Forced love, an inescapable fate

Wanyue really had no appetite at this moment, but she had to bite the bullet and continue pretending to be hungry.

She secretly complained in her heart and was even about to cry out of grievance. At the same time, she cursed Bai Yu in her heart at least eight hundred times!

In the end, it was thanks to Mu Qingli that she noticed she was eating too much and worried that it would harm her body, so she stopped her and said, "Girl, that's enough. There's still a lot here. Don't eat so much at once, otherwise your stomach will definitely not be able to bear it."

At this moment, Mu Qingli's gentle and caring words sounded like heavenly music to Wanyue.

So, she quickly put down the food she was holding as if relieved, and said softly with a hint of shyness and apology, "I'm sorry, I was so hungry that I couldn't control my appetite for a moment. But normally, I can't eat so much. I've always had a very small appetite."

After hearing this, Mu Qingli smiled slightly and expressed his understanding.

Then she continued, "That's fine, but could you please tell us about your difficulties and see if there's anything we can do to help?"

Wan Yue pursed her lips tightly, thinking about the miserable life story that Bai Yu had made up for her before she came. Although it was a little difficult to speak at this time, she had to bite the bullet and speak in order to complete the task.

She pursed her lips and tears flowed from her round almond-shaped eyes like a broken dam.

Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, "Young lady, to be honest, I've lost all my family and am now wandering the world alone. To be honest, I was abducted and brought here by a despicable person. That villain attempted to sell me into a brothel, where I suffered endless suffering and torture. But I refused to succumb to fate, and so I risked my life to escape. But now I'm penniless, without a family, and unable to find a place to stay. Unable to bear the hunger, I finally collapsed in front of your house... Please have mercy and take me in! I will never be a burden to you. I am willing to work hard and do my best to help you with anything. Moreover, my appetite is very small, so I'm easy to feed. All you need is a bowl of rice. I beg you, young lady and sir, to have mercy on this unfortunate person of mine and not let me fall into that terrible abyss of a brothel!"

Wanyue's words were so earnest, and her pitiful appearance with tearful eyes was simply heartbreaking.

If Jiang Ci didn't know the inside story and knew that she was just acting, anyone else would probably be moved by her sincere and moving performance, and would feel sympathy for her and lend a helping hand!

Mu Qingli couldn't help but feel sympathy for her when she heard her tragic life story, but keeping her would undoubtedly mean one more mouth to feed. But then she thought, didn't she and Jiang Ci just rent a shop? Jiang Ci would go to school in the future, and she couldn't handle it alone, so she really needed help. The girl in front of her said that she had nowhere to go, so she might as well keep her, but she still had to ask Jiang Ci's opinion.

"Brother, why don't we keep this girl here? She's desperate now, with nowhere else to go. If we let her wander the streets like this, and if she's trafficked to a brothel, her life will be completely ruined!"

Jiang Ci listened to Mu Qingli's words, and after a moment of silence, he nodded seriously in agreement.

Seeing Jiang Ci nod in agreement, Mu Qingli's face immediately blossomed with a joyful smile. She turned to look at the woman beside her and asked softly, "Oh, by the way, young lady, we still don't know your name?"

The woman bowed slightly and replied softly, "Thank you for your concern, young lady. My surname is Lin, and my given name is Wanyue. My full name is Lin Wanyue. If you don't mind, you can just call me 'Wanyue' from now on."

"Wanyue... Well, it's really a very nice name!" Mu Qingli exclaimed with a smile.

Then he introduced himself, "Well, let me introduce myself too. My name is Mu Qingli, and the person standing next to me is my younger brother, Jiang Ci. My sister and I are currently living here temporarily, and there is no one else at home. Since you have decided to stay here, there is no need to be too reserved. If you encounter anything that requires help, please feel free to let us know."

Hearing these words, Lin Wanyue hurriedly bowed again and expressed her gratitude: "Thank you Miss Mu and Mr. Jiang for taking me in. Wanyue will definitely remember this in her heart."

At this point, Wanyue's tense heartstrings finally relaxed and she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although he had doubts about Bai Yu's idea and even did not fully agree with it, things eventually developed in the ideal direction and progressed quite smoothly.

Since Wanyue decided to stay, the first thing to solve is the accommodation problem.

So, Mu Qingli and Wanyue started to tidy up the study together to make a suitable space for Wanyue to use as a temporary bedroom. The two worked together and acted quickly.

After a busy period, the originally slightly messy study was completely transformed into a warm and comfortable small bedroom, and Wanyue officially stayed here.

In the afternoon, Mu Qingli took Wanyue to the street and bought her some clothes and some other daily necessities. Looking at the money in his pocket that was slowly decreasing, Mu Qingli decided to implement his plan of opening a store as soon as possible, otherwise, when the money was spent, they would really be left with nothing.

After a short time together, Wanyue developed a liking for this woman who Bai Yu described as useless. She was obviously a good girl, kind, generous, and not scheming. It really gave people a very comfortable feeling to be with her.

Wan Yue, on the other hand, had never met this young master before, and her previous understanding of him was limited to Bai Yu's description. In Bai Yu's description, the seemingly harmless Sixth Prince in front of her was actually ruthless, had excellent kung fu, was a little narrow-minded, and was very harsh to his subordinates, etc. However, Wan Yue felt that Bai Yu must have exaggerated, but he was clearly a good-looking young man with a clean and bright smile.

Especially when facing Mu Qingli, the eyes of this young master were always sparkling. It seemed that he trusted Princess Qingli very much. There was no way that the relationship between them was incompatible as Bai Yu said.
