Bab 849: Chapter 849: The Kept Mistress

But the slap stopped in midair.

Xu Chaomu opened his eyes and looked over, it turned out to be Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo had grabbed Gu Xiuting's wrist, holding it tightly, preventing him from moving.

Xu Chaomu sent a grateful glance Xiao Mo's way, her lips curving into a smile.

"Xiuting, it's a misunderstanding. The tea was spilled by me accidentally, and it just happened to splash on me, it has nothing to do with Chaomu," Bai Man stepped forward.

Gu Xiuting wouldn't listen, speaking indifferently, "That woman just admitted it."

Bai Man shook her head, "No, you must have heard wrong. I'm not close with Chaomu; why would she splash tea on me? Xiuting, let go."

"Now it's not a matter of whether I let go or not," Gu Xiuting said, annoyed and embarrassed.

Xiao Mo, still holding his wrist, glanced at Gu Xiuting and warned, "She is someone you can't afford to provoke."

Gu Xiuting was aware that Xu Chaomu was Shen Chi's wife. He tugged at his wrist but didn't plan any further action.
