Chapter 142 - A Far-Fetched Excuse (1/2)

On Sunday morning, when Yun Xi was out running, she saw a figure leaning against a car in the distance before she’d even gotten to a sentry post.

From his posture, it was obvious that he had been waiting for her.

As soon as she got close, Mu Feichi opened his car door and said, “Get in!”

“Where are we going?” Yun Xi looked at Mu Feichi in bewilderment.

“I’m taking you to the Chen family’s house.”

“This early?” Yun Xi thought about it for a while, then frowned slightly.

“At this time, the old Madame probably hasn’t even gotten up yet. Young Marshal Mu, if you have something to do now, you should take care of you first. You don’t have to specifically come pick me up. The eldest son will come and pick me up later.”

At the mention of Chen Yichen, Mu Feichi’s face suddenly sank.

“You want him to come and pick you up so desperately? But you are unwilling to let me take you?”

“Huh?” Yun Xi was caught off guard and only then realized that he seemed to be angry, so she quickly shook her head.

“It’s not that I’m unwilling. It’s just that you are busy with business affairs, and I always trouble you. I’m really embarra.s.sed about bothering you.”

The things that other women dreamed of, when it came to her, she would first weigh the gains and losses.

She’d been so stupid in her previous life that she had been swindled over and over again because she didn’t know how to protect herself.

In this life, after such profound previous experiences, how could she not be calculating?

Mu Feichi’s somber eyes fell on the serious matter-of-fact expression on her face.

Although she appeared innocent and childish, she was p.r.i.c.kly toward everyone.

It was wise to know how to protect herself, but he didn’t want her to stray too far away from him.

“In terms of whether or not I am busy, I will have the final say. Go early and return early. Have you forgotten your training results from yesterday?”

Thinking of Li Zilan’s sour face when her training had ended yesterday, Yun Xi couldn’t help but suck in her breath.

She knew that her achievements had made Li Zilan, the devil, very dissatisfied.

It had taken her an entire afternoon to learn how to break free from the tied rope and how to tie the knot, but it was still only limited to being able to save herself, and it did not reach that devil’s standards.

Therefore, Li Zilan had been very displeased.

To become stronger, she must spend more time and energy on it.

“I understand. I will go home and change my clothes.”

“No, just head over like this.”

“…But I haven’t eaten breakfast yet!”
