Chapter 152 - If You Can Convince Me in Bed…

“Luo Chenxin! You tried so hard to please me today just for that real estate project?”

Mu Yichen’s words sounded like they came bursting through the gaps of his teeth.

Luo Chenxi became aware of the situation going south and backed away a tiny bit. “Um… My… dad purposely called me back home today and brought this up. So, I can’t really pretend that he never mentioned it, can I? Look, I don’t really know much about your work matters, so if you don’t want to agree to this, then…”

She subconsciously wanted to say—Let’s just forget about it.

However, the scene of Lu Wenjun in her last moments while lying on her deathbed appeared in her mind as the words reached the tip of her tongue.

All the words stopped dead at the back of her throat as she forcefully swallowed them back.

She had so much to say, but she could not bring herself to say anything!

Mu Yichen curled his lips coldly, “Then what?”

Luo chenxi softened her tone, “Can’t you really consider it? If the project gets handed over to the Luo Family, they will definitely do their best to achieve the best results.”

“Luo Chenxin, you have finally revealed your true colors! I truly thought that you are a changed person since you’ve been behaving so well recently! In the end, all it took was a big project worth tens of billions to tear down your masquerade?”

Mu Yichen’s dark eyes were bottomless, the sinister look on his face felt like a storm that brewed up around him.

“You do know how many projects I’ve given to the Luo Family, and how many times did they screw things up for me, right? On the account that you’ve been treating Tang Tang with all your heart recently, I’ve been turning a blind eye and was willing to overlook all of it. Now, you actually dare eye up the Cheng Dong real estate project?”

Luo Chenxi widened her eyes as she did not expect Mu Yichen’s outburst.

Luo Anguo mentioned nothing about all the chances that Young Master Mu had given to him, much less the trouble that he had caused Mu Yichen.

“I… I had no idea…”

However, Mu Yichen did not believe her at all.

“Enough, stop pretending. We all know very well the reason you pulled all kinds of tricks to marry into the Mu Family. It’s money, isn’t it? Isn’t that why you fawned all over me in the first place? Speaking of which, it’s my fault for treating you too well all this time, that’s why you forgot your place!”

Mu Yichen’s voice gradually calmed down, and the anger in his eyes seemed to have subsided a little.

However, such an expression in turn made Luo Chenxi’s heart skip a beat, then an indescribable panic struck her from within.

She felt like something was slipping away from her grasp.

She said anxiously, “No, it’s not like that, Mu Yichen! It’s not because of the money… it’s just… Well, I just want to thank you…”

This was not a lie.

When the semi-finals ended, she did intend to cook a big meal to thank Young Master Mu for all his help that he had given to her.

Of course, the real estate project was the main reason why she put in so much effort to prepare everything today, but not entirely. This is because the reason did include her own selfish motives, even by a tiny bit.

“Thank me, huh? You might as well say that you are being good to me because you like me.” Mu Yichen sneered.

Luo Chenxi was rendered speechless.

She almost could not breathe from the sour feeling stuck in her chest.

“I…”

Mu Yichen cut her off just as she tried to speak. “That’s enough, you don’t have to lie to me. I overheard everything you said to Tang Tang just now.”

The man’s sexy thin lips pursed into a straight line.

He recalled the line that this d*mned woman said—”I won’t like him”.

That line did not seem like a mere line to coax the little dumpling, it was actually her true words!

Well, should he not have known what kind of person Luo Chenxin was right from the start?

Rather than Mu Yichen himself, the things that she was truly after must have been the wealth that the man represented, and the glorious status of a Young Madam of the Mu Family.

Mu Yichen’s face turned cold bit by bit.

Luo Chenxi was already regretting her actions to the extreme.

She really did not know what Luo Chenxin had done to make Mu Yichen so wary of her!

A few minutes ago, Young Master Mu was still a gentle family man, but now, his face suddenly changed and he turned into that which everyone feared in the business world, the cold-faced demon king.

If only she had known things would turn out like this, she would not have brought up the matter about Luo Anguo’s request.

However, it was already too late for regrets.

Luo chenxi quickly said, “Um… I got the picture. Please pretend that I didn’t say anything… Ah!”

Just as she was about to get up, she felt something tightened on her wrist as Mu Yichen grabbed her and threw her onto the sofa.

Her vision went black as her chin got pinched and lifted, forcefully raising her head.

The man’s tall and strong body pressed on top of her, and his entire body was filled with a strong sense of oppression.

His deep black eyes coldly fell on her pale little face. “About that project, it’s not a complete no go, that is if you can convince me in bed…
