Inner Emotions of Cloud Dance

"What? You like someone from our organization? Who? Could it be Fan Shiyu?"

Yun Wu couldn't believe it.

"I don’t know who it is either."

Xu Mu shook his head. "Forget it, I’ll just say it straight."

Yun Wu had now calmed down and listened attentively.

"I usually donate to some orphanages. I know quite a few directors, and they told me about a group called 'Moonlit Solitary Dance' that has made significant contributions."

Xu Mu looked at Yun Wu. "Later, I discovered that this group’s presence could be found in many orphanages."

Only then did Yun Wu finally understand.

She had explicitly instructed her people to donate anonymously, but somehow the news had leaked.

Still, she could empathize with the situation.

Those who do good deeds without seeking recognition are few and far between.

Most people prefer to let others know.

"I’m not sure if it was your organization that donated, nor do I know who specifically did it. But because the names match, I naturally have a favorable impression of you all."

Xu Mu met Yun Wu’s gaze. "I believe the person behind the donations must be a kind-hearted and beautiful sister—my goddess. I admire and respect her deeply."

This was the reason Xu Mu hadn’t killed Yun Wu. Though her role in the story wasn’t extensive,

every action of hers aligned perfectly with Xu Mu’s values.

For instance, she never harmed those who stood for justice.

The money Yun Wu earned, aside from covering the organization’s daily expenses and rare treasures, was almost entirely donated.

She herself was an orphan, with no knowledge of who her parents were, so she sympathized deeply with these children.

For this reason alone, Xu Mu had repeatedly held back.

[Affection +1]

Yun Wu’s pupils flickered. She never expected that Xu Mu’s repeated leniency toward her was because of this.

"You… also donate to welfare homes often?"

Yun Wu asked softly.

She had already guessed that the information about Xu Mu was inaccurate.

For example, the records described him as a good-for-nothing playboy.

How could someone "good-for-nothing" reach the Divine Ability Realm at such a young age?

Clearly, Xu Mu had been deliberately hiding his true self.

"Occasionally. They’re all unfortunate souls who deserve kindness."

Xu Mu wasn’t lying.

Back when he was working a regular job, earning a pitiful wage,

he still set aside twenty yuan every month after payday to donate—just to accumulate some good karma.

It wasn’t much, but it was the thought that counted.

Now that he had transmigrated into this world and become wealthy, he had stopped donating.

[Affection +5]

Yun Wu wiped her moist eyes with her sleeve. Thinking back, she realized she was the one in the wrong.

She had tried to kill Xu Mu, yet he hadn’t retaliated—merely inspecting her weapon was already lenient.

Not to mention, he had given her a chance.

If she had chosen to leave like Fan Shiyu, nothing would have happened.

In the end, it was all her own doing.

"Xu Mu, delete the video, and we’ll call it even."

Yun Wu took a deep breath and looked at him.

"You delete it yourself. That way, you won’t doubt me."

Xu Mu unlocked his phone and handed it to her.

Yun Wu nodded slightly. As she looked at the video, her face flushed.

Fortunately, the night’s darkness concealed it well.

"Could you investigate who secretly made those donations when you go back?"

Xu Mu asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Yun Wu stiffened imperceptibly. "Why… why do you want to find her?"

"She’s my dream goddess. I want to meet her."

Xu Mu lifted his head.

"What if… she isn’t pretty?"

"Her heart is beautiful—that’s enough." Xu Mu replied.

[Affection +10]

Yun Wu lowered her head slightly, unsure why she was feeling this way.

She despised men. The director of the orphanage had once told her that a woman had brought her there.

That woman had said her mother was from Dragon Country.

Yun Wu’s mixed heritage spoke for itself.

Undoubtedly, some foreign man had gotten her mother pregnant and then abandoned her.

Of course, this wasn’t the root of her deepest trauma.

Her greatest shadow came from witnessing an old man—who had come to adopt a daughter—molesting a girl in the orphanage.

That lecherous grin had haunted her for life.

Ever since, even shaking hands with a man made her physically uncomfortable.

But today… what was wrong with her?

