Chapter 154: Petty Tricks!
Mu Yichen abruptly got up from the couch and immediately strode out of the villa without even taking his coat.
He slammed the door heavily.
Soon after, the sound of a car’s engine starting could be heard from the courtyard.
Only then did Luo Chenxi open her eyes.
She tried to prop her body to sit back up, but it felt like all her strength had been emptied to the brim, so she could only stay collapsed on the couch.
!!
Earlier, Luo Chenxi could feel the man’s strong and tight grip on her. All it took was for her to lightly nod her head for Mu Yichen to start going down on her.
However, the man got up and left straight away instead.
“You… Why did you…”
Luo Chenxi muttered to herself. As she recalled Young Master Mu’s cold and merciless voice, she felt a sudden ache surging up to her chest.
An unfamiliar sense of panic started to overwhelm her.
For a split second, she really wanted to dart out of the door to stop Mu Yichen from leaving.
However, in the end, all she did was bury her face into the sofa cushion.
“What are you thinking? Could it be that you really… Luo Chenxi, wake up! A man like Mu Yichen is not someone you can afford to mess around with!”
…
Meanwhile, Mu Yichen’s sports car sped along the road.
It ran several red lights in a row before stopping at the entrance to Secret Clubhouse.
“Young Master Mu, what brings you here today?”
The moment the manager saw Mu Yichen, he personally attended to him and brought him to the exclusive private room located at the top floor.
“Young Master Mu, is there anything else that I can do for you? Should I fetch a few hostesses? The club recently received some new blood of elites, they all look…”
“Get lost, don’t bother me!”
Mu Yichen chased the solicitous manager away with a cold face, then took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet. He poured himself a gla.s.s and immediately downed it in a jiffy.
It did not take long for several empty bottles to appear in front of him.
He had always been known for his good alcohol tolerance. In the past, Bai Shixun and the others tried ganging up on him a few times and forced him to drink until he dropped, but they never succeeded.
The more he drank, the clearer his mind became.
Scene by scene, the event that had unfolded not too long ago replayed in his mind.
Mu Yichen recalled the affectionate treatment by Chenxin as he arrived home earlier. Even though he knew deep down that she had her motives, he could not help immersing himself in the enjoyable moment.
He watched her lead the little dumpling into the kitchen to help out with cooking. From time to time, the little girl would poke her little head out to peek at him as he sat in the living room.
Mu Yichen had an illusion, that the three of them felt like a real and blissful family that could be promoted as an ideal family on TV.
Now that he thought back, they were all her petty tricks!
He was the only one foolish enough to believe such a woman’s act.
Mu Yichen got bored of drinking alone after a while, the main problem was that he could not get himself drunk no matter how hard he tried, so he could not even get to feel how it was like to get completely wasted.
He took out his cell phone and dialed Bai Shixun’s number.
“I’m at the Secret Clubhouse. Come and drink with me.”
Hearing this, Bai Shixun was briefly stunned. He deliberately moved his cell phone away from his ear and double checked the name on the screen.
“D*mn, it really is you! Yichen, I never thought you’d be the one to go to Secret of your own accord! Did the sun rise from the west? Back then, you’d only show up when we ask. Ever since you married that vixen, Luo Chenxin, even when we asked, we don’t even get to see your silhouette showing up eight out of ten times. So, what’s with you today?”
“Cut the c.r.a.p. Are you coming or not?” Mu Yichen cut off Bai Shixun’s long and draggy speech.
Bai Shixun choked for a moment, then sighed heavily. “Sigh, I really want to, but… I’m working overtime!”
Looking at the mountain of doc.u.ments on his desk, he had the urge to spurt blood.
Back when he had witnessed Secretary Fang’s true colors, he truly believed that he had managed to get a hold on that woman’s weakness.
In the end, Fang Ziqian acted as if nothing had happened. She still dressed like a typical disciplinary teacher everyday as she kept up her verbal a.s.sault toward him.
A few days later, she abruptly submitted an annual leave application to him.
Bai Shixun was getting really tired of her constant oppression, so he quickly approved her leave application in an attempt to exchange for a few days of peace and quietness.
He never imagined it would turn out to be the beginning of a nightmare.
Without Secretary Fang, he got as beat as a slave everyday, facing the stream of never-ending work.
Let alone going out to drink and flirt with girls, being able to even get a wink of sleep had become a luxury as he worked overtime until late night everyday.
“Hey, Yichen, let me tell you this, that woman Fang Ziqian is really so…”
It was rare for him to receive a call from a good friend, so Bai Shixun took the opportunity to rant about his frustrations.
Just as he started ranting, Bai Shixun heard beeping noises coming from the phone.
Mu Yichen was not in the mood to listen to rants in the first place, so he hung up without a second thought as soon as he knew Bai Shixun was not coming.
