“What’s the problem with me watching my fiancée eat?” Mu Chenhao retorted. “Who said she's your fiancée? Marry whoever you want.” “Tsk tsk tsk, Miss Xia, playing hard to get is really not a bad move. Deliberately making noise to lure me here, then cooking in the kitchen? Pretending to be a virtuous wife and good mother? Huh?” Mu Chenhao stroked his chin, a sarcastic smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and his sharp, clear eyes also revealed a hint of disgust. He was increasingly unable to fathom what kind of tricks this woman was playing. Playing hard to get? Deliberately making noise? Was it about the flowerpot she accidentally kicked over? At this moment, only a few words jumped into Qingkong’s mind: Are you crazy? Feeling indignant, Qingkong couldn't help but grab the collar of Mu Chenhao's shirt, “Mu Chenhao, can you stop being so arrogant? I’m hungry, is it not okay for me to come to the kitchen to find something to eat?” Mu Chenhao grabbed Xia Qingkong’s hand in return, then with a sweep of his arm, pulled Xia Qingkong entirely into his embrace. A flirtatious breath came from beside her ear, Mu Chenhao’s breath brushing against Qingkong's ear. Qingkong struggled to break free, but how could a girl’s strength possibly extricate herself. She really felt that Mu Chenhao was bullying her, addicted to it. “Let me go, what are you doing?! In broad daylight! Harassing a virtuous young lady!” Qingkong shouted while desperately trying to break free from Mu Chenhao’s embrace. “In broad daylight? Virtuous young lady? You?”

“To be able to appear in a place like Crown, and you say you're a virtuous girl... I really don't believe it...” Qingsky was truly infuriated. She sensed a dangerous aura; it seemed that Mu Chenhao was up to something in the kitchen with her. With a sudden burst of strength she didn't know she had, she pushed Mu Chenhao away fiercely and then ran back to her room without looking back. Fearing that Mu Chenhao would follow her, she locked the door tightly. Thinking about being engaged to such a detestable person, Qingsky really felt a headache coming on. However, she was tired from the day's events, and after taking a bath, she lay down on the warm and comfortable princess bed, quickly drifting into sweet dreams. The next morning, Xia Qingsky was still dreaming when she was awakened by a servant. Seeing the servant's enlarged face appear in front of her, she was startled. She... had locked the door last night, hadn't she? How could they still get in... “Miss, it's time to get up. After we help you dress, you should go down for breakfast, and then Young Master Mu will take you home.”

The servant smiled and said to Xia Qingchuan. Xia Qingkong rubbed her somewhat painful head. For revenge, she had no choice. After all, it was only an engagement with Mu Chenhao, not a real marriage. Once the rice is cooked, just drag it out, drag it until the Xia family rises again, and the mystery of her mother's death is solved... When the Xia family grows strong again, Qingkong will be able to break off the engagement with full confidence! The servant helped Qingkong dress, and after Qingkong finished washing up, she went downstairs. In the dining room downstairs, Xia Zhenghua, Shen Miaoyu, and Xia Qingchuan were already in their seats. Even Mu Chenhao was already seated, and breakfast had been placed on the table, but apart from Mu Chenhao, no one else had started eating. Seeing Qingkong come downstairs, Xia Zhenghua's face broke into a smile. 'Qingkong, you're down, come and have breakfast quickly. After breakfast, you have to go back to the Mu family with Young Master Mu.' Qingkong really wanted to roll her eyes. Her father was really something, did he have to remind her of this matter all the time? 'Qingkong sister, are you too slow? Don't you see the whole family waiting for you to have breakfast? Such a child without home education, completely lacking a sense of time.' Before Qingkong could speak, Xia Qingchuan's sarcastic words came again, like a spear and a short run. Shen Miaoyu smiled and patted Xia Qingchuan's hand, pretending to scold lightly, 'Qingchuan, how can you speak to your sister like that? She is about to marry into the Mu family. As the saying goes, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, after that, it will be difficult for you to talk to her.'

Shen Miaoyu's meaning was clear to Qingkong. With Qingkong getting married, wouldn't there only be Miss Qingchuan left in the family? Then, with Shen Miaoyu whispering in her husband's ear, and Qingchuan having always lived with Xia Zhenghua, who doted on her in every way, it was possible that in a few days, she would forget she even had another daughter like herself. And she, Xia Qingkong, would become nothing more than a tool for the Xia family's marriage alliance. If it weren't for Shen Miaoyu sending people to kill her, Qingkong might have just let it go and not returned to the Xia family to compete with this mother and daughter. But now, Xia Qingkong would absolutely not let Shen Miaoyu off. Her foster mother had always been healthy before, and it was very strange that she fell seriously ill. Qingkong would find out everything that had happened during this period. "Yes, it's a pity my mother died early. I'll have to rely on auntie to take care of dad from now on," Qingkong said, tears starting to well up in her eyes, which made Xia Zhenghua feel somewhat heartache. Xia Zhenghua chastised, "Miaoyu, how can you talk like that? Qingchuan may not understand, but don't you? After Qingkong marries into the Mu family, she can come back to the Xia family anytime." Shen Miaoyu's face turned pale from Xia Zhenghua's scolding, but she dared not say much more. Xia Zhenghua was still the head of this household. "Really? Thank you, dad."

Qingkong pretended to be very surprised, snuggling up to Xia Zhenghua's arm and rubbing against it, reigniting the affection in Xia Zhenghua's heart. He indeed felt that, over the years, he had wronged this daughter who had been lost to the outside world. ... Mu Chenhao leaned against the chair beside the dining table, elegantly having breakfast while listening to Qingkong's 'performance', a smile involuntarily curling up at the corner of his mouth, his clear and profound eyes also staring at Qingkong for a long time. This woman... quite interesting... a bit clever, with a prickly aura, like a little hedgehog, yet she pretends to be a little white rabbit here. After breakfast, the person sent by the Mu family to pick up Qingkong and Mu Chenhao also arrived. The person was a very handsome young man, not old but looking very serious, standing at the door very respectfully, saying, 'Young Master, Miss Xia, it's getting late, we should head home, the master is still waiting for you at home.' Mu Chenhao nodded, 'Hmm, then we shall take our leave.' Xia Qingkong was about to return to the Mu family with Mu Chenhao. Although she didn't want to go to the Mu family, it was better than staying at the Xia family and watching this pair of disgusting mother and daughter. At the entrance of the Xia family's villa area, a black Mercedes S600 was parked, followed by a row of Mercedes vehicles. ... After a glance, Qingkong's eyes twitched. The S600 is a bulletproof car, a luxury sedan of the Mercedes S-Class. If Qingkong remembered correctly... this car is something that only world political and business leaders could own.
