The night seemed to go on forever as Mu Sijue’s car sped through the darkness.
Xu Youning wasn’t very familiar with City A. She didn’t know where the road led or where Mu Sijue was taking her, however, she could imagine it.
However, she could imagine it.
If Mu Sijue was true to form, he would probably lock her up.
Of course, he wouldn’t lock her up in a luxuriously decorated villa like he used to and let her have free rein.
What was waiting for her this time was probably a dark and damp underground secret room filled with mosquitoes and insects. She would be lucky if she’d be able to see sunlight.
Xu Youning’s imagination ran wild. Suddenly, she noticed that the car took a turn, and then… they went up a mountain.
She almost jumped out of the passenger’s seat. “Mu Sijue, are you taking me up this mountain?”
“Yep!” Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning and asked, “Do you have a problem with that?”
He looked as if it had nothing to do with him. The more Xu Youning looked at him, the angrier she became.
Xu Youning imagined that if Mu Sijue was a bomb, she would ignite him without hesitation and perish with him!
But right now, she could only curse Mu Sijue silently to herself.
On the mountain? Mu Sijue was really good at choosing places!
If he hid her on the top of the mountain, it would be difficult for Kang Ruicheng to find her. Even if he was accidentally found out by Kang Ruicheng, he could easily take her away and Kang Ruicheng’s efforts would go to waste.
“He is… so f*cking crazy!”
“Don’t worry.” Mu Sijue controlled the steering wheel with ease. “You won’t have to want for anything!”
“Nonsense!” Xu Youning sneered.
If he hid her in the wild mountains, how would she be able to lead a normal life?
Since when did Mu Sijue, who’d always done what ever suited him, start to be such a trickster?
An hour later, the car seemed to have reached the top of the mountain, and Mu Sijue gradually slowed down. With the car’s bright lights, Xu Youning could clearly see the scenery outside.
A magnificent multistoried building stood on the top of the mountain. Beside it, there was a spacious parking lot for vehicles and… a helipad for helicopters.
There were several private helicopters landing on the helipad. Xu Youning was sharp-eyed and at a glance she and recognized one of them as Mu Sijue’s helicopter.
There were various limited edition luxury cars in the parking lot. As they were so luxurious, it was impossible to tell which one was best.
Small detached villas were scattered around nearby. There was also a golf course, a tennis court, and various sports fields.
Xu Youning had seen a lot of things in her life, but this scene on the top of the mountain still shocked her.
If she guessed correctly, this place should be the “Summit Clubhouse” owned by Lu Enterprises. Membership was by invitation only. All of the names on the list would be top celebrities from home and abroad.
Xu Youning had heard from Kang Ruicheng that there was more to this clubhouse than met the eye.
Mu Sijue brought had her here, and what she saw just affirmed what Kang Ruicheng had told her.
However, what Xu Youning cared about most was the fact that she couldn’t escape at all if Mu Sijue hid her here. Moreover, Kang Ruicheng wouldn’t guess that she was hidden here in a million years.
Her heart sank as her future looked grim.
Mu Sijue opened the passenger’s door and unfastened Xu Youning’s seat belt. “Get off!”
Xu Youning got out of the car, and looking around again realised that what she’d seen was only the tip of the iceberg, and that there were many other things here.
“You don’t have to search for anyone!” Mu Sijue said, “Kang Ruicheng will never find you here. Even if he found this place, he has nothing to do with it!”
Xu Youning believed that Mu Sijue wasn’t fooling her.
In addition to that, this place wasn’t just a clubhouse, even if it indeed was a clubhouse. The people who came in and out of it, and the security and defense system here were all very high level. Even if Kang Ruicheng found out that she was here, he wouldn’t be able to bring people here to rescue her.
This time, Mu Sijue was clearly determined not to let her go.
“I’ll be okay… I can still find a way out!”
“Follow me!”
In an indifferent tone, Mu Sijue seemed to be giving orders to his men. By instinct, Xu Youning kept up with his pace.
Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning giving her a satisfied look.
Only then did Xu Youning come to her senses. She looked up at the sky and wondered why she had to be so obedient.
However, if she resisted, Mu Sijue had lots of ways of making her obey.
>”Never mind. Just follow him. A smart girl knows when to concede!”
After a few steps, a gust of cold wind blew. Xu Youning felt very cold and she thought she was probably on the top of the mountain. The cold wind cut through her like a knife.
Xu Youning wasn’t wearing many clothes and she couldn’t help shivering.
Mu Sijue noticed this, and without saying anything, he took off his coat and threw it to Xu Youning.
Xu Youning instinctively caught the coat, and noticed that it smelled of Mu Sijue.
“Is Mu Sijue going to be nice to me?”
Mu Sijue looked back and casually reminded Xu Youning, “There’s still a long way to go.”
Impulsively, Xu Youning blurted out, “Aren’t you cold now that you have no jacket?”
She was more used to Mu Sijue treating her badly.
Mu Sijue stopped and stared at Xu Youning. “Come here!”
His figure looked particularly slim under the light, and his dark eyes were like an unfathomable mystery.
