LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 7: Chapter 7; What did you just call me?
"What did you just call me? Don't bring those dirty claws of yours closer to me." He had felt that tight grip on his shirt when Zhou Xiajong got closer, and after kicking her away, he felt that grip loosen, and those tiny fingers, in a feathery manner, tickled him across his chest.
He was amused with her little antics.
"Aarr..." She hadn't expected that he would kick her away just like that, and he was so brutal that she knocked against the back of the couch roughly and she painfully groaned. Her forehead had a slight cut and it was bleeding.
"Xiajong..." Her father and siblings rushed over to see how she was.
"Brother..." Mu Shuang was surprised by his brother's actions. Of course, they weren't that close to each other, but she was still his niece! Couldn't he be gentle? She gazed at that girl lying in his arms, sleeping soundly, and anger fueled deeply in her heart.
Mu Shuang was adopted by the Mu family at the age of ten by the Mu couple as they were finding it difficult to conceive, but after several years, they managed to conceive Mu Yunchen, which didn't settle well with Mu Shuang as she had thought she would be the only heir but was disappointed when Mu Yunchen was chosen as the heir, he does support her as much as he can but she has always hated him, they never related to each other in any way and the way she was always gentle to him trying to please him felt weird.
Author; Hehehe, what if she had fallen in love with Mu Yunchen years ago?
"Call me Third Master Mu; don't call me the wrong names again... Yuxi, where is your bedroom?" He warmly gazed at those closed eyes inquiring. Hearing he wanted to take her over to her bedroom, she snapped her eyes open surprised. This wasn't the time to hide in his chest.
"Uncle, you don't have to take me there, I can walk there all by myself!" Her bedroom? She didn't dare show him at all! It was a total embarrassment; she had embarrassed herself enough for today; no way she was going to let him see her bedroom.
"Are you hiding something in there that I ain't supposed to see? mnnh?" His voice was low and gentle speaking to Zhou Yuxi. The other family members had rushed over to get hold of Zhou Xiajong, picking her up from the floor while gazing at Third Master Mu, who was being tender to Zhou Yuxi.
Why wasn't he tender to Zhou Xiajong as he was to Zhou Yuxi? How special was Zhou Yuxi?
They didn't dare question Third Master Mu's reasons, he seemed to be angry and they didn't dare question him for his actions as they were bound to lose more than benefiting from him. Their family's prosperity heavily depended on him.
"Third Master Mu, you don't have to escort her there; we will take care of the rest! You will be late for your flight." Mu Shuang was truly angered and wondered what kind of terrible news Zhou Yuxi had fed her brother. She venomously glared at Zhou Yuxi and Mu Yunchen immediately turned around and coldly glared at her.
Was she trying to intimidate Zhou Yuxi in his presence? She dared to?
"To the left side..." Zhou Yuxi could only sigh! This man didn't seem like he would let her walk, anyway; it was time he saw everything, scolded her, and then started a new pact.
With the directions he was being given, he immediately frowned following the dark corridor over to a room that was isolated and near the garbage bins that were stinking.
He opened the door and looked inside, and his frown immediately deepened further; on the floor laid a two-inch mattress with a tiny blanket that couldn't warm any human body and looked a bit worn out.
