=====
This bastard Ye Feng didn't really come and snatch it.
Zhang Mu was so upset.
You, a dignified protagonist, didn't even dare to snatch something from the villain.
This was ridiculous!
Little did he know, Ye Feng was still lying on some unknown street at this moment.
Zhang Mu was enraged at Ye Feng's incompetence, so he threw the Jade Pendant directly from his hand.
"Here, take it."
Yu Xuanwei hurriedly reached out her hands to catch it.
As soon as the pendant was in her hand, a surge of heat flowed into her body, making her exceptionally clear-headed.
After being reborn, Yu Xuanwei naturally knew the value of this treasure.
Seeing that Zhang Mu casually handed over such a precious item, Yu Xuanwei's cold and ruthless demeanor instantly softened.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and her heart trembled violently.
He was still so kind-hearted.
Handing over such a precious treasure to her so casually meant that he really trusted and valued her.
Yu Xuanwei tried to hold back the tears that were about to burst out and said to Zhang Mu, "Th... Thank you, Zhang Sha... Zhang Young Master, but this jade pendant is so precious, I... I can't accept it!"
As she spoke, Yu Xuanwei tried to return the jade pendant to Zhang Mu. If it were in her past life, Yu Xuanwei would definitely have accepted it with joy because this Jade Pendant was a treasure for any cultivator. Otherwise, why would Ye Feng be so eager to obtain it?
And if she possessed the Jade Pendant, Yu Xuanwei believed she would definitely become much stronger.
She might even surpass Ye Feng and claim the top spot in the Dragon Country Assassin Rankings.
However, in this life, she no longer cared about these things.
What she cared about was only the man in front of her, her little angel Zhang Mu!
So, despite her instinct to keep the jade pendant, Yu Xuanwei, deeply moved, tried to return it to Zhang Mu.
However, Zhang Mu, still angry at Ye Feng's incompetence, didn't even turn his head.
He impatiently stuffed the pendant back, regardless of whether Yu Xuanwei wanted it or not, and unknowingly dropped it onto her chest.
"I let you keep it, so you keep it!"
"It's just a broken jade pendant!"
"And remember your identity!"
"If you dare to defy me again, you know what will happen!" Zhang Mu said coldly.
Facing this ruthless female assassin heroine, Zhang Mu naturally had to play the role of a vicious villain.
He didn't want to be close to this female assassin heroine.
He had to be somewhat more ruthless and rough with her so that she could properly scheme against him and he could follow the plot properly. Several heroines had gone insane, and Zhang Mu was already feeling a sense of panic.
On the other hand, faced with Zhang Mu's domineering and ruthless attitude, Yu Xuanwei was even more moved.
With a trembling voice, she replied, "Yes, Young Master!"
She held on to the Jade Pendant with delicate hands as tears streamed down her face.
Young Master Zhang Mu is really... too good!
Just like in her previous life, he appeared rude and indifferent on the surface, but in fact, he was considerate in every way.
It was obvious that he wanted to give her this precious pendant, but he still pretended to be indifferent and impatient just to give it to her.
He even called such a precious jade pendant a broken one, which was a hint.
Compared to her, even such a precious Jade Pendant was just a broken one.
Yu Xuanwei felt her heart melting. Zhang Mu's irritable and ruthless tone, in Yu Xuanwei's ears, seemed extremely gentle, like celestial music.
Seeing that Yu Xuanwei finally didn't dare speak and obediently accepted it, Zhang Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
'It's finally going smoothly.'
'Hehe. '
'Yu Xuanwei, pretending to be a maid but really being a top assassin, must be furious.'
'She probably wants to kill me, right?'
Plus, Yu Xuanwei got the pendant. This female assassin heroine was on the same side as the protagonist Ye Feng, so this pendant would eventually fall into Ye Feng's hands, right?
That's good.
The plot would eventually return to the right track.
Zhang Mu felt he was really clever.
One stone, two birds. Wasn't that smart?
But what Zhang Mu didn't know was that at this moment, Yu Xuanwei had already carefully hidden the pendant, considering it a precious gift from Zhang Mu. She treated it like a token of affection.
At this moment, Yu Xuanwei was deeply moved by Zhang Mu's kindness and trust.
She vowed in her heart that she would protect the Jade Pendant well in this life and would never let Ye Feng lay a finger on it again!
...
Back at the Zhang family's mansion.
Zhang Mu breathed a sigh of relief as he lay in his soft bed.
Thinking about the situation of today's auction in his mind, Zhang Mu walked downstairs.
However, as soon as he got down, he noticed several chefs in his house packing up and preparing to leave.
Zhang Mu furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Where are you all going?" The chefs hastily explained to Zhang Mu, "Young Master, it's the beautiful lady you brought back. She said she would cook and asked us to leave first."
Hearing the chefs' explanation, Zhang Mu was momentarily stunned. Then he waved his hand, letting the chefs leave first, and then headed towards the kitchen.
Zhang Mu then entered the kitchen. He was momentarily taken aback because he saw a graceful and alluring figure with a snowy white back facing him.
