At that moment, Sheng Yu was holding onto the woman’s slender wrist.
Although he had sensed her weak resistance, he feigned ignorance and did not let go.
“Xing Chen, I think that there’s something that… I need to explain to you.”
“What is it?”
Sheng Yu pursed his lips, as if he was thinking what he was going to say.
On the other hand, Luo Chenxi was so anxious that she could almost go mad.
‘Sheng Yu is usually a straightforward person, but why is he being so long-winded today?
‘If my King Of Jealousy sees this, he’s very likely going to be a tsundere again.’
At that thought, Sheng Yu said, “This competition… Is indeed unfair to you. However, Wu Lingshan is the daughter of a major shareholder here. So, if I don’t show her some form of bias at all, you will be easily schemed against by others even if you won. Hence, it’d be better for you if you won against her fair and square, forcing her to back down willingly.
“Moreover, if you win, I’ll be able to hand this series over to you directly. Otherwise, there are many senior designers who are yearning to be promoted, so it’ll be hard for them to willingly submit to a newcomer like yourself.”
Luo Chenxi was stunned when she heard this.
‘I thought Sheng Yu agreed to the competition purely because of the pressure he was facing.
‘However, I’m not dissatisfied with this outcome.
‘After all, winning based on actual skills has always been my favourite.
‘However, I didn’t expect Sheng Yu to actually silently take into account so many factors for me, which is simply unlike the legendary “Devil” of the Royal College of Art…’
Luo Chenxi was stunned for a few seconds because of her shock.
In the end, she glanced around and saw the back seat door of the Maybach opening up, revealing a pair of Italian handmade leather shoes from under the door.
Hence, she quivered and immediately shook off Sheng Yu’s hand.
“Thank you so much, Chief Sheng! Right then, my family is here to pick me up already, so I really have to go!”
This time, she ran exceptionally fast, so fast that the high heels under her feet did not seem to affect her lightning speed at all.
On the other hand, Mu Yichen had just gotten out of the car. After taking a few steps, he was pounced on by the woman who had sprinted towards him, causing him to lose his balance and crashed onto the car door.
However, his arms firmly wrapped around the woman and protected her in his arms to prevent her from falling.
Luo Chenxi said with a smile, “Mu Yichen, you got here so quickly! Come one, let’s go home now, we’re going to be able to have our dinner just in time.”
As she said that, she hugged Mu Yichen’s waist and was just about to push him into the car.
However, Mu Yichen merely coldly snorted and would not budge no matter how hard she tried to push him.
Hence, Luo Chenxi pursed her lips. “Why are you just standing there? Hurry up, let’s go, I miss Tang Tang.”
Mu Yichen lowered his head and glanced at the little woman’s slightly guilty face. Then, the scene of Sheng Yu grabbing her wrist flashed past his mind.
Hence, his eyes darkened. “Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you feeling guilty?”
“G… Guilty? I’m just here for work, so what’s there to feel guilty about?”
Mu Yichen then said, “Alright then, I’m going to go and thank Young Master Sheng before we leave.”
“What? Why are you going to thank him?” asked Luo Chenxi with her eyes widened.
Mu Yichen said coldly, “I’m going to thank him for taking such good care of my wife. Not only has he helped my wife during the competition, he even took the initiative to invite you to his company when he found out that you don’t have a job. So, it’d seem like the Mu Family are a bunch of rude people if I don’t even greet him after he’s done you such a huge favour.”
Luo Chenxi suddenly felt a little cold again as a cold sweat broke out on her back.
“Ahem, there’s… There’s really no need for that! Chief Sheng is a broad-minded person, so I’m sure he wouldn’t think much over such a small matter.”
“Really? You think he’s broad-minded, while I’m petty?”
“What… When did I say that you were petty? Stop jumping to your own conclusions!” Luo Chenxi almost bit her tongue off as she said that.
In fact, if she still couldn’t tell at that moment, the man was going to be overrun with jealousy and she would have wasted her time being Mrs. Mu for those months!
Suddenly, Mu Yichen snorted coldly and tightened his arm around her waist…
