He Tingchen reached out and lifted the quilt without ceremony, wanting to see who this daring person was.
Mu Ningxi was sleeping soundly when a sudden cold wind hit her. She jumped up in shock and immediately sat up.
The four eyes met, the man's cold and terrifying eyes made people's hearts palpitate.
After a moment, Mu Ningxi realized what she was doing. She glared at He Tingchen angrily and her voice rose uncontrollably.
"You are sick. You stayed up in the middle of the night and came to my room to lift my quilt. Are you a pervert?"
He Tingchen looked at her with cold eyes, and there was sarcasm between his thin lips.
"The evil one will complain first. Mu Ningxi, you have such good acting skills, why don't you join the entertainment industry to make money?"
Mu Ningxi was woken up from a sound sleep, and there was an evil fire in her heart that had nowhere to vent. Now she was hit by He Tingchen's strange anger, and she couldn't help but burst out.
"Am I good at acting? Why didn't you tell me that you were sick, that the sky was falling, or that the ground was sinking? You came to lift my quilt in the middle of the night and you didn't allow me to tell you anything?"
"If you are sick, go and get treatment quickly. Don't disturb my sleep!"
Mu Ningxi's arrogant attitude made He Tingchen, who had always been calm and self-controlled, no longer able to control his temper.
This damn woman must be taught a lesson.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Mu Ningxi's neck.
"In the middle of the night, you broke into my bedroom and climbed into my bed. And you dared to speak rudely. Mu Ningxi, who did you borrow the courage from?"
The man's hand kept tightening, and Mu Ningxi was choked until she almost died.
She slapped He Tingchen's arm desperately, signaling for him to let go.
But those hands were like two huge iron pliers. No matter how hard she tried, the man remained unmoved.
At the moment when Mu Ningxi felt like she was about to die, He Tingchen let go, threw her hard on the bed, and looked down at her.
"Did you ask for this?"
Mu Ningxi had no time to explain. Her body began to cough violently. Just a second ago, the man almost killed her.
Seeing her lying on the bed with a painful look on her face, He Tingchen's inner anger gradually dissipated, and he uttered a word from his cold thin lips.
"roll!"
Mu Ningxi just wanted to escape from this devil's cave. She was afraid that she would really die at the hands of this man if she stayed any longer.
She couldn't use any strength now, and even her resistance was sudden. If she didn't leave, she would be waiting to die.
She struggled out of bed and walked towards the door.
I tried hard to open the door, but to no avail. The door seemed to be locked and could not be opened no matter how hard I opened it.
He Tingchen also noticed something strange and stepped forward impatiently. He tried twice but to no avail.
The door was locked from the outside. He turned around and glared at Mu Ningxi behind him, "What tricks are you playing again?"
Mu Ningxi looked at him with mocking eyes, "This is your old home of the He family. Do I have the ability to force your servants to lock the door and prevent you from going out?"
Her words silenced He Tingchen. She was right. This was the old residence of the He family, and it was impossible for the servants to follow Mu Ningxi's instructions and lock his bedroom door.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mu Ningxi explained what just happened.
"No one is playing tricks on you. It was the housekeeper who told me that your grandma changed my room from the second floor to this one on the third floor, so I came in to rest. How did I know this was your room? I was not stupid enough to give it to myself.
Come looking for death."
He Tingchen suddenly understood what was going on. He raised his eyes and looked at Mu Ningxi.
Mu Ningxi's expression was extremely disdainful, and He Tingchen's eyes fell on the shocking red marks on her neck.
His brows that had just been relaxed were frowning again. Her skin was soft and fair, and the red marks were particularly obvious, which made people feel distressed just by looking at her.
