Chapter 18: Vying for Favor Depends on One's Own Worthiness

In the end, Mu Chenxi forcefully struggled for a moment, trying to break free from Fu Yanshen's grasp, but couldn't.

She hung her head low, softly dropping the words, "I'm going to the restroom for a bit."

"Take your time."

Fu Yanshen advised warmly, releasing her hand only after speaking.

Mu Chenxi had no intention to respond, striding forward, only wishing to flee this suffocating place.

To find a corner where she could be alone and calm down.

She was really too agitated.

Stepping into the restroom, she pushed open the door to the nursing room, walked in, and closed the door behind her.

"Click."

The lock fastened.

Mu Chenxi trembled as she walked over to the toilet and slowly sat down.

The last thread of her held emotions now relaxed, her body uncontrollably began to shake like a sieve.

Her hands clenched tightly into fists rested on her knees.

She shut her eyes, breathing deeply, without stopping.

She wanted to calm herself down.

Only with calmness could she think.
