"Uncle Chi, why did you save me? Is it because..."

——Do you like me?

Xu Nuonuo wanted to be more direct, but she couldn't ask. After hesitating and struggling for a long time, she finally changed the subject.

"Is it because of... my dad?"

Mu Ningchi glanced indifferently at Xu Nuonuo, who was trembling slightly with nervousness. As soon as he looked into his eyes, he looked away uneasily, his little face as red as a cooked shrimp.

The light blue nightgown on her body was wrinkled by her pair of white and tender little fists, and her nervousness was visibly visible.

Mu Ningchi could see at a glance what question Xu Nuonuo originally wanted to ask, and he never intended to hide himself in front of Xu Nuonuo.

That's why he teased her, got close to her, held her hand and kissed her lips.

Still want... her.

Not only her, but also her heart, he wanted to possess her completely and utterly.

Unfortunately, Xu Nuonuo was just like him and never concealed herself in front of him, just like now——

There was no expectation or anticipation in those beautiful, clear eyes; instead, fear and uneasiness were about to overflow.

It seems that being liked by him is a very scary thing.

Mu Ningchi glared coldly at Xu Nuonuo's beautiful big eyes, and his mood, which was not good to begin with, became even more depressed.

He said calmly without any emotion: "Of course, I promised Xu Niansheng to take good care of you, so I won't break my promise. Otherwise, why do you think I did this?"

"I didn't think so. I just wanted to... thank you. Uncle Chi, thank you for saving me."

Xu Nuonuo raised her face and tried hard to force a sweet smile towards Mu Ningchi, the blush on her cheeks gradually began to fade.

She couldn't tell what the relaxed and slightly sour mood at this moment meant, but she knew very well that people like Mu Ningchi had no shortage of money and women.

For Mu Ningchi, frivolous teasing and kissing might be the most commonplace daily occurrence.

It has nothing to do with liking...

In his world, as long as he wants, there will be countless women throwing themselves at him, so he can flirt with any woman recklessly and without regard for the consequences.

But it definitely can't be her!

She was afraid that Mu Ningchi would be interested in her.

Mu Ningchi, who had been observing Xu Nuonuo for a long time, saw that she was really relieved by his answer against her will. The annoyance in his heart rose like fire, making him restless and uneasy.

If Xu Nuonuo wasn't injured, he really wanted to rush to this ruthless woman, pick her up and press her onto the bed.

While bullying her, he told her—

Why on earth did I save her? !

The sea breeze was still blowing, the room was too quiet, and the rustling sound of the curtains was particularly harsh.

Xu Nuonuo felt uncomfortable being stared at by Mu Ningchi. She stopped looking at him and took off her soft slippers, revealing her white feet.

He bent down with great difficulty and used a cotton swab to apply medicine to the broken blisters on the soles of his feet.

The body aches and rib fractures pulled at Xu Nuonuo's fragile nerves.

She was in great pain, but she did not cry out, nor did she ask Mu Ningchi for help.

Seeing this, Mu Ningchi snorted, stood up, walked out of the door without looking back, and his tall figure stopped in front of the door.

"Thanks, no need. Xu Nuonuo, you might as well think about how to repay me!"

bang——

Mu Ningchi slammed the door shut, took out his cell phone and called Chen Songwen.

"Biya country, set off immediately."

"Now, now?"

Didn’t you say you would give him a day off today? What’s going on?

Chen Songwen on the other end of the phone looked a little annoyed and reluctant at the boxing match ticket in his hand.

Did he understand it wrongly, or did Brother Chi lose his memory?

"has a problem?"

"no problem!"

Chen Songwen came to his senses, stuffed the admission ticket into the hand of the person who was buying scalper tickets at the door, took out his car keys and strode towards the parking lot.

Mu Ningchi on the other side continued: "There is a boy named Ivan in Xu Nuonuo's class. Send someone to investigate and send me all his information."

"Yes."

Xu Nuonuo sent a message to Shi Wenjing to let her know that she was safe.

Shi Wenjing was in class, so he didn't dare call her. The two communicated via typing, chatting back and forth for the entire morning.

Xu Nuonuo didn't want to talk about her experiences over the past few days. She only said that her uncle saved her, and she always avoided the other parts intentionally or unintentionally. Shi Wenjing stopped asking and chatted with her about some celebrity gossip.

Then Xu Nuonuo smiled, put away her phone, locked herself in the room, and stayed in a daze for a day and a night.

When it was time for dinner, Mary would deliver the meals to her room on time and tell her not to get up but to lie down and rest.

But until the next morning, Xu Nuonuo still hadn't figured it out.

Mu Ningchi had everything he needed, and she didn't know how to repay him for saving her life. She couldn't just give herself to him like they did in the TV dramas, right?

That's really ridiculous!

No, no, no, it's too bad! She won't give it to him!

As she thought about it, Xu Nuonuo suddenly smiled. She couldn't sort out her conflicting and complicated emotions.

She thought she might be ill.

"Miss Xu."

There was a knock on the door. It was a male voice with an extremely unfamiliar tone. It was not Mark, but probably another bodyguard in the villa.

