“You….don’t you dare!”
Along with her retort, Ning Xiaofei’s struggles also unconsciously retracted.
A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him.
This man is capable of anything, and she doesn’t want to go running naked in the middle of the night.
Walking up the steps, Mu Tianye carried her all the way into the living room and put her on the sofa. The man then sat sideways on the tea table, frowning at her red, swollen nose.
“What’s with your face?”
Ning Xiaofei grunted coldly and turned her face away.
“I’m asking you!”
“Ning Xiaofei!”
……..
At first, Ning Xiaofei just ignored him. But later her anxiety, anger and grievances piled up in her heart, she turned her face violently and stared at him with a pair of red eyes.
“You want to know who did it, well, I’ll tell you, it’s you! The one who said he would never hit me again, Mu Tianye!”
He…. Hit her?
Mu Tianye wrinkled his nose.
And then he remembered the way she’d crouched down on the steps and covered her nose earlier. So to speak, she’d really been hurt then?
There must be something wrong. He just grazed her, but she's hurt so badly. Is she a slime?
Angry and chagrined, Mu Tianye stood up straight and reached out to touch her face. But before his palm touched her, his hand was slapped away.
“Don’t touch me!”
The man’s voice turned noticeably softer, “I just wanted to see your injuries.”
Ning Xiaofei raised her hand to cover her face, “No looking!”
Afraid of worsening her injury, Mu Tianye didn’t dare to strike again, but only softened his voice, “Did the injury hit the bones?”
"Leave me alone!"
The man frowned, but before he could say anything more, the doorbell rang.
Mu Tianye got up and walked towards the door, and Ning Xiaofei immediately seized the opportunity to jump off the sofa, grabbing her bag and shoes and rushed towards the door.
The man sighed in helplessness, but with long legs, he only took one stride, stepped over the coffee table and blocked her way.
With her escape impassable, Ning Xiaofei turned around and rushed towards the stairs.
Dang dang!
The door was knocked again.
Looking in the direction of the stairs, Mu Tianye went and opened the door.
Outside the door stood Zhou Tao.
After rushing to the security office, he finally got to know the truth of the matter, and also heard that Mu Tianye had “arrested” Ning Xiaofei back to the villa. He was worried that this angry man would do something impulsive, and so quickly rushed to the apartment to check the situation.
Zhou Tao looked sideways into the living room behind him, “Madam she…is she alright?”
Before Mu Tianye could answer, Ning Xiaofei’s echoed from the balcony upstairs.
“Assistant Zhou, go to the police and report that there’s a pervert illegally detaining a virtuous woman!”
Mu Tianye lifted her face to see that half of her body was hanging out of the balcony. He felt an instant burst of dizziness, then he turned around and rushed up the stairs.
“Chief Mu!” Zhou Tao sprinted after him, “Calm down, don’t be impulsive, figure out what’s going on first!”
Ignoring Zhou Tao, Mu Tianye took great strides upstairs, grabbed the door handle of the guest room and twisted it. Without unscrewing it, it's obvious that Ning Xiaofei had already locked it.
“Open the door!”
“No way!”
The man took two steps back, lifted one foot, and kicked the door. The door of the guest room shifted, and with another kick, it slammed open.
Looking at Mu Tianye who rushed in, Ning Xiaofei paled in fright. She grabbed the railing with both hands, and flipped over the railing with one leg. She originally wanted to run away, but seeing that the bottom was too high, she had to stop.
“You…don’t come any closer or I’ll…I’ll jump from here!”
“Damn girl, get down here!”
The man roared sharply with an obvious shiver on his tone.
“Madam, you must not be impulsive.” Zhou Tao was also frightened and spoke up to persuade, “Let's talk about it. Do not be impulsive, it's too dangerous, in case you fall, you will be injured.”
