"Will she come over?" As Gu Chenyi recalled that unpleasant spat between the two of them at the mall last time, he did not believe that Mu Huan would come.

"Don't worry. I'll have no problem calling her over, given the years of friendship between us. It's just that you'll have to stay put here and not wander anywhere else since you'll not only have to hide from her husband but everyone else from the Mus. Matriarch Mu may have been upset about Xiao Huan's marriage at the start, but upon learning that her grandson-in-law is rich, her greed started acting up. So, she also wants Xiao Huan to announce her marriage to the public. If she were to know that you're here, she'll definitely stop you from meeting Xiao Huan!"

And so, even though he disliked the feeling of hiding himself in this place while waiting for Mu Huan, he chose to put up with it for her sake.

Despite her being such a person and a married woman now, he still could not let go of his feelings for her nor resist getting involved in her matters whenever he heard any news about her. He did not want to behave in such a manner, but he could not control himself.

He looked toward Lin Qingya and said, "Please be quick."

"Yes, I'll try to hurry up. But you should know, regardless of my close friendship with Xiao Huan, she's still angry with me and won't be easily persuaded, so this might take some time. You'll have to wait for me. Don't go roaming about!" He needed to stay here and inhale a sufficient amount of the incense for her to become the victim when she comes over later.

"Alright, just hurry." The man waved his hand urgingly for her to hurry and go find Mu Huan.

Just moments after stepping out of the room, Lin Qingya found her target.

She intended to tell Mu Huan that Bai Xuexian wanted to get her drugged and defiled by her former colleague from the bar and then assist in her escape so that she would be in her debt. Even if Mu Huan were to find out later on about the truth of tonight, she would have still saved her from being framed. Given her frenemy's kindhearted nature, she would ultimately still lend her a helping hand in times of trouble.

Lin Qingya was aiming to kill three birds with one stone tonight — Gu Chenyi becoming her man, Mu Huan mistakenly assuming that she had saved her, and her getting back at Bai Xuexian for beating the hell out of her in the past by making her suffer a loss greater than her gain!

Unfortunately for her, by the time she found Mu Huan, the latter was already conscious of the fact that she had been drugged and had even knocked out the servant who was responsible for bringing her to that room.

Her keen sense of trouble had had her hastily rushing forward. "What's going on, Xiao Huan?!"

Mu Huan lifted her gaze at her.

"Why did you knock out the servant?" Without waiting for a reply from her, Lin Qingya went on with a shocked look, "H-Has your stepmom drugged you already?"

Mu Huan merely regarded her with silence.

"I overheard your stepmom's plans earlier. She wants to get you drugged and defiled by your former colleague from the bar, then let your husband find out about this so that he'll get a divorce with you!"

"And how did you overhear this plan of hers?" she responded sneeringly. Does she think I'm a fool who will believe these words coming out from her mouth?

Her nemesis immediately assumed a hurt look on her face. "Don't you believe me, Xiao Huan?"

"Quit acting. You'd better not have anything to do with this matter. Otherwise, I'll never let you off!" No way would she believe a single word or even punctuation of hers!

"Xiao Huan, without Gu Chenyi in the picture, there's no conflict between us at all. So why would I harm you?! I really did overhear those plans!" Despite knowing that the other woman might not buy her lies, Lin Qingya continued acting as though she had her interest at heart.

"Don't let me find out about your involvement!" With that, Mu Huan turned around and left.