Xu Youning walked over and looked at Mu Sijue. Suddenly, she felt something being removed from her hand. Mu Sijue took the coat from her.
“Sure enough, why would Mu Sijue be so nice to me?!”
Then Mu Sijue gently put his coat on Xu Youning’s shoulders and circled her waist with his arm. “Let’s go!”
Now Xu Youning really didn’t know what was going on. She felt in a daze as Mu Sijue walked her onwards.
The long coat was still warm. Like Mu Sijue, it effectively protected her frozen body from the wind. She could also feel Mu Sijue’s breath which seemed threatening to her.
She felt as if she was being held firmly in his arms.
In fact, right at this moment, she was indeed being held in Mu Sijue’s arms.
Xu Youning couldn’t help turning and eyeing Mu Sijue carefully in the light.
His facial features were as cold as ever, chilling and stern. This is why people didn’t dare to approach him easily.
However, she somehow felt that Mu Sijue seemed to have changed…
Mu Sijue took Xu Youning into a small villa. As soon as he closed the door, he took his hands from her waist and held her shoulders, firmly pressing her against the wall. “Have you seen enough?”
Xu Youning came to her senses and looked away from Mu Sijue’s face, but it seemed to be too late…
His eyes sparkling, Mu Sijue held Xu Youning’s chin and stared straight at her. He detected panic in her eyes.
He frowned and asked, “Xu Youning, what are you worried about?”
“I…”
Xu Youning stammered, unable to come up with an explanation.
Mu Sijue smiled faintly and suddenly kissed Xu Youning’s lips.
He wasn’t gentle at all. He almost pressed down on her, and his teeth collided with Xu Youning’s. Xu Youning felt a pain and protested. He took the opportunity to put his tongue in her mouth aggressively.
Of course, Xu Youning was not willing. She kept pushing Mu Sijue, and her movements were full of resistance.
It seemed that Mu Sijue was deliberately forcing himself on Xu Youning. The more she refused, the more forceful he became. In the end, Xu Youning was defeated and was overwhelmed by his kiss.
Before being with Xu Youning, Mu Sijue hadn’t liked kissing.
To him, people’s mouths were a favourable environment for bacteria. Besides, kissing was like scratching an itchy foot whilst wearing pair of boots. It didn’t work at all.
But when he kissed Xu Youning, Mu Sijue felt that their combined breath and close lips seemed to be declaring their dominance over each other.
Nothing could say that Xu Youning belonged to him more clearly than tasting Xu Youning’s kiss in an aggressive manner.
Mu Sijue grabbed Xu Youning’s hands with one hand and pressed them against the wall above her head. Xu Youning was unable to struggle, and he took in as much of her scent as he could.
Gradually, Xu Youning’s breathing became faster and faster, and her chest rose and fell more sharply as if she would suffocate at any time.
Only then did Mu Sijue release her, appreciating her swollen lips and red cheeks with a sense of satisfaction.
Xu Youning took a deep breath and finally got her breath back.
She glared at Mu Sijue in anger and said, “You tried so hard to get me back just for this?!”
“No matter what my motives are…” Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning and said determinedly, “you can’t escape from me anymore!”
“…”
Xu Youning took off the coat and threw it back to Mu Sijue. Then she pushed him away and went into the living room.
She had wondered whether Mu Sijue had changed.
But no such luck!
He was still as arrogant, overbearing, and cruel as before.
He would never be gentle at all!
Mu Sijue watched Xu Youning walking away and calmly said, “Your room is on the second floor. I’ve prepared some things for you. If there’s anything else you need, you can tell me.”
Xu Youning stopped, looked back at Mu Sijue and said, “I feel there’s one thing that I don’t need.”
Mu Sijue frowned. “What?”
Xu Youning answered, “You!”
She said it deliberately. Anyway, if she irritated Mu Sijue enough, he might let her go eventually.
Unexpectedly, Mu Sijue didn’t get angry. Instead, he walked up to Xu Youning.
Xu Youning subconsciously touched her neck. She felt like Mu Sijue was going to strangle her.
Mu Sijue stopped in front of her. He looked at her carefully and whispered in her ear, “Soon, you will beg me, just like before.”
Before, Mu Sijue had playfully asked Xu Youning to beg him more than once before taking her body.
Those scenes of their seemingly endless intimacy replayed in Xu Youning’s mind like a film. She subconsciously took a step back and glared at Mu Sijue, but she couldn’t answer him.
Mu Sijue said in a deep voice, “Xu Youning, I’ll give you freedom, but don’t try to escape. Otherwise, begging me will be far from enough.”
Xu Youning provoked him saying, “Mu Sijue, what other tricks are you going to play on me?”
Mu Sijue smiled wryly and said, “A lot. Well, do you want one now?”
“You are thinking…”
Xu Youning had planned to say that Mu Sijue was thinking too much, but before she could finish her words, Mu Sijue picked her up.
She was shocked. “Mu Sijue, what are you doing?”
Mu Sijue said, “F*ck… you…”
At first, Xu Youning thought that Mu Sijue had not finished his speaking, but after a while, she reacted. Then she blushed and struggled hard in Mu Sijue’s arms.
However, she was no match for Mu Sijue at all…
