Even so, this time, Qi Chengzhi had to forcefully pull Mu Sisi’s hands away. Without even turning his head back, he threw her to the ground.

Mu Sisi was violently shoved by Qi Chengzhi. She stumbled backward and fell onto the rug.

Qi Chengzhi did not look back. He strode towards the door, opened it, and walked out. Mu Sisi got up, wanting to give chase, but suddenly remembered that she was completely naked. Hastily, she took two steps back, put on the bathrobe from before, tightened the band, and began to pursue Qi Chengzhi.

“Big Brother Chengzhi!” She ran after him, her eyes turned red.

She, a lady, had to use her brother’s name to trick him into coming. Otherwise, he would have never showed up.

After tricking him, she even took off her clothes and threw away her dignity to say she did not mind being merely his lover—just to get him to want her.

She presented her nude self in front of him, but he still did not want her!

Why?

Tears of grief poured out of her eyes. She gave up her dignity, offered herself to him, but why did he still refuse? What was with his scornful manner?

What was so great about Song Yu that she deserved his undying loyalty?

The more she thought about it, the more infuriated she got, and the more wronged she felt. Enraged, she exploded, “Big Brother Chengzhi! Why won’t you just look at me! I’ve grown—I’m a woman now. I worked hard to become a lady suitable for you. What’s so great about that Song Yu? Anything she has, I have it too—whatever she can give you, I can give you too. Even when it comes to love, I don’t lose to her. In fact, I dare say I love you more than her!”

“Big Brother Chengzhi, I’ve loved you for ten years. How can she compete with me? Do you know, she’s a two-faced woman! She’s always rude and disrespectful toward me—doing that to outsiders will bring shame to you. What’s so great about women like that? Why do you like her? That virtuous and quiet appearance of hers is all but an act!”

“Enough!” Qi Chengzhi stopped in his steps. Knowing she had clothes on, he turned around. His expression was more stern than usual. His intense yet cold eyes were fixed on her. “So what if she’s rude to you? I don’t care about that. Whoever she hates, she can insult them however much she likes, and I’ll support her. I don’t need you to judge how much she loves me, and I don’t care how much you love me!”

“You...” The color drained from Mu Sisi’s face. Teardrops as large as beans spilled continuously from her eyes. Her lips tremored as if electricity passed through them. “How could you... I love you so much, yet how could you...”

“You love to strip right? If you have the guts, strip for me right here!” In the corridor, Qi Chengzhi stood tall and firm before Mu Sisi, glaring at her blanched face disdainfully from the corner of his eyes. “If you don’t dare to, don’t even think about doing such things to me again. I treated you like my little sister because of my relations with your brother, so don’t get greedy.”

“Chengzhi?” Mu Huaizheng’s voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Qi Chengzhi turned his head back to see that Mu Huaisheng was walking towards them. Instantly, Mu Sisi started to panic. Mu Huaisheng was going to see Wei Ziqi that day, which was why she invited Qi Chengzhi over, but why was Mu Huaisheng back so early?!

“What’s going on?” Mu Huaisheng saw Mu Sisi standing behind Qi Chengzhi with merely a disheveled bathrobe covering her. He frowned.

Qi Chengzhi’s lips pressed together firmly. He turned to face Mu Huaisheng, waited for him to reach and stated in a low, coarse voice, “If you colluded with Mu Sisi to get me here, Huaisheng, I’m very disappointed in you. If she used your name to gull me into coming here, I’ll make some things clear while you’re here.”

“If she ever uses any other ploy to get me here again or shamelessly strip naked in front of me, I won’t care if she’s your sister—I won’t tolerate her anymore. If you don’t watch her properly and this happens again, since she loves to strip so much, very well, I’ll drag her to the middle of the street and let her strip to her heart’s content!”

Mu Sisi felt chills around her body. Her heart has fallen into an icehouse.

She was full of passion, yet he said it as if it was an ugly thing.

He did not care about their relations at all. He treated her as such and said she was shameless.

He did not know how much courage she had to pluck up. A lady taking the initiative to get naked in front of a man, did he assume it was an easy task?

Why must he belittle her feelings like this, belittle her? Why did he not care about her feelings at all?

Mu Sisi felt icy-cold. Her tears flowed uncontrollably.

