Burned Vows
Xia Qingkong went to change clothes, not putting down the dress until she reached her room. The cut was neat and tidy. The servant was about to take the dress, but Xia Qingkong stopped her. "Keep the clothes. Throw them away." Yes, she had cut the belt herself. Originally, Xia Qingchuan had just accidentally cut one strap when she came in. So, she might as well cut them all. Didn't she want this result? Xia Qingkong would add more fuel to the fire. Xia Qingchuan kept explaining that it wasn't her, but she couldn't say that she had only cut one strap. She had a bitter taste in her mouth but couldn't speak out. Xia Zhenghua glared at her and took Mu Chenhao to the living room first. When Xia Qingkong came downstairs after changing her clothes, Xia Zhenghua and his wife and others were already seated. Xia Qingchuan leaned close to Mu Chenhao, eagerly setting the tableware. Shen Miaoyu looked at her daughter's initiative and did not object, with a posture that seemed to say, 'He's a good man, you should make your move quickly.' "Please have some tea, Young Master Mu." "Please have some fruit, Young Master Mu." Mu Chenhao was always indifferent, and Xia Zhenghua's frown deepened. "Sister Qingchuan is really diligent. If one didn't know better, they'd think that the Xia family had a beautiful little maid!" Xia Qingkong sat opposite Mu Chenhao, who still had an icy face, as if everyone owed him millions. "What are you talking about, sister? When there's an important guest at home, of course, we should serve them warmly." Xia Qingchuan said shyly, unable to hide the smile on her face. "Don't jest."
Xia Zhenghua smiled awkwardly. Mu Chenhao watched the actions of this family with an expressionless face, except for Xia Qingkong sitting opposite, who was wholeheartedly sipping her soup, not even glancing at Mu Chenhao. 'Did the young mistress have fun last night?' After a while, Mu Chenhao spoke, his face carrying three parts mockery and seven parts sarcasm. Cough— Xia Qingkong almost choked on the soup, barely managed to regain her composure, and looked up at Mu Chenhao with displeasure. 'Happy,' Xia Qingkong replied quickly, seeing Shen Miaoyu's smug expression, and then continued to lower her head. Mu Chenhao disliked her, the mockery and disgust on his face were not obvious, but she wasn't blind. Was it because he was a powerful young master from the demon capital? What was so great about that? Did he really think that every woman wanted to seduce him and climb into his bed? Thinking of this, Xia Qingkong curled the corners of her mouth and secretly gave Mu Chenhao, who was bowing his head, a roll of her eyes. Suddenly, as if she had a good idea, Xia Qingkong stretched out her leg, and her high heel fiercely crushed his leather shoe. Mu Chenhao did not feel the pain, but the sudden attack caught him off guard, knocking over the red wine glass beside him, and the crimson wine spilled onto his high-end custom-made suit. 'I'm very sorry, it was not intentional.' Xia Qingkong lazily retracted her leg and then falsely showed a worried smile to wipe Mu Chenhao. 'Xia Qingkong, you really are a country girl, stretching your legs at the table without any image!'
Xia Qingchuan saw Mu Chenhao frown and immediately shouted at Xia Qingkong in anger. "Yes, I am just a country girl, accustomed to eating freely, without all the rules of your wealthy family." Xia Qingchuan was about to lose her temper, but was stopped by Xia Zhenghua. "Qingkong, take Young Master Mu to get cleaned up." Xia Qingkong pouted impatiently and led Mu Chenhao away. Xia Qingchuan jumped up from her seat, ready to follow, but was stopped by a glare from Xia Zhenghua. Xia Qingchuan was furious and stamped her foot in frustration. "Dad, let me go. Sister is just a clumsy wild girl. If she upsets Young Master Mu later, it won't be good." "Qingchuan, you must remember that it is your sister Xia Qingkong who is engaged to him." Xia Zhenghua couldn't tell if he was happy or worried and sighed heavily. Xia Qingkong took off Mu Chenhao's suit, handed the dirty clothes to the servant, and then prepared to leave. But she was pulled back by Mu Chenhao, who grabbed the back of her clothes. "What are you doing?" "Miss Xia, to get my attention, you sent people to seduce me, pretended to be a waiter to tempt me, and now you're looking for opportunities to be alone with me. I really underestimated you." The ghost wants to be alone with him, Xia Qingkong was furious when she heard this! "I've explained it to you how many times, I'm just a waiter at Crown, I walked into the wrong room!" "The great Miss Xia, working as a waiter in an entertainment club." Xia Qingkong rubbed her head, feeling that her whole body was full of anger, especially since this man was so unreasonable, it was so infuriating! "I'm telling you for the last time, we have nothing to do with each other!"
As Xia Qingkong spoke, she suddenlyI shook off Mu Chenhao and grabbed my hand,Turn your head and leave。 "Who said we have no relationship?" Xia Qingkong forcibly held back the rage in her heart, took a deep breath, and managed to suppress the urge to beat up this man. Then she turned her head and squeezed out an innocent and naive smile. "What relationship, Young Master Mu?" Seeing that she was obviously furious but still put on a smiling face, the feeling of disgust in Mu Chenhao's heart surged again. He had seen many women like this, one set of behavior on the surface, another behind the scenes. "Didn't your family tell you about the arranged marriage?" Xia Qingkong was taken aback. An arranged marriage, between the Xia family and the Mu family? Could it be that Mu Chenhao was supposed to be happily married to Xia Qingchuan for business reasons? No wonder Xia Qingchuan was so eager! "Oh, okay brother-in-law. Goodbye brother-in-law." Xia Qingchuan bowed politely with a fake smile and then prepared to leave. "You should call me husband." Xia Qingkong, who had turned around,Without a doubt, I received a bolt from the blue。 received a bolt from the blueWithout a doubt, I received a bolt from the blue。 The arranged marriage was between her and Mu Chenhao? Impossible! "This joke isn't funny at all. Isn't it the precious second young lady of the Xia family who calls you husband?" Xia Qingkong sneered, no longer pretending. Such a cold-blooded and vicious face was probably her true self. Last night at the Crown, she pretended to be a virtuous woman, and just now, she played the part of an innocent victim. "It seems you've put in a lot of effort to get my attention."
Knowing full well that he was dissatisfied with this arranged marriage, she had repeatedly resorted to all sorts of schemes. But now, his true colors were finally showing. Xia Qingkong was stunned. What was he talking about? She had been an ordinary person struggling for a living before, and if it weren't for the Xia family suddenly coming to find her, she wouldn't have known she had a wealthy father.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. I've already explained everything clearly..."
"Keep acting, Xia Qingkong. I'm waiting to see your ugly side in front of everyone," Mu Chenhao interrupted her, brushing past her and walking away.
Xia Qingkong stood there frozen, and when she came to her senses, she pointed at Mu Chenhao's retreating figure, hopping mad but unable to utter a word! This despicable, shameless scoundrel!
Xia Qingkong returned to the dining table, fuming with anger, trying her best to remain calm and prepare to reason with Xia Zhenghua. Who knew that Xia Zhenghua would speak first.
"Master Mu came this time to take Xia Qingkong back to the Mu family for the engagement."
Xia Qingkong was speechless, stiffly turning her neck to look at Mu Chenhao, seeing that his expression was still cold and distant, as if the argument just now had never happened...
