Young Master Qin Keeps Coveting Me After I Beat Him Up Chapter 77 - The Cedar Fragrance Monopolized the Air

Chapter 77: The Cedar Fragrance Monopolized the Air

When the event ended, it was already 8:30 pm, so everyone hurriedly left the venue. In the commotion, no one was paying attention to anyone other than themselves.
Mufeng took the opportunity to say to Jiang Xun, “I’ll send you back to school.”
“There’s no need. I’ve already called for a car,” she refused. “The driver is waiting outside. If I just cancel the ride out of nowhere, I might get blacklisted, which will impact my ability to call for rides in the future.”
“Then I’ll go with you,” Mufeng insisted, frowning. “You’re a girl. It’s not safe for you to go back alone at night.”
Especially since Jiang Xun was dressed so beautifully today.!!
However, he suddenly thought of how Jiang Xun had once fought off a man who had had bad intentions for her in the middle of the night, so he added, “You’re wearing high heels today. It’s not convenient for you to fight.”
Jiang Xun pursed her lips. What he said made sense.
“But are you going to leave your car here?” she asked, hurriedly thinking of a reason to refuse.
“I’ll get my driver to drive my car to your school,” Mufeng immediately said as he accompanied Jiang Xun to her car. Before she could object, he got inside the car with her.
Helpless, Jiang Xun could only let him be. After a little while, she could hear Mufeng calling his driver to bring his car over to Beijing University.
Just then, she received a call from Wang Yicheng.
“Jiang Jiang, good news!” Yicheng’s excited voice came from the phone. “Yi Lan, the brand of the dress you’re wearing tonight, contacted me and said that they want you to promote their brand. If you were more popular than you currently are, they would have directly asked you to be their spokesperson.”
Now that Jiang Xun was an internet celebrity, she couldn’t be a spokesperson; after all an internet celebrity’s popularity was only slightly below that of a mainstream celebrity.
Yicheng continued, “However, as an old domestic brand, Yi Lan has never had a spokesperson before. It’s also the first time they’ve reached out to someone to promote them. This is a good start. The main reason they’ve selected you is that the dress you’re wearing tonight was instantly bought by netizens. Yi Lan thinks that your ability to display goods is quite good, so they would like to partner with you for a promotional campaign for now.”
“I think that if you can prove your ability to sell goods in the future, Yi Lan might even want to sign an endorsement contract with you,” said Yicheng. “For now, I want you to wear a few of their styles for promotion. The promotion fee is one million, which I think is acceptable. What do you think?”
Jiang Xun’s eyes lit up at the sound of that. “Sure.”
“Okay, then I’ll finalize the contract details with them tomorrow. If there’s no problem, we’ll sign it.” After Yicheng and Jiang Xun had settled the deal, he hung up the phone happily.
It was then that Jiang Xun remembered that she had yet to see her haters’ reactions. She had to know from which angle the haters were slandering her so that she could properly press their buttons and farm Merit Points.
In the end, she logged into her alternate account and entered the group, only to find that she was the only one left.
…What was going on?
After scrolling through the previous chat logs, Jiang Xun was horrified to find that the haters were no longer slandering her!
In this world where image and reputation ruled over all, didn’t these guys know how to stick to their own virtues?!
Jiang Xun was heartbroken at having lost a large number of haters.

The car stopped at the entrance of the university. Jiang Xun and Mufeng both got out of the car.
Mufeng took off his suit jacket and draped it over Jiang Xun, much to her confusion. “Why didn’t you bring a jacket for yourself?” he asked. The daytime was already cold, and the temperature at night would drop to the single digits.
“It wasn’t convenient,” she replied. She didn’t have an assistant or anything, so no one could carry a jacket for her. “Besides, I’m quite resistant to the cold.”
Jiang Xun tried to return the jacket to Mufeng. She could withstand this kind of temperature in her current physical state.
However, Mufeng refused. “Wear it. Just return it to me the next time we meet.”
At this moment, Mufeng’s driver arrived in his car. He got out of it and greeted Mufeng.
Mufeng turned back to take a look and nodded to Jiang Xun. “At this time, outsiders are not allowed to enter the school gate, so I’ll see you off here.”
After saying that, without giving Jiang Xun the chance to return his jacket, he headed back to his own car.
Jiang Xun finally had to give up protesting and head back to her dorm while wearing Mufeng’s jacket.
Although her body was now able to stand the cold without getting sick easily, it didn’t mean that she didn’t feel cold at all.
And so, she put on Mufeng’s jacket, squinted a little at the warmth, and sighed.
Mufeng sat in the car and saw that Jiang Xun’s body had relaxed from its previous tense posture. The corners of his eyes and lips were unconsciously painted with a thin smile.
It was not until Jiang Xun walked into the school gate and could no longer be seen through the gate that Mufeng instructed the driver to leave.

Mufeng’s jacket still seemed to carry his warmth with it.
Ever since Jiang Xun had put it on, she’d felt warm all over. Not even the wind at night could blow through it. The only thing the wind did was bring up wisps of Mufeng’s cedar fragrance from his jacket, as if Mufeng were walking beside her the entire time. The cold fragrance of the cedar seemed to monopolize the air around her.
The temperature combined with the fragrance from Mufeng’s jacket made Jiang Xun’s face inexplicably hot. Her ears were so hot that she felt a little irritated.
Mufeng’s jacket was a little too big for Jiang Xun, so her hands were hidden by the sleeves. When she raised her hands to touch her ears, only her fingertips peeked out past the sleeve.
Her slightly cold fingertip pinched her burning earlobe, but it didn’t help much; her ears were still very hot.
The fragrance coming from the suit jacket suddenly reminded her of the time when she and Mufeng stood together in the corner of the balcony during Jiang Yuexi’s birthday party. It could be said that they were somewhat intimate at the time.
At that time, the thick cedar fragrance on his body also lingered around her.
Jiang Xun exhaled and threw that image out of her head before entering her dorm room.
The moment she entered, her roommates crowded around her worriedly.
“Jiang Jiang, what did you experience outside?” Jiajia asked as the three of them surrounded her.
“Huh?” Jiang Xun asked, confused.
“Why are you wearing men’s clothes?” Daxin asked, “Who took advantage of you?”
“No.” Jiang Xun finally understood what was going on. “It was cold at night and I didn’t bring my jacket, so…”
Jiang Xun thought of Mufeng and felt that it would be hard to explain herself if she said it out loud, so she said, “So my manager gave me his jacket.”
The three roommates heaved a sigh of relief.
Haina said excitedly, “We watched the livestream tonight! Did you know that the moment you appeared on the red carpet, the bullet screens practically exploded! A lot of haters turned into your fans and called on their relatives and friends to vote for you!”
