Chapter 501-502

Chapter 501: You Just Need to Be Responsible for the Rest of My Life 　 In order to put on a convincing act, Yun Xi really took every detail into consideration. Even Yun Yuanfeng’s hobbies and habits had been taken into consideration. With so much preparation, if Yun Yuanfeng didn’t take the bait, then all her hard work would have been in vain. The only thing was, for this good show, she needed to use Young Marshal Mu’s title as a guise, so Young Marshal Mu would just have to just bear with it. After school, Yun Xi received a call from Qi Yuan. She took the script and went directly out of school. 　 　 She was rejoicing over how Mu Feichi was so efficient, and she wanted to thank them all. However, as soon as she opened the car door, she saw Mu Feichi sitting in the back seat. Upon seeing him, Yun Xi smiled awkwardly. Just as she was hesitating over getting into the car, Mu Feichi reached out and pulled her inside. He closed the door with a bang. In the driver’s seat, Feng Rui quickly started the car and stepped on the accelerator. Yun Xi lost her balance and fell on Mu Feichi’s thigh. “Young Marshal Mu, I...I...I didn’t do it on purpose.” Trembling, Yun Xi looked at the man with eyes full of embarrassment. Her face burned as she blushed profusely. After thinking about it, she was afraid that she would be held responsible, so she blamed the driver. “Don’t blame me! It was Feng Rui. It was his poor driving skills. Don’t blame me.” “Feng Rui,” Mu Feichi said coldly. Feng Rui got goosebumps just hearing Young Marshal Mu call his name. He didn’t know what had happened, but at this time, not only would he be unwilling to take the blame, but also Young Marshal Mu wouldn’t be willing to either. Moreover, from Young Marshal Mu’s tone, he clearly didn’t want Feng Rui to get in between him and his woman. If he had the balls to take the blame, Young Marshal Mu would definitely let him carry the blame to the end. 　 　 “Young Marshal Mu, I’m not to blame. I won’t take the blame.” Yun Xi glared at Feng Rui angrily. Were they saying that she did it on purpose? Mu Feichi raised his eyebrows with satisfaction and then turned his head to look at the little thing pouting beside him and squeezed her pink face with his hand. “Babe, you must own up to what you have done.” Yun Xi used scissor hands to pry his hands off her and then looked at his Machiavellian face with an insincere smile. “Young Marshal Mu, if something really happens, do I have to be responsible for everything?” “You don’t need to be responsible for everything, babe. You just need to be responsible for the rest of my life.” “.....” This sort of topic really couldn’t be continued. Yun Xi gritted her teeth and took a deep breath and then tried to conceal her embarrassment and shyness. Turning her head away with a chuckle, she acted as if everything was normal and as if she had forgotten what had just happened two seconds ago. “Young Marshal Mu, you seem to have quite a lot of leisure time these days.” She’d been seeing him so much recently. “Why? Isn’t it good that I’m idle? It’s not like a company as big as the Mu Corporation will go bankrupt any second if left on its own. Can’t I give myself a few days off?” 　 　 Mu Feichi looked at her with a half-hearted smile. Since she was able to calm down so quickly, she had good composure. “It’s very good. It’s just that I asked Feng Rui and Qi Yuan for help today. Young Marshal Mu, you didn’t need to personally come to supervise, did you? Some things are inconvenient with you there.” “Did I say I would masquerade as your friend?” “No.” Yun Xi blinked. “Then what’s the point of you personally coming?” “Third Young Master Chen wants to see you, so we will meet with him first now.” “Oh.” Yun Xi nodded. She couldn’t meet Patriarch Si’s wife, but she could meet Third Young Master Chen. “Also, Madame said that she wanted to see you. Last time, the bodyguard came to invite you, but you ran away. Since you acted so mysteriously and didn’t give them an excuse, that made many people curious about you.” “Just ignore me since I don’t mean to inflate myself. I’m just a small person unworthy of mentioning.” “But now, a little person like you is a mystery to them.” “Then tell them that curiosity killed the cat.” *** Chapter 502: Why Couldn’t He Act More Maturely? 　 