Chapter 393 She Wants an Explanation
Qi Luohan narrowed his dark eyes. Mu Xue's face was calm when she said this, but he could clearly see that her body was also shaking, which meant that she was always afraid.
Qi Luohan already knew what she was afraid of, because she explained that those servants had left a shadow on her mind. She hated them because she had been framed since she was a child.
No wonder——
Qi Luohan thought that Mu Xue had a secret and was afraid of being seen, but he never imagined that she had been abused.
An indescribable anger rushed out of Qi Luohan's chest.
"Don't you think your mother cares?"
He had never expected her childhood to be like this.
"Mother?"
Mu Xue thought of the woman whose family was wiped out by her father. Now she was just surviving in Mu Guoyan's hands. Even if Mu Guoyan brought the woman home to sleep, her mother would not dare to say a word.
Everything in the Han family belonged to my father, the son-in-law, and my mother felt that it was good enough to be able to survive.
Seeing that she stopped talking, Qi Luohan quickly stopped asking any more questions.
"If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to. It doesn't matter. This is your home now. The servants won't stare at you, and no one will report you and get you whipped."
Mu Xue forced a smile. She didn't expect a bright future. She had previously placed her hopes on Qin Hao, believing he could lead her out of the devil's den, but in the end, she was still completely controlled by Mu Guoyan. He gave her three years, and as long as she completed the task he assigned her, he would give her freedom.
She thought Qin Hao would wait for her, but she didn't expect that he would marry his best friend Li Tiantian in the blink of an eye.
After Qi Luohan drank a few sips of hot tea, Mu Xue finally regained her composure and looked at Qi Luohan with a normal expression, feeling deeply sorry for her loss of composure.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize it would cause you any trouble. Please apologize to the servants on my behalf. I was just frightened. It has nothing to do with them. Tell them not to take it to heart."
Qi Luohan looked at Mu Xue. At this moment, he believed her words completely. Her expression was like a frightened rabbit. If she had not lived in the shadow of abuse all year round, she would never have had such a muscle reaction.
What kind of life did she live in the past? What kind of family is the Mu family that they could abuse their own daughter like this?
“No need, the servants here have been working in the Qi family for many years. They are not gossipy and are not the kind of people who like to complain everywhere.
Besides, you didn't do anything wrong and don't need to explain to them. They are just servants I hired. If you don't like it, tell me and I can fire them at any time."
Mu Xue looked at him and suddenly said, "If I tell you that I don't like Sister Xiang, will you fire her?"
Qi Luohan fell silent, and Mu Xue knew he wouldn't.
"It's okay, don't be nervous, I'm just joking with you."
Mu Xue had her usual gentle smile on her face, but Qi Luohan felt that the Mu Xue in front of him had become a little strange.
Because her gentleness seemed to be made from a uniform mold in a workshop, without any emotion or authenticity.
"Mu Xue, unless you did something too unbelievable, Sister Xiang would never complain to you for no reason, and she would certainly not frame you.
I'm sorry you got scared today, but please don't make jokes about firing Axiang's wife. She's like a mother to me."
Qi Luohan was very serious and earnest. Mu Xue looked at him calmly, then sighed, her words calm and without any emotion.
"Got it. I won't make such jokes again. Luo Han, I'm a little tired. Can I rest early today?"
She didn't want to argue about the servants anymore. All Mu Xue was thinking about today was Qin Hao and Li Tiantian.
When did they start? Mu Xue kept reviewing the past. When they were together, Li Tiantian could be considered friends with her and Qin Hao.
But she never thought that Qin Hao would fall in love with Li Tiantian, and she was Li Tiantian's best friend, so how could she do that?
She even told Li Tiantian about the details of their intimate contact and kissing when she was with Qin Hao that night. Doesn't she mind?
Qi Luohan still thought that Mu Xue's abnormality was due to psychological reasons. He could understand that she was just frightened by the servant.
"This will be our bedroom from now on. If you need anything, just call me. We'll have dinner soon. You can rest for a while. Do you want to go downstairs to eat or should I bring it up for you to eat in the room?"
