"stop!"
The two cold words represented an order that brooked no disobedience.
The next moment, the whip struck the subordinate's face hard, and then Xiao Jinyan, dressed in a black suit, entered.
Her cold lips, delicate features, and dark eyes were captivating.
"Get out of here now!"
"Yes, yes, young master."
The subordinate was whipped, but couldn't retaliate, so he retreated to the side, feeling wronged.
Xiao Shenxing wasn't surprised at all to see Xiao Jinyan suddenly appear here. However, a dark undercurrent appeared in his previously playful eyes.
"Brother, why don't you change your bad temper? You're still so rude and impolite. Especially in front of a beautiful woman, you'll scare her away. No wonder you've been single all these years."
As he spoke, Xiao Shenxing couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Her scent was clearly audible in the air, which was truly comforting.
"Xiao Shenxing, you'd better not interfere in my affairs. You should keep a close eye on your wife and stop her from running around all day."
Xiao Jinyan's words were full of hidden meaning, causing Xiao Shenxing's expression to change imperceptibly, despite his previously carefree attitude.
On the other side, Xiao Qingxue ignored the verbal sparring between the two. As soon as she saw Xiao Jinyan, her eyes lit up, and she rushed over to take his arm.
"Brother Jinyan, what brings you here? Are you here to see Xue'er?"
Her sweet, delicate voice was completely different from the arrogant and domineering young lady she had just spoken of.
In comparison, Xiao Jinyan's voice sounded domineering and ruthless.
"Xue'er, when did I give you permission to come to my territory and kidnap people at will, and to dispose of my people without my consent?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Guo raised her delicate eyebrows slightly.
His people?
That sounds so awkward!
Sure enough, Xiao Qingxue immediately got angry upon hearing this.
"Brother Jinyan, are you blaming me? What's so good about that ugly girl? Why do you always side with her! She almost disfigured my face! Look!"
Xiao Qingxue removed the gauze from her face. Although medicine had been applied, the red marks on her face were still clearly visible.
Xiao Jinyan's expression changed, and she pursed her lips.
"I have the best medicine for injuries; I'll have Qinglong bring it to you later. From now on, don't cause trouble in my territory without my permission. Otherwise, don't ever come looking for me again!"
"But Brother Jinyan, I..."
Xiao Qingxue wanted to say something, but Xiao Jinyan had already turned around and walked out.
Halfway there, seeing that the person behind him hadn't followed, his face darkened, and his tone was clearly impatient.
"Muguo, aren't you leaving yet? You just escaped death from Wolf Castle, and you're already tired of living?"
Was he calling her?
Mu Guo paused. Although she didn't want to go back with Xiao Jinyan, she had no choice but to go back with him now. Otherwise, she would suffer even more if she fell into Xiao Qingxue's hands.
So she had no choice but to obediently follow behind him as they walked out.
"Damn it, this is infuriating!"
Xiao Qingxue watched helplessly as the wooden fruit escaped from her grasp, and stomped her feet in anger.
She's just a servant, isn't she? Why does Brother Jinyan keep speaking up for her?
Could it really be as this bitch said, that she and Brother Jinyan have already slept together?!
No, no, even if they really slept together, she can forget about staying by Jin Yan's side.
As the third young lady of the Xiao family, and deeply loved by the old master, she always finds an opportunity to tear this hateful woman to pieces!
