Chapter 31 Quarrel

When he returned home, Xi Mufeng saw Xi Mingyu was sitting on the couch as if he had been waiting for him. When he saw him enter, he frowned at him and said, "Whether you like Mo Zhuyang now or not, you can't burn the bridges. We have to be friends with the Mo family. You're not a kid anymore, I hope that you will not cause trouble for us."

"Oh, so you wanted me to marry her just to benefit you guys?" Xi Mufeng said sarcastically. All they cared about are the interests of this family. They do not care about him at all.

"Nonsense. The Mo family has been friends with us for ages, and we watched Yangyang grow up. So what are you exactly unsatisfied with? You better not have been seduced by someone out there." Xi Mingyu gave Xi Mufeng a stern look.

Xi Mufeng paused for a moment, then said, "No."

"No better. Your priority right now is your studies, but you promised me that if you don't get into a college that satisfies me, you'll go into the army. "

"I remember that!" Xi Mufeng said coldly. He turned around and went upstairs, no longer paying any attention to Xi Mingyu.

After returning to his room, he sat quietly on his bed, recalling what Xi Mingyu had just said. He frowned deeply. He couldn't let Xi Mingyu find out about Xiang Lianyi's existence, it wouldn't be good for Xiang Lianyi!

He couldn't help but think, could it be that Mo Zhuyang had said something?

Otherwise, why would Xi Mingyu bring this up?

He fidgeted and scratched his hair.

It had been a week since school started, and Wu Wenli had finally come to school. She had adapted quickly to her new environment, and because she was pretty and sweet, many of her classmates had a good impression of her. So far, people still didn't know about her relationship with Xiang Lianyi.

Lately, she would always hear gossip about Xiang Lianyi from her classmates. The most talked-about thing between them was her relationship with Xi Mufeng.

In everyone's eyes, they are already a golden couple.

Wu Wenli was crazy jealous in her heart. Although Xiang Lianyi had always been good-looking, she wasn't always so eye-catching. Now, Xiang Lianyi was living the life Wu Wenli had always wanted.

She remembered Mo Zhuyang's proposal and started to contemplate it.

After Xi Mingyu had warned Xi Mufeng, he began to think about how to protect Xiang Lianyi. For someone like Xi Mingyu, it would be too easy to take care of the Xiang family.

He couldn't expose Xiang Lianyi to danger.

He began to look forward to growing up and getting stronger. At least be strong enough to oppose his father.

That is the only way to protect the person he likes.
As if she had a premonition, Mo Zhuyang began to approach Xi Mufeng frequently at school, and even though Xi Mufeng was cold towards her, she still persisted.

The other students all watched this drama unfold eagerly, however, the other main character in this drama, Xiang Lianyi, had yet to make any moves. Some of the students have already started to make a bet on who will be the one that Xi Mufeng ends up with.

Li Tiantian began to feel anxious for Xiang Lianyi. "Lianyi, what happened to you guys? How come Xi Mufeng hasn't come to look for you lately, and, Mo Zhuyang..."

Xiang Lianyi's hand stopped in the middle of writing down the solution to a question.

She also wanted to know what had happened.

Recently, Xi Mufeng had been acting very distant from her. They stopped having lunch together, though he would occasionally walk her home.

Even Xiang Qingsong noticed and asked her, "Sister, did you have a fight with brother Xi?"

What could she say?

She could only comfort her brother that they were on good terms.

And in fact, she was very irritated, and she does not like feeling irritated. She prefers to say whatever she was thinking of, but Xi Mufeng was the opposite and didn't say much.

Why did his attitude towards her change so quickly?

"Lianyi, say something, won't you? What the hell happened with you guys?" Li Tiantian's voice pulled back her drifting thoughts.

"It's nothing, Tiantian. I've caused you to worry. Don't worry, we're fine." Xiang Lianyi wasn't sure whether she was comforting Li Tiantian or herself.

On the other side, Mo Zhuyang was eagerly following behind Xi Mufeng. "Mufeng, my mom made this cupcake by herself. Do you want to try it? She said that she remembers how much you loved it when you were little." She smiled sweetly.

Unfortunately, Xi Mufeng didn't react at all. He glanced at her faintly and didn't say whether he would eat it or not. He simply ignored her.

Mo Zhuyang had already gotten used to it and didn't really care. She kept going and said, "Mufeng, let's go home together tonight. Aunt Xu is back today! I have an appointment with her, I'm going to see her."

Xi Mufeng paused when he heard this. He frowned and said, "I have something else to do, you can go by yourself." He had an appointment with Xiang Lianyi to take her home tonight. Because of him, their interactions had been greatly reduced. They stopped seeing each other as often and he did not want to miss this opportunity to see her.

"But..."

Mo Zhuyang watched as Xi Mufeng walked further and further away and slowly stopped walking.

Forget it, Uncle Xi would come to pick them up anyway, and then...

In the evening after school ended, Xiang Lianyi stood in front of the school and waited for XI Mufeng.

She did see Xi Mufeng, however, he was walking out with Mo Zhuyang. He only gave her a small glance, then he got into a car with Mo Zhuyang and left.

Oh!

I see how it is, Xi Mufeng!

Xiang Lianyi felt her inside burning. However, she was more angry than she was upset.

Yes, angry.

No matter what the reason was, Xi Mufeng better give her an explanation for this. She cannot accept the fact that he just started to ignore her for no reason.
