54: Chapter 54: Absolutely No Intentions of Taking Advantage 54: Chapter 54: Absolutely No Intentions of Taking Advantage Mu Yunlie couldn’t understand why Yan Qianyi would ask such a question.
Before he could answer, Yan Qianyi continued, “Mu Zicheng and his son were beaten so miserably by you today.
If this gets out, it will undoubtedly tarnish the Mu Family’s reputation.
He didn’t involve the police, surely because he didn’t want to escalate the matter, hence his politeness.”
Otherwise, she really couldn’t understand why Housekeeper Li was so amiable.
The grand families of high society always valued face and reputation the most.
A smirk tugged at the corners of Mu Yunlie’s lips, “You’re really smart.”
Yan Hong interjected from the side, “He’s truly cunning.
I was wondering why he didn’t seem angry at all; turns out he was just afraid of losing face.”
“It was just a show today; I think they definitely won’t let it go,” Yan Qianyi worriedly said.
“Having worked at the Mu Family for many years, Housekeeper Li is no simple character, he will certainly settle scores after the fact.
Ah Lie, stay with me these coming days, don’t go anywhere alone.”
“Stay with you?” Mu Yunlie asked, his eyes, glassy as gems, searching hers, “Can you protect me?”
“I…” Yan Qianyi suddenly faltered, “After all, there’s strength in numbers.”
“Oh my god, that scared me to death!” Han Yarong, who had been hiding, walked in clapping her chest with a look of lingering fear.
“Ah Lie, we owe you big time for just now, otherwise our Qianyi would have been bullied,” Han Yarong poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mu Yunlie, “You’ve worked hard, here, have a sip of tea.”
If it weren’t for Housekeeper Li being sensible, the mess he made today could have doomed our entire family!” Yan Hong now found Mu Yunlie even more disagreeable.
Mu Yunlie did not accept the cup of tea, his tone cold, “Don’t call me that, I’m not familiar with you.”
Han Yarong forced an awkward smile.
Suddenly, she trembled, spilling the tea all over Mu Yunlie’s pants.
“What are you doing!” Yan Qianyi hastily pushed Han Yarong away.
Han Yarong pouted, “Why are you so agitated, Qianyi?
It’s not like I did it on purpose.”
But it was intentional.
Han Yarong was still intent on checking if Mu Yunlie was a robot.
During the earlier fight, she had been terrified and hid upstairs, not seeing Mu Yunlie drink any water.
Hearing that Mu Yunlie fought fiercely, she became even more suspicious that Mu Yunlie might be a robot.
Ignoring Han Yarong, Yan Qianyi picked up a napkin from the table and started wiping the water off Mu Yunlie’s pants.
Han Yarong observed sneakily from the side.
Mu Yunlie’s pants were drenched, likely soaked through inside.
Yet, he showed no reaction.
Logically, robots are water-averse.
Han Yarong felt somewhat disappointed; it seemed he wasn’t a robot.
As Yan Qianyi meticulously wiped, Mu Yunlie suddenly grabbed her hand, “Don’t move.”
She looked up, saw his odd expression, then glanced at his soaked crotch, and suddenly realized she had been touching his sensitive area.
She quickly withdrew her hand.
By heaven and earth, she swore she had absolutely no intention of taking advantage.
“Let’s clear the air today,” Yan Hong said, “Mu Yunlie, seeing how eager you were to protect our Qianyi, you must truly want to be with her.
Here’s the deal: bring out eight hundred million as betrothal gift, and I won’t object to your relationship.”
Hearing this, Yan Qianyi’s brows knitted.
When she woke up, her father still pretended somewhat.
Now he wasn’t even pretending, just blatantly treating her as a mere commodity?
Just as she was about to speak, Mu Yunlie spoke first:
“The money, forget about it.”
“The person, I want her too.”
