However...
"Woman, you are too ugly. I cannot convince myself to lay my hands on you!"
A cold voice drifted over from the top of her head. She felt a sharp pain as the hair on her forehead was pulled back.
"Ah!"
Mu Ru could not help but let out a groan from the pain. When she opened her eyes, she realized that Dongfang Mo was lifting up the thick bangs on her forehead. He had a cold and dark expression. On her forehead, there was a greenish-purple birthmark, which was shaped like a crescent moon.
"Let go, that hurts!"
Mu Ru pried his hand away, but could not look directly into his eyes.
"Where's Xi Muxue?"
Dongfang Mo's cold face was filled with suppressed anger. The flames in his eyes were enough to burn this shameless woman to death. His hands gripped her neck tightly and he growled,
"Tell me, where did you hide Xi Muxue?"
"I'm Xi Muxue."
She steadfastly refused to admit that she was a substitute.
"Hmph, you're testing my eyesight, aren't you? You look very similar to Xi Muxue and your voice is almost the same as hers, but... "
The man mocked her as he poked her birthmark with his finger.
"It's not like I've never seen Xi Muxue before. When did she grow such an ugly birthmark on her forehead?"
"This isn't a birthmark."
Mu Ru quickly defended herself.
"This is a scar from the car accident I was in last year. A piece of scalding hot broken glass struck my forehead, leaving this mark."
Mu Ru followed the lines that she had prepared. It did not matter whether the groom believed her or not. As long as she refused to admit that she was a substitute, she thought, there was nothing he would be able to do about it.
Slap!
The angry groom had used all his strength to slap Mu Ru. She was knocked off the bed and rolled down to the floor.
Five fingers were clearly imprinted on her fair cheeks. It was as if the five fingers mountain had flown directly onto her face. Her lip had split, and blood seeped out. Her face was like that of the pig, Zhu Bajie.
"Where is Xi Muxue?"
Dongfang Mo's cold voice to rang out sternly. His looked as if he wanted to swallow Mu Ru whole.
This woman was so bold. She dared to pretend to be Xi Muxue to marry him. His kind and cute Xi Muxue must have been kidnapped by this woman and hidden somewhere.
Mu Ru's acting skills were very good, and her lines would have believable, had it not been that Dongfang Mo had been in the very car accident she described. The moment the car was hit, he had pushed Xi Muxue out of the car, so she could not have been struck on the forehead by broken glass. Did Mu Ru truly think that he, Dongfang Mo, would be so easy to fool? She wanted to pretend to be his fiancée, but she had made a stupid error.
Mu Ru held her burning cheek with one hand and grabbed the edge of the bed with the other. She struggled to stand up and gritted her teeth to endure the pain. Tears welled up in her eyes as she finally understood Dongfang Mo's cruelty.
