Chapter 407-408

Chapter 407: Don’t Make It Sound as if I’m a Womanizer ... Just before 9:00 o’clock, Yun Xi heard the sound of knocking on the window just as she’d finished a series of tests. Turning her head to look at the man who’d climbed in through the window, she smiled. She’d known that if she didn’t go up the mountain, he would definitely come climbing through her window to visit. As she was about to stand up, Mu Feichi pushed her back into her chair. Kicking off his shoes and sitting on her bed, he made himself at home. A box was placed in front of her, and the air filled with a faint scent of cumin. “Eat! If you won’t come up the mountain, I have no choice but to bring food to you myself.” 　 　 Yun Xi glanced at the grilled lamb chops in the box on the table and guessed that he had probably brought her the best parts of the lamb. How hard it must have been for him to deliver lamb chops to her on such a cold day, even though climbing through the window seemed like fun to him. “Han Hongbin went looking for you. Have you met with him yet?” Yun Xi asked while eating the lamb chops. The lamb chops had been grilled just right, with a hint of cumin adding to their flavor. Compared to any lamb chops she’d ever eaten in restaurants, these were more delicious. “If you tell me not to, then I won’t see him. If I see him, the other families will follow suit as well. Why shouldn’t Tianyu Mountain basically become a flea market?” With indignation, he snorted softly and lay the document he’d brought over on her desk. “Look at this. When Qi Yuan gave this picture to you last time, I initially didn’t want you to intervene in this matter.” “What?” With her clean hand, Yun Xi opened the folder, which contained detailed information about a man. The man looked a little familiar, and, when she looked closely, she suddenly raised her head. “Isn’t this the man involved with Li Sinuo? Why do you have this?” “He isn’t any ordinary person. Otherwise, how did you think we had the pictures of Li Sinuo before you even came to Jingdu?” “No wonder I kept feeling that something was amiss. Turns out you already had your eye on him.” 　 　 Yun Xi carefully glanced at the information in the folder, then she frowned and raised her head. “I didn’t expect him to have such a special status.” “Of course! Otherwise, why would we have taken note of him?” “It’s really surprising that this man fancies Li Sinuo. Do you think men like this like calculating, yet innocent-looking, girls?” “Perhaps because he thinks she’s better-looking than women out in society.” Yun Xi couldn’t help but smile and look up at him with a teasing expression in her eyes. “How perceptive of you! Since you know all this so well, perhaps you yourself are very experienced?” Mu Feichi’s handsome face turned red, and he pinched her little cheeks with an irresistibly gentle expression in his eyes. “I don’t have that sort of fetish. Don’t make it sound as if I’m a womanizer.” “You guys from the Mu Corporation are together all day long. I’m surprised that your sexual orientation hasn’t changed.” “I am straight. If my sexual orientation were to change, only you could change it.” “...” Yun Xi coughed uneasily and pried his hands off her. She turned her head away. This topic was too awkward to talk about anymore. Li Sinuo was too calculating to date someone of her same age. Regardless of whether she had been forced to become so because of her living circumstances or whether she was simply ruthless by nature, such a person could easily fall, even if she managed to climb up the social ladder. “Then what do you plan to do with this man? Continue to lie low or use him to bait Crocodile?” “Crocodile has disappeared without a trace. We think he’s still in Jingdu, but because of the enormous area that the Mu family controls, it isn’t easy to search for his whereabouts. Even the gang that kidnapped Han Yaotian failed to force him out. So this person who’s dating Li Sinuo is now a key figure.” “Now I’m more curious than ever about how much Li Sinuo knows about this man. If this man is arrested, Li Sinuo will definitely be taken in for questioning and probably wouldn’t be able to take the college entrance exam.” “I guess she doesn’t know who exactly he is. With her ruthless personality, however, I’m sure she’s not unaware of the consequences of getting involved with this man. There is bad blood between you two, so be careful when you see her in the future.” “I know. I will be cautious.” *** Chapter 408: I Want Your Life, So Will You Give It Up? ... The news