Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten

After dinner, Yun Xi got ready to leave, carrying the soup that the housekeeper had made for her, preparing to set out for Mu Mansion. As soon as she'd stepped out of the door, she heard a soft rustling sound behind her. She tilted her head ever so slightly and looked around, and a dark shadow rushed past her and disappeared behind a tree.

Yun Xi glanced over and snorted softly. Yun Chuhan's stalking skills were really not up to par. If she wanted to stalk her, at the very least, she needed to develop the skills first.

Before she left the residences, Yun Xi chatted with the guard at the gate for a long time. It was only when she saw a car drive up and park by the roadside that she quickly left the compound.

When Yun Chuhan ran out of the gates, all she was able to see was the silhouette of a car driving off under the dim yellow streetlights. However, she did not catch sight of any vehicle heading toward Tianyu Mountain. In the dark cold night, Yun Chuhan looked at the car disappearing and stomped angrily before turning around and walking back home.

It wasn't until she had left that Yun Xi came out of her hiding place in the bushes. Then she cast a cold look at the brightly lit gates of the compound, as she finally turned and walked toward the Tianyu Mountain sentry post.

Yun Chuhan had not given up on stalking her. It seemed as if Yun Chuhan really wanted to see for herself confirmation of Yun Xi's relationship with Mu Feichi. However, Yun Xi was not at all worried about her finding out. Even if she found out, there was nothing she could do to change a thing.

One of the guards at the sentry post gave her a lift up the mountain. As soon as the car reached the gates of Mu Mansion, she heard the loud sound of a helicopter's propeller coming from the helipad.

As she pushed open the car door and stepped out, she glanced at Li Zilan, Feng Rui, and Qi Yuan, who were standing at the entrance of Mu Mansion. The three of them were all suited up in camouflage uniforms and fully equipped with weapons. They looked as though they were about to head out for a mission.

Before Yun Xi had the chance to ask, she heard a sound coming from the courtyard. She turned around and saw another man dressed in the same camouflage uniform stepping out of the house. She quickly went over to him and asked with a tone of concern in her voice, "Did something happen?"

Seeing her in front of him, Mu Feichi froze for a moment, then he gestured toward the three standing by the entrance.

The three, who were staring at Mu Feichi and Yun Xi, waiting to witness some drama, looked reluctant as they slowly turned around and walked toward the helicopter.

"Why are you suddenly here? Shouldn't you be at the lab?"

Mu Feichi looked at the girl standing next to him, holding a thermos in her hand, looking as if she was here to give him a special care package.

"I just swung by my house, and my auntie made soup, so I thought of bringing some to you. Are you heading out for a mission?"

Mu Feichi nodded without explaining much. He raised his hand and patted her head, which was covered with a warm hat. The soft mohair hat blended with her hair, and her delicate face looked well-defined under the bright moonlight. She looked absolutely delicate and gentle.

Looking at her twinkling eyes, Mu Feichi felt his heart melt. If it weren't for the task at hand, he would have liked to stay home and enjoy the tranquility and warmth of this moment with her.

"I might be away for a few days. Make sure you be good while I'm gone. Try not to leave the lab if not absolutely essential. Stay safe and wait for me to come back, understand?"

Yun Xi blinked and nodded. She also knew that her safety was at risk these days, and she was glad that Team Leader A and the others followed her whenever she went out. Otherwise, she would stay put in the laboratory, researching the virus vaccine with a couple of experts and professors.

"The weather is cold,. Make sure to be careful when you're out on your mission. Take this with you." Yun Xi handed over the thermos she was carrying and advised him in a soft voice.

Mu Feichi held the warm thermos. He stretched out his hand and clasped the back of her neck, then lowered his head and kissed her cold lips passionately.

One kiss was all it took to make him feel reluctant to leave her side. After what seemed like forever, he finally moved away. He took a deep breath to suppress the surge of emotions in his chest and forced himself to turn around and leave quickly.

He was afraid that if he did not walk away right then, he might never want to leave her side again.
