Chapter 421: Romance Was Their Minefield
The farce ended with a show of Mu Feichi’s overbearing and unreasonable protectiveness.
Mu Feichi had rushed over after receiving the news that she was being attacked. Now, leaving Feng Rui to deal with the aftermath, he pulled her into the elevator.
Yun Xi couldn’t help but marvel at how he had immediately rushed over to protect her, without being worried about neglecting his distinguished guest.
No one had stood up for her for so many years. The feeling of being protected was so strange yet so warm.
After they had gone upstairs to his suite, Mu Feichi asked Yun Xi to wait in the living room outside their meeting. He still had some business to discuss.
Yun Xi waited quietly. She sat on the sofa and looked out the window.
After being pushed off a balcony by Han Yaotian in her last life, she had developed a phobia about tall buildings.
It was better at night. With the darkness illuminated by many different lights, she was less afraid of being unable to see her surroundings.
While Mu Feichi was discussing business matters, she thought about the situation and details of the operation she had to perform the next day.
The operation had been delayed for two days because of the patient’s condition. When the patient’s family found out that a young girl was going to perform the operation, they’d refused to agree to it.
Yun Xi didn’t know how Dr. Carl had convinced them, but the family had finally agreed to the operation.
This was the first operation she had performed since her rebirth. She didn’t dare to be careless. During the past few days, she had been repeatedly confirming every detail of the operation by watching videos that the hospital had sent over.
If she didn’t successfully complete this operation, not only wouldn’t she be able to gain favor with the head of the Si family, but also any accident would directly affect her future medical career.
By the time Mu Feichi came out of the suite, he saw her lying asleep on the sofa.
He turned his head and told Qi Yuan to go and get the car as he walked forward quietly.
He sat down on the coffee table and silently watched the figure sleeping while clutching a pillow from the sofa.
Standing at the elevator, Qi Yuan turned his head and stared at the figure in the living room. From his angle, he could see the peaceful expression on Young Marshal Mu’s face.
His calm eyes were so soft and tender that even the soft light beside the couch seemed pale by comparison.
For a moment, a beautiful phrase flashed through his mind: “The years are quiet and good with you, the years flow like water, and I will spend all my years with you through prosperity and old age.”
The Young Marshal Mu in front of him right now was different from the iron-fisted and resolute man he usually saw. Upon seeing him at this moment, it seemed as if his eyes could melt mountains.
People like him, who were cutthroat in business, sometimes met their matches in different ways.
Romance was their minefield. Once they stepped onto it, they could be stuck there forever.
Since the appearance of this little girl, Young Marshal Mu had made frequent exceptions for her and even asked Li Zilan to be her teacher. He had made an overnight trip to celebrate her birthday despite being injured, and had even granted her the position of the Mu family’s Madame.
After that, they had realized that their wise and shrewd leader was probably going to be wrapped around the fingers of this girl for life.
Qi Yuan watched as Mu Feichi leaned over and picked up the person on the sofa cautiously, for fear of disturbing her dreams.
His gentleness, his dominance, and his unreasonableness all seemed to belong to this woman.
As soon as they got into the car, Yun Xi was awakened by the sound of the car starting. She opened her eyes and looked around, then sat upright.
She rubbed her eyes, and her voice was still soft from just having woken up. “Huh? Have you finished talking?”
She glanced at the man sitting next to her. The car lights outside the window fell on his angular profile. For some inexplicable reason, she felt extremely secure.
“I’ve finished talking. Are you hungry? I’ll take you to eat.”
Yun Xi nodded. She was feeling very hungry, so she directly proposed, “Let’s go eat hot pot!”
Mu Feichi gave Qi Yuan an address. He then turned on the car lights, looked through the drawers to find disinfectant and Band-Aids, and took care of the wound on her neck.
