Yun Xi laughed lightly, suppressing the waves of heat that had surged up her body. She clenched her teeth, her grip on Mu Feichi gradually tightening.

This seemed to be the only way to control her actions and her brain, which was starting to become muddled.

“The moment Niao entered, she retreated to the best spot where she could observe…”

Since she was a bodyguard, she knew which position was the best spot to observe the scene. If she had to protect the two of them, she must definitely be on high alert today. As long as he had a way to contact her, it would definitely work.

“Then there is only one possibility. She is fully focused on the surroundings and our safety. Or perhaps you have already planned this beforehand, and you have already discussed with her what to do…”

She knew that Mu Feichi would never fight a battle he was not confident of winning. Even if he had come alone on such an occasion, he would definitely be fully prepared.

As expected, he had just tapped a message in Morse code on her back. He was obviously prepared.

Mu Feichi’s lips curled up slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes now. He led her as they danced toward Fenghuang Niao who was making her way through the crowd with a glass of wine.

Fenghuang Niao was indeed well trained. She held her glass of wine as she paced among the crowd of guests to the rhythm of the music. She moved to the area where Mu Feichi was about to walk as her sharp eyes quickly flashed across the crowd. When no one was looking at her, she suddenly acted as if she had been pushed by someone from behind and fell onto the carpet.

The red wine in her hand splashed onto Yun Xi’s skirt, as she fell onto the ground.

“Ah…” Landing on the ground, Fenghuang Niao struggled to stand up. Seeing that the two of them had stopped dancing, she purposely pulled on her skirt and stood up awkwardly.

“Young Commander, I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I didn’t do it on purpose. I don’t know who pushed me…”

No one thought that an accident like this could happen. Mu Feichi and Yun Xi stopped dancing. The music also stopped, and the surrounding guests all looked at them.

Yun Xi looked at the red wine that had splashed onto the hem of her dress and lightly tugged at it. She calmed herself down and smiled gently. “It’s okay, don’t worry about it. You didn’t hurt yourself, did you?”

“I’m fine. I’m really sorry. I really didn’t do it on purpose…”

Mu Feichi lowered his head to look at her dress stained with red wine. He looked at the surrounding guests and said, “I’m sorry, everyone. We’ll go tidy up now. Please keep on enjoying yourselves in the meantime…”

As he spoke, he pulled Yun Xi outside. Fenghuang Niao followed behind, apologizing helplessly.

“Young Commander, how can I help…”

The guests started gossiping among themselves. Several of the socialites saw Yun Xi’s misfortune and laughed out loud. They all thought that one of the socialites had been jealous and intentionally splashed red wine at her, but they couldn’t have cared less. The banquet quickly became lively again.

Zhao Yumo was about to go to help Yun Xi when she was stopped by Jiang Chenghuan. He informed her in a low voice, “That woman is Mu Jinzhi’s cousin. Something must have happened, so she used this method to get them away.”

“Ah? So that’s it…” Zhao Yumo took a while to react. She looked at the door through which they had disappeared and felt uneasy.

“Should we go help? Did something really happen?”

“Mu Jinzhi brought bodyguards with him to the villa. They will take care of things. There are so many eyes watching us, so we can’t panic.”

Once something happened to them, everyone in the banquet hall would find out. One of them was the Young Commander of Jun Country and the other was the top socialite. If they were to make a scene now, they would embarrass themselves.

Zhao Yumo finally understood what was going on. She nodded and looked at the guests in the banquet hall. She subconsciously became more alert.
