"If it wasn't for me saving you from the lake, you would have drowned long ago!" Murong Cheng looked at her with a cold smile, "What, this is how you thank your savior?"
Mu Zi returned to her senses, realizing that MuLing was talking about Mu Ling pushing her into the artificial lake, and at that time, it was indeed MuLing who saved her.
But she mistakenly thought ...
Mistakenly thought that ...
Mu Zi was stunned, the whole person was dumbfounded.
Murong Cheng let go of her, turned around and picked up the necklace on the ground, and reclasped it around Mu Zi's neck.
The cold touch made Mu Zi shiver, she was chilled in her heart, as if what she was wearing around her neck was not a necklace, but a collar, a set of locks! Symbolizing humiliation and degradation!
"I don't want to wear it! I hate necklaces!" Mu Zi's emotions spiraled out of control as she violently grabbed the necklace around her neck and threw it out viciously!
The necklace was ripped off, and the moment it was thrown, it scraped a fishy red bloodstain across her snow-white neck, shocking to the eyes.
Murong Cheng's breath stuttered, his heart aching beyond measure.
His anger all but disappeared, only heartache remained, holding Mu Zi and drinking, "Are you crazy? Don't you know it hurts!"
Mu Zi closed her eyes, tears fell silently, "I hate necklaces ..."
Murong Cheng saw her like this, his heart was both painful and annoyed and furious, he couldn't bear to be angry at her anymore, he got up and went to rummage through the medicine box, took the ointment gauze and came back to give Mu Zi medicine.
Seeing her crying in a miserable manner, the fire had long since disappeared without a trace.
"Don't want the necklace, then what do you want?" While stopping her bleeding and medicating her, he asked softly, his tone as if he was coaxing a child gently, "... ring, bracelet, earrings?"
"As long as it's from you, I don't want all of them." Mu Zi tone coolly returned.
"Zi Zi, are you gambling with me?" Murong Cheng's mood inexplicably turned better, his thin lips hooked up in a wicked smile, "But I just want to send you, what should I do?"
Mu Zi opened her eyes, her eyes that have cried are reddened, although she has collected her tears, her pupils are still covered with watery light, clear and bright, broken awns are full.
"Murong Cheng." She called his name very seriously, "You should give it to your fiancée."
Murong Cheng's expression stiffened for a moment.
He frowned and continued to apply the ointment a little bit to her injury, "Who told you that?"
Mu Zi pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
"Heard it from the Gu family?" Murong Cheng guesses.
The outside world only thinks that the Huo family's family head is called Huo Rong, but the people of the four great families know very well that his family head's surname, Huo, is not in the right name.
Murong Cheng puts on the medicine for Mu Zi, arranges the lapel collar and fastens the buttons, then sits on the single sofa on Mu Zi's side and picks up the half smoked cigarette from earlier.
He took a drag and slowly exhaled the smoke, his expression was obscure in the mist, somewhat solemn and somewhat cold.
"I do have a fiancée." He said, "But that's a cooperation of interests, involving the Huo family's family affairs, originally didn't want to tell you."
Mu Zi felt a cool chill in her heart ...
A bone-chilling chill spreads along her limbs and bones, freezing her to the point where she almost trembles.
He admitted it.
He had a fiancée.
No matter what excuse it was based on, it could not change the fact that he had a fiancée.
Mu Zi suddenly felt nauseous!
She was so sick that she wanted to gag!
"Does she know about me?" Mu Zi asked, her voice indistinct, like a ghost in the cold night, with a chilling air.
Murong Cheng frowned and asked, "Who?"
"Your fiancée."
"Zi Zi, what's between the two of us has nothing to do with her." Murong Cheng pulls her hand over and holds it in his palm, earnestly and clearly telling her, "It was expedient that she would be engaged to her in the first place, involving the stakes within the Huo family, she has her own lover, and sooner or later our engagement will be broken."
