In general, Gu Qiancheng was not bad to her, so she felt that she still had hope of becoming his wife. Of course, she didn't know if the reason behind this not being bad was because of her father.

He was polite and considerate to her most of the time, but he didn't understand why he brought her back for dinner since he didn't want to keep her overnight.

He wouldn't humiliate her on purpose.

Is it because of her?

Fu Junyao glanced at Mu Zixi who was standing at the table calmly. She was different from other maids. Those maids couldn't help but look at Gu Qiancheng with a bit of admiration. She kept her head down as much as possible and never looked at him.

.

"Drink some more red dates and lily soup." Gu Qiancheng said softly. Mu Zixi was closest to Fu Junyao and stepped forward to help her fill a bowl in a delicate small bowl and pass it over.

"Thank you!" Fu Junyao said politely. Seeing that Mu Zixi's hands were shaking a little, she looked down her wrist and discovered the dazzling wound on her arm.

The wound was completely exposed and unbandaged.

Does this mean that Gu Qiancheng is not very interested in this woman? I hope so.

After the meal, everyone lined up to send Gu Qiancheng and Fu Junyao away, while Mu Zixi did her housework as usual.

Gu Qiancheng was not at home, so the housekeeper naturally tormented her a lot. Mu Zixi endured the pain in her arm and worked hard to do the work he ordered.

Chen Shuyun and Hu Shanshan also wanted to help her, but she firmly refused.

"The housekeeper asked the three of us to go weeding and washing the floor in the back garden at noon today, just because you always help me. Instead of the three of us working hard, it's better for me to work hard alone. I accept your wishes. Let me face it alone.

,I'm fine."

The two of them had done a lot of heavy work during the day, and now they were very tired, so they stopped persisting.

Mu Zixi's last job was still to mop the floor in the hall, and she still mopped it so hard.

While wiping, everything that happened today was replayed in her mind scene by scene. She had successfully driven away Ya Ling, so surely Gu would not drive her away easily again, right?

Not long ago she was secretly grateful to him, but in the next moment he forced her to do such a thing, and later humiliated her in front of several people.

Thinking back on what he said, she still couldn't calm down.

Only by telling herself that she had to endure everything for Haoran could she continue to wipe the floor here as if nothing had happened.

She hasn't eaten much these days, and when she came back with Gu Qiancheng tonight, it was already past the servant's meal time.

She worked for a few more hours, and then her stomach began to react violently, with constant acidity. No matter how hard she tried, she could not suppress the strong hunger.

She looked at the clock in the hall. It was already eleven o'clock at night, Gu Qiancheng hadn't come back yet, and most everyone in the house was asleep.

Even if she hadn't slept yet, she couldn't get food after the servants' meal time.

She lowered her head as much as possible and pressed her stomach as much as possible to dilute the feeling of hunger.

Gu Qiancheng's car stopped silently at the door of the main house. The security guard opened the car door in a well-trained manner and asked him to get out of the car, then silently opened the glass door of the main house.

When Mu Zixi heard his steady footsteps, she continued to mop the floor as if she hadn't heard him.

She didn't want to meet him or talk to him, and she was even more afraid that he might do something shocking at any time.

Although she hadn't known him for long, the feeling he gave her was always so enigmatic.

Gu Qiancheng pursed his lips tightly, ignored her presence, and walked directly towards the corridor.
