Qiao Ruoxi tried her best to distance herself from him. “Even if it’s a stranger who’s in trouble like Mr. Mu, I might still help him. This is nothing. It’s very normal.”

“…”

Mu Yunli looked down at the cute little twirl of hair on her head. He thought in his heart that this woman was deliberately drawing a clear line between him and her. But that was useless. The woman that Mu Yunli had his eyes on was determined to win.

He did not bring any money with him and said that his phone was out of battery. It was so that he could use her as an excuse to see her again.

He did not expect her to be so smart as to block his escape route.

But this was not a problem for Mu Yunli. He never needed a reason to get close to someone.

Originally, Mu Yunli had thought that she was a benefactor who had saved his mother and wanted to treat her to a meal to thank her. However, because of Feng Yunan’s appearance, it had attracted his attention.

After understanding the importance of Qiao Ruoxi in Feng Yunan’s heart, he felt even more that Qiao Ruoxi might be the breakthrough he needed to defeat Feng Yunan and take down the Fengtian Group.

He would not give up such a good chess piece so easily.

“The subway is here,” Qiao Ruoxi said as the door opened. “Mr. Mu, let’s go up.”

The subway was crowded and there were no empty seats. Qiao Ruoxi tried to find a corner to stand in.

The tall man stood next to her and used his long arms to create a space between them, firmly covering her and preventing the crowd from squeezing her.

The man was too close to her, and the pressure he gave off was too strong. Qiao Ruoxi wanted to avoid him a little, but she realized that there was no way out.

Because the man was too handsome, the girls nearby kept looking at him and whispering about him. They said he was so handsome, like a model in a magazine.

Fortunately, Mu Yunli had just come to Yuncheng not long ago and the public did not know much about him. No one recognized him as the big boss of the Mu Group. The pressure in Qiao Ruoxi’s heart lessened considerably.

The trajectory was unstable, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. The distance between the two of them was only one fist.

Sometimes, when the subway came to a stop, Qiao Ruoxi would lean forward due to inertia and inevitably hit Mu Yunli’s chest.

The man’s chest was as wide as Feng Yunan’s. Even through the thin shirt, she could feel his firm muscles. They were very toned.

He held onto the railings with both hands and stood with his legs slightly apart. He was standing very steadily. No matter how the subway shook, he stood still like a mountain.

“I’m sorry. I lost my balance.”

The tip of her nose bumped into his chest again. Qiao Ruoxi apologized awkwardly.

Mu Yunli lowered his head and said teasingly, “It’s okay. You can eat my tofu as you wish.”

Qiao Ruoxi was speechless.

She could not chat with him anymore. He was becoming more and more indecent. When he joked, he was especially hateful.

To ease the awkwardness, Qiao Ruoxi took out her earphones and put them on, listening to music on her phone.

As he listened, Mu Yunli suddenly took off one of her earphones and put it in his own ear. He squinted his peach blossom eyes and said with a smile, “It just so happens that I’m bored too. Let me listen to your music.”

Qiao Ruoxi was speechless.

In fact, she hated it when people took away her things without telling her. But Mu Yunli had done it, and she couldn’t find any reason to dislike him.

Therefore, the two of them listened to music together. Each of them had one side of the earphones and looked no different from a normal couple.

Qiao Ruoxi felt wronged. If she had known, she would not have listened to music.

After a few stops, there were fewer passengers in the cabin. Some people got out and there was an empty seat beside them.
