Chapter 280: You Should Become a Fortune-teller
...
“Young Master Jiang, don’t overexert yourself entertaining all those women.”
“Oh, little girl, are you jealous?”
Yun Xi smiled. “You deserve an Oscar for your acting skills. You really should go on TV.”
“Why would I want to go on TV?” Jiang Chenghuan frowned. He only brooded for a moment, though, before his expression changed into a cynical smile.
“It’s true. I’m a suave young man, and there are so many women who throw themselves at me, so how can I refuse? You’re not a vain young man. You can’t understand me, sister.”
Yun Xi nodded solemnly. “You’re right. I don’t understand. However, a man who cynically wanders through the flowers in order to paralyze his opponent and who can not only leave untarnished but also emerge as a victor is a true master.”
With that said, Yun Xi patted Jiang Chenghuan on the shoulder and continued with a smile, “Words of wisdom! Just act as if I didn’t say anything!”
This man was one of the three masters of Jingdu, and Mu Feichi does not dislike him.
Who could possibly believe that he was simply a frivolous young master?
Jiang Chenghuan narrowed his eyes as he regarded her with a deep gaze.
His eyes that had appeared frivolous moments before seemed much more contemplative at this moment.
This girl really wasn’t simple.
He had put on the disguise of a playboy for so many years, and the only person who’d been able to see through this disguise had been Mu Feichi. Now, she was the second one who had been able to see through him.
No wonder Young Marshal Mu had been smitten by this woman. Not only her eyes but also her temperament was truly intoxicating.
Jiang Chenghuan smiled frivolously. “Girl, some things are better left unsaid, even if you can see through them.”
“I know. I was just speaking casually. You can treat it as if I hadn’t said anything at all. I know nothing.”
However, after a slight pause, Yun Xi kindly gave him a piece of advice.
“I see by your complexion that you don’t appear as healthy as you did at the beginning of winter. I’m guessing that you were ill a while ago, and perhaps you have not fully recovered from the disease.”
“You...” Jiang Chenghuan looked shocked. “How could you tell? You should change jobs and become a fortune-teller.”
Once she’d heard that, Yun Xi assumed that she had guessed right.
“Because you came to help me out today, I will give you a prescription. Ask your housekeeper to go to the pharmacy to retrieve it. Drink it for a month, and take care of your health. You don’t want subsequent generations to have health problems.”
Jiang Chenghuan’s dark eyes flashed, and he patted his chest with a mock-frightened look on his face. “Oh, don’t scare me!”
“Do you want me to give you the prescription?” Yun Xi glanced at him.
“Yes, of course. Thank you. Your medicine won’t kill me, will it?”
“...” Yun Xi gave him a blank look. She didn’t bother replying to his nonsense.
Jiang Chenghuan knew in his heart that his illness couldn’t be cured. The doctors had simply told him to rest and keep up his health as best as he could. They hadn’t given him any medicine.
He also knew that this girl had treated the old madame.
The doctors in the hospital had all said that she needed an operation, yet Yun Xi had successfully cured her without the operation. He believed in her!
Seeing Jiang Chenghuan approaching, the clubhouse’s waiter quickly called the manager over so that he could personally welcome him.
“Young Master Jiang, Young Marshal Mu is here too. He’s at the golf course over there. Would you like to go over there too or...”
“I’ll head over there.” Jiang Chenghuan waved his hand and then pulled Yun Xi onto a golf cart.
Upon hearing the manager say that Mu Feichi was also there, Yun Xi froze. She was pretty sure that this fellow had brought her here on purpose.
The cart parked near the golf course.
It was early winter. The winter climate in Jingdu brought clear skies and temperate weather. The sun provided a cozy warmth.
Yun Xi got out of the cart. Then she raised her eyes to gaze at several figures a short distance away. In front of her, she saw several towering figures.

Chapter 281: Unexpected PDA
...
His tall, imposing figure stood out among the crowd. He was wearing white casual golf attire.
