Chapter 503: The Strong Never Rely on Words Alone
“It is obvious that Young Marshal Mu also admires Yun Xi, but she has the right to choose her own pathway in the future. The Chen family will unconditionally support all her choices.”
Mu Feichi was not pleased with Chen Ziqu’s comment in the least.
His woman didn’t need anyone else to shelter her, let alone to support her.
Are they saying that when he, Mu Feichi, protects his own woman, he needs to rely on another family’s powers?
Were they suggesting that he, Young Marshal Mu, the Patriarch of the Mu family, was powerless?
“Third Young Master, you should spend more time worrying about your own health. You don’t need to worry about the future of this little girl.”
After saying that, Mu Feichi grabbed Yun Xi and pulled her out of the ward without saying another word.
The members of the Chen family looked dumbfounded. Unwilling to give up so easily, Chen Yichen chased after them. As soon as he got out of the ward, he saw Mu Feichi blocking the hallway.
From his posture, it was obvious that he had been waiting for him.
Chen Yichen glanced at Yun Xi, who was standing behind Mu Feichi. For a moment, he suddenly felt that there was a huge distance between him and her.
Especially with Mu Feichi standing in the middle...he felt that there was an unbridgeable gap.
“Yun Xi, my third uncle didn’t mean anything bad. He just wanted to thank you for saving his life. You are a valued friend of our family. No matter what, we would never pressure you.”
Indicating that she understood the intention of the Chen family’s words today, Yun Xi smiled and nodded slightly.
“I understand. I thank you and the Third Young Master for your kindness. Everything in my life will have to wait until the college entrance examination. If I don’t pass the exam, then it wouldn’t be too late for you to help me get in through the back door. What do you think?”
When she’d returned to Jingdu, apart from the Jiang family, the Chen family had given her the most help. If it had been simply that they’d wanted to thank her for saving Chen Yichen’s life, the Chen family would’ve simply given her some money and dismissed her.
But instead of simply using money to dismiss her, they had also remembered her kindness and helped her in many ways in the months that followed.
She had to appreciate all their goodwill.
“Okay.” Since she’d answered his pleas, Chen Yichen couldn’t say anything further.
He regretted it, but he couldn’t decide her future without her authorization.
Thinking about this, Chen Yichen looked at Mu Feichi, whose gloomy eyes were filled with an icy coldness.
He’d never considered becoming an enemy of this man, but now because of Yun Xi, he knew he wanted to compete with him.
Mu Feichi seemed to have read his mind and crushed his fantasies in one fell swoop.
“I never compete with people who aren’t on the same level as I am.”
Mu Feichi’s merciless provocation immediately irritated Chen Yichen, who was already lacking in confidence regarding this matchup.
Clenching his fists tightly, Chen Yichen refused to give up. He retorted, “Young Marshal Mu, time will tell. I might not lose to you.”
“Then wait until you have more ability before you challenge me.”
“...” Chen Yichen didn’t say another word. He knew very well that even if that day came, Yun Xi still might not stand by his side.
Yun Xi glanced back and forth between them and didn’t understand what they were talking about at first.
“Young Marshal Mu, as a senior, it’s not nice of you to bully your junior, is it? Don’t you know you should treat seniors with respect and treat juniors with kindness?”
Mu Feichi hadn’t expected Yun Xi to speak up for Chen Yichen, and his fierce look suddenly disappeared.
But the words that came out of his mouth were full of teasing and mockery, “When I bullied you, you didn’t tell me to treat seniors with respect and treat juniors with kindness. Yet now, you’re speaking up for someone else so actively.”
“...” Yun Xi blushed. No matter how stupid one was, one could discern what he actually meant when he said he’d bullied her.
“So what if I’m a senior bullying my junior? The strong never rely on words alone. If you have the ability, then prove it with strength.”
Mu Feichi gave Chen Yichen a cold glance and then led Yun Xi toward the elevator.
Watching them walking away, Chen Yichen felt as if he were choking. There was an indescribable bitterness in his throat.

