The night outside the window was thick, dark and mysterious, just like the man’s eyes at that moment.

Li Chenye did not answer her question, but instead asked this question which was irrelevant.

Mu Yuan has always had a gentle temper. Except for the time when he pushed her into the water, when she got angry and slapped him in the face, she has never shown any extreme emotions.

Hearing this sentence now.

She frowned, no matter how good her temper was, she couldn't help but feel a little angry at this moment.

Even without feelings.

Even if she has no background or family.

But they are a married couple after all, how could he ask such a question?

Mu Yuan sat on the chair, facing the man's cold and approaching gaze, she leaned back slightly, and then asked: "Who offered you this price?"

Three hundred million or something.

She naturally didn't believe it was true.

But what he said must not be groundless.

So she wanted to get things clear.

Unexpectedly, a sharp light suddenly flashed in the man's eyes.

He pinched Mu Yuan's face with his palm: "You are really blinded by money. Instead of refusing first, you asked who checked the price? Why don't you just ask and go find that person directly!"

Mu Yuan felt pain, grabbed the man's wrist and pushed his hand away.

She stood up, and they looked at each other with their eyes raised up and down.

Li Chengye saw the stubbornness in her eyes again, and curled his lips slightly:

"Aren't the only things on your mind about sex and money?"

"For you, just being a man is enough."

"Does it make any difference whether it's me or someone else?"

Mu Yuan felt as if someone had stabbed her in the heart, and in an instant her flesh and blood was all over the place. What made her most sad was Li Chenye's words. For a moment she didn't know how to refute them.

Because she did marry a strange man for money, became husband and wife, and slept with him...

But that was because she really wanted to escape from the Mu family.

Because she has no expectations of marriage.

Loyal and faithful love might indeed exist, and there must be someone in this world who is loved, but she doesn't quite believe that that person will be herself.

So she accepted the marriage for the purpose of bringing good fortune.

But this doesn't mean she will mess around with anyone.

But Li Chenye always felt that she was that kind of person.

Mu Yuan closed her eyes, trying her best to suppress the pain in her heart, then she looked at the man and continued:

"Mr. Li is really generous to spend three hundred million to buy yourself a green hat."

"On the one hand, you remind me not to associate with other men, and on the other hand, you want to send me to another man's bed. It seems that the dignity of a man that you always talk about is just that."

"Since you like green hats so much, I hope you will get hundreds of millions of green hats when you marry someone else in the future."

Li Chengye's eyes suddenly darkened.

Mu Yuan originally wanted to thank him for helping him in front of Mu Changyong, but now all his gratitude disappeared, leaving only the sadness and unbearableness suppressed in his heart.

She pushed the man away, went to the bathroom to wash up, changed into pajamas, and prepared to go to bed.

When he came out, the man was still standing by the window, his face as gloomy as a mountain, looking at him coldly.

Mu Yuan always felt a chill in the soles of her feet, but she didn't want to pay attention to it. She walked to the bed, lifted the quilt and went to sleep.

After a long while, I heard the sound of a man walking into the bathroom.

A lot of things happened tonight, and Mu Yuan was tired after drinking. He covered his eyes with the quilt to block out the light from outside, curled up his body, and fell asleep in a daze.

In her dream, she dreamed that she fell into the deep sea. The surroundings were bottomless and boundless, like a huge hell cage that enveloped and imprisoned her...

She struggled hard, but couldn't get free.

Suddenly, a fire broke out above her head. She swam out of the sea with great effort, but was surrounded by fire again. Thick smoke filled her lungs. She wanted to survive, but there was nothing around her, she couldn't see the way forward, and no one came to save her.

Mu Yuan felt extreme pain in his heart.

She was sleeping soundly when her forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, her body curled up, trembling slightly, and fear was in her every breath.

Li Chengye came out of the shower and was wiping his hair with a towel. Hearing her movement, he walked over and gently lifted the corner of the quilt that was covering her face.

Her forehead was covered in sweat and her brows were tightly furrowed.

Li Chengye saw that she was probably having a nightmare and patted her face: "Mu Yuan."

