Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten Chapter 1552 - Guard

Chapter 1552: Guard

Mu Feichi’s car stopped outside the gate at the same time as Yun Yuanfeng caught up with Yun Xi. She stopped and turned to look at her father. She didn’t even have to ask to know that her father had guessed that the Young Commander would be picking her up and had decided to follow her.
“Dad, do you need anything else?” Yun Xi turned around as Yun Yuanfeng took a glance toward the backseat. It was evident that he wanted to have a chat with Mu Feichi.
However, Yun Xi was no longer the same person that she used to be. Yun Yuanfeng would be wrong to think that he could ask for or force favors from Mu Feichi as his future father-in-law.
“Huh? Oh! N…nothing. Just…the Lunar New Year is just a few days away. It’s going to be crowded everywhere. Be careful when you are outside.”
“I will.” Yun Xi nodded and heard the door open behind her. She turned and saw Mu Feichi had already gotten out of the car.
A smile immediately appeared on her father’s face. “Young Commander…” Yun Yuanfeng reached his hand out, trying to shake Mu Feichi’s hand.
The Young Commander ignored the father’s gesture and turned to look at Yun Xi. He patted her shoulder and said, “Wait for me in the car.”
“Okay!” Yun Xi smiled and hopped straight into the backseat.
Yun Yuanfeng was left hanging for a while before he pulled his hand back with an awkward smile on his face. He would never have had to suffer such humiliation from someone who was a generation younger than he was if that person did not have such a high status.
Mu Feichi was pretty much royalty, and not a single soul in Jingdu would dare to act all high and mighty in front of him.
“Young Commander, thank you for taking care of our Yun Xi…” Yun Yuanfeng could only struggle to say a simple sentence because of the immense pressure he felt coming from the young man in front of him.
“Mr. Yun, I have a word for you.” Mu Feichi took a folded piece of white paper out of his pocket and handed it to Yun Yuanfeng. “You are a smart person. I’m sure you’ll know what it means.”
“Young Commander…” Yun Yuanfeng looked at the paper in awe. When he raised his head, Mu Feichi had already entered his car and closed the door.
After a moment of silence, Yun Yuanfeng finally opened the paper Mu Feichi had given him.
On it was a single word: guard.
He was utterly confused by it, not understanding what the Young Commander’s intended message was.
Either the Young Commander was telling him to protect his daughter or that he should stay put if he wanted to be successful.
The word had many meanings to it and there were many ways to interpret it. Mu Feichi had decided to not explain it and let Yun Yuanfeng figure the meaning out on his own.
Yun Yuanfeng had to admit that despite being young Mu Feichi was a man who was far out of his reach. He raised his head and looked at the car that was leaving as he gripped the paper tightly in his hand.
If Mu Feichi wanted him to protect Yun Xi, and, in turn, he would be rewarded with success and riches, then he wouldn’t mind doing it.
Back in the car, Yun Xi turned to look at Mu Feichi before grabbing his shoulder and sitting herself down in his lap.
Despite having an innocent look, Mu Feichi could see the tiredness in her eyes, and it pained him.
The man let out a sigh and wrapped the lady in his arms. “Drive slower,” he ordered his driver.
“Sir!” the driver replied and slowed the car down before lowering the board that separated the front from the backseat.
With her head resting on his shoulder, Yun Xi asked, “What did you give my dad?”
“A word.” Mu Feichi leaned his back against the seat while his hands gently moved around Yun Xi’s body.
“What word?”
“Guard. I’m sure your dad is smart enough to know what I mean.”
Yun Xi immediately understood what the word meant.
“My dad should be happy to personally receive something from the Young Commander.”
What Mu Feichi had intended to tell Yun Yuanfeng was to protect what he had and not to let greed take over. That was the only way that the father could get the life he wanted.
