A barrage of kisses descended, carrying with it a chilling coldness.
His hands, seemingly nibbling and biting, roamed haphazardly around her waist, making Xu Zhuohua itch from the back of her skin all the way to her heart.
Xu Zhuohua's mouth was pried open, then her breath was taken away, and her legs went weak.
Cheng Muyun supported Xu Zhuohua's body with both hands, and when the person in his arms stopped struggling, the violent downpour turned into a drizzle.
A gentle kiss.
Cheng Muyun held Xu Zhuohua in his arms, his tone filled with helplessness and despair.
Why can't you just listen to me?
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhuohua felt extremely wronged.
She was captured by Cheng Muyun and forced to experience terrifying things that many people would never experience in their entire lives. In order to protect herself, she did not hesitate to damage her own reputation.
Today's confrontation with Chen Hede was also to get to the bottom of things, so that Cheng Muyun wouldn't be kept in the dark.
How did that become promiscuity?
Anyone can criticize her, but Cheng Muyun cannot!
Xu Zhuohua forced back her tears and stepped on Cheng Muyun's leather shoes.
Cheng Muyun neither dodged nor flinched, taking the kick without uttering a sound.
Xu Zhuohua felt like she had punched cotton, and her grievances only intensified, causing her to burst into tears.
When the girl's sobbing cries rang out, Cheng Muyun, who had originally intended to give her a minor punishment, suddenly panicked.
"You all bully me! I don't want to be here anymore! I want to go home! Waaaaah—"
Having been in this era for almost a month, Xu Zhuohua, who was originally full of confidence to change her fate, has now lost all her enthusiasm.
She had only one thought on her mind: to go home.
She didn't want to be eaten by this cannibalistic old society and become its meal.
Cheng Muyun supported Xu Zhuohua's body and said softly, "I'm sorry, it was my fault. I'll take you back to the Xu family right away."
Xu Zhuohua cried even harder, “I don’t want to go back to the Xu family! Everyone wants to bully me, they make me kneel in the ancestral hall, they don’t let me eat, no one in this world is sincere to me.”
At this moment, Cheng Muyun truly understood that Xu Zhuohua's seemingly indifferent demeanor was all a facade; she simply avoided letting her gaze linger on things that didn't belong to her.
But this does not mean that Xu Zhuohua does not yearn for family affection; everyone needs love.
"Chen Hede used me, the Xu family used me, and you used me too. I'm just a pawn. Anyone can step on me. Why? Why?"
Xu Zhuohua clenched her fist and slammed it into Cheng Muyun's solid chest. The strong vibration in her hand allowed her to release some of the pent-up grievances in her heart.
Cheng Muyun protected Xu Zhuohua's head. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you. It's my fault for not protecting you."
Xu Zhuohua cried so hard she could barely breathe, not knowing how Cheng Muyun had brought her back to the Cheng mansion. Exhausted from crying, she fell asleep in Cheng Muyun's arms.
Cheng Muyun gently wiped away the tears on Xu Zhuohua's face with his fingers.
He now desperately wants to know why Xu Zhuohua was sent to a nunnery for six years and what she encountered there.
These matters still need to be investigated in Dongzhou.
The next morning, Xu Zhuohua was awakened by the chirping of birds outside.
The familiar bird calls, along with the sounds of servants sweeping and cleaning in the courtyard, made Xu Zhuohua feel very at ease.
It feels so good, like I'm back at the Cheng Mansion.
Xu Zhuohua opened her eyes, stared at the unfamiliar ceiling, and suddenly became fully awake.
Cheng Muyun suddenly woke up with a start, his shoulders twitching. Their hands were still tightly clasped together.
The man, still half-asleep, had been leaning against the headboard all night and his shoulders were sore.
Xu Zhuohua quickly let go of her hand, covered herself with the blanket, and groped around haphazardly with her hands.
Fortunately, the clothes are still there.
Cheng Muyun sat up straight, rubbed his shoulders, and said, "I am a gentleman."
Xu Zhuohua glanced at Cheng Muyun's cracked lip and rolled her eyes. "You're not."
"If I'm not, then who am I? Xiao Wuxin or Chen Hede?"
When this topic came up again, Xu Zhuohua said irritably, "Of course it's Xiao Wuxin. Even if you and Chen Hede are combined, you still can't compare to Xiao Wuxin."
Cheng Muyun curled his lips into a smile. "It's such a pity. You're already engaged to me, so you won't have another chance to find Zepeng."
Xu Zhuohua pouted, "I have no feelings for Xiao Wuxin at all. It's your eyes that are dirty and you can't see anything clean."
Seeing Xu Zhuohua so cautious and prickly, Cheng Muyun felt relieved.
She cried so hard last night, it was like she had died once.
"If it's not interesting, that's fine. What Xiao Wuxin is doing is too dangerous. Stay away from him."
Xu Zhuohua pursed her lips.
You say Xiao Wuxin's actions are dangerous? Well, what you're doing is truly dangerous, okay?
He engaged in dangerous, high-risk activities, and even lost his wife's life.
"So you were angry yesterday because I was getting too close to Xiao Wuxin?"
Cheng Muyun shook his head. "I'm not angry. I just don't want you to have contact with Chen Hede. He's also dangerous."
Xu Zhuohua rolled over, seemingly unconcerned. "I know Chen Hede is a cunning and selfish person, so I definitely won't provoke him."
Cheng Muyun reached out and patted Xu Zhuohua's head. "Good boy."
Xu Zhuohua immediately burrowed into the covers, ignoring Cheng Muyun.
There was a rustling sound outside, the sound of clothes rubbing together.
Then Xu Zhuohua was suddenly hit by something light and airy.
She peeked out from under the covers; it was a set of clothes.
Cheng Muyun said, "The maid will come in to tidy up in a moment. You should change your clothes."
Xu Zhuohua sat up abruptly. "Where is this place?"
"My room."
Why did you bring me to your room in the middle of the night?
