Hugo wasn't good with women and Mu Feng knew it very well. He loved to tease Hugo who was always stoic.
Therefore, Mu Feng gave Hugo the task to protect Young Mistress from those jealous women.
Mu Feng wanted to see how Hugo would handle the situation.
Hugo also thought that it was like other normal missions. But on the very first day he realized that it was completely different.
He couldn't fight against those girls as it would cause a huge trouble. He couldn't even tell them to back off, for it would make them curious about Mu Lan's identity.
Hugo never liked women because they were too clingy. However, his vision started to change when he met Young Mistress. He finally found a woman he could respect.
But things changed as he encountered Anne and her friends. He felt disgusted when he found their cheap scheming against Mu Lan.
