Gong Juncheng glanced coldly at the now empty gate, his face grim.

The assistant stood quietly to the side. Seeing Gu Moxuan's grim expression, he took a deep breath and said softly.

"Sir, we're returning to Beicheng tomorrow. Miss Mu, she..."

Gong Juncheng glanced indifferently at his assistant, his expression cold and devoid of any emotion, and said in a deep voice.

"What happens to her is none of my business."

Upon hearing this, the assistant gave an awkward smile, momentarily at a loss for words.

Gong Juncheng's current behavior clearly indicates that he is deliberately ignoring Mu Ya'an and leaving her with no one to turn to for help.

He had no idea that Gong Juncheng had such a boring side.

Teasing Mu Ya'an seems to have become his only remaining source of amusement.

......

Mu Ya'an left Gong Juncheng's house and headed towards the side wall.

There's a big tree right next to here. When Mu Ya'an came to the Gong family's place before, she didn't have a key, so she would climb in from here.

Over the years, this courtyard has remained unchanged.

It's probably no one's guess that the dignified and elegant eldest daughter of the Mu family would actually climb over the wall.

Mu Ya'an took off his shoes and put them on the ground, then climbed up the big tree.

The branches of this large tree stretched directly into the inner courtyard of the Gong family.

As soon as Mu Ya'an climbed up the tree, she heard dogs barking below.

She looked down and saw that, at some point, a dog had been put up there, and judging by its size, it was quite large.

The dog howled in a heart-wrenching voice, and Mu Ya'an suddenly felt her legs go weak.

She stood on the tree, quietly staring at the dog, her expression somewhat guilty.

Gong Juncheng, who was sitting in the living room, frowned slightly when he heard the dog barking.

The assistant also heard the sound and then spoke softly.

"Sir, I'll go check right away."

This dog rarely barks, so why is it so agitated today?

The assistant came out of the living room and went to the side yard, where he discovered Mu Ya'an standing on a tree branch.

Mu Ya'an also saw the man in a suit and tie.

This man is the one who gave her the money.

Muya paused for a moment, her expression showing some surprise.

"Why are you here?"

When the assistant realized that Mu Ya'an had recognized him, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said awkwardly.

"Miss Mu, why did you climb up the tree?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an's expression turned somewhat awkward. She glanced at the dog below, then at the man in a suit and tie in the distance, and roughly understood the situation.

This man works under Gu Moxuan.

Mu Ya'an took a deep breath, glanced at the dog on the ground, and spoke.

"Could you get the dog away from me first?"

Seeing this, the assistant dared not make any move. He merely glanced at Mu Ya'an and then spoke in a deep voice.

"Miss Mu, please stay in the tree and don't move. I'll go and call the master over right away."

Mu Ya'an paused for a moment, then immediately spoke.

"Don't call him over."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, her assistant turned and went inside.

Mu Ya'an is now in a very awkward situation.

But this is the only chance to see Gong Juncheng.

The dogs below continued to bark, and Mu Ya'an could only stand quietly on the tree and stare at them.

She didn't say a word, but the dog continued to bark relentlessly.

Within minutes, Gong Juncheng came out of the house.

Seeing Mu Ya'an standing barefoot on the tree branch with an exceptionally cold expression, he said in a deep voice.

"Miss Mu, what are you doing?"

When Mu Ya'an saw Gong Juncheng come out, she took a deep breath, her expression somewhat awkward, but she quickly calmed down, looked at Gong Juncheng, and said in a low voice.

"Since you won't see me, this is the only way I could come up with."

Gong Juncheng did not stop the dog from barking, but looked at Mu Ya'an with a deep gaze and a hint of mockery on his face.

"Miss Mu, I told you last night to come to me, but what did you do? Didn't you already find a new way out? So, in the end, you still need my help?"

Mu Ya'an listened to Gong Juncheng's words, biting her lip tightly. She stared intently at Gong Juncheng and finally whispered a few words.

"Juncheng, do you really want me to auction myself off?"

When Gong Juncheng heard Mu Ya'an call his name, his expression changed slightly, his face hardened, and he said sternly.

“Miss Mu, our relationship doesn’t seem to be at the point where we can call each other by our first names.”

Mu Ya'an felt a chill in her heart upon hearing Gong Juncheng's words, but she quickly raised her head again, looked at Gong Juncheng, and said in a deep voice.

“Mr. Gong, please chase the dog away. I would like to speak with you alone.”

Gong Juncheng glanced at Mu Ya'an, then at the dog under the tree, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, before speaking in a low voice.

"Reo is a dog that knows more about loyalty than a human. You can say whatever you want."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an bit her lip. Gong Juncheng was mocking her for not being loyal enough in the past.

She took a deep breath, looked at Gong Juncheng, and said in a low voice.

“I tried my best back then, but by the time I had raised enough money to find you, you had already left H City.”

Gong Juncheng glanced indifferently at Mu Ya'an, and when Mu Ya'an brought up the past, his expression remained unchanged.

“Miss Mu, I don’t want to talk to you about what happened back then. I don’t think our relationship is worth bringing up the past.”

Just as Mu Ya'an was about to speak, the dog that was on the ground suddenly jumped up and bit the tip of a tree branch. Mu Ya'an was distracted and fell off the branch.

Gong Juncheng watched all this unfold with a cold eye. Seeing that Mu Ya'an was unharmed after falling, he immediately pulled back the leg he had stepped out with.

When Mu Ya'an fell, the assistant immediately ran over and pulled Reo and Mu Ya'an apart.

Even though her assistant had pulled her away, Reo continued to emit threatening sobs.

Mu Ya'an collapsed to the ground, and for a moment, she felt like she couldn't breathe.

"Miss Mu, are you alright?"

Gong Juncheng's assistant's voice came through. Mu Ya'an opened her eyes, shook her head, and looked very uncomfortable. Hearing her assistant's voice, she calmed herself down and said in a low voice.

"fine."

Gong Juncheng glanced indifferently at Mu Ya'an, then turned and went back to the living room.

As Mu Ya'an watched Gong Juncheng turn away without a word, for a moment, she felt tears welling up in her eyes.

She quickly calmed down.

The assistant held onto Rui'ou, and because of Gong Juncheng, he didn't dare to go over and help Mu Ya'an. He could only watch as Mu Ya'an got up from the ground on her own and limped into the house.

Her pants got caught on a tree branch as they fell down, and it was clear that her leg was also scraped.

Seeing Mu Ya'an enter the room, the assistant took a deep breath, patted Rui'ou on the head, and whispered something.

"You ungrateful wretch! She's the master's woman. If you hurt her now, the master might turn you into soup."

Upon hearing the assistant's words, Reo barked twice before lying down on the ground and obediently wagging its tail.

Seeing this, the assistant rolled his eyes helplessly and glanced worriedly towards the living room.

Although Gong Juncheng still has feelings for Mu Ya'an, he is currently filled with anger and is unwilling to acknowledge his feelings for her.

I'm afraid Mu Ya'an will suffer a lot during this period.
