Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

Xiao Ruge stretched out her uninjured hand and held Mu Gu's hand, which Mu Gu had not yet had time to withdraw. The latter frowned and tried to pull his hand away.

"Xiao Yu'er, let go, my hands are cold."

Xiao Ruge did not let go, but held it even tighter.

"I know, your hands are cold."

I know your hands are cold, so I'll hold them tighter.

Xiao Ruge's thoughts suddenly echoed Mu Gu's. Mu Gu stared blankly at the person in front of him who was staring at him firmly. For a moment, he could not think of a reason to take his hand back.

Mu Gu just silently felt the warmth coming from his palms, and his heart was also filled with the warmth from Xiao Ruge.

The two of them sat leaning against each other in silence for a long time.

Her wrist was still aching slightly, which made Xiao Ruge unable to temporarily forget the unwillingness and pain in her heart.

"Mu Gu..."

"Ok?"

"When can we ask Doctor Liu to come and see us again?"

Xiao Ruge spoke weakly. She didn't have any hope that Doctor Liu could recover her body, but she had to try before she would really give up.

Mu Gu knew that Xiao Ruge would not be able to let go of these things, and he had been hesitant, so he thought about delaying this matter. In addition, there were too many various things happening during this period of time, so this matter has been delayed until now.

Mu Gu paused for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, he still spoke.

"Doctor Liu is not in Kyoto these few days. How about I ask him to come over when he comes back?"

Xiao Ruge didn't seem to react much when she heard that. Instead, she nodded calmly, then raised her chin slightly, with all kinds of thoughts in her eyes, but they all came down to one thing: loss.

Mu Gu actually thought about whether or not to confess to Xiao Ruge, but in the end he couldn't make up his mind to say it, and maybe he would never say it in the future.

Just allow him to be selfish just this once.

Zhu Chengxi went to Xiao Ruge's residence yesterday, but he only saw the maid beside Xiao Ruge. Naturally, he was unwilling to accept this. He had already made up his mind that if he couldn't see her today, he would go again tomorrow. He didn't believe that he would keep going and not see her even once.

Therefore, early in the morning, Zhu Chengxi finished the work in his hands and went to Xiao Ruge's residence on time. Standing at the door of the mansion, Zhu Chengxi cleared his throat, then straightened his clothes, picked up the door knocker and knocked on it.

"Which one?"

A questioning voice came from inside the mansion. Zhu Chengxi immediately stood up straight and leaned over to shout into the house.

"Zhu Chengxi!"

Soon footsteps were heard inside the mansion, and then the door was pushed open.

Bai Zhi was certainly not surprised to see someone, but she didn't intend to move aside to let the person in.

Zhu Chengxi was about to go in when he found the door was only half open, with the remaining half tightly occupied by Bai Zhi. He couldn't get in even if he wanted to.

"Miss Baizhi, what do you mean?"

Zhu Chengxi has indeed changed a lot. In the past, when faced with such a situation, he would probably just push the person away and curse at them. Now, he seems to be much more polite, or perhaps it is because of Xiao Ruge.

Bai Zhi glanced at the person in front of her calmly, then spoke slowly.

"My lady is not here."

Zhu Chengxi was stunned and somewhat unconvinced.

"Not here again? Is it because Ruge doesn't want to see me? Do you want me to put you off?"

"Why don't you ask your young lady to come out first so we can have a good chat?"

"Don't be so heartless, Ruge!"

……

Bai Zhi scratched her ears speechlessly. Just as Xiao Ruge said, there was no one in the whole of Kyoto, or even in the whole of Qinglong, who was noisier than Zhu Chengxi. It was not until Zhu Chengxi was finally tired of shouting that Bai Zhi finally found the opportunity to speak.

"Our young lady doesn't live here now, but she told me yesterday."

"I will be waiting for Master Zhu at Linglong Pavilion at noon today. I have something to discuss with Master Zhu."

As soon as Bai Zhi finished speaking, the person in front of her immediately turned around and left.

"Thank you Miss Baizhi!"

Bai Zhi shook her head helplessly and then closed the door.

……

Today was just like any other day. Mu Gu left home early in the morning to attend court. As for her meeting with Zhu Chengxi, Mu Gu just told her to be careful.

Therefore, Xiao Ruge arrived at Linglong Pavilion early and used Mu Gu's private room.

Originally, Xiao Ruge thought that maybe Zhu Chengxi was no longer so free and might not come today or might arrive late. Unexpectedly, the door was pushed open just after noon.

The person who walked in made Xiao Ruge's eyes light up.

I don’t know what the lazy and dissolute Zhu Chengxi had experienced. He is completely different from before. He is now dressed neatly and looks like a decent person.

If Zhu Chengxi hadn't spoken, Xiao Ruge would probably have thought that Zhu Chengxi might have been deeply traumatized by the death of both his parents, and had undergone a drastic change from the inside out.

But when Zhu Chengxi saw her speak, Xiao Ruge couldn't help but be speechless.

This is no different than the guy before.

"Ruge, long time no see!"

Xiao Ruge nodded awkwardly, then raised her hand.

"You sit first."

Zhu Chengxi walked to the chair opposite Xiao Ruge with a smile on his face, sat down, and just looked at him with a smile.

For a moment, Xiao Ruge had already gone over countless words of comfort in her mind at the beginning, but she forgot them all in an instant. However, she still had to follow the etiquette, so Xiao Ruge could only bite the bullet and speak.

"Well, Master Zhu, please accept my condolences."

"Ah? Oh! Are you talking about my parents? I wasn't that sad at first, but at that time, there was no one to take on the responsibility at home, so I had to take it on."

Xiao Ruge was a little slow to react for a moment. What did she mean by "I wasn't that sad to begin with"? Both her parents passed away, so wouldn't she be sad?

Seeing Xiao Ruge's puzzled look, Zhu Chengxi seemed to realize that what he said was indeed a little difficult to understand, so he quickly began to explain.

"It's like this. I didn't have much affection for my parents. I only saw them a few times a year. My grandmother brought me up."

"It's just that I didn't learn anything before. Now that I have to become the head of the Zhu family, I have to learn everything, so I stay indoors."

Having said this, Zhu Chengxi couldn't help but look bitter, and then he spoke.

"Actually, it's fine on weekdays, but there are always a few old guys in the court who always want to take over the Zhu family while I'm still unsuccessful."

"I've been driven crazy by those old foxes these days..."

"So, Ruge, besides wanting to reminisce with you, I also want to ask you if you can help me."
