Chapter 144: Chapter 141: Did I Say You Could Leave?
Mu Yan is also a paper tiger in front of Xiao Nanqing, not timid herself, but truly aware of his methods, fearing him.
Seeing his face full of hostility, Mu Yan’s face turned pale, she ducked behind Jin Jumo with a swish, quietly peeking at Xiao Nanqing with one eye, stammering, "What, what do you want to do?"
Jin Jumo also sensed the situation wasn’t right, quickly speaking into the phone, "Mr. Rong, I have something to deal with right now, I’ll call you back later."
"Give the phone to Nan Qing." Rong Mochen suddenly spoke, his voice chilling.
Jin Jumo was stunned, puzzled in her heart, how did he know Xiao Nanqing was here?
Jin Jumo was momentarily oblivious to it being her phone’s issue, too loud!
"...Okay." Jin Jumo agreed, handing the phone over to Xiao Nanqing before he could move behind her, "Mr. Rong wants to talk to you."
Xiao Nanqing’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his thin lips pressed together, he glared fiercely at Mu Yan, took the phone, "Boss Rong."
"If you and Mu Yan want to argue or make a fuss, do it at home, don’t trap a pregnant woman between you." Rong Mochen said coldly.
Xiao Nanqing thought it was something urgent?
His handsome face twitched, he said nothing, handed the phone back to Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo, puzzled, took it, put it to her ear, "Rong..."
"Location."
"?" Jin Jumo was stunned, then realized he was asking her for her current location, "I’m at Vegetarian Restaurant."
"Stay there!" Rong Mochen said in a deep voice and then hung up the call.
Jin Jumo sulkily licked her lips, stuffed the phone into her bag, glanced at Xiao Nanqing with a difficult expression, her eyelashes drooped lightly, looked at Mu Yan and said, "Little Yan, you have school tomorrow, you should go home early."
"It’s still early." Upon hearing this, Mu Yan immediately opened her big watery eyes, looking at Jin Jumo pitifully like a little mouse, "Sister Jin, I don’t want to go back yet, stay with me."
"But..."
"Is your skin itching?" Before Jin Jumo could reply, Xiao Nanqing interrupted coldly, pointing a long finger at Mu Yan, "Come here."
Mu Yan pursed her lips tightly, not looking at Xiao Nanqing, just staring directly at Jin Jumo, making Jin Jumo’s heart soften completely, she couldn’t help but whisper to Xiao Nanqing, "Since Little Yan doesn’t want to go back now, and we’ve just had dinner, Mr. Rong will be here later, how about we take a walk together?"
Xiao Nanqing kept a stern face, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Mu Yan saw this, pouted and snapped, "He doesn’t want to go, forget it, Sister Jin, let’s go."
"..." Jin Jumo was nervous wiping sweat, it seems this girl’s EQ isn’t very high!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nanqing’s face indeed turned worse, he suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Mu Yan by the back of her collar, and dragged her towards the Bugatti, opened the door and stuffed her into the passenger seat, a series of actions completed in one go, so fast that neither Jin Jumo nor Mu Yan could react.
It wasn’t until Xiao Nanqing got in the car, Jin Jumo managed to take a breath and snapped back to reality, and by then, the Bugatti had already sped away in front of her...
"Xiao Nanqing, what are you doing? I want to get off!" Mu Yan sat stiffly in the car for a while, returning to normal from a dazed state, glaring at Xiao Nanqing and exclaimed.
Xiao Nanqing kept a stern face, his profile severe and fierce, like a grim ghost, he said sinisterly, "Then jump out if you dare!"
"..." Mu Yan’s eyes widened, clenching her small fists in defiance, "Don’t think I’m afraid!"
"Hmph." Xiao Nanqing curled his lips in disdain.
Mu Yan was truly provoked, she turned sideways, grabbing the door handle with one hand.
At this moment, the car speed suddenly surged, she was caught off guard and pitched forward, then was abruptly pulled back by the seatbelt, her back crashed heavily against the seat, numbing.
Not only was her spine numb, her limbs were numb too.
Mu Yan’s originally flushed face turned snow-white instantly, she took a harsh breath down her throat, her shiny black grape eyes slowly welled with tears, stubbornly glaring at Xiao Nanqing, "Xiao Nanqing, you’re really despicable!"
Xiao Nanqing furrowed his brows, turned to stare at her misty eyes, "If I’m despicable, then tell me, who isn’t?"
"I’ll tell grandpa what happened today." Mu Yan said angrily, extremely aggrieved, her voice trembling.
Xiao Nanqing knitted his brows even more, listening to her childish angry accusation, his phoenix eyes showed disdain, "Suit yourself!"
Feeling the car speed increasing again, Mu Yan was frightened, her small hands tightly gripping the back of the seat, she turned and yelled at him, "Can’t you slow down?"
"Weren’t you going to jump out? Why not jump now?" Xiao Nanqing coldly replied.
"..." Who would dare jump at this speed!
Mu Yan cried in frustration, holding her little pout, this person was ten years older than her, and his heart was tougher!
Every time he bullied her, she cried, he instead escalated.
If she didn’t cry, he deliberately made her cry harder, until she broke down, then he’d stop.
Psycho!
Mu Yan didn’t dare look outside, consciously avoiding sensing the speed, she lowered her face, hiding in the thick scarf.
