Lin Xihe returned to her room and paced back and forth, feeling uneasy.
She knew in her heart that if she stayed here for another ten days, Gu Qinghuai would suffer for another ten days.
But right now, Mu Ruoyan is completely ignoring me. What should I do?
Lin Xihe thought it over and over, but in the end she couldn't hold back. She really couldn't accept waiting for ten days; she had to find a way to calm Mu Ruoyan down and change her mind.
Lin Xihe stood in front of Mu Ruoyan's door, took a deep breath, and raised her hand to knock on the door.
The room was completely silent; there was no response.
Lin Xihe didn't give up and kept knocking for a while longer. Finally, Mu Ruoyan's slightly impatient voice came from inside the house: "Who is it?"
"Lin Xihe," Lin Xihe quickly replied.
But after that, there was no more sound from inside. Lin Xihe gritted her teeth and continued knocking on the door.
After a long while, the door was finally opened from the inside.
Mu Ruoyan's hair was wet, and she was wearing loose-fitting clothes, clearly having just taken a bath.
"You're so annoying." Mu Ruoyan frowned, her face full of disgust.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xihe realized that Mu Ruoyan was taking a bath, and immediately panicked: "I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were taking a bath. I'll come back later."
Just as Lin Xihe was about to turn and leave, Mu Ruoyan suddenly said, "If you want to talk, come in now. I'm going to sleep soon." After saying that, she opened the door wide and turned to walk back.
Lin Xihe had no choice but to bite the bullet and go into the room, but she didn't dare to close the door.
Mu Ruoyan sat lazily on the edge of the bed, holding a bath towel in her hand, slowly drying her wet hair, never once glancing at Lin Xihe who was standing awkwardly to the side.
“Young Master Mu, it was indeed wrong of me to drug you today. I know you are still angry. Please tell me what you want to say. As long as it is within my power, I will do anything for you. Please don’t delay your trip to Nanzhao.” Lin Xihe asked earnestly, her voice full of pleading.
"You? What can you possibly do in your current state?" Mu Ruo's tone was contemptuous, her words piercing Lin Xihe like needles.
"Are you still angry that I slapped you? If so, hit me back, and I promise I'll let you slap me twice without fighting back."
"I don't hit women," Mu Ruoyan replied coldly, raising an eyebrow.
Lin Xihe thought to herself, "The one who hit me on the head with the car door earlier, could he be your half-brother?"
But he still dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face.
"So what do you want me to do to calm down? I really know I was wrong, and I will never dare to drug you again. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."
"There's no room for negotiation." Mu Ruoyan's attitude was firm and unmoved.
"Please, let's talk about it again," Lin Xihe pleaded desperately, still unwilling to give up.
"I've never seen anyone beg like you before." Mu Ruoyan's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xihe steeled her resolve and knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Please, Young Master Mu, let's discuss this."
Her voice was full of helplessness.
"There's no room for negotiation." Mu Ruoyan repeated the same words, as if she was determined to make Lin Xihe give up.
Lin Xihe was so angry that she really wanted to rush up and slap Mu Ruoyan again, but reason told her that if she really did that, she probably wouldn't be able to leave for a month.
She suppressed her anger and did not get up, but continued to kneel on the ground.
By this time, Mu Ruoyan had dried the moisture from his hair. He got up, put the towel on the rack, and then walked to the door, slamming it shut.
Only after hearing the crisp sound of the door closing did Lin Xihe turn around abruptly, her face filled with astonishment: "Why...why did you close the door?"
"Go to sleep," Mu Ruoyan uttered simply.
"I'm leaving right away."
After saying that, she hurriedly got up and tried to rush out the door.
Mu Ruoyan blocked the doorway: "Aren't you going to talk?"
"Is there any point in talking about it...?"
"You will serve me for one night." Mu Ruoyan looked intently at Lin Xihe and stated her condition.