She actually found this man in front of her… not disgusting at all.

Yun Wu returned the phone to Xu Mu. As he took it, his fingers accidentally brushed against the back of her hand.

A jolt of electricity seemed to run through her body.

Instead of discomfort, she felt an inexplicable warmth.

She was stunned. Had she eaten too much processed food? Was she hallucinating?

"How about we exchange contact info? If you find that person, let me know."

Seeing Yun Wu frozen, Xu Mu waved it off. "Never mind if you don’t want to."

"No, we can. I’ll help investigate."

Yun Wu didn’t even know why she agreed. Just moments ago, she had wanted to kill him.

After they added each other, Xu Mu took out Feng Kang’s phone, ready to mark the mission as complete.

"Wait, 'Hundred Ghosts Night Parade' has an audit system to prevent fake completions. It’s better to do this properly."

Yun Wu reminded him.

Xu Mu thought for a moment, then grinned. "Easy. Give me a minute."

He returned to the villa and came back shortly after.

Now, his neck bore a deep, realistic-looking gash, with red "blood" dripping from it.

As an artist, Xu Mu could easily pull off such an effect.

He lay down on the grass. "Take a photo and upload it."

Seeing this, Yun Wu felt even more indebted to him.

"I’ll leave first. Contact me if anything comes up."

After uploading the photo, Yun Wu turned and walked away—almost as if she were fleeing.

Xu Mu exhaled in relief. One problem solved.

Back in the villa, he cleaned up and headed to the living room.

"Brother-in-law, what exactly happened? Was it a crime of passion? What did you do to her?"

Ye Yu rushed over, eyes wide with curiosity.

"You know nothing!"

Xu Mu ruffled Ye Yu’s hair, turning it into a bird’s nest.

He sat on the sofa and motioned for Ye Tong to join him.

Ye Tong obediently took a seat beside him, while Ye Yu squeezed in on the other side.

Xu Mu gave them a rough summary of events—though naturally, he omitted certain details.

"So that’s how it is! The Feng Family is truly wicked!"

Ye Yu scowled.

"But you two were smart. Not struggling when tied up by an expert was the right move."

Xu Mu smiled at them. "If you’d revealed your martial arts skills, it wouldn’t have been as simple as just being bound."

"That was Ye Yu’s idea. We realized that woman was incredibly strong, so she told me not to resist and wait for an opportunity."

Ye Tong smiled, though she had been thinking the same thing.

"Ye Yu, clever girl."

Xu Mu tapped Ye Yu’s nose playfully.

"Of course!"

Ye Yu lifted her chin proudly, then suddenly sniffed the air. "Brother-in-law… why does the sofa smell a bit… strange?"

"What smell?"

Xu Mu tensed. Damn Feng Yue.

The way she had acted earlier—who could resist that?

"It’s like another woman’s scent… No, wait, it’s a stench!" Ye Yu said coldly.

"Could it be that killer just now? Did she sit here?"

Xu Mu asked in a deliberately calm tone.

"Yes, she did sit here just now," Ye Tong said from the side.

Ye Yu then nodded.

...

The matter about the Feng Family quickly spread throughout Jiangbei.

The emergence of such a scandal in one of the top groups in the region was like an earthquake in the business world.

In the Guo Family's residence in Jiangshi.

Guo Xiao was discussing their next move with her mother.

Actually, it was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that after the decline of the Feng Family, the Xu Family would surely step up to fill the void.

Since Guo Xiao had a good relationship with Xu Mu, she planned to go and discuss cooperation tomorrow.

The Guo Family also wanted a share of the market left by the Feng Family.

Just then, a man in a casual suit entered the living room of the villa.

This man was none other than Fang Chu, the son - in - law who lived under his wife's family's roof.

He walked up to the cabinet, casually opened a bottle of red wine, and poured himself a glass.

"Who allowed you to come in?"

Zhao Ju, Guo Xiao's mother, looked at him with a scowl.

"You blind old woman. How dare you talk to me like that?"

Fang Chu sat on the sofa with his glass in hand, crossing his legs and saying.
