Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me-Chapter 1417: He Really Spoils Her [Ling Xing]

"Young Master Bai!" Mu Bei raised his glass.

He originally wanted to say something about what just happened, but after glancing at Mu Xing, he thought better of it.

"No need to be so formal."

Mu Bei noticed Mu Xing’s awkward expression and could only smile.

"By the way, Mu Xing, did you need to talk to Young Master Gu about something earlier?" He turned to look at Mu Xing.

"There was a person suspected of being a woman in disguise trying to enter, but they were stopped by the bodyguard. Someone has been sent to investigate, but we’re not sure who it is for now."

Although it wasn’t a particularly tumultuous season, it’s better to be cautious.

"A woman in disguise," Mu Bei nodded, "Alright, I got it. I’ll go talk about it. Oh, Mu Xing, think about what I said earlier. Don’t carry too much psychological burden, go do what you want."

After Mu Bei left, Mu Xing downed a glass of champagne in one go.

As she was about to grab another, Bai Lingyun’s large hand reached over and held it down.

"Drowning your sorrows in alcohol? What’s bothering you?"

"Why do you care so much," Mu Xing snapped irritably.

She wasn’t in a good state, especially in front of Bai Lingyun.

Everyone thought their relationship was complex, but in reality, they were just ordinary friends. She was pretending to be his girlfriend in front of Madam Gu as a favor.

"Young Master Bai, long time no see."

Before Mu Xing could speak, someone approached Bai Lingyun to greet him.

"It seems you’re about to have a happy occasion too, quite unexpected. When I first heard you had a girlfriend, I thought it was just some random rumors from the magazines, but it turns out to be true. This young lady seems unfamiliar, aren’t you going to introduce her, Young Master Bai?"

Mu Xing wanted to leave immediately, but as she tried to step away, her wrist was tightly held in a seemingly affectionate grip.

"Don’t ask pointless questions, can’t you see she’s in a mood?" he said lazily, with a slightly helpless tone.

The other man laughed heartily, "She’s even giving you a hard time, you must really spoil her."

"I should," Bai Lingyun replied with a light smile.

Mu Xing wanted to leave again but was still tightly held by him.

Even though her leg was injured and she wasn’t as strong as before, if she wanted to break free, it wouldn’t be difficult.

But this was in a public place, and she hesitated.

During this moment of hesitation, she was unexpectedly pulled into his arms.

"Hey, you..."

"Young Master Bai really dotes on you, I haven’t seen him act like this with anyone else," the man, in his thirties, smiled and raised his glass to Mu Xing, "When you celebrate, don’t forget to invite me."

Mu Xing felt wronged, "I..."

She no longer knew how many times she had been rendered speechless.

Especially after today, anyone who saw the bouquet earlier probably wouldn’t understand her explanations.

"Certainly," Bai Lingyun answered calmly.

"Well then, I won’t disturb you any further."

"Mm, let’s talk next time."

After the person who greeted them finally left, Mu Xing looked up at him, wanting to angrily ask when this pretending would end.

But remembering that he had taken care of her for several months, she thought it would be ungrateful not to help him out a little.

She didn’t know why, but whenever she thought of pretending, it made her particularly uneasy, and she really didn’t want to pretend with him.

Mu Xing took a deep breath, "Bai Lingyun, I need to talk to you."

His eyes sparkled like stars, quietly waiting for her question.

Just then, someone else approached.
