Chapter 250-251

Chapter 250: All the Beautiful Scenery in the World Paled in Comparison to Her Smile ... “Get up, what are you doing?” Yun Xi reflexively pulled the quilt tightly around herself and moved to put as much distance as possible between them. When she pulled away from him like this, the parts of the quilt covering Mu Feichi’s body were pulled onto her. He had simply fallen asleep there in his clothes, without even taking off his shoes. He lay on his side, sleeping, in the same position he had lain down in. Seeing him lying there motionlessly with his eyes closed, Yun Xi stretched out her hand to shake his shoulder. “Hurry up and go back to your mansion.” Compared to her dilapidated little bed, his bed in his mansion had been custom-made with the best craftsmanship in the world. Why would he go out of his way to squeeze into this tiny bed with her? Moreover, he took up two-thirds of the bed, so how was she going to be able to sleep at all? More importantly, if he gets up and climbs over the wall tomorrow and encounters her grandpa, who gets up early, or someone from a neighbor’s house, she will suffer enormous consequences! The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she felt and the more anxious she became. He was obviously taking advantage of the fact that he was certain she wouldn’t dare cause a scene, so he adamantly refused to leave. As someone who was used to being in control of every situation, this feeling of being taken advantage of made her very annoyed. With her anger rising, she lifted her foot and kicked him twice. With his eyes closed, he grasped her ankle, Then he opened his eyes a little bit. “Little rascal, if you continue to cause trouble, it will be dawn soon. After 25 hours on the plane, I am extremely tired, and I don’t have the energy to climb out. Be good, and don’t cause trouble~ I will leave early tomorrow morning.” “Why didn’t you go home first if you are so tired?” He was simply bullying her. Yun Xi pulled her feet back. Then she looked down at the figure lying on his side with his arms crossed. She could see the fatigue on his face. She remembered that his return flight had really taken an entire day. Any normal person would be exhausted. Since she didn’t have the heart to send him away, she had no choice but to stand up, walk around the other side of the bed, and take off his shoes for him. Unbeknownst to her, he smiled. Twenty hours of flying had indeed been tiring, but it couldn’t compare with his overwhelming desire to see her. So, as soon as his business had been completed, he’d asked someone to book him an overnight flight. All the beautiful scenery in the world paled in comparison to her smile. His homesickness had driven him crazy and reckless, so much so that he had hardly recognized himself. It was cold that night, so Yun Xi took a quilt and put it over Mu Feichi. The bed was too small. There was only a small sofa in the room, and the floor was too cold to sleep on. She was worried about the cold temperature if she tried to sleep on it. She could only shrink to one side and stay in her own area. She didn’t dare to move. The sound of his steady breathing in her ears and his faint scent of mint and her fragrant scent of shower gel mixed together. She was sure that she was bound to suffer insomnia. Even in her previous life, she had never slept with Han Yaotian. She had always thought that Han Yaotian was an upright gentleman, which made her think that he was a man worthy of entrusting her life to. Her naivete had eventually led to her demise. Her so-called gentleman was simply a hypocrite and a true villain. In this life, the time when she would meet Han Yaotian would be when she had pushed him to the top of her scheme. She thought that it was going to happen earlier than she had originally planned. Once they met, she would have to cut all ties with him, the source of her love and hatred from her previous life. This night, she was thinking about so many things and so many people that she didn’t even notice when she fell asleep. Mu Feichi’s biological alarm clock was set earlier than Yun Xi’s, and when he woke up, the alarm clock on the bedside showed that it was only 5:20 a.m. He sat up. After a few hours of rest, he felt replenished in his strength and vigor. Turning his head, he looked down at the figure curled up on the edge of the bed. She looked as if she would roll onto the floor if he turned over. Her sleeping in such a safely guarded manner made him feel a bit disappointed. Under the dim light, he reached out to turn her toward him and tucked in the quilt. The little rascal appeared serene and lovely in his arms, in contrast to how stubborn and tough she usually appeared. In her sleep, she was like a princess. Small, delicate, and very endearing... ............... ..................... ................... Chapter 251: Won the Battle but Opened a Pandora’s Box ... In spite of her young age, she was like a lone wolf with enough courage and self-assurance to venture out into the world alone. 　 　 