Chapter 691: Chapter 690: One Mu Ziqing Is Enough_1

Mu Ziqing looked at the silent Huo En, a trace of bleakness crossed her heart, so he really thought that way...

With that thought, she took a deep breath, raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face, and calmly got out of bed to stand on the ground.

Then she raised her left hand and viciously removed the ring on her right ring finger, and without hesitation, threw it at him, "Take it to your Isabella!"

After speaking, she walked toward the door.

Huo En looked down at the ring that had fallen from his body to the ground, sighed deeply, and then turned to watch the stubborn figure of Mu Ziqing, "Without my permission, you cannot leave here..."

Mu Ziqing’s steps immediately froze in place, heartbroken to the point she couldn’t breathe.

She lowered her eyelids, and tears uncontrollably began flowing again.

Did he really have to hurt her beyond repair before he was willing to let her go?

If that was the case, then he had already succeeded.

"Let me go, I want to return to C City..." She lifted her head, speaking to Huo En with a choked voice, her back still facing him.

Huo En, hearing her words, clenched his fingers slightly, "Impossible..."

Mu Ziqing paused, then suddenly turned around, "Huo En, you bastard! You have already taken what you wanted, what more do you want!!"

"Qiqi... give me some time, I will sort everything out..." Huo En stepped forward.

Mu Ziqing immediately stepped back, "Give you some time? For what? To hide my existence so no one finds out? Or to continue deceiving me!"

Since she entered this manor, she had not taken a single step outside!

Not letting her out, if not for fear of others knowing of her existence then what?

Unbelievable! She had become someone who could not see the light of day, for all these years, she had always been the other woman!

Laughable, truly laughable!

"Mu Ziqing!" Huo En quickly stepped forward and grabbed Mu Ziqing’s hand.

"How many times do I have to say it for you to believe that it’s you I love, it’s always been you, the only woman I love!"

"You keep saying you love me, what about that woman, then? What is she?"

"She is nothing!" Huo En said deeply, "The only person I’ll marry is you... If you’re willing, we can get married tomorrow..."

Mu Ziqing suddenly laughed, get married tomorrow?

If it were yesterday, she would certainly agree with great joy, but now...

"I am not willing..."

Huo En holding her hand froze.

"I will not marry a man who deceives me like this!"

"Besides, don’t you have a fiancée waiting for you?"

Mu Ziqing’s sarcastic words made Huo En feel powerless. He knew she was stubborn, and he had also anticipated her anger upon discovering Isabella’s existence, but her reaction was beyond his expectations.

"Give me half a month... Qiqi... wait for me half a month..." Huo En looked firmly at Mu Ziqing.

"I want to return to C City..." Mu Ziqing made up her mind, no longer soft-hearted.

But the reply she got was only three words: "Impossible..."

Yes, Mu Ziqing was under house arrest, that’s right, house arrest. Every day she was confined in a luxurious room, no phone, no mobile, just three lavish meals a day and, every night, that man who ruthlessly demanded of her body!

She had become his caged canary—

She had never imagined that she and Huo En would end up in this situation.

But even as he treated her this way, she still couldn’t erase him from the depths of her heart.

She hated, she hated herself for feeling this way!

In the study, the old Duke and Huo En sat facing each other, while Butler Mond stood to one side, head bowed in silence.

"Tomorrow, go and apologize to Isabella immediately..." the old Duke glanced at Huo En and said gravely.

"I want to break off the engagement..." Huo En said resolutely, his expression unchanging.

Both the old Duke and Butler Mond at his side twitched at the corners of their mouths.

Breaking off the engagement with such righteous indignation—did he think it was that easy to break with the other party?

Was breaking an engagement with the second-ranked family of E Country’s capital that simple?

The old Duke’s temples throbbed with anger; he was on the verge of throwing everything on the table in Huo En’s face.

"Damn fool! An engagement that took ten years to build up, and you think you can just call it off! It took us so long to wait for a good opportunity for an alliance through marriage between the two families, and you, boy, have caused me so much trouble! Are you trying to kill me with anger!"

"This is something you need not interfere with, I will resolve it myself..." Huo En’s expression remained indifferent.

Butler Mond secretly wiped some sweat from his forehead—it seemed like today these two wouldn’t cease fighting until they’d clashed.

"How are you going to resolve it? By not marrying Isabella? By falling out with the Crichton Family? Do you want to be the death of me?" The old Duke could hold back no longer and picked up a book from the table and threw it at Huo En across from him.

"Sir! The gentleman has injuries..." Butler Mond blurted out urgently, but the book had already struck Huo En accurately in the chest.

In fact, the injuries on Huo En’s body were nearly healed, but at Butler Mond’s words, the old Duke’s heart suddenly tightened.

However, seeing that Huo En remained seated steadily without any change in his expression, the old Duke breathed a sigh of relief. He had truly been driven to distraction by anger!

Then the old Duke harrumphed, no longer looking at Huo En across from him, thinking to himself that it was just right to hit his wounds.

But Huo En’s next words nearly made him choke with fury.

"Since Isabella does not agree, we have no choice but to have a falling out. In any case, I will not marry her..." Huo En’s expression was resolute.

"You..." The old Duke pointed a shaking finger at him, his eyes wide with anger.

Huo En ignored him.

Seeing Huo En like this, the old Duke couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, "If you like Miss Mu, I can negotiate with the Crichton Family on your behalf and bring her back with you. Why must you create a rift with them?"

Huo En’s brows were tightly knit as he looked at his father, and the disdain in his gaze was such that the old Duke felt ashamed.

"I am not like you..."

Huo En bluntly told his father. One Mu Ziqing was enough for him as far as women were concerned.

After his initial embarrassment, the old Duke then looked at Huo En seriously, "Do you realize what consequences your actions could have, how much they could cost the Nightingale Family?"

"I do..." Huo En nodded.

The old Duke immediately felt smoke coming out of his seven orifices from fury—

As night fell, Mu Ziqing stood by the window, gazing at the manor’s grounds, which were lit up as if it were broad daylight.

Right now, all she wanted was to leave this place, to depart from this location that brought her so much sorrow.

She longed for C City, for the Mu Family, for her grandma, her daddy and mommy, her brother and sister, for Cancan and Xiaoxiao, for all of them, for that warm and large family.

But now, even making a phone call to them was a luxury. She knew that if she didn’t wait for Huo En to resolve the issues, he wouldn’t let her leave this room.
