A cold smile crept across Mu Ruoyan's lips, her heart filled with unbearable bitterness.
Lin Xihe's words were like a thorn, piercing his heart. He had only asked Ji Zhuo to kneel before him, so why couldn't Ji Zhuo kneel?
The two of them can be so affectionate in front of him. He was just angry and wanted to make things difficult for Ji Zhuo, yet she's protecting him like this?!
Mu Ruoyan gritted her teeth, suppressing the urge to kill Ji Zhuo. He wouldn't be defeated so easily, and she would eventually be his.
Just when Lin Xihe thought she had finally gotten her revenge, the sharp look on Mu Ruoyan's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a meaningful smile.
"Brother, the women of your Great Hao are truly fascinating."
Mu Ruo spoke in a flippant tone, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Xihe without any attempt to hide it. She even openly showed her appreciation for her in front of Xiao Yugan and Ji Zhuo: "She's so interesting, I'm almost reluctant to go back."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yugan immediately replied, "If my worthy brother takes a liking to anyone, I would naturally be happy to forge a bond with the Northern Border. The women of my Great Hao are all talented and versatile; why not let the ladies of each family showcase their skills today?"

"Okay, let's take a look!" Mu Ruoyan replied with a smile, but her gaze seemed to sweep over Lin Xihe again.
Lin Xihe, however, panicked.
She was certain that Mu Ruoyan wouldn't do anything to her in such a situation, since he had someone more important in his heart, and he would probably pretend not to know her in order to appease that person.
But now, his attitude made her feel uneasy, as if things had gone beyond her expectations.
