"Let go of her first. She doesn't look well," Ji Heng said coldly, maintaining a cold and elegant tone. Mu Yichen could roughly tell who these two people were, but he did not want to bother about them. Lowering his eyes and sticking to her ear, he said in a low and indifferent voice slowly, "Stand properly." The person in his arms frowned and sweated profusely. She did not know whether it was because of pain or the pain in her stomach. She felt so uncomfortable that she could not speak. Mu Yichen's face darkened. He took a deep breath and almost ran out of patience. He said in a slightly harsh voice, "Mu Lanxi, stand properly." However, a pair of soft arms wrapped around his neck and buried their heads in his neck. Lanxi bit her lips and said in a trembling voice against the sweat, "My stomach hurts..." It really hurt. He was in so much pain that he almost died. "Mu Yichen... I miss my mother..." Her hoarse voice fell down along with a drop of tears. ###Chapter17,Unintentionally Weakness When people were fragile, they seemed to begin to become fragile. Mu Yichen opened the door and hesitated for a moment when he put Lan Xi in. He didn't know if he should send her home under this situation. How could he explain it to Mu Mingsheng, especially the strange thing—it was so late, how could they be together? Closing his thin lips tightly, he held his breath, got up and closed the door. Ji Yao looked at Lanxi's situation through the window anxiously while holding her head to endure the violent bangs of Ji Heng. She didn't forget to throw Mu Yichen, who had a strong aura, a doubtful and disbelieving look. "Ahem... Well, she doesn't feel well. Do you want her to drink more hot water..." Ji Yao said with a red face. Mu Yichen didn't answer. He opened the car door and didn't look at them. He naturally knew this. What he knew even more was that the main way to prevent such a thing from happening was to stop her from entering such a chaotic and rotten place. He did not want to waste his breath with outsiders. His eyes were as cold as ice as he sat in. Ji Yao was at a disadvantage. She turned to look helplessly at Ji Heng. "Hey, brother, do you know when there is such a man in Lanxi's family? She didn't even say it herself!" Ji Yao scratched her head. However, Ji Heng's eyes were deep. No one knew what he was thinking. With the strong after-effect of the alcohol, Lan Xi felt uncomfortable because of the fever. He pulled his clothes with his little hands. Mu Yuchen caught a glimpse of that scene in the rearview mirror. His handsome face suddenly turned cold, and he warned in a low voice, "Put it on." — Who was the one who taught her to wear such a fascinating laced cool skirt in the windbreaker? The place that should be wrapped was well wrapped, but the delicate shape was so obvious that the blue veins on his forehead bulged when he took a look at it. Lanxi, however, did not seem to hear anything. He pulled the windbreaker off his body and felt much cooler. "Squeak!" Mu Yuchen slammed on the brake. His eyes were horribly cold. He threw her half-damped coat into the back seat, took off his suit jacket, and shook it hard. Without any explanation, he leaned over and wrapped her body tightly. She struggled and refused to cooperate. Mu Yichen's face became even darker. His powerful big hands grabbed her slender wrist that was about to move and wrapped it in a suit. He asked in a low and cold voice, "Do you know how old you are? Just wearing this kind of clothes?" Lanxi was unable to catch his breath, pressed down so hard that he couldn't even move an inch. With a hint of sobbing, he frowned and protested, "I'm hot..." As she spoke, her tiny hands began to push and struggle with all her might again. Mu Yichen restrained the disobedient little thing for a few times, then he bowed his head and firmly pressed against her forehead which was wet with sweat. He frowned and warned, "Don't move! ... I'll turn on the air conditioner." He was still wondering. Wasn't he having a stomachache? Why was he still so happy? As expected, Lan Xi raised his eyelashes that were wet with tears, looked at him, and spat out two more words, "... I'm hungry." Mu Yuchen heaved a sigh of relief. He felt sweat after a few struggles. He swept his cold eyes over them, but his voice was soft. "What do you want to eat?" "Cake." Her voice was soft, and she became sober again. Mu Yichen felt that it was easy to deal with. He nodded and wanted to get up, but he heard her confused voice. "Birthday cake." His face suddenly darkened again. In the car on the roadside, he was silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice, "Sit. Wait for me." He got off the car and locked the door. Mu Yichen felt a bit of cold confusion in his heart. He was sure that he was not such a soft-hearted person. Could it be that his patience and compromise at this moment was because she showed weakness to him when she was unconscious just now? But when she returned to the car with the cake, she had fallen asleep leaning against the cold window. ###Chapter18,Humiliated and Resolute When Lan Xi woke up, he only felt smoke coming out of his throat, his lips dry and cracked. When she got up from the bed, she was shocked and almost thought that she was in danger. Her little face was pale and she looked down to see if her