Mu Xue was lazy and had no appetite at all, but she was afraid that Qi Luohan would suspect her, so she didn't want to go downstairs and see A Xiang's face. After seeing it, she would think that her plan had failed.
That feeling was not pleasant. If possible, she would like to see Axiang's wife being sent to the intensive care unit and never appear in front of her again.
"Bring it up, I want to eat in my room."
Mu Xue seemed to have suffered a great shock. Qi Luohan followed her wishes and went downstairs.
Mu Xue was drowsy, and her mind kept flashing back to her past with Qin Hao. Compared to Qi Luohan, Qin Hao was more of a rich young master's ruffian.
He has an aloof look, unlike Qi Luohan who is always gentle and elegant. However, women just like that kind of bad man.
Qi Luohan made her feel very boring. Even though she had been with Qi Luohan for two years and the two of them were close enough to be considered a couple, she still couldn't fall in love with Qi Luohan.
Of course she wouldn't let Qi Luohan know. Tomorrow she would find an excuse to go back to the Mu family to see what was going on.
As for Qi Luohan, she no longer had the heart to care about him. She originally thought that the plan could be completed a year earlier.
After she was free, she could find Qin Hao to marry, but Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared along the way, and there was no point for her to stay here. Why did she stay with Qi Luohan if she couldn't marry Qin Hao?
Seeing that Mu Xue wouldn't listen to anything he said to her, Qi Luohan had no choice but to go downstairs.
Sister Xiang reminded: "I think Miss Mu is very abnormal. She looked unhappy when you brought her back. Is it because of me?"
Qi Luohan: "Aunt Xiang, I know you are good to me, but Mu Xue really didn't do this because of this. I'll go bring her food upstairs."
Mu Xue looked at the food in front of her with no appetite. After eating a little symbolically, she wanted Qi Luohan to leave.
"I just moved here and I'm not used to it yet. Can you let me sleep by myself at night?"
Qi Luohan thought that it was because of the bad memories that just happened that caused her to be in such a bad mood, and he expressed his understanding.
"My room is next to yours. Remember to call me if you need anything. You're new here and not familiar with it yet, so don't run around. If you want to visit, you can ask me to accompany you."
Mu Xue didn't answer, and Qi Luohan didn't know what she was thinking. He talked to her for a long time, but she didn't respond, so he could only take the food away.
Mu Xue sat alone on the second-floor balcony. At night, the lights in the courtyard were all on. As summer approached, insects chirped in the courtyard. She could even hear frogs. The night was quiet yet lively.
However, none of this could shake Mu Xue's cold heart. She even asked the servants to bring him some wine, and he sat on the balcony and drank it by himself.
Qi Luohan was afraid of upsetting her, so he didn't go upstairs to disturb her. However, when he stood in the yard and looked at the second floor, he could clearly see Mu Xue smoking and drinking without even telling him.
That demeanor was very much like that of a veteran, so how big of a blow had she suffered that she didn't even pretend in front of her?
Qi Luohan's initial intention to expose Mu Xue was instantly retracted. If Mu Xue had been hiding her true self, there would be no need for her to smoke and drink after coming back with him. Although Qi Luohan thought this idea was ridiculous, he still did not take it seriously.
“Eh…”
Mu Xue saw him throwing something at him. Qi Luohan's ink-black eyes were unusually bright in the dark night.
"What are you standing down there for? Come up and have a drink with me."
Mu Xuetuo's face was red. It was the first time that Qi Luohan heard her call his name in a non-gentle voice with a hint of teasing.
Her expression remained unchanged, but her voice became more heroic. Perhaps it was because of the wine, but Mu Xue's face became unusually charming and attractive in the moonlight.
Qi Luohan went upstairs for some unknown reason. Mu Xue ignored him and pushed the wine glass in front of him. Qi Luohan smelled a strong smell of alcohol on her body, and seeing that most of the red wine had been consumed, he knew that she had drunk a little too much.
"Why do you suddenly want to drink? I remember you never drank before."
The good girl who had been with him for two years suddenly changed her personality. Qi Luohan wondered if Mu Xue had been possessed by someone else?
"Just drink if you want to. Is there any taboo? Qi Luohan, it seems like we've never had a drink together before. Do you look down on me?"
