"……no."

".....Well"

The faint resistance was soon drowned out by deeper emotions.

What followed was a beautiful melody that gradually got better and better.

Jiang Xiaochuan knew that there were important matters to be attended to tomorrow, so he did not go all out.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight quietly slipped into the room through the gap in the curtains, Mu Yingzi slowly opened her eyes.

She found that her body seemed to have undergone a subtle transformation.

She looked up and found that the culprit was looking at her with a smile on his face.

"You bad guy."

Mu Yingzi said coquettishly, but there was a hint of sweetness in her tone.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaochuan raised a gentle smile.

He gently held Mu Yingzi's hand and said softly, "I have taken good care of you, otherwise you would not have the strength to speak."

Hearing Jiang Xiaochuan's words, Mu Yingzi's cheeks couldn't help but blush.

However, this shyness did not last long. She suddenly realized that if Jiang Xiaochuan stayed here overnight and was known by Old Lady Mu...

This thought was like a sudden cold wind, which made her feel hopeless.

"Go quickly, don't let anyone see you."

She hurriedly urged Jiang Xiaochuan to leave, with a hint of hope in her voice.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaochuan revealed a strange smile. When he came last night, he was afraid that everyone in the Mu family, young and old, already knew about it.

After a night, it was inevitable that others would find out.

However, in order to take care of Mu Yingzi's feelings, Jiang Xiaochuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, no one will find out. I guarantee it with my character."

When Mu Yingzi heard the word "personality", she immediately rolled her eyes.

If I hadn't believed in Jiang Xiaochuan's character last night, I would never have taken that step.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaochuan chuckled and ruffled Mu Yingzi's hair lovingly.

He stood up and put on his clothes, and before leaving, he did not forget to give Mu Yingzi a light kiss on the forehead.

Mu Yingzi lay alone on the bed, her eyes fixed on the bloodstain on the bed sheet.

She stared in a daze, with mixed emotions welling up in her heart.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

At the same time, the voice of Old Lady Mu came from outside the door.

When Mu Yingzi heard the voice, she couldn't help but feel panicked.

She hurriedly began to "clean up the battlefield", trying to cover up any clues that might reveal her and Jiang Xiaochuan's secret.

After a moment, she took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and opened the door.

Glancing up and down at Mu Yingzi, Old Lady Mu showed a rare satisfied smile.

"Has the uncle left?"

Old Madam Mu's words shocked Mu Yingzi so much that she was completely burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

"Grandma, what are you talking about?"

There was a hint of shyness and uneasiness in Mu Yingzi's words.

"You girl, are you still trying to hide this from me?"

Old Madam Mu looked as if she knew everything.

Seeing this, Mu Yingzi knew she couldn't hide it any longer, and asked anxiously, "Aren't you angry?"

The family tradition of Old Lady Mu has always been strict. Although I am in power now, I still have to listen to her opinions on some matters.

Speaking of this, Old Lady Mu also looked helpless, "That little bastard has been plotting against me for a long time. After I cured you last time, rumors about the two of you spread everywhere. Since I can't control it, let it go."

"Grandma, I..."

Unexpectedly, the always strict grandmother would be so open-minded. Mu Yingzi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old lady Mu, "Girl, you have worked too hard these years, just let him help you."

Recently, Old Lady Mu has noticed the changes in Mu Yingzi.

Since meeting Jiang Xiaochuan, Mu Yingzi has become much more cheerful.

Moreover, in just a few months, Jiang Xiaochuan has grown into a presence that cannot be ignored.

Ever since the death of Grandpa Mu, Old Lady Mu has deeply understood one thing: the Mu family's business cannot be supported by a woman alone.

She fully understands this.

As she spoke, Old Lady Mu took out a crystal clear jade pendant from her bosom.

This jade pendant is the Mu family's heirloom, representing the identity and honor of the head of the family.

She gently placed the jade pendant in Mu Yingzi's hand and said, "Do whatever you want to do. The Mu family is now in your hands."

Mu Yingzi was stunned. She didn't expect her grandmother to let go so easily and hand over all the power of the Mu family and the jade pendant that symbolized the status of the head of the family to her.

Looking at the jade pendant in her hand, Mu Yingzi suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

From this moment on, she truly cut the strings of a puppet and was no longer a tool bound by family rules and expectations.
