I Am Her Secret Beauty and Strong Alpha (GL) - Chapter 16

Mu Xi reacted the fastest. She immediately realized that her face had caused trouble again. This friend of Nan Xi must have seen her former acquaintance and therefore mistook her for that person.

That’s right, the one also named Mu Xi who looked just like her…

She wanted to explain to Tong An’an that she wasn’t that person, but Nan Xi raised her hand to stop her as soon as she opened her mouth.

Nan Xi looked at Tong An’an with a mix of surprise and joy. Tong An’an’s shocked expression made her feel particularly close, like a piece of duckweed meeting a whole lotus pond.

She eagerly asked, “You still remember her?”

Tong An’an faced Nan Xi, looking as if Nan Xi were a ghost.

“H-how could I forget?” Tong An’an lowered her voice and pulled Nan Xi aside with a look of disappointment and anger. “Even though I was studying abroad at the time, I was still so angry when I heard the news! Nan Xi, have you really thought it through to get back together with her? That scumbag who left you without a word…”

The deep face in front of the luxury car instantly brought back memories of five years ago for Tong An’an.

Before going abroad for school exchange, Nan Xi and Mu Xi were deeply in love, and their few friends were happy for them. But not long after she left, she heard the news of Mu Xi’s disappearance.

At that time, Tong An’an would rather believe that Mu Xi had fallen into the water than believe that she had abandoned Nan Xi and flown away.

Those two were clearly so good together, so in love, how could Mu Xi suddenly disappear without any warning?

But later, Nan Xi was so heartbroken that she immediately went abroad. When Tong An’an returned to A University, the people around her kept silent about it, as if nothing had happened, so she had no choice but to believe it and remain silent as well.

The more Tong An’an thought about it, the angrier she became, especially thinking that they were now back together.

With Nan Xi’s qualities, what kind of alpha couldn’t she find? Mu Xi was capable, but she had no family background at all. How dare she treat Nan Xi like that, and Nan Xi was even willing to get back together with her…

Oh no, had she encountered some ultimate love-brain?

Seeing Tong An’an’s expression gradually become fierce, her almond-shaped eyes staring at Mu Xi with fire, as if she would rush over and slap her twice in the next second—

Mu Xi heard everything she said and saw the angry look she gave Nan Xi. For the sake of the young lady’s reputation and dignity, and for her own reputation and personal safety—

She decided to speak.

“This lady, you’ve misunderstood. I am Nan Xi’s housekeeper, Mu Xi, not the one you think…”

That one…?

It wasn’t convenient for Mu Xi to define that person’s identity, after all, Nan Xi was still beside her, and Nan Xi’s attitude towards that person was still ambiguous.

Thinking of Nan Xi, Mu Xi secretly glanced at her. Nan Xi didn’t show any displeasure at her insistence on speaking, but was looking down in thought, not even noticing the interaction here.

Taking the good opportunity, Mu Xi quickly added, “I met the young lady for the first time this year.”

Actually, it was this month.

Tong An’an was once again confused.

She looked at Nan Xi who was deep in thought, and then at Mu Xi who had a sincere and humble attitude, looking back and forth several times.

Suddenly, she understood and, in her excitement, disregarded Nan Xi’s dislike of physical contact, patting Nan Xi on the shoulder.

“So that’s how it is, Nan Xi! Good job! You’re really something!”

Mu Xi was stunned.

Nan Xi was also startled by the pat. “Senior Tong, what?”

“Oh, I get it, a substitute, right?” Tong An’an smiled slyly, her respect for Nan Xi increasing threefold. “It’s okay, anyway, your family pays her salary, you can do whatever you want.”

It had to be said that Nan Xi was still too impressive. She originally thought Nan Xi was a delicate young lady omega, but she didn’t expect her to be so able to face her inner feelings and directly rename her housekeeper Mu Xi.

Or maybe it wasn’t a name change, but a code name, a code name.

As for the face, it would be more than enough for Nan Xi to spend some money to get someone to have plastic surgery. Although that Mu Xi was a bit of a jerk, it wouldn’t be a loss for someone else to have her face. She really envied this housekeeper for being able to take advantage of her job.

Directly arranging the person she hated the most to be by her side as a servant, even taking her to and from meals, wasn’t this the greatest humiliation? On the one hand, it compensated for the lack in her heart, and on the other hand, it could also help her become desensitized. Maybe Nan Xi could get over that relationship soon.

A double whammy!

No matter how hard Nan Xi and Mu Xi racked their brains, they would never have imagined that Tong An’an had already imagined a whole drama of a yandere revenge in her mind.

The two of them could only stand there in a daze, watching Tong An’an walk away, and even heard her wave her hand saying, “Don’t let me bother you…”

What kind of people does our young lady associate with?

Mu Xi said dryly, “Young lady, I already explained my identity to her. I don’t know why it’s still like this. I’m sorry.”

“…” Nan Xi smoothed her hair and said helplessly, “It’s okay, I don’t know what she means either. Let’s go.”

Mu Xi opened the rear car door for Nan Xi, and Nan Xi got into the car.

On the way back, Nan Xi didn’t keep staring at Mu Xi anymore. Instead, Mu Xi occasionally glanced at Nan Xi’s appearance in the rearview mirror.

