Yan Xinxin froze in front of the large tree, a gentle breeze brushing past, jolting her back to reality like a lost soul.
The scene from earlier flashed through her mind like a fleeting gust of wind, and upon recalling it, it felt like a dream from the night before, becoming hazy in an instant.
But Yan Xinxin distinctly remembered that she had indeed called out "Brother Xi" uncontrollably just moments ago...
Mo Chuxi finished his meeting and walked into his office, which was glaringly empty.
He even felt that Yan Xinxin had never set foot in the office.
Yan Xinxin, who was walking distractedly, lost in thought, suddenly received a call from Mo Chuxi.
His deep, melodic voice carried a sense of distant familiarity, reverberating through her eardrums.
"I asked you to wait for me in the office. Where did you go?"
Mo Chuxi paused mid-motion, thinking he must’ve misheard.
"I went to the Mu family."
After a brief silence, Yan Xinxin snapped back to her senses and replied.
"You went to the Mu family? To see Chenxi?"
Yan Xinxin nodded, her tone sounding detached.
Mo Chuxi’s heartbeat quickened slightly, unnaturally.
"I’m heading back now..."
Before Yan Xinxin could finish her sentence, Mo Chuxi heard the sound of brakes.
"It’s you? What are you doing? Let go! Mo Chuxi, I—"
The call was abruptly cut off amidst her startled and flustered voice.
Mo Chuxi’s eyes darkened, his heart thrumming with tension.
He redialed Yan Xinxin’s number but, as he anticipated, the phone had already been turned off.
Mo Chuxi furrowed his brows tightly and stormed out of his office!
Who the hell could it be!?
Broad daylight, and someone dared to brazenly kidnap one of his own!
She said she was at the Mu family and was preparing to return—could it be Mu Shaoqian?
Yan Xinxin never could have predicted it: as she was walking toward the bus stop while talking to Mo Chuxi, Mu Shaoqian suddenly drove in and intercepted her!
Even worse, he snatched her phone away and turned it off.
Mu Shaoqian demanded.
Her instincts told her that getting in the car would definitely lead to trouble.
Yan Xinxin looked at Mu Shaoqian, her demeanor still composed.
"If you don’t return my phone, I’ll call the police."
Mu Shaoqian sneered, tossing her phone into his sports car right in front of Yan Xinxin.
"Go ahead, call the police!"
Yan Xinxin glared defiantly with her large, beautiful eyes. After speaking, she turned to leave.
Mu Shaoqian felt a tightness in his chest as he watched her petite figure turning away. He reached out and grabbed her slender arm.
"I told you to get in the car!"
"I won’t get into your car. Let go of me!"
Mu Shaoqian suddenly released her arm, shoving her toward the car instead.
Yan Xinxin frowned, feeling a faint pain in her lower abdomen.
"Yan Xinxin, don’t force me to use force!"
"What exactly do you want?"
Yan Xinxin was frustrated to the point of anger, knowing she wasn’t alone now and had the little one in her belly to think about. She had no choice but to stabilize her emotions.
"If you want to know, get in the car!"
Mu Shaoqian said as he opened the passenger door and directly pushed her inside.
Yan Xinxin didn’t dare struggle. She couldn’t forget Mo Chuxi’s warning: she had already bled twice and absolutely couldn’t risk a third time.
Mu Shaoqian drove fast. Yan Xinxin felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
The moment the car stopped, she jumped out and ran to the roadside to retch.
Mu Shaoqian didn’t care how unwell she was; he grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward a high-end club right in front of them.
"Let go! Mu Shaoqian, let go of me!"
"Let go? I’ll let you go when the time comes!"
Mu Shaoqian sneered coldly, forcibly dragging Yan Xinxin into a private VIP box.
As the door opened, a whirl of smoke and sensual music greeted her. Yan Xinxin saw a group of men and women in disheveled attire.
"Buddies, here’s your good catch!"
Mu Shaoqian said with a laugh, shoving Yan Xinxin forward.
