=====
Wasn't it supposed to be that Zhang Mu was going to be killed or crippled?
But what was going on here?
This underworld queen, Shangguan Fengwu, asked Zhang Mu to stay and apologized to him personally. At the same time, she wanted to give Zhang Mu the things he wanted for free as a token of apology!
Thinking about how ruthless and terrifying this underworld queen usually was and then seeing Shangguan Fengwu, who was smiling at Zhang Mu like a flower, everyone felt like their brains had turned into mush.
At this moment, Zhang Mu was also a bit dumbfounded.
What was going on?!
He was prepared to be humiliated by Ye Feng at the auction, but those two classic humiliating scenes haven't happened yet. Then he heard that Shangguan Fengwu had something to say to him.
Zhang Mu originally thought he understood. Perhaps the plot had changed. Shangguan Fengwu might be teaming up with Ye Feng to humiliate him directly after the auction.
So, Zhang Mu expected a big moment would come and was already prepared to face the wrath of this underworld queen.
However, this underworld queen, who usually looks fierce, came over to apologize. And she even directly gave him the things that were supposed to be auctioned?!
‘Are you crazy?!’ Zhang Mu cursed inwardly.
On the other hand, seeing Zhang Mu, who appeared to be arrogant and fierce but with a hint of confusion in his eyes, Shangguan Fengwu's lips curled slightly, and she felt quite happy inside.
In fact, Shangguan Fengwu had planned this long ago.
The reborn Shangguan Fengwu was very clear about this.
The painting that was supposed to be auctioned would have humiliated Zhang Mu. So, to avoid these things from happening, Shangguan Fengwu had long been prepared and decided not to auction the painting.
As for the effect of the Jade Pendant, she didn't know before, but she remembered it was valuable.
In her previous life, that pendant was picked up by that jerk Ye Feng.
But since she was reborn, she naturally wouldn't let such a thing happen again in this life.
The most valuable item naturally should be given to her most beloved person.
So, Shangguan Fengwu changed the auction items on the spot and directly gave both items to Zhang Mu.
Although the people present didn't understand Shangguan Fengwu's thoughts, just the act of her giving things to Zhang Mu was enough to shock them immensely.
After all, although it was normal to give presents as an apology, the key was, whether it was someone else's fault or her fault, Shangguan Fengwu never apologized in the end!
Meanwhile, seeing that jade pendant, Ye Feng, among the crowd, clenched his fists.
He was very unhappy.
He must have this jade pendant today, but now it was about to fall into Zhang Mu's hands.
How could he accept it?
Amid the stunned everyone’s gazes, the flawlessly beautiful underworld queen, Shangguan Fengwu, gracefully walked to Zhang Mu's side.
A fragrant scent filled the air.
She raised her slender jade arm as if she really wanted to hand something over to him.
In order to maintain the image of the arrogant villain, Zhang Mu could only hang on to his arrogant smile and reach out to accept it.
And when she was handing over the jade pendant, there was also some slight physical contact between them.
Zhang Mu could clearly feel the smoothness and delicate Shangguan Fengwu's jade-like fingers.
Despite Shangguan Fengwu's terrifying appearance as the heroine, she also had smooth and flawless skin.
With a stunningly beautiful face and a hot figure, Shangguan Fengwu was also one of the four beauties of the capital alongside Su Muwan.
Her appearance wasn’t inferior to Su Muwan's, and her figure was even more stunning.
However, due to Shangguan Fengwu's intimidating demeanor, no one dared to think about her.
During the contact, Shangguan Fengwu seemed to sense something. The cold and beautiful face, which should have been charming and coquettish, suddenly showed a hint of redness for a moment.
Noticing this, Zhang Mu was surprised.
‘What the hell are you blushing for?!’
‘Aren't you the underworld queen?!’
Zhang Mu cursed inwardly.
This apology and blushing completely contradicted the ruthless image of Shangguan Fengwu, the underworld queen!
Zhang Mu could only hope that Shangguan Fengwu had another motive. And facing this situation, Zhang Mu's expression could only remain that devilishly charming appearance, as if he had expected it all along.
In the eyes of everyone, Zhang Mu appeared confident and in control, making everyone think that this spoiled playboy really knew how to pretend. His best friend, Cheng Haonan, was already admiring Zhang Mu to the fullest, wishing he could kneel down and proclaim Zhang's greatness.
Even Yuxuanwei, who was on guard, breathed a sigh of relief.
But who knew that Zhang Mu was actually dumbfounded?
Zhang Mu originally wanted to finish today's auction plot smoothly. But today's auction plot completely exceeded his imagination!
Moreover, Shangguan Fengwu, Yuxuanwei, and other heroines weren’t following the plot at all.
Were they trying to kill him?!
He was completely clueless.
But to maintain his villainous image, Zhang Mu couldn't show it.
He had to hold on.
While maintaining the standard villainous smile on his face, Zhang Mu laughed triumphantly, "Well, you, Shangguan Fengwu, know what's good for you. I finally got the painting. Wan'er will be very happy!"
Just as Zhang Mu said this, Shangguan Fengwu's eyes suddenly turned cold.
The charming eyes that should have been full of charm suddenly became cold and menacing.
Su Muwan!
It was this stinking woman again!
This woman wasn't worthy of Zhang Mu at all!
In previous life, this little angel, Zhang Mu, had admired this woman all along.
Even in this life, Zhang Mu was still loyal to this woman.
Ah... if the woman Zhang Mu liked was her, how nice would that be? Unlike that ignorant b*tch Su Muwan, she would immediately agree to be with Zhang Mu and marry him.
Although it was still unknown what changes Su Muwan had undergone, Shangguan Fengwu, as the underworld queen, felt jealous of Su Muwan because of Zhang Mu.
But in this life, she, Shangguan Fengwu, still had a chance!
In this life, she decided to pursue Zhang Mu, hold him in her hands, and spoil him for a lifetime!
With these thoughts in mind, a smile appeared on Shangguan Fengwu's usually cold and elegant face.
Smiling, she said to Zhang Mu, "Zhang Mu, add me on WeChat."
