Luo Chenxi became stunned for a while, then widened her eyes in surprise. “You… Aren’t you overthinking it? I’m just… Um, I’m just trying to express my gratitude to you, that’s all.”
Mu Yichen frowned ever so slightly. “Is that so? Isn’t it because you finally realize how powerful being the Young Madam of the Mu Family can be? So you are trying to seize me tightly and deliberately give me this thing to declare your sovereignty?”
Luo Chenxi got startled as she looked up to the man. With her eyes locked with his, her heart trembled briefly as she noticed the displeasure hidden under his cold dark eyes.
Mu Yichen had always hated her for living as Mrs. Mu.
It was indeed inappropriate for her to give him such a gift.
She hurriedly explained, “No, no, no, I definitely didn’t think of it like that! I’m aware that we are only husband and wife in name, I truly had no intention to bind you to my side, don’t worry! If you think this is inappropriate, then I won’t give it to you…”
Mu Yichen’s face became darker as he heard the woman’s desperate explanation.
Did she really want to draw a line between them so badly?
Luo Chenxi’s voice became smaller and smaller as she explained, then she eventually became completely quiet.
Mu Yichen remained doubtful of her even after hearing her sincere apology. She did not know what else she could have done.
“You changed your mind all of a sudden after telling me you were giving me a present. Are you messing with me?” Mu Yichen muttered suddenly.
Luo Chenxi turned her head in surprise. “Huh? What? But, didn’t you say that it was inappropriate for me to give you a tie?”
“When did I say that? You were the one who wanted to give it to me, yet you showed no sincerity at all for going back on your words.” Mu Yichen’s tone was cold.
Luo Chenxi blankly blinked her eyes. “But, you were obviously looking down on me. You even said that I gave you a gift just because I wanted to declare my sovereignty.”
Mu Yichen got so angry that he gritted his teeth.
‘This d*mn woman is as dumb a person can get!’
“Anyway, don’t think you can just mess around with me. Since you said you wanted to give me a tie, you’re not allowed to go back on your words.” Mu Yichen looked down at her with a cold face.
Luo Chenxi pursed her lips and said with a defeated tone. “Alright, but remember what you said, alright? Don’t blame it on me again later and accuse me of declaring sovereignty!”
As soon as she said that, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Mu Yichen gave off a vibe so cold that it could very well freeze the entire backseat.
Luo Chenxi shrank her neck and could not help but move away from Mu Yichen.
‘Could this guy really be having his man-period?’
She had been going along with him the entire time, so she really had no idea what he was still angry about!
When Mu Yichen saw her back away, his gaze turned cold as he prepared to tug her back to his side. Just then, the car stopped.
“Young Master, Young Madam, we’re home.”
Mu Yichen briefly paused, coldy glanced at the woman, then turned around and got out of the car.
Luo Chenxi quickly got out of the car and trotted to catch up with him.
As they approached the villa entrance, a woman’s laughter could be heard from inside.
Mu Yichen furrowed his brows. “A guest?”
The butler bowed and explained, “It’s Miss Bai, she’s here.”
…
In the living room on the first floor—
Mu Weiwei was sitting beside Bai Xinxin. She was ranting into the latter’s ears.
“Sister Xinxin, you’re finally free to come over and visit us! Do you even know how arrogant that b*tch, Luo Chenxin is? Big brother even stood on her side! Who knows what kind of bewitching potion did she make him drink? It really pisses me off!”
A trace of jealousy flashed across Bai Xinxin’s eyes, but her face remained calm.
“She’s now your sister-in-law, it’s perfectly normal for your big brother to stand on her side.”
“Sister Xinxin, how can you say that?” Mu Weiwei widened her eyes in disbelief. “What right does that b*tch have to be my sister-in-law? Which part of her is worthy of my brother? If you ask me, I think only someone coming from a strong family background like you is worthy of him.”
Bai Xinxin seemed to be frightened and quickly tugged Mu Weiwei.
“Weiwei, stop saying such things. Your big brother is already married!”
“So what if he is? Sister Xinxin, it’s not like you are unaware. If it weren’t for our dotard grandma, there was no way that b*tch could’ve set foot into the Mu Family! Big brother is only temporarily bewitched by her beauty. He’s going to kick her out sooner or later.”
