Chapter 76 – Eyes Off For One Day, Yet Another Man Trying To Hook Up With Her
"You… What nonsense are you going on about this time?"
Mu Yichen appeared like a white knight out of nowhere and carefully s.h.i.+elded her in his arms, just like what a boyfriend would do.
With her face pressed against his chest, Luo Chenxi felt his steady heartbeat and secretly blushed.
She never had a man shelter her in his embrace like this without a second thought!
Luo Chenxi wanted to express her grat.i.tude, but Mu Yichen started interrogating her before she could say anything.
Her heartfelt emotions disappeared in an instant and she was harshly thrown back to reality.
That's right, Mu Yichen was not her real boyfriend. He was just her husband in name.
There was no way Mu Yichen would fall for her. He only chased Chen Junjie away to live up to his reputation of being a husband.
"Didn't you see it just now? It was Chen Junjie who insisted on pestering me. I've already told him that I have a boyfriend!" She bit her lips and tried to explain.
Hearing this, Mu Yichen suddenly recalled the conversation he overheard when he rushed over.
'This woman mentioned that she already has a boyfriend and that her boyfriend is a billion times richer and more handsome than Chen Junjie.
'At least she's got good taste!'
Mu Yichen's expression immediately eased up by a lot, but his grip on Luo Chenxi's chin was still firm as ever.
"Then why was he so persistent? Didn't you come here to buy fabrics? How did you end up b.u.mping into him?"
Luo Chenxi was briefly stunned. "How did you know that I
A hint of awkwardness flashed across Mu Yichen's face, but he quickly concealed it with a cold face and firmly said, "Don't you dare change the topic. Answer my question!"
There was no way he would let the woman know that he specially instructed Old Liu to pick her up because he was afraid that she would return home in the middle of the night again, just like she did on the second day of their marriage.
He hesitated before coming because he was scared that she would mistake his kindness for affection toward her.
However, he was glad that he made the right decision to come here!
He had only kept his eyes off this woman for one day and another man had already tried hooking up with her.
Despite him not having any feelings for Luo Chenxi, he could not accept the fact that his own wife was being pestered by another man.
Luo Chenxi observed his everchanging gloomy face and carefully answered, "There's really nothing between us. I was trying to buy fabrics in that shop up ahead when I realized that I didn't bring enough money. When I was leaving, I b.u.mped into the woman that is taking part in the same compet.i.tion as me and we started arguing."
"Her boyfriend, Chen Junjie came soon after. He is my high… Um, we once met at a c.o.c.ktail party when he suddenly said he likes me, and he has been really persistent ever since then… This incident is really baffling to me."
Luo Chenxi did intend to tell him what exactly happened, until she suddenly remembered that she was supposed to be 'Luo Chenxin' instead of 'Luo Chenxi'!
She quickly swallowed the bit about high school and told the tale in a different way.
After she had finished explaining, she looked at Mu Yichen nervously.
Fortunately, although Mu Yichen still had a gloomy look on his face, he did not pressure further. It seemed like he bought into her explanation.
Mu Yichen released his grip on her chin, but his other arm was still firmly clasped around her waist.
"So, the dignified Young Madam of the Mu family, who entered a shop in an attempt to buy a few rags, ended up not being able to pay for them? Luo Chenxin, you do know your ways around tarnis.h.i.+ng my name!"
Luo Chenxi did not expect the topic to change so quickly. She was briefly thrown into a trance and could not help but furiously glare at Mu Yichen when she came back to her senses.
