Chapter 319-320

Chapter 319: She’s as Important as the Country ... 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 cocked, 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-assured 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 competition of the world of money and power. Fortunately, he had always remained low-key and had never shown 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. ***** Chapter 320: Is It So Troublesome to Admit That You Missed Me? ... Domineering and unreasonable, this was Mu Feichi’s style. If she had been any other woman, she probably would have already thrown herself at him. But Yun Xi was different. She had vengeance on her mind, and she had an outrageous family to live down, so she wasn’t suitable for the position as Mu Feichi’s wife. She wanted to become stronger by her own efforts, but who knew that she would fall into the trap dug by Mu Feichi? 　 　 “Is it so troublesome to admit that you missed me?” Yun Xi shook her head with a smile, and her piercing eyes gleamed mischievously. The man on the other end of the conversation found her teasing mannerisms utterly irresistible. It wasn’t troublesome to simply say that she missed him, but the repercussions as a result could be troublesome. “If you want to hear it, wait until you come back.” She never made decisions when she was feeling impulsive, especially about this kind of thing that wasn’t suitable for discussion at this time. “Okay, just you wait!” Mu Feichi didn’t force her. He would be more encouraged listening to her now. He would be more cautious in taking care of his business and deal with things more efficiently. After all, there was someone waiting for him to return. He didn’t realize that when they decided to change the topic, the group of people who’d been waiting for a good show all sighed in disappointment. They all started lamenting, and Yun Xi couldn’t help but gasp from her end. How did this guy have the audacity to flirt with her in front of so many of his subordinates? Where was his dignity as their boss? Where was his pride? Had he lost his mind? At this moment, she really felt like digging a hole and climbing into it. In terms of shamelessness, Mu Feichi took the cake. 　 　 “Shut up!” On his end of the video call, Mu Feichi shouted at the people around him, and the microphone suddenly became quiet. Yun Xi looked embarrassed, but fortunately, she hadn’t said anything stupid just now. “Wait for me to come back! You can ask Qi Yuan for help if you need anything.” “Got it!” She couldn’t wait to hang up as soon as possible. ... She didn’t know whether Gray Wolf had been waiting for the right time to come in or if it was just serendipitous, but right after Yun Xi and Mu Feichi had finished talking, Gray Wolf brought in a folder for her perusal. “These are the basic terms and basic procedures. You have a computer. You should try to learn all about this yourself, and come to me when you are familiar with it.” “Okay, I get it. Thank you.” ... Yun Xi read through the folder and got started. Her comprehension ability and memory skills surpassed Gray Wolf’s expectations. After two days of hanging out together, she found that Gray Wolf was actually quite immature. While she was familiarizing herself with the program, he spent all his time playing games on his computer. 　 　 She didn’t know whether it was because geniuses were aloof, but he barely talked to her during the two days. Seeing that she has good at comprehension, after saying a few words of praise, he implanted the virus in her computer and let her figure it out by herself. The room was awkwardly quiet, and Great White was lying on his side sleeping from boredom. His sleeping posture was terrible. She had never been exposed to anything like what he was teaching her. Everything was new and challenging. ... On Monday morning, Yun Xi was stopped by Jiang Henglin as soon as she arrived at the school gates. Seeing how furious he looked, she couldn’t help but frown and step back. As soon as he’d seen her, Jiang Henglin blurted out, “Wretched girl, don’t you have cram school on Saturday and Sunday? Why didn’t I see you here?” “Maybe I asked for a leave of absence. Was Second Young Master Jiang looking for me for something?” “You didn’t come to beg me about your dad, so you must have some self-respect.” Since she hadn’t come to see him, he’d asked her father about it and discovered that the matter had been resolved. But it was neither the Jiang family or the Chen family who had resolved the matter, but some mysterious boss who gave the order behind the scenes. He thought that the Yun family had had great luck, but it still made him angry. “I’ve always been very dignified, so I’m glad that you finally know it. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to class.” Yun Xi couldn’t help but sneer. It seemed as if he was holding a grudge about this. She was honored and happy about that.
