1061 Mr. Mu Is Not Being Honest Again 2
As his passionate eyes studied her intensely, Xi Xiaye’s little face reddened and she turned her head away as if she suddenly took a great interest in the table lamp.
“Are you for real?” he squinted his eyes at her and asked.
She paused for a moment and sneaked a glance at him. Then, she slowly moved away and mumbled, “I didn’t say anything. Ah—”
The man quickly grabbed her by her waist and lifted her up before she could finish her sentence. “I’ll allow you to apologize like this in the future.”
“You wish! It’s actually not gone yet…”
“I’ll find out for myself.”
“You bastard, you were just pretending!”
“As long as the trick works!”
…
It was the easiest method to make Mr. Mu happy again, but it was also an unhealthy method. It was past midnight after they were done. Satisfied, Mr. Mu looked at the little woman who was panting helplessly and smiled.
“Your stamina is worrisome.”
Xi Xiaye glared at him and grabbed the blanket tightly. Defiantly, she took a deep breath and replied, “Nonsense! You always look so nice and proper, but you act like a beast during such moments!”
“It’s a great thing that we’re having such harmonious lives together! Alright, it’s midnight now. Time to sleep,” he said softly with a chuckle.
“About Gu Qiwu and Ah Shi…”
“We’ll worry about that tomorrow.”
…
The two of them could never get into an argument since they were both extremely rational individuals who would reflect on their thoughts and actions when they had small conflicts between them. Ultimately, they would always admit their own faults.
He was wide awake as he listened to the gentle breathing of the woman beside him. He could also hear the sound of the curtain rustling against the window frame, and there was a pleasant smell in the air as well.
He grabbed her tightly and lowered his head to look at her. A tender smile appeared on his face as he stared at her fast asleep. It was pretty rare for her to give in first, but he was pretty happy with what happened!
Conflicts were not scary. The point was that one of them had to give in first.
…
The man was already gone when Xi Xiaye woke up the next morning, but she could still feel his warmth in the sheets beside her.
After she slowly got out of the bed and washed up, she heard the music player playing as she went downstairs. The music provided a cheerful tone in the morning. Soon, she noticed the man speaking with Ah Mo outside the large window.
He turned around when he noticed Xi Xiaye’s gaze. Then, he smiled at her as she slowly came downstairs. Xi Xiaye nodded and went into the kitchen.
She served the breakfast he made before she went to call out to them, “Come in and have breakfast while you guys talk!”
They sat around the table for breakfast and continued the discussion.
“We’ll go according to plan then. Make the arrangements. Meanwhile, I’ll talk to Lingshi,” Mu Yuchen sat down and poured a bowl of porridge for Ah Mo as he said.
“Brother, let me do it!” Ah Mo grabbed the ladle from him.
As Mu Yuchen pulled out the chair beside him for Xi Xiaye to sit, he said, “Lingshi hasn’t been well ever since she met with Gu Qiwu, so I didn’t want to mention these in front of her. The doctor said it’s a critical period of time for her right now. I can’t let her get worked up, thus I suggested for her to stay at the Mu residence for a while. That way, I can be at ease knowing that Grandfather and Grandmother are looking after her. It’s safer as well.”
“It’s nice to have someone to accompany Grandfather and Grandmother too. Didn’t you notice that they’ve been in a great mood lately?” Mu Yuchen chuckled as he grabbed a pair of chopsticks.
“Ah Mo, you ought to spend more time with Ah Shi. Let your brother get the other subordinates to take care of things at the company. It’s about time we got you one or two secretaries too.” It was Xi Xiaye who had spoken this time. She turned pointedly towards the man beside her.
“The HR Department did get me a secretary, but I…declined…” Ah Mo seemed a little hesitant to express himself, and his face was suspiciously red.
Xi Xiaye stared at him curiously and asked, “Declined? Why?”
“Lingshi said that she was pretty…” Ah Mo answered honestly.
Xi Xiaye instantly realized what was happening and smirked. “A female secretary! Ah Mo, you have much better sense than a certain someone!”
“Nonsense! I don’t have any female secretaries, do I? You’d give me some weird look even if I just spared an extra glance at some other woman!” Mu Yuchen glared at her.
“Was I talking about you? You sure are impatient.” Xi Xiaye returned him a cold glance too.
Mu Yuchen frowned. He decided to not mess with her today since he was satisfied with her performance last night!
“Sister-in-law, Brother has never had any female secretaries…” Ah Mo quickly explained on behalf of Mu Yuchen, “When we were still abroad, the daughter of a billionaire who was also an exceptional assistant wanted to be his assistant, but he ignored her and even told her that she was being annoying. She cried endlessly!”
“Interesting. Very popular, aren’t you, Mr. Mu?”
“You’re jealous!” Mu Yuchen looked at Ah Mo after that. “Don’t say anything unnecessary. You’re the one who complained the secretary was too pushy. The HR Department will be arranging another one for you. Since Imperial Sky Entertainment City is doing well lately, manage it well and I’ll leave it to both Lingshi and you in the future.”
Ah Mo put on a genuine smile. “Don’t worry, Brother. I won’t let you down.”
“Things might get a little chaotic soon. Just keep Lingshi safe and don’t get involved in what’s about to happen.” Mu Yuchen then continued his meal.
