Ji Yueyao looked up at Mu Yanxuan, who was sitting beside her and draping a coat over her shoulders, and suddenly asked, "Mu Yanxuan, you won't leave me in the future, will you?"
"Why do you ask that?" Mu Yanxuan reacted faster than lightning upon hearing this. He frowned and looked at Ji Yueyao, a dangerous and volatile storm brewing in his eyes. "Ji Yueyao, let me tell you, if one day you want to leave me... do you believe I will make everyone around you leave you first?"
"...Ahem." So fierce... She clearly asked if Mu Yanxuan would leave her, how did it turn into her leaving him...? Ji Yueyao scratched her head, obediently muttering, "I didn't say I would leave you..."
Mu Yanxuan didn't speak. He directly raised his hand and trapped Ji Yueyao in his arms, so tightly that Ji Yueyao couldn't move at all, using his actions to express his anger and tension.
“Mu Yanxuan…” Ji Yueyao was speechless. Just as she was about to criticize Mu Yanxuan’s childish behavior, there was a knock on the door. She hummed twice, turned her face away, and swallowed the words she was about to say.
Then, Xuehu walked into the living room, bowed respectfully to Mu Yanxuan and Ji Yueyao, and said with a strange expression, "My lord, there is a woman outside looking for you."
A woman? Ji Yueyao narrowed her glasses, while Mu Yanxuan felt his arm being pinched hard. His face twitched, and he looked down at Ji Yueyao's dangerous little eyes, feeling only pleasure. His answer was also crisp and clean: "No."
Upon receiving the order, the snow fox quickly retreated again.
Seeing Mu Yanxuan's decisive answer, Ji Yueyao was stunned. "You're just refusing like that? What if someone outside comes looking for you?"
"What could a woman possibly have to do with this?" Mu Yanxuan continued to hold Ji Yueyao nonchalantly, his tone indifferent yet clearly carrying a hint of contempt. "The only people at the Xiyu base qualified to talk to me are people like Yu Zhenlong."
Although the feeling of contempt was only for a moment, Ji Yueyao still clearly caught it. She raised her head, frowned slightly with displeasure, and said, "Mu Yanxuan... do you look down on women?"
"Why should I respect women who are manipulated by men?" Mu Yanxuan said indifferently. "Except for you, Ji Yueyao... I think most other women are people I don't need to pay attention to."
These words... Ji Yueyao blushed. He glared at Mu Yanxuan, snorted twice, and turned his head away. How could she be so clever... He really didn't know where she learned such sweet talk.
Seeing Ji Yueyao turn her head away, Mu Yanxuan was dumbfounded. Ling Yang had told him that he must praise his woman in all sorts of ways for her to be happy. He had clearly told her the truth, so why was Ji Yueyao ignoring him?
"My lord." Snow Fox came running in again, spoiling the mood. He looked at Mu Yanxuan's conflicted expression and felt that this task was not easy to do.
"What is it now?" Mu Yanxuan frowned, his voice filled with murderous intent, which scared Xuehu so much that he almost shrank into the corner. What had he done wrong now...? I knew this job was not easy!
"Sir, the woman at the door is determined not to leave. She says she is Liang Siling's sister, Liang Sisi, and that she came as agreed." Snow Fox mustered her courage and blurted out everything in one breath.
"Liang Sisi?" Mu Yanxuan didn't react much when she heard the name, but Ji Yueyao looked up.
"You know him?" Mu Yanxuan raised an eyebrow.
Ji Yueyao nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "She was someone I worked with when we were on a mission at the Xiyu base... Our relationship wasn't particularly good or bad... What does she want from you? Do you have any agreements with her?"
"Who knows?" Mu Yanxuan waved his hand dismissively. "Since you know her, let her in."
Since Mu Yanxuan had already given the order, Xuehu naturally felt like he had been granted a pardon and went to call Liang Sisi... Heaven knows how fierce the woman at the door was. He had just said that the master wouldn't let her in, and she almost scratched his face.
"I told you he would definitely let me in." Liang Sisi glared at Xuehu, but instead of going in, she stood at the door and kept tidying her clothes and hair... Her hair was neat and smooth, perfect; her clothes were wrinkle-free and brand new; and her face was exquisitely made up, with absolutely appropriate makeup.
Snow Fox looked at Liang Sisi with an expression as if she were an idiot, finding it offensive and also feeling a bit curious. Could this woman have some kind of agreement with the adults?
Liang Sisi tidied herself up for more than a minute before gracefully walking towards the living room. She was finally going to see Mu Yanxuan... Her heart was pounding wildly.
Walking through the hallway into the living room, Liang Sisi immediately saw Mu Yanxuan sitting on the sofa. The man sat casually, his dark eyes looking elsewhere, filled with a gentle light. His soft hair was slightly disheveled, but combined with his unapproachable aura, it only inspired a sense of worship and submission. Mu Yanxuan's long legs were casually crossed, without any restless trembling, just a calm demeanor that exuded a unique sense of pressure.
This is Mu Yanxuan, the commander of the military region... Liang Sisi's eyes were filled with infatuation. This is the person her sister told her to marry, and the person she has been longing for since she was sixteen.
Ji Yueyao leaned back on the sofa, watching Liang Sisi walk towards her. She noticed that Liang Sisi had clearly dressed up carefully, looking lively, cute, and charming. However, Liang Sisi's eyes were full of Mu Yanxuan, and she obviously didn't notice her at all.
She couldn't help but twitch her lips. When did her presence become so insignificant? Ji Yueyao glanced at Mu Yanxuan's innocent face but still couldn't help covering her face. Tch, a male beauty who brings trouble.
Mu Yanxuan was caught in the crossfire. He blinked, wanting to pull Ji Yueyao over to hear what she was thinking about him, but there were outsiders present... He looked at Liang Sisi with great impatience, feeling that letting her in was a mistake. "What do you want?"
"Um...that..." Liang Sisi blushed when Mu Yanxuan asked her so directly. She looked shy and demure, like a girl from a modest family, and there was no trace of the proud young lady she used to have.
This is truly an eye-opener… Ji Yueyao opened her eyes wide, completely surprised that the once proud and assertive Liang Sisi could be so shy. No, she needed to drink some water to calm her nerves.
"What?" Mu Yanxuan's impatience reached its peak. He looked at Liang Sisi's hesitant expression and almost wanted to kick her out.
Although Liang Sisi was captivated by Mu Yanxuan, she still keenly sensed his impatience towards her. Suppressing her excitement and shyness, she whispered, "Actually... it was my sister who asked me to come find you and tell you about marrying me."
"Pfft—cough cough cough cough!" Ji Yueyao spat out a mouthful of water in one gulp. She coughed a few times, then let out a long sigh, slightly startled. (To be continued.)
