Chapter 1370: Ill Feed It to You

Sitting in the s.p.a.cious interior of the car, Yun Xi took the towel from Mu Feichi and wiped the remaining tears from her face. She blew her reddened nose and removed her drenched snow boots from her feet before she crossed her legs under her in the backseat.

The SUV was one of the larger models. It was more attention-catching than the others, and it made more noise than its smaller counterparts. Mu Feichi would have never opted for it to be used if it was not for the emergency they were in.

The large model was too eye-catching, and it could become an easy target for the enemy in a matter of seconds.

Yun Xi had been inside the large SUV once or twice in the past. Both times were because of the threat of Crocodile. The larger SUV had more s.p.a.ce and more equipment to protect its riders in the event of an attack.

The large SUV coupled with the news from Mu Feichi that the Han family had finally fallen had provided a huge comfort for Yun Xi. She felt the tension within her body leave her in an instant.

Mu Feichi turned to the compartments and fetched out a thermos. A deep gingery scent filled the car as he poured its contents into a cup. Here, drink up, he instructed her as he pa.s.sed the cup to Yun Xi.

Yun Xi eyed the dark ginger tea, her mouth twitching in disgust. She covered her nose with the towel to avoid the smell of the ginger.

It was too late. Mu Feichi grabbed her wrist and shoved the cup into her hands. Drink up, if you fall sick I will be very angry.

Caught in Mu Feichis gaze like a deer in the headlights, Yun Xi cringed and carefully took a sip of the tea. She had drunk plenty of this in her last life to boost her vitality so she was used to the taste, but this did not mean she enjoyed any moment of it.

Oh! Spicy! The raw taste of ginger slipped down and burned her throat along its way. The spiciness was more than she could handle, and Yun Xi coughed hard in response.

She looked up and felt the gaze of someone on her like a stern teacher. One who wanted her to follow his instructions no matter what.

Yun Xi deliberated. After a long moment of hesitation, she put on a bright smile and moved closer to Mu Feichi. With a slight pout, she pushed the cup in her hands toward the man, You were drenched too, Young Commander! How about you take a sip as well?

Mu Feichi smiled in response to Yun Xis scheme and took a sip from the cup she was holding. As he did this, he retrieved the thermos and returned the bright smile Yun Xi had given him, Worry not, I still have the rest of this bottle!

Yun Xi gritted her teeth and remained silent. This man would not fall for any of her tricks.

Yun Xi sighed and decided to try her luck again. I dont want to drink this She knew this was probably hopeless, but she had to give it a try.

No way. Mu Feichi replied curtly, giving Yun Xi no room to wiggle herself out of the situation. If you dont drink it on your own, I will feed it to you.

As he spoke, Mu Feichi locked eyes with Yun Xi and took a sip of the tea from his thermos. His eyes suggested what he planned to do next, and Yun Xi immediately reacted by taking a mouthful of the tea from her cup. Even a fool would have gotten the hint of what Mu Feichi was about to do.

The thought of Mu Feichi feeding her the drink through her lips was enough to send Yun Xi reeling in embarra.s.sment. Her face got red at the thought.

He had gotten his point across, but Mu Feichi was still thinking that Yun Xi would find another excuse so he watched her keenly as she took sip after sip of the tea, his eyes glowing with fondness as he did.

Only after he had witnessed Yun Xi finish nearly half of the cup was Mu Feichi content to look away. The heat of the tea had left Yun Xis cheeks a light shade of pink and her lips had been colored a little redder by the spices. The shades of pink added color to her pale complexion and made Yun Xi look more attractive than ever.

Well, hows the taste? Its pretty good, right? He felt proud as he propped his head on his hand, his face filled with love as he watched Yun Xi take another mouthful of the tea,

The rain was getting heavier. Mu Feichi showed no signs of starting the car for their journey home. Instead, the two remained in the warm interior of the vehicle with the built-in heater sheltering them from the cold outside.

Yun Xi could still feel the ginger burning in her throat while the back of her mouth was full of the sweetness of the brown sugar. Mu Feichi seemed to be in a pleasant mood as this was the first time he had asked for Yun Xis opinion on one of his concoctions. Yun Xi pondered what reply would be appropriate.

Finally, a thought occurred to her. Yun Xi swallowed her pride and inched toward Mu Feichi with a smile, her eyes bright as she licked the sweet brown sugar on her lips and planted a sly kiss on Mu Feichis lips. After stealing the kiss, she pulled back instantly and pretended nothing had happened.
