Shen Yazhen felt her hand being grabbed by a certain force. She looked to the side and saw that a man of her age was grabbing her wrist. He glared at her and cursed, "Who are you?!" "Let go of me!"

The man let go of her hand and pulled Mu Yanfei behind him. He stared coldly at Shen Yazhen and her daughter with a faint smile that was not a smile.

"Aren't you bullying the weak a little too much?"

Shen Yazhen snorted coldly and said harshly, "What does it have to do with you?" She looked him up and down. He was dressed in a high-class, handmade suit. He exuded a dignified aura. She thought to herself that he was either a rich man or a noble.

Watching the scene of him protecting Mu Yanfei behind him, she started fantasizing about other things.

"Mu Yanfei, he can't be the potential customer you're looking for, right?" It seemed that Mu Yanfei had really found someone who could be her father for him.

The man smiled faintly. He didn't seem angry at Shen Yazhen's guess at all. His deep gaze was unfathomable.

"Mrs. Mu, you're going to be sued for slander."

The man's tone sounded indifferent, but it actually concealed a warning.

Mu Zhiqing was really afraid that she would be sued, so she quickly pulled Shen Yazhen away.

The man turned to Mu Yanfei and smiled. "It's alright now."

Mu Yanfei looked at him gratefully. "Uncle Dai, thank you."

Dai Ye was slightly surprised, "I didn't expect you to remember me."

"When I was young, I saw you at home, so I have some impression of you." Mu Yanfei explained that if it wasn't for him just now, who knew how many times she would have been slapped by Shen Yazhen.

Dai Ye nodded with a smile.

Chi Chengxuan finally got rid of the people who flattered him and looked around for Mu Yanfei. Since he didn't see where she was, he walked towards the balcony to try his luck. He didn't expect to actually see her here as a man.

His expression immediately became gloomy. He quickly pulled Mu Yanfei behind him, coldly looking at the man who was even older than him.

"Little Uncle?" Mu Yanfei felt that he must have misunderstood something.

She showed an apologetic smile to Dai Ye, then pulled Chi Chengxuan away from the balcony.

The two of them walked into the garden outside the hotel. Chi Chengxuan shook her hand away coldly, "Go hook when I'm not paying attention …" He refrained from saying the nasty words about how she went to seduce men.

"Little Uncle, he's my dad's friend from before, not what you think." Afraid of infuriating Chi Chengxuan, Mu Yanfei explained to him that he was now her financial backer. Before her relationship with him ended, she didn't want to make him angry or offend him. Otherwise, her life with her brother wouldn't end well.

"Your father's friend?" Chi Chengxuan looked at her in disbelief. He thought that he would have to get someone to investigate that person's background later.

"Yes." Mu Yanfei nodded firmly.

"At least you've temporarily passed." The moment he said that, Chi Chengxuan, who had sharp eyes, noticed that the dress on Mu Yan's chest was stained with red wine. His deep eyes were immediately filled with a layer of frost, "Who did it!"

"Huh?" Mu Yanfei didn't react for a while. What was he pointing at? She was stunned. Seeing Chi Chengxuan's gaze on her chest, she lowered her eyes and knew what he was referring to.

It might have been spilled on the balcony by Mu Zhiqing.

She didn't want to give him any more trouble with this kind of thing, so she casually found an excuse to go up, "I accidentally put this up."

Chi Chengxuan put his hand on the back of her neck and leaned close to her. Mu Yanfei thought he was going to kiss her here, so she slowly closed her eyes and waited for his kiss to fall.

After a long while, there was no sound at all.

When she slowly opened her eyes, she met his deep ice-cold eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt her hands clench uneasily beside her.

"You're lying!" He spat out these words in a cold tone.

Her eyes were wide open as she stared at him in confusion. How did he see that she seemed to be lying?

"You didn't drink at all." Chi Chengxuan reached out a hand and grabbed her waist tightly, then pulled her into his embrace and stared down at her condescendingly. "Tell me the truth!"

Suppressed by his powerful aura, Mu Yanfei struggled for a while before she finally opened her mouth and told him the whole story.

After Chi Chengxuan heard what she had to say, his indifferent and reserved face instantly turned dark. He actually called his woman a second-hand, and even acted as his own servant to frame her!

Mu Yanfei was worried that he would immediately rush in to argue with Qi Xinghuan and Mu Zhiqing. She spread her arms and tightly hugged his waist, persuading him, "Little Uncle, can you bring me back now?"

Ever since Mu Family had gone bankrupt, such an occasion was completely out of place for her.

"Alright." Chi Chengxuan could see what she was worried about. He could take his time to deal with the matter of getting her out of her worry, but he wasn't in a hurry.

He left the party with her in his arms, and together they walked in the direction of the parking lot.

One person noticed their intimate actions, and the corners of their mouths curled into a sinister smile.

After returning to the mansion, Chi Chengxuan told Mu Yanfei to take a shower first and change out of her dirty dress. Mu Yanfei did as she was told.

After showering, she would inevitably be forced to accept Chi Chengxuan's Suo Huan. Thinking of this, she stayed in the bathroom for a long time, not daring to come out.

Chi Chengxuan, who had been sitting on the sofa and waiting for her for almost half an hour, still hadn't seen her come out. He couldn't help but frown, worrying that something had happened to her in the bathroom.

He got up and walked to the bathroom door and knocked.

Mu Yanfei, who was getting ready to put on her clothes, suddenly panicked when she heard the knock on the door. She dropped her pajamas on the floor, getting wet. This made her panic even more.

The knocks continued to knock on the door. Mu Yanfei didn't dare to make any noise, so she seemed to be at a loss as to what to do.

Chi Chengxuan, who was standing outside the door, did not get any response from Mu Yanfei. He thought that something had happened to her, so he forcefully twisted the door handle and could not open it. He shouted, "Fei Fei, Fei Fei, what's wrong?"

Mu Yanfei saw the door handle twisting non-stop and was worried that Chi Chengxuan would kick the door open in the next second. She frowned and said with a hanging heart, "I'm inside."

Chi Chengxuan let out a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "Why didn't you say anything just now?"

"I …"

Mu Yanfei stared at the wet pajamas on the ground in frustration.

"You what? If you don't come out, I'll kick the door open. "
