Three in the morning.

Li Qing was still immersed in his sleep when the phone suddenly rang.

"Who?" he pressed the answer button to his ear. Li Qing rubbed his eyes and asked vaguely.

"I'm mu zhanyan." the voice from the microphone was a little hoarse.

Suddenly, Li Qing sat up from the bed: "Uncle mu? What's the matter with rou'er?"

After a moment of silence, Mu Yanyan took a breath: "Li Qing, I thought about it all night before I called you."

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me honestly, what's the matter with rou'er!" Li Qing was a little anxious. Even in the face of Mu Yanyan, who was very respected, it was difficult to keep calm at the moment.

Mu zhanyan said softly, "don't worry, rou'er is fine now."

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly became nervous again: "what do you mean it's all right now? Is she all right? Uncle mu, if you have something to say, don't betray me."

"Listen to me first," Mu Yanyan said. "I'm calling you as a father, just to confirm whether you really mean rou'er."

Li Qing felt as if her eyebrows were about to be lit. She replied anxiously, "what else can I confirm? I'm 100% sincere to rouer!"

"Even in the face of any obstacles?"

"Of course." Li Qing said without hesitation, "Uncle mu, what's the matter? I'm dying of anxiety by you."

"OK, now listen to me." Mu zhanyan said, "Li Qing, rou'er's marriage has been decided, just seven days later."

Li Qing's body was stiff and suddenly stared round his eyes: "it's settled? What does this mean? Who did he settle with?"

"Who else do you think?"

His face suddenly changed, and Li Qing's eyes were full of gloom: "Chen Hongming! How can you let her marry Chen Hongming!"

"It's my incompetent father. I've been the owner of the house for more than ten years, but I'm restrained everywhere. Even my daughter's life events have to be told by others. My father is too incompetent." Mu zhanyan's voice seems to be full of frustration. "Li Qing, I now have a way to save rou'er as long as you promise."

The corners of his mouth gently pulled, and Li Qing's voice changed slightly: "uncle, don't you want us to elope?"

Mu zhanyan said in a deep voice, "yes, I want to arrange for you to escape overseas. When you get there, you two can be together. What? Don't you want to?"

"As long as I can make rou'er happy, I am willing to do anything." Li Qing's eyes coagulated slightly and thought again. He decided not to tell Mu Yanyan the plan he was implementing for the time being.

After a pause, Li Qing asked again, "how is rou'er now? Does she know the news?"

"I already know. I've been making trouble all night, and I've been shouting for short-sightedness."

Li Qing wondered, "why didn't she call me when something so big happened?"

"Alas." Mu Yanyan sighed heavily, "those two old guys have looked at her and have no way to contact the outside world. Even I can't take her out."

Mu zhanyan continued: "Li Qing, now the only chance is on the wedding day. Chen Hongming wants to hold the wedding at Chen's house, and all the people near Hong Kong will be there on that day. Before the ceremony begins, I secretly take rou'er to the back door. You drive and wait there in advance, and then quickly take her on the plane and leave Lingang. The farther you go, the better. Never come back. Do you understand?"

After a long silence in the microphone, Li Qing's voice came: "I understand."

"Li Qing, as a father, can I trust you with my only daughter?"

Li Qing bit her teeth and looked dignified: "Uncle mu, don't worry, I will take good care of her."

"Well, if you dare to disappoint rou'er, I want you to look good." Mu zhanyan didn't forget the bluff threat, and then lowered his voice and told: "you remember, you must arrive at the back door of Chen's house in seven days."

"Don't worry, uncle mu. I won't let you down."

"I hope you're reliable. Let's do it first. I'll contact you as soon as I have news. I'm sorry to disturb you so late."

"What did Uncle Mu say..." Li Qing's words had just been half said, and he had hung up.

"The old man..." Li Qing put down his mobile phone, pulled a pillow and put it behind him. The whole person leaned against the head of the bed, but his eyes suddenly became cold.

"Chen Hongming, you really dare to rob a woman with me." stretch out your hand to pull the calendar at the head of the bed, turn it over, and the heavy killing intention slowly covered Li Qing's cheeks. "After so many years, nothing can separate rou'er and me. You dare to rob my woman, I'll kill you in seven days!"

After putting down the phone in his hand, mu zhanyan hesitated, tore off a note paper from the side, picked up his pen and "rustled" two lines of words, then folded the note and secretly stuffed it in the palm of his hand, turned and walked out of the house.

