Chapter 1433: Chapter 1428: Boo hoo, don’t be fierce with me

Although she had never seen what the other assassins from Silver Moon Pavilion looked like, the one named Chaser by Xiao Yu’s side… Killing in a blink, taking lives imperceptibly, was truly terrifying!

During the days Chaser was monitoring her and her servant, she hadn’t been able to sleep at all, for every time she closed her eyes, she saw herself already lying dead.

After some consideration, Mu Qianya realized it indeed wouldn’t be easy; Xiao Yu must have put a lot of effort into getting someone like Chaser and wouldn’t let him be easily persuaded to switch sides.

But she intended to make a deal with Xiao Yu and wasn’t going to leave him anytime soon.

So she had some time to think about how to get a highly skilled guard to protect herself, ensuring her future position as the head of the Mu Family.

She knew well that the same troubles Xiao Yu encountered could happen to her too.

Moreover, this wasn’t the first time she had narrowly escaped death.

However, her stubborn father, who taught her to read and manage account books, never allowed her to learn martial arts, saying a woman without talents was virtuous and knowing too much could disrupt the entire family.

She didn’t believe it and was determined to fight for the head of the family position, which was supposedly reserved for men only!

During the days Su Miaoyan was healing, she just slept and ate, ate and slept. Besides the daily acupuncture and massage from Mu Qianya, Xiao Yu had also specifically arranged for a female doctor to prepare medicinal baths for her, providing daily comfort.

The bath was ready, and Su Miaoyan walked reluctantly to its edge, grimacing at the dark medicinal broth, unwilling to get in.

“Yan’er, be good. Soaking in the medicinal bath will nourish your body. Your injuries were severe.”

Xiao Yu reminded her gently from behind.

Even though the world said he had become a bloodthirsty and ruthless man, he always showed his gentlest side to Su Miaoyan.

Su Miaoyan detested him and turned around, pouting and complaining, “You go out, out, out! I want to wash by myself, don’t want you watching me wash or washing with you!”

Having recuperated these past days, her cheeks had plumped up, steam enveloped her, and a blush rose to her soft, inviting skin, resembling tender marshmallows.

Xiao Yu’s eyes, cold and deep, stared at her, “Yan’er, soak obediently.”

“I don’t want to!”

Su Miaoyan pouted, showing her stubbornness.

Yet, her persistence only resulted in the bathwater cooling down, and Xiao Yu had to order fresh medicinal water added. Su Miaoyan held out and held out until she grew sleepy.

She huffed, turned her back, stripped, and finally soaked into the bath.

As she bathed, she muttered softly, “Big villain! Big villain! I’ll run away!”

Someday, she would manage to escape and not get caught again!

But if she did run, where could she go?

Soaking in the water, Su Miaoyan started to contemplate this question; she couldn’t remember anything, only recognizing this big villain, the people around him, and Sister Mu, this Jiang Du City…

That’s right, hadn’t Sister Mu said Jiang Du was her hometown?

There must be family members of hers in Jiang Du City, right?

But how could she find her family?

Once again, Su Miaoyan was perplexed by too many thoughts, which started giving her a headache, and she cried out in pain, “Oww, it hurts so much…”

“Yan’er!”

Xiao Yu quickly stepped forward, pulling her out of the bath, saw her little face scrunched up, and asked in a low voice, “Do you have a headache? What are you thinking about? Don’t think anymore!”

The female doctor had said that Su Miaoyan’s amnesia was due to the accumulation of blood clots in her brain, that her memory would recover, but her headaches would also get progressively worse.

“Woo, woo… terrible…”

Su Miaoyan’s eyes reddened, brimming with tears, her voice as soft and thin as gossamer, stirring one’s heartstrings.

Xiao Yu fetched her clothes, “You’ve soaked enough, get up now.”

“Woo, woo, I don’t want to.”

Su Miaoyan just didn’t want to listen to him. The more he tried to control her, the more she detested him, and so she kept struggling.

But Xiao Yu was stronger than her, and with a bit of force, he lifted her out, dressed her in her nightgown, and carried her to the bed.

Su Miaoyan kept throwing punches at him with her little hands, but Xiao Yu remained indifferent, confining her deep into the bed. Su Miaoyan disliked his scent, hated the feeling of being imprisoned by him. She would always scratch and bite him; her little claws, unexpectedly, scratched Xiao Yu’s face, and a streak of blood appeared on his cheek in an instant.

Su Miaoyan seemed startled, “Your face… it’s bleeding.”

He immediately turned cold and grim, sending chills down Su Miaoyan’s limbs.

Although she had always hit him before, she had never scratched his face. Xiao Yu’s face, already naturally cold and stern, now streaming with fresh blood, became even more chilling and terrifying.

Su Miaoyan covered her mouth, continuously inching back on the bed.

Xiao Yu didn’t care about the wound on his face, casually wiping away the blood.

With a stretch of his long arm, he pulled Su Miaoyan back, imprisoning her waist.

His forehead against hers, he said, “Yan’er, don’t think about escaping. You can only be mine, you can’t leave me.”

“I am not yours…” Su Miaoyan struggled softly in his embrace, only to be met with a resonant voice from Xiao Yu’s chest, “You can only be mine.”

His voice was cold and piercing, sending a chill deep into Su Miaoyan’s bones.

The only thought in her mind was to get away from this man, this terrible villain!

She spent the night trembling, but since she was shallow-minded, she would be fine as long as she slept. However, that night, Xiao Yu was tormented by nightmares.

In his dream, his beloved Miss jumped from a cliff. Though she didn’t die from the great danger, she was picked up by others. In a remote mountain village, she was bullied. They snatched her clothing and jewelry, even stripping her bodice from her body, feeding her leftovers, forcing her to labor daily, and even when she cried out to the heavens and earth unheard, they oppressed her…

“No!”

Xiao Yu woke up drenched in cold sweat, his lips pale and his face an ashen blue, with the sky outside still a gray haze, not yet brightened.

The person in his arms was still asleep.

Xiao Yu arranged Su Miaoyan’s blankets properly, got up, and checked some account books and documents. He had long stopped caring about his own rest. However, while handling these matters, the images of those lowly people always emerged in his mind.

The Zhang family siblings, that crude man concerned about Miaoyan, that despicable woman ranting about Miaoyan being nothing more than a breeding tool for them.

A rush of blood surged to his head, Xiao Yu tasted a hint of something sweet and bloody.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, angrily clutching the handkerchief, feeling that he had been too impulsive at that moment—killing the Zhang siblings so quickly had been too easy for them!

If Miaoyan had truly been treated by them as a mere tool for bearing children…

The rage in Xiao Yu’s heart was unquenchable. Turning back to look at the person in the bed, his eyes filled with an intense possessiveness, bordering on pathological.
