Chapter 171 Surrender to the Warmth of Reality
Mu Qingjiu raised his eyebrows, smiling, "I didn't say I wouldn't let you go."

Wen Ruoci was a little exasperated, "Then what do you mean by tying me up now?"

Looking at Mu Qingjiu's current look, it doesn't look like he's going to let her go at all.

Mu Qingjiu gestured, and his men immediately untied the ropes that bound Wen Ruoci.

Then he smiled gently, "Of course I will let you go, but are you sure it's too late now?"

Wen Ruoci turned her wrist and looked at him warily and suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Mu Qingjiu showed her the time and sneered, "Look, it's already 9:50 and the wedding starts at 10 o'clock. Even if you really rush over, it's probably too late. What happened in your dream will only become reality. Even so, you are going to go back to him regardless of everything?"

Wen Ruoci's face changed. She remembered the scene she saw in her dream. When she recalled it, she felt a dull pain in her heart again.

She felt that she couldn't bear to see Quan Shijin marrying another woman.

But she couldn't blame him.

But rationality is rationality, and how can I really not blame him emotionally?

Not only did he fail to find her, but now he is getting married to another woman.

Her eyes had turned red at some point, but she still yelled at Mu Qingjiu, "Even if he really married another woman, I want to witness it to the very end instead of being locked up in this dark place by you."

The corners of Mu Qingjiu's lips curled up in a mocking arc, "You actually love him so much that even if he marries another woman, you will run to him."

Wen Ruoci wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes and looked at him mockingly, "Yes, I love him so much. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Mu Qingjiu looked at her absentmindedly.

The word love sounds so strange when it comes out of Wen Ruoci's mouth.

Apart from hatred, it was the first time he saw Wen Ruoci love someone so firmly and persistently.

There was a look of confusion, loneliness and pain on his face.

Suddenly he laughed a few times, his smile full of madness, "But didn't you say that you would never really fall in love with anyone in this world? Those men are just chess pieces dancing on your chessboard? In this world, revenge is your only goal in life, and you can give up everything for this goal."

Compared to Mu Qingjiu's excitement, Wen Ruoci calmed down instead. She looked at him quietly.
"I have said these things before, but I am not a plant after all. It is impossible for me to be indifferent. If it is just a simple transaction, then I naturally cannot really like them. But they are not like that. They are really good to me and care about me. I can't help but like them."

Mu Qingjiu squatted down in front of her, his face seemed to be more painful, "Don't I care about you? Am I not good to you? Why do you like them? Is it because they kissed you and slept with you? Is that why you feel special?"

Wen Ruoci couldn't stand it anymore and raised her hand to slap him in the face again, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I like you just because of these things?"

Mu Qingjiu was like a puppet without a heart. Even though she slapped him so hard, his face tilted slightly, but his expression did not change at all. He only roared.

"Why? Why? Why? Why do you like them so much? You tolerate He Ci again and again, and you are happy to see Quan Shijin? Why can't you care about me a little more? Why can't you look at me with such admiration? What you have with me is always just cold use."

Wen Ruoci yelled at him, "Why? It's because they helped me find a meaning other than revenge, and my life is no longer filled with revenge."

Mu Qingjiu was slightly stunned.

"What did you say?" Wen Ruoci closed her eyes. "Perhaps it is difficult for you to imagine... Love seems to be useless. It is not as good as fruits and vegetables when eaten, and not as good as firewood when used. But once you have seen it, it is hard to forget. Those are the purest feelings, without any impurities. Looking at them, you will be warmed, and sometimes even forget hatred."

"Hahaha...hahaha..."

Mu Qingjiu suddenly laughed out loud, and his laughter was a little crazy and a little scary.

"So, you don't like me, not because I'm not good enough, nor because I'm not good to you, but because when you see me, you will think of the painful past. In your eyes, I represent hatred, right? It's the past that you desperately want to destroy, right?"

The man asked several "yes" in a row, and Wen Ruoci closed her eyes.

"Most people would choose to succumb to the warmth of reality. Sorry!"

Surrender to the warmth of reality...

Mu Qingjiu just smiled, then sat there and closed her eyes. Under the dim light, her jade-like face looked pale, transparent, and cold.

After a while, he suddenly looked up at her and said, "Actually, I lied to you."

Wen Ruoci was puzzled for a moment, and looked at him with more vigilance, "What?"

Mu Qingjiu lovingly tucked her hair behind her ears and said, "Actually, I set the time forward half an hour. There's still half an hour before the wedding starts. If you rush over now, you'll still make it..."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and looked at her with more pity, "But you said that you are wearing dirty clothes, unkempt hair, and so embarrassed. How can you compare with those people who are dressed up carefully at the wedding? Especially today, Yi Youwei is dressed up. You said that if you appear at the wedding like this, won't you be outshined by her?"

When she thought of that scene, she was a little embarrassed, but her eagerness to see Quan Shijin diluted her feelings. She looked at Mu Qingjiu coldly, "You don't need to worry about this, just let me go."

Mu Qingjiu stood up slowly.

"Since you want to leave so badly, then go..."

Then he ordered someone to open the iron gate and made a gesture, "You can go... If Quan Shijin doesn't choose you, I will come back to find you."

"You're really going to let me go just like that?"

Wen Ruoci seemed to have not reacted yet, and was more in disbelief.

Mu Qingjiu smiled faintly, "If you are willing to stay with me, then I am very willing to do so."

Wen Ruoci took a few steps back, "I don't want to! And I really hope that I will never meet you again."

After she finished speaking, she made a stop gesture to Mu Qingjiu, then turned around and left without hesitation.

Watching her leaving, Mu Qingjiu's men spoke again anxiously,
"Master Mu, we really should leave. It will be too late if we don't leave now. As Quan Shijin is getting married today, a large part of the security is at Santa Fe Church. There are fewer surveillance cameras at the intersection. This is the best time for us to leave. Master Fu has also arranged everything for us. Someone will meet us at the airport."

Mu Qingjiu looked at her departing figure and smiled leisurely, but just like the fleeting and beautiful Epiphyllum, he soon returned to his cold and hard expression, "Well... let's go..."

There is a high probability that I will never come back...

Thinking as I walked.

Wen Ruoci, you'd better be happy all your life. If he knew that she was not happy, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and want to come back to find her...
