Considerate Prince Charming (2)

EndlessFantasy TranslationEndlessFantasy Translation Xi Xiaye smiled gladly at him. She pondered for a moment, then sighed softly and lowered her gaze. "VP Zhang Lan sent over the blueprints a while ago and I had a business lunch near the South River at the same time, so I went to take a look." He casually took the water from aside and handed it to her, but she shook her head, so he took a sip and asked,"Mmm? Was there a problem?" "Theres no problem with the project. With VP Zhang Lan and the rest supervising, Ive got no concerns. Since I was at Glory World, VP Zhang Lan and VP Liu are great at their work. I personally admire them very much. With their effectiveness, its your honor to be their boss." Xi Xiaye was not stingy with her praises of the two people. "I didnt know you had such a good impression of the two of them. Is this considered swaying me through pillow talk? Do I need to increase their salaries?" Mu Yuchen chuckled as he watched her. He seemed happy like he was really enjoying their time right now. His long arms tightened around her waist, and his deep eyes revealed a hint of doting. "Thats up to you. If I wasnt worried that youd be too exhausted, I wouldnt have poached them" "Poached them? You might as well poach me. If you poached me, theyd be yours." "Im serious! Hey, Mr. Mu, how about we merge Fuhua and Glory World? You can oversee them, and at least, Ill be more assured. I think its a pretty good idea to be grouped into a financial group. In fact, our interests dont clash. I dont want to take on such a huge company myself. Given my personality, Im not suitable to be the highest level decision-maker." Xi Xiaye pondered over the reasons and could not help but share her thoughts with him. "Arent you doing very well right now? Its like letting you handle one of the companies under Glory World. Dont you have the confidence?" He shot her a side look. "This has nothing to do with confidence, okay? Sigh, forget it. Lets not discuss that problem for now. Lets talk about today. Ive already explained things to Detective Zhang, so it should be fine, but today I met something puzzling. Do you know who I bumped into at the South River stairs?" Xi Xiaye waved a hand and paused for a bit although she did not forget what she wanted to talk about. "Who?" he asked with curiosity now. "I bumped into Qi Feng," she said as her long eyelashes fluttered to look up and meet his eyes. "He knows about Gu Qiwu and Doris, and Ah Shi too. He said some things about Lingtian as well as about you and him" Mu Yuchen fell silent while Xi Xiaye could feel that his arms around her waist seemed to have become slightly rigid. "Is that so? What did he say about me?" Mu Yuchen asked calmly. You could tell that his eyes had turned cold. "Mr. Mu, I know that he has a deep resentment for you. Im really worried if hell do something to you. He says that he wants to make a deal with me, but I rejected him. He said that one day we might regret everything were doing today. Right now, Im feeling a little uneasy. Oh, right, when I finished work in the evening, he even got someone to send me a bouquet of flowers. This is the card he wrote. Look at it. I dont quite understand what he means," Xi Xiaye said as she swiftly handed the card to him. Mu Yuchen paused and frowned down at the card for a long while before he slowly took it. He looked quietly at the line of words as a chill flashed across his handsome face and gloominess gathered in his eyes too. "Mr. Mu" When she saw that he did not speak in a long time, Xi Xiaye softly called out to him, "Whats wrong? You dont look too good." He breathed in. The emotions that he revealed were quickly hidden as he returned to calmness from before. Then, he casually tore up the card and tossed it into the bin. "Its fine. Just dont be in touch with him anymore. Its a good thing that you didnt hide what happened today from me. Hes trying to get through to you. Is this all Qi Feng is capable of doing?" His voice was cold and filled with a hint of disdain. "Whats he trying to do, Mr. Mu?" Xi Xiaye did not quite understand. "Not everyone is Gu Lingsha. He must have thought that hes at least gotten Gu Lingsha from me, but actually right from the start, I never planned on getting to know her. There shouldnt be any grudges between me and him. If we were really to talk about anything between us, it would only be about Gu Lingsha. Back then, Doris set her heart on my marriage with Gu Lingsha, and this has always made Qi Feng unhappy," Mu Yuchen lifted a hand to massage between his brows as he explained a little helplessly. "Could Qi Feng be so narrow-minded? Is he unhappy with you because of these things?" Xi Xiaye frowned and said in annoyance. "What do you think? Dont just see that Qi Fengs being treated like the First Master of the Qi family although the rightful heir is actually Qi Lei? No matter how hes treated, when he goes out, he still has the identity of an illegitimate son. Im sure hes put in a lot of work to reach where he is today. I suddenly understand why he was so close to Lingtian. Perhaps it was because they could relate to each other. That wouldve been understandable." "But, Mr. Mu, do you really believe that Lingtian would do that to you for Glory World?" Xi Xiaye could not help but ask. Mu Yuchen lowered his eyes and fell silent for a moment before responding, "I dont want to believe that he would, but" At this, he stopped, his expression seemed desolate. "Alright, dont be sad about this anymore. To think about it, I can actually understand. Its like me and Xi Xinyi. Mr. Mu, now that I ponder about it, our experiences are exceptionally similar. Sometimes, I see my pitiful self within you. Whatever it is, right now well just do things with a clear conscience, right?" "Missus, youre right!" After that he smiled and responded humbly. "As long as you remember that. Its going to be the Ghost Festival soon. I want to visit Grandfather thenand also Grandmother and the restI havent paid respects to them in a while now." Xi Jiyang and Deng Wenwen Sometimes, when she thought about it, it felt like a very, very long while had passed, and recalling it made it all feel as if it were a dream. "Mmm, Ill go with you." "Its fine. I know that you have some things on your mind too, so Ill just go by myself."
