Chapter 40
Was she treating him like a fool? How could a normal friend possibly give her a gift in the form of jewelry?
Upon listening to his words, Luo Chenxi could not help feeling stunned. Had Mu Yichen actually seen that?
Upon seeing Luo Chenxi’s stunned expression, fury rose from his chest. “Luo Chenxin, you never change! Why, have you pretended to be a pure young maiden for two years and can’t bear to continue the pretense anymore?” Mu Yichen almost believed her. “Do you still remember my warning to you, hmm?”
The more he thought about it, the angrier he was. He wrapped his arm around her slim waist and locked her into his cradle. Then, he used his other hand to lift her chin up to compel her to look at him.
Luo Chenxi wanted to dodge, yet despite her usual agility, it was completely ineffective with Mu Yichen. The man’s strong, huge hand was tightly wrapped around her, filled with the oppressing sensation of pure masculinity.
“Hey, can’t you understand what I’m saying? I told you that there’s nothing between me and Sheng Yu! He didn’t give me any jewelry…No, it is jewelry, but it’s not what you think it is! Mu Yichen, let go of me. You’re hurting me!”
Luo Chenxi wanted to pry his palm away, but she could not budge it after a few attempts. She raised her leg and stomped on him right away.
This man had really gone too far!
Aside from the fact that he accused her without explanation, he had the audacity to be rough with her. She would try her best to get rid of him by stomping on him!
Mu Yichen did not expect the wicked woman that appeared harmless could be so strong. He was caught off-guard such that the tip of her high heel caught his foot. His face contorted in pain.
“Sh*t!”
Luo Chenxi seized the opportunity to shove him away and turned around to leave.
However, she did not manage to walk far before Mu Yichen caught up to her. The man pinned her down by her waist and stopped her struggles skillfully with his strength.
Although Luo Chenxi still had the intention to use the same technique again, Mu Yichen shifted his arm downward and pressed her voluptuous buttocks to clamp her legs. Their bodies ended up tightly pressed together.
“Trying to stomp on me again? Do you think that I’m incapable of stopping you?” The man’s voice that was trying to suppress his rage was heard close to her ear.
Luo Chenxi’s entire body had turned stiff. She did not even have the courage to make a movement.
Their position was truly flirtatious. Mu Yichen’s huge hand was placed on her thigh with just a thin layer of fabric separating his skin from hers. The heat and strength radiating from his palm almost burned her.
They were still standing on a busy street!
The voices of passersby were heard indistinctly in the distance.
Luo Chenxi wondered if she was overthinking because she thought that she even heard Zuo Xiaoqing’s voice. If the rest of the participants were to see her now, it would truly be immensely embarrassing for her.
“Mu…Yichen, stop it! Let me go first so I can explain…” Her tone softened at once.
Mu Yichen scoffed coldly, “Scared now, huh? Why didn’t you think of the consequences when you took Sheng Yu’s gift?”
“Mu Yichen, can’t…can’t you listen to my explanation first?” Luo Chenxi was exasperated.
“Go ahead. Explain yourself.”
“Let go of me first!”
Mu Yichen did not realize that there was anything wrong with their pose originally, but when he looked at her enticing blush creeping up on her small face, he suddenly felt parched. His voice was hoarse as he said, “Explain yourself first. I shall let go of you naturally if I’m satisfied.”
Luo Chenxi wished that she could bite him. “Are you crazy? What if someone were to take a photo? You’re going to make the headlines!”
Even though the young master of the Mu family had always maintained a low profile, he was wealthy and handsome. Every little news related to him would easily make the headlines, what more hot news like him hugging a woman on a busy street!
Luo Chenxi thought that he would loosen his grip on her after listening to her remark.
Everyone knew that Young Master Mu loathed scandals all the while. The female celebrities that had the audacity to use him as a romantic scandal would end up permanently shut out by him mercilessly.
Who would have thought that Mu Yichen would just take a side glance at her before retorting indifferently? “I’m holding my wife. Why should I be afraid of others taking photos?”
