Chapter 66 (1/2)
In her previous life, Yun Xi had never been to this gorgeous mansion. She had only heard all the various legends about Mu Feichi on TV and in the news.
His special status as the controller of the Mu family, one of the three most distinguished families, not only gave him a high standing in Jingdu, but also made sure that people revered him no matter what ruthless deeds he had done.
In her previous life, she had experienced his power. Now, in this life, she was going to experience his wealth.
This was a man who lived a legendary life, and she never imagined that she would be able to have anything to do with him: It just happened.
“Let’s go, after finis.h.i.+ng breakfast, I’ll send you back.”
“May I go down the mountain now?”
Her goal today had been achieved anyway. No matter whether she won or lost on the mountain, Young Marshal Mu had the final say. She really didn’t care much about that particular goal anyway.
The reason she’d agreed to come up the mountain with him was that she didn’t want him to go to the Yun family’s home. Because, if that happened, she really would merely become a p.a.w.n of the Yun family.
Mu Feichi’s bold brows frowned slightly and he scoffed, “If you want to go down the mountain now, you’ll have to go down on your own. I’m hungry and I want to eat. I don’t have the time to take you now.”
“…” Yun Xi silently glanced at his figure walking toward the mansion, grit her teeth, and took a deep breath before following him.
Since the high and mighty Young Marshal Mu was willing to play dirty to this extent, if she really did try to leave, he would probably break her leg!
The butler was already waiting at the entrance of the mansion, and, although he had already seen her on the monitor, upon seeing Young Marshal Mu leading this little girl in person, he was still surprised by the youthfulness of her face.
One can’t underestimate the fighting capacity of someone who can bypa.s.s five sentry posts in a 1-against-40 situation.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that he’d heard that she came from the countryside, he certainly wouldn’t have believed that a country b.u.mpkin girl could have such stamina.
No wonder Marshal Mu, who’d never been interested in women before, was so interested in her.
As she pa.s.sed through the huge courtyard, Yun Xi looked all around. The yard was planted with mult.i.tudes of flowers. On the left-hand side was a magnificent rockery, and on the right-hand side was a ma.s.sive flower garden that was extremely vibrant.
On the approach to the mansion, there was a courtyard, in the middle of which there was a small bridge with flowing water in a winding brook with several kinds of colorful little fish swimming in it.
The rounded pebbles and the retro blue tiles complemented each other, and coupled with all the modern transparent gla.s.s embellishments, the simple yet complex style revealed the extraordinary taste of the owner in every corner of the establishment.
