Chapter 271: Pleas for Forgiveness
After getting in the car, Yun Xi turned to look at the man in the driver’s seat. Suddenly, she leaned over and hugged him.
Getting a whiff of her fragrant scent, Mu Feichi stared at the girl who had just hugged him out of the blue. His handsome face looked dumbfounded and tense.
He pushed her back into her seat.
“You’re acting like Great White. Whenever he does something wrong and gets into trouble, he responds by acting like a baby and begging for mercy.”
Every time Great White killed one of his fish from the pond, which were worth thousands of yuan, he always showed up in front of Mu Feichi, begging for forgiveness.
It always made Mu Feichi fell angry and helpless.
If he got angry, that rascal Great White would rub his head against him endearingly and roll around on the ground pleading forgiveness.
If the truth were told, when his little rascal had just moved toward him and given him a hug, his heart had already grown soft.
“…” Yun Xi stared at him in surprise. She didn’t know what was going on.
Mu Feichi sighed, but then he decided to suffer in silence because he didn’t want to vent any anger on her.
Yun Xi shook her head and gazed at him with a smile. Her clear eyes reflected the light outside and looked like bright stars.
“I was just getting close to you to see if you were drunk. You know you shouldn’t drive when you’re drunk. Safety first!”
“I didn’t drink at all.” Mu Feichi took a deep breath, and his voice sounded a little hoarse.
Mesmerized by her eyes, he could really no longer feel any anger now.
He leaned over and pushed her back into her seat, buckled her seat belt, and started the car.
On the journey, the two of them were silent, and the car had a ominous vibe.
Yun Xi was nearly freezing to death from the cold air emanating from Mu Feichi.
After thinking for a bit, she stretched out her hand and tugged at Mu Feichi’s sleeve. “Young Marshal Mu, I’m hungry. Can we please go to eat something?…”
Being hungry was just an excuse. She simply wanted to find a reason to get out of the car so she could breathe.
It took a long time for Mu Feichi to turn his head and ask casually, “What do you want to eat?”
“Hot food…”
They drove for a while longer before finally pulling over to a stop. When Mu Feichi pushed open the door to get out of the car, Yun Xi obediently jumped out by herself.
Following Mu Feichi, Yun Xi raised her head and glanced at the restaurant. It was a Chaoshan porridge restaurant.
In Jingdu, this kind of restaurant was difficult to find. When it was cold, it felt comfy and cozy to eat a bowl of warm seafood porridge.
After ordering two bowls of shrimp porridge, Yun Xi ate her porridge while watching the man across from her.
“Why aren’t you eating?”
“Not hungry.”
Yun Xi bit her lip. He probably couldn’t eat because he was still fuming.
With a light sigh, she put a spoonful of porridge with several shrimps near his mouth and coaxed, “The porridge is delicious, and the shrimp are very fresh. Please try it!”
Mu Feichi lowered his eyes and glanced at the spoon she had brought up to his mouth. Then he looked at the expectant little rascal across from him, and he frowned.
“Young Marshal Mu, pleeease!” She continued to hold the spoon with an earnest expression.
Just as her hands started trembling, Mu Feichi clasped her wrist and put the spoonful of porridge into his mouth.
Yun Xi wanted to give him a second spoonful, but Mu Feichi clasped her wrist and made her eat it herself.
After their playful exchange, the vibe was no longer so tense.
Yun Xi snuck a glance at Mu Feichi’s face, but he was also staring at her, and they locked eyes. Her heart lurched.
When he gazed deeply at her, she felt that the world seemed somewhat different. Flustered, she lowered her head and dared not give him another glance.
After finishing the porridge, Yun Xi insisted that Mu Feichi drive the car back to Mu Mansion first and wait for her to change her clothes before going home.
Upon seeing the two of them come back, the butler greeted them. Yun Xi rushed to the guest room on the first floor to change her clothes.
“Master, you…” As soon as the butler looked over at Mu Feichi, he saw a red rash on Mu Feichi’s neck. He looked worried, “What did you eat?”
Mu Feichi touched his neck and examined his wrists. He noticed the allergic rash. He pulled up his collar and pulled down his sleeves. He acted like nothing had happened.
“Nothing. I ate a few shrimps.”
“You are allergic to seafood, and you know that, so why…?”
“Go and find the allergy medicine.” Mu Feichi gazed at the closed door as he spoke with an impassive expression.
The butler immediately understood what had happened. After sighing silently to himself, he turned and went to look for the medicine.
