Mu Ru did not know for how long the car had been driving because after her head was covered in a black cloth bag, she was made to smell something strange, and it immediately put her to sleep.
2When she opened her heavy eyelids again, she quickly scanned her surroundings. She was in an unfamiliar place. It was a place she had never been to before. It was not familiar to her at all, and nothing there reminded her of anything that could help her guess where she was.
2For all her nineteen years, Mu Ru had only stayed in four rooms. The first room she had ever known was Mother Wang's room, where she had stayed for more than eighteen years.
2She also had a bedroom on the third floor of the Xi family home. She had stayed there for only three months, and that was when Xi Yuancheng asked her to move in after he found out that she had topped the college entrance examination.
2The third room was her new room with Dongfang Mo. It was her room on the second floor of the Dongfang family home.
2The fourth room was also in the Dongfang family home, but it was different from all the other rooms. It was the confinement room, where she had spent many nights in isolation.
2She was in a room that was neither big nor small. She assumed it was a bedroom because she was lying on the bed, and she saw a dressing table as well.
2She panicked and felt that something was wrong. Just as she was about to get up, someone had opened the door, and a young man in a suit and tie walked in.
2At a glance, she knew who it was. It was none other than Nangong Xun, who had been to the Dongfang family home twenty days prior to ask Dongfang Mo for her hand in marriage.
2'Nangong Xun? Why is he here? Where is this place? Is this Nangong Xun's home?' Mu Ru thought.
2Mu Ru was shocked and hurriedly got up from the bed. However, because she had moved a little fast and there was a tatami in front of the bed, she lost her footing and almost fell to the ground.
2"Be careful." Nangong Xun quickly helped Mu Ru, who was leaning forward. Then, he smiled and helped her sit down on the sofa.
2Mu Ru didn't dare to sit down. She stood up and looked at Nangong Xun. Nervously, she asked, "Mr. Nangong, did you bring me here?"
2Actually, she wanted to ask him if he was the one who had her kidnapped. However, she didn't want to sound so harsh.
2"I'm the one who kidnapped you," Nangong Xun answered truthfully. When he saw Mu Ru's nervous expression, he smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. Besides, weren't we engaged before? You were supposed to be my wife, so it's not surprising that you're here at my place."
2"But I'm already married to Dongfang Mo," Xi Muru said. She continued, "Mr. Nangong, I know that it was indeed wrong for the Xi family to break off our engagement without informing you, but hasn't this been settled already? My father already gave you two hundred million. What else do you want—"
2"I didn't ask for two hundred million," Nangong Xun quickly said to Mu Ru. He continued, "Mu Ru, do you think I'm short of two hundred million? Do you think that I, Nangong Xun, will sell my fiancee for two hundred million?"

Listening to Nangong Xun, Mu Ru became more anxious. She stared at Nangong Xun for a long time. She then asked, "Then...What do you want?"
2"Of course...I want you," Nangong Xun answered with a firm tone. Looking at her expression, he chuckled and said, "Mu Ru, don't be so nervous. I'm not Dongfang Mo. You shouldn't be terrified of me."
2Mu Ru glanced at him. Nangong Xun looked like a talented person. Mu Ru could acknowledge that he was a hundred times more handsome than Dongfang Mo.
2However, for some reason, she no longer felt afraid of Dongfang Mo. Instead, she felt afraid of Nangong Xun, but she couldn't really explain why. She had a feeling that Nangong Xun was not as simple as he looked.
2"Mr. Nangong, Dongfang Mo and I are already married. That cannot be changed," Mu Ru said as she moved behind the sofa. She continued, "You can't have me anymore. Please accept the two hundred million. The Xi family has let you down, and I have let you down. I apologize to you. Please forgive me!"
2Mu Ru stood up and bowed low to Nangong Xun. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
2"All right, Mu Ru." Nangong Xun quickly reached out to help her up. Then, he smiled and said, "Why are you apologizing to me? It's not your fault that you married Dongfang Mo. You weren't the one who wanted to marry Dongfang Mo back then. It was your father and sister who forced you to marry Dongfang Mo. None of this is your fault. It's your father's doing, and Xi Muxue is also to be blamed for it."
2Mu Ru was stunned when she realized that Nangong Xun understood the whole situation well. She quickly explained, "Yes, I didn't ask to go in the beginning, but later, when you came to see Dongfang Mo to ask for me, I didn't choose to go with you. In short, it was also my fault, so—"
2Nangong Xun smiled and interrupted her. "That wasn't your fault either. Mu Ru, back then, you were very tense because Dongfang Mo was there. You were scared out of your wits. I was unable to take you away from a tyrannical man like Dongfang Mo. I don't blame you if you didn't choose to leave with me. Even if you had chosen to leave with me, Dongfang Mo would not have let you. He would have tortured you for it. Therefore, I don't blame you at all. You made those decisions because you had no choice. You didn't do it of your own free will."
2Mu Ru became even more anxious. She hurriedly tried to give an explanation. "It's not like that. Actually—"
2"All right, Mu Ru. Stop talking," Nangong Xun said. He clearly didn't want to hear her explanation. He waved his hand and said, "Your marriage with Dongfang Mo is not legal. You know this very well because there is no marriage certificate to prove its validity. Moreover, everyone knows that Dongfang Mo is a eunuch. You are still a virtuous woman. Therefore, I have decided to marry you tonight. I will bring you to Singapore tomorrow. Girls in Singapore can register for marriage after they turn eighteen. We will go to the marriage registration office tomorrow morning and secure our marriage certificate. Then, we will be a legal couple. Dongfang Mo will not be able to take you back."
