Chapter 428 - The Favored Are Fearless (1/2)

After getting in the car, Yun Xi glanced at the gloomy man sitting beside her.

After disciplining Si Wenxuan, his mood hadn’t changed yet. He appeared more sullen than usual, but also more like a mature man.

It was the first time she’d ever seen someone dare to rebuke anyone of the stature of the patriarch of the Si family. Mu Feichi was truly brazen and c.o.c.ky.

As the saying goes, the favored are fearless.

Since he didn’t say anything, Yun Xi poked him and asked curiously, “Young Marshal Mu, why do you hate Si Wenxuan so much? She is the heiress of the Si family, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that she likes you.”

Mu Feichi turned his head and glanced at her with disdain on his handsome face. “Anyone with a discerning eye can also see that I don’t like her.”

“Don’t get riled up. I didn’t mean anything by it.”

Yun Xi was just being nosy. She had to admit that Si Wenxuan was really unlikable.

However, because of her status, a lot of men kissed up to her and treated her like she was a princess. Mu Feichi, however, didn’t give her the time of day.

He didn’t have to kiss up to her and flatter her, since his status was n.o.bler than hers anyway.

But even though this remark of his might have been just an offhand comment, it piqued her interest.

Mu Feichi turned his head in amus.e.m.e.nt and eyed her nonchalantly. There was a faint gleam in his eyes.

“Babe, are you interrogating me because you’re curious, or are you simply being jealous?”

Yun Xi was taken aback. She quickly realized what he was insinuating and her ears reddened.

“I meant nothing by it. Don’t let your imagination run wild.”

“Really?” He leaned over her. “How come I smell vinegar?”

“…” She felt a heavy weight on her shoulders as he rested his chin there.

Then his scorching breath hit her neck, and she trembled.

“Vinegar is good for you, so please, babe, eat it often.”

His deep voice lingered in her ears. It sounded both coaxing and coquettish.

“…” With a helpless expression on her face, Yun Xi raised her hand and pushed his face away.
