725 i don't want to get married or fall in love in this life!
in country D.
an ancient castle was hidden in the quiet forest.
in the living room, mu yiling could not sit still. he kept pacing back and forth.
“brother, the faires family is really too much! we’ve already made an appointment to meet their family head, but we’ve been here for more than half an hour and we haven’t even seen his shadow! are you standing us up on purpose?”
“what is the meaning of this? although the faires family is a local tyrant in europe, and our mu family’s influence is mainly in asia, the faires family has been out of fashion for a long time. they might not even be comparable to the mu family now, and yet they still dare to be so arrogant!”
on the other hand, mu yichen was extremely calm. he sat calmly by the table and sipped his tea. there was not much expression on his face.
mu yiling was so angry that he was stomping his feet. only then did he open his eyes and speak unhurriedly.
“enough, let’s just wait. come and sit down. you’re already so anxious over such a small matter, how can you handle a big matter?”
“i …”
mu yiling choked.
soon after, he dashed toward mu yichen in one big stride. ” brother, aren’t you angry? the faires family has gone too far!”
mu yichen swept a glance at him. ” so what if i’m angry? are we just going to leave? don’t forget, my mother-in-law is very likely in their hands. if she just leaves like this, how am i going to explain it to chenxi when i go back?”
for the sake of the little woman at home, it was not a bad thing to lower his head a little.
mu yiling was stunned when he heard that.
his big brother had always been proud and arrogant, and he had never been willing to suffer any losses.
but now, for his sister-in-law’s sake, he was actually able to endure this anger …
oh my god, a man in love is too scary!
getting married and having children was too scary!
in order to avoid becoming like his big brother, he had decided not to get married or fall in love for the rest of his life!
just as he was feeling conflicted, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor.
then, the door was pushed open from the outside.
the housekeeper of the faires castle bowed carefully and led a tall and handsome young man in.
the man looked to be in his late twenties, about the same age as mu yichen.
he wasn’t wearing a modern suit, but rather a rather retro-style palace dress.
his black hair and blue eyes made him look like a prince from the middle ages.
mu yiling stared at the person for a while. he could not help but frown and said,”what’s going on? don’t tell me that this is the patriarch of the fields family? from what i know, the patriarch of the fields family is already over forty years old. how can he be so young?”
the butler immediately said,”second young master mu, please be more polite!” this is our patriarch’s eldest son, young master cyril. the eldest young master is temporarily acting as the patriarch, so seeing him is the same as seeing the patriarch!”
cyril waved his hand, signaling for the butler to leave.
then, he walked to the two of them.
mu yiling took a step back subconsciously. his intuition told him that this man was very dangerous! he wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
cyril took a few steps closer to mu yichen. he did not speak but watched him quietly.
he treated mu yiling like air.
mu yichen did not even raise his head. he did not utter a word.
the atmosphere in the quiet room suddenly became oppressive. an invisible pressure made mu yiling break out in a cold sweat.
he knew that this was a silent confrontation.
the two heirs of the world’s top forces observed each other in silence, testing each other’s strength.
