Chapter 989: Ten Minutes?

the rose tea on a shelf near the wall and then went back to the kitchen, but Xiao Ya had vanished!“This is just so odd..." 。Tong Enxi carefully transferred the cooked dishes one by one into lunch bo..."It's snowing heavily outside. Are you really going to make a little girl go buy bread The nearest bakery to the hillside villa should be the one downstairs, but the snow is getting bigger and bigger. It's probably not safe to walk on this road in such heavy snow." Ling Shaono spoke up pleading for Miao Miao.

But no one expected that Ling Shaonuo's request would only bring Gu Junchen displeasure.

"Is that so Is the road hard to travel"

"Yes, the snow is coming down heavily. There will be snow soon, and it's not safe for her to go down the mountain alone to buy things..."

"If the road is hard to walk, then crawl." Gu Junchen's voice was as cold as before.

Miaomiao couldn't help but tremble, then quickly retaliated: "Don't worry, even if I crawl, I won't bow to you. Gu Junchen, you'll never!"

"Well... what are you still standing there for Hurry up and go!"

Miao Miao heard his contemptuous sneer, and then straightened her back and quickly walked out.

Until downstairs met smiling cleverly Auntie, “Miao Miao, where are you going”

"Auntie, could you lend me an umbrella"

"Are you going out" Auntie Qiao was surprised. "The snow outside is coming down heavily. It's only been about half an hour, and it's already starting to accumulate. Plus, it's very cold outside, and the sky is getting dark. Going out alone isn't safe, is it"

"It's okay, Auntie Qiao," Miao Miao said with a smile and shook her head.

“This… perhaps we should let the Young Master…”

"No, Auntie, he asked me to go to the R-E Bakery downstairs and buy him a cheese bread."

"Cheese bread" Auntie Qiao's face was clearly one of disbelief. "Did the young master really ask you to buy him cheese bread"

"Yes, what's wrong" she looked at Qiao Yi puzzled.

Auntie could only shake her head. “It’s nothing, it’s not a big deal.” Auntie looked at the wind and snow again. “Must you go”

"Hmm." She clutched the hundred yuan tightly in her hand, nodding firmly. She didn't want Gu Junchen to look down on her.

"Well, alright then." Auntie nodded and then took an umbrella from a cabinet on the side and handed it to Miao Miao.

"Thank you, Auntie Qiao." After taking the umbrella, Miao Miao couldn't help but tightly grasp the collar of her coat with one hand and walked out with the umbrella.

Snow... It's really coming down hard...

The wind at night felt like a knife against your face.

She walked alone on the mountain path, a lone figure. If it weren't for the streetlights lining the way, she would definitely be scared.

"Achoo..." She felt her nose was about to freeze, and she couldn't help but rub it with her hands. She trudged down the mountain with difficulty, "Not cold...not cold... just keep walking, you'll warm up. Just a few more steps, it will definitely get warmer."

By the time she reached the foot of the mountain, half an hour had passed. However, there was no sign of warmth on her body; she remained icy cold and shivered uncontrollably.

Upon entering R-E Bakery, Miao Miao ordered a cheese bread and then sat quietly waiting for it.

Looking out the window, the snow is falling heavier and heavier, showing no sign of letting up... At this rate, going up the mountain later might become very difficult because the roads will be slippery.

"Miss, your cheese bread is ready." The student worker immediately called out to her.

Perhaps it was because it was late, and the wind and snow were falling, but she was the only customer in the bakery.

Miaomiao nodded, paid the money, took the change and put it into her pocket, then thanked him.

One of the student workers seemed to recognize her. As she walked towards the door, whispers began behind her: "This woman… isn't she the famous actress Miao Miao"

"Yeah, I heard she was frozen out. This... has already started being reported. Several plays where the female lead role was originally hers have all been recast. And even those she's currently filming... have all been replaced with others. Many interviews and endorsements have also been canceled. The rumors are that she offended someone."

"This must have offended someone!"

"Shh, keep your voice down. Even if she offends people now, she's richer than us."

"How do you say this"

“You said, what kind of people live near this bakery Outside the hillside villas, there are only shops around... There are hardly any residents at all, and the shops here are all extremely high-end and luxurious. They obviously serve the people who live in the hillside villas.”

"Yes, what spas, health clubs, beauty salons, all that!"

"So, I guess she must have been taken care of by someone wealthy. Now she doesn't have to worry about food, clothing or shelter! Being a beauty is good, she's such a natural beauty, there's definitely some rich guy who likes her."

"That's right!"

Listening to the part-time workers' gossip, Miao Miao felt very uncomfortable in her heart, but even if she was uncomfortable, what could she do

She took a deep breath, clutching the bag of cheese bread tightly, and went back into the wind and snow under her umbrella...

Miao Miao didn't know how long she had been walking. She always felt footsteps behind her, but when she gathered her courage to turn back, she saw nothing.

She felt a strange mix of unease and fear, an inexplicable dread washing over her. She quickened her pace, heading towards the hillside villa.

