22: Chapter 22 The Cunning Lolita

Inside the bedroom,

Mu Xinyi, who had finally managed to send away her father and Chen Kai, felt the heavy stone weighing on her heart just begin to lift.

Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps.

Her brows furrowed as she shouted angrily toward the bedroom entrance, "Who is it?"

Qin Ge, with a playful smile on his lips, slowly walked closer. "Young Miss Mu, long time no see."

On the bed, Mu Xinyi was still wearing that tender pink Xiuhe Suit.

However, due to her injuries, the lower part of the dress had been cut open.

Her smooth, flat lower abdomen was wrapped in layers of pure cotton bandages.

It looked like a tight-fitting corset.

It made Mu Xinyi's already slender waist look so thin it could be held in one hand.

What was most eye-catching was...

Despite having such a tiny waist, Mu Xinyi was born with a bust even more impressive than Jiang Yingxue's.

Furthermore, Mu Xinyi had an exquisite, flawless baby face.

Her features were delicate, and her cheeks still held a bit of baby fat.

She was the literal definition of a legal 'big-chested baby-faced lolita'!

"Qin Ge!"

Mu Xinyi's brows knit tightly. "How did you get in here?"

The assassination incident wasn't over yet.

Outside her bedroom, there were experts arranged by the Mu Family on high alert.

How could Qin Ge, an outsider, sneak into her bedroom without making a sound?

"Get out!"

Mu Xinyi kept a stern face, shouting at Qin Ge in a harsh tone.

Qin Ge turned a deaf ear to her words.

He sat down beside Mu Xinyi as if they were old friends and reached out without hesitation to pinch her delicate chin, teasingly saying, "Your skin is quite nice, smooth as silk. It feels great to the touch."

Mu Xinyi was so furious that her chest heaved spectacularly.

Was she seeing things?

Or had Qin Ge gone mad?

This guy breaking into her bedroom within the Mu Family estate was already a great disrespect.

And yet, he actually dared to pinch her chin?

Was he looking for death!?

Qin Ge acted as if he didn't see the fury in Mu Xinyi's eyes.

He moved his hand to turn Mu Xinyi's exquisite face directly toward his own.

Staring at her face clouded with rage, he sneered,

"Getting angry already?"

"Ding! The Daughter of Destiny Mu Xinyi has generated feelings of anger toward the Host. Rewarding Host with 2,000 villain points!"

"Ding! The Daughter of Destiny Mu Xinyi has generated feelings of extreme shame and indignation. Rewarding Host with 3,000 villain points!"

Hearing the sound of the rewards arriving, Qin Ge was delighted.

Taking advantage of someone,

And getting benefits for it.

There was nothing better!

Crucially, he had originally intended to have a proper conversation, but Mu Xinyi's resistance reminded him.

His primary purpose as a Great Villain was to mess with people's mental state!

He almost forgot his real business!

Qin Ge pinched Mu Xinyi's chin, his smile becoming increasingly wicked. "I bet you're thinking of screaming to bring the Mu Family bodyguards in."

"But you're also afraid of complications."

"After all, the assassination just happened, and you've finally managed to temporarily shake off that fiancé of yours, Chen Kai."

"You don't want to cause any other commotion at this critical moment, for fear that someone might find out that the mastermind behind your assassination was you, Mu Xinyi, right?"

Boom!

Qin Ge's words were like a bolt of lightning from the blue.

The previously enraged Mu Xinyi was instantly enveloped in a sense of terror.

She subconsciously retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about!?"

"Nonsense?"

Qin Ge reached out toward Mu Xinyi's back.

He accurately found the lethal weapon Mu Xinyi had hidden on her person!

Holding the dagger hidden on Mu Xinyi, Qin Ge said playfully, "Since the assassination until now, you haven't had time to move the evidence. Should I call Patriarch Mu and Chen Kai in to verify it?"

An ordinary person would never dream that the mastermind behind this assassination of Mu Xinyi would be herself.