about Zhou Chengzhe officially challenging Yun Xi spread like wildfire. All the students in the senior grade year had heard about it. Before the preliminary round of the biology competition had even started, some people had begun to form teams to watch the competition. Zhou Chengzhe had spent so much time unabashedly boasting that naturally, he wouldn’t risk losing. It wasn’t that he was intimidated by Yun Xi and Zhao Yumo, but rather the academic stars of other high schools. His goal was to crush Yun Xi and win the championship for the school’s glory. Yun Xi heard from Yang Lu that all Zhou Chengzhe does is spend time in the library pulling all-nighters. He spends all his time alone and appears confident in his victory. 　 　 Yun Xi didn’t care about what Zhou Chengzhe was doing despite the fact that she had also signed up for the biology competition. Whoever won the championship in this competition would get a full scholarship to study abroad, so Zhou Chengzhe was desperate to win this championship. Yun Xi wasn’t very interested in studying abroad, but if she won the title, Zhou Chengzhe would definitely resent her for ruining his chance to study abroad. Therefore, this would be the perfect opportunity for him to get a reality check. Right when school ended, Yun Xi eyed Li Sinuo, who was hurrying out of the classroom while carrying her textbooks. Originally, she wanted to get to the bottom of whether or not Li Sinuo was behind the rumors, but since Zhou Chengzhe himself personally came to challenge her, there was no point in doing so anymore. All their classmates’ attention was on the competition! It was more entertaining to watch them compete during the competition rather than focus on rumors based on hearsay. The results would serve as evidence anyway. Winning would be tantamount to shaming the opponent. ———— After leaving the classroom, Yun Xi was stopped by two bodyguards as soon as she left the school gate. Although they stopped her, instead of being overbearing, they politely asked her to get into the black car on the side of the road. “Miss Yun, our young master wants to see you.” Yun Xi glanced at them. At this time, there would be no one else besides Han Yaotian coming to see her with such a formation. After she got kidnapped because of him, he still had the audacity to come looking for her! 　 　 Following the bodyguards, Yun Xi coldly looked at the figure sitting in the car and stood sideways on the right side of the car door. “Mr. Han, I didn’t expect you to have the audacity to come to see me. Are you unwilling to give up because I didn’t get killed because of you?” “Miss Yun, you misunderstood!” As soon as Yun Xi said this, Han Yaotian felt so guilty that he had the urge to push open the door and get out of the car. But his safety couldn’t be guaranteed. He didn’t have the guts to get out, so he could only look out through the window. “I’m here to apologize to you today! I’m really sorry I dragged you into this! I didn’t expect anything like that to happen, I’m really sorry! If you want, please give me the chance to make it up to you!” Young Marshal Mu wouldn’t see any of them, and his father didn’t get the chance to see him even after he personally went, so the Han family was panicking now. If he wanted to inherit the Han family, he had to do something for the Han family to gain the support of those old guys to let him sit on the board of directors! So at this juncture, he had no choice but to risk coming out to resolve the tension with her. After all, she was Young Marshal Mu’s lifesaver, so it wouldn’t be difficult for her to see him. If he could see Young Marshal Mu through her, it would be much better than his dad waiting at the sentry post every day! “Make it up?” Yun Xi couldn’t help but sneer. Her eyes were filled with coldness. “I almost lost my life. What do you think you can make it up to me with?” 　 　 “As long as you bring it up, I will do anything in my power to grant your wish!” Yun Xi mockingly eyed his hypocritical mannerism and snorted softly. She wanted to say: I want your life, so will you give it up?! A selfish and ungrateful person like him only cared about personal benefits. Who couldn’t talk big? After being reborn, how could she not tell what his ulterior motives for looking for her today were? Since they couldn’t get through to Mu Feichi, the Han family was like ants in a hot pot. If he wanted to see Young Marshal Mu, he could only come to her to try his luck! Otherwise, with his personality, how could he waste time on a high school student?