Just as she was walking to a bend in the road, suddenly several men with multi-colored hair rushed out and blocked her path.

Miao Miao instinctively took two steps back, but behind her, a burly man blocked her escape route. Now she was trapped between two people, one in front and one behind.

"Well, hello there, you're quite the pretty little thing."

"This girl looks so familiar."

"A little girl from a rich district, I like her!" One man greedily looked at MiaoMiao, reached out to touch his chin, and then reached out to touch her chin.

Miao Miao immediately reached out and slapped the man's hand away, "What are you doing" She stared at the man in front of her. The current situation didn't allow her to have even a shred of fear.

"Baby, you're so pretty, why don't you play with us You'll definitely get some benefits!"

"Get away from me!" Miao Miao tried to run out from one side, but one of the men grabbed her hair roughly!

She gasped in pain.

"Baby, don't be so stubborn, play with us, and we'll let you go!"

"This woman looks so familiar!"

"Yeah, I feel like I've seen her somewhere before." The other man reached out and touched Miaomiao's cheek.

She fiercely kicked the man in front of her with her leg and, clutching a cheese bread, quickly ran uphill. However, the slippery snow made it difficult to walk, and she was soon caught up by several men behind her.

"What an impertinent woman!"

Several men swiftly bound Miao Miao, dragging her harshly onto the snow-covered ground.

Miao Miao gasped in pain, "Get away from me! Don't touch me!"

"That's really spicy! I like it!"

"Do you like it"

Just when Miao Miao was feeling hopeless and helpless, a male voice calmly came from one side.

"Dare you interfere" a man with wine-red hair sneered, raising his fist towards Ling Shaonuo.

Ling Shaono took it with one hand, and then with a backhand, made the man scream in pain...

"Ahhhh... let go, you bastard! Let go!"

"To be like this and still dare to call yourself 'Laozi'" Ling Shaonuo found it ridiculous, kicking the man away with one foot.

Miao Miao looked at Ling Shao Nuo who came to her rescue, she had to say, she was grateful to him at this moment, "Be careful on the right!" Looking at several men swarming towards Ling Shao Nuo, Miao Miao immediately reminded him aloud.

Ling Shaonuo swiftly kicked the man charging from his right with a leg.

Several men cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

"Wait for me!" He fled in a hurry, but before he left, he gave Ling Shaono a warning with an air of grandeur.

Ling Shaonuo walked gracefully toward Miao Miao and extended his hand, "Get up, the snow is cold."

"Thank you." With Ling Shaonuo's help, Miao Miao was pulled up.

"I told Junhen that it's unsafe for you to go out at night. If I hadn't followed you the whole way, you wouldn't be safe now"

“If they really succeeded, it would be all thanks to Gu Junchen!” Miao Miao stood up, patted the snow off her clothes, and looked at the cheese bread that was intact. She let out a sigh of relief, “Thank you today.” Miao Miao sincerely thanked Ling Shaonuo, “I thought encountering Gu Junchen was already bad enough, but I didn't expect something like this to happen today. Thankfully, you saved me. Thank you very much, Mr. Ling.”

"Do you think it's a bad thing to meet Jun Shen" Ling Shaonuo couldn't help but smile.

"Couldn't it get any worse" Perhaps because it was too cold, MiaoMiao shivered involuntarily, "Achoo..."

Seeing this, Ling Shaonuo quickly took off his black coat and draped it over Miao Miao's shoulders. "I'll send you back first. In case those thugs return, things could turn serious. Let's go."

"Thank you," Miao Miao said again, expressing her gratitude.

"I just don't understand, why would Junhe be angry at you... You're innocent after all." Ling Shaonuo sighed involuntarily, then walked towards the villa on the hillside with Miao Miao.

But halfway there, he saw the furious man driving, Gu Junchen frowned unpleasantly, "Ling Shaono, did I ask you to be a bodyguard"

"Cough cough, Jun He, Miao Miao was almost harassed by several men just now. You were too cruel to let such a beauty go out shopping in the dark."

"Do you need me to speak up" Gu Junchen was displeased, then turned the car around and drove towards the villa. Before leaving, he said, "Ling Shao Nuo, you get down the mountain now, Lei Miaomiao, I give you ten minutes to return to the villa."

Ten minutes

It would take at least fifteen minutes to walk from here to the villa. Miao Miao waved quickly to Ling Shaonuo and then almost ran with all her might toward the villa.

Ten minutes later, she ran back to the villa, panting. Qiao Yi looked at her drenched in sweat and said with concern, “Are you alright Have some water first.”

"Thank you, Auntie Qiao," Miao Miao said after taking a few sips of water. She looked at the man sitting arrogantly on the sofa, with a smug smirk playing on his lips.

"Aunt Qiao, please go down first." Gu Junchen ordered.

"Good." Auntie Qiao nodded and didn't say much. She took the glass and quickly left the main hall...."Zhao Sao, do you think this is alright" Ye Zining was very serious when she worked, and could be said to be meticulous. She had already weeded the flower bed here until it was clean!"Madam, you ar...
