Chapter 108: Mutual Redemption

Chapter 108: Mutual Redemption

Yun Mu smiled and gently patted his cheek.

This man she had encountered through two lifetimes and amidst the vast sea of humanity seemed uniquely different to her.

The female war goddess had never known what it was like to fall in love before.

To her, people were either friends or enemies.

She had never felt heartache or pity for anyone.

But now, she felt an exceptional tenderness for the man before her eyes.

Sigh, it seemed that this time, she had fallen hard.

After a while.

Huo Tingying composed himself, gathering his darkened emotions.

He pulled Yun Mu up from the wheelchair, his expression showing signs of illness, fatigue, weakness, and exhaustion. The moment the wind blew in from outside, he couldn't help but cough lightly.

Yun Mu frowned. "Uncomfortable?"

Huo Tingying shook his head, his voice clear yet deep. "Just a bit tired."

As the one-month deadline drew closer, his health deteriorated further.

Yun Mu looked at Huo Tingying's tightly furrowed brows with concern and led him to lie down. "Then have a sleep. We can talk about other things when you wake up."

Yun Mu lay beside Huo Tingying, her slender, fair arm elegantly draped around his lean waist. Finding a comfortable position, she closed her eyes...

Her heart was unusually calm.

For the first time, Yun Mu took the initiative to rest her head on Huo Tingying's chest.

"Mrs. Huo, are you... throwing yourself into my arms?" Huo Tingying's chest trembled slightly as he asked in a deep voice.

Yun Mu lightly pounded his chest. "Just go to sleep."

A charming, doting smile spread across Huo Tingying's lips. He gently turned to his side, encircling the woman in his arms and lightly patting her back.

It was as if he was holding something he cherished immensely.

His voice, low and husky, resonated with a magnetic charm that intoxicated the soul. "Sleep. Sweet dreams."

Yun Mu's lips brushed against the man's muscular chest, rubbing against it like a little kitten, her voice lazy and hazy. "Mmm."

Overwhelming drowsiness washed over her, and Yun Mu let down all her defenses, falling asleep even before Huo Tingying.

It turned out that redemption was mutual.

It was just that the female war goddess was a bit slow to realize it.

...

On a cold winter morning, the chill was intense.

Snowflakes fell gently outside, accompanied by the first rays of dawn, filtering into the room.

Yun Mu, who had enjoyed a peaceful night's sleep, opened her sleepy eyes to find that the person beside her had already left.

Yun Mu stretched lazily, feeling content. After washing up and having breakfast, she went straight to school.

She completely ignored Li Yunlan's murderous gaze and her sharp, sarcastic remarks.

In the Emperor Group's office, Feng Shuo knocked and entered.

He reported in a low voice, "Young Master, the share transfer agreements for the Second and Third Masters have been arranged. They only need Madam's signature and notarization to take effect."

Huo Tingying sipped red wine, raising his eyebrows, his eyes icy. "Since Old Master has spoken, they naturally wouldn't dare delay. Have we found out who was behind the assassination attempt last time?"

Feng Shuo frowned deeply. "We've confirmed that it was someone from that side. However, since the investigation team can't reach there, we can only let it be."

Huo Tingying murmured in a low voice, "If I hadn't died this time, I really should have gone to meet those people..."

The chilling, terrifying aura emanating from Huo Tingying enveloped the entire office.

Who could tell that this was a dying man?

Feng Shuo cleared his throat. "Young Master is blessed by heaven and will surely pull through. Also..."

Feng Shuo handed over a bag. "This is what our men found in Aunt Zhang's hometown. It should be the camera Aunt Zhang mentioned."

Huo Tingying opened the bag and took out an ancient-looking camera. Just as he was about to turn it on, he hesitated for a moment.

Forget it, he would leave it to that little woman to open it herself.

"Where's Madam?"

"She probably went to school," Feng Shuo said.

Huo Tingying glanced at the time and said, "Let's go to Imperial Capital University."

Imperial Capital University.

Someone had leaked the news, and it was being rumored that Yun Mu had snatched the advertising endorsement originally meant for Yun Shuiyao.

However, everyone had learned their lesson and didn't dare to openly confront Yun Mu. They could only whisper among themselves in private.

Satisfied with the outcome, Yun Shuiyao relished seeing Yun Mu isolated and helpless.

"Those who lack virtue and overreach to snatch what isn't rightfully theirs will meet this fate." Dressed in high-end luxury brands and sporting an exquisite makeup, Yun Shuiyao approached Yun Mu confidently.

Yun Mu slowly lifted her gaze, lazily scanning Yun Shuiyao with a dismissive look, and said languidly, "Step aside, good dogs don't block the way."

Yun Shuiyao sneered, "You might not see much of me at school for a while, as I'm about to join a film set. The script was personally selected by my third brother, a major production directed by a renowned director, aiming for awards."

"Well, congratulations. It's different when you have a doting older brother."

"Indeed. Yun Mu, this is something you'll never surpass me in."

With her head held high, Yun Shuiyao walked away in her heels.

As long as she remained the esteemed princess of the Yun family, Yun Mu could never match her.

Yun Mu, "…"

Damn, infuriating.

How should she deal with the urge to sabotage this green tea character?

"Yun Mu!"

Turning around, Yun Mu saw Wen Qingqing waving at her, running over excitedly. "I finally found you."

"Why are you looking for me?" Yun Mu asked, puzzled.

"Naturally, it's good news. Yun Mu, do you want to officially enter the entertainment industry?"

Frowning, Yun Mu shook her head. "No."

"Why not?"

"Not interested."

The master's response was as succinct as ever.

Wen Qingqing immediately pulled out her trump card, hooking her arm through Yun Mu's and shaking it. "Yun Mu... you have such a charismatic appearance. If you entered the entertainment industry, you'd definitely be popular. Now that a director has called, wanting to invite you for an audition, we can't miss such a great opportunity."

Yun Mu patted her shoulder and withdrew her arm. "Pleading won't work. I'm busy, no time for acting."

"It's a pity to miss out on a major production by a top director."

Yun Mu paused.

Why did those words sound so familiar?

She turned around. "Is this drama related to Yun Chengdong?"

"I don't think so. Don't worry, the award-winning actor Yun is very aloof, shooting only one film a year. He won't be filming this year, so you won't run into him. However, I heard the director is his good buddy..."

"Alright, I'll give it a try."

A sense of mischievous delight arose in the heart of the female warrior.

Overjoyed, Wen Qingqing hugged Yun Mu tightly. "Really? You're really willing to give it a shot?"

"Mm, let's see."

When Huo Tingying arrived, this was the scene he encountered.

He saw Yun Mu nodding and saying something to Wen Qingqing, causing Wen Qingqing to jump up in excitement, even planting a hard kiss on Yun Mu's cheek.

It left Yun Mu completely stunned.

And it sent Huo Tingying into a jealous rage on the spot.

Damn!

In this day and age, one had to guard against both men and women trying to steal their partner!

Truly, morals were declining.