Even a shrewd person like Patriarch Mu had been blinded by the obvious.

However, while Mu Xinyi could fool others,

She couldn't fool Qin Ge.

It couldn't be helped,

Qin Ge was a cheater!

The expression on Mu Xinyi's lolita face flickered darkly.

Her clear, large eyes trembled violently before she used an extraordinary level of willpower to forcibly suppress it.

It was true that Mu Xinyi was a lolita.

But she was definitely not a 'big-chested but brainless' stupid lolita.

She was a truly scheming lolita.

The anger in Mu Xinyi's beautiful eyes gradually faded.

She stared at Qin Ge and asked suspiciously, "Was the assassin I arranged one of your people?"

Qin Ge shook his head. "Not exactly."

Mu Xinyi knit her brows in terror. "Then how do you know so much?"

One had to know that she had arranged for a death soldier to handle this matter.

Even if Qin Ge had used torture to interrogate them, the person she arranged could not have succumbed!

With a hint of mischief in his eyes, Qin Ge said, "It's not just the fact that you arranged your own assassination. I also know why you want to get rid of your engagement with Chen Kai."

"It's simply because your father wants to send you away so that your younger brother can naturally take over the Mu Family business."

"Unfortunately, half of that business was left behind by your mother."

"You are unwilling to let a half-brother swallow up your mother's hard work."

Mu Xinyi muttered suspiciously, "The Qin Family shouldn't be able to investigate this much, right? Do you have other forces behind you?"

Qin Ge rolled his eyes. "That's none of your business."

He emphasized, "All you need to know is that I can help you deal with the Magic City Chen Family, whom even the Mu Family doesn't dare to easily offend."

Mu Xinyi was puzzled. "But why would you do this?"

Qin Ge smiled. "I have a grudge against your Mu Family bodyguard, Chen Yuan."

An Innate grudge.

The kind between a Child of Destiny and a Great Villain where only one can survive.

Mu Xinyi agreed immediately, "Fine! I'll help you deal with Chen Yuan, and you help me deal with Chen Kai!"

Qin Ge shook his head. "That's not enough!"

"I don't trust you."

"Unless you sign a pledge."

After saying that, Qin Ge's gaze swept across Mu Xinyi's graceful and curvaceous figure with increasing lack of restraint.

Mu Xinyi covered her chest with her hands, pretending to be terrified. "Qin Ge, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person, taking advantage of someone's misfortune!"

"You're overacting."

Qin Ge rolled his eyes, bored.

They were both thousand-year-old foxes; why try to play tricks in front of him?

Mu Xinyi dropped her terrified act, her brows furrowing even more.

She was surprised to find that the Qin Ge in front of her was not at all the brainless simp for Jiang Yingxue that the rumors suggested.

He was clearly a shrewd fox!

Far more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.

He wouldn't release the hawk until he saw the rabbit!

Mu Xinyi simply pointed to the wound on her abdomen and said helplessly, "I'm injured!"

Qin Ge nodded. "I know. As long as the movements aren't too large—nod for yes, shake for no."

After Mu Xinyi understood instantly, she gritted her teeth and said in shame, "Aren't you disgusting?"

Qin Ge stepped forward, leaned into Mu Xinyi's ear, and blew a puff of hot air. "If you're willing to watch your mother's hard work be handed over to someone else, you're free to find me disgusting."

He stepped back and stared at Mu Xinyi on the bed. "You have one minute to think. After one minute, my previous words will be void."

"Of course, if I can't get any benefits from you, I can go and discuss things with your father instead."

Mu Xinyi bit her lip hard.

She was so conflicted she almost bit through her lip.

For a full minute,

A storm of thoughts raged in Mu Xinyi's mind.

After weighing the pros and cons repeatedly,

In the end, she still couldn't escape Qin Ge's threat.

"Mmph!"

"Ding! The Daughter of Destiny Mu Xinyi has generated feelings of extreme shame and indignation. Rewarding Host with 5,000 villain points!"
