Chapter 414-415
Chapter 414: The Honey Trap to the Hero’s Grave
...
After getting in the car, Yun Xi turned her head and glanced at Mu Feichi’s sullen face. Then she looked at Han Yaotian, who was standing at the entrance to the small diner. He appeared to have had his ego bruised. She was in a great mood.
Since he’d dared to try and exploit her, he had to bear the consequences of being shamed by Young Marshal Mu.
Mu Feichi was blue blood who was suave, sophisticated, arrogant, and cocky.
Han Yaotian’s humble beginnings and low self-esteem determined that he would never be able to surpass Mu Feichi.
Upon seeing her expression, Mu Feichi’s entire face darkened, and the vibe in the car became negative.
Yun Xi didn’t notice at all. She was in high spirits when she felt the back of her neck tighten. Mu Feichi had grabbed her neck and dragged her back from the car window.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed her tightly in his arms.
“Why do you seem so unwilling to say good-bye to Han Yaotian? Do you need me to call him over to say goodbye to you again?”
“Huh?” Yun Xi was a little dumbfounded. Then she cocked her head and raised her chin to look at the handsome face close in front of her. It was indeed sulky and gloomy.
Moreover, she sensed jealousy amid the sulkiness.
However, she also got a whiff of his musky and refreshingly minty body scent.
Although he was a businessman and spent all his days around old men, he always smelled pleasant.
She preferred his scent to that of Han Yaotian, who used men’s perfume to smell nice. At least this sort of masculine scent wasn’t repulsive to her.
She didn’t know where she got the balls to do so, but she deliberately sniffed an area on his neck, as she smiled and joked, “Young Marshal Mu, do you smell jealousy?”
At that moment, Mu Feichi had lowered his head just as she’d happened to raise her head, and the two of them bumped into each other just like that.
The honey trap to the hero’s grave...
The little rascal in his arms was gradually growing up and making him lose control again and again.
Mu Feichi’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly reached out to clasp the back of her neck while glaring at the little rascal in front of him with exasperation and amusement.
It was as if not showing mercy or gentleness was the only way to teach this nonsensical rascal a lesson.
Upon being glared at by him, Yun Xi felt confused.
She had forgotten that in such a confined environment, this kind of man shouldn’t be provoked.
The consequence would be like this. She couldn’t escape or hide.
The two people in the front seat looked at them in the rearview mirror. Qi Yuan tactfully raised the soundproof panel in the car.
Yun Xi and Mu Feichi stared at each other. Whoever had lit the fire was naturally responsible for extinguishing it.
Perhaps it was because he was in a bad mood, but when Yun Xi was stared at, she felt like food for prey.
Finally, she pushed him away with an exasperated expression on her face.
Mu Feichi lowered his head slightly, and his dark eyes appeared more and more unfathomable. With his handsome face leaning toward her, he asked with a smile, “Didn’t you smell jealousy? Is it sour?”
“...” She had beat around the bush insinuating that he was jealous, so he had directly told her whether he was jealous.
He also asked her about her experience with jealousy. He really was immature.
The term East Asian Vinegar King was specially tailored for him.
In the back seat, Mu Feichi embraced her and rubbed her head softly as if he was holding a pillow.
At a loss for words, Yun Xi stretched out her hand to pry away his fingers. Every time she flicked him off, he would let go and quickly embrace her from another angle.
Again and again... He was teasing her as if she was a cat.
Yun Xi lowered her head and glanced at the hands clasped around her waist. Then she relented and gave up her fight.
“Young Marshal Mu, why did you suddenly appear here? Moreover, you appeared in such a timely fashion. You didn’t send someone to monitor me at the gates of my school, did you?”
“What if I did? If Han Yaotian had abducted you, who would I cry to?”
“...” He didn’t need to cry. She would be the one crying!

Chapter 415: PDA
...
The car finally stopped in front of the landmark Jingdu Seven Stars Hotel.
Mu Feichi’s bodyguard got out of the car first. Even before getting out of the car, Yun Xi felt a sense of oppression.
She was a little taken aback and turned to look at the man sitting next to her. She rarely saw him traveling with bodyguards.
