Marry A Sweetheart And Get Another Free: President, Please Sign This!-Chapter 24
Given such a great opportunity for her to pass through the preliminary round of the Chinese Design Competition, it would be agonizing if she were to miss the event just like that!
It was only over twenty minutes until the start of the event. Even if she were to manage to get a taxi as soon as she left the house, she would most probably be late. However, if she was only late by a few minutes, perhaps the organizer could make an exception for her.
However, Mu Yichen’s huge hand was firm and strong. He grasped her wrist firmly without the slightest intention to loosen his grip. He emphasized his words and asked once again, “Where are you actually going?”
Luo Chenxi was so anxious that she was flushing scarlet. “Mu Chenxi! I don’t have time for this! I have some proper business to attend to. Please let go of me quickly!”
Before her voice faded away, the man by her side stood up. With his huge hand still holding her wrist, he exerted his strength and tugged her along as he made his way to the door.
“Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me quickly!”
“I thought you said that you were in a rush and that you’re running out of time? I’ll give you a ride.” Mu Yichen stopped walking for a moment and turned around to look at her.
Luo Chenxi looked up in astonishment just in time to meet his eyes that were deep and dark as ink.
His gaze was so deep that it was bottomless, but his expression was cold and apathetic. There was utterly no way that she could tell what was on his mind.
Just as she was caught in her daze, Mu Yichen had already picked up the car keys on the side table and tugged her along as they left the house.
The two girls at the dining table widened their mouths in surprise and watched their departing silhouettes in a daze.
“Daddy…Miss…Tang Tang wants to go too…” The little dumpling pouted her lips piteously. What a waste that her soft voice was destined not to be heard by Mu Yichen and Luo Chenxi.
Mu Yiling, who had witnessed the entire event unfold but did not speak at all, suddenly raised his arms and stretched his body lazily. “Ouch, this life is too hard on me! I’m just having breakfast at home, but I’m forced to chow down a tummy full of dog food! Oh, times are hard…Is life going to give a single dog like me something to live on?”
As he was speaking, he stood up. “Weiwei, I’ll give you a ride to school.”
Mu Weiwei had yet to cool down from her pent-up anger. She stamped her foot in a rage after seeing her brother’s cynical reaction to the situation.
“Brother! Y-you…you…Didn’t you see how that woman bullied me? How could you be so calm!? Also, Big Brother and Tang Tang have actually been bewitched by that woman! What should we do? I wonder what sort of drug has the cunning fox given to him. Has he forgotten about how she hurt Tang Tang in the past? How could he side with that woman to scold me together?!”
Mu Yiling turned his head around and smiled slyly. “Not that I’m criticizing you, but you should really mind your words, Weiwei. Otherwise, who’d have the courage to marry you in the future?”
“Brother, who’s side are you on anyway?” Mu Weiwei remarked angrily.
Mu Yiling shrugged. “Our big brother, the thousand-year-old virgin, actually knows how to tempt a woman with his words. Don’t you think that’s fun?”
“Tempt…tempt a woman? Which woman is he tempting? You can’t be referring to Luo Chenxin, can you? Could it be that our big brother has truly…for that woman? Brother, how could you still laugh at that?!” She glared at her unreliable second brother and almost fainted from rage!
How could her entire family be bewitched by that wicked woman, Luo Chenxin? She was the only clear-minded person around!
‘No, this can’t continue anymore!’
She must figure out a way to drive that woman out of the family!
Mu Yichen pulled Luo Chenxi to the front of an Aston Martin before he loosened his grip on her wrist. “Get into the car!”
She sat in the passenger seat and turned her head cautiously to look at the man on her left.
“Mu Yichen, uh…Thank…”
“What’s the address?” Mu Yichen’s expression revealed his impatience before she could even finish saying ‘thank you’.
