1741: Arrogant Woman

Arrogant Woman

The car stopped at the gate of the residential compound, and Yun Xi alighted. She then walked to the other side of the car and looked at the man still sitting inside. "It's getting late, so I won't go back to Mount Tianyu."2

Mu Feichi turned his head and looked into her bright eyes under the dim light. He smiled and teased her, "Why? Are you planning to let me sleep alone tonight?"

Yun Xi shrugged and smiled innocently, "If you don't want to sleep alone, you can come and try getting into my room through the windows at midnight!"

"Alright!" Mu Feichi answered as if he was just waiting for her to say that. He nodded as he rolled up the window and instructed the driver to drive back to Mount Tianyu.

Yun Xi stared blankly at his smug look and realized she could have fallen for his ruse to trick her into saying that!

Turning around, she looked up at the dim lights on both sides of the roads in the residential compound. This place didn't carry a lot of her memories. Even if there were any, she could only remember walking further away and getting stronger in the past two years.

Yun Xi stood at the door and pressed the doorbell. The housekeeper ran over to open the door when she saw that it was Yun Xi.

"Young Miss, you're back!" The housekeeper spoke as she was opening the door. "Your father has brought a woman home. The woman looks pregnant and is definitely here to chase the legitimate wife away! But since the man has already divorced his wife, she can save her effort!"

Yun Xi couldn't help laughing. The housekeeper must have recently watched many family soap dramas to come up with such a storyline.

"Young Miss, you must be careful. I can tell you that it won't be easy to deal with this woman! She is just a few months pregnant and is already acting like an Empress Dowager. The whole family had to give in to her and serve her. The Old Master was furious!"

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows upon hearing that. She was surprised that the woman didn't even put up an act on her first visit to the house!

"Oh? She's already so arrogant on her first visit?"

"Yes! Second Madam did not bother to be nice to her. She may be pregnant, but what's so great about that?"

"She might see herself as a great person now. After all, the baby she's having now could be my father's only son in this life!"

Yun Xi sneered, and she stopped herself at the door before entering. She then closed her eyes, and when she opened them once again, the sharp look in her eyes had vanished. What was left behind was a sense of calmness and an incomprehensible gentle expression on her face.

Before stepping into the living room, Yun Xi glanced around and saw her second uncle and aunt. There was no sign of her grandfather, probably because he wasn't in a good mood. As for Yun Chuhan, she definitely knew what would be best for her now. So instead of hiding in her room to study, she obediently sat there in the living room, reading a book.

Yun Yuanfeng sat next to his lover and would bring her whatever she asked for. Looking at him, he looked like a loving and considerate husband.

Yun Xi smirked a little and walked into the living room. Yun Yuanfeng and Yun Chuhan looked up at her almost simultaneously upon hearing her footsteps.

They were both probably waiting for Yun Xi to get home. Yun Yuanfeng wanted her to meet his mistress. As for Yun Chuhan, Yun Xi could easily guess what was on her mind.

After all, this woman happened to be pregnant with a boy. And their father had been hoping for a son for over ten years. Once the child is born, he will definitely threaten her status in the Yun family.

"Eldest sister, you're back!" Yun Chuhan stood up as soon as she saw Yun Xi. Then, with a rare smile on her face, she said, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't be back for dinner? We thought you wouldn't be coming home!"

Yun Xi looked at Yun Chuhan, trying to fawn over her, then turned to Yun Yuanfeng. She chuckled and said, "I was with the Young Commander. We visited Old Master Mu for the Chinese New Year in advance. However, he wanted me to stay for dinner, so I couldn't get back in time."

After saying that, Yun Xi deliberately asked another question, "Dad, you wouldn't blame me for it, will you?"

"The Old Chief is an elder, and it would also be your honor if he asked you to stay for dinner. So many would have wished for that! Why would I blame you for that! I just wanted you to meet Auntie Lin. We can always have dinner together anytime in the future."
