Chapter 2 His Lips Are Soft

Tong Tong called out to the person inside, and the eyes of Li Huan and his companions outside bulged in shock.

The person inside was... was none other than that person!

The younger brother said nervously, "Li Brother, she really went inside. Could she be that man's woman?"

Li Huan's face turned ugly, "Impossible. Do you know who that gentleman inside is? So many women in Huaicheng want to climb into his good graces, and he hasn't taken a liking to a single one. How could he possibly take a fancy to Tong Tong?"

Noticing that the people behind her hadn't left, Tong Tong bit her lower lip and took a deep breath as if she had made up her mind.

No matter which big shot is inside, please, I beg you, be kind, and don't expose me!

Tong Tong deliberately softened her posture and sashayed quickly toward the man sitting in the center.

The closer she got, the more astonished Tong Tong felt in her heart.

This mysterious figure turned out to be so handsome!

The man held a celadon tea cup in his hand, the clear tea reflecting a pair of deep, enigmatic eyes.

Seeing Tong Tong approach, the man slowly looked up.

The next moment, Tong Tong twisted her waist and sat down in the man's lap.

"Husband, I'm back."

Upon closer observation, the man's face became clearer. Although he was no longer young, Tong Tong had never seen a man so handsome.

"Uncle, those men outside wanted to dishonor me. Please, I'm begging you, help me out."

The man looked at Tong Tong in his arms, his gaze growing darker.

Where did this child come from, daring to crawl into his arms?

He clenched Tong Tong's arm, ready to push her away, but the girl's other hand, soft and boneless, rested on his, clambering up his forearm, and just like that, she leaned in and kissed him.

Tong Tong closed her eyes. She couldn't let him push her away, and she couldn't let the man speak. Once he opened his mouth, if Li Huan heard what was said, it'd be over!

"Li Brother! They, they, they really kissed!"

The younger brother outside was nearly scared out of his wits.

According to the information, the one sitting inside was none other than the famous Mu Jingyan of Huaicheng!

People from the outside world often joked that Huaicheng shouldn't be called Huaicheng, it should be called Mu City because in Huaicheng, no matter the industry, one couldn't avoid the Mu Group, which nearly monopolized everything.

Furthermore, rumors had it that Mu Jingyan was not fond of women, despised them, and the fate of the women who tried to climb into his bed was invariably tragic.

Yet Tong Tong had the audacity to kiss him like that.

Li Huan's face went deathly pale, thinking if Tong Tong was really his woman...

Li Huan's legs trembled, "What are you waiting for, let's get out of here quick!"

Mu Jingyan was not someone they could afford to mess with.

The henchmen didn't dare to look any longer and hastily pretended to pass by and quickly left, with the last one cautiously closing the door.

Tong Tong was so nervous that her palms were sweating. The door closed with a light noise she didn't hear, as all her attention was on the lips of the uncle in front of her.

This man might appear tough on the exterior, but his lips were soft.

She had little experience with kissing; all she could do was maintain the contact between their lips, and when she felt the man's lips move, she promptly pressed on with force, almost gluing their entire faces together.

Mu Jingyan pushed her away, and Tong Tong, thinking Li Huan was still watching at the door, in her panic, opened her mouth and bit down on the man's prominent nose.

"Uncle, please, save me!"

"Get off, they're gone."

The man's voice was cold and firm.

Only then did Tong Tong let go and realized she was still sitting on the man's thigh. Her face turned crimson, and she hopped down quickly.

"Uncle, the situation was urgent just now, thank you for helping me out of that bind."

Mu Jingyan didn't speak, his icy gaze landing on Tong Tong's face like a knife.

In all these years, apart from that absurd night a few days ago, no woman had had such intimate contact with him.

Tong Tong carefully looked at the man, whose presence exuded the detachment of someone superior. Even just standing beside him felt incredibly pressuring.

She pursed her lips, standing next to Mu Jingyan, she seemed as innocent as a little rabbit.

But clever rabbits have three burrows, and now the little rabbit needed to run away.

"Uncle, I'm really thankful for your help this time. I'll repay your great kindness in the future!"

Having said that, she bowed to Mu Jingyan, then ran toward the direction of the windowsill.

The second floor here isn't too high, and for the sake of aesthetics, the ground floor is mostly lawns. Jumping down from here won't be a problem.

Most importantly, she couldn't ensure that Li Huan wouldn't be waiting in the lobby; jumping out the window would allow her to flee through the back door.

Tong Tong clung to the railing, not hesitating for a moment before jumping down.

"Ouch!"

Mu Jingyan heard the cry from below, stood at the window sill and looked down, only to see the young girl holding her own buttocks, limping away.

The main gate opened again, and secretary Xiaoxun walked in.

"Mr. Mu, I've investigated the incident that night. All the surveillance cameras in the hotel were broken that day, and we're currently still unable to find that woman."

Mu Jingyan tapped on the window sill with his hand, his tone revealing no emotion, "The surveillance was broken."

That woman had planned everything meticulously, quite the schemer indeed.

Xiaoxun bowed his head, not daring to look at Mu Jingyan, "Mr. Mu... there's another thing. The old lady has heard of the incident with the woman coming in just now, and she is already on her way here."

...

Tong Tong rushed home without even changing her clothes.

She clutched her chest, leaning back against the door, slowly sliding down to the floor.

She had long seen that Li Huan was no good, but she never imagined that he would dare to force her in front of so many people.

Fear spread throughout her inner being; she took deep breaths, yet couldn't help it as tears streamed down her face.

Tong Tong was well aware that if today it were any daughter of a prestigious family, Li Huan wouldn't dare to do this, yet it happened to her...

A disfavored daughter of the Tong Family.

Tong Tong spent almost the whole night awake.

Early the next morning.

Bang bang bang!

"You little wretch, I know you're in there, come out at once!"

Tong's Father was roaring outside while striking the door, as if he was about to smash it.

Aunt Xu feigned concern, "Husband, keep it down a little, don't frighten the child."

"Frighten her? This beast is about to disgrace our entire Tong Family!"

Tong Tong had just stood up when the next second, the door was kicked open with a "bang."

Tong's Father stormed in, his large hand directly grasping Tong Tong's hair and dragging her out.

"What are you doing, let go of me!"

Tong Tong struggled continuously, but Tong's Father's strength was too great, beyond her ability to resist.

"This matter has alarmed the old lady Tong; you really seem to be growing more capable!"

Old Lady Tong!

At these four words, Tong Tong subconsciously trembled, her fingers icy cold.

In the Tong Family living room, the old lady Tong sat in the middle with her cane, surrounded by two rows of bodyguards and servants.

Tong Tong knelt in the center, surrounded by scrutinizing, amused gazes.

Old Lady Tong: "Tong Tong, do you know who Li Huan is?"

Tong Tong hung her head and said nothing.

Old Lady Tong: "I want you to answer!"

Clenching her fists little by little, Tong Tong slowly began, "The youngest main heir of the Li Family, the Li Family..."

"Wrong."

"Li Huan, he is your betrothed, your future husband. Today's events, your resistance against him, that was a grievous mistake!"

Tong Tong couldn't believe it, "Old Lady Tong, but he tried to force me in public, even consenting to let others join in the indecency."

Old Lady Tong remained expressionless, "So you resisted Li Huan and hit him on the head with an object?"

"Now that you're engaged to Li Huan, you belong to him. Whatever he tells you to do, you bear it! Our Tong Family cannot afford to lose face because of you!"

"Now go and apologize to the Li Family at once!"

For a moment, Tong Tong's blood ran cold.

To go... and apologize?
