Ling Jinghan said no more and waited in her most elegant posture.
Mu Qianqian's resistance would only infuriate the man beside her. No one could disobey Rong Heting's order again and again.
Mu Qianqian waited for Rong Heting's reaction. She didn't believe that Rong Heting could break his promise. Even if it was just a verbal promise, Mu Qianqian never thought that Rong Heting would be someone who broke his word.
But when Mu Qianqian looked at Rong Heting without saying a word, her gaze had already lost all traces of warmth and even contained warning and threat. Mu Qianqian then realized how foolish her previous thoughts were.
"You are mine, and the person who talks to you right now is me. From the beginning to the end, you belong to me alone."
Mu Qianqian's heart tightened. Even though Rong Heting agreed with what she said previously, she still felt that there was something unknown awaiting her.
Sure enough, after Rong Heting said that, the corner of his mouth curved up a little.
"It's my turn now. I'll get you to make some tea for Jinghan." Rong Heting spoke very slowly and seriously.
Mu Qianqian looked at all this in a daze. She only realized what Rong Heting meant by that.
Lili hadn't said what she was supposed to do from beginning to end. She was indeed Rong Heting's plaything, and she had to do whatever Rong Heting wanted her to do. It was he who had asked her to make tea to atone for it.
However, no matter how clear her thoughts were, she just didn't want to obey this order.
What right did she have to be like a little wife to make tea for other women? She wasn't that kind of woman, and she wasn't willing to have that kind of status!
She did return to that man's side for Mu Shen, but she was just waiting. She believed that one day Rong Heting would lose interest in her and would abandon her, which meant that she would eventually leave him.
Did Rong Heting see through her thoughts and deliberately used this matter to humiliate her?
Mu Qianqian didn't understand. She just stood there motionless, neither running away in anger nor stepping forward to brew the tea that would lower her status.
He just didn't move. He didn't want to move.
The smile on Ling Jinghan's face couldn't be hidden even if she wanted to. She waited for the man beside her to get angry. She wanted to see if Mu Qianqian could still endure Rong Heting's anger.
Seeing Rong Heting get up, seeing Rong Heting walk forward and grab Mu Qianqian's chin, seeing Mu Qianqian's face slowly turn pale due to Rong Heting's hands.
Ling Jinghan waited with expectation and pride. When she was ready to enjoy the contrast between her and Rong Heting, a cold voice broke the silence in the room.
"Mistress, it's time. Mrs Ling Gui has sent someone to invite Mistress and Miss Ling to cut the cake together. All the guests are waiting."
Leng Su pushed the door and entered. No one could clearly see his expression when he lowered his head, but just from his tone, they could guess that he was calm and indifferent at the moment.
As Dark Guard, he wouldn't stay on the side and peep when his mistress was alone with a woman. However, when Mu Qianqian walked in, he hesitated.
This was because the room was no longer filled with two people, but was filled with two women and his master. Whether he wanted to go in or not was never mentioned in the training.
In the end, he hesitated and decided to stay outside, just like Ting Ye. However, he was always in the dark and didn't go near the door, so neither Qianqian nor Ting Ye noticed him.
Leng Su, who was following beside Rong Heting, obviously knew what Mu Qianqian and Ting Ye came here for. Leng Su, who was beside Rong Heting, obviously knew what Mu Qianqian and Ting Ye were here for.
Rong Heting stopped because of Leng Su's appearance. After listening to Dark Guard's report, he stared at Leng Su with a meaningful gaze for a while before tossing Mu Qianqian's chin out of his hand. He didn't care how pale she was when she staggered a few steps away.
"Let's go. I don't like others wasting my time, nor would I waste others' time for no reason." After Rong Heting said that, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Ling Jinghan could do nothing about it. It was her birthday banquet, and she couldn't possibly leave a bunch of people waiting empty-handed because of Mu Qianqian.
Ye Zichen quickly followed Rong Heting, but Rong Heting stopped at the door.
Turning his head slightly, Rong Heting glanced at Mu Qianqian and said, "Follow me as well. When you go down later, stand behind me and wait on me."
After saying that, Rong Heting wrapped his arm around Ling Jinghan's waist and brought her out of the lounge.
After Ling Jinghan and Rong Heting left, Mu Qianqian raised her head in a sorry state. She initially wanted to chase Rong Heting out, but her flustered eyes bumped into Leng Su's cold and indifferent gaze.
It was Mu Qianqian's first time seeing the man in front of her so clearly. Although she had bumped into him a few times before, it was strange that she had never paid attention to his appearance.
It should be said, Leng Su had always kept a low profile and never let anyone notice him. It was even more impossible for a rookie like Mu Qianqian to see him while Leng Su was deliberately keeping a low profile.
Now, Mu Qianqian suddenly saw a man like this. He was not as beautiful as Rong Heting, who was so beautiful that it was hard to look at. The man in front of her was also very handsome, even his facial features were cold and hard.
However, Mu Qianqian wasn't that afraid. It was because this man was looking at her with a measuring gaze. He seemed to be thinking of something.
Mu Qianqian was dumbfounded once again. She forgot to chase up to Rong Heting and even considered waving to greet Rong Heting's Dark Guard.
Just when she raised her hand, Leng Su had already lowered his cap once again as he turned around and left quickly before he had a chance to show any interest.
The words stuck in her throat, the feeling of being unable to swallow and unable to spit out even after being stuck in the middle of her throat, were all transformed into a long breath by Mu Qianqian.
After calming down her inner complaints, Mu Qianqian finally resumed her previous actions of catching up to the man who had lost her.
When they arrived at the top of the stairs, Mu Qianqian only saw the backs of Rong Heting and Ling Jinghan. It seemed that the host had said something in exchange for Rong Heting's nod and Ling Jinghan's shy smile.
The gazes of the people on the first floor were locked onto the two well-matched men and women. The applause was unceasing, but Mu Qianqian only felt that this scene caused her eyes to hurt and her ears to feel uncomfortable.
Thinking of Rong Heting's last sentence, Mu Qianqian sensibly walked behind Rong Heting.