When Yun Xi saw Third Young Master Chen again, it was as if she were reliving the car accident that had happened the other night. She still felt speechless when she thought about it. Although she’d been severely reprimanded by Mu Feichi for her part in it, she also felt as if something in her blood had been awakened. If her kidnapping had awakened her to the idea of becoming stronger... The occurrences of that night had made her want to become a really powerful person. Someone as powerful as Mu Feichi and Li Zilan... Mu Feichi was unreasonably protective of her, so she couldn’t rely on him to teach her all the things she wanted to know. He was right about something though. Since she could wield a scalpel, in the same way, she could also use a knife. 　 　 Listening to Third Young Master Chen’s words of appreciation and gratitude toward her, Yun Xi smiled awkwardly. She really wasn’t comfortable dealing with these kinds of situations. Third Young Master Chen was her elder after all, and a big figure in the business world, so she couldn’t affront him. She could only politely repeat how she had simply practiced the benevolence of a doctor in answering his effusive praises. Because of this lifesaving act, Chen Ziqu gave Yun Xi the green light. As soon as she finished her college entrance examination, if she wanted to enter the business world or start her own business, he would unconditionally provide her with investments and business connections. What he was undoubtedly telling her was that, in the future, she would be backed by the Chen family in the business world. Yun Xi didn’t know what to say to react to this pie in the sky, and she looked at Mu Feichi reflexively. Third Young Master Chen was throwing her an olive branch so sincerely, but wasn’t he ignoring Mu Feichi? Sure enough, just as she had this thought, Mu Feichi fired back, “Third Young Master Chen, are you trying to steal people away from me?” “...” He asked this apparently overbearing, unreasonable question with a slightly sullen demeanor. And, as soon as Mu Feichi had spoken, the entire ward fell silent. One after another, the people of the Chen family looked toward Yun Xi. They were all sensible people. Even if Mu Feichi hadn’t explicitly expressed what he was saying, everyone could understand what he’d meant. Mu Feichi raised his eyebrows coldly, and his sullen eyes fell on Chen Yichen. 　 　 Chen Yichen frowned as he looked back at Mu Feichi. His eyes darkened and his hands, which were in his pockets, tightened slightly. Letting Yun Xi choose the pathway she wanted to take in the future with the Chen family supporting her had been his idea. First, in this way, the Chen family could take this opportunity to repay Yun Xi’s lifesaving of the Third Young Master. Second, if the Chen family became Yun Xi’s backers, she would never have to worry about being bullied in Jingdu in the future. And third, after Yun Xi entered the business world, as the head of the Mu family, Mu Feichi would have to consider the Mu family’s rules and Yun Xi’s identity in the future, so he wouldn’t be able to act recklessly, regardless of any consequences. Chen Yichen was seeking to protect Yun Xi, but he also wanted to use this opportunity to compete with Mu Feichi. However, Mu Feichi saw through his motives immediately and answered his attempt with a single sentence. What he had just said was to clearly tell them that Yun Xi was his people. Whoever dared to even think of stealing her away from him would risk falling out with him, Mu Feichi. Throughout the whole of Jingdu, who would dare to offend this lord? Yun Xi was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole to hide in. Mu Feichi’s words were really reckless. Although his words themselves weren’t that serious, he had basically announced her as belonging to him in public. She had no ties to him, but he had insisted on saying that. How would she deal with the Chen family in the future? Why couldn’t he act more maturely? This cheesy procedure of publicly declaring that she was part of his world really didn’t suit her. Although Chen Ziqu had expected this already, he still froze when he heard Mu Feichi accuse him of stealing his people away. However, since he was a worldly person after all, upon being accused by Mu Feichi like that, Chen Ziqu laughed as if it had been a joke and played dumb.
