Mu Jue's mind went blank, and the fear in her heart couldn't be suppressed. Even though she knew he couldn't crawl out from the phone, she still couldn't help but tremble. All the muscles in her body seemed to be tied up, unable to move. Her throat was also stuck, causing her to be unable to make any sounds. She had never spoken to anyone in all these years, and she thought that after all these years, everything would be over.

However, the scars would still leave scars. Especially those that were too deep, it was too difficult to remove them!

"Little Juehe, you don't even remember me?"

Her lips were pale and trembling, and her face was as white as paper. Seeing her scared, Chu Qi's deep eyes lit up like a cheetah.

"Big brother …"

Mu Jue was silent for a long time as she overcame the trembling in her heart. Only then did she gather her strength and call out.

"I'll be back from America in seven days. Xiao Jue`er, remember that you miss me. These past few years, I have always been yearning for you. To be honest, I really want to see your brave husband. "

Hua Dian's voice was neither fast nor slow, like a gentle breeze. However, the shocked Mu Jue quickly raised her head and looked at Chu Qi, her eyes filled with fear. She did not even need to see Hua Dian to know that he was speaking with a gentle and harmless face. However, only she knew the hidden viciousness and brutality beneath that harmless face! That's right, only she could see his true face!

Looking at Chu Qi, Mu Jue's mouth dropped open, but in the end, she didn't say anything. This was because she didn't know how to answer Hua Dian. Could it be that Chu Qi cared about her in every detail, or was it that he had an invincible ability?

"I really look forward to seeing you again. Goodbye …"

Hua Dian, who was on the other end of the line, hung up. Mu Jue held up his phone in a daze as she listened to the busy tone on the phone.

During the entire conversation, she had only said the word 'big brother'.

Without any warning, the phone slipped onto the bed. Mu Jue stared blankly ahead. The words from Hua Dian were repeated in his mind — I have seven days left to return … Remember to miss me … Goodbye...

Mu Jue felt that her stomach that had just recovered began to hurt from the suicidal pain. It was so painful that she found it difficult to cry. Every cell in her body was devoid of life, and it was cold. She bent her legs and put her arms around herself, so that her whole body was together, and perhaps a little warmer.

After who knows how long, she felt Chu Qi's warm embrace on her, and her body started to warm up.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Chu Qi, you are very powerful, right?" Even the scariest demon cannot defeat you, right? "You said that you wouldn't let your Lady Chu suffer grievances, so I'm now Lady Chu. You won't let me suffer grievances either, right?"

Mu Jue tightly held onto Chu Qi's arm as she asked him nervously. The strength was like a life buoy caught by a person drifting in the sea. Tears flowed down her face as she asked Chu Qi. Those words also struck his heart.

Mu Jue was a strong person. She was very independent, so much so that even if that person came and was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up, she wasn't willing to cause him any inconvenience. How frightened was she now to beg him like this? What kind of man was Mu Jue's elder brother? What kind of shadow did he leave in her heart for her to be so afraid of him?

Chu Qi forcefully held her hand and promised, "Mu Jue, you're my Lady Chu, no matter what, just let me take care of it. You just need to be responsible for your happiness!"
