The scarf was finally finished, Su Wanbai quietly placed her under the pillow. But she had only gone for a short walk, and when she came back, the scarf was gone.
Su Wanbai practically asked every servant about it, and they all said that they didn't see anything.
As he was sitting on the bed in a daze, Jin Yihan opened the door and entered with a blissful smile on his face.
"You took my scarf?" Su Wanbai's face darkened as he asked coldly.
"I'm sorry, I took your things without your permission. I just sent a colorful letter to Murong Aotian, showing him the scarf you personally knitted for me. A pleased look flashed across Jin Yihan's eyes.
Su Wanbai turned to look out the window, too lazy to look at him.
Jin Yihan walked a few steps forward, and stooped down to caress Su Wanbai's hair: "He actually called, and asked me to give him the scarf! The dignified CEO of the Murong Group is actually so childish! "
Su Wanbai lowered her eyes, her expression suddenly lonely and sorrowful.
On the surface, Murong Aotian was as tough as iron, but deep in his bones, he was a weak child. He longed for love, but in the wrong way, it was repulsive. As time passed, the pain and unhappiness had actually been gradually forgotten, and even his memories of him had become a bit brighter. If he didn't have that kind of personality, he would probably be a good date. If he changed his personality, maybe she wouldn't run away. When they were together, they had to go through some teamwork. She had always believed that love could change everything. Only, in this life, he didn't know if he would still have the chance to continue the fates with Murong Aotian.
It was only a scarf, how could Murong Aotian mind it so much?
In the evening, he got drunk again and curled up on the study couch and slept soundly.
Only in his dreams could she meet Su Wanbai. The faint smile on his lips was something he had never revealed in front of anyone before. It belonged to Su Wanbai, the woman who people loved and hated at the same time.
In the morning, Hu Xiaodie gently pushed open the door to the study room and covered Murong Aotian's body with a blanket.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Murong Aotian suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes. The rapidly rising hope turned into intense disappointment when he saw the woman in front of him clearly. He flung Hu Xiaodie's hand away, along with the blanket on her body. This kind of warmth was something that only Su Wanbai had the qualifications to give him. If it was any other woman, he would not care about it.
"Ao Tian, why are you making things so difficult for yourself? She's about to get married to Jin Yihan." Hu Xiaodie stood there motionlessly as she whispered to herself.
"She is my woman at any time, my only woman!" Murong Aotian suddenly extended his hand and grabbed Hu Xiaodie's neck.
Regarding Murong Aotian's sudden action, Hu Xiaodie simply did not have time to react. Her face instantly flushed red and she subconsciously struggled with all her might, unable to speak. If not for the fact that Housekeeper Li heard the commotion and rushed over, Hu Xiaodie would have died in Murong Aotian's hands long ago.
Hu Xiaodie ran out the door while crying, but coincidentally, she bumped into Old Master Murong's butler.
"Uncle, you're here!" Hu Xiaodie asked with teary eyes.
"A quarrel?" Old Master Murong asked.
"We... "Howl …" Hu Xiaodie did not know where to start, so she went around Old Master Murong and ran downstairs.
A pungent smell of alcohol wafted out from the study room. Old Master Murong frowned: "Ao Tian, make a trip downstairs!"
A few days ago, Hu Xiaodie called Fang Wenlan to complain, saying that Murong Aotian had never once ignored her, that she had never been to the hospital, either. As Murong Aotian's stepmother, she naturally could not say anything, so she could only push the question to Old Master Murong.
Initially, Murong Aotian did not agree to this marriage, but after that he reluctantly agreed for the clan's benefit. Forcing a melon to be sweet was a principle that everyone knew. However, the two of them were not married yet, so there was nothing wrong with Murong Aotian's cold attitude. According to the Old Master Murong's intentions, he wanted Hu Xiaodie to stay at his place only after he got married. At that time, he only agreed to live with Murong Aotian because he felt that her anger at Nangong Family was extremely pitiful. It was originally a good opportunity to cultivate relationships, but unfortunately, Murong Aotian didn't even have a place for her in his heart.
Since Hu Xiaodie had brought it up, there was naturally no reason for Old Master Murong to not care.
"Ao Tian, Xiao Die is your fiancee, don't treat her coldly." Murong Aotian leisurely drank a mouthful of tea and said indifferently.
Murong Aotian leaned on the side of the back of the chair, closed his eyes and meditated, as though he did not want to respond.
"She is, after all, the daughter of Nangong Family …" The Old Master Murong continued.
"Tell her if she isn't happy here, then get lost!" Murong Aotian rubbed his temples and said slowly.
"What are you saying? You two are engaged, how can you say such shameful words!" Old Master Murong was so angry that his lips started trembling.
