Love is deep but fate is shallow, this beautiful wife has waited for a thousand years

Mu Xiaoqiao remembered this thing. He had seen it in his father's study when he was young. His father treasured it very much and never allowed Mu Xiaoqiao to touch it. It was only then that Mu Xiaoqiao secretly opened the box when his father was not around and saw the brand inside.

As for what it was used for or where it came from, her father never told her.

Seeing her father's old things, Mu Xiaoqiao almost burst into tears. She took a deep breath, closed the box, and nodded to Ruan Haoyu behind her.

Ruan Haoyu walked over to Mu Xiaoqiao and put his arms around her slender waist. Mu Xiaoqiao's body stiffened, but she did not struggle. When she saw Chen Taorui, her face became even darker.

Qi Nanfeng took away the gun that was pointed at Rong Hai's head, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "You can go back to your master. Thank you for your cooperation these days. I will find you for a drink another day."

His voice was neither loud nor soft, and seemed to be directed at Rong Hai, but it happened to be heard by Chen Taorui.

Chen Taorui looked at Ruan Haoyu's half-smile and his hand around Mu Xiaoqiao, and he felt so angry that his teeth were itching. If the old man hadn't asked him to find out the secret of the Dragon Map as soon as possible, he wouldn't have to take advantage of the situation and let these two people deliberately show their affection in front of him.

He would rather kill Mu Xiaoqiao than let anyone else touch her. The woman he couldn't get, he could only destroy her.

"Chen Taorui, is my parents' death related to you?" Mu Xiaoqiao asked with red eyes.

Chen Taorui sneered, "This is not today's deal. Want to know? Come back to me and I'll tell you."

Ruan Haoyu snorted coldly: "Dream on!"

"Then there's nothing to talk about." Chen Taorui spread his hands, looking helpless. His rogue look made Mu Xiaoqiao want to shoot him.

But no, there are still many secrets that need to be revealed from him, and this scumbag cannot die now.

"Chen Taorui, you framed the Mu family, persecuted me and made me homeless, hunted me down, and are involved in the death of my parents. Chen Taorui, I will never let you go." Mu Xiaoqiao stared at him with eyes as if filled with poison.

"I'm at your service anytime." Chen Taorui looked nonchalant.

"Chen Taorui, how is the issue of Ruiyuan Real Estate using inferior raw materials being handled? Do you want me to give you another big gift?" Ruan Haoyu hugged Mu Xiaoqiao's slender waist tightly.

Chen Taorui's smile froze on his face. After a moment, he said angrily, "So it was you who was behind this."

He has been very busy these days. The group was hit by negative news and the stock price plummeted. He was scolded by the old man. He originally thought that there was a mistake in the transportation of raw materials, but he didn't expect it was Ruan Haoyu's doing.

Ruan Haoyu put away the smile on his face and said coldly: "If you are clean, how can I take advantage of you? You should reflect on yourself first. By the way, I have much more than this in my hands. You'd better behave yourself."

After saying that, Ruan Haoyu turned around and left with Mu Xiaoqiao.

Chen Taorui stood there, his eyes full of gloom. Rong Hai said with lingering fear: "Master, I'm sorry, I didn't do my job well and caused you trouble."

"What did you tell them?" Chen Taorui's voice was like ice.

Rong Hai panicked and immediately knelt down, waving his hands repeatedly, "I didn't, I didn't say anything, Master, please believe me."

Chen Taorui sighed, pulled him up, and said, "Ah Hai, you've been with me for quite some time, how could I not believe you? But..."

A gunshot rang out, sending the birds flying over the beach.

Chen Taorui put the gun back, looked at Rong Hai's face with his eyes open, and then finished his words: "But, you know too much." Unfortunately, Rong Hai could no longer hear him.

His men quickly put the man into a bag and threw him directly into the sea from the edge of the cliff. The group left and the sea breeze was calm, as if nothing had happened.

Mu Xiaoqiao sat in the car, looking at the dragon picture in her hand with a frown. Since her father's relics were in Chen Taorui's hands, he must be related to them. But how could he be so kind as to return the things to her?

Really for Rong Hai? She wouldn't be stupid enough to believe such a ridiculous excuse. I'm afraid Rong Hai has already died in the sea.

Qi Nanfeng's attempt to sow discord just now was so obvious that she believed everyone present could see it. But so what? With Chen Taorui's suspicion, whether it was true or not, Rong Hai could no longer be alive. Chen Taorui would not keep such a weak spot that could expose his secrets at any time by his side.

Then he must have had a deeper meaning when he deliberately gave the Dragon Picture to me.

"There may be some unknown secrets hidden in this Dragon Soaring Picture." Ruan Haoyu saw Mu Xiaoqiao looking at the Dragon Soaring Picture over and over again, so he spoke.

"But what is the secret?" Mu Xiaoqiao had never heard his father mention it.

Ruan Haoyu pondered, "Did your father-in-law ever tell you anything that you didn't understand at the time, or where?"

Mu Xiaoqiao stared and thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "No."

Seeing that Mu Xiaoqiao's eyes were dark and it was obvious that she hadn't slept well for several days, Ruan Haoyu felt distressed. He reached out to hold her in his arms, but stopped halfway and turned to smooth his hair.

Mu Xiaoqiao saw all his actions but said nothing. He only said, "When my father and mother passed away, they were just in their early forties. They were in good health. How could they have thought of telling me anything?"

Although they have only been together for a few days, Mu Xiaoqiao's vigilance towards Ruan Haoyu has decreased a lot, especially since he always helps her unconditionally. However, due to the painful experience of being deceived by Chen Taorui, Mu Xiaoqiao still cannot trust anyone wholeheartedly.

"Don't think about it, you are too tired. Have a good rest tonight. I will postpone all your work tomorrow. You should have a good sleep at home." Ruan Haoyu felt sorry for her.

"Okay, thank you." Mu Xiaoqiao felt that he really needed to take a break, sort out his thoughts, and think about what to do next.

Picking up the Dragon Map again, Mu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Ruan Haoyu sighed helplessly, knowing that he couldn't stop her and could only let her go.

After returning to the villa, Mu Xiaoqiao fell asleep on Ruan Haoyu's shoulder at some point. Ruan Haoyu carefully put his coat on her, then gently picked her up and carried her back to the bedroom.

No one noticed that the glass ring in Ruan Haoyu's hand and the glass bracelet on Mu Xiaoqiao's wrist were emitting colorful light at the same time. After a flash, the light connected together and then disappeared, but because it was covered by Ruan Haoyu's coat, even Ruan Haoyu did not notice it.

At this time, Mu Xiaoqiao rested her head on Ruan Haoyu's shoulder and slept so soundly that even when Ruan Haoyu put her on the bed in the bedroom, she did not wake up at all.

Ruan Haoyu did not leave immediately. Instead, he took the opportunity to hold Mu Xiaoqiao's hand, sat beside the bed, and looked at her peaceful sleeping face, unwilling to take his eyes off her for a moment.