But Mu Ningchi never allowed bodyguards to enter the second floor. It was not even eight o'clock yet, Mary had not come to work yet, and no one knew where Ya'an had gone!

Xu Nuonuo was a little scared and didn't respond.

The person outside knocked on the door again very patiently and politely.

"Miss Xu, are you awake?"

Xu Nuonuo got up and put on her clothes. "You're awake. What's the matter?"

"Ms. Xu, please pack up your things and move to Hongyuan Xingyuan near Andhra University."

"Is this what Uncle Chi meant?"

"Yes. I'm at the door. Call me when you're ready and I'll help you with your luggage."

"it is good."

Xu Nuonuo had long been fed up with getting up at five in the morning and catching up on sleep in the car. She thought that maybe Mu Ningchi had a change of heart because of her injuries.

She happily packed her luggage and limped downstairs following her bodyguard.

Mary's figure hurried in at the door.

Ya'an disappeared for the whole day, and she was really worried about Xu Nuonuo being alone, so she came early to take care of her.

But Xu Nuonuo followed the bodyguard downstairs. The bodyguard was carrying her pink and white suitcase in his hand, as if he was going out.

Mary trotted over and said, "Nono, where are you going? The doctor said you need to rest for your injury."

Xu Nuonuo moved her little mouth and was about to speak when Ya'an's voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

"Where else can we go! Our Miss Xu Nuonuo has been abandoned by Mr. Mu~"

Abandoned...?

Xu Nuonuo was stunned. The words that were about to come out were stuck in her throat, and her heart inexplicably tightened.

Mary, who was standing next to her, took a step forward.

"Ya'an, what are you talking about? And where did you go yesterday? I waited for you until after 10 o'clock tonight for the shift change! If Mr. Mu wasn't at home, you would have been fired!"

Mu Ningchi is not at home... Ya'an rolled his eyes and continued the conversation with a wicked smile.

"Last night, of course, I served Mr. Mu. Oh! You don't know, Mr. Mu is so bad! He didn't let me rest the whole night, I was so tired!"

Ya'an lied without changing his expression or heartbeat. He saw that Xu Nuonuo's face did not look good, and the scar on her cheek that had not yet healed looked very hideous.

Her mood improved.

No wonder Xu Nuonuo was sent away by Mu Ningchi. This face looks so ugly no matter how you look at it now!

Mary would not believe Ya'an's words. She held Xu Nuonuo's hand tightly and patted the back of her hand soothingly.

"Nono, don't listen to her nonsense. She only dreams of marrying into a wealthy family. How could Mr. Mu possibly like her?"

Xu Nuonuo remained silent. She originally wanted to say that who Mu Ningchi fell in love with had nothing to do with her.

His mouth opened, but no words came out.

Mary looked at the bodyguard next to her and said, "Drive Ya'an out first and wait for Mr. Mu to come back before dealing with him."

The bodyguard didn't move.

"I'm not the one who should be kicked out!"

Ya'an walked in quickly, sat on the sofa in the living room, crossed his legs elegantly and proudly, and ordered the two bodyguards behind him:

"Put my suitcase in Xu Nuonuo's room on the second floor, and then take all her things out and throw them away."

"Yes."

The two bodyguards hurried upstairs carrying suitcases. Mary couldn't stop them and shouted at Ya'an.

"Ya'an, how dare you!"

"What am I afraid of?" Ya'an snorted coldly, "Mr. Mu likes me and asked me to move in, so I am the new mistress of this villa. So you should not call me Ya'an anymore, you should call me - Miss Ya'an."

Mary turned to look at Xu Nonuo and squeezed Xu Nonuo's cold little hand, wanting Xu Nonuo to say something.

But Xu Nuonuo pulled her hand back and smiled at Mary indifferently.

"Sister Mary, thank you for taking care of me during this time. You are my favorite person in this family. But you also know that I don't like living here at all. It's best like this now. I'm leaving."

"Nono, wait a minute..."

Mary stopped Xu Nuonuo and hurriedly took out her cell phone to call Mu Ningchi.

Although she knew in her heart that Ya'an was so bold, it was most likely Mu Ningchi's idea.

But Mary still couldn't believe it.

Mr. Mu obviously cares about Xu Nuonuo so much. When he knew Xu Nuonuo was missing, he rushed back from abroad to save her. How could he just abandon her like that?

"Mr. Mu," Mary said cautiously after the call was connected, "Did you...let Ya'an move in?"

Xu Nuonuo paused for a second as she went downstairs. She couldn't help but glance at Mary out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing that Mary didn't speak for a long time after hanging up the phone, Xu Nuonuo's heart sank slightly, although she had been calm.

Actually, it was nothing. She didn't want to be locked up and kept by Mu Ningchi in the first place.

Just like the past eighteen years, she was first given to her mother by her father, and then given to different neighbors by her mother...

After finally growing up and being able to support himself, he was inexplicably thrown to Mu Ningchi to be raised.

Now Mu Ningchi also planned to abandon her, but what did it matter? She had long been accustomed to a life without a fixed place to live.

She is a duckweed drifting with the current.

For her, home is anywhere.

Xu Nuonuo didn't hesitate any more and walked out of the living room without looking back.

Good, she's free...
