Chapter 332-333

Chapter 332: After Eating the Silver Coin, You Have to Marry Me ... “What is this?” Looking curious, she raised her head. “The family badge of the Mu family. My dear, after eating this, you have to marry the person in charge of the Mu family in the future.” “Is this a joke?” Yun Xi purposely played dumb as she asked, “Who is the person in charge? I don’t know.” Mu Feichi smiled, grabbing her by the chin, as he pounded his chest, laughing. “He’s as unapproachable as the sky and right in front of you, me!” 　 　 “Who is going to marry you?” Grabbing a paper towel to wipe the silver coin clean, she put it back into Mu Feichi’s hand in mock anger. “Who do you want to marry if you don’t want to marry me? That idiot Jiang Henglin looks down on you.” “Who cares about him?” Not wanting to worry about marrying at all, Yun Xi snorted and pointed to the dumplings. “Who knows whether you stuffed silver coins inside every single dumpling to influence a naive young girl like me.” He was such an experienced flirt, and she’d been so foolish in her previous life that she had died because of a love that she’d believed in but which had never actually existed. In terms of love, she couldn’t help but have her guard up. Mu Feichi chuckled. “Then you finish eating and have a look.” He seemed to have guessed that she would say this a long time ago, so he’d wrapped one of the silver coins in the crab dumpling. He was allergic to seafood, so naturally, he wouldn’t eat it himself. In this way, no matter when she ate them or if she had him try them first, only she would get the dumpling with the silver coin. Just like no matter what, she could only marry him in the future. Yun Xi glanced at him and then stubbornly forked the leek dumplings into his mouth. In her fit of temper, she didn’t notice that the two of them were using the same fork. She didn’t like eating leeks that much because the taste was too overpowering, and she didn’t like it when she had eaten one of the moments before. 　 　 But Mu Feichi liked eating them. To him, eating something that symbolized eternity would bring him good luck. “What birthday gift do you want?” At first, Yun Xi was caught off guard, then she tapped on the insulated box with a fork and pointed at the colorful dumplings as she said, “Isn’t this my birthday present?” What an extravagant birthday present! He was already practically handing her the powerful position as his wife on a silver platter, so asking for a birthday present would be too greedy, wouldn’t it? Although, she didn’t want any birthday present at all. “And me!” Mu Feichi pounded his chest again and said, “I’ll package myself for you.” “Eh, I’m not interested in raw flesh soaked in disinfectant alcohol.” “Since you don’t want it, then have this.” With that, he took out a pink phone from the pocket of his jacket and handed it to her. Feeling a little dazed, Yun Xi glanced at the phone he’d handed over. In this era, phones were still quite expensive. Unlike in the era when she’d died when phones were everywhere, where even children were holding the latest high-tech phones in their hands and playing games on them. 　 　 In this era, the most commonplace phones cost 3,000 to 4,000 yuan. With her mother’s selfish and stingy temperament, no way would she ever get her a phone. When she was in college in her last life, old man Jiang had given her a phone. “This has the latest GPS system that our department has just researched. You can record things, take pictures, or surf the Internet. It has more security settings than mobile phones that are on the market. It will be convenient for you.” “I can’t take it. If my parents ask me where it came from, what will I say? I can’t afford it on my own.” “Then why don’t you cheat your dad and use his money to make it seem as if you bought this phone with that money? Can’t you be a little smarter?” Yun Xi just remembered that that morning her father had promised her a birthday present. Nice timing. She can tell him that she has bought a phone, and she will be able to cheat him to get a sum of money from him. “Okay! Thank you, Young Marshal Mu!” She did think a phone would make her life more convenient. While eating the dumplings, Yun Xi turned and glanced at him. “Your wound has opened, so how will you crawl back out of the window?” “I won’t leave tonight. Please accept me for the night.” Then he kicked off his boots, lifted the quilt, and got in the bed. Yun Xi gave him an angry look, gritted her teeth, and blurted out, “Why don’t you ask my parents if you can adopt me?” “Would you raise me?” “...” She’d really shot herself in the foot. ************************************ Chapter 333: Beware of the Scalpel ... In truth, Yun Xi didn’t really want him to crawl back out of the window. She was worried that, as his wound had just been treated, it could rip open again if he exerted himself too much. That fool had come in through the window to deliver dumplings for her, risking his wounds opening up. It would be really ungrateful of her to drive him back outside in such cold weather. Although she knew that he was an experienced flirt, he still respected her and wouldn’t do anything inappropriate while she was still a minor. 　 　 