He made a circle in Mu's house and finally stopped in front of Mu rouer's house.

As soon as the two bodyguards guarding the door saw mu zhanyan coming, they looked at each other. They couldn't help feeling nervous on their faces: "master, the two old men said..."

Mu zhanyan asked with a gloomy face, "what did they say?"

"They said no one could enter the lady's house until the wedding day."

"Fart!" Mu Yanyan was furious. "I'm rou'er's father. Can't I even see her? Who's the master of Mu family? Who do you listen to!"

The two bodyguards looked bitter: "of course you are the owner of the family. It's not easy for us. You can't afford to offend this side, and the two old men can't afford to offend that side. It's hard to be a man in the middle."

Mu zhanyan took a deep breath, and he knew in his heart that it would not help to lose his temper with the two bodyguards. But who can mu zhanyan go to besides throwing anger at these servants?

Mu's family is scholarly. He attaches the most importance to the order of elders and children. There is a difference between dignity and inferiority. He can't be the head of the family and jump in front of two uncles and scold his mother, can he?

"I just stood outside the door and said a few words with rou'er." Mu Yanyan had no choice but to compromise.

"OK, OK." the bodyguard quickly nodded, "please, master. The young lady should not be asleep. I just heard her crying."

Mu zhanyan stood there. The atmosphere was deadlocked for more than ten seconds. His face turned blue again and roared: "I'm standing at the door and talking to my daughter. Do you want to listen! Get away from me!"

"Ah." the two bodyguards suddenly realized, quickly bowed down and stepped back.

"Farther away! Back ten meters away!" Mu Yanyan shouted angrily.

"OK, OK, master, please calm down." the bodyguard answered again and again, hurriedly followed the instructions and retreated far away. Anyway, what the two old guys ordered was that no one should step into the young lady's house. The owner would not harm the young lady. He stood at the door and said whatever he wanted to say.

Mu Zhan extended his hand, patted the door and called out, "rou'er."

"Ignore me, bother you!" muruo'er's crying voice came from the room.

With a deep sigh, mu zhanyan sat decadent at the door, raised his head, and gently pressed the back of his head against the door: "my father is sorry for you. Rou'er, if you are wronged, scold me a few times."

"You will be at the mercy of those two old things, regardless of your daughter's life or death!"

Mu zhanyan just felt as if he had been stabbed by a needle. His eyes were red and he didn't say a word.

After a long silence in the room, mu rouer's intermittent sobbing voice rang out again: "Dad, I don't blame you. But I really don't want to marry Chen Hongming. I want to be with Li Qing... Will you let me go?"

"If I could let you go, I would have let you go." Mu Yanyan said softly, "rou'er, come here."

"I can't go."

"Come here, dad has something for you."

Mu rouer still sobbed: "I don't want it, I just want Li Qing..."

There was a faint helplessness on his face. Mu Yanyan looked around vigilantly. After confirming that no one could hear his words, he lowered his voice and said, "it has something to do with Li Qing."

As soon as the voice fell, mu rouer suddenly rushed to the door, pushed the firmly locked door, and shouted impatiently, "what? Give it to me."

"The girl's family should be reserved. How can I teach you?" Mu Yanyan rolled his eyes and stuffed the note through the crack of the door. "Rou'er, there's only so much dad can do for you. Eat well and sleep well. Don't think about it. Your father is old and different from you young people. I can't afford to toss."

"If you leave the green mountains, don't worry about having no firewood to burn." Mu zhanyan stood up slowly with one hand on the ground. "You've been making trouble in the middle of the night, and I'm tired enough to go to bed."

Walking past the two bodyguards, mu zhanyan glanced at them gently: "you two, take care of miss."

"The owner can rest assured."

Mu Yanyan left slowly with his hands on his back.

Mu rou'er in the room clenched the note in her hand, ran excitedly under the lamp and looked at it by the light. There were only two lines of neat small characters.

On the wedding day, listen to Dad's arrangement.

Li Qing will pick you up.

Staring at this note, mu rouer's beautiful eyes brightened slowly, and she couldn't help laughing through tears.

He folded the note and stuffed it into his pocket. Mu rouer reached out and wiped her weeping face. Turning around, she came to the door with light steps and sipped her mouth: "I'm hungry and want to eat."

The bodyguard outside the door was suddenly excited and looked at each other. They all felt a strong sense of strangeness. The master is really capable. He made the young lady change her mind.

"OK, miss, wait a minute. I'll arrange it right away."
