After being safely rescued, Mo Shang hurriedly pulled Hua Xiaoxiao aside and glared angrily at Du Xiu. Hua Xiaoxiao moved slowly, letting Mo Shang pull her along, but her gaze remained fixed on Gu Liyan.
There was no expression on that beautiful face, but Hua Xiaoxiao keenly noticed that there were tears glistening in Gu Liyan's eyes.
His gaze was tender and gentle as he looked at Hua Xiaoxiao, as if he wanted to imprint Hua Xiaoxiao's image deeply in his heart.
Their eyes met, and a ripple of emotion stirred within Hua Xiaoxiao. She opened her mouth to say something, but Zi Xin suddenly ran over and called out somewhat angrily:
"Xiao Li! You idiot, why did you run over to save this bastard?"
Hearing Zi Xin's words, Mo Shang glared at her with some displeasure, but dared not say anything more.
Hearing Zi Xin's words, Hua Xiaoxiao, who was standing to the side, also looked at her with a question: Yes, why would Gu Liyan save Mo Shang?
Hua Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Liyan, trying to see something in his eyes.
Gu Liyan saw Hua Xiaoxiao looking at him, smiled slightly, but remained silent after glancing at Hua Xiaoxiao.
Seeing that Gu Liyan remained silent and showed no sign of resistance, Du Xiu became smug and addressed the crowd:
"This beautiful young master is my hostage! If you don't want him to get hurt, you'd better stay away!"
For some reason, upon hearing Duxiu's words, everyone took a step back, as if they were afraid of provoking Duxiu and hurting Gu Liyan.
Seeing everyone's cooperation, Du Xiu chuckled and whispered a fawning smile in Gu Liyan's ear:
"Young master, you are truly handsome. If we take you to the Central District, we're sure to get a good price for you!"
Gu Liyan had no chance to speak and could only let Duxiu drag him towards the door.
Seeing Hua Xiaoxiao's silent attitude, Gu Liyan's heart had turned cold. Could she disregard her own safety for Mo Shang and have absolutely no feelings for him?
At this moment, Gu Liyan felt like a joke, a huge joke!
Gu Liyan smiled faintly, a smile that was both self-deprecating and helpless. He finally understood how wronged Xiaoxiao had felt back then.
but……
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Shang behind Hua Xiaoxiao: This way, Mo Shang and his family will accept Xiaoxiao, right? The Mo family, the richest family in Xicheng, is enough to give her a lifetime of happiness!
Du Xiu thought Gu Liyan would resist, so he forcefully dragged Gu Liyan toward the carriage outside the door, repeatedly warning everyone, "You all step back! Or I'll stab him to death!"
Zi Xin looked at Gu Liyan anxiously and warned, "Release Xiao Li right now, I won't do anything to you, otherwise I will definitely not let you off!"
"Hmph, once we get into the central city, who do you think will be able to find me? This young master is quite handsome. Do you think I'd let this opportunity come to me so easily?" After saying that, Du Xiu snorted coldly, pushed Gu Liyan onto the carriage, jumped on himself, and drove off along the route.
After chasing for a few steps, Zi Xin couldn't catch up and immediately stomped her feet in anger, cursing, "That bastard!"
Hua Xiaoxiao watched the car get further and further away, and suddenly felt empty inside.
Thinking back to the first time I met Gu Liyan in the snow.
The thought of Gu Liyan's figure blocking his way
Thinking of how Gu Liyan steadily caught him after he fell.
In addition, he just stepped forward and saved Mo Shang in front of me.
Hua Xiaoxiao suddenly had a strange feeling; she didn't know when, but her heart had long been completely occupied by Gu Liyan's image!
Suddenly, tears welled up in Hua Xiaoxiao's eyes. Just then, Mo Shang breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward, saying to Hua Xiaoxiao, "Phew...it's finally alright! Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry I misunderstood you. Don't worry, no matter how much my father objects, I will marry you!"
Seeing Mo Shang's confident tone, Hua Xiaoxiao didn't show much joy. Instead, she calmly turned around and asked the people behind her, "Do you know what the old man meant by Central City?"
“I! I know! Central City is the most central place of the four cities. It’s a melting pot of all sorts of people, and all kinds of businesses are there. If that young master is taken there, I’m afraid…” a knowledgeable henchman said, “he’ll probably be sold to the slave market.”
Upon hearing his words, everyone's expression changed slightly, and Zi Xin frowned even more.
Mo Shang, standing to the side, curled his lip indifferently and said, "That guy brought it on himself. Anyway, I'm fine."
Upon hearing Mo Shang's words, everyone glared at him with disdain. Seeing their sharp gazes, Mo Shang realized he had misspoke and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Um, I, what I meant was, if I'm alright, I can use my connections to save him."
Hua Xiaoxiao turned her head, her cold gaze carrying a chilling red hue, and looked at Mo Shang, speaking coldly:
"You must save him!"
Mo Shang subconsciously swallowed and nodded hastily. Behind him, Zi Xin watched Hua Xiaoxiao's change and for some reason, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
Meanwhile, Du Xiu and Gu Liyan arrived at a secluded forest.
"Aaaaaah! Help!"
A scream of agony came from the carriage in the jungle.
A moment later, the carriage curtain was lifted, and Gu Liyan got off the carriage looking annoyed. Nine white tails were visible, along with a pair of cute, fluffy white fox ears.
Gu Liyan straightened his clothes, his hands stained with blood, and immediately cursed with a look of disgust:
"You fat bastard! Get out here!"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's curses, Du Xiu scrambled out and knelt directly in front of Gu Liyan. His already somewhat chubby face was now swollen and bruised like a pig's head, a truly pitiful sight.