She seemed quiet and harmless, but she was also capable of ruthlessly scheming against others. 　 　 How could he not feel heartache for such a little rascal? 　 　 However, waiting for her to grow up and waiting for her to be ready to stand by his side would take time and training. 　 　 He was patient and enjoyed the process of waiting for his little flower to bloom. 　 　 Leaning over, he gazed intensely at the still-sleeping figure. Then he got up, put on his shoes, and climbed out of the window. 　 Outside the Yun family’s house, a black car was parked on the side of the road. Mu Feichi glanced at the license plate number, knocked on the car window, and opened the door to get in. 　 　 In the driver’s seat, Qi Yuan turned and looked at the man who had gotten in the back seat. “Young Marshal Mu, you don’t look like you’ve rested well. Do you want to go to the study camp or return to the Mu Mansion to rest?” 　 　 As soon as Qi Yuan had finished speaking, a woman’s teasing voice sounded from the passenger seat. 　 　 “With a gentle nymph in his arms all night, if Young Marshal Mu didn’t sleep well, that would be truly bizarre!” 　 　 In the middle of the night, instead of going home after getting off the plane, he had chosen to climb into this girl’s window. Was this immature punk still the same authoritative Young Marshal Mu she’d always known? 　 　 Li Zilan deeply doubted it. 　 　 People who fell into the trap of love were never sensible. 　 　 Mu Feichi ignored what Li Zilan had said and asked in a deep voice, “Why are you here?” 　 　 “Why else would I be here exhausting myself so early in the morning?” 　 　 Li Zilan snorted softly, then turned sideways and handed a file to him. 　 　 “Your little fox won the battle, but she also opened Pandora’s box.” 　 　 “What do you mean?” Mu Feichi’s eyes got dark. As he took the file, Qi Yuan turned on the car’s interior lights. 　 　 Li Zilan leaned against the car window comfortably. 　 　 She narrowed her eyes and said, “Han Wanling laid hands on your woman. You are now making her suffer because of it, and the Han family’s business is also suffering in Jingdu. The board of directors now plan to push out the illegitimate child, Han Yaotian. Han Yaotian is a complicated man. He has many questionable connections, so you know exactly what will eventually happen if this continues to go on.” 　 　 The worst consequence was that Jingdu’s balance of power dynamic would be broken, and the entire business world would fall into a new series of chaos and competition. 　 　 At the same time, the forces hiding in the dark would certainly seize the opportunity to cause mayhem. 　 　 In terms of conflicts between men, most of the time the methods used were extremely ruthless, and whoever was left standing at the end emerges as the victor. 　 　 Mu Feichi flipped through the information in the folder. More than half of this information was new to him and had not yet been put into his database. 　 　 Han Yaotian’s other networks were new information to him also, since Mu Feichi hadn’t expected him to have so many connections with the business world. 　 　 It seemed that this illegitimate child had secretly made much effort to seize control of the Han family. 　 　 “Furthermore, the eldest son of the Chen family seems to be deliberately supporting this b*stard. Once he gains control, the overall power dynamic will easily be toppled.” 　 　 Today, the Four Great Clans stood together and coexisted harmoniously due to a system of checks and balances. The social order of Jingdu was very important to all the prominent families. 　 　 Anarchy wouldn’t benefit any of them. 　 　 “Chen Yichen isn’t stupid, so he doesn’t want to raise a wolf that will bite him in the future. Rather than support him, he wants to control him.” 　 　 “Control him?” Li Zilan chuckled. “Han Yaotian has a lot of connections. Do you really think Chen Yichen can control him alone?” 　 　 “This illegitimate child shouldn’t be underestimated. Rather than letting him grow powerful in the dark, it’s better to put him in a bright place to make it more convenient to control and suppress him. What Chen Yichen can’t do, I can.” 　 　 Closing the file, Mu Feichi instructed Qi Yuan to drive. 　 　 “What are you going to do?” 　 　 Mu Feichi curled his lips into a sneer, and his dark eyes gleamed mysteriously. 　 　 His mellow and slightly mirthful voice sounded in the car, “Do you know who called the paparazzi to the police station this time?”