Ever since Qi Chengzhi turned to Mu Huaisheng, he did not even glance at her. In the end, he shot a glimpse at Mu Huaisheng then strode past him toward the elevator.

Mu Huaisheng turned his head to watch Qi Chengzhi leave. He waited until his figure disappeared the turned back to look at Mu Sisi. With a face twisted with rage, he grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the living room.

Once in the room, Mu Huaisheng forcefully pushed Mu Sisi away. Mu Sisi staggered and almost tripped on the tea table behind her.

“What did I tell you, you really are so shameless!” Mu Huaisheng fumed. He did not know what to do with Mu Sisi—she just would not listen no matter what he told her.

“Stop calling me shameless! I’m your little sister, why won’t you help me?!” Mu Sisi wailed.

“Help you with what? Help you steal someone’s husband? Besides, he clearly doesn’t like you, so why are you still rushing to climb onto him? He said so very clearly. You stood nude in front of him, but he wouldn’t even glimpse at you, so what more do you want? Why don’t you just give up? Mu Sisi, even if you lie on the bed and spread your legs for him, he’s not going to do anything!” Mu Sisi had Mu Huaisheng extremely worked up. Infuriated, he did not care how hurtful his words were.

“They say men are animals that think with their lower body, but seeing you, his lower body can’t even think. Tell me now, how can you fight with Song Yu? Mu Sisi please be reasonable—do something normal people do, don’t be so stubborn. It’s like you’re crazy!”

“Shut up!” Mu Sisi shrilled, “Shut up! I like him, so what? I want him to look at me! I want him to know that I’m a woman now—I’ve matured! I sincerely love him! Why do you say these to me? Why must you trample over my feelings like this?”

Mu Huaisheng clenched his teeth. He took a few deep breaths, aware there was no talking sense into Mu Sisi anymore, then questioned, “Just now, Qi Chengzhi mentioned you used my name to trick him into coming here. What’s that about?”

Mu Sisi turned away, refusing to look at him. Tears continued to roll down her cheeks.

Mu Huaisheng squinted. “Fine, don’t tell me. Those petty schemes, anyone would be able to guess what you did.”

He took out his phone. He knew that all Mu Sisi could have done was send a message to Qi Chengzhi using his phone when he was not looking.

He checked the chat history on his phone, and as expected, he did not find the message. She must have deleted it right after sending it.

Immediately, he made a call. “Book me a ticket for the earliest flight to the United States.”

Before he hung up, he heard Mu Sisi squealing, “I’m not going back! Don’t even think about sending me back!”

Mu Huaisheng hung up and heard Mu Sisi’s continuous shrieking, “Even if you make me go, I can still buy my own flight ticket back here! Don’t you dare send me back!”

Mu Huaisheng coldly twisted his lips. He pointed at her and criticized, “You’re always so insane and full of nonsense, yet you still dream Qi Chengzhi likes you?”

“I won’t let you speak like that!” Mu Sisi angrily knocked everything off the tea table.

A soft rug covered the floor so even the glassware did not break. Nevertheless, the tea Mu Sisi poured for Qi Chengzhi spilled all over the rug, leaving a tea-colored stain on it.

“I won’t let you speak to me like that! Which part of me is bad? What makes me unworthy of his love! You’re my brother, yet even you would say things like this to me! Mu Huaisheng, you b*stard! You b*stard!” Mu Sisi repeatedly cursed. In the end, she mixed up Mandarin and English, screaming out every cuss word she knew.

“You say I’m two-faced but aren’t you the same? In front of others, you’re gentle and refined, but on the other side, you treat me so ruthlessly!”

Instantly, nasty cuss words filled the entire house.

Mu Huaisheng did not care. He called Dynasty’s security team. Dynasty’s security team not only maintained the security of the restaurant, but they also provided private services for customers for a fee, of course.

Not long after, the manager arrived at the door with a bodyguard.

The doorbell rang. As the door slowly opened, ear-piercing screams gushed out the tiny opening of the door, and the racket all originated from Mu Sisi’s mouth.

Her usual elegant voice had turned into a voice typical of hags that scolded others on the streets. It was unbearable.

The manager’s expression did not change, as if he did not hear a thing. Keeping up a courteous smile, he said, “Mr. Mu, according to your request, I brought you a bodyguard.”

