She didn't seem in the mood to listen to him. Her eyes were fixated on the emerald bracelet floating on the corner of the bookcase.

After a moment of silence, she withdrew her gaze from him and asked nonchalantly.

"If... If I give up my engagement, can you give me that jade bracelet? "

When she said this, her cold eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of bright light.

Mu Yunhai's face showed a hint of annoyance.

"Impudent!" Who would bargain with their own father! "

"This marriage contract isn't something that I can give up just because I said I'd give it up. It's better if you find Second Young Master Gu to talk about it!"

With that, she turned and left.

That bracelet was a relic of her mother.

She would always remember what her slim and beautiful mother had said to her before she died. She had said that she would get the jade bracelet and find her father and reunite with him.

Yes, Mu Yunhai wasn't her father! This matter probably wasn't even known to Mu Yunhai himself.

Her mother had been snatched away by Mu Yunhai in a despicable manner. Before he forcefully took her, she was already pregnant, but the doctor she asked for treatment lied to Mu Yunhai.

Thus, this secret was only known to her, her mother, and that physician back then.

Mu Yunhai didn't treat her well. According to her analysis, she felt that it was because she grew to be more and more like her mother that he avoided her every time he saw her, remembering the sins he had committed.

Ignoring the flustered and exasperated voice of Mu Yunhai behind her, she leisurely walked along the corridor and headed outside. On the first floor's staircase, where she had to go downstairs, two purple figures were tightly hugging and kissing.

She stood at the top of the stairs, holding the handrail of the mahogany staircase, looking down indifferently at the entangled pair. She was already used to scenes like this, but it was just Mu Lingfeng pulling Lin Wen Cheng to show her his love.

She admitted that at the beginning, she was indeed excruciating to the point that she wanted to tear them apart. But after two years, she felt that her heart was already unbreakable.

She walked down the stairs as if nothing had happened, passing by them as if nothing had happened. She did not look at them the whole time, treating them as air.

After she left, Lin Wen Cheng shook off Mu Xi Yan, who was tightly pressed to his body. His handsome face was filled with displeasure.

"Mu Xiyan, enough!"

Just as he was drinking outside, she suddenly dragged him into the house, disregarding everything else. He thought that she had something to say, but he didn't expect her to suddenly hug him tightly and kiss him.

It was only when he saw the white figure at the top of the stairs that he understood what she was trying to do.

Mu Xi Yan smiled as she extended her hand to help him adjust his messy tie.

"Wencheng, I heard you took her for coffee a few days ago?"

The displeasure on Lin Wencheng's face deepened.

"You followed me?"

Mu Xiyan did not deny it and continued to smile.

"How is it? It's nice to have coffee with my sister-in-law, isn't it? Did you get back the feeling you had when you first fell in love? "

"Mu Xiyan, don't do such childish things in the future!"

He gave her a cold stare, straightened his clothes, and left without looking back.

The coldest is not that he doesn't even respond to you with a word, it's that he clearly speaks to you, that he is obviously obedient to you, that he lives with you every day, but is always separated from you by thousands of mountains. No matter how hard you try, you can't enter into his heart.

This was how Lin Wen City treated her, Mu Xi Yan.

After Mu Wenwen walked out of the house, he slowly walked towards the backyard. He had only walked a few steps when he was pulled back by Mu Xiyan, who had come out from who knows where.

"Mu Yichan, you better be smart and give up on Gu Mo City!"

Mu Biao was really shocked by her actions, but she quickly regained her composure and pulled out the wrist that she was grabbing. Her smile was bright and harmless.

"Third sister, you've got to get what you want yourself. You're ruthlessly forcing me to quit, aren't you being too rude?"

What Mu Xi Yan hated the most was her current look. She had a very innocent and indifferent expression, yet her mouth was still filled with infuriating words.

"Mu Ran Ran, you slut!"

Mu Xi Yan was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She raised her palm and was about to swing it at her again, but she did not dodge. She was still calmly staring at her, but a trace of viciousness gradually appeared in her eyes.

Suddenly, Mu Xi Yan's raised palm was pulled back by a large hand, and a deep and enchanting voice sounded.

"Third Miss, it's such a pity to use such beautiful fingers to hit someone!"

The man took her fingers and rubbed them vaguely.

Mu Xiyan turned around in shock and anger, her delicate makeup turned green and red.

"Second Young Master, what are you talking about? I don't want to hit anyone. I just want to tidy up my hair, hehe … "

She spoke in a very flirtatious manner, her enchanting figure sticking closely to the newcomer.

"Is that so? It's time to tidy up Third Miss' hair! "

Gu Mo Cheng smiled lightly as he held a handful of Mu Xi Yan's hair and brought it to his nose to sniff, but his gaze remained calm and collected as he glanced at the person standing opposite him.

Looking at her calm demeanor, he couldn't help but to gnash his teeth in hatred. After being slapped again and again, didn't she know how to retaliate? Just stand there and be beaten up?
