She stared at him, and in the end she threw off his hand and stormed into the night.

From his point of view, she had run away in anger because of him. However, to Mu Ran, she had run away in desperation.

Inside the silver-gray car, Gu Mo Cheng leaned against his seat as he watched the figure fleeing in panic into the night. His slender fingers subconsciously touched his lips.

He kissed her twice a day, but it made him feel different.

Not just any woman could make him feel that way. This woman he had met twice before had done it.

After escaping from the satanic man, Mu Ran walked around the huge campus that was completely silent.

Whenever she was distracted, she would keep walking until she was exhausted and didn't have the strength to think anymore.

Luo Xingtong often said that she was a masochist. Other people would always find someone to vent their feelings on, or to cry and yell at the same time. However, she would only torment herself and mistreat herself.

She and Luo Xin Tong had been best friends since high school. The other two roommates were from another city, one was called Weiwei, the other was called Nan. They were both very, very cute girls, just her …

There was only one person in the dorm, Luo Xintong. Those two were probably still studying in the study room.

Luo Xintong was holding the computer while watching the gossip on the news. Seeing her return, she casually raised her head and greeted her.

"He's back!"

In the next second, she jumped up from the bed and rushed to her front as if she had seen a ghost.

"Xiao Yan, what happened to your mouth?"

She wiped her mouth and lowered her eyes.

"I'm fine!"

"Ah!" And your neck! "

Luo Xin Tong exclaimed again. She said in a bad mood,

"Cats have caught me!"

"Yo, why do you look so skilled!"

Lo Shintong's smile was full of meaning,

"I told you, if you go out dressed like this today, you'll be in trouble, and now I'm telling you the truth …"

Lo Shinton was still there, talking, while she climbed into her own bed, closed her eyes, and lay still, leaving her mind blank. She fooled herself into thinking that when she woke up, everything would be the same again.

After that night, her life calmed down once more. He did not appear out of nowhere again, and there was no news that he was going to get married.

She thought he had listened to her that night and abandoned the marriage.

Their week passed peacefully like this. On Friday, she received a call from Mu Yunhai, asking her to come home for dinner. She had already found several excuses to reject them. Since she couldn't find a good reason this time, she agreed.

She didn't expect to find the entire Mu residence lit up when she returned in the evening. The corners of her mouth curled up as she entered through the side door as usual. She didn't expect that there would already be a servant waiting there.

"Fourth Miss, Master wants you to go to his study."

She didn't say anything as she followed the servant towards Mu Yunhai's study. The racket in the front yard was just faintly audible, so she asked casually.

"What day is it today?"

"Today is Third Miss' birthday!"

The servant replied respectfully.

She suddenly came to a realization that it was no wonder that it would be so lively. Today was Mu Xi Yan's twenty-fourth birthday.

As she was a celebrity in the entertainment circle, she held an extremely grand birthday banquet at the Mu residence.

Rich merchants, famous celebrities, rich second generation officials, second generation soldiers, important figures in the political world, etc. As long as they were people with a bit of reputation, Mu Lingfeng would invite them for Mu Xiyan.

However, this kind of liveliness had nothing to do with her.

It wasn't that she wasn't qualified to participate, but that she didn't even care to participate.

She did not want her marriage to become a sacrifice for the benefit of her family. What she wanted was a pair for life and for the rest of her life. Even if she didn't want to be rich, she didn't want to be separated from them all the time.

But now, she had been pushed into the pit of fire by herself instead of being pushed into it. Could this be fate?

She had rejected the idea of disguising herself for so many years, but now she was finally about to embark on a road of no return?

Outside Mu Yunhai's study, she took a deep breath as she gathered her thoughts. Then, she knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

With a serious voice, she pushed open the door and entered.

Mu Yunhai was standing by the window in his formal dinner suit with his hands behind his back. After hearing her come in and gave her a good look, he finally spoke with a sincere tone.

"Xiao Yan, you look like you're only 20 years old. You're at the prime of your life. Besides, you haven't graduated from university yet, so how can you get married?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Mu Yunhai understood his meaning, but she didn't say anything and waited for Mu Yunhai to continue.

"Your Third Sis isn't young anymore, and staying in the entertainment circle everyday isn't a long term solution. Second Young Master Gu is such a perfect man, it's really hard to find even if you beat a lantern …"
