Chapter 249 Her Life Belongs to Me

He walked over, his damp fingertips searching for her chin, "What's wrong?"

Yun Mu pulled away his hand coldly and looked up, "Who is it?"

Huo Tingying sensed something and handed over the phone with a half-smile, "Checking up on me?"

"Say what you want."

Yun Mu didn't take the phone but instead turned her head to look at the script.

He had just asked someone to find Feng Shuo; it shouldn't be that mysterious woman.

Huo Tingying lay down beside her, noticing she had changed into a light blue nightgown, making his gaze deepen.

The petite woman in a strapless nightgown, her exposed skin glowing under the light.

Her long, wavy hair fell naturally, framing her small face, alluring yet not overly seductive.

She was incredibly beautiful, every gesture captivating men's hearts.

It was undeniable that this face would have been a great loss if not in the entertainment industry.

After being apart for so many days, now that she was finally within reach, saying he didn't want her would be a lie!

With a playful intent, he shoved the phone into her hands, "Check it out! This is your exclusive right as Mrs. Huo, one of a kind."

As he spoke, he leaned closer, his large hand sliding to her slender waist, pulling her unceremoniously into his embrace.

Yun Mu felt the man's breathing grow heavier and was also tickled by the familiar scent on him.

But with matters weighing on her mind, she couldn't let him have his way.

Sensing her resistance, the man behind her tightened his hold.

"Don't move. I'll just hold you, nothing more."

Sure enough, the man held her quietly without further advances.

Soon, his breathing steadied.

Yun Mu turned to face him, noticing the dark circles under his eyes, remembering he hadn't slept all night before driving over.

He must be really tired.

With this thought, she allowed him to hold her and drifted off to sleep.

This was the most peaceful and sound sleep they had both had in recent times.

...

Meanwhile, in a five-star hotel in City A.

The man in a black trench coat had just gotten up, opened the bedroom door, and his eyes flashed with alertness as he looked towards the balcony.

In the dim morning light, a man in white pants and shirt sat leisurely on the sofa, sipping wine while watching the sunrise.

Hearing the movement behind him, he didn't turn around.

"Awoke? I've been waiting for quite some time." The man's voice was clear and cold.

It was Yunzhe!

The man in black narrowed his eyes.

His room was surrounded by bodyguards, and this was the 29th floor. How did Yunzhe get in? When did he come in?

Suppressing his shock, he stepped forward, "Shouldn't you be in Southern Mystic Continent? Why are you here?"

Yunzhe sneered, "What do you think?"

The man in black's pupils constricted, "Because of Yun Mu."

Yunzhe didn't refute it.

Although he had returned to Southern Mystic Continent recently, he hadn't withdrawn his spies from the capital.

He hadn't expected this scum to covet Yun Mu's END organization and incite Yun Shuiyao to steal the jade pendant.

Ha, human nature is indeed greedy and dark...

The man in black chuckled, "I thought you'd be happy to see me deal with Yun Mu. If we could control the END organization, it would be like cutting off one of her arms..."

"How come I feel you're trying to monopolize the END organization?" Yunzhe interrupted him.

The man in black smiled, "I am your follower. If the END organization is in my hands, it's as good as being in yours."

Yunzhe's cold eyes held a mocking smile, "Yun Mu was once your family head. You betrayed her; you could betray me in the future."

"It's different! You should have heard when you were back in Southern Mystic Continent that Yun Mu isn't of the main bloodline of the Yun family."

Yunzhe's face turned cold, "Just baseless rumors!"

"No smoke without fire."

Yunzhe curled his lips in derision, "By your logic, because Yun Mu isn't of the main bloodline, you betrayed her. Then I, an adopted son of the Yun family, am even less legitimate, right?"

"You're different. The old patriarch relied heavily on you. If the Yun family has to choose the next head, only you are suitable," said the man in black.

Yunzhe's eyes were deep and he remained silent.

The man in black carefully read his expression, a thought flashing through his mind. He probed, "Did you come all the way here because you're worried about END falling into my hands, or because you're afraid I might take the opportunity to kill Yun Mu?"

Yunzhe drained the glass of red wine in one gulp and stood up abruptly.

"It's the same." With long strides, he walked to the man in black, slightly lowering his head, and said coldly, "You can have END, but only I can take Yun Mu's life. Understood?"

The man in black breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Fine. After Yun Mu's rebirth, she became quite powerful. Probably only you can truly end her."

The man in black kept a tight watch on Yunzhe's face, not missing any expression.

Yunzhe curled his lips coldly, "Good to know."

With that, he opened the door of the presidential suite and walked out boldly.

The bodyguards at the door, seeing an extra person inside, rushed in in shock.

"Master, are you alright?"

The man in black gave his bodyguards a cold glance and gritted his teeth, "Useless things, get out!"

The bodyguards turned and left.

"Where is Yun Shuiyao? Why hasn't she arrived yet?" the man asked again.

"She has been notified; she should be here soon."

"Leave!"

In the hotel's first-floor lobby.

Yun Shuiyao entered with a cold expression.

She hated being threatened, but with a weakness exposed, she had no choice but to comply with the meeting.

Lost in thought, she collided straight into a wall of people, and her bracelet broke and fell to the ground.

She bent down to pick it up, but the other person had already retrieved it.

He examined the bracelet for a moment and handed it over, "A beautiful necklace."

Yun Shuiyao didn't look at him but checked the bracelet immediately.

This was the main piece of her current season, and there was only one of its kind.

Fortunately, it wasn't damaged, as the clasp was hidden and could easily come loose.

She put the bracelet back on and looked up, meeting Yunzhe's eyes.

"Si Nanjue?" she blurted out.

Because Yun Mu and Si Mohan had once operated on Old Master Yun together, Yun Shuiyao was familiar with him, even having considered breaking his fingers.

Didn't he go abroad? How did he come back?

Feeling guilty, Yun Shuiyao looked somewhat awkward.

"Second Miss Yun."

Yun Shuiyao frowned, realizing she had slipped up.

"Sorry, I'm not Yun Shuiyao. My name is Yan Qi."

Si Nanjue glanced her up and down, seemingly without much suspicion, and nodded faintly.

"Just now, I accidentally bumped into Miss Yan. I apologize."
