Chapter 739: Chapter 738: I Just Love People Who Are Full of Arrogance, It’s Satisfying to Break Them
Mu Bei looked at the person speaking before him, feeling sowhat helpless. He thought having to endure being the third wheel was cruel enough, but now his life was at risk too… He truly had unspeakable troubles.
“Master Xi…” Mu Bei called out to Mu Chengxi, hoping to change his decision.
“What is it?” Mu Chengxi, upon hearing Mu Bei’s pitiful voice, slowly turned his head to look at him, his voice sowhat deep as he asked, “Are you dissatisfied with my arrangent? Or do you feel wronged having to take care of Wen Xin?”
“No, not at all… How could that be? Master Xi, I… my skills are not very good, and if sothing happens… I’m worried I won’t be able to protect Miss Wen…”
Mu Bei had always felt his skills were only slightly inferior compared to the others, but they were more than enough to deal with dangers outside. However, the greatest danger to Wen Xin now might just be Muxi, and if Muxi should lose control…
He didn’t dare to think about the consequences.
“Your Miss Wen does not need your protection, you just need to take care of her als and sleep!” After saying that, Mu Chengxi did not forget to poke hard at Mu Bei’s chest, “I’m not relying on you to protect her in the ti of danger.”
Mu Bei, looking at Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi, felt a deep sense of exclusion. Yet, even in such circumstances, he had no room to talk back. He could only bow his head and remain silent.
After drinking a sip of her milk tea, Wen Xin stood up, held the half cup that was left, and reached out her hand to Mu Chengxi. The two then left hand in hand in front of Mu Bei.
Mu Bei, watching the retreating figures of Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi, sighed mournfully and resignedly picked up two suitcases and left.
Mu Chengxi, holding Wen Xin’s hand, ca out from the airport and saw a familiar car. There was soone inside the car who appeared to be asleep.
Following behind Mu Chengxi, Mu Bei clearly saw Muxi inside the car, unconsciously let out a sigh, thinking Muxi really had been living too brashly in F State, seemingly forgetting who was the true authority.
Mu Chengxi, holding Wen Xin’s hand, walked to the car and gently knocked on the window. Muxi, startled awake, saw Mu Chengxi through the window, abruptly sat up, and then looked nervously at Mu Chengxi, hurriedly opened the door, and jumped out of the car.
“Master Xi…”
Muxi greeted Mu Chengxi respectfully, then unavoidably glanced at Wen Xin beside him, his eyes unwittingly flashing with amazent – he had heard that Wen Xin was beautiful, but had not realized she was this stunning.
However, he would not change his opinion about Wen Xin based on her looks; in his eyes, Wen Xin was still a useless woman.
He quickly shifted his gaze back to Mu Chengxi without any intention of greeting her.
Wen Xin, seeing Muxi’s dismissive attitude towards her, coldly chuckled, then pulled open the car door herself, a heavy sll of smoke hitting her face, making her unconsciously frown.
Looking at Wen Xin’s disgusted expression, Mu Chengxi walked up to her side, sniffed the strong sll of smoke in the car, and turned his head to look at Muxi.
“Is this the welco gift you’re giving us?”
Muxi could see Mu Chengxi’s irritation, he stepped back, bowed respectfully, and spoke to Mu Chengxi, “Previously, Master Xi was also sitting in the car smoking with us, I never knew there was a rule against smoking in the car set by Master Xi. I will pay attention next ti!”
Although Muxi’s tone carried a hint of humility, one could still detect his dignity, which Wen Xin found increasingly interesting. She liked such people, the more pride they possessed, the more intriguing they were to her.
Wen Xin didn’t pay any mind to Muxi, feeling that the sll of smoke in the car had almost dissipated, she bent down and got into the car.
Seeing Wen Xin’s action, Muxi, with his head lowered, flashed a look of bewildernt. He had thought Wen Xin would let Mu Chengxi punish him in a fit of delicate annoyance, or demand a change of vehicle, but her silent deanor left Muxi unsure of how to react.
Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin get into the car and start playing gas on her phone; he did not speak further, bent down, got into the car, and said not a word.
Mu Bei, with two suitcases, passed by the solemn Muxi without any pause, went straight to the trunk, placed both Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi’s luggage inside, circled around, walked to the driver’s seat, opened the door, and got in.
Standing still, Muxi watched the other three get into the car, the anticipated events not occurring, and he stood there sowhat at a loss.
“Xi, get in the car!” Mu Bei lowered the passenger side window and yelled at Muxi, who was standing outside in a daze, reminding him to get in the car.
Muxi got into the car at Mu Bei’s urging, and once inside, he unconsciously looked in the rearview mirror to see what the two people sitting in the back were doing.
When Muxi saw the two sitting close together in the back seat, discussing in low voices as they walked, he suddenly felt everything he had done was sowhat childish, as nobody really paid him any mind. It was quite humorous really.
Mu Bei drove back to the mansion, where the house was brightly lit. Mu Bei led the others in waiting for the arrival of Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi.
As Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi got out of the car, Mu Dong quickly approached them and respectfully opened with Wen Xin first.
“Welco Miss Wen, you must be tired from the journey. Dinner is ready, please join Master Xi in the dining room.”
“No need, we’ve already eaten at the airport. We reek of cigarette smoke, we’ll go upstairs to clean up first. You all go ahead and eat, then wait for in the Council Hall.”
Mu Chengxi walked to Wen Xin’s side, naturally put his arm around her waist, and escorted her straight upstairs.
As the figures of Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi disappeared at the staircase, Mu Dong walked to Mu Bei’s side and helped him unload Wen Xin’s and Mu Chengxi’s luggage from the car, deliberately lowering his voice to admonish Mu Bei.
“You’ve been with Miss Wen and Master Xi the longest; you know Master Xi does not want Miss Wen exposed to secondhand smoke. How could you make such a foolish mistake!”
Mu Bei, reprimanded by Mu Dong, helplessly glanced at Muxi and sighed softly, “It was all Muxi. I had already warned him not to smoke in the car, but he did it purposely. It upset Master Xi a bit, but thankfully he didn’t take it too seriously, otherwise…”
“I shudder to think of the consequences!”
After explaining, Mu Dong also sighed helplessly. They were all aware of Muxi’s attitude towards Wen Xin, but it was indescribable, and they felt powerless…
