Chapter 814: Treating Her Like a Child
Although Mu Feichi was Yun Yuanfeng’s junior by quite a few years, Yun Yuanfeng was still extremely courteous toward this Goliath because of Mu Feichi’s status and position.
He sat stiffly in his chair and was even more nervous than when he met his bosses.
Mu Feichi wasn’t talking either. After the water had boiled, he took out some top-quality Longjing to make tea.
His noble upbringing made his every move look exceptionally pleasing to the eye. In addition, his proud demeanor as a soldier made his normally ordinary motions look graceful and beautiful.
Yun Xi watched him, captivated. She relaxed her guard for a moment. Looking at handsome men really lifted a person’s spirits.
Mu Feichi was not saying anything, and Yun Yuanfeng was too nervous to think of anything to say. He kept glancing over at Yun Xi and giving her looks that asked her to diffuse the situation.
Yun Xi lowered her eyes for a long while before looking up again. She asked nonchalantly, “Young Marshal, how are your injuries? Are you feeling better?”
Last time, his injury had been fake, but this time he had really been injured, so there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with her question.
“I’m much better. Thank you, Miss Yun, for your care.”
“I’m happy as long as you are fine. I have only fulfilled my duties as a doctor.”
“I heard that Miss Yun has won an international accolade. I have yet to congratulate you. The president has told me that the award ceremony which Jun Country is holding for you is scheduled for next week. I’ll be hosting the event, so there is a good chance that I will be the one to present you with your trophy.”
“Is that so?” Yun Yuanfeng saw that they were chatting amicably and couldn’t help interjecting, “To be able to receive an award from the Young Commander personally is Yun Xi’s great honor!”
With just one topic, Mu Feichi had already successfully lured Yun Yuanfeng in. With a half-smile, he poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Yun Yuanfeng, as he said nonchalantly, “That’s why, Deputy Director Yun, this daughter of yours should be raised properly so as to not hinder her bright prospects. Don’t the men work hard so that the girls can lead a better life?”
Mu Feichi hinted so obviously that there was no way Yun Yuanfeng couldn’t understand.
He was telling Yun Yuanfeng in a roundabout way that he would covertly lend Yun Yuanfeng support. This made Yun Yuanfeng so happy that he didn’t know what to say.
“Yes, you are right. Naturally, the men work hard in order for the girls to have a comfortable life. Yun Xi is my pride and joy. It is a given that I will raise her properly.”
“I also hope that Jun Country will have more female scientists like Miss Yun in the future.”
Yun Yuanfeng nodded in agreement, then looked toward Yun Xi, “Do you hear that? Study well and bring honor to the Yun family and Jun Country.”
“…” Yun Xi rolled her eyes at Mu Feichi, then she put on a smile and nodded demurely.
He was obviously just giving Yun Yuanfeng some hope so that Yun Yuanfeng would pour all his resources into raising her, but at the same time he would not be able to use her like a chess piece.
When it came to talking to people, Mu Feichi really knew how to grab hold of their soft spots. In this area, Yun Xi was willing to admit defeat.
Mu Feichi steered their talk away from this topic, and the two of them started conversing about other things. Most of the time, Yun Yuanfeng spoke and Mu Feichi listened, while occasionally supplying some comments here and there.
They spoke about current affairs, politics, and the military. Yun Xi didn’t know much about these topics, nor did she dare to speak too much in case she made a mistake.
After all, she was still only a student. She knew that she had to be careful when speaking to someone in Mu Feichi’s position.
Like an audience, Mu Feichi watched Yun Yuanfeng carry on his solo act, while occasionally glancing over at Yun Xi.
The waiter served the dishes very quickly. Yun Xi stared at the bowl of glutinous rice balls that had been set in front of her, and she glared at Mu Feichi in frustration.
Of all the delicacies on the table, she was first served a bowl of sweet glutinous rice balls.
He was really treating her like a child.