Every time at moments like this, she especially missed her dad and mom in the UK, missed her little uncle, her uncle and aunt, all those who treated her well, making her increasingly hate Xiao Nanqing, only he was the worst to her, worse than the classmates who excluded her at school.
The eyes grew wet again. Mu Yan slowly stretched out her pale little face, gently looking at Xiao Nanqing’s cruel profile, quietly saying, "I feel sick."
"..." Xiao Nanqing held a cold expression, not even glancing at her.
"I feel sick." Mu Yan’s voice rose a notch.
Xiao Nanqing glanced at her but remained silent.
Mu Yan puffed up her cheeks, on the verge of tears, yet persisted, "If you don’t stop the car, I’ll vomit all over it. Don’t blame me for not warning you then."
Xiao Nanqing was known for his love of cars; the car was like his own brother. If anyone dared to damage his beloved car, he’d risk dislocating their arm!
Xiao Nanqing’s authoritative, icy face indeed showed a trace of other emotions. He glared at Mu Yan with annoyance, "Hold it in."
"...Can’t." Mu Yan’s white forehead was tightly furrowed, her small face was as pale as translucent glass, and something was desperately surging up her throat; she was barely holding it back.
"Ugh"
In the end, Mu Yan unfortunately vomited in the car.
Screech—
The car suddenly came to an abrupt stop with an emergency brake.
"Ugh, ugh..." The jolt made Mu Yan vomit even more severely.
"..." Xiao Nanqing’s expression looked like he’d been struck, his phoenix eyes turned a fiery red, glaring at Mu Yan with extreme frustration, "Mu Yan!"
He spat out the words "Mu Yan" through clenched teeth.
Mu Yan raised her tearful eyes and glanced at him. That look made her insides twist, and she vomited even more cruelly.
In an instant, a peculiar smell filled the car.
Xiao Nanqing clenched his fists, then released them, then clenched them again, finally unable to bear it any longer. He pushed the car door open, stormed around the front of the car with a murderous expression, opened the passenger door, and yanked Mu Yan out by the arm.
Mu Yan turned her head in panic. The man’s face was beyond recognition at this moment; she believed he was capable of skinning her alive right then.
"Mu Yan, you want to die..." Before he finished his sentence, the little person he was holding by the arm suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Xiao Nanqing’s expression changed dramatically. Without thinking, he tightened his grip on her arm, pulling her into his embrace. His other arm wrapped around her waist, his pupils rapidly dilated, staring at her frost-like pale face and tightly closed eyelashes.
His heart felt as if it had been suddenly shattered. Xiao Nanqing’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his phoenix eyes fixed on her face, "Mu Yan, what kind of trick are you pulling now?"
"..." Mu Yan gave no response, limp in his arms, fragile as a baby.
Xiao Nanqing’s whole face tightened, his clear voice grew heavier, his breathing rougher, "Little Yan, Yanyan..."
Mu Yan still gave him no response.
Xiao Nanqing pressed his thin lips together, suddenly bent over, and picked Mu Yan up in his arms.
Despite his usual obsession with cleanliness, he ignored the smell inside the car and placed Mu Yan onto the rear seat, then swiftly got into the driver’s seat, driving rapidly towards the nearest hospital.
Just as the car started, the small woman in the back seat, who had been feigning sleep, fluttered her long eyelashes. Her pale lips even parted slightly, letting out a few soft breaths.
Not long after Xiao Nanqing took Mu Yan away, Rong Mochen arrived.
Watching the elegantly aloof figure approaching her, Jin Jumo could clearly feel the change within her heart. She was anticipating, anticipating his approach.
From the moment Rong Mochen stepped out of the car, his cold, dark eyes were fixed on Jin Jumo, his resolute face maintaining its usual coldness, distancing everyone from thousands of miles away.
Standing in front of Jin Jumo, Rong Mochen lowered his eyes, quietly staring at Jin Jumo. For a moment, various emotions seemed to flash through his eyes, finally settling into calmness. His lips parted coldly, "Let’s go home."
Jin Jumo’s eyes flickered, her hand instinctively grasping his prominent-jointed hand, smiling as she spoke, "Mr. Rong, why did you get here so fast?"
It would’ve been better if Jin Jumo hadn’t asked. As soon as she did, Rong Mochen, whose mood had just softened slightly due to her holding his hand, became sullen again. He gave her a cold glance, remained silent, and led her towards the car.
Jin Jumo felt puzzled.
After getting into the car with him, Jin Jumo initially faced the window. Later, feeling the atmosphere was too oppressive, she turned to look at Rong Mochen and softly asked, "Mr. Rong, have you eaten?"
Rong Mochen gave Jin Jumo a glance without expression.
Jin Jumo’s eye twitched, pausing slightly, "Today, was work going smoothly?"
It probably wasn’t going so smoothly; otherwise, why else would he be so moody with her?
It seemed Rong Mochen understood Jin Jumo’s thoughts, releasing a cold chuckle.
Jin Jumo felt she was merely asking for trouble and turned her head away sulkily, keeping silent.
About five minutes passed.
Rong Mochen’s cold voice sounded inside the car, "Do you have my number in your contacts?"
"..." Jin Jumo was stunned, not understanding why he asked, and looked at him in confusion, nodding lightly.
