The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

The dinner party didn't leave anyone in a very good mood.

After finishing her meal, Mu Ya'an slowly rose from her chair, glanced at Gong Juncheng, and then said in a low voice.

"I've already eaten, please enjoy your meal."

As she spoke, she moved the chair and headed outside.

Gong Juncheng glanced at her indifferently and said in a deep voice.

"Mu Ya'an, I let you stay here, not so you can eat and drink for free."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an remained calm.

Her gaze fell on Gong Juncheng, her expression indifferent and calm.

"What does Mr. Gong want me to do?"

"do the washing up."

Without a second thought, Gong Juncheng glanced indifferently at Mu Ya'an and then said in a deep voice.

"Clean and wash all these bowls on the table."

Mu Ya'an frowned slightly upon hearing this.

She has never washed the dishes.

Gong Juncheng is making her do these things now, which is clearly a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for her.

She pursed her red lips, suppressing the urge to feel wronged, and calmly looked at Gong Juncheng, saying in a low voice.

"Didn't Mr. Gong say that he let me stay here just so that I could rest, recover from my injuries, and take good care of your members?"

As she spoke, she calmly looked at Gong Juncheng, her expression remaining largely unchanged, and her tone exceptionally natural.

"I've heard that the members of 'Nightmare' are all wealthy and powerful people, and their requirements for auction items must be very high. If I stay here and do all the work of a servant, I'm afraid my injuries will not heal properly and may even become more serious."

Mu Ya'an looked at Gong Juncheng and spoke slowly.

Her expression was remarkably calm, showing no concern whatsoever about angering Gong Juncheng.

Listening to Mu Ya'an's words, Nie Jingchen cautiously glanced at Gong Juncheng's face and saw that Gong Juncheng's expression was extremely ugly.

He remained silent, and the atmosphere around him was unusually tense.

Just as Nie Jingchen was thinking of a topic to ease the atmosphere, he heard Gong Juncheng chuckle coldly, his gaze falling on Mu Ya'an, and he said in a deep voice.

"So you're planning to freeload off me?"

Mu Ya'an pursed her lips, looked up at Gong Juncheng's cold and handsome face, took a deep breath to calm herself down, looked at Gong Juncheng with a calm gaze, and said gently.

"If Mr. Gong wants me to work as a maid, that's not impossible."

As she spoke, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, before she spoke firmly.

"I want to know where Mr. Gong hid my grandfather."

"Otherwise, I would never do these jobs."

Upon hearing this, Gong Juncheng's eyes flashed with a mocking smile. Her gaze fell on Mu Ya'an, and a cold glint appeared in her eyes.

"If you want to know where your grandfather is, you'll have to wait until after the auction."

After Gong Juncheng finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks and glanced indifferently at Mu Ya'an.

"You want to exchange these jobs for your grandfather's whereabouts, Mu Ya'an? Do you think I'd tell you?"

Mu Ya'an was stunned for a moment when she saw Gong Juncheng's heartless appearance. A pang of sadness flashed in her eyes, but she quickly controlled her emotions and held back the tears that were about to well up.

She stood quietly by the dining table, tears wetting her long eyelashes. Her pale, bloodless face gave her a pitiful appearance.

Gong Juncheng's expression changed slightly upon seeing her current state, and he spoke coldly.

"Stop your hypocritical act. I hate it when women play the victim in front of me."

After saying these words, he stopped looking at Mu Ya'an, stood up without hesitation, and walked away with his long, straight legs.

Nie Jingchen glanced at Gong Juncheng's departing figure, then at Mu Ya, and paused for a moment.

As soon as Gong Juncheng left, tears streamed down Mu Ya'an's face.

Nie Jingchen was taken aback; he didn't know how to comfort a girl who was crying.

Seeing Mu Ya'an burst into tears, Nie Jingchen said something extremely awkward.

“Miss Mu, don’t be too sad. That’s just how my older brother is.”

Hearing Nie Jingchen's words, Mu Ya'an wiped her eyes, looked up at Nie Jingchen, took a deep breath, and said in a slightly choked voice.

"I know, I don't blame him."

Nie Jingchen paused upon hearing Mu Ya'an's words.

Gong Juncheng treated her like this, yet she doesn't blame him at all.

Nie Jingchen suddenly couldn't understand the way Gong Juncheng and Mu Ya'an got along.

He glanced at Mu Ya'an, then, as if remembering something, looked at Mu Ya'an and said in a low voice.

“Miss Mu, actually my elder brother is a very good person. The reason he's treating you this way is probably because of something that happened between your families before.”

"If Miss Ruomu still has feelings for my older brother, then she should know how to make a man happy. My older brother is a typical example of someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

Mu Ya'an was stunned when she heard the voice.

Her gaze fell on Nie Jingchen, a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

Nie Jingchen knew that Mu Ya'an must have understood his words, so he only glanced at Mu Ya'an indifferently, then walked past her without looking at her again.

After he went out, he saw Gong Juncheng sitting on the sofa with a cold and sullen expression.

As he walked out, that cold, sharp gaze fell upon him, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"You've had dinner, aren't you going to leave yet?"

Gong Juncheng is essentially telling you to leave.

Nie Jingchen couldn't possibly have failed to understand such a blatant order to leave.

He then gave an awkward smile, picked up his coat from the hanger, and said softly.

"Well then, brother, I'll be going now. The weather in Beicheng is getting colder and colder. Miss Mu is really healthy; she's dressed so lightly, yet she doesn't seem to be shivering at all."

Upon hearing this, Gong Juncheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Nie Jingchen dared not say anything more, gave an awkward smile, and quickly left.

After Nie Jingchen left, Mu Ya'an slowly moved over from the direction of the restaurant.

Gong Juncheng glanced at her and, sure enough, saw that she was wearing a very thin shirt.

Because of her arm injury, her sleeve was rolled up.

She seemed oblivious to the cold as she slowly walked from the restaurant.

Gong Juncheng frowned upon seeing this.

Over the years, the women Gong Juncheng has had the most contact with have been those from "Night Charm".

And the one I heard the most was Gu Moxuan's wife, Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran is very afraid of the cold in winter.

In order to avoid her, Gu Moxuan insisted on covering the entire Sixiang Garden, inside and out, with heated blankets.

Keep the temperature in Sixiang Garden at the level of early summer.

This woman, dressed so thinly and with injuries on her body, doesn't seem to feel the slightest bit cold.

Seeing her walk slowly over, Gong Juncheng glanced at Mu Ya'an indifferently and said in a deep voice.

"The weather in Beicheng is not as good as in H City. If it gets cold, have the servants prepare clothes for you. Don't show off in front of others and make them think I'm abusing you."
