Chapter 283: The Bumpkin Girl Who Returns a Favor (26)
Mu Zhou scratched his chest, leaving several red marks. The force was so strong that blood could be seen faintly.
But Jiang Jizhou didn't feel any pain, and even wanted her to use more force.
It was not until the person in his arms collapsed drowsily on his chest, crying until her voice was almost hoarse, that he reluctantly put her back and let her rest comfortably on the pillow.
He kissed her forehead and sighed with satisfaction:
"Be good, go to sleep."

No one in the Jiang family knew that Mu Zhou and Jiang Jizhou stayed overnight in their new home.
All we know is that they went out for dinner and a date in the evening, but no one knows when they will be back.
After all, the Jiang family is very big, and it is difficult to know without paying special attention.
Except Jiang Yunxi.
He sat in the living room until the early hours of the morning.
It was not until his heart felt like it had sunk into an ice cave and his whole body was cold that he realized they would not come back.
But he was stubborn and didn't want to leave, as if torturing himself, and he had to wait for them.
It was not until the next morning that Mu Zhou and Jiang Jizhou returned.
It was still early, and Mu Zhou had no idea that there was someone sitting in the living room.
She almost screamed out loud.
She took a step back and leaned into Jiang Jizhou's arms before she calmed down.
After seeing that it was Jiang Yunxi, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
He sat there motionless early in the morning, and I didn't know who he was trying to scare.
But she was in a good mood today, so she still said good morning.
Jiang Jizhou saw at a glance the dark circles under his eyes and the red bloodshot under his eyes.
Guess he didn't get much sleep.
However, Jiang Jizhou was in a very good mood at the moment, so he just glanced away from Mu Zhou's gaze that was almost sticking to him, with an obvious warning in his eyes.
Mu Zhou pulled Jiang Jizhou upstairs.
Jiang Yunxi looked at them silently, his eyes growing colder and colder.
*
Jiang Jizhou still had to go to work on a nice weekend, so after changing his clothes, he left in a hurry.
After lunch, Mu Zhou planned to take a nap.
She was really sleepy after all the noise last night.
But just as she went up to the second floor, Jiang Yunxi stopped her.
He looked very decadent, without even having his hair done, and it still looked a bit messy.
Mu Zhou took a step back in disgust and kept his distance.
"what happened?"
Jiang Yunxi gritted his teeth.
He didn't want to continue deceiving himself, he wanted to express his feelings without restraint.
He was ready to risk everything and no longer worry about anything.
Jiang Yunxi looked at Mu Zhou with a rare serious look on his face:
"Mu Zhou, I like you."
"I've liked you since a long time ago, before you were with my brother."
"It's just that I used to be too concerned about my reputation. I always felt that if I said I didn't like you at the beginning, you would laugh at me if I admitted that I liked you, so I never dared to say it."
"But I didn't expect that I would miss you so completely."
"I thought I could bury my love for you, but now I find that I can't do it at all."
The pain and affection on his face did not seem fake.
However, this sudden confession did not make Mu Zhou excited or shy at all.
She just felt disgusted.
Suddenly thinking of Chu Tian, she couldn't help but say:
"Aren't you already with Chu Tian?"
Her question gave Jiang Yunxi a glimmer of hope.
He immediately explained:
"There's nothing between me and her, trust me."
While he was drinking in a bar abroad to drown his sorrows, he met Chu Tian by chance.
Chu Tian sent him back to his residence and took care of him all night.
At that time, he suddenly saw the news that Jiang Jizhou's proposal was successful on his circle of friends. He wanted to return to China but couldn't, so he was completely depressed.
When he woke up and saw Chu Tian, he was not surprised and his mood was still as depressed.
Chu Tian couldn't help crying and accused him of not taking care of his body and getting himself into this state for someone he was already engaged to.
She said that in her heart, Jiang Yunxi will always be that flamboyant but kind-hearted child of destiny.
She hopes he can forget the past and start a new life.
Jiang Yunxi did not refute, but asked her inexplicably:
"Do you like me?"
Chu Tian admitted it.
Then, they started dating.
Facing Mu Zhou at this time, Jiang Yunxi couldn't wait to explain:
"But I've made it clear to her that I'm just using her to forget you. I don't like her. I'm telling her now that we'll never see each other again. This is a complete break."
He said this anxiously, took out his cell phone and called Chu Tian.
But unexpectedly, the cell phone rang behind him.
He was stunned and looked back.
Chu Tian was on the other side of the corridor, his face covered in wounds.
Today is her birthday, but Jiang Yunxi didn't remember it and didn't go to look for her.
She threw away all her self-esteem and came to him on her own initiative, but unexpectedly, she heard these words.
She walked closer stiffly and looked at Jiang Yunxi:
"Hasn't our time together shaken you at all? I'm in your heart..."
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Yunxi interrupted her:
"I don't like you, I've said that from the beginning."
His voice was cold, and he didn't care about Chu Tian's sadness at all.
He just wanted to cut ties with her as soon as possible so that Mu Zhou could know his feelings.
Mu Zhou had actually seen Chu Tian a long time ago, and it was because he saw her that he asked about her.
She just didn't expect that Jiang Yunxi would be so cruel.
Looking at these two people at this moment, Mu Zhou couldn't help but speak out:
"Wait, wait, wait, handle yourselves however you like, but don't involve me."
She looked at Jiang Yunxi again, her words full of confusion:
"I've thought carefully about it, and there's probably nothing you could misunderstand about me in the past. But no matter what, I'm going to reiterate now that I don't like you."
Jiang Yunxi didn't want to hear her say this, he just regretted:
"I know I was wronged by you in the past. If I hadn't been such a jerk, Jiang Jizhou wouldn't have had the chance to steal your love!"
Mu Zhou corrected him:
"You're overthinking it. Even if you had confessed a few years earlier, my answer would still be the same. From the beginning to the end, I never liked you."
Jiang Yunxi didn't believe it. When her grandmother mentioned the engagement, she was obviously happy.
She was so sad when he disagreed.
He remembered every detail of the past clearly, trying to prove Mu Zhou's love for him.
But Mu Zhou denied everything.
"You're being a bit too sentimental. I wasn't sad at first, I was angry. Anyone humiliated by a stranger would be furious. Besides, I've liked Brother Jizhou from the beginning and have no interest in you."
This made Jiang Yunxi completely collapse.
He couldn't believe that his regrets all along were just delusions.
He felt that Mu Zhou must have been deceived by Jiang Jizhou.
Jiang Jizhou is very cunning. He is much older than her and is the best at deceiving people.
He was eager to expose the ruthless side of Jiang Jizhou:
"You don't understand Jiang Jizhou at all. The gentleman he acted like in front of you was all fake. The reason I've been abroad all these years is because he knew I liked you, and he had people stop me from returning! He also..."
"so what."
Mu Zhou looked at him coldly, his tone calm.
