Xiao Chen nodded his head, but didn't get off Mu Yuting's horse. Instead, he tightened his grip on her waist.

"Thank you, Prince, for saving me in time. If it weren't for your courage, I'm afraid that I would have lost my life." Mu Chang Qing dismounted from his horse, clasped his hands, and bowed to Xiao Chen.

"It's nothing, it's just a small matter."

Mu Qiuting only felt that the hand on her waist was exceptionally hot, causing her to feel extremely uncomfortable. She quickly dismounted and jumped out of Xiao Chen's grasp.

"Brother, if it wasn't for you coming and knocking me, why would I be riding on my horse and almost fall off it?" Mu Qianyu coquettishly grabbed onto Mu Chang Qing's sleeve, then stepped backwards, separating Mu Chang Qing from Xiao Chen.

"Yes yes yes, it was all my fault just now. But luckily little sister, you're fine. " Mu Changqing glanced at Mu Qianzheng's body a few times. Seeing that she was fine, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Mu Yu Ting glanced at Xiao Chen and the image of his bloodthirsty appearance from the night before appeared in her mind. She felt a chill in her heart and decided to stay as far away from him as possible.

Just as Mu Baiting was about to pull Mu Zhangqing away, a faint voice came from behind. "Miss Mu seems to be hiding like this, like this king knows how to eat humans and wild beasts. May I know the reason why?"

Mu Yu Ting's steps immediately retracted when she heard Xiao Chan's words: "Oh?" What does Your Highness mean by this? "

"This lady is clearly an extremely intelligent person, how could I not understand what you mean?" Xiao Chan's voice rose in volume as he pulled out a fan from somewhere.

"I was only anxious to leave this place because I was frightened to go and remain in peace. How did my words become fear in your mouth?" No matter how scared Mu Yu Ting was, she would never admit this fact.

In front of Xiao Cheng, she was always in a disadvantageous position for no reason. She was always in a passive position. She did not want to be oppressed by him any longer.

"This King also saved Miss's life. Not only did Miss not say a word of thanks, but she was even anxious to increase the distance between us. Isn't this afraid?" Xiao Hong also somersaulted from her horse and jumped down sorrowfully. She looked at Mu Yu Ting with a smile that was not a smile.

"Your Highness, your younger sister just received a fright. It's very normal for her to forget her manners for a moment, so I hope Your Highness doesn't mind." Mu Chang Qing held onto Mu Yu Ting's hand and squeezed her palm, asking her to thank him.

There was no way Mu Yuting would be willing to do that. From the bottom of her heart, she was truly unwilling to thank this person who had almost sucked her dry. His benevolent deed today was to force himself to death in order to remedy the situation where he had almost killed her the previous two times.

"Chao Ting!" When Mu Chang Qing saw Mu Yu Ting pretending not to see his expression, his expression became slightly softer, and he pushed her in front of Xiao Chen.

The moment Mu Yuting got close to Xiao Chen, goosebumps rose up all over her body, making her subconsciously want to escape from Xiao Chen's side.

However, due to the pressure that Mu Zhangqing had placed on her, Mu Qiushan had no choice but to bite the bullet. Words of thanks practically came out of her mouth, "This time … I thank you, your highness. "

"Oh? Miss Mu feels as though she was saying something. It seems that this king is somewhat deaf and is unable to clearly hear what Miss Mu is saying. " Xiao Zhen pretended to look innocent, but the smile in his eyes betrayed his heart.

Mu Yu Ting clenched her hand into a fist and tried to suppress the urge to curse in her heart. This Xiao Xian must have done it on purpose!

But helplessly, with Mu Zhangqing's oppressing gaze and the unease in his heart, Mu Yuting forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and waited for Xiao Chen's eyes to fall upon her. Every word she spoke seemed to have been smashed out of her mouth.

"Thank you for your help. If I have the chance, I will repay you with everything I have!"

As Mu Changqing looked at Mu Qiuting's actions, the astonishment in his heart intensified. He had never seen Mu Qiuting act this way.

She didn't know how Third Marquis had ended up in this mess. Could it be because of the incident at the birthday banquet where he broke out into rage?

After Mu Yu Ting said her thanks, she pulled Mu Chang Qing and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Xian, "Wait a moment, both of you."

"I wonder if there is anything else, Your Highness?"

The smile on the corner of her mouth became even wider, and her mood seemed to have gotten a lot better all of a sudden. "Miss Mu, there's no need to be so cautious, I just want to treat you guys to a meal, it's not like I'm going to take your life."

As she spoke, it was unknown if Xiao Cheng intentionally pursed his lips, which made Mu Qiantang's heart skip a beat. Every single pore on her body was filled with resistance.

If she didn't have anything to do, the engine would turn into a thief. Xiao Chen's goal was definitely not simple, it was better for her to leave him as soon as possible.

"Your Highness, thank you for your good intentions, but …"

"Since Your Highness has invited us as well, then we'll respectfully accept your offer." Mu Zhangqing interrupted Mu Yuting with a faint smile on his face, appearing extremely courteous and well-groomed.

Mu Yu Ting glanced at Mu Chang Qing with a puzzled expression. She felt it was strange that she had actually accepted this invitation. Although Mu Changqing would usually tease her, he was still very obedient towards her. Why did he agree to have dinner with Xiao Chen this time?

There didn't seem to be any special relationship between Mu Changqing and Xiao Xian. They had only met by chance and didn't have any reason to accept this invitation.

However, since Mu Changqing had already spoken, Mu Yuting naturally could not refute him. She could only follow behind him as they headed towards the largest restaurant in the city.

Feeling Xiao Chen's presence, Mu Baiting's mood of going out to play lessened by a bit. Her mind was filled with doubts and wariness that prevented her from looking at the small vendors by the roadside.

Mu Yuting picked up an opportunity and pulled on Mu Chang Qing's sleeves. After maintaining a distance from Xiao Chen to ensure that he couldn't hear clearly, she softly asked, "Big brother, why did you agree to Xiao … Third Marquis' invitation? "

She really couldn't understand why this was happening.

"Your Highness is your savior after all. We naturally must comply with his request. Furthermore, he is the Third Marquis of the current dynasty. It is only logical for him to act in such a manner, so we have no reason to reject him. "

Mu Changqing also took this opportunity, planning to play a good role in building up her relationship with Xiao Chen, "Yutang, you're not allowed to lie to me. Obediently tell me what happened between you and the Prince, and I can't believe you're so disgusted with her."

There were only a few people in this world who could make Mu Qiushan feel such deep disgust.

Mu Yu Ting snorted and said coldly: "How could I interact with someone with such low moral standing?"
