Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten (Book 1)

461-465

Yun Xi looked at Li Zilan, who was swift and aloof. She couldn't help but admire her swiftness and precision in the dark.

Mu Feichi glanced at Yun Xi, then arrogantly put her back in his arms, and lowered his head to bite her ear.

"Babe, I can react faster and with more precision than she can. If you don't believe me, you will see for yourself another day."

Upon suddenly grasping the teasing, flirtatious insinuations of his words, Yun Xi blushed.

How could that fool still be in the mood to tease her and flirt with her in this sort of situation?

Gritting her teeth, she jammed her elbow into his chest, snorted, and turned around to go get in the car.

Li Zilan glanced at the two of them and chuckled lightly as she joked, "Young Marshal Mu, life is short, so you better hurry up and enjoy your date. I'll take care of the things here."

"Please find out what went on and send the report to the Mu Mansion tomorrow morning."

"Got it." Li Zilan nodded and watched him disappear into the night. When she turned her head, her haughty face had resumed its usual impassiveness.

On the way back, Yun Xi curled up in the passenger seat and relaxed slightly.

She didn't dare think too deeply about what had happened just now.

Third Young Master Chen had gone out with his bodyguards, and there had been a premeditated car accident, in which he had gotten injured.

Upon facing such a nerve-racking scene, she hadn't felt as panicked and anxious as she had when she had been kidnapped last time.

Her being able to cooperate with Mu Feichi so calmly was unexpected and even a little surprising.

Finally, she felt that she no longer was dragging him down and could finally use her capabilities, although still small, to help him, even though she'd gotten badly spanked in the end.

But if the same thing happened again, she would make the same choice.

On their way back, the two of them didn't speak the entire way, and the atmosphere in the car was a bit awkward.

Mu Feichi didn't take Yun Xi back to the villa complex but instead drove the car directly to the Mu Mansion.

The butler was waiting at the door anxiously after receiving the news, and he was very relieved when he saw that they had come back safely.

"Master, Miss Yun, are you two all right?"

As the butler approached them, Great White also rushed over and patted Yun Xi's feet with his big paws.

Yun Xi knelt down and hugged Great White. While holding the big, furry, warm creature, she finally managed to calm her nerves.

Mu Feichi stretched out his hand to grab Yun Xi, and under the light by the front door, he could see clearly that the back of her hand was marked with bloodstains.

After asking the butler to prepare some supper for them, he took Yun Xi to sit on the sofa, took out the medicine box, and started disinfecting her wounds.

Although they weren't large wounds, it was jarring for him to see her beautiful hands cut up.

Mu Feichi sat down on the carpet, looked up at her, and asked coldly, "Does it hurt?"

"No, it doesn't hurt." Yun Xi glared back at him fiercely without blushing.

She didn't regret what had happened today, so whether it hurt or not, it didn't matter. What mattered was that he was safe.