Mu Huaisheng nodded. He no longer had on the stern and cold appearance used against Mu Sisi. Instead, his expression was warm and gentle, with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. He told the bodyguard, “I’m going out. Please watch over my sister. Don’t let her go anywhere and don’t let anyone come in.”

The bodyguard nodded. Mu Huaisheng ordered, “Wait a minute.”

He shut the door, leaving the manager and bodyguard outside.

Mu Sisi saw him enter, then yelled at him again. Mu Huaisheng proceeded directly to Mu Sisi’s room.

“What are you doing?!” Mu Sisi followed behind him.

Mu Huaisheng grabbed the bag placed on her table then poured out all the contents onto her bed. He confiscated her phone.

“Why are you taking my phone? Give it back!” Mu Sisi shouted in a sharp voice.

Mu Huaisheng did not care. He opened the door and left. To the bodyguard, he said, “Please watch over her properly.”

Without looking back, he left Dynasty.

...

...

“Young Master Cheng.” Cheng Dongge knocked and entered. “Mu Huaisheng is here.”

Ever since Qi Chengzhi came back, he had a ghastly expression. Hearing Cheng Dongge’s words, he uttered bitterly, “Let him come up.”

After a few minutes, Mu Huaisheng entered his office with a gloomy expression. Jumping straight to the point, he clarified, “I didn’t collude with Sisi to trick you. Truthfully, I knew nothing about this.”

Qi Chengzhi accepted his statement. “Then she must’ve secretly used your phone to message me.”

Qi Chengzhi took out his phone. Mu Huaisheng saw that his screensaver was a picture of Song Yu—she stood in a field of roses and held a single rose in her hands, looking down. She appeared especially tranquil and beautiful, evoking a sense of comfort and calmness in others. No matter how foul the mood was, this could cure it.

Qi Chengzhi looked for the message then showed it to Mu Huaisheng. Mu Huaisheng looked at the time the message was sent and explained, “I was in the shower at that time. She must’ve taken the chance to send the message using my phone.”

“From the way you conduct yourself normally, I can tell you won’t help her do such things,” Qi Chengzhi said calmly, “Nonetheless, I’m serious about what I said earlier. I put up with her this time to preserve your dignity, but if she does it again, I won’t let her ruin my relationship with Song Yu as she pleases. Even though Song Yu trusts me and knows that I won’t do anything with your sister, I still won’t let her do such things to revolt Song Yu.”

“I understand,” Mu Huaisheng said composedly, “I’ll watch over her properly. I’m really sorry for causing you so much trouble.”

...

...

Mu Huaisheng exited Qilin and got on his car. Just then, he received a call from his family.

He picked up the phone and listened to the voice on the other side. He then greeted, “Mom.”

“What’s up with you? You two just went there, yet now you want to send Sisi back already?” Fang Anci inquired through the phone.

“She called you?” Mu Huaisheng’s face darkened, in a deep voice.

“Ah! She was wailing over the phone, claiming that you helped an outsider bully her. What in the world happened?” Fang Anci sounded tired and impatient. She knew her daughter well.

Mu Sisi was too stubborn. She thought the world revolved around her. Whenever things did not go her way, she called it bullying. Her whole life, the only person who went against her was Mu Huaisheng. He was the only one who could set her straight.

“As you know, she’s always liked Qi Chengzhi. He’s happily married, yet she still wants to intervene. She even sent a message to Qi Chengzhi with my phone behind my back, fooling him into coming to the hotel, then stripped naked in front of him. Qi Chengzhi didn’t even glimpse at her. As a result of this incident, Qi Chengzhi turned hostile toward me.” Mu Huaisheng did not hide a thing. He told her everything as it was.

“I’ve tried talking to her nicely, I’ve tried being tough with her—I’ve tried everything. She just won’t listen. She’s decided that she likes Qi Chengzhi, so he has to like her. If this continues, my friendship with Qi Chengzhi is done for. Even you know how powerful the Qi family is here. If this matter offended them, friendship will be the least of my problems—our family’s brand would never be able to develop here.

