Mu Yazhe replied, "She's my woman and I'm her man. Second uncle needs not meddle in our matters!"

The older man was flabbergasted with his firm and inviolable response.

He did not want anyone meddling in his private affairs!

His nephew's words enraged him further that anger welled up in his chest. "I don't care about what you think, but this matter isn't for you to decide alone! Yazhe, this is so unlike you! Second uncle here has great expectations for you! You shouldn't give up the Mu empire just for that so-called love! I think you're getting befuddled! Where did your wits go? What magical power does that woman have over you that you will do this thing for her sake?! Do you know what this means?! It means that our efforts all these years will go to waste and be enjoyed by someone else! I didn't push you up to be the next family head just for you to hand over the Mu Group foolishly! I can tell that that woman is a femme fatale; I'm ordering you to make a clean break with her! Don't risk your future for a mere woman; you'll bound to regret it in the future!"

Youyou's face turned frosty at once, but the moment he opened his mouth, his father held his shoulder.

He expressionlessly answered, "Second uncle, don't worry; I know what I'm doing!"

"You know what you're doing?"

Mu Linfeng burst into laughter.

"What do you intend to do? Annihilate all my hard work? Give away the Mu empire for an indecent woman? From what I see, you're just pushing me to my death!"

"I don't dare to do so." In a respectful tone, his nephew said, "Second uncle, your words are overly harsh!"

The older man sneered. "He he! Don't dare? What don't you dare to do?! I think you have the very guts! Don't you know what the consequences of your action will be?! The Mu family is the core of this country's economy; it's the heart, and every branch is connected to its arteries. Even if it isn't me, the high-ranking officials of the country won't sit back and watch! You've been blinded. Where did your wits go? Some relationships are dangerous to you, so you shouldn't hesitate to break such! With me around, I won't allow you to fool around!"

Mu Yazhe's face instantly cooled.

His icy look did not escape his uncle's eyes, though.

A flicker of irritation coursed through him.

"What's with that look?"

"Nothing!"

His nephew coldly stated, "Second uncle, since when do we think alike that love is only a game?"

He used to be indifferent to relationships.

He did not believe that there would be true love in this world besides power and wealth!

Did true love really exist?

Women were nothing to him.

He was so cold that there was once a rumor saying that he had issues with his sexual performance!

Ha ha!

That was until Yun Shishi's appearance, however.

She taught him how to love a person with all his heart!
