Looking at the others, they were all dumbfounded. No one would have thought that the quiet and well-behaved Mu Lingfeng would be able to do such a shocking thing. Other than Mu Lingfeng, who seemed to be in a good mood, Lin Wen Cheng's dark eyes were filled with pain.

In the face of Mu Xiyan's insults, Mu Ran did not mind. She put away her phone, stood up, and bowed slightly.

"My apologies, but I'm full. You guys take your time and eat!"

After that, he ignored everyone's pale and pale complexions and turned to leave.

Sometimes, if a person was in pain, one wouldn't necessarily have to hit them until they had to curse at them to make them sound bad. This sort of calm and collected response was more profound than any physical pain.

When Mu Ran returned to his dorm from the Mu family's residence, he saw his three roommates staring at her as if they had seen a ghost. It was likely that they had already seen the piece of news that shook the entire city.

She threw her sore body on to Lo Xin Tong's bed and weakly said,

"Why are you all looking at me?"

She was really tired, and her body felt like it was about to fall apart. Could it be that after staying with that man for an entire night, the aftereffects would be so painful?

Weiwei was naturally lively. She pounced forward and sized her up.

"Xiao Yan, you want to get married? Or is it that handsome and graceful Gu Ergong from Gu Mo City? "

"Puff …"

She rolled her eyes at Weiwei and said nonchalantly,

"Weiwei, go wash up and sleep. Stop dreaming in the middle of the day!"

Nan also expressed his doubts.

"But a bride is also called Mu Ran [1], how can there be such a coincidence in this world!"

She sighed.

"Maybe it's just another name, I don't have that kind of fate!"

Of the people around, only Luo Xintong knew that her real identity was the Mu family's Fourth Miss. She told everyone that she came from an orphanage, so Weiwei and A Nan both thought that the orphanage's Uncle Heng was her only family.

Moreover, the Mu family's Fourth Miss had never appeared in public. In the end, Weiwei and A Nan both believed her words and no longer doubted her identity.

It was Lo Shintong who got up from the computer and walked over to her and said,

"Xiao Yan, come with me to buy a bottle of water!"

She said nothing as she followed him out the door.

It was still a quiet playground. This place was about to become her and Luo Xintong's personal land.

It had been their habit since high school to talk in the open playground at night.

He always felt that if he told his thoughts to his friends, or to the night, his scarred heart would be comforted.

"Xiao Yan, that person is you, right?"

Sitting on the tall steps, Luo Xintong asked indifferently as he took a drag from his cigarette.

"En!"

Her fingertips were also bright fireworks. She had never felt that it was bad for a girl to smoke. Sometimes, there was too much on her mind, so she had to find a way to relieve herself. Otherwise, she really didn't know how to continue.

Luo Xintong's heart ached for her.

"Xiao Yan, didn't you disguise yourself all these years just to escape from this kind of marriage based on benefits?"

"Luo …"

With a flick of her hand, the ashes from the cigarette fell to the ground.

"This time, I reap what I sow …"

She told him about the events that had transpired from time to time. In the time it took for a cigarette to burn, she had finished her story, and Luo Hingtong had also fallen silent. The two of them sat in silence under the starry night sky.

The next afternoon, she suddenly received a call from that man. His voice sounded a bit amused, but it made her feel very uncomfortable. She didn't know him that well. Was there a need for him to be so intimate with her?

And he said,

"I went to the Mu family to discuss the wedding today. I think you should be there?"

She took several deep breaths to keep her voice calm.

"I will go!"

The Mu family was in an ancient and luxurious living room. It was still the same people as before. The Mu family members were all gathered here, but without the female protagonist. At this moment, she should be on her way back to the Mu family.

Gu Mo Cheng was dressed in a dark purple shirt with an exquisite silver dragon shaped embroidery at his collar and cuffs. It matched well with his robust figure and gave him a noble and estranged appearance, bringing the sexy city man's image to the extreme.

He took out a cheque from his bosom and placed it on the bright tea table. His slightly curved starry eyes hid the hidden sharpness in the depths of his eyes.

"Elder Mu, this is fifty million yuan as a betrothal gift for me to marry the Fourth Miss!"

Fifty million was not much, just enough to make up for the huge sum of money the Mu Clan had recently lost. When Mu Yunhai saw the amount of the cheque, his eyes lit up and he quickly reached out to take the cheque.

Mu Lingfeng glared fiercely at him. Only then did he withdraw his hand, as Gu Mo City's cold voice sounded.

"What's wrong? Elder Mu? "

he asked calmly.

"Too little?"

"No, no!"

How could he not have enough? How could he be happy? With this fifty million Mu Clan's money, he would be able to live again.

But... Looking at Mu Lingfeng, who was winking at him, Mu Yunhai said awkwardly.

"That Second Young Master …" If... If you want to marry Xiao Yan because of those photos, we have a way to make her delete it! "

"Photos? What picture? "

Gu Mo Cheng's shrewd eyes slightly narrowed, and his thin face showed slight surprise. However, in the next second, he immediately said with a faint smile,

"Oh, that, that was also with my consent!"

He was smiling like he doted on her, but he was clenching his teeth in secret. This damned woman was actually scheming under his sharp eyes?