It wasn’t like they had never shared the same bed without touching each other before. She would just give him half of the bed. Besides, he was a gentleman who knew best what was and wasn’t appropriate, so he would act accordingly. This man’s righteous, heroic vibe would make him irresistible to any woman. He really was a person people just couldn’t hate. Yun Xi got out an extra quilt and brushed her teeth. Before she got into bed, she kicked him unceremoniously. “Don’t you dare mess around in the middle of the night, otherwise beware of the scalpel under my pillow?” Mu Feichi leaned on his side, gazing at her with a small smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “Do I look that insatiable?” “Who knows?” Yun Xi said as she lay down wrapped in the quilt. Then she turned off the light, and they went to sleep. In the middle of the night, Mu Feichi was awakened by the sound of footsteps on the stairs. The infrared scanner behind the door sensed the stranger’s footsteps and made a faint beep, awakening Yun Xi as well. Soon, Liang Xiuqin’s loud voice and vigorous pounding on the door could be heard from outside in the hall. “Wretched girl! Get up! Get up quickly! Don’t you dare continue sleeping!” Hearing Liang Xiuqin’s loud voice and the sound of pounding on the door, Yun Xi frowned, turning on the bedside lamp as she sat up. Turning, she saw Mu Feichi, probably also woken up by the sound of Liang Xiuqin, leaning on his elbow and looking at her. 　 　 “You wretched girl! Are you awake? What did you feed Ziling to make her suffer from diarrhea all night long?” Yun Xi rubbed her forehead and listened to the sound of the pounding on the door. Her mother wasn’t going to give up. She was definitely going to stir up a ruckus tonight. She made an eye gesture at Mu Feichi, then put on her down jacket, and dimmed the bedside lamp. She opened the door, and, closing the door on her way out, she went to see her mother. “Mom, what do you want so late at night? Can’t you let people sleep?” “You wretched girl, what did you feed Ziling? Why has she been suffering from extreme diarrhea from 10 o’clock until now? Why are you so vicious?” “What could I have given her? Mom, what are you talking about? Instead of asking her what she ate, you ask me instead? Why are you so ridiculous?” “Who could it be besides you? She didn’t eat anything tonight except your cake. Now she is on the verge of collapse. How dare you say it’s not because of you?” “What does this have to do with me? The Eldest Heir sent the cake, and I didn’t eat one bite of it. She ate it all by herself! If you eat too much cake, it’s only natural to get diarrhea. What’s the fuss?” “What’s the fuss? You unscrupulous girl, don’t you have medical skills? Go check on her quickly!” The driver had already gone home since it was in the middle of the night. Also, it was cold and snowing outside, so Liang Xiuqin didn’t want to go to the hospital’s emergency room so late at night. 　 　 “What can I do? It’s just diarrhea. Just give her some medicine.” “You wretched girl, you’re so unwilling to check on your sister’s symptoms, yet more than happy to check on the symptoms of outsiders.” “Don’t we have any medicine at home? Just give her a few pills.” “They won’t work if she takes them at night.” “Then you have to take her to the emergency room. There’s no use asking me.” “You...” Liang Xiuqin was anxious already, so upon seeing her refusing in such an uncompromising manner, she got even more angry and slapped her across the face. Yun Xi dodged her, and Liang Xiuqin forcefully hit the door with her hand, causing her to scream in pain. “Dad! Dad, Mom is hitting me!” Yun Xi saw Yun Yuanfeng coming upstairs and hurried to his side. “Liang Xiuqin, what are you fussing about so late at night? If Yun Ziling has diarrhea, just give her some medicine. Do you have to stir up a ruckus among the entire family? Get out of here!” Yun Yuanfeng was protecting Yun Xi and glaring fiercely at Liang Xiuqin, an unreasonable woman who did nothing but cause trouble. She was simply outrageous! “Wretched girl!” Liang Xiuqin held her red and swollen hand. Having to retreat empty-handed, she gritted her teeth and glared at Yun Xi, then turned around and went downstairs with an infuriated expression. Yun Xi hid behind Yun Yuanfeng timidly. “Dad...” “It’s okay now, so you go back to sleep.” Yun Yuanfeng patted her on the shoulder, then turned around and went downstairs.
