Chapter 319: She’s as Important as the Country
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Since there was such an experienced philanderer present, this topic wasn’t suitable for in-depth discussion. Yun Xi patted Great White’s head and changed the subject.
“Young Marshal Mu, aren’t you dealing with official business? How do you have so much time to be idle?”
“Well, you’re also part of my business.”
“A routine investigation?” Ignoring the romantic insinuation of his words, Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and couldn’t help teasing him in return.
At his computer, gazing at her with his head c.o.c.ked, Mu Feichi leaned back in his chair.
He was casually dressed. With his coffee-colored dreamy eyes and handsome features, as he leaned back, his self-a.s.sured mannerisms showcased his blue-blooded upbringing.
His family’s prosperity was on his shoulders, and her well-being was also one of his major concerns.
In his mind, she and the Mu family had always been on an equally important scale.
He was willing to risk his life for the sake of his responsibilities, as well as for her.
Before meeting her, he had lived only for the sake of the Mu family.
But now, after meeting her, he’d also started to live for her.
“Well, do I have to ask you, or will you speak up yourself?”
He knew about her every move even though they were thousands of miles apart.
The sentence he’d just said wasn’t what she misinterpreted it as.
Since she was playing dumb, he would keep up the act as well, since it wasn’t exactly difficult to play dumb.
“Doesn’t Young Marshal Mu already know everything about me? Oh, yes, the photos Qi Yuan gave me were very useful. Thank you, Young Marshal Mu!”
When she’d gotten the photos of Li Sinuo, she’d realized that this man controlled so many secrets and knowledge of the world.
Those deceitful shenanigans weren’t things she could get involved in or even imagine.
The deep connections and insider secrets that he was privy to were far deeper than anyone could imagine. She was only worried that by being so powerful, he would become a target for some bad people.
Since ancient times, the higher you stood, the more lonely you were.
There were many victims of the cutthroat compet.i.tion of the world of money and power.
Fortunately, he had always remained low key and had never showed off his many talents. By being discreet, he could seem mysterious and shady, and ordinary people wouldn’t dare provoke him.
Mu Feichi raised his eyebrows. “Just a thank you?”
“Young Marshal Mu, how do you want me to thank you? I don’t want to appear to be ungrateful. I’m sure you wouldn’t be satisfied with my response either way.”
“Well, let’s listen to it first.”
“For example?”
“After not seeing me for a few days, do you miss me?”
“…..” Yun Xi felt speechless. He’d started flirting with her out of the blue.
What Yun Xi didn’t know was that at that moment, there were more than a dozen technicians monitoring Mu Feichi, as well as combat commanders, and even the indifferent Li Zilan and Feng Rui.
Everyone was watching the usually dignified and solemn Young Marshal Mu flirt with her unabashedly. Even though his subordinates had stayed by his side for many years, they had never seen such a gentle side of Young Marshal Mu.
It was simply a spectacle that they had not thought that they would see in 1,000 years!
One by one, they all tensed up and waited for a good show as they held their breaths.
She didn’t answer. So, being stubborn and domineering, he waited quietly to show that he wasn’t going to back down until he got an answer from her.
She was really fed up with his unreasonably willful behavior. Yun Xi took a deep breath.
“Young Marshal Mu, it doesn’t seem appropriate for me to answer this question with a simple yes or no. But if I don’t answer, you will probably lose sleep over it, and it will affect your work. What do you think?”
Mu Feichi narrowed his dark eyes and said in a deep voice, “As if you don’t know what I am thinking about!”
He had never concealed his feelings for her, but she had always played dumb and kept pretending that she didn’t know anything.
She didn’t dare think about becoming the wife of the Mu family’s head of household. She knew she didn’t have the right to.
But even if she didn’t want to, Mu Feichi was going to force her to harbor this ambition!
If it hadn’t been for her young age, with someone as domineering and unreasonable as he was, he probably would have already put her into this position.
There was probably no one except Mu Feichi who was willing to resort to any means and go to such deep ends for her sake.
