Mu Tingxiao's expression froze slightly, but it didn't ease much.
He stared at Mu Nuannuan closely, his eyes sharp as if he wanted to see through her: "What were you thinking about when you were in the basement just now? Did you want to strangle Mu Wanqi to death?"
Mu Nuannuan raised her head sharply and looked at Mu Tingxiao with wide eyes.
The palms hanging by her sides clenched involuntarily. She really wanted to strangle Mu Wanqi to death just now...
She hated Mu Wanqi and hated Mu Wanqi for teaming up with others to attack Mu Mu.
Mu Wanqi had done so many excessive things to her since she was a child, and she just wanted to return those things that Mu Wanqi had done to Mu Wanqi, not to mention that she hated her too much.
After all, she had never had any expectations for Mu Wanqi, her half-sister.
Without expectations, there will naturally be no hatred.
However, Mu Wanqi really united others to attack Mu Mu.
Because of what happened to Mu Mu when she was a child, Mu Nuannuan felt that she was indebted to her, and now she was taken away because of the grudge between their adults, which Mu Nuannuan couldn't accept.
Mu Nuannuan remained silent, and Mu Tingxiao did not make a sound either, just waiting for her to speak.
Mu Nuannuan took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and asked Mu Tingxiao in as calm a voice as possible: "When was Mu Mu taken away?"
Mu Tingxiao frowned and was silent for a moment before saying, "The day I arrived in Country M."
When Mu Nuannuan heard this, she bit her lip and laughed mockingly.
"So Mu Mu was taken away so early?" Mu Nuannuan shook her head and stared at Mu Tingxiao with a cold look: "As soon as you walked away, they took Mu Mu away?"
Mu Nuannuan's last words hurt Mu Tingxiao's heart.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, her tone contained accusations against Mu Tingxiao, accusing him of not protecting Mu Mu well.
Mu Tingxiao saw through her thoughts, but couldn't say a word.
He had nothing to say on the matter.
"Mumu didn't tell me when he was taken away. He kept me in the dark!" Mu Nuannuan became even more angry when she saw that he didn't speak.
"Mu Tingxiao! Mu Mu is your biological daughter! If you had someone protect her when you left, how could those people be taken away so easily!"
When Mu Nuannuan thought about a child as young as Mu Mu being kidnapped by a group of unknown people, her heart clenched into a ball, and she could not relax for a moment.
She raised her voice and her tone was cold. Mu Tingxiao's aura was also very gloomy. The bodyguard at the side did not dare to come over and say anything, so he called Shi Ye.
Tokoyami left not long ago and came back very quickly.
When he came back, Mu Nuannuan and Mu Tingxiao had returned to the hall.
"Master, Madam." Tokoye walked up to the two of them and bent down slightly.
As soon as Mu Nuannuan saw him, she stood up and asked anxiously: "Assistant Shi Te, is there any news?"
The bodyguard who called Shiye had already told Shiye the matter on the phone. Shiye was not surprised when Mu Nuannuan asked this.
He glanced at Mu Tingxiao and then said to Mu Nuannuan: "The people who took Mu Mu away are very cunning. We have been tracking them these past few days, but they have always been one step ahead of us."
Mu Nuannuan sat back on the sofa with cold hands and feet, and the hall fell into silence.
After a while, Mu Nuannuan suddenly stood up and walked out.
Mu Tingxiao quickly stood up and grabbed her: "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Mu Wanqi." After Mu Nuannuan said that, she shook off his hand.
She remembered that Mu Wanqi had just said that those people would take the initiative to find her.
Mu Wanqi must not be just talking casually. She knows the people who captured Mu Mu, and the information must be found out from her mouth.
However, before she could take a few steps, she was stopped by Mu Tingxiao again: "You're not allowed to go!"
Mu Nuannuan stared at Mu Tingxiao in disbelief and said, "Mu Tingxiao, you don't care about Mu Mu, I will take care of it myself! Get out of the way!"
Mu Tingxiao said nothing and stretched out his hand to hold her wrist: "Mu Nuannuan, I will handle this matter."
Mu Nuannuan almost gritted her teeth and said word by word: "I will find my own daughter by myself."
She forcefully shook off Mu Tingxiao's hand and walked outside.
Mu Tingxiao called from behind: "Shiye!"
Shi Ye immediately stopped in front of Mu Nuannuan and said with a troubled expression: "Young Madam..."
Mu Nuannuan stopped, her mind racing rapidly.
Mu Tingxiao didn't tell her about Mu Mu's arrest, nor did he let her look for Mu Wanqi. Why
Mu Nuannuan raised her eyes and looked at Shi Ye, and asked in a cold voice: "Shi Ye, tell me, is there any news about Mu Mu?"
Tokoyami's expression changed slightly, and he pursed his lips without making a sound.
If there is no denial, then there is news.
Mu Nuannuan sneered and looked back at Mu Tingxiao: "You tell me yourself, or should I ask Mu Wanqi?"
Mu Tingxiao looked at her for a while and suddenly called her name.
"Mu Nuannuan."
Mu Nuannuan thought Mu Tingxiao had thought clearly and wanted to tell her the news about Mu Mu, but she didn't expect it. She lost consciousness as soon as she felt pain.
Before she lost consciousness, she saw Mu Tingxiao's cold and heartless eyes.
…
When she woke up again, Mu Nuannuan smelled the aroma of food.
Mu Tingxiao stood in front of the bed against the light, casting a shadow, and said in an indifferent voice: "Get up and eat when you wake up."
Mu Nuannuan looked around, sat up from the bed suddenly, and saw the food on the table at a glance.
She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, as if to verify something, and walked quickly towards the door.
Uncharacteristically, Mu Tingxiao did not stop her, but just watched her walk to the door.
Mu Nuannuan opened the door and saw the bodyguard guarding the door.
The bodyguard first glanced at Mu Tingxiao to see what his attitude was, and then asked Mu Nuannuan: "What are your orders, Madam?"
"Sure enough." Mu Nuannuan laughed self-deprecatingly and closed the door with a bang.
She turned back and looked at Mu Tingxiao with cold eyes: "Am I a kitten or a puppy in your eyes? Are you going to lock me up if you want?"
"Let's eat." As if Mu Tingxiao didn't hear what she said, he turned around and sat down at the table. He looked at her and motioned for her to come over and eat.
Mu Nuannuan collapsed and shouted at him: "I don't want to eat, I want to find Mumu!"
Mu Tingxiao looked very calm: "I will find Mu Mu."
"Then go find me! Why did you lock me up?" Mu Nuannuan closed her eyes and covered her face with her hands to calm down her emotions.
She didn't know what Mu Tingxiao wanted to do.
Why should Mu Mu be imprisoned
Why should she hide Mu Mu's affairs from her? Although she loved Mu Mu, she was not so fragile that she would break down if she knew Mu Mu was taken away.
What made her collapse was that Mu Tingxiao locked her up and didn't let her do anything.