She filled the red wine glass in front of him and pushed it in front of him without hesitation.
Qi Luohan glanced at the scarlet wine glass. The red liquid reflected his handsome face. He felt a little distressed when he looked at Mu Xue.
"You've had too much to drink. I'll take you inside to sleep."
He vaguely remembered Mu Guoyan's appearance. He didn't look like the beastly person that Mu Xue described. Why would he choose to be so cruel as to whip such a well-behaved daughter?
This is not the old society. Do we still have to follow such strange rules as addition?
Mu Xue refused.
"If you don't drink, I will. Qi Luohan, please leave me alone. It's still so early and the moon is so round. I don't want to go to bed. You must be trying to trick me."
She suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed at Qi Luohan, smiling charmingly. Qi Luohan had never seen her so charming when drunk, and he couldn't help but feel his heart fluttering.
"Muxue, you are drunk."
He was so drunk that he couldn't help wanting to kiss her. She was as changeable as a female demon, making Qi Luohan unable to figure her out.
"I'm not drunk, I can still drink more. Qi Luohan, do you like me? Why do you like me? Did you promise to take care of me for the rest of your life and never change your mind?"
Mu Xue suddenly held his face, reached out and gently drew along his facial features, as if she was looking at something.
For some reason, Qi Luohan always felt that Mu Xue was looking at someone else through him, but that person was not him.
Although he thought this idea was ridiculous, he couldn't help but lean towards it. He felt that Mu Xue didn't look like she was frightened today, but rather like a girl who was just beginning to fall in love and was rejected after confessing her love to someone.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he laughed at himself, wondering if he was overthinking it. Mu Xue had been with him for the past two years, and he had indeed checked and found that she basically never went out.
There were no opposite sex on social media. Qi Luohan wondered how he could possibly suspect such a pure girl of having an affair with another man.
"Okay, if you want me to drink with you, I'll drink with you, but can you tell me why you are so sad? Is it because of the punishment your father gave you when you were a child?"
Qi Luohan felt that if this was the case, then he could now become the man who supported Mu Xue and he would never let her suffer any harm again.
The Mu family is not considered a wealthy family in Rongcheng and cannot be compared with their Qi family.
Mu Xue did not answer his question, but just held his face and kept asking him for confirmation.
"You said you would love me forever, is that true? You won't leave me? But someone told me that you men are the best at lying, so Qi Luohan, you swear to me that what you said is true.
Don't lie to me, because if you lie to me, I will be very sad. I want to know, if I suddenly disappear in front of you, will you find someone else? "
I don't know if Mu Xue drank too much, but Qi Luohan couldn't understand everything she said today. He always felt that her words were incoherent and her actions were not on the same channel as her thoughts.
He didn't know how to answer her. He had said that he would never leave her in this life and would accompany her for the rest of her life. He often said this and thought so in his heart, because ever since he met Mu Xue, there was no room for other women in his eyes and heart.
Mu Xue is Qi Luohan's first love and the first woman his heart beats for. Before that, he didn't even have a secret crush on her.
If Qi Luoyan hadn't been in love with a man and his family hadn't encountered a major change, Qi Luohan would never have had any suspicions about Mu Xue.
He felt that love should be pure and without any interests involved, but Qi Luoyan's lesson taught him a heavy lesson, so now when he looked at Mu Xue, he felt that she had ulterior motives.
But he dared to swear that he was sincere to Mu Xue and had never thought of lying to her. As long as she had no problems and stayed with him sincerely, he thought he would marry her.
Mu Xue met all his requirements for a woman, and he felt that a woman like her was most suitable to be Mrs. Qi.
"Okay...that's what you said, so Qi Luohan, when are you going to marry me? I want a grand wedding, and you want the whole Rongcheng to know that I'm Mrs. Qi. Can you do it?"
Qi Luohan really wanted to agree to her, but seeing that Mu Xue looked drunk, he was afraid that she would not remember what she said today by tomorrow.
He could only stroke her head gently and say.
"I've proposed to you at least ten times in the past two years, but you haven't agreed. What's the reason that makes you suddenly want to marry me?"
