Yi Yi was unsure of the meaning behind Mu Nanxun's question. Didn't he still have Xia Bingqing? He was entangled with Xia Bingqing, and she couldn't bring herself to tell him she liked him.
Mu Nanxun waited for a long time but didn't receive a reply from Yi Yi. He suddenly felt anxious, and this uncertainty made him uneasy. On the surface, he still appeared relaxed and carefree, but in reality, he was terrified. He worried that Yi Yi's answer wouldn't be what he wanted to hear, that she would say she had no feelings for him, or that she would say she actually liked Chen Dudu.
Faced with Yi Yi's silence, Mu Nanxun grew increasingly uneasy and anxious. He couldn't help but ask, "Answer me, do you like me?" After thinking for a moment, he added, "I'm warning you, your answer can only be 'yes'!"
Yi Yi: "..." Is this a confession or a threat?
"Mu Nanxun, my answer doesn't matter at all, because you already have Xia Bingqing," Yi Yi replied earnestly. She was a principled spirit fox and would never do something like stealing someone else's love.
"Xia Bingqing?" Mu Nanxun stood there and realized what Yi Yi was struggling with. He breathed a sigh of relief and patiently explained, "Xia Bingqing and I have nothing going on. I've long suspected that her blindness was fake, but at the time I needed time to verify it and didn't jump to conclusions. That doesn't mean I don't trust you. Today, I've verified it clearly. I didn't intentionally drive you away; it's just that... I discovered assassins lying in ambush at my doorstep and was worried about implicating you, so I didn't stop you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have escaped from me! Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Looking back now, Mu Nanxun deeply regretted driving Yi Yi away. If it weren't for him, Yi Yi wouldn't have been so heartbroken as to go to Chen Dudu, and that beast wouldn't have had the chance to lay a hand on her. Chen Dudu, he'll get his hands on him sooner or later!
Yi blinked. Her little brain was so clever; what couldn't she understand? So, all the things that had made her unhappy lately were just a misunderstanding. Suddenly, she felt a sense of relief, and the gloom of the past few days vanished instantly. If only they had said so earlier! She wouldn't have had to be sad and upset for so long, shed so many tears, and miss out on so much delicious food.
"It's your turn to speak." Mu Nanxun was still waiting for Yi Yi's answer.
Yi grinned, her eyebrows curving into crescents, her eyes sparkling brighter and more dazzling than the stars in the sky. She quite enjoyed seeing Mu Nanxun so anxious. She pretended to think for a long time, struggling with her thoughts, before slowly uttering two words, "It's alright."
"Not bad?" Mu Nanxun silently repeated, what kind of terrible answer was that?
"Yeah, it's alright, so-so, something like that." Yi Yi laughed carefree, finding it so amusing to see Mu Nanxun's frantic state.
Mu Nanxun's face darkened. This was outrageous! He was the heir to the Mu Group, a prodigy since childhood, and he always strived for perfection in everything he did. To say "okay," "so-so," or "almost" was an insult to his character. How could he tolerate this?
"I'll give you another chance to rephrase your words."
"Even if you gave me ten more chances, it would still be okay, so-so, just about the same... um..."
The unfinished words were swallowed up by a long, tender kiss...
