Chapter 692: Chapter 691: Isabella Shows Up_1

Lost in thought, the door to the room clicked open, and without looking back, she knew it was Huo En.

At this time, no one else would come except for him.

Huo En, observing the silhouette by the window, couldn’t help but soften his gaze, yet his heart was filled with indescribable bitterness, never expecting to keep her by his side in this manner.

He knew she hated him, blamed him, but he wouldn’t let her go.

Closing the door behind him, he quietly approached Mu Ziqing from behind.

Mu Ziqing sensed his approach and just as she thought to dodge, her body was already embraced by him.

She didn’t struggle, for she knew it was pointless.

"Qiqi..." Huo En tightened his arms around her.

Mu Ziqing stood silently in place, not moving an inch.

Huo En whispered, "Once I sort things out, let’s get married..."

Mu Ziqing lowered her eyelids, and her hands, hanging by her sides, involuntarily tightened slightly.

"I’ve said it, I won’t marry you..."

Huo En fell silent.

"Even if you keep me imprisoned for a lifetime, I’ll never marry you..." Mu Ziqing’s tone was light, yet it struck Huo En’s chest like a heavy stone.

Huo En took a deep breath and, without responding to Mu Ziqing’s words, he turned her body around and kissed her lips urgently, possessively...

The next day--

Mu Ziqing lay sprawled on the couch in a daze, her thoughts somewhat hazy. She stretched out a hand and unconsciously stroked her flat belly, her brow furrowing slightly.

In the time she had been with Huo En, they had not taken any precautions. What if... what if she were pregnant...

If she was carrying his child, could she still make a clean break?

At that thought, she couldn’t help but twist her lips into a bitter smile. A clean break?

Perhaps from the moment she agreed to date him, the phrase "clean break" had already vanished from her dictionary.

Suddenly, the room door was pushed open from outside. Thinking it was Huo En, she kept her head down and didn’t look up.

Unexpectedly, the sound of high heels clicked sharply against the floor.

She looked up--

Seeing the person standing at the doorway, she couldn’t help but curve her lips into a cold smile.

No one else would come here at this time.

Even though she had never met Isabella, she could guess it was her.

The woman had a tall and sexy figure, with striking, well-defined features. Her golden hair cascaded down her back, complementing her blue eyes and making her utterly enchanting.

"Miss Mu... hello..." The woman walked in, closing the door behind her.

Mu Ziqing watched her intently, remaining silent.

"I am Isabella... Huo En’s fiancée..." Isabella smiled as she approached, stopping not far from Mu Ziqing.

Mu Ziqing sneered. As expected, she had come.

But looking at her so composed, so nonchalant, was it genuine, or was it just for show?

Even if she didn’t intend to marry Huo En now, she wouldn’t let this Isabella gloat over her.

"Is that so?" She smiled at Isabella, who was full of smiles. "You are his fiancée?"

Isabella’s smile broadened: "Yes..."

Mu Ziqing gently raised her right hand, lifting the ring that Huo En had placed on her hand once again.

"Then why did he tell me... that the only person he wants to marry in this lifetime is me..."

Her actions and words completely triggered Isabella, making her complexion change.

Huo En actually gave that ring to this woman!

When the two families secretly reached an agreement in the beginning, she had hinted that she wanted that ring. He always pretended not to hear, but now, it’s actually on this woman’s finger!

"The Crichton family and the Nightingale family won’t break their contract, you—will never marry him!"

"Did he know you were coming here?" Mu Ziqing looked at her with interest.

Any hint of fury on Isabella’s face froze in an instant, followed by a scornful snort, "He’s not in the manor, so, even if I killed you right now, he couldn’t save you..."

"You dare?" Mu Ziqing looked at her mockingly.

Isabella’s face grew even more somber. Yes, she didn’t dare. If she did, this woman would have long since become a corpse.

"You want to leave this place, don’t you? I could, send you away..."

Mu Ziqing, upon hearing her words, didn’t show the slightest bit of excitement. She did want to leave this place, but she wouldn’t leave with this woman. In this room, she didn’t dare to do anything to her, but once they left the estate, who knows what might happen.

"Thank you... no need..."

Isabella’s brows furrowed immediately when Mu Ziqing outright rejected her offer without hesitation.

Before her visit, she had learned that this woman had been making a huge fuss about leaving Huo En, so why now did she suddenly not want to leave?

Mu Ziqing, watching Isabella’s brows knit tightly together, couldn’t help but scheme in her heart.

If Isabella could come here, it must have been with someone’s consent. And with Huo En away, the only person with the authority to let her come was Huo En’s father, Adolf.

Since Adolf too wanted her to leave, then—if someone came to the estate for her, Adolf likely wouldn’t obstruct it.

"Let me make a phone call..."

Upon hearing her words, Isabella immediately let out a cold laugh, "Let you make a phone call? So you can tell Huo En that I’m here?"

Mu Ziqing also laughed coldly, "You do want me to leave this place, don’t you?"

As Mu Ziqing finished speaking, Isabella’s eyes immediately lit up. She meant...

"You want to call your family?"

Mu Ziqing didn’t nod nor shake her head, just looked steadily at Isabella, who was showing signs of joy.

A sense of relief rushed through Isabella’s heart. Indeed, she still wanted to leave. That was exactly what Isabella had hoped for.

"Fine..." As the words left her mouth, Isabella took out her cell phone and looked at Mu Ziqing, "Give me the number..."

Mu Ziqing, upon hearing Isabella’s words, couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. This woman, she was actually afraid that she might call Huo En.

After reciting the phone number, Isabella then handed the phone over to Mu Ziqing.

Taking the phone, Mu Ziqing’s exterior remained calm, but inside, a storm was raging.

Isabella probably didn’t realize how desperate she was to make this call.

After three rings, the call connected—

"Hello..."

When she heard that familiar voice on the phone, Mu Ziqing felt an overwhelming urge to cry and her throat involuntarily tightened.

The person on the other end seemed not to hear a response and spoke again, "Is someone there?"

Mu Ziqing, struggling against the sting in her eyes, spoke softly, "Mom..."

Her mother, Su Wanxia, paused for a moment on the other end, and then joyfully said, "Qiqi? Ah, you finally returned my call. I’ve been trying to reach you these past few days and couldn’t get through. How is it? Are you doing well there? Have you forgotten all about us now that you have Huo En, hmm?"

With Isabella beside her, Mu Ziqing couldn’t say much. She tried to make her voice sound as normal as possible, "Mom... I want to go home..."
