Mu Yanyu glanced at Chi Chengxuan first before slowly taking her phone out of her bag. After glancing at the caller ID, she immediately relaxed a little.

So it was her Second Uncle, Mu Han Tian, on the phone. She didn't know why he suddenly came to find her, but she felt that there was probably nothing good going on.

"Don't answer the phone?" Seeing her deep in thought while holding the phone, Chi Chengxuan couldn't help but remind her.

Mu Yanfei smiled at him as she returned to her senses, before swiping the button to pick up the call. She then placed the phone next to her ear.

"Fei Fei, I'm Second Uncle."

"Second Uncle, is something the matter?" Mu Yufei's tone was light, without any fluctuations.

Even now, she still remembered how her brother Mu Jinghao had rejected her at the gate when she had gone to ask his family for help after discovering that he had leukemia. At that time, she suddenly understood that kinship was only this much.

"Fei Fei, it's Zhiqing's wedding the day after tomorrow. You must attend." Mu Han Tian's tone was extremely polite.

"I will attend."

It was no big deal since she would not bless them both.

"That's good. Fei Fei must come." Mu Han Tian gave another special reminder.

"En!" Mu Yanyu calmly hung up the phone, not wanting to continue chatting with Mu Hantian.

Chi Chengxuan, who had been concentrating on driving, didn't ask her who called.

After returning to the villa, Chi Chengxuan instructed Sister Cheng to get some ice cubes to help Mu Yanfei cover her face before heading straight to the study room.

While helping Mu Yufei with her face, Madam Cheng could not help but look at her with a pained expression. She could not help but ask, "Miss Mu, who made you look like this?"

Mu Yanfei was about the same age as her daughter, and when she looked at her, it was as if she was looking at her own daughter.

"I accidentally got it." Mu Yanyu found a random reason, but she really didn't want to talk about what Su Manlin had done to her. What she should care about and what she should care about right now was what she could do to protect her uncle and brother from harm?

Mrs. Cheng saw through her difficulties and didn't pursue the matter any further. Instead, she helped her continue to use the ice to cover her face.

In the study.

Chi Chengxuan was listening to his assistant's report about the investigation.

"Boss, Miss Mu went to see Miss Su today. Because of your relationship with her, Miss Su threatened Miss Mu to leave you …"

The assistant reported everything to Chi Chengxuan.

The more he listened, the uglier Chi Chengxuan's expression became.

It turned out to be Su Manlin's doing.

"Send a few bodyguards to protect them."

"It's a Boss. I'll arrange it immediately."

Su Manlin was a difficult problem for Chi Chengxuan. She had begged her father to help her out in the past. But everything he did afterwards had long since paid back the debt of gratitude owed to him by the Su Clan.

When Chi Chengxuan returned to his room, Mu Yanyu had just returned to his room. When she came in contact with his bright gaze, she lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to meet his gaze.

He stretched out his hand and lifted her chin, carefully examining her face. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "It seems like it has been relieved of swelling." Then he released his hand.

Mu Yan Fei raised her hand to cover her face; it really did look a lot better.

"Little uncle, I …"

"You don't need to say anything, I won't force you." He reached for the door and went in first.

Mu Yanyu was startled, was it really Chi Chengxuan who was talking to her just now?

How did he suddenly become so much more amiable?

The image of him in her mind became even more unfathomable.

She'd been worrying about how to explain it to her, and now that he'd said it, she was relieved.

His heart also felt warm because of the warmth from his uncle.

She walked into the room and saw Chi Chengxuan sitting on the sofa. There was a cigarette between the ring finger and the middle finger of his left hand, and he was playing with a lighter in his right hand.

Mu Yanfei walked over to him and took the lighter from his hand, wanting to help him light it.

He looked at her indifferently. He reached out his right hand to grab her hand and pulled her into his embrace with a little more force. She immediately threw herself into his embrace, looking at his eyes that were filled with danger signals in panic.

He pursed his lips and smiled, "Little girl." He held her tightly in his arms.

The grievances she had suffered today, if he hadn't sent his assistant to investigate, it would have been even harder for her to tell him everything.

"Little Uncle, thank you for lending me your medical fees." She sincerely thanked him, but not to curry favor with him. "Little uncle, can I move in with uncle and younger brother for a while?"

"So you're leaving me?" There was a tinge of coldness in his tone. How could he not see what she was planning?

He would help her deal with what she feared.

"Just for a while." She hoped that he would agree to her request.

This was the only solution she could think of.

Su Manlin's vicious behavior forced her to compromise.

She had lost her parents. She could not afford to lose her brother and her uncle.

"How long does it take?" He lifted her face and looked into her clear, untainted eyes.

"I …"

She was going to say it all her life, but she didn't have the courage to say it.

"Just for a while."

She still hadn't been able to give him an exact deadline.

"A week." This was the biggest concession that Chi Chengxuan had made to her, "Not even one more day!"

He didn't give her any chance to bargain either.

One week.

A week from now, a week from now.

At present, she had to take things one step at a time.

"You attend the wedding dress. Someone will bring it to you tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately covered her mouth, not giving her the time to react.

Her awkward reaction made him addicted to it.

His little girl was grown up now, and she belonged entirely to him. This was the most blissful moment of his thirty years of life.

"Fei Fei …" He called her name in a low voice, "Little girl …"

"Little uncle." Ripples appeared in her watery eyes as she gently called out to him.

He pressed his lips to hers again and kissed her carefully, and he felt her slow response.

Throughout the whole night, Mu Yanyu had been cooperating with Chi Chengxuan's request without any resistance.

This was the first time she didn't show any resistance to his intimate actions. Whenever he asked her to pose, she would do it obediently. Her docile appearance made his heart burst with joy …