He really wanted to know what had happened to her. It wasn't just because she was frightened by the servant today, but she suddenly felt the need for protection.
In the past two years, hadn't he been protecting her? He held her in his hands without hesitation, fearing that she would be hurt in the slightest.
Mu Xue looked at Qi Luohan's face. It wasn't the Qin Hao she had been thinking about day and night. She suddenly relaxed, and then smiled at Qi Luohan as if she had regained some sanity.
"Don't pay attention to what I said. I was just drunk and was just joking with you."
However, Qi Luohan refused to give in at this time. He held Mu Xue's hand and refused to let go.
"Muxue, I've thought about marrying you, and I'm serious about it. I even bought you a diamond ring, but you never agreed. I don't know what you think. You're drunk today. But I believe you're sober. So can you tell me why you suddenly want to marry me?"
Qi Luohan's eyes were full of affection, but Mu Xue smiled sarcastically.
Why? Why wasn't he Qin Hao? The man who had vowed to wait for her two years ago was now marrying another woman.
Qi Luohan is not Qin Hao. She recognizes the fact, so she regrets it. She will not marry Qi Luohan because he is not worthy of her.
Mu Xue pulled her hand out of Qi Luohan's and gave him a gentle smile.
"Just think of me as drunk and talking nonsense. You know my family is complicated. If our marriage can't be blessed by my family, what's the point?
Besides, we've been very happy together these past two years, haven't we? Why do we need that marriage certificate?"
After Mu Xue finished speaking, he seemed to regain consciousness and stood up to leave. He turned to the balcony and said to Qi Luohan, "I want to sleep now. Qi Ruohan, please sleep with me tonight."
Faced with this invitation, no man could resist the temptation. Qi Luohan simply smiled at the failure of his 11th marriage proposal.
For more than two years, he has become accustomed to Mu Xue's rejection. If she really agreed, he would still find it strange.
Mu Xue was really drunk and fell asleep on the bed in a short while. Qi Luohan looked at her sleeping face. He had no intention of taking advantage of her, but her drunken look was indeed attractive. Qi Luohan couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her lips.
Mu Xue moaned softly, turned over and hugged Qi Ruohan's neck tightly, and the two kissed each other. Qi Ruohan didn't know if he had heard it wrong.
He seemed to hear Mu Xue saying something like "OK," or "OK." What did "OK" mean? He didn't know what it represented, because soon their bodies were entangled together.
He had never possessed Mu Xue while she was drunk, and this was a new and indescribable experience for Qi Luohan.
After drinking, Mu Xue was like crazy. It was the first time she was so proactive in interacting with him.
Qi Luohan never knew that Mu Xue could be so charming when she took the initiative. They did it in every corner of the room.
So later he took Mu Xue into the bathroom, and Mu Xue pulled him into the bathtub full of water and did it twice.
That night, not only he, but even Mu Xue was exhausted. This experience was something Qi Ruohan would never forget.
The two of them hugged each other and slept until the next day. When Mu Xue opened her eyes and found Qi Luohan still sleeping beside her, she finally remembered how intense the two of them had been last night.
Compared to when they first met, Qi Luohan fell in love with her at first sight and had sex with her three times that night, it seemed like they had done it six times last night.
Thinking of this, Mu Xue blushed for the first time, but only she knew that she had clearly mistaken Qi Luohan for Qin Hao last night.
She and Qin Hao haven't been together for a long time. Qin Hao is actually a playboy who has played with countless women.
He has good skills and can do all kinds of tricks, so Mu Xue is fascinated by him. Qi Luohan is different. He is a modest gentleman and is not so presumptuous even in bed.
Therefore, Mu Xue always felt that being with Qi Luohan was not as exciting as being with Qin Hao, but in terms of a sense of security, only Qi Luohan could give him that.
Qin Hao was a fickle man. Two years later, his promise had become a bubble. Mu Xue looked at Qi Luohan with mixed feelings.
Last night she kept calling Qin Hao's name, and she didn't know if Qi Ruohan heard it. At this moment, Mu Xue suddenly felt a little scared. She didn't know what Qi Ruohan would say to her when he woke up.
She was about to climb out of bed on tiptoe when a hand reached out from her waist and held her in his arms.
