Mu Anxiao watched Song Xu’s angry expression with composure, then glanced at the speechless doorkeeper, and said, "Since you want to come in, then come in. It's only this once, don't do this again." After speaking, she glanced at the doorkeeper and entered.
Song Xu felt Mu Anxiao's words were unpleasant. Clenching his fists, he didn't even look at the doorkeeper before directly entering.
However, the doorkeeper knew nothing about their affairs, so he simply closed the door again without thinking.
Inside, Mu Anxiao deliberately quickened her pace.
Seeing this, Song Xu deliberately sped up and caught up with Mu Anxiao. "Do you dislike me?" he asked, following closely behind her.
Hearing Song Xu's words, Mu Anxiao immediately stopped.
The next second, Song Xu hurriedly braked, relieved, and said, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?" As he spoke, he lowered his head, looked at the distance between himself and Mu Anxiao, and quickly stepped back two paces.
Mu Anxiao curled her lips, forgetting her surroundings, and turned to face Song Xu directly. "Instead of going back to prepare the betrothal gifts, you came here to whine. Song Xu," she tilted her head back, looking intently at him, "you're really something."
"Don't stir up trouble. It's impossible between Ah Chu and me," Song Xu said agitatedly.
"Whether it's possible between you and Ah Chu or not has nothing to do with me. I just feel," Mu Anxiao said, scanning Song Xu from head to toe, "that it's not good to treat a woman like this."
"What do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is..." Mu Anxiao stopped midway, suddenly realizing that she absolutely could not tell Song Xu to clarify things with Ah Chu too directly. If he really went, and Ah Chu didn't listen, he would definitely betray her immediately. Then Ah Chu would surely be angry. Thinking of this, she withdrew her original thought and said, "I think Ah Chu is quite good."
"She's quite good, then you be good with her," Song Xu said, agitated.
Mu Anxiao shook her head. "I can't. I can't be good with her."
"You know you can't, then I can. Cao Gen, don't make things sound so simple. There are some things you just don't understand."
"How do I not understand? It's just asking you to marry her. Why is it so difficult for you? If you ask me, you'll marry other girls in the future anyway, so even if you marry her, you won't lose out," Mu Anxiao deliberately started speaking up for Ah Chu. This way, if Song Xu went to Ah Chu, he wouldn't be able to implicate her.
"What you're saying is too simple."
"You're the young master anyway, you can marry as many as you want. What are you afraid of?" Mu Anxiao said, not at all considering Song Xu's perspective.
Song Xu's face fell.
Seeing Song Xu's displeased expression, Mu Anxiao deliberately said, "What, am I wrong?" she said, staring intently at Song Xu's face, "If you ask me, you like Ah Chu too, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't like her at all."
"You don't like her," Mu Anxiao sneered. "Don't pretend. If you didn't like her, would you keep going to that place? Aren't you looking for her there? What, are you embarrassed now?"
"Who says I'm looking for her? If you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for turning hostile."
"This is Shen Moyun's residence. If you do anything to me, Shen Moyun will deal with you first. Think carefully," Mu Anxiao said deliberately.
Song Xu's expression stiffened. "Cao Gen, don't try to threaten me with Brother Shen. This is between you and me, it has nothing to do with him."
"If I die here, then it will have something to do with him. This is his residence."
"Who says you're going to die?" Song Xu retorted.
Mu Anxiao smiled. "You've said it to that extent, implying you want to kill me, and now you're pretending to be stupid," she said, looking around. "Song Xu, you really are something."
"You've misunderstood my meaning," Song Xu said faintly.
Mu Anxiao sneered.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's dismissive look, Song Xu became angry. "Cao Gen, if you like Ah Chu, then go find Ah Chu. I'm not stopping you. Do you have to pretend to be kind here?"
"How am I pretending to be kind? I just feel that you're particularly bad like this. Ah Chu is such a good girl, how can you not like her? You..."
"She's dirty," Song Xu blurted out impulsively.
Mu Anxiao froze upon hearing this.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's frozen expression, Song Xu took a deep breath and said, "That kind of woman, she's not even human. She's just a plaything, and once I'm done playing, I can discard her. So," he reached out and placed his hand on Mu Anxiao's shoulder, "don't take it too seriously. Ah Chu only cares about my money. That kind of woman is not worth your attention, you idiot."
Although Ah Chu was a demon, Ah Chu was also a woman.
Originally, Mu Anxiao didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs, but hearing Song Xu say that now, she felt an inexplicable surge of anger. "Are you clean?" she blurted out.
Song Xu stiffened. "What do you mean by that?"
"You're clean, yet you go to that kind of place. Song Xu, if I had the ability, I would definitely let you taste death." Mu Anxiao said, forcefully pushing away Song Xu's hand from her shoulder.
Song Xu paused for a moment and said, "Cao Gen, you're going too far with your words. It's just a woman, is it worth you acting like this?" He lowered his head and looked at his hand.
"The way you treat them today, you'll face retribution tomorrow," Mu Anxiao said with complete seriousness. "I advise you to restrain yourself."
"You..."
"This is my advice to you because you've offended someone extraordinary," Mu Anxiao said this because of Song Xu's irresponsible remark.
Afterwards, Song Xu pondered Mu Anxiao's words carefully and said, "You wait and see." He then pointed at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao was unfazed and moved aside.
Unexpectedly, at that very moment, Liu Ye suddenly appeared. "Cao Gen, I heard the general beat you. Are you alright?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned her head and was stunned.
Seeing Liu Ye, whom he had never seen before, Song Xu glanced at her and asked, "Girl, what do you mean by saying she was beaten?" After asking, he glanced at Mu Anxiao.
The next second, Liu Ye stopped between Song Xu and Mu Anxiao and retorted, "Who are you?" She looked up and stared at Song Xu.
Seeing Liu Ye's unworldly expression, Song Xu smiled. "I'm your General's good brother." As he spoke, he reached out to help Liu Ye's shoulder.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao immediately pulled Liu Ye away and said, "You're asking too much." She glared angrily at Song Xu.
Song Xu lowered his hand, deliberately ignoring Mu Anxiao, and asked Liu Ye, "Girl, why was she beaten?" He stared at Liu Ye.
Liu Ye pursed her lips and said nothing.
