Chapter 23: Qin Mufeng Is A Roadblock
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Her originally pure and innocent appearance was now tinged with a bit of lustiness.
Pure and lustful. It was probably what Jiang Xun looked like.
It was hard to imagine that such contradictory words could be used to describe a person.
Mufeng had also seen such words on the internet—things like “Innocent Lustiness” being thrown around. But he’d always scoffed at such words. It was just a self-proclaimed title. It didn’t live up to its name.
He felt that there shouldn’t be such a person in this world.
The word “Innocent Lustiness” was simply up to one’s perception.
But now, standing before Jiang Xun, Mufeng finally understood what they meant.
After being slightly stunned, Mufeng said, “Get in the car and I’ll send you back.”
Jiang Xun really wanted to refuse. She really wanted to strengthen her body.
This Mufeng always offered to send her back every time he saw her. He was a roadblock on her way to strengthening her body!
Mufeng’s brows twitched slightly. “Even if you want to train your body, now is not the time.”
“Fine.” Jiang Xun had no choice but to get in the car.
Mufeng blinked at her. Look at how reluctant she was.
Chengnan could only watch them speechlessly. How many women were begging for the chance to get into Mufeng’s car, yet were unable to even touch the door handle?
When Jiang Xun got into the car, the car didn’t start immediately, so she hurriedly fastened her seatbelt.
It was the same last time. Because she’d forgotten to fasten her seatbelt, Mufeng didn’t say a word and just stared at her for a long time.
However, even when Jiang Xunfinally managed to fasten her seatbelt, the car didn’t start yet.
Only then did she prompt, “Are you going to start the car?”
“Address?” Mufeng finally spoke.
Jiang Xun hurriedly told him her address, inwardly grumbling. She didn’t know what was wrong with this man. Couldn’t he just ask her for the address instead of making her suffer in silence?
Only then did the driver start the car.
Back in the restaurant.
Yuexi and the others had been waiting for half an hour, but Jiang Xun still hadn’t come back.
“Why isn’t she back yet?” the blue-gray-eyed girl asked a little anxiously.
No one dared to eat the dishes on the table, so the dishes had already gone stone-cold.
However, Jiang Xun had told them to wait here, so no one dared move a muscle.
“I’ll give her a call,” Yuexi finally said, then took out her phone and dialed Jiang Xun’s number.
“Hello?” Jiang Xun answered.
“You’ve been in the bathroom for a long time. Why aren’t you back yet?” Yuexi asked.
“Oh, I’m constipated.”
Mufeng: “…”
Chengnan: “…”
Yuexi took a deep breath. “…Okay.”
After saying that, she obediently hung up the phone.
Jiang Xun promptly looked at the time displayed on her phone. Half an hour had already passed, but those people hadn’t left yet. Were they still waiting obediently? She’d forgotten about them, to be honest.
Mufeng cleared his throat. “You have an appointment?”
Jiang Xun gave the matter a bit of thought and decided that she didn’t have anything to hide, so she then said, “My half-sister brought me here to meet her friends, but they mocked me for coming from the countryside and looked down on me, so I made an excuse to go to the washroom and left them there to wait.”
Chengnan recalled that she’d said that she was constipated. His lips twitched a little as he said, “Then they were quite obedient. You told them to wait, and they waited obediently?”
If they looked down on Jiang Xun, why would they wait obediently?
Jiang Xun nodded. “Because they already know their mistake and promised me that they would stop mocking people.”
Chengnan’s mouth twitched again.
How obedient.
Even if he didn’t know them, Chengnan knew that these young rich kids were all arrogant, so they would naturally treat everyone as beneath them.
Since they looked down on Jiang Xun who came from the countryside, why would they so obediently listen to her?
As Chengnan was thinking about this, the image of Jiang Xun kicking that drunk man suddenly flashed in his mind.
Could it be that she had used force to subdue them?
However, Chengnan shook his head. There was no way.
The drunkard didn’t dare to make a move because he and Mufeng were still there. The drunkard had probably known that he couldn’t hide from them.
However, Yuexi definitely had a lot of friends, while Jiang Xun was alone. There was no way she could possibly fight off that many people, right?
Chengnan looked at Mufeng through the rearview mirror, but he couldn’t tell what the man was thinking.
Mufeng was looking at Jiang Xun with a complicated expression.
She was…constipated? In his car?
Jiang Xun somehow understood the meaning behind Mufeng’s gaze and shifted away from him. “I was just saying it casually,” she said. It was rare for her to feel uncomfortable under Mufeng’s gaze. “Why are you taking it so seriously?”
Mufeng looked at her for a few seconds before snorting. “Heh.”
After he finished laughing, he turned his head away from her.
Jiang Xun could only stare at him incredulously. What did he mean with that “Heh”?
At the same time this was happening, Yuexi and the others were waiting in the room for another 20 minutes.
The girl in a one-piece dress frowned impatiently. “Even if she’s constipated, she should be out by now, right?”
“I’ll go look for her.” Yuexi stood up after saying that.
At this moment, the guy in the branded clothes suddenly remembered. “Wait, something’s not Right.”
Everyone looked at him and heard him say, “Isn’t there a washroom in our room? Why did she go out for one?”
“Master Shao” stood up immediately. “We’ve been played!”
“Let’s go out and look for her.” The guy in the branded clothes also stood up and said.
“The three of us will go to the female washroom,” said the girl with blue-gray eyes.
“The two of us will go and ask the waiter,” said “Master Shao”.
With that, they scattered.
Yuexi and the girls went to the female washroom at the end of the corridor, but found that there was no one inside.
The three of them exchanged a look and quickly left the washroom to meet up with “Master Shao” and the others.
“How did it go?” Yuexi asked quickly when they ran into the others.
“I just asked the waiter,” the boy dressed in branded clothes said with a sullen face. He gritted his teeth. “The waiter said that she left with two men about half an hour ago.”
“Two men?” Yuexi was surprised. “She’s only been in the capital for a little more than a month and doesn’t know anyone. Why would she leave with two men?”
Could it be that Jiang Xun had actually been meeting some wild men by going out every day?
Jiang Xun had been harassed by the drunkards and the police had arrived, so it was only natural for the manager and the staff to know about it. However, having a guest being harassed on their premises wasn’t a good look for the restaurant, so they didn’t go into such detail and had only told “Master Shao” that Jiang Xun had left with two men.
“Your sister seems to be quite capable,”the girl in a dress commented, her tone dripping with ill intent. “She came to the restaurant and left with two men at once.”
Yuexi understood what she was implying. “Since she’s already left, I’ll go home first. I have to tell my father about this.”
“Let’s go too,” the girl with blue-gray eyes complained, a gloomy look on her face. “It’s all because of her that we haven’t eaten anything yet. The dishes on that table are cold. I’m not touching them.”
