Chapter 119: I'm Begging You

Page (1/3)

Mo Niannian opened her eyes to find Jiang Hu staring at her darkly.

“Stop playing this kind of trick.”

Mo Niannian slowly typed out a question mark.

What had happened this time? Had she died the moment she arrived in this little world?

And why was Jiang Hu looking at her as though she were the murderer of his parents?

Jiang Hu’s voice was frighteningly cold. “If you’ve had enough of this peaceful life, I can send you to meet your parents at any time.”

With that, Jiang Hu strode away, leaving Mo Niannian standing there in bewilderment.

Mo Niannian rubbed her forehead. “System, what’s going on?”

The system hurriedly transmitted the main plot to her.

Mo Niannian opened it and skimmed through a few lines.

Then she was deeply shocked by the contents of the script.

What on earth was this?

The domineering CEO’s caged songbird?

In this world, Jiang Hu had become the ruthless, domineering CEO who could destroy his enemies without shedding a drop of blood, while she had become the songbird he kept captive?

The reason these two had ended up together was painfully clichéd: a marriage alliance between their families.

Jiang Hu, who was devoid of emotion and devoted entirely to his career, had married Mo Niannian in order to obtain the support of her family.

Jiang Hu was truly ruthless. On the very day he married Mo Niannian, he swallowed up the Mo family and produced evidence of her parents’ crimes, sending them straight to the police station.

He had locked Mo Niannian up here, and she had not even seen his face.

Mo Niannian, who had originally arrived with all the delicate hopes of a young woman in love, had been terrified by this sudden turn of events.

She spent her days here washing her face with tears, threatening Jiang Hu with suicide until he came to see her once.

That was the scene Mo Niannian had encountered upon arriving.

The first time she had entered this world, the timing had been wrong. She had arrived at the exact moment the original Mo Niannian, unable to endure this life any longer, had taken her own life.

Afterward, she and the system had paid the price of a demotion to re-enter the small world.

Mo Niannian remained stunned for a long while.

Good grief. In this world, she had become Jiang Hu’s caged songbird?

And not even a well-loved one—the sort who might not see him twice in an entire year?

Mo Niannian was… somewhat delighted.

Jiang Hu had been far too clingy. Now that her relationship with him had plummeted to freezing point in this new world, the thought of it was actually rather refreshing.

Mo Niannian cheerfully wandered around the villa. Everything was fine; the basic living conditions were all there.

She could happily play the idle freeloader again.

“Madam.” The butler looked at Mo Niannian anxiously, worried that she might do something rash.

The young master had really gone too far with his words.

Then again, that was simply how the young master was. Ah.

He looked at Mo Niannian with concern. “Madam, the young master didn’t mean it.”

Mo Niannian: “…”

Sure enough, every domineering CEO had a devoted butler behind him.

Mo Niannian searched her memories for information about the butler, then smiled sweetly. “Uncle Zhao, I’m fine. I’m just going up to the roof for a while.”

The villa had a panoramic glass skylight! She absolutely had to go and see it.

The butler’s expression changed instantly. “You mustn’t, Madam!”

Mo Niannian had no idea what he was imagining. She stared at him in puzzlement.

The butler was so frantic he was practically on the verge of kneeling down and clinging to her legs. “Madam, you really mustn’t! The young master may have gone a little too far, but you truly don’t need to throw your life away over it.”

Mo Niannian: “…Uncle Zhao, I really am only going up to look at the roof.”

The butler had no idea how to persuade her. Afraid that stopping her would only worsen her mood, he could do nothing but follow close behind her.

Mo Niannian paid him no attention. Her spirits were quite good. She found some snacks, stretched out on a hanging chair, and gazed at the starry sky.

There was no denying it—the view was beautiful from up there.

Mo Niannian was in a wonderful mood.

She cracked sunflower seeds while admiring the scenery.

Seeing this, the butler grew even more worried. It was over. The madam had truly lost her mind.

Her mental state had been abnormal for some time.

After the young master had provoked her like that today, she had completely snapped.

The butler stayed beside Mo Niannian to prevent her from doing anything extreme, while calling Jiang Hu.

He told Jiang Hu about Mo Niannian’s condition.

Jiang Hu remained expressionless. “What stunt is she trying to pull this time?”

The butler’s face was filled with worry. “The madam’s mental state really hasn’t been right lately. Young master, perhaps you should come back and take a look.”

“I’m busy. From now on, you don’t need to tell me anything about her.”

With that, Jiang Hu hung up without expression.

The assistant spoke dutifully. “Boss, you may need Madam’s cooperation during this period.”

Jiang Hu raised his eyes and glanced at the assistant indifferently. Understanding the cue, the assistant continued, “Because of what happened recently, public opinion about you has been very unfavorable. They hope you can use this matter to restore some of your public image.”

Jiang Hu’s brows lifted slightly. “Do I need their approval?”

He looked down on everyone and regarded no one as worthy of his attention.

It was an utter indifference toward everything.

“Boss, that may be true, but it will be difficult to explain yourself to the old master.”

Jiang Hu’s eyes deepened. He turned the pen in his hand and lowered his gaze. “Understood.”

“And Madam?”

A trace of disgust flashed through Jiang Hu’s eyes. “Make the arrangements.”

“Yes. I’ll do it right away.”

He hoped that woman would behave herself. Otherwise, he would not let her off.

With Jiang Hu, that clingy nuisance, no longer at her side, Mo Niannian felt as though even the air had turned sweet.

Every day, she watched television, basked in the sun, ate snacks, and slept.

It was exactly the life she had dreamed of.

The butler grew increasingly worried about her. The look he gave Mo Niannian became extraordinarily strange.

Mo Niannian ignored him and continued eating and drinking as usual.

Unable to hold back any longer, the butler reported her condition to Jiang Hu once again.

As it happened, the old master’s birthday banquet was approaching, and both Jiang Hu and Mo Niannian would have to attend.

Jiang Hu was silent for a while before going to see Mo Niannian.

Mo Niannian was sprawled on the sofa without a shred of decorum, laughing so hard that her entire body shook.

Jiang Hu walked in. Mo Niannian caught sight of him from the corner of her eye, but the show had just reached its most exciting part, and she had no time to bother with him.

So Jiang Hu stood there expressionlessly and watched Mo Niannian laugh for a full five minutes.

His gaze darkened, and the look he gave her grew distinctly unfriendly.

The program ended and the commercials began. Only then did Mo Niannian stop laughing and glance at Jiang Hu. “You’re here.”

“Come out with me tonight.”

The male lead had developed quite an attitude. His tone was completely commanding, and Mo Niannian was very tempted to refuse him outright.

But missions were missions, and they still had to be completed.

What else could Mo Niannian do? She could only obediently make a small sound of acknowledgment.

Jiang Hu shifted his gaze from Mo Niannian to the surroundings.

Her snacks were scattered all over the table, and the cushions on the sofa were arranged in complete disarray. Jiang Hu’s brows drew into a deep frown.

This woman…

The darkness in Jiang Hu’s eyes deepened. His disdainful gaze swept over Mo Niannian.

Mo Niannian did not notice his displeasure in the slightest. Still grinning brightly, she casually handed him a packet of dried fruit. “Want some?”