But she still didn't wake up, her thoughts still entangled in the nightmare.

Li Chengye clapped again.

Still no sign of waking up.

A hint of impatience flashed in Li Chengye's eyes. He changed the position of his hand and pushed her shoulder hard.

Mu Yuan woke up suddenly and instantly met the man's impatient eyes.

It's a dream...

Just now, it was just a dream.

Mu Yuan propped herself up and sat up. When she realized that it was just a dream, the terrifying aftermath in her heart finally subsided.

"Thank you." She drooped her eyelashes and said in a faint voice.

Then, without looking at the man, she reached out for the bottle of mineral water on the bedside table and took two sips.

He pulled out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Li Chenye still had no expression on his face. He continued to wipe his hair, walked around to the other side of the bed, and sat down with his back to Mu Yuan.

After drying his hair, he scooped up a sip of water from the bedside table, then turned off the lights in the room, lifted the quilt and went to sleep.

Mu Yuan was still sitting. Suddenly, the environment became pitch dark. She blinked her eyelashes and slowly adjusted.

When I looked at the man again, he had closed his eyes and started sleeping as if nothing had happened.

Perhaps it was because he drank too much wine at night, fell into the pool, and had a nightmare, Mu Yuan felt a slight headache.

After lying down, she had trouble falling asleep.

Thinking of what the man had just said, Mu Yuan was still confused. Since she couldn't sleep anyway, she wanted to have a good communication with Li Chenye.

Although this person has a bad temper.

People are annoying too.

But he just confronted Mu Changyong and woke her up from her nightmare, so he still has a little conscience.

Moreover, they have to live together for a long time.

Mu Yuan really didn't want to live in such a tense situation every day. She thought about her wording and prepared herself mentally before speaking softly.

"Boss Li, we are getting married by agreement. It's my agreement and yours. I don't want to quarrel and be suspicious of each other every day."

The man didn't move, and Mu Yuan thought he was asleep.

I thought this communication would probably end in vain.

After waiting for a long time without any response, she was ready to turn over and go to sleep, when Li Chengye suddenly spoke up: "Well, so?"

Mu Yuan quickly stopped moving and continued to lie flat, glancing sideways at the man beside her who still had his eyes closed.

"So, can we talk it out and make things clear?" Mu Yuan said softly, waiting for his reaction.

"Then."

Mu Yuan quickly continued:

"First, your eldest brother and I have never had any contact, let alone any old love."

"Secondly, regarding Senior Ji Min's matter, perhaps from your perspective, something might have happened between him and me, but that's because you and I are in a secret marriage and he doesn't know. But I only met him a few times, nothing else."

Senior Ji Min...

Haha, that’s really intimate.

Li Chengye listened while secretly complaining in his heart.

Mu Yuan didn't know what he was thinking, so she just tried her best to explain these things to him sincerely.

"If this kind of relationship is unacceptable in your eyes, then I will keep my distance and not associate with him."

It is true that we didn't have any deliberate contact with each other. Every time we met was just a coincidence, and we were just nodding acquaintances at most.

Li Chengye said in a lukewarm voice: "Well, is there anything else?"

"The last one is about the three hundred million you just mentioned." Mu Yuan's tone was much more serious than before. "Whether it is true or you just made it up, I hope you won't say such things in the future."

"Our marriage is based on mutual benefit. It seems that I gain a little and you lose a little, but no matter what, we are already husband and wife in name."

"I won't do anything without any bottom line for money. I will be loyal to you during the marriage. There's no need for you to say such things to test me."

Maybe it's not a test, but more of a humiliation and sarcasm.

He feels balanced only when she is not doing well.

Mu Yuan spoke sincerely and in a gentle tone, and every word he said was clear.

After saying that, Li Chengye slowly opened his eyes and looked at her nonchalantly in the darkness: "Are you saying all this to pretend to be gentle and well-behaved so that you can ask me to cooperate with you in having a baby?"

Mu Yuan: “…”

The effect of the second sincere communication - sudden!

The man looked at her lost and helpless expression, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said wickedly: "If you want a child, you can. Take off your clothes and sit on me now. If you dare, I will give it to you tonight."