Just then, Hu Xiaodie walked downstairs, she took the tea from the servant and handed it to Murong Aotian.
Murong Aotian raised his hand, the teacup hitting Hu Xiaodie's face, boiling water spewing out, her face immediately turned red.
Ah!" Hu Xiaodie cried out in alarm.
"I let you move here because I pity you. Don't push your luck!" The corner of Murong Aotian's mouth raised into an evil smile. He stood up and left the villa with big strides.
Housekeeper Li carefully opened the car door. "Don't be angry, Young Mistress she …"
Murong Aotian's body trembled, his gaze was like a killing sword that pointed straight at Housekeeper Li. She subconsciously retreated a few steps, his face turning ashen in fear as he stammered, unable to speak.
"I thought, don't let me hear those words again!" Murong Aotian clenched his teeth and said.
Housekeeper Li went around the back of the carriage and got in from the other side. She stared quietly into the rearview mirror. The young master's face was terrifyingly pale. He should really die. He knew that his young master didn't like hearing this, but he still said it out loud. In the eyes of the Young Master, only Su Wanbai was worthy to be his wife. But right now, Su Wanbai was clearly in S City, yet he wanted to see her? This kind of indescribable heartache was something that no outsider could understand. Even if Su Wanbai accepted his love one day, he still wouldn't be able to give her a name.
Young mistress, there will never be another.
Housekeeper Li sighed and looked outside the window.
At this moment, Su Wanbai was sitting in the coffee shop on the left shore, chatting with Su Xiaomi face to face.
Although Su Wanbai did not manage to find the camera, she firmly believed that there was one in the room.
Seeing Su Wanbai sitting in her room in a daze like a fool everyday, Jin Yihan readily agreed to Su Xiaomi's request to take her out shopping.
Actually, the two of them didn't have any enthusiasm towards shopping. They just took a stroll in a few clothing stores in the city center and sat in the coffee shop. There were a lot of bodyguards accompanying them, but most of them were in casual clothes.
Su Wanbai lowered her head and stirred the coffee.
"Sister Wanbai, can you be happier?" Su Xiaomi patted the back of Su Wanbai's hand and made a face especially for her to see.
Su Wanbai gave him face as he smiled, then lowered his head in a daze.
"Young Master Jin has already asked you to marry five times, right?" Su Xiaomi asked.
"Yes." Su Wanbai nodded absent-mindedly.
"Will you agree to his sixth proposal?" Su Xiaomi lowered her voice and said with a mysterious look on her face.
"What do you mean?" Su Wanbai frowned and asked.
"I've thought of a good way for you to get rid of the cicada. On the day of the wedding, I'll dress up as you, and you can take the opportunity to escape." Su Xiaomi's voice became even lower.
"How can we do that? You've made this kind of joke before, it's not funny at all! " Su Wanbai took a sip of the coffee and shook her head helplessly.
If her freedom needed to be established on the basis of the sacrifice of her friends, she would be willing to be imprisoned in Moser Manor for her entire life.
"I'm serious." Su Xiaomi's tone was very firm.
"If I escape, Jin Yihan will definitely not let you go. He is a vicious and sinister person, you will be tortured to death! " Su Wanbai said.
Su Xiaomi looked out of the window, as if she did not agree with what Su Wanbai had said. Jin Yihan had helped her and her brother before. Furthermore, every time they visited the Moser Manor, Jin Yihan would be more respectful and considerate to her. She had always been naive enough to think that even if she helped Su Wanbai to escape, Jin Yihan would still spare her on account of her friendship. However, in the near future, she quickly realized that she was wrong.
The bodyguard walked over and asked Su Wanbai to go back.
Su Wanbai sighed lightly, said goodbye to Su Xiaomi and quickly disappeared from her sight.
His phone rang. Su Xiaomi picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, may I ask if you are Su Xiaomi?" A gentle and beautiful female voice sounded.
"Hello, who is this?" Su Xiaomi asked.
"I am Zhang Li from Murong Group Human Resources Department. We saw your job application online. We have a vacant position in the creative department. I wonder if you will have time to come to the interview at 9 a.m. tomorrow morning. " the man said.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Su Xiaomi's mind stopped for a few seconds, and anxiously answered.
After hanging up, Su Xiaomi jumped up in joy. This was great news for her. Although the scandal had passed, she was suddenly in no mood to return to school. Moreover, her mother's illness needed rest, and her brother was disappointing. She had to shoulder the burden of her family. Her first job was to receive people at the front desk. She was fired by her boss after only a few days of work because her attitude towards her customers was simple and crude. In fact, there was a middle-aged man flirting with her. She had only scolded him out of self-defense. Who would have thought that just after her resume was posted online, there would be a big company like Murong Group that wanted her. She really earned it, and her heart was even more excited than if it were 5 million.
