Mu Ru did not know for how long the car had been driving because after her head was covered in a black cloth bag, she was made to smell something strange, and it immediately put her to sleep.
When she opened her heavy eyelids again, she quickly scanned her surroundings. She was in an unfamiliar place. It was a place she had never been to before. It was not familiar to her at all, and nothing there reminded her of anything that could help her guess where she was.
For all her nineteen years, Mu Ru had only stayed in four rooms. The first room she had ever known was Mother Wang's room, where she had stayed for more than eighteen years.
She also had a bedroom on the third floor of the Xi family home. She had stayed there for only three months, and that was when Xi Yuancheng asked her to move in after he found out that she had topped the college entrance examination.
The third room was her new room with Dongfang Mo. It was her room on the second floor of the Dongfang family home.
The fourth room was also in the Dongfang family home, but it was different from all the other rooms. It was the confinement room, where she had spent many nights in isolation.
She was in a room that was neither big nor small. She assumed it was a bedroom because she was lying on the bed, and she saw a dressing table as well.
She panicked and felt that something was wrong. Just as she was about to get up, someone had opened the door, and a young man in a suit and tie walked in.
At a glance, she knew who it was. It was none other than Nangong Xun, who had been to the Dongfang family home twenty days prior to ask Dongfang Mo for her hand in marriage.
'Nangong Xun? Why is he here? Where is this place? Is this Nangong Xun's home?' Mu Ru thought.
Mu Ru was shocked and hurriedly got up from the bed. However, because she had moved a little fast and there was a tatami in front of the bed, she lost her footing and almost fell to the ground.
"Be careful." Nangong Xun quickly helped Mu Ru, who was leaning forward. Then, he smiled and helped her sit down on the sofa.
Mu Ru didn't dare to sit down. She stood up and looked at Nangong Xun. Nervously, she asked, "Mr. Nangong, did you bring me here?"
Actually, she wanted to ask him if he was the one who had her kidnapped. However, she didn't want to sound so harsh.
"I'm the one who kidnapped you," Nangong Xun answered truthfully. When he saw Mu Ru's nervous expression, he smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. Besides, weren't we engaged before? You were supposed to be my wife, so it's not surprising that you're here at my place."
"But I'm already married to Dongfang Mo," Xi Muru said. She continued, "Mr. Nangong, I know that it was indeed wrong for the Xi family to break off our engagement without informing you, but hasn't this been settled already? My father already gave you two hundred million. What else do you want—"
"I didn't ask for two hundred million," Nangong Xun quickly said to Mu Ru. He continued, "Mu Ru, do you think I'm short of two hundred million? Do you think that I, Nangong Xun, will sell my fiancee for two hundred million?"