Tong An’an had just mentioned Nan Xi’s sad past, and she was afraid that Nan Xi would be unhappy.

However, Nan Xi didn’t show any emotions like “sadness,” “sulking,” or “worry.” Mu Xi even felt that she was a little happy, although she didn’t know what she was happy about.

“Housekeeper Mu,” Nan Xi’s voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of imperceptible smile, “won’t it be dangerous if you keep looking in the rearview mirror? You’re driving.”

Mu Xi was ashamed and apologized to Nan Xi. After that, she didn’t dare to be distracted anymore and focused on driving the car back to the Nan family.

After Nan Xi got out of the car, Mu Xi apologized to her again, “I’m sorry, young lady, I shouldn’t have been distracted while driving.”

“Hmm, just looking a couple of times doesn’t really count as being distracted, it’s okay.”

Nan Xi casually overturned what she had said in the car.

“Ah.”

Mu Xi looked at her blankly, the expression of someone who had been teased.

Nan Xi explained to her in a good mood, “I just said that because I didn’t want you to keep peeking at me. You should be aware that you have the face of a criminal, Housekeeper Mu.”

A criminal…

“But the young lady doesn’t seem to treat her as a criminal.” Mu Xi blurted out.

As soon as these words came out, Nan Xi’s face immediately darkened. No matter how bright the streetlights in the Nan family’s garden were, it was difficult to see how unhappy she was.

Mu Xi regretted her slip of the tongue and immediately began to bow and apologize, trying to defend herself, “I’m sorry, young lady. Because my work hours for today have ended, and I’m about to go on vacation, my attitude became lax for a moment. Please forgive me.”

“It’s okay.”

Nan Xi coldly uttered these three words, then took a step towards Mu Xi. The clicking sound of her expensive leather shoes on the ground clearly transmitted to Mu Xi in the quiet air.

Nan Xi looked into Mu Xi’s eyes from below, with an undeniable and unquestionable gaze.

“However, it seems to me that Housekeeper Mu has some misunderstandings about me.”

“What…?” Was it about the criminal theory?

Although Mu Xi couldn’t say it at this moment, she always felt in her heart that from Nan Xi’s attitude towards her, it could be seen that she clearly still deeply missed that former acquaintance, and probably hadn’t let go of it in the past five years.

Nan Xi just didn’t admit it herself, even if the other person had really done something very excessive to her.

Leaving without saying goodbye.

When Mu Xi heard Tong An’an say this, she couldn’t help but become curious about how happy Nan Xi and that person were when they were in love, to love so much that even such a thing could be forgiven and still be missed.

“Housekeeper Mu, I think you’re provoking me.” Nan Xi kept staring at her, and no subtle change in expression could escape her eyes. At this moment, she slightly narrowed her eyes, which actually made Mu Xi feel a little guilty. “I should explain it to you solemnly.”

“Regarding Mu Xi,” Nan Xi said, obviously referring to the ex-girlfriend Mu Xi.

“I hate her to the bone.”

“In these five years, I have hated her every moment, I hate her.”

“If she appeared in front of me now… I would want to say to her.” Nan Xi paused here, but kept looking into Mu Xi’s eyes, “…Why did you leave back then?”

“Hmm?” Mu Xi felt something was wrong.

Shouldn’t it be “I want to stab you to death” or “Get lost if you don’t want to die”?

Receiving Mu Xi’s questioning look, Nan Xi gestured for her to be patient and continued, “Since you left, don’t come back. I really wish I could print your photo in black and white and burn incense to it on the wall.”

When Nan Xi said this, her tone and expression were unprecedentedly vicious.

It was like poison had been applied, like it had been soaked in ice water. That bone-chilling coldness made Mu Xi feel a little shiver for some reason, even though she hadn’t done anything.

“…I understand, young lady, I won’t misunderstand again.”

Nan Xi relaxed her whole body, silently lowered her head and took two steps back, raising her hand to rub her neck which had become sore from looking up.

Mu Xi said, “Go inside, young lady, get some rest early.”

Nan Xi stood still, still rubbing her neck. Mu Xi had no choice but to stand with Nan Xi in the garden.

The summer night outdoors wasn’t cold, and the warm breeze caressed their hair. It was very pleasant, no wonder Nan Xi didn’t want to go back so quickly.

Besides, these colorful and beautiful flowers also had a unique charm in the night, only the mosquitoes hiding in the dark were a bit worrying.

Nan Xi finally took a step, intending to go inside, and Mu Xi followed behind her.

They had only walked a few steps when Nan Xi suddenly stopped, causing Mu Xi to almost bump into her back.

She turned her head, suddenly remembering the main point of Mu Xi’s words just now: “You said you were going on vacation? When?”

“Yes. When I’m on vacation, the work of picking you up and dropping you off, young lady, will be arranged for the driver to do.” Mu Xi smiled, but her tone was a bit awkward. “Because… my heat is coming soon, um, probably in a few days, so I have to take a vacation.”

Yes, Mu Xi had told her before that her heat was still ten days away, and several days had passed since then. It was about time.

Nan Xi nodded and turned back to continue walking towards the gate, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

Mu Xi dared to provoke her, questioning her attitude towards her, right?

That would come at a price.

Although she had already planned to do so anyway.
