Chapter 349: You Don’t Want My Personal Service?
After 20 minutes, Mu Feichi stood at the bathroom door and knocked.
With annoyance, Yun Xi opened the bathroom door. Feeling at a loss for words, she walked out of the bathroom, stepping on his foot on her way.
Mu Feichi raised his eyebrows, and the gloomy expression on his face finally eased a bit.
Following behind her, he reached out and clasped her arm and led her to the sofa.
“What are you doing?” Caught off guard, Yun Xi had no idea what was going on, and she glared at his sullen profile.
If it hadn’t been for the injuries to her hands, she would really have liked to strangle him right now.
Sitting her down on the sofa, he turned around and sat down beside her. Immediately, she started getting restless.
“Sit down, I want to talk to you.”
Smiling, he reached out and pushed her back down on the sofa.
“If you move around again, I really will lose my temper.”
When he said that, Yun Xi suddenly stiffened up and immediately stopped moving.
She was injured now, so she couldn’t beat him up. She could only sit on the sofa obediently, and her stiff body dared not move.
Leaning against the sofa, Mu Feichi raised his eyebrows and looked at her. The heating was turned on in the room, so with the sensation of warmth, the faint scent of shower gel emanated from her.
“Were you frightened today?”
His deep and mellow voice lingered in her ears, and it wasn’t difficult to hear his anguish and concern.
Yun Xi nodded slightly. It was rare for him to be so gentle, and his voice had kind of a soothing effect.
“I didn’t want you to have to experience these kinds of ordeals, which is why I didn’t ask Li Zilan to teach you complicated things.”
Yun Xi knew that he hadn’t wanted her to come into contact with the cutthroat business world, so he hadn’t let her learn many things.
“After today’s events, do you still not want me to learn these things?”
She had just figured out that she had to learn these things if she wanted to become stronger.
What had happened today had provided an opportunity for her transformation.
Only if she was able to step past this hurdle, would she be able to go farther in the future.
Mu Feichi chuckled and asked her, “Do you want to learn more of these cutthroat things?”
Yun Xi nodded without hesitation. “Yes!”
“You’ll have to pay a price for learning these things. It will be exhausting and burdensome. It pains me. I can’t bear to watch you suffer through such hards.h.i.+ps. The Mu family is always guarding me, and you also have me to guard you. You just need to stand behind me.”
“Why should I stand behind you when I can stand side by side with you?”
She wasn’t a delicate flower, and she didn’t need to cling to others to survive.
With the memories and abilities that she had maintained from her previous life, she believed that she wouldn’t lose to anyone.
She turned her head slightly, and her youthful face was engraved with the stubbornness and courage of a newborn calf unafraid of tigers.
She didn’t realize it at all at that moment, but for Mu Feichi, these words were like a confession of love!
Mu Feichi smiled, as he lowered his head and leaned toward her. “Babe, only Mrs. Mu can stand side by side with me. Babe, are you confessing your love for me?”
“No! I didn’t mean that!”
Upon hearing this, Yun Xi suddenly snapped back to reality. Fl.u.s.tered, she turned her head away.
She’d almost fallen for his honey trap of gentleness.
“I meant, I won’t lose to anyone, so don’t underestimate me.”
Mu Feichi wasn’t annoyed by this. His thin lips were slightly raised into a smile, and his handsome brooding face was no longer as sulky as before. There was even a hint of joy on his striking face.
Slow and steady wins the race. He had all the patience in the world to wait for her.
“Okay, then I will wait and see.”
Yun Xi was stunned. She turned her head toward him in surprise. “Are you agreeing?”
Mu Feichi nodded, then he stretched out his other hand and made a random hand gesture.
“Look, I rule the Mu family with an iron fist. I can hurt people, but I can’t save people. However, you’re different.”
Raising his hand to pick up her hand, he had hints of pride on his face. “Your hands not only can save people, but can also hurt people. In the future, when you stand side by side with me, you will be in control of the Mu family’s affairs.”
“…” Yun Xi stared at her bandaged hands dazedly, and she felt immense emotional turmoil inside.
She had to admit that this man had ignited her ambitions to become stronger.
Only the strong can stand at the top!
