that brooked no disobedience.
