Chapter 160 - He Could Feel His Bones Going Limp
Seeing this, Luo Chenxi’s face darkened to the brim.
“Mu Yichen, what are you trying to do?”
Young Master Mu walked up to Bai Xinxin. They were now less than half a meter apart, so he only needed to bend down to pick Bai Xinxin up.
Hearing Luo Chenxi’s words, he stopped in his tracks.
He glanced at her face and snorted, “Is there a need for me to explain my actions to you?”
Bai Xinxin felt so pleased at the man’s reaction and nearly chuckled.
However, she managed to hold it in and continued to put on a pitiful expression.
“Yi… Yichen, please don’t fight with Miss Luo… for my sake. Even though she tripped me and made me sprain my foot, she’s still your wife. I… I can understand…”
As she said this, her body in turn leaned towards Mu Yichen in hopes that she could throw herself into his arms.
Bai Xinxin deliberately made her words ambiguous. At first glance, she seemed to sound like she was pleading for Luo Chenxi, but in fact, she was hinting at her intimate relationship with Mu Yichen.
‘That b*tch is going to get so pissed off when she hears what I just said that she’d rather die!’
Bai Xinxin was secretly pleased.
Suddenly, a force tugged Mu Yichen a couple of steps backward.
“Miss Bai, you’re absolutely correct. After all, I’m Mu Yichen’s wife, the Young Madam of the Mu Family, so it’s only normal for me to be concerned about my husband.”
“I don’t like it when he gets too close to other women, even more so when he hugs them. So, I feel relieved that you can understand,” said Luo Chenxi with her arms wrapped around Mu Yichen’s. She stood by his side and looked down on Bai Xinxin.
Bai Xinxin immediately choked.
She chose to put up a magnanimous front and told Luo Chenxi that she was being considerate.
However, she never expected Luo Chenxi to remain unshaken and turned Bai Xinxin’s own words against herself yet again.
Bai Xinxin almost could not maintain the frail expression on her face, so she quickly turned to Mu Yichen.
“Yichen, since Miss Luo has said so, then… I shall try walking on my own…”
Bai Xinxin completely thought that she could arouse Mu Yichen’s desire to protect her by playing hard to get. Her trick also included teary eyes as an icing to the cake.
However, it turned out that Mu Yichen did not even bother looking at her as his gaze had been fixed on Luo Chenxi.
At first, he wanted to shake Luo Chenxi off when she suddenly pounced on him.
That is because the man had long decided that he would teach her a lesson, so that she would realize that he did not have any obligation to choose her over other women. So, there was no need for Luo Chenxi to be pretentious.
However, Mu Yichen never expected Luo Chenxi to instantly publicly claim to be his wife and even mentioned that she was concerned about him, her husband!
Luo Chenxi’s soft voice that said these words sent the man into a momentary daze, one enough to make him forget about wanting to shake her off.
Luo Chenxi watched Mu Yichen stay silent with an expressionless face, so she reckoned that her honeytrap was not enticing enough and decided to step it up a notch.
She shook her arm that was wrapped around Mu Yichen’s. “Hubby, Miss Bai already said that she’s fine. Let’s just get the security to help her walk, so we can have our time together. Look, I’ve even made you lunch, they’re all your favourite dishes! Let’s go, hubby!”
Luo Chenxi had always had a pure and innocent looking face, while her voice sounded naturally soft and sweet, so the way she looked when she deliberately revealed a sweet and coquettish smile was simply irresistible.
First, she called him husband, then took it up a notch and called him her hubby. Mu Yichen could feel his bones going limp.
Even though he kept trying to convince himself deep down to not get fooled by this gold-digger again, he could not move his gaze away from Luo Chenxi’s charming, little face.
“Zhuo Feng, get two men here, have them help Bai Xinxin head downstairs and send her home.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Chenxi realized that the elevator door just opened, the next thing she saw was Zhuo Feng walking out of it.
“Huh? Yes… Yes, chairman!” Zhuo Feng went off as soon as he obeyed Mu Yichen’s orders.
Bai Xinxin’s face was extremely pale. She could not believe that Luo Chenxi had managed to coax Mu Yichen with merely a few words and put out his fury that burned so fiercely just a minute ago.
Soon after, Luo Chenxi dragged Mu Yichen back to the chairman’s office.
As soon as they entered the door, Luo Chenxi released her hold on the man’s arm.
Mu Yichen felt a little displeased as the familiar fragrance abruptly left his side.
He sat down on the couch with a cold expression and looked at the woman standing at the door from the corner of his eyes.
“Who gave you permission to come to the Mu Group? How dare you call yourself my wife? Do you think that I will forgive you just because you made me a few dishes of food?”
‘It took her long enough to finally figure out to come to the office to apologize to me.
‘Don’t think that I’m going to let you off that easily.’
Meanwhile, Luo Chenxi, who had been acting coquettishly in the man’s arms just a moment ago, seemed to have turned into someone else entirely. Her sweet smile completely vanished and all that took its place was a sneer.
“Young Master Mu, you seem to have been mistaken. I didn’t come to the company to see you. This lunch box isn’t for you either.”
Mu Yichen’s face instantly froze.
