Unable to resist the two girls’ sugar-coated coaxings, Mu Feichi could only bite the bullet and accompany them.
No matter how unwilling he was, he couldn’t resist if his little woman liked sothing.
After they’d finished eating, Mu Feichi called Jiang Chenghuan to co pick up Zhao Yumo and take her ho. When they’d left, he took Yun Xi for a walk on the riverbank.
Looking at the night scene on the other side of the river, they could see lots of lights burning in all the buildings.
Every ho had a lamp, but it was extrely sad that no one ever lit a lamp for her in her house.
After having returned to Jingdu for more than three months now, she’d gradually gotten closer and closer to her goals. Not only had she separated her parents, but her mother had also been driven out of the Yun family.
However, this was just the beginning.
With all that she had suffered, if everything was returned to her mother, it wouldn’t be gratifying enough.
As she was staring dreamily at all the lights on the other side of the river, her neck suddenly got warr as a man’s refreshingly mint-scented scarf was wrapped around her neck.
She could also feel the warmth of his body as he pressed her head against him while wrapping the scarf around her neck. This gesture also ward her heart.
Yun Xi turned her head to look at him, but her eyes still seed distant, as she was wrapped in her dreams.
Unexpectedly making contact with Mu Feichi’s deep eyes, she moved back toward the railing as a natural reflex, but the perceptive man caught hold of her.
Her forehead banged into his chest. This domineering man held her with one hand and unbuttoned his coat with the other, as he wrapped her directly in his arms.
Yun Xi looked up from his arms, then looked down at herself wrapped in his coat like a cocoon. Her entire body savored the warmth of his body.
Such a big human body heater couldn’t be beat.
She lowered her head and couldn’t help laughing. “Young Marshal Mu, are you afraid that I’ll freeze to death?”
By wrapping her up in this way, she could feel his body heat through her down jacket.
It was warm and sultry.
“Yeah! You are such a little softie, and if it snows more heavily, I’d have to worry about you getting buried in the snow.”
“I’m a human being, not an ostrich. I will definitely run ho when it snows. I’m not so stupid as to stay outside waiting for the snow to bury .”
Mu Feichi smiled dotingly, then lowered his head slightly, and put his head on top of hers. He narrowed his eyes helplessly.
“Aha! You aren’t clever when you should be clever, and you aren’t stupid when you should act stupid.”
“Ignorance is bliss, what would a man like you know?”
“Why are you playing dumb? You’re already quite silly, so babe, you don’t need to play dumb.”
“You’re the one who’s silly. Your entire family is silly.”
“Wait until I abduct you into my family, and we’ll see if you have the guts to say that anymore.”
“...”
Later, when Yun Xi saw the frad words, “Ignorance is bliss”, in Mu Feichi’s study, she realized that for this young, mature, talented, and resourceful man, being blissfully ignorant wasn’t an easy task.
They could all play dumb, but being blissfully ignorant was a luxury for him.
This iron-blooded man could beco soft and gentle for a woman or beco the sharpest weapon to bear the weight of his country on his shoulders.
But it seed that no one had ever asked him what his dreams were.
She was also a little curious. After all, he’d followed his father onto the battlefield when he was very young. He must have had passions and dreams when he was young, right?
“Young Marshal Mu, do you have dreams?”
Yun Xi raised her head and asked him this question. Her dark eyes sparkled like bright stars. They were as dazzling as the night.
“I have a lot of dreams, so which one do you an, babe?”
“Your first dream.”
“...” At the ntion of this, the light in Mu Feichi’s eyes gradually faded, and he raised his eyes to look at the lights in the distance.
Yun Xi unexpectedly saw a flash of despondence and loneliness in his eyes and suddenly realized that she seed to have asked a question that shouldn’t have been asked.
She had never seen him like this before. His sharp, cold eyes were always full of calm and wisdom.
Even if he was occasionally overbearing and unreasonable, there was always arrogance in his eyes.
His pitifully lonely expression unexpectedly made her heart ache a little.
