At first, Mu Yichen"s back did feel really stiff, so he almost jumped on the spot from Luo Chenxi abruptly pressed her hands down on his neck.

However, as his body gradually relaxed and the soreness faded, his senses became more and more acute.

As the woman"s delicate pair of hands found their way around his nape, they brought an electrifying sensation.

A fresh and elegant fragrance lingered at his nose as Luo Chenxi constantly exhaled her breath at the back of his ears.

Mu Yichen"s breathing gradually became heavier…

As Luo Chenxi carried on, she realized that the man suddenly became stiff again after managing to relax.

Just as she thought it was a little strange, an abrupt force pressed and held down her hands.

Mu Yichen"s strong palms clutched her slender wrists, and with just a little more strength, the man managed to pull Luo Chenxi"s entire body all the way to the front.

Luo Chenxi lost her balance and her body swayed as she fell into Mu Yichen"s arms.

“What… what are you trying to do?”

Luo Chenxi became a little fl.u.s.tered as she b.u.mped into the man"s well-defined chest muscles.

Mu Yichen looked down at her, “Shouldn"t that be my line? First the fruits, then the cooking, and now a ma.s.sage? Just what are you trying to pull?”

Luo Chenxi"s face turned red as the man easily saw through her intentions, she coughed dryly.

“Cough, cough. Young Master Mu, you"re overthinking it. I just think that you"ve been pushing yourself too hard at work, so I want you to relax…”

Mu Yichen snorted. “One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions.”

Did this man have to be so straightforward?

A straight man like him would never find a wife!

Mu Yichen glanced at her. “Are you really not trying something funny?”

“Not at all!” Luo Chenxi nodded repeatedly.

Mu Yichen pushed her aside and pretended to get up. “Since there"s nothing to it, I"ll be heading to the study room for work. Help yourself.”

Seeing that he was about to leave, Luo Chenxi became anxious and quickly reached out her hands to tug on his shirt from the back. “Wait!”

Mu Yichen stopped and turned around to look at her.

“I…”

Luo Chenxi suddenly hesitated as the words reached the tip of her tongue.

Her intuition told her that Mu Yichen did not like her asking about his company matters. Moreover, Luo Anguo"s request was too much even for Luo Chenxi herself.

Mu Yichen thin lips parted. “I"ll give you one last chance. If you refuse to say it now, don"t think about saying it ever again.”

“Hey, hey, hey! Wait, wait a minute! I do have something to say… I need your help with something.” Luo Chenxi bit her lips and stole a glance at Mu Yichen.

Contrary to her expectations, Young Master Mu seemed to be in a good mood.

He sat back on the sofa and spread out his limbs. The man looked so arrogant and domineering as he gestured at Luo Chenxi with his finger.

“Sit here. If you want to beg someone, you have to do it with the right att.i.tude.”

Was he calling a pet or something?

The corner of Luo Chenxi"s mouth twitched as she moved to the front of the sofa.

It was a sofa for two, but the man took up more than half of the s.p.a.ce.

Luo Chenxi wanted to sit at an empty spot, but no matter how she looked at it, she would end up sticking closely and tightly to Mu Yichen if she did so.

Luo Chenxi forced herself to sit next to him. She found it difficult to breath normally as the man radiated a scorching heat and hormonal aura around his body.

Mu Yichen"s expression did not change, but he felt pretty prideful in his heart.

He reckoned that this woman finally realized his worth as the great ideal husband of the nation after she became famous from the fashion design compet.i.tion. It seemed like she wanted Mu Yichen to model for her again.

It was rare for the little white rabbit to walk right into the tiger"s jaws off her own accord, so he decided that he would make Luo Chenxi remain solicitous to him for a few more days before agreeing to whatever she was going to request.

Luo Chenxi said carefully, “Young Master Mu, here"s how it is…”

She originally only wanted to talk about it when the little dumpling was still around. That way, even if Mu Yichen refused her request, he would not snap at her in front of the little princess.

Furthermore, it would sound more natural for the little dumpling to sway the focus of the conversation to her own grandfather.

However, now that the little dumpling had revolted at the last minute, she could only choose to face the demon king before her on her own.

“I heard that the Mu Group is looking to partner up with another company to develop a real estate project in Cheng Dong. The Luo Corporation is also involved in the tender proposal. Cough… cough… So, my dad"s asking me to ask you if it"s possible to give the Luo Corporation some preferential treatment.”

The moment she finished, Luo Chenxi felt the air around her freeze.

When she lifted her head, her eyes met with Mu Yichen"s cold gaze and she could not help but shudder.

Other than that one time on their wedding night, Luo Chenxi had never seen that icy and merciless expression on Mu Yichen"s face!
