Seeing that Mu Tiantian showed no joy whatsoever, Raine frowned slightly. "Unwilling?"
If it were any other woman, she would have agreed without hesitation.
However, if she doesn't obey him, then there's no need to keep her in the Duke's mansion.
He doesn't need disobedient people.
Mu Tiantian noticed his impatience and quickly agreed, saying happily, "Of course I'm willing, but... why me?"
She knew Ryan's temperament; anyone who disobeyed his orders would be sold back to the slave market.
So, to avoid making the mission more complicated, she will try her best not to clash with Raine.
“You don’t need to know,” Raine ordered. “Go change your clothes.”
Later, Mu Tiantian learned that Raine had taken Mu Yun to the palace banquet in order to make Mu Yun jealous.
At the banquet, when Raine saw Mu Yun, he suppressed his discomfort and reached out to put his arm around Mu Tiantian's waist.
Mu Tiantian instinctively resisted, grabbing his wrist and forcefully twisting it outwards.
Raine looked at his wrist, which she had grabbed, and the slight anger in his eyes disappeared, replaced by surprise.
He didn't seem to feel any discomfort.
"Sorry, it was just an instinctive reaction." Mu Tiantian's eyes were filled with anger as she released her hand with a forced smile.
She strongly suspected that the system data was wrong. Wasn't it said that his past experiences made him averse to women getting close to him?
How could he take advantage of her like this?
Raine wanted to know if he really didn't mind being with her, so he instinctively grabbed her wrist.
"What are you going to do?" Mu Tiantian swallowed, somewhat worried.
Ryan's temper has always been unpredictable; he wouldn't want to break her wrist, would he?
He looked at her in surprise, but felt no disgust at all.
Mu Tiantian unceremoniously pulled her hand away, wondering what had gotten into Renn.
From that time on, Ryan started ordering her around even more frequently.
At the court banquet, he drank quite a bit of wine in an effort to cultivate good relationships with other nobles.
On the way back to the Duke's mansion, Mu Tiantian almost vomited all over herself, but luckily she dodged quickly.
I don't know what got into him, but he wouldn't let anyone else help him and insisted on being supported by her.
If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, she would have liked to punch him unconscious.
So much to do!
Mu Tiantian struggled to support him, muttering under her breath, "Damn it! You're so heavy, how come you didn't drink yourself to death?"
"What did you say?" Renn frowned, rubbing his temples. The dizziness from the alcohol was really unpleasant.
Mu Tiantian's mind worked quickly, and she changed the subject, "I said, Duke, your alcohol tolerance is amazing. You've drunk so much and you haven't passed out."
Once in the bedroom, she threw him onto the bed with the force of a trash can, saying, "I'm sorry, Duke, I didn't have the strength."
After saying that, she prepared to leave.
"Stop!" Ryan called out to her.
Mu Tiantian took a deep breath, rolled her eyes, and as soon as she turned around, she felt her wrist being pulled by a strong force. The next moment, she was pressed down by Rein's tall body.
She kicked him in a panic.
Renn groaned, clutching his stomach; he was surprisingly strong.
Mu Tiantian wanted to kick again, but Raine grabbed her ankle, his brows furrowed, "If you don't want to be kicked out of the Duke's mansion, you'd better behave yourself."
"What do you want to do?" Mu Tiantian's face was very bad. She forcefully pulled her foot back and looked at him warily.
Reyn was unhappy with her attitude towards him. He reached out and pinched her cheek, saying angrily, "You are my slave. You do whatever I tell you to do."
“Otherwise…” Raine’s lips curved slightly, “I see you’re quite interested in that little mermaid…”
Mu Tiantian took a deep breath and forced a smile, but there was no smile in her eyes. "The Duke is right. How about this, I'll go make you a hangover soup. You look quite unwell. You need to have the strength to do anything else, right?"
Seeing that Tinoy's treatment was effective, Raine felt a mix of emotions. He suppressed his smile, gave a cold snort, and released his grip.
Mu Tian got out of bed to make him a hangover soup, and while she was at it, she mixed some medicine and added it in, saying, "It won't kill you!"
Ryan had no idea she had added something to the soup.
He only remembered that the soup was delicious, he went to the toilet many times, and he slept very soundly that night.
It was the most peaceful night's sleep he had ever had in all those years.
It was from that time on that he gradually lowered his guard against her.
Until she betrayed him...
Thinking of this, Renn gave a cold laugh.
Escape? Mu Tiantian, you can't escape. It's time to settle the scores of the past.
...
Mu Tiantian was driving and was about to arrive in Mor City.
Seven: [This is Raine's car; they can't enter Noy territory.]
Mu Tiantian gripped the steering wheel tightly, feeling dizzy, and her lips were so dry they were peeling.
She didn't say anything.
According to the address given by the Seventh Bureau, the shortest route to the seaside requires crossing the city of Mor.
The city gate was not far away, and there were guards outside the gate.
Several men, holding hunting rifles, yelled at her, "Stop!"
Mu Tiantian stepped on the gas and crashed through the city gate railing.
The guards yelled behind her car, "Stop! Or we'll shoot!"
Bang!
Bang!
Then several gunshots rang out.
Mu Tiantian controlled the steering wheel; the bullets that hit the car body had little effect.
Mu Shaocheng's car was stopped by guards who fired shots, resulting in bullet holes in the car body.
The driver panicked and dared not give chase any further, so he hurriedly slammed on the brakes.
"My car!" Mu Shaocheng was heartbroken. This car was a brand new one produced this year, and it cost him a lot of silver coins.
But he didn't dare to seek compensation from the Duke.
Ryan got out of the car and spoke with a few guards before getting back in, looking very unhappy.
"Your Grace, who was the person who drove your car away?" Mu Shaocheng asked with concern. "Do you need our help?"
Renn's eyes were terrifyingly sinister as he roared, "Shut up!"
Noy’s territory forbids him from entering.
He never imagined that Neu would become a duke.
Renn was determined to get rid of Noy sooner or later.
Mu Shaocheng was displeased to see that Renn was treating him like a servant and scolded him several times.
Damn it, once he inherits the Mu family, not to mention a duke, even a king would have to show him respect.
Just then, the guard who was about to let them leave saw Luya's face through the car window and called out again, "Wait a minute."
The guard held up a portrait and compared it to Luya's, saying to his guards, "This is the person Duke Noy is looking for. Take him away."
As they spoke, the group forcibly opened the car door and grabbed Luya.
Luya panicked, "What are you doing?"
She instinctively wanted to resist, but Ryan pressed down on her shoulder and gave her a look, signaling her to go with them.
Mu Shaocheng said nothing; he was hoping that his newly found niece would run into some trouble.
Luya didn't resist anymore and got out of the car.
Ryan pulled his hand back and wiped it with a tissue, as if he had just touched something dirty.
Luya caught a glimpse of his actions and felt incredibly distressed.
She used to think nothing of it, but ever since she saw him holding that woman's hand and not letting go, and even trying to catch up with her, her feelings changed, and she felt a little bitter.
She was certain that the woman was Mu Tiantian.
