Young Master Qin Keeps Coveting Me After I Beat Him Up Chapter 87 - She Watched as He Got Closer

Chapter 87: She Watched as He Got Closer

“I didn’t prepare a mask.” Jiang Xun gulped down a mouthful of hawthorn juice in annoyance. “I was too careless.”

Mufeng took out a face mask from the storage compartment and handed it to her. “They’re all waiting for this episode’s guests.”

Jiang Xun nodded. Besides, there was no way they’d be waiting for her.

The hotel that the program team had booked for them was a five-star hotel in the suburbs of Sanshui City, which was near the film studio. It would take about three hours to drive from Beijing University to the hotel.

After eating, Jiang Xun felt a little sleepy. She took out a travel pillow from her bag and put it around her next, then promptly went to sleep.

*

When the car reached the entrance of the hotel, it was already 6:30 p.m.. At this time of the year, the sky was already dark even though it was still early.

Mufeng tilted his head slightly. The tip of his nose and lips almost touched Jiang Xun’s forehead.

Jiang Xun had fallen asleep on the road, and her head had unconsciously tilted to rest against the window. Mufeng had carefully moved her so that her head was resting on his shoulder.

Fortunately, he hadn’t woken her up, which made Mufeng heave a sigh of relief.

“Jiang Xun,” Mufeng called out in a low voice, “we’re here.”

The chauffeur blinked at him. Was the CEO using such a quiet tone because he was afraid of waking Jiang Xun?

Even now, as he watched Mufeng keep calling to Jiang Xun in a voice that kept growing quieter, the chauffeur began to grow more anxious on Mufeng’s behalf. He wanted to call out to Jiang Xun himself.

Fortunately, even though Mufeng was using such a soft voice, Jiang Xun was still woken up.

She’d been sleeping soundly the entire way and had completely forgotten where she was right now—she didn’t even know that she was resting against Mufeng’s shoulder.

She suddenly woke up and raised her head abruptly. Her movements were a little rough, and the tip of her nose and her lips ended up brus.h.i.+ng up against Mufeng’s lips in the process. She only stopped when her nose was touching Mufeng’s own.

Mufeng’s cedar fragrance seemed to stain her lips. She was so shocked that her mind went blank and she quickly retreated in shock. In a panic, she cried, “I really didn’t do it on purpose!”

Last time, Mufeng had misunderstood her just by touching her lightly. This time, he would definitely misunderstand her!

The chauffeur was stunned at the sight.

What was going on?!

Seeing that the back of her head was about to slam into the car window, Mufeng quickly reached out to protect the back of her head and pull Jiang Xun back down. However, the movement was so sudden that he couldn’t fully control his strength and ended up accidentally pressing her face into his chest.

Mufeng didn’t release her immediately. He paused for a few seconds and said, “I know you didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t be so nervous.”

After he said that, he let her go carefully, but held his arms loosely around her, afraid that Jiang Xun would pull back again and slam her head against the car window.

How could Jiang Xun not be nervous?

Her heartbeat was a mess right now, and she unconsciously bit her lip. She’d never had intimate contact with a man before, not even in her past life.

The only two times she had been intimate with a man was with Mufeng.

Jiang Xun’s face was flushed red. Her gaze unconsciously fell on his lips. Although it had just been an accidental kiss, she could still feel how soft and warm his lips were.

Even now, she could still feel them lingering on her own lips along with the cedar fragrance.

Jiang Xun’s mind was in a mess. She raised her hand and pressed her middle and index fingers against her temples. She was too embarra.s.sed to look at Mufeng and lowered her head to explain, “I forgot I was in the car.”

She remembered leaning against the window just now when she was sleeping. It was a habit that she had formed during the apocalypse; if she ever fell asleep in a car, she wouldn’t move around.

This time, however, she’d suddenly found herself leaning against Mufeng.

Jiang Xun pinched the s.p.a.ce between her brows and looked at him with a complicated expression. Did he think that she was taking advantage of him on purpose?

“It’s okay.” Mufeng sighed helplessly. “I know you didn’t do it on purpose.”

Or rather, he hoped that she would.

Mufeng shot a glance at the chauffeur, who quivered and hurriedly got out of the car, pretending to be busy with their luggage.

Mufeng could tell that the previous misunderstanding had left a deep impression on Jiang Xun, which caused her to worry about him misunderstanding her intentions whenever he even so much as got close to her.

It was then that Mufeng understood the feeling of someone who had shot himself in the foot. He wanted nothing more than to slap himself right now.

However, he couldn’t do anything about his past actions. He could only use his current actions to slowly get rid of Jiang Xun’s wariness.

Mufeng extended his hand toward Jiang Xun, who unconsciously moved away from him. However, her head ended up b.u.mping against the hand that he was using to s.h.i.+eld her head from the car window.

His palm was big and hot, almost big enough to wrap around the back of her head. It made Jiang Xun feel as if her entire body was covered by him.

Jiang Xun watched in a daze as Mufeng got closer and closer to her, and the back of her head was held by him. There was nowhere for her to run.

Even in the dimly lit car, Jiang Xun could clearly see his long and thick eyelashes.

Seeing that their noses were about to touch, Mufeng suddenly lowered his head.

There was a click. Before Jiang Xun could react, Mufeng said, “We should get out of the car.”

Jiang Xun felt her body relax. After a few seconds, she realized that her seatbelt had been unbuckled.

“Oh,” Jiang Xun said. She was a little out of it today.

She turned around and was about to open the car door to get out, but was pulled back by Mufeng.

“Wait a moment.” Mufeng’s hand was on her arm, and the heat from his palm was directly transmitted to her skin.

“Put on your mask,” Mufeng reminded, “or someone will recognize you. It’s not that I’m afraid of being seen walking together; it’s just that I still remember that the guests’ fans were posting a lot of unfriendly comments about you on Weibo.”

“Yes, yes, a mask.” Jiang Xun felt that she had to regain her composure no matter what. She couldn’t keep operating with her head in the clouds like this.

She quickly put on her mask. Mufeng had already put one on. In one motion, he slung Jiang Xun’s backpack around his shoulder and got out of the car, then went around to Jiang Xun’s side and opened the car door for her.

Jiang Xun got out of the car and found Mufeng dragging his 18-inch small suitcase with one hand and holding her backpack with the other. He said to her, “Let’s go.”

“Give me the bag.” Jiang Xun tried to take the backpack from him, only for Mufeng to move out of the way.

She had no choice but to give up.

As expected, there were many fans guarding the entrance of the hotel.

Seeing the two of them get out of the car, someone asked, “Are these two also guests?”

“Could one of them be my Youyou?”

“You fake fan, you can’t even recognize your favorite? This man is taller than Youyou.”

“Is that a female celebrity next to him”

“Only guests involved in the episode are in the hotel today. Xu Miaotong and Yu Mingshu are both here. Moreover, she’s taller than Xu Miaotong and shorter than Yu Mingshu.”

“It could also be Li Ruhan?”

“Li Ruhan is also already here. It’s not her.”

Mufeng and Jiang Xun weren’t aware of the fans’ muttering, however, and went to the front desk to check in together.

Since Mufeng was carrying her bag, it was convenient for Jiang Xun to take out her ID card from a small pocket in front of her bag.

Mufeng took her ID card and handed it to the front desk along with his own. “Please give the two rooms adjacent to each other.”
