Even when Mu Feichi was being stared at by Yun Xi, his expression remained at ease as if he didn’t feel any awkwardness from that.

However, when the man’s mysterious eyes meet the lady’s, they became more and more unpredictable. It was as if a whirlpool was forming inside of him, pulling her deeper and deeper into the abyss.

The only light source in the study was the lamp above the pool table. Yet, because of the man’s aura, the area that was lit was starting to become suffocating.

“T…the Han family…,” Yun Xi replied after staring into the man’s eyes for a few seconds.

The lady felt as if Mu Feichi was going to devour her very soon.

Just as Yun Xi was about to divert her gaze, the man suddenly moved closer to her. Before she could even react, he grabbed her by her waist, lifted her off the floor, and set her down on the table.

The man then situated himself between her legs and leaned in on her.

Yun Xi was now sitting on the table while Mu Feichi remained standing. The table’s height was just tall enough for their private parts to come in contact with each other. As the man leaned further in, she could feel his muscular abs touching her, and, of course, the rock-solid thing that was making her tense up too.

“The Han family or Han Yaotian?” Mu Feichi reached his hand out and raised her head by her chin. He stared into her eyes and warned her, “The Han family has now been kicked out of the big four wealthiest families. This is the best time for you to finish them off. If you aren’t cruel enough, this cornered family will do something desperate…”

“I know. A skinny camel is still bigger than a healthy horse in the end. Even if the Han family is no longer one of the big four wealthiest families, it will be hard for us to get rid of them right away, especially when we are still unsure of Han Hongbin’s real identity. That’s why I decided to start with Han Yaotian first. No matter how big their family is, if I can make use of the situation correctly, Han Yaotian alone will be enough for me to destroy the Han family. This isn’t my first time doing something like this.”

Yun Xi raised her head and smiled like the sly fox that she was.

Mu Feichi had no choice but to nod. He gently flicked her forehead and scolded, “You’d better be careful. I don’t want to lose you again because of Han Yaotian.”

Yun Xi poked the man back on his chest while scowling at him. “Since when did you ever lose me?”

Being intensely stared at by the Young Commander made Yun Xi feel like there was no place for her to hide. It was as if he could see through all her secrets, and it made her feel a little guilty.

However, Yun Xi wasn’t planning on repeating the same mistakes from her past life ever again.

Mu Feichi had only wanted to tease her. However, he noticed the slight change in her eyes, and his expression darkened. He could not understand why Yun Xi would react strangely whenever he brought Han Yaotian or the Han family up.

From what he had gathered, the Han family had never done anything to her that warranted such hatred from her. However, she insisted on dragging the Han family down to h*ll as if they had been sworn enemies.

As long as Yun Xi decided to not let him in on it, Mu Feichi would never question her. Yet, whenever she let her hatred take over her emotion, he felt as if they were in two different worlds. No matter how hard he tried, he just could not get into hers.

What confused the Young Commander even more was that she could have just relied on him. He would have given her the power to do anything she wanted in Jingdu without any reservations. But she didn’t want to trouble him and had actually managed to slowly bring the Han family down on her own.

Mu Feichi was pained to see Yun Xi walking on such a painful, difficult path, but all he could do was let her do everything she wanted to.

That was the biggest freedom the Young Commander could offer to the lady.

Suddenly, the man lowered his head and kissed her on her neck. He didn’t stop until a hickey had formed.

“I’ll never lose you to another man. You’ll be mine and only mine.” The man’s hoarse voice resonated next to Yun Xi’s ear.
