Chapter 41

Qiao Mu was speechless and her face was completely twisted in shock.

What more could she say? What else could she say?!

Why could this man easily render her speechless with a single sentence regardless of her best lines?!

Growing up in the Qiao family had sharpened Qiao Mu’s tongue. When she was encountering Yu Tingyun and her daughter, she could always gain the upperhand with little effort, especially when Qiao Ya tried to use words to attack her. In the end, Qiao Ya was always the one who suffered, and she was always the one who succeeded!

But, her advantage was completely destroyed by the man before her. This was simply too embarrassing!

As expected, Yu Tingyun and her daughter were not on the same level as this man!

Qiao Mu felt that she was too embarrassed when she choked on her words because of him. She was thinking about speaking up to restore some of her dignity, “Uncle…”

However, Li Yan did not give Qiao Mu a chance to retort. He straightaway carried her onto his lap, and pulled her petite body into his embrace.

He lowered his head to look at her, and her reflection was reflected in his eyes. With his thin lips, he said with a firm voice, “Qiao Mu, it seems like I need to remind you that once you become my woman, you can’t even think about other thoughts! Even if it’s really incest, you still belong to me till the end!”

Qiao Mu was at a loss of words.

Damn it! What a pervert!

Qiao Mu had only called him her uncle just to disarm him, but he was actually taking this seriously!

His woman… When did she become his woman?

The man’s gaze fixed intently on Qiao Mu’s face and it immediately made Qiao Mu nervous. His expression was dead serious. It seemed like he would kill her if she said “no”.

Qiao Mu withdrew herself as she nodded timidly. She did not have the rights to shake her head at all!

Li Yan was very satisfied with her behavior as his finger trailed along the bridge of her nose, “Be good.”

This action…

Qiao Mu felt as if something was tugging on her heartstrings, and it was a feeling that she could not put into words. She almost said “big brother” aloud, but when she noticed the man’s expression, the two words were stuck in her throat.

Qiao Mu was flustered when she climbed out of Li Yan’s embrace. She was well-behaved when she sat aside, and her heart mysteriously sped up.

When she was younger, Li Yan often ran his finger down the bridge of her nose, and she especially liked his touch because he would never treat anyone else the same way.

At that time, although the big brother’s expression was cold, his eyes were so warm and gentle. But the expression of the man before her right now was so cold that all other semblance of warmth had been cast out.

Qiao Mu’s action made Li Yan’s expression turn even colder.

He had only touched her, why was she frightened enough to flee from him now? She was so nervous, as if he would really have her for dinner. Was he really that scary?

Where did that naive, clueless, and socially inept young girl go? Back then, it had been nearly impossible to scare her off — she clung to him like an eel.

Li Yan pursed his lips together. He really did not like to be pushed away by her!

In order to ease her nervousness, Qiao Mu’s gaze shifted to the scenery outside of the car window, but she was shocked by the view.

“Uncle, why did you bring me home?”

The car already drove into the mansion area, and the Qiao family’s mansion was right in front of them.

Li Yan glanced indifferently at Qiao Mu’s nervous expression as he raised his brows, “They won’t kill you, don’t worry.”

Qiao Mu grabbed Li Yan’s hand, “We can’t let them know that we have such a close relationship. Quickly stop the car, I’ll get down from here.”

However, the car was still driving smoothly without listening to Qiao Mu’s instruction at all.

The Qiao family’s entrance was just before her eyes, but the car did not drive in.

Qiao Mu was stunned, and then she saw the car drive into… Li family’s mansion!