Chapter 504: Just Being My Woman Is Enough
When the two people waiting in the driver’s seat and the passenger’s seat saw the jealous man walking toward them looking as if he was about to blow his top, no one said a word. They just silently opened the back doors for Mu Feichi and Yun Xi.
Yun Xi’s eyes had gotten very wide. Mu Feichi looked so angry that his black eyes looked like ink, and she was waiting to see if ink drops were going to be squeezed out.
Almost without thinking about it, she bent her leg and jammed it into his knee.
Taken by surprise, Mu Feichi groaned. By the time he’d reacted, she had already sprung up and swiftly thrown him back against the seat.
The car was padded with Turkish carpets, so even if he rolled off the seat, he wasn’t going to get hurt from falling.
But the interior of the car wasn’t all that big, so after she’d lunged toward him so recklessly, he not only had to protect her from being hurt but, at the same time, he’d also had to avoid getting his head bashed in.
The little rascal had reacted extremely fast. With rash aggression, she’d immediately given him a taste of what it was like to frivolously underestimate his opponent.
He fell onto the carpet and bashed the back of his head directly on the edge of the car door.
Almost reflexively, even though he had fallen to the ground, he didn’t forget to tighten his grip on the little rascal attacking him.
Since there was so much movement and noise in the back seat, the two people in front, hearing the sounds and fearing that they were fighting, quickly lowered the barrier between the front and back seats.
As the barrier was lowered, they saw Yun Xi attacking Young Marshal Mu. Mu Feichi was frowning, and he didn’t seem pleased.
“Young Marshal Mu...” Qi Yuan stepped on the brakes and nervously looked at them.
“Get lost.” Mu Feichi glared at him. Not wanting to get involved or to be a punching bag, Qi Yuan hurriedly raised the barrier again.
As if realizing that she was in trouble, Yun Xi desperately tried to push him away. However, Mu Feichi held her tighter, to the extent that they could feel each other’s heartbeats.
“Immature Young Marshal Mu, I will be suffocated like this.”
Upon hearing the muffled complaining from the girl in his arms, Mu Feichi let go of one hand. He propped himself up and looked at her. He was relieved after he’d ascertained that she was okay.
Yun Xi got up and moved back onto the seat, still glowering at the man who remained on the ground.
She reached out to touch the back of his head to rearrange his hair that she’d messed up. Only then, she hears his theatrical screams of pain and she ascertained that he had indeed bashed his head.
Well, very well. He’d originally tried to tease her, but now he’d bashed his head instead.
He couldn’t blame her for being too ruthless. It had simply been her natural reflex.
“Young Marshal Mu, like the teacher, like the pupil. I am sorry. I hope my kick didn’t give you erectile dysfunction. It’s my bad, my bad.”
When she said this, she touched his head in a semi-serious way.
The height gap between them gave Mu Feichi the feeling that she was caressing his head as if he were Great White.
With a look of dissatisfaction, Mu Feichi’s face grew sullen.
“It seems that Li Zilan has to be kept away from you.”
It turned out that if he didn’t watch them for even one day, who knew what Li Zilan might teach her? She never learned anything good, only the bad things.
Yun Xi looked at him with an innocent expression and a smile.
“Not so. What Boss Zilan teaches me is self-defense. After repeated attempts, you see, even you, Young Marshal Mu, fell for it. It shows how foresighted Boss Zilan is.”
Mu Feichi snorted softly. Just now, he had been fuming with rage. But after being teased by her, his mood had actually brightened.
Yun Xi smiled, took a lollipop from her pocket, peeled off the wrapper, and stuffed it into his mouth. She patted his face and said, “Young Marshal Mu, this is a reward for you. Get up, and don’t ask for any more trouble. Next time, my kick might be a little less accurate and you might really end up with erectile dysfunction.”
“If I really had erectile dysfunction, then, babe, you would have to be responsible for me for the rest of your life.”
Mu Feichi raised his head, stretched out his long arms to clasp her neck, and kissed her hard on the lips.
“You don’t need to work as a slave. Just being my woman is enough.”
“Jerk!”
