Xiao Mu walked towards Lauren with ill intentions.

His hand reached out towards her, but it did not go as he wished.

Lauren grabbed his wrist and pulled it forcefully. Xiao Mu immediately cried out in pain, “Let go! I order you to let go!”

Lauren sneered coldly.

In the next second, she kicked Xiao Mu into the pond.

She stood on the side with her arms crossed and looked coldly at Xiao Mu who was splashing about in the water. “This is a lesson for you. If you dare to disrespect me again, you will end up worse than you are right now!”

After saying that, Lauren left in a cool and domineering manner without looking back.

Xiao Mu did not know how to swim. The pond was not deep, but there was mud.

He struggled for a minute or two. When he called for help, he choked on the water. Gu Mei heard his voice and hurriedly found a maid to rescue Xiao Mu from the pond.

Gu Mei wiped Xiao Mu’s hair with a towel as she complained, “Why were you here by the pond? If something happens to you, how am I supposed to live?”

“I’m fine, but you have to help me think of a way to deal with Lauren.”Xiao Mu was furious at the mention of Lauren.

He was the second Young Master of the Xiao family, yet he was kicked into the pond by a woman and turned into a drowning dog. If this were to spread, how would he be able to hold his head up in front of his friends?

Firstly, it was because of his pride. Secondly, he would never allow Lauren to be so impudent in front of him.

“You…” hearing Xiao Mu’s words, Gu Mei stared at him in astonishment.

Xiao Mu was a womanizer, and the women around him were endless.

Gu Mei never said anything about him. He had the capital, and this was also her son’s capability.

However, Gu Mei never expected that Xiao Mu would be interested in Lauren.

“Lauren is your sister-in-law. That won’t do!” During their interaction this morning, Gu Mei did not like Lauren at all.

Even if she wanted to do something to Lauren, she would not be able to do what Xiao Mu said.

“Sister-in-law? Mom, are you crazy? Xiao Ye has never treated me as his younger brother. He has always been high and mighty, but I just can’t. I can’t let him continue to be complacent!”

Xiao Mu’s lips curled up coldly, his face full of evil.

As long as he could get Lauren, it would be a severe slap to Xiao Ye’s face.

Just thinking about that scene made Xiao Mu feel extremely satisfied.

“I can’t allow you to do such a heartless thing. Xiao Mu, I don’t care what you do to others, but you can’t do anything illegal. I won’t help you.”

Gu Mei’s attitude was very firm.

Xiao Mu was the same. If he did not want to help, he would not help. If he did not want to do it, then he would not do it. He could handle this matter by himself!

…

Lauren returned to her room.

Xiao Ye was already lying on the head of the bed. He was holding a business newspaper in his hand.

Since he was sleeping on the bed, she could only sleep on the sofa. Thus, Lauren walked over to carry the quilt.

“Wait.” Xiao Ye called out to her.

Lauren turned around abruptly. Although she did not say a word, her puzzled expression had already explained everything.

Xiao Ye put down the business newspaper. “Do you think this is appropriate?”

He was referring to her hugging the quilt.

“Then what? We’re not a couple.” Lauren asked Xiao Ye in return and stated the facts.

However, Xiao Ye made a request. “Before I let you go, you have to role-play with me.”

“…”

The acting was fine, but sleeping in the same bed…

She does not want to have any contact with the man, and Xiao Ye was still wearing a mask, if she woke up in the middle of the night, would she not be scared to death?

Despite her training and her strong psychological qualities, she still did not want to see it.

“Do you dislike me?” He scowled and said coldly. From the eyes of Lauren, Xiao Ye perceived that but his expression was not worried.

“…”

However, he had already asked the question. It would be unforgivable if she did not answer.

Lauren quickly answered, “Then, can’t I dislike you? You said that you wanted to role-play, so I have to get used to your identity. I’m only 19 years old, and I’m already married to a masked man I’ve never seen before. How can I not dislike you?”

And he was also wheelchair-bound.

Considering Xiao Ye’s ego, she did not mention this.

“Aren’t you going to help me contact the Miracle Doctor Hundred Herbs? When are you going to contact her?”

Xiao Ye became more and more displeased. His face instantly turned cold, as if it was covered with frost.

“I will contact her for you. Why are you in such a hurry?”

“Don’t you think the sooner the better? Or were you just trying to appease me?” Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes guardedly.

Lauren stared at him speechlessly. “If I was just trying to appease you, would I have signed an agreement with you? If I was making things up, how would I know the name of the Miracle Doctor? How about you? If you don’t believe me, why did you sign an agreement with me?”

Compared to other women, Lauren was sharp-tongued. When she spoke, she was frank and showed no mercy.

“So, I have to listen to you now?”
