Chapter 53
Meanwhile, someone opened the door and Luo Chenxi stiffened instantaneously.
She could not be having such bad luck, could she? Could Mu Yichen have heard her confession again?
Fortunately, it was just the soft little dumpling.
Tang Tang made her way to the bedside and tilted her little head to the side. “Miss, why haven’t you gotten up yet? I’m waiting for you to have cake together with me!”
“Tang Tang, I’m coming. You can have the cake first. Don’t wait for me,” Luo Chenxi said in a hurry.
Tang Tang shook her head determinedly. “No, I want to have it with you, Miss!”
“Is it okay if you wait for me for a while? I’m coming over now.”
The little dumpling pouted her little lips and blinked her huge eyes as if she was pondering about something. After a while, she suddenly asked in puzzlement, “Miss, didn’t you sleep with Daddy?”
“Cough, cough, cough, cough!” Luo Chenxi almost choked on her saliva. “No, of course not! Why would you think of that? What happened the past two nights was an accident. I won’t be sleeping with your Daddy anymore!”
Tang Tang looked even more confused. Her tiny face scrunched up and she turned from a little dumpling to a little steamed bun. “But, Great-Grandmother said that I must sleep on my own so that Miss can sleep with Daddy. Only then I’ll get a baby brother or sister.”
Luo Chenxi was speechless. “When did your Great-Grandmother say that?”
“Yesterday, when you were cutting the fruits.”
Luo Chenxi looked up at the ceiling, feeling speechless. While she was just innocently cutting fruits, she had been entrapped by someone again!
As she expected, the Mu family was a dangerous place that quashed her.
Tang Tang sucked on a finger and asked in puzzlement, “Miss, did I say something wrong? I was a good girl yesterday. I was alone and scared yesterday night. I wanted to look for you, but I didn’t.”
Luo Chenxi hugged the little dumpling hastily upon listening to her words. “Don’t be scared, Tang Tang! If you are scared again at night, you can come to me. Your Great-Grandmother was wrong. I’ll never sleep together with your Daddy!”
The little dumpling was obviously very confused by the two different sets of conversations. However, she considered it for a moment and felt that the Miss was right for certain, so she nodded obediently.
Swiftly, Luo Chenxi washed up and took the little dumpling’s hand to join her for breakfast downstairs.
In the dining hall, the three Mu siblings were already seated properly.
Luo Chenxi secretly stole a side glance at Mu Yichen. His handsome face was a welcoming sight to her as usual. He was dressed in a tailored suit that fully complemented his elegance and gracefulness.
However, his eyes seemed to appear bloodshot and there were dark circles under his eyes. It was apparent that he had not slept very well last night. Of course, this did not tarnish his handsomeness at all. On the contrary, it added a wisp of decadent quality that he lacked on the usual days.
Luo Chenxi pursed her lips secretly upon seeing that.
Could Mu Yichen have been so angry from yesterday until now that it affected his sleep as well?
He was the president of a huge company. He could not be that narrow-minded, could he?
Obviously, the one that should have been mad was her. However, she was an open-minded person who did not only manage to sleep soundly but even had a dream…Hmm, it had been a stress-releasing kind of dream.
At the thought of this, she lost the courage to continue watching him anymore.
She was already having dreams like that after looking at him for two days. She wondered how many sins she would commit if she were to look at him for a few more days!
After all, Mu Yichen still loathed her that much. In consideration of her fragile life, it was best for her to stay away from him from now on. It would be even better if she stopped speaking to him.
Luo Chenxi did not even greet him and just turned her head away coldly. This made the anger within Mu Yichen’s heart grow even stronger.
Mu Yiling watched their abnormal reaction and cracked into a mocking smile. He took it upon herself to greet her, “Good morning, Sister-in-law.”