The bright sunshine cast both light and shadow on his angular face, causing his facial features to seem especially chiseled and striking.
Holding the golf club in his hand, he appeared nonchalant, yet his mannerisms were also graceful and cultivated.
He swung and hit the small white ball. Standing on a hill in the distance, one of the workers made a gesture indicating the position of where the ball had landed.
The surrounding crowd quickly erupted into sustained applause. Mu Feichi seemed to be used to such flattery. His expression remained cold and detached.
Suddenly, he turned his head and saw the two figures approaching them. He handed his golf club to the caddy behind him and walked over to greet them.
Soon, Huo Tingxiao also detached himself from the game and walked over to say hello.
Yun Xi watched the crowd leaving. She guessed that the crowd had simply been there to watch these men because they left as soon as Mu Feichi and Huo Tingxiao stopped playing.
No one had dared to say anything to them. They didn’t even dare to compliment them.
Being a boss was different. One didn’t even need to speak to clear the field.
Just as Mu Feichi was approaching Jiang Chenghuan and Yun Xi, a worker noticed his gesture and walked toward Mu Feichi with a towel on a tray.
Mu Feichi took the towel and wiped away the sweat around his neck, then put some pressure on the red rash that still remained from the night before.
“Hi. I thought you went to dine with old Madame Chen?”
He asked this casually. They didn’t know whether he was asking Jiang Chenghuan or Yun Xi.
The two of them answered at the same time, “We’ve finished eating.”
As soon as he’d finished speaking, Jiang Chenghuan felt that he had said something inappropriate. He touched his nose and whispered, “You can’t imagine, but the Chen family put on a feast for her. Even I was taken aback! Everyone from the Chen family was there, and the scene seemed more lively than at New Year! If I had known that this was what was going on, I would definitely have gone on another day.”
Mu Feichi glanced at Jiang Chenghuan coldly. Jiang Chenghuan chuckled and then went to chat with Huo Tingxiao.
Yun Xi looked awkward and raised her head in anticipation of being teased by Mu Feichi.
As soon as she’d raised her head, she caught a glimpse of the red dots on his neck that were partially covered by the towel. Although they had faded a bit, she could still see the traces.
She suddenly stretched out her hand toward him, but, before she’d managed to touch him, she was stopped by Mu Feichi’s hand. It was as if he was intentionally preventing her from touching him.
Yun Xi stretched out her other hand to quickly pull down the towel around his neck.
Mu Feichi was about to stop her, but he was worried about hurting her, so he simply let her do whatever she wanted.
Pulling down the towel, Yun Xi frowned as she looked at the rash on his neck. She reached out her hands to examine it.
“Young Marshal Mu, are you allergic to any foods?” She wasn’t blind, and naturally, she could tell that it was an allergic reaction.
“It’s nothing. It has already healed.”
Yun Xi didn’t believe that was true. When she’d seen him last night, he had been all right. The red rash on his neck at this moment, even though it had faded slightly, was not something that was going to have healed so quickly.
As if suddenly thinking of something, she reached out to pull on another corner of his clothes. Then she lifted it up. As expected, she saw patches of red rashes spread out all over his body.
Mu Feichi was a bit dumbfounded by her lifting up his clothes in public.
“Little rascal, you don’t have to try to take off my clothes so desperately!”
“...” Yun Xi dropped her hand abruptly, then raised her head, blushing.
“Are you allergic to seafood?” She glared at him angrily. “Why did you eat it if you know you are allergic? You’re so stupid!”
“...” Mu Feichi hadn’t been reprimanded so harshly since he’d been a small child.
After being reprimanded by her so furiously, he inexplicably felt that the little rascal in front of him appeared most alluring when she was acting like a serious adult.
Upon seeing the two of them being so casual with their PDA, their two companions both bowed their heads and chuckled.
Jiang Chenghuan couldn’t help but say, “Such unexpected PDA!”
Yun Xi, “...”
Mu Feichi, “...”
