Inside the room, there was a warm atmosphere. Mu Nian stood by the window and parted the curtains. The person on the bed lay there quietly, seemingly unresponsive.

Suddenly, a light knock came from the door. Mu Nian noticed it and immediately opened the door.

“What’s the matter?”

“Second Master, a person claiming to be surnamed Si is looking for you, he’s downstairs.”

Surnamed Si?

Given the timing of this visit, and the surname, he didn’t need to guess to know who it was.

Mu Nian nodded and then went downstairs.

The villa occupied a large area and felt quite empty. The black-clad bodyguards stood in order at the entrance, passing by the red carpet, next to the building were beautifully carved reliefs.

By now, Qiao Xiaren had already entered the villa’s living room. The outside bodyguards couldn’t stop her and her entourage; seeing Mu Nian come downstairs, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“We meet again, Miss Qiao,” Mu Nian’s eyes skipped over Qiao Xiaren and fixed on Si Limo, “It turns out to be the eldest young master of the Si family. I haven’t returned to S Country for many years; I didn’t recognize you last time. To think that my return would provoke the young master Si, I am indeed greatly honored.”

“The hustle you’ve caused with your return is quite significant. I wonder, what’s the meaning behind bringing Miss Yin to the villa immediately upon your return without a word?”

“Is it not allowed to lend a hand when seeing injustice?”

Mu Nian smiled, that smile carrying an inexplicable and indistinct significance.

“Is the lady you abducted now upstairs?” Qiao Xiaren glanced around the hall; no one was there, so she must be upstairs.

From the moment she entered the villa, Qiao Xiaren hadn’t heard any noise and didn’t know if Yin Xiaobai was asleep or something had happened.

Frowning slightly, Qiao Xiaren made her way upstairs.

“Miss, you can’t just barge upstairs like that.”

“Get out of the way!”

The sheer intimidation of Qiao Xiaren’s presence made the bodyguard instinctively step back, his gaze flicking toward Mu Nian. In that moment of hesitation, Qiao Xiaren was already storming up, her expression fierce.

Wang Yi inwardly applauded Qiao Xiaren and followed her upstairs.

“Mr. Si, what is the meaning of this?” Mu Nian had been smiling all along, but now his face darkened, and his eyes turned piercingly cold.

“I forgot to introduce her, this is my girlfriend, Qiao Xiaren. If you have no ill intentions, Second Master, letting my girlfriend go upstairs to check won’t be an issue, right?”

“Are you here to inspect my villa? Even if you, the Chief, have that authority, can’t you respect my privacy as a civilian?”

Mu Nian’s expression turned menacing, the chilly and dangerous aura spreading around him.

“So, you mean to say that Miss Yin is your privacy?” Si Limo stepped forward a few steps, and their gazes met in midair, “Second Master, I have given you enough respect already.”

Was he implying that if he had not cared at all about Mu Nian’s face, he might have already stormed in with a large group of people?

It was indeed similar to his old style. Mu Nian didn’t say more, his customary smile returning to his face: “A big star like Qiao Xiaren coming all the way here just for her roommate, and a great Chief coming especially to trouble me over a woman, you both together truly refresh my world view.”

“Much obliged.”

Listening to those indifferent words, Si Limo felt an explosive irritation but quickly suppressed it.

The rest of the bodyguards stood by, trying to minimize their presence.

The atmosphere in the hall became intensely heavy.
