Chapter 66 Overthinking
Mu Xia was contemplating when someone knocked on the door. Iris' voice rang out, "Ms. Mu, your clothes are here."
As it wasn't Ye Sijue's voice, Mu Xia heaved out a sigh of relief. She opened the door slightly to take the bag from Iris.
Shortly after, the door opened again.
Steam escaped from the bathroom as a figure slowly stepped out.
The outfit Iris gave her was a dress prepared for the outdoor shoot later. Not everyone would look good in the pink and purple fairylike dress, but Mu Xia was fair enough to pull it off with her glowing skin.
It was as if a fairy princess was stepping out from the fairy realm when Mu Xia walked out with the steam floating around her.
Mu Xia noticed Iris was staring at her intently once she came out.
Chuckling, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Iris regained her composure and proceeded to praise her. "You're so gorgeous! I thought a princess had escaped from a fairytale."
Mu Xia giggled. "You're so sweet. Time's running out, so we have to leave. I don't want to hold everyone up."
Iris promptly recalled what Ye Sijue told her earlier and blurted out, "Don't worry. Drink this cup of warm tea."
Mu Xia took one glance at the steaming tea and shook her head. "Forget it. Let's go. I can't delay the shoot."
Right then, the door was pushed open to reveal Ye Sijue. "There's no hurry. I've sort things out, so drink that cup of tea to warm yourself up."
Mu Xia parted her lips to say no, but Ye Sijue added, "That castle belongs to a friend of mine. He will be there, so we won't need to pay a fee to rent it."
After hearing that, Mu Xia sat down obediently and sipped on her tea.
As the tea was hot, Mu Xia took small sips before realizing someone was gazing at her.
Instinctively, she turned at her shoulder and noticed it was Ye Sijue who was staring at her.
「Hmm? Does he think I'm pretty?」
Mu Xia was about to speak when Ye Sijue broke the silence. "This dress is quite pretty. It suits the theme of the outdoor shoot today."
Mu Xia was speechless.
「Oh, turns out he's looking at my outfit. I was overthinking it.」
Mu Xia pursed her lips and mumbled in acknowledgment before returning to her tea.
She might seem calm on the surface, but inwardly, she felt suffocated.
Mu Xia didn't notice how Ye Sijue breathed a sigh of relief after she turned away.
When she finished her tea, Iris gave her a warm scarf, which she draped over her shoulders. Finally, she felt much warmer now.
Even so, the moment they stepped out of the suite, Ye Sijue suddenly took off his blazer and tossed it to her as though he were tossing trash.
Mu Xia was taken aback, but she swiftly flashed a smile and said, "Thank you, but I'm not freezing anymore. It's fine."
It was only early autumn, so the weather was still alright if one didn't get dunked in the water.
"This is not for you to keep warm," came Ye Sijue's icy reply. "Before the commercial is released, the dress can't be revealed to the public."
「So, he's giving me his blazer to cover the dress?」
Mu Xia stiffened before draping his blazer over herself.
This was the second time she had misunderstood Ye Sijue's words, so she told herself to not let it happen a third time.
Downstairs, Ye Sijue got into his car while Mu Xia and Iris got into their MPV to head toward the castle.
Mu Xia seemed to be in a foul mood, so Iris tried hard to cheer her up. "Ms. Mu, Young Master Ye adores you! He told me to prepare hot tea for you and even gave you his blazer. Do you think he…"