"Where are you going so early?"
Mu Xue was already feeling a little guilty, and when he suddenly hugged her, she couldn't help but scream. Qi Luohan frowned, but there was a smile on the corner of his lips.
"This place is different from where we lived before. There are a lot of servants at home. Are you sure you want to keep shouting and cause them to misunderstand?
What will the servants think we are doing with the door closed so early in the morning?"
After hearing what Qi Luohan said, Mu Xue immediately covered her lips with her hand, but before her hand touched her lips, Qi Luohan turned over and pressed her under him and sealed her lips with a kiss.
The intensity of last night immediately entered Mu Xue's mind. Qi Luohan's kiss became more ferocious, and Mu Xue wanted to push him away. But even though Qi Luohan had come six times yesterday, his strength was still astonishing.
Mu Xue couldn't push him away at all. Qi Luohan leaned close to the soft flesh next to her ear and whispered softly.
How was yesterday? You were really great, you know that? I've never seen you like that before."
Mu Xue knew what he was talking about and deliberately ignored him.
The two of them stayed in bed for a while. Mu Xue suddenly remembered that she had important things to do today, so she immediately sat up and pushed him away.
Qi Luohan was caught off guard and almost rolled off the bed. Mu Xue was also shocked by her sudden force.
"Mu Xue, if we hadn't been together for so long, I would have believed that you didn't have anyone else. I would have thought that the force you used just now was an attempt to murder my future husband."
Qi Luohan couldn't help but shudder, but fortunately Qi Luohan hadn't noticed his abnormality yet. He was only concerned with carrying her into the bathroom.
"I have to go back to work today. It's less boring here than where we lived before. You can take a walk in the yard, and if you want to go shopping, you can ask the driver to drive you. There are eight cars in the garage, so you can use any one you want."
Mu Xue looked at him.
"Well, I really need to go out today."
She wasn't going to hide it anymore.
Qi Luohan looked at her with a tearful look in his eyes. He was still recalling the results of their six rounds of battle last night. In his eyes, Mu Xue became even more beautiful.
Maybe sometimes letting a woman drink some wine would add interest, as long as it wasn't too much, and he only liked Mu Xue to show her beauty to him alone.
"We went shopping yesterday. If you want to go somewhere else today, I can go with you if it's convenient."
Mu Xue immediately refused.
"No, I need to go back to the Mu family."
Qi Luohan looked at Mu Xue in confusion. Was she planning to confront him this time?
Didn't they say they had a bad relationship with the Mu family? They said they had escaped from there, so why were they suddenly going back?
Qi Luohan looked at her: "You just escaped from the Mu family. If you go back now, won't you be walking into a trap?"
I don't know how Mu Guoyan treated his daughter, but from Mu Xue's words, it should be confirmed that she was abused since she was a child, otherwise she wouldn't be so scared when she saw the servants.
Mu Xue hummed lightly: "I have to go back for something, and it's time for me to make a break with the Mu family."
She wanted to find Mu Guoyan and Li Tiantian and ask them clearly.
She has been in love with Qin Hao for so many years. There is no reason for Li Tiantian to snatch Qin Hao away from her in just two years. If she doesn't go, Li Tiantian and Qin Hao will get married next week.
She believed that Qin Hao would never forget her. As long as she showed up, Qin Hao would immediately abandon Li Tiantian and return to her. At that time, he could directly confess to Qi Luohan that she had a boyfriend.
"How do you want to end it? Go back and tell Mu Guoyan to sever ties with him? If he really intends to imprison you, you'll only be courting death if you go back.
I'm very worried about you. At least I'll accompany you to see that Mu Guoyan doesn't dare to do anything to you for the sake of the Qi family. I'm really worried about you going alone.
If he locked you up and refused to admit it, I wouldn't be able to rescue you even if I wanted to. Do you understand? You and I have nothing to do with each other, but you and Mu Guoyan are father and daughter.
I have no reason to take you away from him. Unless you go and get a marriage certificate with me now, then I can rescue you no matter what danger you encounter.
