It was already four in the afternoon when Mu Nuanzhou finished helping. Before she left, Mother Fang lost a piece of dry bread for her and didn't eat for a day, so she kept the bread in her pocket and after settling the bill, she thanked Mother Fang before heading back home. Unfortunately, the sky was not fair and it started raining halfway.
Fortunately, her uncles and aunts had all gone out to the party. Since there was no one at home, the servants did not pay any attention to her. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain her battered and exhausted appearance.
She couldn't get sick now, she had to get medicine, she had to go to the hospital, and she was short of money, she couldn't raise any more money.
Recently, Aunt Liu had always been early in the morning and early in the night, acting mysterious. She himself was busy these past two days and had no time to ask questions even if she saw them.
The night was quiet, Mu Nuanzhou's thoughts were in a mess. She was worried about the Aunt Liu, and upon seeing the steam furnace, she couldn't help but tear up as she thought about the people she had seen. She then thought about Mu Pingping's framing earlier in the day.
Hearing sounds coming from outside the door, Mu Nuanzhou who was sitting cross-legged quickly stood up. She did not even bother to put on her shoes.
"Senior …" She walked a few steps and saw who it was. Her flirtatious voice suddenly stopped. She was stunned, but then her expression turned to one of disgust. Why is it you? "
Xiao Zhan was dressed in a well-ironed military uniform, openly standing at the door. His handsome face under the military hat, was as cold as a piece of thousand-year-old jade.
He stood in the drizzling rain, his collar wet from the rain, his ankle-length cloak not crushing his tall stature. Inside, he wore a suit with a white shirt, and a black tie that was meticulously tied two centimeters below his Adam's apple. The black belt outlined his waist, and his long, straight legs were wrapped in military boots.
His deep eyes looked at Mu Nuanzhou in anger.
The heavy robe wrapped around her petite body was empty, as if her whole body weighed less than a piece of clothing. Her freshly washed hair was wet on her neck and shoulders, and her hands were red from the cold.
Her face was only the size of a palm, and her facial features were unforgettable. Her skin was so white that they were unhealthy, and her eyes were so big that they took up almost half of her face. Her eyelashes were longer and thicker than an ordinary Oriental woman, like the wings of a black swan.
Xiao Zhan liked her delicate temperament that was like smoke and fog, it was especially able to arouse the desire of others to protect his, but her current appearance was a little silly, soft and cute that made people's heart ache.
"We don't welcome you here. Please leave. The mama and I will be resting now." Mu Nuanzhou pretended to be someone in the family and seriously glanced inside Aunt Liu's room and then was about to close the door.
"He pushed with his leather-gloved hands, and the two doors were wide open. His intoxicating peach blossom eyes narrowed into a mischievous slit, looking like a cunning fox spirit." "It's so early. Are you sure you want to rest?"
"None of your business." Mu Nuanzhou continued to prepare to close the door.
The man strode across the threshold. Without waiting for Mu Nuanzhou's response, he bent over and carried her in his arms.
"Xiao Zhan, let me go. If you don't, I'll call for help." Mu Nuanzhou exclaimed in his arms, her small hands striking and hitting him.
This was a lone man and a single woman. She had no idea what he was trying to do!
Fortunately, Xiao Zhan had only carried her back to his room and put her down as he grumbled. Can't you eat more? Even the feathers are a bit heavier than you. "
Mu Nuanzhou did not reply. Instead, she watched him take her slippers and squat down in front of her, while her feet, which were hidden under the bathrobe, took a small step back in vigilance. What are you trying to do? "
"AHH!" Her screams rose again.
It turned out that Xiao Zhan had directly grabbed hold of her retreating ankle and ruthlessly helped her put on her slippers. With his great strength and speed, she could only instinctively hold onto the man's broad and powerful shoulders to prevent his center of gravity from falling to the ground.
When Xiao Zhan stood up, Mu Nuanzhou was still trying to wrap his hands around his neck in shock. She nervously dug a hole in the bread in her hand and bread crumbs fell onto his shoulders.
"Ha ha!" The person on top of her head let out a light laugh, she raised her head, and saw Xiao Zhan's smelly face, full of ridicule and mockery. The corner of her lips hooked up into a charming smile, as though she had returned to being a yuppie.
His frivolous laughter burst from his Adam's apple and lashed out at her like a baton.
They were too close and their movements were unclear. She could clearly feel the white mist he spat out. It tickled her cheeks and then dispersed.
Mu Nuanzhou immediately dropped her arms as if she had just awoken from a dream, and wished she could jump ten meters away. She stared at him in embarrassment, and her face flushed red as she pointed towards the door, chasing him away. " You, you, get out! "You are not allowed to be presumptuous in my house."
However, her soft and tender words, filled with strength and fear, did not have any effect of deterrence. Xiao Zhan even wanted to laugh a little.
Not only did he not leave, he even shamelessly looked around with his hands behind his back like an old official. He disdainfully said, "Your room is as cold as an icehouse, are you relying on this broken steam furnace for warmth?"
He extended his leg and kicked the steam furnace.
This kick was not aimed at the steam furnace, but at her heart's flesh and blood.
This was the steam furnace Big Brother Ye Ming had bought for her to keep warm, how could he treat her so rudely?
Mu Nuanzhou was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and jumped in front of him in anger. "You're such a strange person. You come in the middle of the night uninvited, yet you act so selfishly when you enter the door. What exactly do you want to do?"
"Xiao Zhan mocked and ridiculed her as he watched her lose her temper. You got angry at me so smoothly, why did you become so terrified whenever you meet Xiao Waner? Furthermore, you were forced to kneel down. Mu Nuanzhou, did the dog eat your backbone in front of me? "
