Chapter 791 The Sister Who Was Shackled Because She Wasn't Sent Away (17)
The private room wasn't very bright.
Shen Yan, however, could clearly see every expression on Mu Zhou's face.
What she said was true.
This brought Shen Yan to the brink of death.
Even his breathing felt like it was carrying barbs, slowly torturing him inch by inch.
His hand, gripping Mu Zhou's shoulder, trembled uncontrollably.
Mu Zhou said everything that was on his mind, and for a moment he felt deflated.
Her eyes were blurry with tears, filled with confusion, and her shoulders were slightly hunched inward, like a vulnerable young animal.
She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and looked at him earnestly:
"Shen Yan, you know what kind of life I've been living before. My life has never been peaceful since Lin Xi came into my life. Now, I've finally found a rare happiness. Please leave, go back to Kyoto, and leave with Lin Xi, okay?"
Her voice trembled with tears, making her words sound aggrieved and pitiful.
It's like having seen through everything and having no choice but to compromise.
Shen Yan's heartache was beyond words.
He knew how much Mu Zhou loved him back then.
The night he gave her a clear response, her eyes seemed to sparkle.
But now, she avoids him like the plague.
It's all because of Linxi.
His beloved girl was forced to leave her hometown and the place where she was born and raised.
She lost her parents, relatives, friends, and him.
They are all in Linxi.
Shen Yan slowly withdrew his hand, letting it hang down, clenching it so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
His face looked calmer now, and he no longer looked so frightening.
But the distortion and turmoil in his eyes were chilling at first glance.
However, Mu Zhou, with his head down, naturally didn't notice.
Seeing that Shen Yan had calmed down, she gently pushed him away:
"I think we probably can't be friends anymore."
She opened the door and left.
The contact person from the partner company was not downstairs.
Come to think of it, their purpose today was to bring Mu Zhou here.
The mission is complete, so there's no need to stay any longer.
However, the contract has already been signed, it's in black and white, and no one can break it.
In the end, she didn't lose out.
Mu Zhou prepared to go out and hail a taxi.
As soon as she came down the stairs, a car stopped in front of her. Then, Shen Yan got out and pushed her into the passenger seat without saying a word.
As she tried to struggle, he leaned closer:
"I understand what you mean. I won't force you. Can I take you to your company?"
His face showed a hint of vulnerability, which softened Mu Zhou's heart for a moment, and she did not refuse.
Shen Yan fastened her seatbelt and then returned to the driver's seat.
No one spoke again on the way.
Mu Zhou received a call from Huo Xiaoyun on the way and they chatted briefly.
When I put my phone back, a lipstick rolled out of my bag.
It eventually landed silently in a storage box on the side.
She glanced down at it, then casually looked away.

Mu Zhou did not go home after get off work.
The driver took her to the airport.
Fu Ci went on a business trip the day before yesterday and returned today.
It was getting a bit cold, and Mu Zhou wrapped his coat tighter around himself after getting out of the car.
The arrival gate was bustling with all sorts of people, but Mu Zhou spotted the man in the trench coat at a glance.
He was tall and slender with broad shoulders and a narrow waist; even when covered by clothes, his well-defined muscles were still visible.
His face was handsome, aloof, and exquisitely refined, exuding an air of noble elegance.
Their eyes met across the crowd.
Fu Ci quickly walked to her side, put his arm around her shoulder, and the two walked out together.
Noticing that Mu Zhou still felt a chill, he disagreed:
"Didn't I tell you to wait at home?"
She's so thin, she's most afraid of the cold.
Mu Zhou slightly raised her head in his arms, her almond-shaped eyes gazing at him with eyes full of autumn water:
"I want to come pick you up, I want to see you as soon as possible."
A single, soft sentence made Fu Ci's heart skip a beat. It felt as if a hot spring had been poured into his chest, warming him so much that his entire body was completely at ease.
A hint of tenderness appeared on his usually cold face as he looked at Mu Zhou's innocent little face.
For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether she was unintentional or deliberately seducing him.
She always does this, casually saying sweet nothings that make his heart race.
Back in the car, the moment the partition rose, Fu Ci lowered his head and kissed her.
"Miss me?"
He rubbed his full, pink lips together, his voice husky and alluring.
He thought Mu Zhou would remain silent out of shyness, but to his surprise, she answered him honestly.
"think."
The word that escaped softly from his throat made Fu Ci freeze for a moment, his eyes seeming to turn crimson.
Then his kisses became even more ferocious.
After the car drove away, a young woman carrying a suitcase hurriedly chased after it.
Lin Xi stared wide-eyed at the departing car.
If she wasn't mistaken, that was Mu Zhou, wasn't it?
Who is that man next to me?
Before the car door closed, she only had time to see Mu Zhou's figure clearly, and that she was being held in a man's arms.
But that person was definitely not Shen Yan.
Thinking of that old-fashioned Bentley from earlier, her eyes darted around.
Although this car is very expensive and is a limited edition, few young people drive it.
I estimate he's quite old.
Ah.
Even though Lin Xi disliked Mu Zhou, she had to admit that Mu Zhou's face was very good at playing the victim, acting like a delicate white flower, which suited the tastes of older men.
Could it be that she's hooked up with a rich man?
No wonder they've become so arrogant.
Lin Xi thought for a moment and immediately called her parents.
After that, she went straight to Shen Yan's company.
At that moment, Shen Yan was sitting in the car.
He was holding his phone, looking at his chat interface with Mu Zhou.
Mu Zhou did not reply to his greeting all day.
His face was icy cold, and his fingers tightened their grip even more.
Finally, reluctantly, he put down his phone and drove away.
But before he could even drive out of the parking lot, Lin Xi suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
She got into the car without saying a word, which made him frown deeply.
"get off."
"No, there are some things I'd like to talk to you about regarding Mu Zhou."
Ignoring his fierce expression, Lin Xi continued to challenge his bottom line.
She fastened her seatbelt and raised an eyebrow at him:
"I saw Mu Zhou at the airport. Guess who she went to pick up?"
Shen Yan gripped the steering wheel tightly and unconsciously pressed the accelerator.
Lin Xi didn't notice and thought he didn't believe her, so she said mysteriously:
“I saw her being held in the arms of an old man.”
She deliberately provoked Shen Yan with every word she uttered. Even though she didn't see anything after the car door closed, it didn't stop her from spreading rumors.
"After getting into the car, guess what they did?"
Just as she was about to continue speaking, the car suddenly swerved sharply to the right and then braked abruptly, causing Lin Xi to lurch forward uncontrollably.
Luckily, I was wearing a seatbelt, otherwise something bad would have happened.
Even so, her shoulders were still sore from being squeezed, and her head was shaking uncomfortably.
She stared wide-eyed:
"Shen Yan, what are you doing?!"
Shen Yan didn't even look at her, and said coldly:
"I'm saying this for the last time, get off the bus."
Lin Xi's purpose today was to see Shen Yan break down and let him know that Mu Zhou was not some innocent white lotus.
Having achieved his goal, he didn't want to completely anger him.
Just as I was about to get off the bus, I glanced down and saw a conspicuous lipstick in the storage box.
