Yun Xi had a good night's sleep and slept until dawn. When she woke up, she was confused for a moment. It took her a while to remember where she was.

She quickly looked to her side...

Fortunately, it didn't cross the line, and she felt a lot more at ease.

She thought she wouldn't sleep well last night, or even suffered from insomnia, but she didn't expect that apart from being a little hot, she was quite comfortable.

Tsk! The clothes on her back were a little damp. She probably sweated because the quilt was too tight. No wonder she felt hot last night.

Qin Mufeng's heartbeat hidden under the quilt was abnormally fast.

Fortunately, he acted quickly enough. When he saw that she was about to wake up, he quickly evacuated and put the pillow back in place in time.

After the tension passed, a secret emotion that belonged to him spread in his heart, and he actually felt a hint of sweetness.

Last night, when he held her in his arms, some memories sleeping deep in his brain seemed to be awakened for a moment.

Qin Mufeng's heart was beating wildly because of his own thoughts. A crazy idea took root in his mind and he couldn't get rid of it.

If he was unwilling to believe that the woman that night was Liu Ruyan, it was because of his inner instinctive rejection.

So now, there is more rational analysis in the instinctive disgust and rejection.

This idea excited him for most of the night, and it was also the reason why he almost didn't wake up in time to restore the scene of the crime this morning.

The damp feeling on her body was really not pleasant, so Yun Xi endured it for a long time and decided to take a shower before breakfast.

She picked up her clothes, glanced at the sleeping man with a complicated expression, and quietly left the house.

Qin Mufeng opened his eyes after she left. Qin Yi's investigation would not yield results so quickly. He planned to personally explore Liu Ruyan's tone of voice.

Liu Ruyan originally wanted to watch Yun Xi leave the Hou Mansion in despair in the yard yesterday. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hou sent someone to discuss her marriage to Qin Mufeng, so she could only take the first step with regret.

.

She was extremely excited after that, so naturally she didn't care when Yun Xi left, so she didn't know that Yun Xi not only didn't leave, but also stayed.

Even what she expected and Li Shu turned out to be nothing.

Now I saw Qin Mufeng coming to see her during breakfast time, and I was extremely happy. I thought he was looking for her to discuss the wedding date.

"Young Master, you came so early." Liu Ruyan said with a shy smile.

Qin Mufeng thought that she might have tricked him in what happened between them, and he felt a sense of disgust in his heart, and he was even more inclined to think that the person that night was not her.

He sat down opposite her with a faint warm smile on his face and said, "I have been immersed in the sadness of my grandmother's death before and ignored your feelings. I hope you don't mind."

Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up, and she felt more and more that he had come to discuss marriage with her.

"Young master, please don't say that. The old lady passed away suddenly, and Yan'er is also very sad."

Liu Ruyan blinked, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Grandma will be very relieved to know that you miss her so much."

When Liu Ruyan heard this, she started to perform even harder. She pinched her thighs hard with her hands under the table, and didn't stop until there was moisture in her eyes.

"The eldest son must cheer up as soon as possible, so that grandma can leave with peace of mind."

Qin Mufeng nodded without comment.

"Grandma always hoped that Yunxi and I could get along well, but I..."

He deliberately said half of what he said, and put on a just right look of sadness and guilt on his face.

Liu Ruyan didn't think much, but comforted him a few words and couldn't help but ask him the reason for his visit.

"Young Master, why did you come to Yan'er so early...?"

Qin Mufeng looked at her looking expectant and pretending to be calm and shook his head secretly. Her temperament was completely different from Yun Xi's.

This can't help but make him doubt his previous judgment. Can such a person really come up with such a plan and lie to himself for so long?

If everything was as he suspected, how blind must he be to let her scheme succeed?

"That's right, you saved me when I was being hunted before. I have been investigating the origins of those people. You also know that I was poisoned that night, and I was a little confused. I don't remember some details very clearly, so I hope

I can get some help from you."

When Liu Ruyan heard him mention what happened that night, her eyes subconsciously dodge, and the expression on her face became a little unnatural for a moment.

Although she quickly adjusted to her condition, she was still looked at seriously by Qin Mufeng, who was interested in paying attention to her.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but be overjoyed. It seemed that his guess was good and there must be something inside.

"It was a bit dark that night, and the situation was so urgent. Yan'er only focused on saving the young master and didn't pay too much attention. Later, you..."

Liu Ruyan didn't know what happened when Yun Xi rescued Qin Mufeng. When he asked, she had to tell him. She could only make up a vague explanation based on what she saw later.

Little did she know that what she thought was a foolproof method turned out to be Qin Mufeng's key evidence that she was not the woman that night.

He clearly remembered that the woman didn't even think about saving him that night. If he hadn't seen her good skills and forced her into the water, what happened next would never have happened.

But he couldn't figure it out. If she wasn't the person that night, why was she alone when he woke up? Where was the one who really saved him? Could she be Yun Xi?

Qin Mufeng had so many things in his mind that he desperately wanted to sort them out.

He calmly showed a hint of disappointment.

"That's it."

"I was surrounded by so many killers at that time. Why did Yan'er risk life and death to save me? Aren't you afraid?"

Who knows what Yun Xi was thinking? Seeing so many killers, she didn’t know how to hide and rushed to save them. I don’t know when she learned such powerful kung fu. My brother probably doesn’t know she knows kung fu yet.

Liu Ruyan complained about Yun Xi in her heart while thinking about how to answer.

"When Yan'er was young, she was lucky enough to be mentored by Wu Xufa, the god of escorts. She also loved to listen to stories about heroes who encountered injustice on the road. She was very envious and yearned for them."

"When I saw you being besieged, I didn't think much about it. I rushed forward as soon as I got excited."

Liu Ruyan observed Qin Mufeng's reaction as he spoke. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about him, she pretended to be shy and blushed, lowering her head in relief.

Little did she know that the more she talked, the more mistakes she made. What she thought was Qin Mufeng's deep faith was just the perfect mask he had cultivated over the years to treat others with gentleness and indifference. Of course, except in front of Yun Xi.

In the past, he still didn't understand why his emotions always collapsed in front of her. It turned out that she had treated him differently from the beginning, and it was only because he was too slow...
