I'm waiting for you in the brightest place

Chapter 185 Paralyzing Lu Tingxiao

Mu Yunxi glanced at the dining table and replied calmly: "Not bad, thank you!"

She had finally managed to calm Lu Tingxiao down at noon, using both coaxing and threats. Now all she needed to do was to keep a respectful distance from him.

Mu Yunxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Lu Tingxiao would not force her like he did at noon. But Lu Tingxiao's mood was up and down, and he was full of tricks, so she didn't dare to let her guard down.

She picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of pickled fish and put it in her mouth. She looked at Lu Tingxiao and said, "You're just looking at me. Aren't you eating anything yourself?"

Lu Tingxiao showed an embarrassed look on his face: "I have been eating Western food since I was a child. I have never eaten Chinese food. I can't use chopsticks, and I... I don't know how to eat these dishes."

Mu Yunxi was silent for a moment, then sat next to Lu Tingxiao: "It's okay, domestic food doesn't necessarily taste worse than Western food, you can give it a try. You don't know how to use chopsticks, I can pick it up for you."

"You... OK, thank you!" Lu Tingxiao picked up the spoon and fork and ate the piece of sweet and sour pork that Mu Yunxi had put in the bowl in front of him.

Mu Yunxi noticed from the corner of her eye that Lu Tingxiao had been observing her quietly. She ignored it all, fearing that she would accidentally anger him again and put herself in an awkward situation.

She had no choice but to be humble now. Rather than angering Lu Tingxiao and making things difficult for herself, it would be better to please him while ensuring her own safety.

Then slowly paralyze him and find a way to leave here.

After getting to know each other over the past few days, Mu Yunxi discovered that Lu Tingxiao was an extremely meticulous person, and he would find out anything if she wasn't careful.

It was not known whether it was because the food in China was good and suited Lu Tingxiao's taste, or because Mu Yunxi had never served others a meal like Ye Chenchuan served her. She ate her own meal, and she felt her wrists were sore from picking up food for Lu Tingxiao, and only then did Lu Tingxiao feel full.

Mu Yunxi put down her chopsticks and shook her sore wrist.

In the past, when she was eating, Ye Chenchuan always took care of her in every detail. She didn't know if his hands would be sore. She had always enjoyed everything Ye Chenchuan gave her, but had never thought about caring about his feelings.

Mu Yunxi was pinching her wrist and moving it, thinking about Ye Chenchuan, when she felt her wrist lighten and found that it was pinched by Lu Tingxiao.

"Yunxi, thank you for your hard work today. I will learn how to use chopsticks and eat with you in the future." Lu Tingxiao held Mu Yunxi's wrist and kneaded it.

Mu Yunxi was extremely repulsive in her heart, but Lu Tingxiao's gaze remained on her face. She couldn't reveal her true thoughts, so she couldn't refuse now.

After Lu Tingxiao rubbed her for a while, she pulled her hand back: "It's much better now, thank you!"

Lu Tingxiao looked at Mu Yunxi and found that he felt really at ease when Mu Yunxi was talking to him calmly.

"It's okay, your hands are sore because you picked up food for me."

Mu Yunxi tried hard to put on a smile: "Actually, I'm not that tired."

At this time, night fell, and Mu Yunxi saw the round moon rising through the window glass. She couldn't help but walk to the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky, with mixed feelings in her heart.

It is said that when the moon is full, families reunite, but she, her family and Ye Chenchuan are separated by thousands of miles!

Lu Tingxiao saw Mu Yunxi leaning against the window, so he came over and followed her line of sight: "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?"

Mu Yunxi felt Lu Tingxiao coming to her side. She frowned slightly, then quickly returned to normal. She leaned half of her body out of the window and said, "Yes, it looks good!"

Lu Tingchen nervously held Mu Yunxi's waist: "Be careful, this is the third floor!"

Mu Yunxi rolled her eyes at him from the bottom of her heart, what a hypocrite!

Mu Yunxi tried to lean out: "Since I came here, I have been staying in this room of dozens of square meters every day. I don't even have the chance to step out of the door. I just fantasize that I can see the moon in the wild."

When Lu Tingxiao heard Mu Yunxi's words, his heart ached for a moment, and then he hugged her waist and carried her down from the windowsill: "If you want to see the moon, I'll take you out to see it. Don't... don't do such a dangerous thing."

Lu Tingxiao agreed to let her leave the room, and Mu Yunxi secretly rejoiced in her heart. If she wanted to escape Lu Tingxiao's control and leave here, she had to familiarize herself with the terrain and exits of this manor. "Looking at the moon" was a good excuse to familiarize herself with the terrain!

"Then let's go now!" Lu Tingxiao carried Mu Yunxi and walked out the door.

Mu Yunxi exclaimed, "Wait a minute, I haven't changed my clothes yet!"

Lu Tingxiao paused and said, "No need to change, it's fine this way." After saying that, he ignored Mu Yunxi's resistance and strode out the door with her in his arms.

Along the way, the servants they met looked at them in surprise. Mu Yunxi covered her face with her hands in embarrassment.

Lu Tingxiao brought Mu Yunxi to the garden and found a quiet corner to sit down. Mu Yunxi looked up at the night sky, where a full moon hung, casting a silver glow.

"It's so beautiful..." Mu Yunxi couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Tingxiao looked at her intoxicated expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "If you like, you can come out and watch more often in the future."

Mu Yunxi's heart moved, and she turned to look at Lu Tingxiao, "Will you really let me go free?"

Lu Tingxiao looked at her sincerely, "I said, as long as you don't leave me, I will give you everything you want."

Mu Yunxi was silent for a moment, then said, "Does it include freedom?"

Lu Tingxiao held Mu Yunxi's hand tightly, "Well, as long as you are willing to stay by my side."

Mu Yunxi frowned slightly. As expected, Lu Tingxiao only allowed her to move around in the yard. The manor was so big, how could she leave if she didn't know the exit?

Mu Yunxi decided to agree to him first, and then find a way to get out. "Okay, I believe you." She said gently.

Lu Tingxiao was very happy to hear this and put Mu Yunxi's head on his shoulder. Mu Yunxi put her head on Lu Tingxiao's shoulder, but she was thinking about the next plan in her heart.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, bringing a hint of coolness. Mu Yunxi couldn't help but shiver.

"Are you cold?" Lu Tingxiao asked with concern. He took off his coat and put it on her.

Mu Yunxi nodded slightly. "Thank you."

The two of them sat there quietly, admiring the beautiful moonlight, and no one spoke. Mu Yunxi's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and she knew that she had to be more careful to escape from this place.

next day

Lu Tingxiao came to Mu Yunxi's room to look for her. Mu Yunxi asked to walk around the manor. Lu Tingxiao was quite hesitant at first, but after seeing the expectation in Mu Yunxi's eyes, he nodded and agreed. He said that he would personally take Mu Yunxi to walk around the manor, and asked Mu Yunxi to change her clothes and go downstairs, and he would wait for her downstairs.

After Mu Yunxi changed her clothes and went downstairs, she found Lu Tingxiao waiting for her in the yard with two bodyguards standing behind him.
