"Young Master Yu!" Li Linglong chased after him, her face deathly pale. Li Shaobai blocked their path and sneered, "Still want to die even more miserably?"
Fang Tiantian, however, was not as panicked as she was. She said, "Princess Mo will protect us; Young Master Yu won't oppose Princess Mo."
Li Shaobai looked at her and, with a cold laugh, turned and left.
Gu Wenjuan had never experienced the feeling of being protected like this. His sudden appearance was like a beam of warm light, shining on her heart.
Gu Wenjuan looked up at Yu Siqiao and said with gratitude, "Thank you, Young Master Yu."
Yu Siqiao responded indifferently.
Li Shaobai came out and immediately spotted the disheveled Gu Wenjuan. Wanting to lighten the mood, he teased, "Good thing you're smart and thought to find someone to call for Young Master Yu's help. Otherwise, you would have really been skinned alive today!"
Tears streaked Gu Wenjuan's embarrassed face. Hearing this, she was stunned. "But I didn't call for help..."
Li Shaobai was taken aback. "Didn't you ask this waiter to find Si Qiao...?"
A look of confusion crossed Gu Wenjuan's face.
Yu Siqiao furrowed his eyebrows deeply, his ice-cold gaze sweeping towards the silently standing waiter, "Who asked you to find me?"
The waiter, trembling under Yu Siqiao's gaze, stammered, "It was… Princess Mo who told me to say that..."
Yu Siqiao clenched his teeth, his muscles twisting, "That woman again!"
Li Shaobai said in puzzlement, "That doesn't make sense. Mo Shu isn't stupid. She bullied Miss Gu and then sent someone to tip us off. What's her aim?"
Yu Siqiao scoffed, "Trying to play me!"
As the group moved further away, all of a sudden, Yu Siqiao clearly felt a gaze on his back, watching him.
He turned his head and looked towards the open rooftop. Indeed, he caught sight of Mo Shu standing at the railing.
Mo Shu was startled by his gaze, cold as a fierce beast.
That look was as if he wished to tear her apart and devour her alive!
Mo Shu took a step back, unsettled.
Downstairs, Yu Siqiao's oppressive aura dipped several degrees, his icy presence causing everyone present to shiver and not dare to approach.
Li Shaobai also looked up, but before he could see anything, he heard Yu Siqiao say, "You escort Miss Gu back."
Immediately after, Yu Siqiao quickly walked up the staircase.
On the rooftop, Mo Shu sat on the couch, patting her chest in fear and thought to herself, "Turns out all the descriptions in novels are true. That was freaking terrifying!"
Sao Zha: [There's something even more terrifying.]
"What?"
Before Sao Zha could reply, Mo Shu heard the sound of steady footsteps.
Greatly alarmed, she turned around, and the man who had just heroically come to the rescue below was now standing before her, his face dark and thunderous!
Upon seeing Mo Shu for the first time, Yu Siqiao's pupils slightly contracted.
The bright moonlight, along with the lights, shone on the surroundings, causing flowers to sway and stars to scatter across the sky. Everything was unbearably beautiful.
What drew the eye even more was her fair skin, glowing luminously against the sparkling red diamond starlight dress, as if bathed in a holy halo under the moonlight—like a Moonlight Fairy, silently descending upon the mortal world.
Her stunning beauty blossomed quietly in his heart, a captivating charm that, for a moment, made him forget his anger.
Seeing him, Mo Shu's heart began to pound, and she stood up from the couch, step by step retreating.
But the high heels were too tall, and Mo Shu, not knowing what she had stepped on, suddenly lost her balance and fell backward fiercely.