Who was he here to see?
“What are we doing here?”
The Seven Stars Hotel in Jingdu was considered the most luxurious hotel owned by the Mu family corporation, and its guests were all important figures.
Since he’d come here with a large contingent, he wasn’t here to meet ordinary people, right?
“I’m going to meet someone. You can eat something. Sit and be good while you wait for me.”
After getting out of the car, Mu Feichi turned sideways and stood in front of Yun Xi. Then he leaned over and placed her hand on the collar of his coat.
“Help me see if my collar is crooked.”
“...” With exasperation, Yun Xi looked at the man who had deliberately asked her to help arrange his clothes. He wasn’t wearing a tie today.
She wondered if he had been wearing one, would he have asked her to tie his tie in public?
She had never seen anyone flaunt in public like this.
Feng Rui and Qi Yuan got out of the car to follow Mu Feichi. Feng Rui coughed slightly as he watched these two people showing PDA.
“Young Marshal Mu, do you have to flaunt PDA so early in the day? Sooner or later, you’re going to receive backlash about it.”
The cocky Young Marshal Mu glanced over at Feng Rui with a fearless expression on his face. “As if I’m afraid of backlash?”
“...” Yun Xi quickly closed the collar of Mu Feichi’s coat to satisfy his desire for PDA.
Mu Feichi looked down at the soft little rascal in front of him. With her eyes downcast as she arranged his clothes for him, she appeared to be perfectly suited for the role of the Mu family’s madame. He couldn’t help but feel tranquil inside.
For some inexplicable reason, he felt a sense of anticipation for the future.
Qi Yuan patted Feng Rui on the shoulder and kindly reminded him, “People who interrupt other people’s PDA also risk backlash as well.”
At the entrance of the hotel, the manager, who had received the news of Mu Feichi’s arrival beforehand, was already waiting there. When he saw Mu Feichi coming, he rushed forward to greet him.
Mu Feichi turned his head and glanced at Yun Xi in the car and told the manager, “Take Miss Yun to the restaurant and don’t neglect her.”
“Yes, Young Marshal Mu.” The manager rushed toward Yun Xi, making a polite gesture, and then turned around politely and led her to the restaurant, which was on the left side of the hotel.
Yun Xi glanced at Mu Feichi, who nodded slightly, then raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist. “I’ll be there soon. Order whatever you want for yourself.”
“Okay.” Yun Xi nodded and turned to follow the manager.
Mu Feichi quickly collected himself. His handsome face resumed its usual serious and sullen expression as he led Feng Rui and Qi Yuan to the elevator on the other side of the hotel.
...
After entering the restaurant, Yun Xi found that the other guests were staring at her curiously as soon as she’d entered.
She had just remembered that this was a very fancy hotel, and people who came to eat here had to dress accordingly.
She was wearing a casual down coat, trousers, and boots. No matter how one looked at her, she looked like a dishwasher from the hotel kitchen.
Walking among this group of guests who were all dressed formally, she appeared especially out of place.
The manager had seen it all, so knowing that she was a guest of Mu Feichi, he dared not neglect her.
When the guests saw the lobby manager’s respectful guidance toward a dishwasher, they were shocked. They looked at Yun Xi with even more incredulity and curiosity in their eyes.
Yun Xi found a seat by the window, then took the menu from the manager as she raised her head and smiled politely.
“You can attend to Young Marshal Mu now. I can order the food by myself.”
“Okay. Please do whatever you see fit.” The manager called the waiter over and went out of the restaurant.
Yun Xi flipped through the menu and ordered Yangzhou fried rice. When she raised her head, she noticed a woman sitting diagonally across from her staring at her.
The Han family were all here, including the old man of the Han family and Han Yaotian’s sister-in-law, the youngest heiress.
In her last life, when she had been with Han Yaotian, she had suffered quite a lot at the hands of this elder.
Upon seeing her again, Yun Xi was caught a bit off guard. She really hadn’t expected to see the Han family again so soon after being reborn.
Ill-fated relationships of past lifetimes were really hard to let go of.