Mu Xue looked at Qi Luohan. For the first time, she seriously thought that if she hadn't met Qin Hao before, and had come into contact with Qi Luohan first, she might have really fallen in love with him.
But it’s no use. If I get the marriage certificate with Qi Luohan, how can I marry Qin Hao?
She went back this time just to prove that Qin Hao still loved her. Qin Hao was just bewitched by Li Tiantian for a while. Maybe Qin Hao thought she was dead, so he decided to accept Li Tiantian.
She couldn't let Qi Luohan be exposed in front of his family, otherwise he wouldn't be able to complete Mu Guoyan's mission. As long as she could win back Qin Hao, the mission could continue.
If Qin Hao really married Li Tiantian, then the agreement between her and Mu Guoyan would be invalid, and she would be free to leave the Mu family no matter what.
Mu Xue had made up her mind. Naturally, she wouldn't let Qi Luohan interfere in her private affairs.
"My father and I haven't completely fallen out yet. I believe he has been looking for me for the past two years. He should be very happy when I return. Don't worry, it's not as serious as you think."
Qi Luohan looked at Mu Xue and inexplicably didn't believe what she said. He always felt like she was lying to him, but he couldn't find any real evidence.
Mu Xue must have gained something from lying to him about her relationship with the Mu family. He really couldn't think of what she could get from him, because he had given her everything he could, even marriage, but Mu Xue just didn't want it.
Mu Xue gently held Qi Luohan's face to comfort him.
"Don't worry anymore. It's unnecessary to worry. I'll be fine. Just wait for my news."
Remember, don't go to the Mu family to look for me. If you go, you will never see me again."
In this relationship, Mu Xue has a firm control over Qi Luohan. Qi Luohan dares not disobey anything Mu Xue says, or perhaps he does not want to go against her wishes because he loves her.
Seeing the determined look in his eyes, Qi Luohan could only compromise and whispered "Okay," with a hint of dejection in his words.
Mu Xue didn't have the heart to explain to Qi Luohan anymore. She just wanted to see Qin Hao as soon as possible and tell him that she was not dead, that she was still alive, and that she was back. She wanted him to fulfill his promise and marry her. As for Li Tiantian and the others, it was just a mistake.
She thought that as long as Qin Hao was willing to admit his mistake in front of her, he would definitely forgive him. She felt very sorry for Qi Luohan. As for Mu Guoyan, she didn't need to pay any attention to him at all, because Mu Guoyan had violated the agreement between them.
He promised her that after she completed the mission, others would urge her to marry Qin Hao. In the Mu family, Mu Xue only trusted her mother, and what Mrs. Mu said to her must be right.
She wanted to set things right. Since Mu Guoyan had broken his promise to her, she could terminate the original agreement between the two of them.
Qi Luohan and Mu Xue took another bath together. When Mu Xue came out, her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand up.
It was terrible. I shouldn't have indulged so much last night. And I definitely shouldn't have drunk that damn wine. Qi Luohan had the servants bring breakfast to the room, and the two of them ate right away while sitting on the bed.
Perhaps Qi Luohan was in a good mood. He kept teasing Mu Xue and fed her breakfast.
Mu Xue looked at Qi Luohan and for some reason she felt reluctant to let him go, but she quickly regained her composure.
What on earth was she thinking? To her, Qi Luohan was just a chess piece. How could she fall in love with a chess piece?
After being around Mu Guoyan for so many years, she had already learned his ruthless and cruel nature.
She would never let go of Qin Hao. This man was her first love. As long as she married into the Qin family, she would also have a place in the Mu family, and her mother would no longer be bullied.
Now that Mu Wu can no longer be contacted, the Mu family can only rely on herself.
"Okay, I have to go to work. You insisted on not letting me accompany you. Be careful. I will send two more bodyguards to you."
Mu Xue didn't refuse again. She knew Qi Luohan's bodyguards were very capable. With them by her side, she believed Mu Guoyan wouldn't dare to do anything reckless. She just wanted to ask Mu Guoyan for an explanation. This was what he had promised her.
Qi Luohan held Mu Xue's hand reluctantly until he got in the car and watched Mu Xue disappear from his sight. Mu Xue changed into her favorite dress, picked out a red Ferrari and went out.
