C61

She grabbed her bag and rushed out without looking back. What she needed to do now was to hurry and buy medicine. Last night, he had been like that, and now that she was in danger, there was no way to protect herself.

She had long since disappeared without a trace.

It was still too early when he returned to his apartment. She dragged her tired body to boil some porridge for him before taking the pill. Her hands were shaking when she ate it. It wasn't because she didn't know the harm it would do to her body, but she didn't have a choice, did she?

Last night, her head hurt from not sleeping well, so she decided to just lie down on the bed, wanting to sleep. After tossing and turning for a long time, she was still unable to sleep.

After being slapped by her last night, with his personality, it was very likely that he would refuse her call. If that were the case, what would she do? The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He could only uneasily continue dialing.

At first, no one answered the call, but later on, she was simply hung up. Her heart sank to the bottom, and tears uncontrollably welled up in her eyes. If her momentary willfulness caused her two fresh lives to disappear from this world, she would never feel at ease in her life.

Because she was too immersed in her own sorrow, she did not even notice that the other end of the call had been connected. Only when that person's ice-cold voice reached her did she come back to her senses.

"What is it?"

Her tears of joy flowed even more fiercely. She carelessly wiped away the tears on her face as she tried to make her voice sound calm and humble.

"Mr. Gu, I'm very sorry about what happened last night. I'm the one who was impolite, it doesn't matter if you slap me back. Can you please not cancel the agreement of seven hundred thousand yuan?"

In one breath, she said everything she had thought of long ago. There was a thick, tearful voice in her voice, as well as a humble begging voice.

The other end of the phone was dead silent, so quiet that she could only hear her own heart thumping more and more chaotically.

This suffocating silence seemed to last for a century. Just when she felt like she was about to faint from the thin air, his voice came from nowhere.

"You're crying?"

She held onto her phone in shock, not knowing how to answer. She didn't know why he would suddenly ask such a sudden question. He asked again.

"Did you cry?"

She could only reply in a muffled voice,

"Mm …"

As she finished speaking, she couldn't help but shudder. She had never been so honest with someone about her vulnerability before.

His voice had softened a little. She could hear the sound of a lighter ringing in his ear. It sounded like he had lit a cigarette. She could imagine his cold face and piercing eyes surrounded by smoke.

"How do you want to save it?" he asked.

"I, I don't know …"

she answered honestly. She really didn't know how she was going to get it back. She had nothing but her own body, and now she wasn't sure if he would still be interested in her after last night.

There was another stifling silence, about the time a cigarette burned out.

"Miss Mu seems to be able to dance?"

He asked so naturally, so casually, so casually. The hand she was holding the phone with trembled a little, but she still muttered in the end,

"Yes …"

He seemed to smile, but his words were like a sharp sword that pierced her heart.

"How about this, if Miss Mu dances for me, then the grudge from last night will be written off?"

Although he ended up with a question, his tone did not allow her to refuse. She instantly fell silent.

She knew how to dance, and she danced very well. Her mother was a famous dancer, but she was a dancer in a singing hall. When her mother died, she told her not to dance in front of a man, because … If it was too beautiful, it would cause too much trouble.

She had jumped to Lin Wen City and Uncle Heng to see her since she was born. She jumped to Lin Wen City because at that time, she thought that he would be the person she could rely on for the rest of her life, so she showed him her beauty without being stingy.

He wanted to show it to Uncle Heng in order to fulfill his infatuation towards her mother back then, and Uncle Heng also taught her his art without reservation because of the dance she gave him, so she could use her dance to exchange for Uncle Heng's medical skills.

Seeing that she had not made a sound for a long time, his voice suddenly became filled with chilliness.

"What is it? "You don't want to?"

She opened her mouth, her pale lips quivering, but no matter what, she could not utter a single word. Her continued silence caused him to faintly mock her.

"Since you are so unwilling, why do you have to be so submissive?"

Just as he was about to hang up …

"I promise!"

It was as if she had used up all her energy to say these three words. Her small body slumped against the headboard of the bed.

"Well, at eight o'clock tonight, I'm away from an appointment!"

He was going to hang up again.

"Gu Mo City —"

She suddenly called out to him, her voice tinged with a hint of grief.

His hand was shaking so badly that he almost couldn't hold his phone. He said that he had an appointment with a guest. Could it be that he wanted her to show it to so many people on such an occasion? She thought she could only show it to him and then find a quiet place to rest …

"You want me to jump in front of so many people?"

she asked with the last glimmer of hope.

"It's just a dance, what's so awkward about that!"

He hung up the phone coldly and her tears began to flow again. She hugged herself tightly and curled into the bed.

All that rang in her ears were the stories Uncle Heng had told her about her mother. Her mother was extremely beautiful and had a body full of dance skills, but because of her family's decline, she had no choice but to fall to the music hall and dance.

Uncle Heng said that the dance was really beautiful. It was as elegant as a fairy and as graceful as a breeze. It was also extremely beautiful.

Uncle Heng's eyes were filled with infatuation and admiration as he said these words, as if he was recalling the beautiful scenes and the heartbeats.

But because in a place as vulgar as the concert hall, there was always a guest who forced her to dance the flamboyant dance of extremely exposed clothing, she was unwilling but had to yield for her livelihood, and was humiliated to the point that she defiled the dance.

At that time, her mother had done the same thing to Mu Yunhai before being forcefully married off to lose her lover. This was also the reason why her mother wouldn't allow her to dance in front of a man before she died.

And now he was asking her to dance, and to show it to a group of men, and on occasions like the bar, and was it possible that the shame of her mother's past would be repeated in her today?

But this was her only chance, wasn't it? If he missed today, he would definitely not give her another chance to save him! This man had always been ruthless, merciless to the point where it made one's blood boil.

Eight o'clock in the evening, a drunk "Li". This was a bar from the Dragon Gate Young Master Manor, where all the rich and powerful young masters, merchants, and children gathered.

In front of the golden VIP box, a slender woman with long white hair knocked on the door and walked in. The noisy room immediately became silent. Everyone stared at the person in front of them with undisguised astonishment.

She was dressed in elegant white clothes, with tight black leather pants and black dancing shoes. Her black hair was flowing down her shoulders like a waterfall, like a classical beauty who had walked out of a painting made of ink.

Some kind people murmured a reminder,

"Miss, are you in the wrong place?"

Mu Ran Ran mustered up his courage and stepped into the private room. He was met with the stares of the crowd. The man's eyes were filled with admiration while the women in his embrace were filled with jealousy and anger.

She was somewhat uneasy as she searched the crowd for that person's face. He was so outstanding that she was able to see him at first glance. He was sitting in the middle of a group with his long legs crossed and a cup of wine flickering with an intoxicating light in his hand.

"He's here!"

He glanced at her for a moment, then ignored her and continued chatting and drinking with the people around him.

She stood there, feeling a little awkward, not knowing what to do. When a man with a pair of vulgar eyes came up to her, she bit her lips to prevent her disgust from showing.

After an unknown period of time, his cold voice sounded again.

"Let's start with a song!"
