She pouted, somewhat confused, and heard Jiexiang whisper, "Madam, I beg you, please get a little angry. Otherwise, Young Master will be very upset."
She looked perplexed at Ruan Yu's subtly angry brows and suddenly had a thought: could it be that Ruan Yu was deliberately testing his position in her heart by inviting Miss Gu Xiyue back? She glanced at the camellias she had planted on the windowsill, smiled lightly, and truly didn't know how to pretend to be angry.
Ruan Yu narrowed his elongated eyes, raising the gun in his hand and aiming it at Jiexiang. He pulled the trigger with force; the bullet sliced through the air. Startled, she hurriedly shielded Jiexiang, only to see the bullet penetrate the wall.
Sweat beaded in her palms as Jiexiang trembled and struggled to stand. Anger surged within her as she glared at him, "What are you trying to do?"
"I don't want to do anything; I just want to kill this girl who speaks recklessly!"
She gently bit her rose-colored lips, meeting the clear light in his narrow eyes. Calmly shifting her gaze to Gu Xiyue, who was also frightened, she said, "Miss Gu, you see this man before you is extremely ruthless and violent. Being by his side could mean losing your life any day. Even so, do you still want to follow him?"
"But sister, aren't you following him too?" Gu Xiyue came back to her senses and smiled softly.
She forced a bitter smile and shook her head. The moonlight slanted down upon her, casting a pure white glow around her. Little did Gu Xiyue know that she was trapped here; she missed the dark alleys of her hometown and the continuous drizzling rain, as well as the place where Shaoyi was.
Now that the noise had faded and worries had dissipated, she had long lost her soul. Where she was didn't really matter anymore.
Seeing that she no longer spoke, Gu Xiyue gently climbed up Ruan Yu's arm but still saw no sign of Ruan Yu's anger diminishing. Gu Xiyue bit her red lips lightly; she had met Ruan Yu on the battlefield as a nurse accompanying the troops. She often heard her father mention how glorious the Gu Family from Suzhou once was, which had bred resentment in her heart as she believed her father squandered their wealth.
No matter how hard her parents worked, they supported her through church school. She thought that after that, she would gain recognition from various wealthy young masters. Little did she know they were merely playing with her; in the end, they valued social standing. What was she—a fallen noble—worth?
In the season when peach blossoms bloomed, she secretly left her hometown to carve out a space for herself. Unfortunately, all she encountered were wicked people. Thus began her long journey of wandering; only sunlight could soothe her soul, and only shadows accompanied her healing. To make a living, she became a nurse at a hospital and was assigned to the battlefield where she finally met her true love.
Now, she could not miss this opportunity. Seeing Cheng Mo Su anger Ruan Yu, she couldn't help but add fuel to the fire, saying, "Ruan Shaoshuai, I don't think my sister wants to follow you willingly; otherwise, she wouldn't have advised me to leave. You really need to clarify what kind of feelings she has for you."
Ruan Yu scrutinized her. Despite his slightly fierce gaze, she remained calm, her hands showing no signs of trembling. He felt even more irritated and stared directly at Cheng Mo Su, "My patience is limited. Do you really not care about me at all?"
Cheng Mo Su was taken aback for a moment, realizing that Gu Xiyue was not to be underestimated; in an instant, she understood Ruan Yu's feelings, which made her see him in a new light. However, she was not planning to stay in Ruan Yu's residence for long; dealing with Gu Xiyue every day would be unbearable.
"I'll ask you one more time: do you really not care about me?"
She gently bit her rose-colored lips, unsure how to respond to his words. Did she care about him? It seemed she wanted him to let her go more. Did she not care about him? Then why did her heart feel at ease when she saw him return safely? She hesitated, unsure how to voice her thoughts.
"Ruan Shaoshuai, please don't ask anymore; you've scared my sister." Gu Xiyue raised her eyebrows. Cheng Mo Su smiled lightly; her contemplation was forcefully interpreted by Gu Xiyue as fear, which would only infuriate Ruan Yu further.
Sure enough, Ruan Yu's pupils tightened again, and the gun in his hand slowly rose, pointing directly at her. She was taken aback; during their time apart, Ruan Yu had become even more violent and lacked patience with her. However, upon reflection, it was understandable that Ruan Yu had invested a lot of effort into her and had not received a response for a long time, so it was no wonder he was furious.
Gu Xiyue tossed her thick hair lightly, the golden bracelet on her fair wrist sparkling under the light. She grabbed Ruan Yu's wrist and looked at him with a hint of moisture in her eyes. "Ruan Shaoshuai, what are you doing pointing a gun at my sister?" She glanced at Cheng Mo Su with an urgent tone but an expression full of pride. "Sister, hurry up and apologize to Shaoshuai; he definitely won't want to kill you."
Cheng Mo Su smiled faintly. It was impressive how Gu Xiyue had grasped Ruan Yu's character so well after only knowing him for a few days.
As expected, Ruan Yu shoved Gu Xiyue aside without even looking at her and stared straight at Cheng Mo Su. "It's just a woman! Who says I wouldn't dare kill her? There are plenty of women in the world; do I really need to worry about lacking women?"
Cheng Mo Su clenched her fists; her water-colored eyes quietly closed, long eyelashes slightly trembling. The faint fragrance surrounding her wafted through the air. The pure and beautiful white camellia placed on the windowsill reminded her that life is short; however, in her view, life could also be long and bitter.
"Young Master, please spare the Young Mistress!" Jiexiang stood in front of Cheng Mo Su with a look of determination. During this time, she had only been with Cheng Mo Su and knew that Cheng Mo Su treated her well. Having been accustomed to being oppressed by Ruan Yu, encountering such a gentle and graceful mistress like Cheng Mo Su made her feel happy and warm; how could she bear to let Ruan Yu harm her?
"Jiexiang! You have turned against me!" Ruan Yu clearly did not expect the girl he had been nurturing to rebel against him. He furrowed his brows and glared angrily.
"Jiexiang is dead, but nothing can happen to Young Mistress. Young Master, I see your heart clearly. You have never cared for any other girl besides Young Mistress. Bringing back this Miss Gu was merely to make Young Mistress jealous. Since your motives are that simple, how could you be provoked by this woman to turn around and harm Young Mistress?" Jiexiang suddenly knelt on the ground, her eyes red. "If you really kill Young Mistress in a fit of rage, the one who will suffer the most is not anyone else, but you, Young Master!"
Ruan Yu was taken aback, retracting his fierce gaze as he looked at Cheng Mosu's picturesque features. Cheng Mosu appeared so elegant, as if she had walked through the chaotic world and shaken off the visible dust. She looked at him calmly, responding to his various expressions as if she had seen through the origins of worldly affairs, stirring the dance of mortal life. She was as clear and tranquil as water, quietly beautiful. Even in the face of his fury, she remained unperturbed.
He suddenly felt despondent; the sound of a gun dropping echoed in the air. He held the phone tightly, dialing a number with a harsh voice. "Zhou Deputy Officer, cancel the arrest warrant and withdraw those people outside my house."
Cheng Mosu was momentarily stunned; given this situation, he actually intended to...
"Leave! I never want to see you again! Get out!"
