Mu Yazhe slowly raised his head and looked at her . Seeing that there was no admiration and only intolerance in his eyes, Mu Wanrou’s heart turned cold .
“Take it off . ”
One heartless command from him pinned her to the spot in utter embarrassment .
“Why?”
“Did I give you permission to wear this?” He snorted .
Her face turned stiff and ugly .
She did not understand; he had always given in to her demands . She could have whatever she wanted . He always spoiled her and would agree to anything she asked for – even if it was unreasonable .
Why was he suddenly so cold and distant toward her?
“Why? Why must I take it off? You mean I can’t compare to her? That b*tch—”
“Take it off . I’ll give you five minutes to change into another dress . ” With that, he fixed his gaze on his wristwatch . He was counting the time down .
“I won’t!” She was on the verge of tears . “I like this . I am going to wear this to the gala tonight!”
He frostily said, “I have limited patience . ”
“Zhe…” She was alarmed . He had never been heartless to her before .
Yun Shishi, that b*tch, must be a vixen incarnate . All men have been bewitched by her .
“One minute left,” he coldly warned .
This was a hint to her that he would not leave her even a shred of dignity if she did not obey within the last minute .
He always did what he threatened .
With much resentment, she stomped into the dressing room to change into another evening gown .
…
The Bentley slowly and steadily drove on the highway toward the hotel for the yearly gala .
Inside the car, Yun Shishi silently sat down with her head lowered . She no longer had that self-confidence she had displayed earlier . From her profile, one could tell that she was feeling down .
Gu Xingze, who was sitting beside her, watched her closely . He saw her look out the window with her head still lowered . Her thin and frail frame was heart-wrenching to see for him .
She was the kind of woman a man would want to care and protect .
Recalling the earlier scene at EMPRESS’s showroom where he saw that little lad that looked so much like her, his head was filled with questions .
Rumors had it that Young Mistress Mu Wanrou was betrothed to Mu Yazhe, the Mu household’s successor, since young . The two were childhood sweethearts and were so in love with each other .
This was only a front, however . In truth, Mu Yazhe was a cold and aloof man, who had never fallen in love with any woman . Mu Wanrou was also not the biological mother of Little Yichen .
She was diagnosed to be infertile and had no ability to bear a child . Little Yichen’s real mother was somebody else .
Is she, the mother ?
That day, he saw her with a little boy, whose age and features were identical to Little Yichen’s .
Gu Xingze softly chuckled . He actually minded about this matter, yet he had no right to ask .
Qin Zhou was also looking at her . He wanted to console her but did not know how or where to start .
Yun Shishi looked at the man beside her and thanked him sincerely, “Xingze, about earlier, thank you . Thank you for guarding my pride!”
“What’s there to thank for?” he asked with amusement .
“That gown isn’t worth a billion even though it is indeed very beautiful . ”
Was that dress not worth that one billion?
He smiled and disagreed, “It is worth it . ”
“Er…”
She looked at this handsome man with some surprise . His smile was soft and gentle, yet his tone was serious and firm .
“Shishi, you deserve the best . ”