“Qi Chengzhi’s wife, Song Yu, is extremely pampered by the Qi family. From Grandfather Qi and Grandmother Qi to Qi Chengzhi’s little sister and nephew, everyone in the Qi family loves her and has her back. How can they let Sisi do whatever she pleases? That day at the Wei family’s banquet, Sisi went ahead and threw herself at him in front of Song Yu. Grandmother Qi did not say anything directly, but she hinted that her grandson and granddaughter-in-law have a great relationship, leaving Sisi with some self-respect. Even so, she’s still rushing to climb onto him. This isn’t the ‘love’ she always blabbers about, and at this point, she’s just a burden. If I let her stay here, I reckon she would offend the entire Qi family.”

“The thing is, your father is going to Italy to participate in a fashion week, and I’m going with him. We will also look into how business is in Italy and evaluate the market situation there, so we’ll be gone for quite a while. If you send Sisi back now, we won’t be there—no one will look after her. She can secretly fly back and hide somewhere without you knowing. That would be even more troublesome,” Fang Anci said, “In my opinion, you should put up with her first. Let her stay with you. At least you can look after her. You know the places she tends to go. With you around, she won’t cause as much trouble. Additionally, if anything happens, you can be there to save her.”

Mu Huaisheng hung up in rage. He rubbed his eyes, feeling tired of all this.

...

...

At night, Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi returned home. They entered the bedroom to change. Song Yu took the suit coat Qi Chengzhi just took off. As she was hanging it up, she saw a strand of hair stuck to the back of it. It was not hers because it was curled.

Song Yu threw away the hair and hung the coat as if nothing happened. She did not take it to heart.

Qi Chengzhi changed into comfortable home clothes and walked out. Song Yu did not mention the hair.

He was frowning slightly, and she did not know what he was pondering upon. He had on a thin V-neck T-shirt. The sleeves were rolled up to the elbows, exposing his muscular arm. His casual, khaki-colored long pants made his legs look long and defined. His elegant and slender hands were placed in his pants pockets. He was just standing there, appearing slim and tall. The scene was picturesque.

“What are you looking at?” Song Yu asked. She wondered what was so interesting about the white wall that he kept staring at it.

Qi Chengzhi turned his head. He wrapped his arms around her waist. In a husky voice, he asked, “Do you feel that something’s missing on that wall?”

Hearing that, Song Yu turned to look at the wall, but she stared at it for an eternity and did not notice anything. “What’s it missing?”

“Can you put some heart into this?” Qi Chengzhi gripped her waist tightly and pulled her toward him until she was pressed against his lower abdomen. “Our wedding ceremony is coming soon, yet you didn’t realize we don’t even have a wedding photo?”

“...” Song Yu wrapped her arms around his waist. Honestly, she did not think in that direction at all.

Truth be told, it was because Qi Chengzhi gave her too much sense of security. She did not feel the need for such physical objects, so she never thought in that direction.

When to get register, when to have the wedding ceremony, when to get engaged—she did not need to worry about any of these. Qi Chengzhi would have planned everything with passion.

Next month would be the wedding ceremony, but she, the bride, never worked to the bone for this wedding. She has never done any decorating personally. She merely told him her ideas. Whenever she came up with new ideas or wanted to add anything, she just told him and he would get it done perfectly.

She did not have to do a thing. Still, now that she thought about it, he was already so busy, yet she let him handle these trivial matters. It felt a little wrong.

As a consequent of things being handled like this, she did not even think about their wedding photo.

Therefore, she raised her head and suggested according to his comment, “When are you free? We’ll go take a set of photographs.”

“With your current body, you shouldn’t tire yourself.” He frowned slightly, looking at her tummy, thinking what a hindrance this child was.

“We’re just going to stand for a while, then sit for a while. It’s not going to be tiring,” Song Yu reassured, “Besides, let’s take the chance while my tummy hasn’t enlarged yet. It’ll look better.”

Speaking of body figure, she let go of him, took a few steps back, and pinched her waist. “Do you think I’ve become fatter? Tell me honestly.”

Qi Chengzhi was not dumb. If he had said she has gotten fatter, that would have been the end of him. Nevertheless, she really had not gotten fatter. Her stomach was still flat.

Thus, he told her honestly, “No, you really haven’t.”

As expected, Song Yu analyzed him for a long time. She decided that his expression was serious and that he did not sound dismissive. She was delighted. Only then did she finally grabbed his hand and brought him to the living room for dinner.

...

...

The next morning, the Range Rover stopped in front of Chengshi. As usual, Song Yu gave him a kiss right before getting out, but she did get out immediately.
