Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Yi Mu took off his apron and sat down opposite Hua Chaochao. When he heard her words, he looked back at her and said seriously, "No."

Hua Chaochao tilted her head slightly: "What is that?"

Yi Mu: "I just...want to be good to you."

He had a vague premonition that Hua Chaochao would soon leave this place, so he wanted to do as much as possible for her in the limited time.

Hua Chaochao couldn't help but laugh, as if she knew what he was thinking, "You are really... silly and cute."

"Since you are so reluctant to leave me, why don't I take you with me?"

When Yi Mu heard this, his heart began to beat violently unconsciously, but before he could respond, Hua Chaochao continued: "As long as you are willing to give up everything here."

These words immediately cooled Yi Mu's warm heart.

Can he follow her regardless of everything?

Yi Mu lowered his eyes and clenched his fists. He asked himself, could he abandon his master, Lotus Island, Aunt Huo and all the people who cared about him, and then leave with Hua Chaochao without any scruples?

Just as Yi Mu was caught in the dilemma of making a difficult decision, a cold hand touched his clenched fist.

Yi Mu raised his eyes and didn’t know when Hua Chaochao came over from across to sit next to him.

"Is it difficult to choose?" Hua Chaochao pried open Yi Mu's fist, squeezed her fingers in, and intertwined theirs tightly.

At the same time, she gently stroked Yi Mu's cheek with her other hand, and met Yi Mu's painful and confused eyes, "I'll give you a suggestion."

“Just – enjoy the moment.”

After saying that, Hua Chaochao kissed Yi Mu.

"What do you think?"

The two of them were very close at this moment, their breaths intertwined.

Hua Chaochao could even clearly hear the sound of Yi Mu's heart beating as violently as a drum in his chest.

I couldn't help but laugh secretly. She's still the same as before, not easily teased.

At this moment, Yi Mu had a dazed expression and his eyes were a little unfocused, as if his entire soul had been sucked away by that light peck just now, leaving only his shell.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses and refocus his eyes on Hua Chaochao's smiling eyes.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Yi Mu heard himself ask this.

Hua Chaochao's fingers gently brushed the hair on Yi Mu's forehead, with a lazy and casual look in her eyes, "I don't care."

It depends on whether you can bear it or not.

"Then I won't eat it." Yi Mu answered quickly. She said to enjoy the present moment, so why should he endure it?

He reached out and picked up Hua Chaochao, let her sit on the dining table, and then kissed her.

Next to the two of them was a table of steaming food, which was completely ignored.

At the beginning, Hua Chaochao did not close her eyes. She just kept her eyes open, quietly looking at Yi Mu who was kissing her passionately and selflessly. The corners of her mouth curved up quietly, and then she slowly closed her eyes and responded to his kiss.

No one can compare delicious food.

I've wanted to strip him for a long time.

Hua Chaochao didn't feel guilty at all about the lie she had just told.

In fact, she couldn't take Yi Mu away.

There are insurmountable rules between the worlds. People from this world cannot go to another world. Even if she is a god, she is powerless in the face of these rules. She can only leave alone.

That's why she said those words when Yi Mu hesitated.

They only have the present, not the future.

……

the other side.

Before the people from the aristocratic families surrounded the Xuan Palace, Xiao Si quietly slipped out from a side door of the Xuan Palace.

The people who came to surround Xuan Palace this time included not only the guards of the Li family, but also people of the Shen family. There were more than a hundred guards in total, who firmly guarded every exit of Xuan Palace.

The leader of this operation was an ordinary elder of the Li family, who was responsible for conveying Li Qingchi's words.

The sudden siege left everyone in the Xuan Palace confused. Qin Shuheng was also bewildered and didn't understand what was going on. However, as the chief guard and since Lord Xuan was not there, he had to step forward to deal with it and find out the situation.

At the gate of Xuan Palace.

"Elder Lu, what do you mean?" Qin Shuheng withdrew his gaze from the guards from the aristocratic families who had squeezed out the positions guarding the gate, and looked at the elder of the Li family in front of him.

Elder Lu remembered the task that Li Qingchi had given him, and said with a serious face: "The clan leader asked me to pass on a message that Xuanzhu is now imprisoned in the Li family dungeon. If you want to save him, hand over Fu Lan, otherwise he will be killed."

Qin Shuheng:!!!

what's the situation?

The third brother was locked up in the dungeon?

No way, if Third Brother doesn’t want to, who can trap him?

Could it be that he volunteered?

He didn't even tell him what the third brother was doing in advance so that he would know how to deal with it.

There was no other option but to give free rein to his actions.

Qin Shuheng suppressed his doubts and said with a frown, "The former Xuan Lord is already dead, where can we find a dead person to hand over? Elder Lu, are you deliberately making things difficult for us?"

Elder Lu was unmoved: "There is no point in saying more. It is up to you to decide whether to hand over the person or watch Master Xuan die."

Qin Shuheng: ...We've run into a tough guy.

"Five days at most." Elder Lu added, "If Fu Lan doesn't show up one day, break one of Xuanzhu's arms or legs. After five days, if there is still no news of Fu Lan, you will have to wait to collect Xuanzhu's body."

"Also, to prevent any of you from escaping, everyone must stay in the Xuan Palace during this period of time. If anyone is found trying to escape, they will be killed without mercy!"

After saying this, Elder Lu turned around and left without even looking at Qin Shuheng's reaction.

He had already delivered what the patriarch had asked him to deliver, and he didn't want to hear any more nonsense.

Qin Shuheng looked at Elder Lu's departing back, shaking with anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Bastard from aristocratic family!

Considering that there were people from aristocratic families standing nearby, Qin Shuheng could only keep his words to himself and curse.

After cursing, take a deep breath and calm yourself down.

He turned and walked into the Xuan Palace, and the people who were waiting anxiously immediately surrounded him.

"What's going on? Why do you want us to hand over the former Xuan Lord? Hasn't he been dead for several years?"

"How is Master Xuan now? Will they really attack Master Xuan?"

"Does Master Xuan have any plans? What should we do?"

"..."

Everyone was talking at the same time, and Qin Shuheng was unable to think.

Qin Shuheng tried to call Ji Xianchen, but the call came back with a tone indicating no one was answering.

He turned off his phone helplessly, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and explained the current situation to everyone: "I also want to know your questions. Before Master Xuan went to the Li family, he didn't reveal anything to me, so I am as confused as you are."

The people who gathered around were all Ji Xianchen's closest friends. Qin Shuheng keenly noticed that one person was missing, so he asked, "Where are the four little ones?"

"I don't know, I didn't see him." someone answered.

The others also shook their heads, indicating that they had no idea where Xiao Si had gone.

"He should be outside. Send a message to tell him not to come back for the time being and wait until things are over." Qin Shuheng said after thinking for a moment.

At this moment, the Xuan Palace is surrounded by the aristocratic families. It is like a cage. People can only enter but not leave. Xiao Si can still be freer outside.