clothes were in good condition. She was relieved and looked at the layout of the room, then she opened the door and went out. Looking down from the second floor, Mu Yichen was reading a newspaper at the table in the living room. This powerful visual impact made Lan Xi take a small step back. His small hand grabbed the railing, taking a deep breath and exhaling. "Where am I?" "Go wash up when you wake up and come down to eat. You have 20 minutes." His deep and mellow voice, without a trace of warmth, rang out calmly in the hall. Lan Xi bites his lips. His little face turns red then white. He really suspects that this man also has eyes on the top of his head. She ran to the washroom, washing her face and brushing her teeth. While brushing her face, she stared at a set of white toiletries on the stand. She turned her face away and saw a white towel. There was a hint of coldness in her simple look. She put on a pair of slippers and walked out without taking a second look. When she went downstairs, Lanxi saw that this house was even bigger than she had imagined. She walked down slowly and pulled open the heavy chair in front of the dining table as she whispered, "Where is this..." Mu Yichen finished reading the last content of the financial section. He folded the newspaper and put it aside. Then he took the napkin and simply wiped his hands. "My home," he said in a low voice. Lan Xi was stunned. In fact, she was a little hungry and didn't want to be polite with him. She touched the table with her small hands and a piece of bread. Her clear watery eyes were full of doubts. "... Then am I sleepwalking here?" Mu Yichen paused and put down the silver fork in his hand. He picked up the milk next to him and took a sip, then looked up and said, "Don't you remember?" Lan Xi was shocked and almost choked on the bread he was swallowing. She looked at him nervously, afraid that she would guess it herself. Could it be that she really did something shocking last night after she was drunk? Mu Yichen put down the milk cup and his face became a little colder. He said in a low voice, "Sit here." His aura was naturally strong, and the cold pressure seemed to spread around him in an instant, making it hard for him to breathe. Lanxi was very dismayed, but he did not dare to disobey. A flash of light flashed across his clean face, telling himself to be as relaxed as possible. It was no big deal. She sat beside him obediently and stubbornly. However, she did not expect that his powerful hand had already reached for her chin as soon as she sat down. He forced her clear watery eyes to look at him, and his voice was full of malice and sternness. "Lanxi, I'll tell you once, and also the last time. Don't go out alone during the night, especially don't go to places that you shouldn't have been with, understand?" Lan Xi was first frightened by his aura, and then he reacted. "She's not someone I shouldn't be with. She's my classmate, and she's..." He frowned and said, "Say 'yes'." Lan Xi choked with anger and his face flushed red, "Mu Youchen, what right do you have to interfere with my business? You're just my brother in name, and you don't even care about my father..." "Do you really hope that no one will care about you?" His tone became colder, as cold as ice. "I'll repeat it only once. 'Okay'." Lan Xi's jaw was clenched in pain. His eyes were filled with light, filled with humiliation and stubborness. They confronted each other in this way, second by second passing by. The light in her clear eyes was getting dimmer and dimmer, and she was about to give up. The dangerous oppressive force almost made her breathless. With her long eyelashes hanging down and a hint of soft grievances, she answered with a low but clear "yes". ###Chapter19,The Lie Was Revealed This was a compromise. Mu Yuchen's cold and gloomy eyes slowly softened at this moment. He took back his hand and left her to sit aside. "Eat something first, and then I will send you back to the company. You'd better find a reason to explain last night's sleep—" Mu Yichen suddenly paused when he said this, and his cold eyes looked at her movements unnaturally. Her face was as cold as water, and she took his milk cup and drank it in small sips. A hint of cold light suddenly disappeared, and Mu Yichen suppressed a little unnaturalness. He said in a low voice, "Is there a reason?" "Yes, I do." "What is it?" "I told you I was going to spend the night at my little uncle's house. I used to say that before." She didn't even look at him. Then she pushed the milk glass, and Lanxi stood up. "I'm full." Mu Yichen frowned and looked at her plate. She only tore at a piece of bread and ate it. He said, "Eat more." Lan Xi turned around and gave him a cold look. Then, he lifted his foot and left. She had a cold and bad temper and extended from the car all the way into the grand and luxurious house. The dawn's glimmer made the whole house a little bright, just like the day he came. Mu Mingsheng sat on the sofa with his face as tight as a cast. Mo Ruqing was also unable to sit still and paced back and forth in the living room. When she saw the handsome and straight figure coming faintly in the dazzling light of the dawn, her heart almost felt sour. But when she saw the slim girl behind him with a cold face, she was suddenly shocked and trembled.
