The two people in the room looked towards the door at the same time.

Ji Beitang's eyes showed panic. He quickly pulled Xu Muzhe up and said in a low voice, "Hide quickly, don't let my mother find out."

Ji's mother couldn't wait to hear the door open, so she turned the doorknob.

"Wait! Mom, I'm getting dressed!" Ji Beitang said anxiously.

Mother Ji stopped what she was doing and said, "Why didn't you say anything? I thought something happened to you."

Ji Beitang opened the wardrobe and forced Xu Muzhe in.

Only after he closed the closet door did he feel a little relieved.

Ji Beitang straightened his clothes, then opened the door and frowned, "What are you doing here so late?"

Mother Ji glared at him unhappily.

"Can't I come in and see my son?"

Mother Ji sat down beside the bed, patted the seat beside her, and said to Ji Beitang, "Come and sit down, and talk to mom."

"What else can we talk about? You've locked me up, so I guess nothing I say will be of any use."

"How can you talk like that? I'm doing this for you, right?" Mother Ji sighed and softened her tone. "Xiao Lin came to see you today. He brought a cake to coax you. How can you let him take it back intact? It would hurt him so much."

Ji Beitang subconsciously looked at the wardrobe.

I know I should be ruthless and send Xu Muzhe away, but at this moment I am afraid that Xu Muzhe will misunderstand me.

"What are you looking at?"

Ji Beitang came back to his senses and turned to look at his mother.

"So he complained to you?"

"Xiao Lin doesn't have so many messy thoughts. I just happened to see it by accident."

Ji Beitang's eyes were filled with undisguised disgust, and he sneered, "He has the most thoughts, but you are the only ones who can't see it."

"He's better than Xu Muzhe in any case." Ji's mother shook her head in confusion, "I just can't figure out what you like about him. Why are you so devoted to him?"

"So you came in just to teach me a lesson?"

Ji's mother was speechless after being scolded by him.

"When we get married, you will know that I am right."

Mother Ji reached out to help him straighten his messy bangs. "You don't understand my painstaking efforts. If Xu Muzhe really treated you well, I would turn a blind eye. Our Ji family is so rich that we don't have to have an arranged marriage. But the problem is that he treats you badly. Fortunately, he gave you to Xiaolin. If someone else had defiled you, I would have killed that bastard."

After hearing this, Ji Beitang's momentum was not as fierce as before.

He knew that the elders of the Ji family loved him very much.

So after learning about Xu Muzhe's betrayal, he was extremely disgusted with Xu Muzhe. If he hadn't stopped it, Xu Muzhe would have been retaliated by the Ji family long ago.

But who is Gu Zilin?

He was also being used, and his methods were even more cruel than Xu Muzhe's.

He didn't want much to begin with, but Gu Zilin obstructed him at every turn, and even his last dream was shattered.

"I don't want to marry Gu Zilin."

Mother Ji frowned disapprovingly, "Why are you confused again, kid?"

"I hate him." Ji Beitang continued, "It's impossible to be happy in marriage."

Ji's mother thought Ji Beitang was being willful again.

She said with a serious expression, "The wedding has been decided. Your father and I have made up our minds that it has to be Gu Zilin. Our two families know each other well, and he can't possibly treat you badly. Don't think about Xu Muzhe, just wait for the day of your wedding peacefully."

When Ji's mother looked at the disobedient Ji Beitang, her temples began to ache.

She stood up and said to Ji Beitang, "Stop making things difficult for Xiaolin and forget about Xu Muzhe. He is not worth it."

Ji Beitang pursed his lips and did not respond.

Ji's mother looked at Ji Beitang deeply, sighed helplessly, and then left the room.

Ji Beitang clenched his fists, then walked to the closet and opened the door.

Xu Muzhe was curled up in the corner, sleeping with his head tilted.

The clumsy trick made Ji Beitang angry and want to laugh.

"Okay, stop pretending to sleep." Ji Beitang squatted down and patted Xu Muzhe's shoulder, "Let's go quickly. If my parents find out, they will definitely not forgive you."

Xu Muzhe still didn't respond.

Ji Beitang sensed something was wrong and quickly reached out to touch his forehead.

So hot.

"Why are you running around when you're sick?"

Ji Beitang felt extremely distressed and used all his strength to lift Xu Muzhe up and then put him on the bed.

Xu Muzhe seemed to wake up, half-opened his eyes, and stared at Ji Beitang's face.

"Don't drive me away."

"you..."

Ji Beitang was defeated by Xu Muzhe and held his hand helplessly.

"I won't chase you away. Just close your eyes and take a nap. I'll find a way to get you some medicine."

"it is good."
