Chapter 364: Break off the Engagement and Be with Me

Chapter 364: Break off the Engagement and Be with Me

Yun Mu wore a look of confusion.

Since when did she and Ji Ming get intimate? And who said she was engaged to Yunzhe?

Can it get any more ridiculous?!

But before she could say anything, Yi Jue forcefully parted her legs and squeezed his attractive, muscular waist between them. His large hand tightly gripped her slender, delicate waist, and his thin lips brushed against her pale earlobe. His slightly hoarse voice carried a tone of seductive persuasion.

"Since you don't love Yunzhe that much, how about breaking off the engagement with him and following me, hmm?"

Yun Mu felt a tingling coldness spread down her spine.

She even began to suspect that when she treated his blood mutation, she might have messed up his brain.

"Are you out of your mind?! You want me to follow you? You and Liu Ling are already talking about getting married, and you want me to be your kept woman?"

Absolutely not!

But he deliberately needled her, "Why not? If Ji Ming can have you, why can't I? What can he offer you?"

Yun Mu's clear eyes widened in shock, and she forcefully pushed him away. "Yi Jue, do you think I, Yun Mu, am someone who can be with just any man? Let me tell you, even if I were to be with someone, it would never be you! The last time you gave me that contract, I should have thrown it in your face! You're a scumbag, worse than trash!"

He should have forced her to sign that contract back then.

No, he should have locked her by his side the first time he met her.

If he had known that this woman's appearance would make him so out of control, so unlike himself,

He would have come to the South Ming Continent earlier, before he met Liu Ling, before she and Yunzhe got engaged, and made this woman his own.

Yi Jue's eyes were bloodshot and fierce as he stared at her, his thin lips curling into a mocking smile. "I may be a scumbag, but I don't recall treating you badly. Yun Mu, if I remember correctly, you've had a particular kind of resentment for me since you first saw me. No, it should be called a complex mix of love and hate. We must have known each other before, though I don't remember. But I guess before, you were deeply smitten with me, and I, on the other hand, couldn't be bothered."

Yun Mu was so angry that her head buzzed.

She took a deep breath, "Why don't you say that I was deeply smitten with you and you couldn't be bothered?"

"Impossible!" Yi Jue glared at her darkly, "If I love someone, even if I were to die, I would never forget her."

So, he forgot her because he didn't love her, or didn't love her enough?

Yun Mu's long, delicate lashes fluttered, and she forcefully pulled her wrist back, then pushed him away and jumped down from the desk.

"I must be crazy to listen to you insult me! Yi Jue, listen carefully. My relationship with Ji Ming is pure, and I've never been engaged to Yunzhe. But no matter who I get engaged to, it will never be you!"

With that, Yun Mu turned and left.

Yi Jue was stunned.

She wasn't engaged to Yunzhe? What the hell?!

"Wait, explain this to me."

He immediately reached out to grab her.

But Yun Mu quickly turned around and kicked him hard in the groin.

Yi Jue was unprepared and let out a muffled groan, bending over and holding onto the table.

"You *damn* woman..."

She actually kicked him.

And with such force that it seemed she intended to cripple him!

Yun Mu's clear, bright eyes met his pale, handsome face, her voice cold as she issued a warning, "Yi Jue, I am not a woman for you to toy with. You can refuse to let me go, but you will never get the antidote for the blood disease in this lifetime! Furthermore, if you touch me again, I will cripple you!"

With that, she pushed open the study door and left.

...

Yun Mu stood in the corridor, the cold wind rushing in, and she immediately felt dizzy.

Damn, she had broken out in a sweat from her earlier emotional outburst, and now the fever was returning.

After returning to her room, Yun Mu fell into a deep sleep, experiencing a long, strange dream.

She dreamed of when she was very young, lying in bed asleep. A gentle and beautiful woman sat by her bedside, stroking her little face with eyes filled with love and pity.

"Amu, you are Mommy's precious little one, no one can take you away, you are Mommy's daughter..."

Mommy?

She tried to reach for the woman, but she vanished in an instant.

She woke up abruptly, frantically searching the pitch-black night for the woman's figure, shouting in panic, "Mommy, are you really my mommy? Then why haven't you come to see me?"

She started running around in search of her mommy, and finally rushed into her father's room, where she threw a tantrum, crying, "Father, just now mommy came to see me! I have a mommy, right? I want my mommy!"

But her father pushed her down.

"You are the Young Master of the Yun family, not some unweaned baby! Go to training!"

Pain.

She sat on the ground.

Why couldn't she have a mother? She also wanted to be loved by a mother like other children...

She felt deeply wronged, large tears falling as her cries echoed heart-wrenchingly.

At that moment, a tall and handsome figure approached. He slowly knelt down on one knee, picked up the small girl, gently wiped her tears, and comforted her with a smile, "Yun Mu, don't be afraid, I'm here, I will always be with you."

Is that you, Huo Tingying?

Yun Mu's long lashes fluttered, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

She was lying in bed, with something cool on her forehead. Seeing her awake, the person at the bedside seemed to let out a soft sigh of relief.

"Finally awake, don't you know to take medicine when you have a fever?" The person's voice carried a hint of anger but could not hide the concern.

Yun Mu seemed a bit slow to react, staring at the person in front of her for several seconds before speaking in a hoarse voice, "You are... Yi Jue?"

Yi Jue's narrow eyes gazed at her darkly, "Who else could it be?"

Yun Mu's eyes darkened.

That's right, he is Yi Jue, not her Huo Tingcheng.

She raised her hand to touch the ice pack on her forehead, which was half-melted, then looked at the towels and several used ice packs beside them, somewhat surprised. "You've been looking after me?"

The two of them had just gotten into a huge argument, and she had expected that this stubborn man would give her the cold shoulder for a few days before he would be willing to yield. Yet, here he was, having been taking care of her all night.

Yi Jue pinched the bridge of his nose, his face etched with fatigue, and nodded. "Hmm."

When he stretched out his arm, the ugly, bruised bite marks were revealed. He hadn't applied any ointment.

"Get the first aid kit."

Yi Jue looked at her, puzzled.

She added, "I'll treat your wound."

Yi Jue gave a soft scoff. "Now you feel guilty?"

Cloud Mu weakly rolled her eyes. "Suit yourself."

This time, Yi Jue didn't argue back. He looked utterly exhausted, his voice raspy as he said, "Just sleep a bit longer. When your fever breaks tomorrow, then you can tend to my wound. Close your eyes, be a good girl."

His gentle words at that moment had a certain charm. To her surprise, Yun Mu obediently closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
