Chapter 277 I'll Go Kill Her
Chapter 277 I'll Go Kill Her
Qi Mu grasped her hand and pulled her into his arms, pressing his chin tightly against her hair, greedily savoring her warmth.
The next second, the overlapping figures appeared on the moonlit night road.
Ji Ran looked up and found that they did not go straight back to the courtyard gate as usual, but were still some distance away from home.
"Hmm?" She looked up at Qi Mu with some confusion.
The man simply held her tightly in his arms.
"What's wrong?" she asked, puzzled.
Qi Mu opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he just shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
The pressure on his hands didn't lessen at all, as if he was terrified of losing her.
Ji Ran naturally didn't believe his words "it's nothing," and she swayed her body.
"You tell me!"
Qi Mu raised his hand and stroked the back of her head, as if he were gently stroking her hair.
"Could you... not be angry?"
Ji Ran looked puzzled, not expecting that after all that effort, he would come up with such a nonsensical sentence.
"Why are you angry?"
Qi Mu made a gesture of sighing.
He was intimately familiar with every emotional state she exuded.
Naturally, one would know what kind of emotional fluctuations she would experience in certain situations or upon hearing someone's name.
She's been feeling down lately because of what she's heard about that person, and he's done nothing to put her mind at ease.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Ji Ran broke free from his embrace, crossed her arms, and stared at him.
"Confess! Have you done something bad behind my back?"
Qi Mu gave a helpless smile. "No."
"Then why did you tell me not to be angry?" Ji Ran pressed.
Qi Mu reached out and took both of her hands in his palms again. Looking into her dark pupils, a resolute tenderness shone in his crimson eyes.
"Ranran, my heart is very small. After it has contained you, it can no longer contain anything else in the world."
Ji Ran's heart skipped a beat; no matter what, hearing his sudden confession still made her heart flutter.
She forced a smile, "What kind of cunning do you have?"
Upon hearing this, the man couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Hmm~ No."
Ji Ran was immersed in his exclusive pampering and couldn't help but step forward again to bury herself in his arms and rub against his chest.
Why are you suddenly telling me this?
"Because you're unhappy," Qi Mu said sullenly.
"Why am I unhappy?" Ji Ran denied. She hadn't encountered anything unhappy lately, except that she would feel inexplicably depressed for a while when she heard the name 'Yuan Yamei'.
Eh?
She jerked her head up again, staring at the man in disbelief.
"You can read minds?"
Wouldn't that mean he could hear me even if I cursed him in my heart?
Qi Mu shook his head helplessly, "No."
Ji Ran looked incredulous.
Qi Mu pinched her cheek.
"In short, please stop making yourself unhappy because of other people, okay?"
Suddenly, she thought of Yuan Yamei again, and Ji Ran felt depressed. She puffed out her chubby cheeks in annoyance.
Rather than saying she was jealous, it would be more accurate to say she simply disliked Yuan Yamei.
My few memories of this person are from Zeng Yichen's birthday party, where he was that pretentious and affected person.
Even if such a person is mentioned alongside Qi Mu's name, it would be an insult to her Qi Mu.
Even if someone did have some feelings for Qi Mu, if she were to bring her illegitimate daughter to Zeng Nian, who always regarded Qi Mu as a mortal enemy, just to satisfy her own selfish desires, then she wouldn't deserve to have any further involvement with Qi Mu.
Seeing her still sulking, Qi Mu felt worried and heartbroken. Suddenly, his eyes hardened.
"I'll go and kill her."
As he spoke, he instantly brought Ji Ran back to the yellow horn tree in the courtyard, then released her and prepared to leave.
"Hey!" Ji Ran finally realized what was happening and immediately grabbed his arm, her face full of disbelief.
Qi Mu gently touched her cheek.
"It's alright. While I'm still a ghost, I'll take care of a few more people who will make you unhappy. It won't be so convenient once I become a human."
Ji Ran almost laughed out loud when she heard him speak such lewd words in the gentlest tone.
Seeing that he was seriously about to leave again, she quickly grabbed his hand tightly and pulled him back, saying in a harsh tone,
"Going home~"
As she spoke, she pulled him toward the house, but she couldn't move him even after taking a single step.
She turned around and saw that he was still standing there, not having given up on the idea.
A man who is usually calm and collected suddenly goes mad and insists on killing someone. Who can you reason with?
Ji Ran finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Seeing her smile, Qi Mu's tense body relaxed a little, but he didn't dare to relax completely.
"You really won't let me kill?"
Ji Ran rubbed his forehead. This guy was talking about it like killing chickens, ducks, or rabbits.
She lowered her hand from her forehead and looked firmly into those red eyes.
"No, her blood is too dirty; it will dirty your hands."
The man felt a stirring in his heart.
"Then... please stop overthinking, okay?"
Ji Ran pouted, "Of course I wasn't thinking anything."
Qi Mu looked incredulous.
Ji Ran breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and took his arm, and walked together towards the house, explaining as she did so:
"I really wasn't overthinking it, I just... hate it when people associate you with that kind of person."
Qi Mu was somewhat moved. He looked down at his girl; she was speaking out for him...
“They must all be blind,” Ji Ran continued indignantly. “How could you possibly be interested in such despicable people, right?”
Qi Mu chuckled at her words, "Hmm~ I don't think so."
Ji Ran suddenly stopped and moved in front of Qi Mu once again.
Qi Mu looked at her with curiosity.
"Qi Mu, I believe you." Ji Ran looked into his eyes sincerely. "I will always believe you."
Qi Mu was stunned. Hearing her say those four words to him with certainty, the emptiness in his chest seemed to start throbbing again.
The next second, the girl tiptoed up and playfully pecked him on the lips like a little bird.
"stamp."
The man couldn't help but pull her into his arms again, as if she were a precious treasure, and he held her with all his might.

The next day.
The first rays of morning sunlight slipped into the room through the gap in the curtains.
Jiang Manxi slowly woke up.
I fell asleep with my phone in my hand last night, perhaps subconsciously afraid of missing any information, so when I woke up, my phone was still in my hand.
She sent Zeng Yichen a message from Mo Yilan's house, a simple "Are you okay?"
But he never replied.
Thinking about it, she quickly picked up her phone to check again, but just as she was about to be disappointed, the message notification sound suddenly rang.
She immediately perked up and clicked to view.
As expected, it was sent by Zeng Yichen, and she clicked on it with some excitement.
The other party's reply was very simple.
I'm fine, thank you for your concern.
