Chapter 1370 Dead End 5
Even though saying these things would make him unhappy, she could not help it. Then, she carefully looked at him from the corner of her eye.
While this man usually doted on her and loved her very much, there were still some things that she could not touch. Apart from her being his lover and becoming one of the untouchables to him, his brotherhood was also a forbidden zone.
So, as he listened, that handsome of face of his did not look too pleased, but he did not say anything in response.
When Xi Xiaye saw that, she could not help but feel her heart ache. She softly said, “Don’t be angry. I’m sorry…”
He then relaxed and his lowered voice was slightly raspy as he replied, “Don’t say that…I know what you mean. We were once brothers, and he wasn’t all that bad. When I was 15, I went to the factory with Grandfather for an inspection and was accidentally locked in the cold storage. If it weren’t for Lingtian going around to look for me and opening the door to the storage in time, you might not have met me today. Lingtian didn’t realize this, but I couldn’t forget it. No matter what, I owe him. He’s not inherently bad. He was just like Aunt: a very easygoing person. I didn’t want to believe that he would become someone like that, even if the truth is hard for me to accept.”
Mu Yuchen rarely spoke about these things with Xi Xiaye. Now, as she listened to him, she only felt waves of pain for him, the indescribable kind that was hard to swallow, a stifled emotion that could even be felt as if something was rising from the back of her throat.
“Mr. Mu, but don’t you forget also that sometimes, in love or in other relations.h.i.+ps, it’s the same. It can change many things, just like you and me. As long as it’s you, I’ll do anything! Because I’m just a woman…” Xi Xiaye said while her starry eyes contained deep, moving sentiments.
She loved him deeply to the bones. What would she not do for him?
Xi Xiaye thought that perhaps Mu Lingtian could have felt the same way. Actually, it might not have been for the so-called riches, but for Gu Lingsha.
She suddenly seemed to realize something. Whatever it was, Mu Lingtian did have an awkward existence in the Mu family. Even if the Mu family did not think so, that did not mean that other people did not feel that way. Compared to the inherently honorable and elegant Mu Yuchen and the exceptional Qi Feng, Mu Lingtian was…
From this perspective, his desire for Glory World seemed so much stronger than Mu Yuchen’s.
Perhaps he was just a man.
When Xi Xiaye expressed her thoughts, Mu Yuchen was stunned. He subconsciously parked the car by the roadside and abruptly turned to look at her. Upon seeing her eyes contain sincere feelings, his heart softened and he reached out to pull her into his arm as he chuckled and said, “Do you think everyone’s like you, that they’d do anything for your man?”
She struggled a little and looked up from his arms. Her gaze locked onto his unfathomable eyes as she asked softly, “Isn’t that so? Won’t you also do anything for me?”
He paused but did not answer her. His fingers combed her beautiful long hair as he always did, and then he pulled her towards his chest. It was only that way that he could let him feel that he had her, in a more real sense.
“You’re more important than I am, Xiaye,” he said, then held her hand before lowering his head to kiss the back of it…
At the string of these words, Xi Xiaye seemed to get all teary-eyed. Without a care for the world, she struggled away from him and then her cold hands held his head while her soft, pink lips kissed his thin lips.
Her kiss became a little more eager as she recklessly invaded his s.p.a.ce, and in the lingering moments, they chased romance. He gladly accepted her adorning him with her gentle charm and was happy to play along.
After a while, the car suddenly got all heated up. She panted and pulled herself away from his seduction. Her charming eyes were silky as she looked at him sultrily. Then, quietly and softly, she said into his ear, “Mr. Mu, how about we pretend to be young for once and do it in the car—”
“Nonsense!”
Before she could finish, he had already stopped her lips with his hand. He did not look his usual self while his gaze was locked on her exquisite collarbone. With a lot of effort, he held back the surge of waves in his heart and quickly helped her fix her clothes.
“That’s not a game you can afford to play. We can’t even be free at home, yet you want to do it outside, but the person who’ll suffer is me!” he reprimanded softly. He knew her too well, thus he could not be taken advantage of.
She looked at his furrowed brows before shrugging and saying innocently, “I think you’re a feast for the eyes. I can’t quite control myself, especially with the way you looked at me earlier. You clearly look like a wolf that’s seen a sheep, yet you want to pretend to be all dignified.”
“You’ve gotten quite bold now to be teasing me, hmm?” Mu Yuchen glared at her. “You’re becoming more and more reckless.”
The lights in the car were turned on, so she could clearly see him blus.h.i.+ng. Xi Xiaye laughed even louder. He was already the father of two sons, but this man seemed to get shy quite easily sometimes.
She pursed her lips and smiled. While looking at that face of his from the side, she cleared her throat and hummed softly, “The shy little rose slowly blooms, slowly burning into feelings that he won’t admit…”
She hummed softly as she shot him looks from time to time. His handsome face was a burning red that seemed out of control…
“Xi Xiaye, this is the last straw. Otherwise, you’ll suffer tonight!” he finally could not help but say through gritted teeth and give her a look.
“Does me happily singing a song bother you now?” When she saw his reaction, not only did Xi Xiaye not stop, but she hummed louder instead.
“Change the song!”
Xi Xiaye chuckled happily and accepted his suggestion. She changed the song. “I kissed you deeply, yet could not stop your tears…”
“Alright, if you want to provoke me now, just you wait. If I don’t settle you, then I’m not your man!” Mr. Mu said this last sentence through gritted teeth, and when he finished, he floored the accelerator and sped up.
When Xi Xiaye saw that, she laughed inside.
Good! As long as he was more cheerful, she was willing to put in the effort. All her so-called dignified reputation was no longer important…
