If those things did not happen, they would be leading a very blissful life now.

Gu Shinian only listened quietly and did not interrupt the butler.

It was only when she reached the doors of the bedroom that she shook her head. “Actually, I also hope that he can be with the one that he loves.”

And not someone with a short life span, like her.

“So, I can’t have such thoughts. It’s impossible between him and me.”

She pushed open the doors and entered the bedroom.

Gu Shinian’s heart ached as she lifted her gaze. It was really impossible.

She dared not yearn for Qin Muchen’s love because she could not live for long.

If she dared to have some hopes three years ago, that little bit of hope had completely turned to dust three years later.

Click.

After switching on the lights in the bedroom, Gu Shinian shook her head and cast those thoughts away from her mind. She found her wallet and cell phone under the cushion of the sofa.

She put them away in her bag. Just as she wanted to switch off the lights, she suddenly saw a photo frame by the side from the corner of her eyes.

She paused her line of sight.

It was a very familiar photo frame.

She remembered that Qin Muchen almost flared up at her when she wanted to take a look at it.

This was a photo frame that was so precious to Qin Muchen. Did… Did it belong to that girl?

Gu Shinian pursed her lips. Over the years, she had been curious about the girl who could seduce Qin Muchen and make him so smitten with her. However, she did not have the chance to find out.

Now, she had a great opportunity in front of her.

Gu Shinian looked around guiltily. After confirming that the doors were closed, she could not resist the urge to walk towards the album.

Just one glance!

She would put it back after just one glance! She was certain that Qin Muchen would not know!

At the thought of this, Gu Shinian became bolder.

Step by step, she walked over and lifted up the photo frame. Just as she flipped it over and saw a rough outline, she suddenly heard a low and deep voice behind her. “What are you doing?”

Gu Shinian was stunned and the photo frame in her hands dropped onto the floor with a loud crash.

She tried to save it but it was too late.

The glass of the entire photo frame shattered.

The air in the bedroom stopped circulating all of a sudden.

The pair of sharp and fierce eyes mercilessly grasped her thin and frail figure from behind.

Gu Shinian turned around, swallowed her saliva twice and explained frantically, “You… Listen to me. I didn’t… Didn’t do it on purpose… ”

Qin Muchen’s chin tightened. His sharp eyes were staring at the broken photo frame on the floor. Fumes seemed to be rising from his body.

A stifling and oppressive force was surging towards her like tides.

“Who permitted you to touch my stuff?”

He questioned her. Even his voice had a murderous aura in it.

Step by step, he walked towards her with an oppressive air around him.

At that moment, Gu Shinian thought that she was going to die.

She instinctively moved a step backward. Her bare foot stepped onto the broken shards of glass on the floor and she felt a sharp pain.

Gu Shinian lowered her head and saw that she was bleeding. She bit her lips hard. She could clearly sense her heartbeat increasing and her breathing becoming unstable.

“S-sorry.”

“I… Ah!”

Before she could finish her words, she had been lifted up.

In large strides, Qin Muchen yanked her and threw her out of the doors. “Scram!”

His deafening roar shocked the staff downstairs.

The bedroom door had been slammed closed. The entire house seemed to have shaken a couple of times.

The butler rushed upstairs and quickly helped up Gu Shinian, who was in an embarrassing state. “What happened? Miss Gu, your leg is hurt?”

“Also, what happened to Young Master Mu? I’ve never seen him so angry before.”
