Young Master Mu did not return home for the night.

Luo Chenxi lay on the bed as she tossed and turned around without getting a wink of sleep the entire night.

The next morning, she heard Zhuo Feng's voice coming from downstairs when she was combing the little dumpling's hair with dark circles under her eyes.

“Uncle Chen, the chairman spent the night in Secret Clubhouse yesterday, so he headed to the office in a hurry this morning. He instructed me to send a suit over.”

“Alright, I'll bring it to you right away.”

Butler Chen quickly went upstairs and almost b.u.mped into Luo Chenxi who was standing in the corridor.

“Young… Young Madam!”

He looked at Luo Chenxi in surprise.

Yesterday, the Young Madam had given them a day off, so he a.s.sumed that she wanted to be alone with the Young Master to deepen their relations.h.i.+p.

Who would have expected the Young Master to have never come home in the first place, and the Young Madam on the other hand to look so haggard…

Did this couple get into an argument?

Suddenly, Butler Chen's expression changed.

'Oh no, a.s.sistant Zhuo mentioned that the Young Master went to Secret Clubhouse last night. Could the Young Madam have overheard it?'

Luo Chenxi's expression remained normal like usual as she stepped aside. “Uncle Chen, don't mind me, please tend to your tasks.”

“Oh, alright, alright…”

Butler Chen felt relieved and quickly left.

Luo Chenxi's expression instantly darkened.

Mu Yichen actually spent the night at Secret Clubhouse yesterday…

Luo Chenxi guessed it was normal for him to do so. After all, last night, the man was like an arrow tugged completely backwards at the string of a bow, ready to soar at any moment.

She truly thought that Mu Yichen would go down on her right then and there without a care for her wishes. In the end, the man forcefully moved away from her instead, then instantly turned around and left the house.

Thus, it was only normal for him to head to places like clubs right after that, right?

On the other hand, what was there for Luo Chenxi to get upset about?

She was not even the real Mrs. Mu anyway!

Even so, she still felt extremely agitated for the rest of the day. She could not even focus and almost cut off her own fingers when she was tailoring her ready-made clothes.

Even until nightfall, she still had no idea how she was supposed to face Mu Yichen.

Judging by how angry Young Master Mu was, it was impossible for the two of them to return to the way things were.

The Young Master Mu who cooked noodles and modeled for her, might never ever appear again.

Thinking of this, Luo Chenxi felt a faint sourness rising from within her heart.

“Screw it. I'll just treat him as an untouchable superior that shouldn't be messed with and keep my distance!” She tried to convince herself.

However, Mu Yichen did not return home that night as well.

Even after a few days, Young Master Mu was nowhere to be seen.

Luo Chenxi's feeling of unease gradually faded bit by bit.

The little dumpling alone was enough to keep her company anyway. Unlike a certain man with heavy and weird mood swings, it would be best that he did not come back at all!

Three days later, Luo Anguo called again.

“Hey, Chenxi, how's the matter of the tender proposal coming along? I caught wind that Young Master Mu has gathered the higher-ups and held meetings for the past few days. The results should be out in two days.”

Luo Chenxi's expression darkened. “I've already brought it up with Young Master Mu. He told me that the Luo Family has already screwed up tons of projects given to them, so he's not going to let you in on this through backdoors. You'd best prepare yourself well if you really want this project, stop trying to achieve your goals through unethical means!”

Luo Anguo's tone immediately turned cold, “Luo Chenxi, what are you saying? If it weren't for the Luo Family, would someone like you be able to sit on the throne as the Young Madam of the Mu Family? Are you trying to cast aside your own family after marrying into a wealthy one? Don't you forget, Lu Wenjun is still lying in the hospital!”

Hearing Luo Anguo mention Lu Wenjun, Luo Chenxi could only forcefully stomach her anger.

“Young Master Mu has already rejected the request, what else can I do?”

“From the way I see it, I don't think you're even doing your best! I heard that Young Master Mu has been staying up all night for his work in the past few days. On the other hand, you as his wife, are so insensible that you did not even bother visiting him in his office! Of course he's going to refuse your request.”

Luo Anguo lectured Luo Chenxi and asked her to head to Mu Group to make a last ditch effort for this matter.

Luo Chenxi hesitated for a moment, then replied, “Alright then.”

All she needed to do was to make a trip to the Mu Group to put up a show for Luo Anguo. After all, he would not be able to tell if Luo Chenxi would actually mention the project when she got there anyway.

“I'm only doing this for Mommy. Whatever that man decides in the office has nothing to do with me!”

Luo Chenxi pursed her lips as she refused to admit that she secretly wanted to see Mu Yichen.

Looking at the time, lunch hours were approaching.

She went downstairs to the kitchen and personally cooked a few dishes and packed them into a lunch box.

Then, she asked Butler Chen to prepare a ride to send her to the Mu Group.

Butler Chen happily sent her off. “Young madam, take care. Be careful on the road!”

Seeing how the Young Madam and Young Master had gotten themselves into a cold war for so long, they really had the old geezer worried sick.

The Young Madam was finally willing to concede of her own accord. Butler Chen truly hoped that the Young Master would be willing to shrug off his prideful front, or his wife was really going to run away!
