Mo Shang turned pale with fright upon hearing this and frantically cried out to Hua Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao! Help me!"
Upon hearing Mo Shang's cry for help, Hua Xiaoxiao's heart softened immediately, and she quickly comforted him, "Brother Mo, don't be afraid, I'll come to save you right away!"
As she spoke, Hua Xiaoxiao took a few steps forward, but Duxiu shouted, "Stop right there! If you, you vixen, dare to come any closer, I'll kill him!"
Hua Xiaoxiao immediately stopped in her tracks. "I... I won't move. Please don't hurt Brother Mo."
Seeing Hua Xiaoxiao gazing at him with deep affection, Mo Shang felt a surge of emotion and, abandoning his pretense, said, "Xiaoxiao! I'm sorry, I listened to this guy's slander and made you suffer!"
Hearing Mo Shang's words, Hua Xiaoxiao blushed and couldn't help but feel shy. "I, I'm fine, your safety is the most important!"
creak creak—
The sound of Gu Liyan grinding his teeth came from the side. This Mo Shang, I really underestimated him! I didn't expect him to use a self-inflicted injury to pick up girls at a time like this!
Gu Liyan looked at Du Xiu and said, "You with the goat beard, hurry up and give him a quick death! This kind of person doesn't deserve to die!"
Hua Xiaoxiao was deeply moved and immediately said to Duxiu, "Old man, with my master here, you can't escape!"
“That’s right! I’m pretty good! You’d better surrender right now, or you’ll suffer less!” Zi Xin patted her flat chest triumphantly.
"Hmph, do you think I'm stupid? The hostage I have is the richest man in Xicheng, and also the sweetheart of a little girl like you. Do you think I would let him go?" Du Xiu sneered.
Hua Xiaoxiao immediately lost her temper and said in a low voice, "Then, then I'll switch with him!"
Gu Liyan's eyes widened. Hua Xiaoxiao actually disregarded her own safety to save Mo Shang? Gu Liyan swayed, almost losing her balance.
Could it be that she has really fallen for Mo Shang?
What is it about him that I don't have?
Mo Shang was moved to tears, "Smile..."
“Brother Mo…” Hua Xiaoxiao also looked at Mo Shang with tenderness.
Du Xiu couldn't stand the way the two of them were showing affection, and was about to reprimand them when Gu Liyan, with a cold look in his eyes, walked straight past Hua Xiaoxiao.
Everyone stared at Gu Liyan in astonishment. His upright back was truly captivating, and his resolute gaze flashed with sharp coldness.
When Gu Liyan stood in front of Duxiu, Duxiu finally realized that he had been so captivated by Gu Liyan's face that he hadn't even noticed him standing right in front of him! For a moment, he didn't know what to say to this stunningly handsome young man.
Gu Liyan's face was gloomy. He pointed at Mo Shang, then at himself, and then glared fiercely at Du Xiu.
Du Xiu immediately understood. "Alright, alright, I'll release them! You'll be my hostage!"
To everyone's astonishment, Gu Liyan became Du Xiu's hostage.
Gu Liyan glared at Mo Shang, then shoved him aside, letting the sharp dagger fall against her neck.
Hua Xiaoxiao, seeing that Gu Liyan had traded herself for Mo Shang's safety, looked at Gu Liyan with a puzzled expression, "Xiao Li, you..."
Gu Liyan looked at Hua Xiaoxiao calmly without saying a word, then looked at Mo Shang. He wasn't pretending to be a good person, nor was he acting out of pity.
It was just that she didn't want to see the worry in Hua Xiaoxiao's eyes!
If Hua Xiaoxiao can be happy, and truly falls in love with someone else, then he…
I will definitely make her happy.
