Gentle Like Water (3)

EndlessFantasy TranslationEndlessFantasy Translation Zhou Zimos expression darkened before he nodded. "Alright, I got it. Whats the situation over at City Z now? Qi Lei is almost done, isnt he?" he asked. "Its not time yet. Although theres a lot of pressure around Qi Kai right now, from what I know, Qi Feng has something up his sleeve. There should be some kind of deal between Doris and him, or else, he wouldnt be standing on her side this time. Im actually surprised that Gu Qiwu has something like this up his sleeve." Mu Yuchens tone sounded cold. "Ive told you that Gu Qiwu is a cunning old fox who wont back down so easily. Even a woman like Doris fell into his trap. As of now, we dont know what he wants with Lingshi right now. He shouldnt be feeling happy about what happened to his company this time, but I doubt he can sense that were behind this, so I guess hell be approaching Lingshi soon." "Lingshi wont want to see him." Mu Yuchen would prefer that Gu Qiwu met with Mu Lingshi. "Thats just what you think. I doubt Lingshi would like to see you suffer in her stead. These all happened because of them, so I suppose they have something else on their mind too." Zhou Zimo took a look at the document, sucking in a deep breath. "Im a patient right now, so Ill leave the rest to you. By the way, Su Chen called this morning and told us to leave City Z to him. Gu Lingsha wont be able to get out so easily." "Have some tea." Xi Xiaye came over with brewed tea. "You have a seat too." Mu Yuchen moved aside and made space for her. Xi Xiaye sat down comfortably and said worriedly,"Lingshi is still pregnant. Try not to let her be bothered with all of these, and give her some peace." "Its not like theyll listen to us. Xiaye, I think its best that you dont know about it. Given that both of you are pretty close to Qi Lei, Im sure Wang Qins death is still on your mind. Mu Yuchen told me to keep an eye on things before, so I can tell you her death is likely to be linked to Doris or Qi Feng." Xi Xiaye frowned instantly after she heard Zhou Zimo. She turned towards Mu Yuchen, but he did not seem to be affected at all since he was not surprised. Mu Yuchen replied moments later, "I think well have good news from Father after we solve the issue here." Zhou Zimo smiled as well. It was 11 p.m. when they left the hospital. Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye were walking out. The rain had stopped, but the streets were still wet. Xi Xiaye walked in front while Mu Yuchen was right behind her. After several steps, she stopped and looked back at him. She frowned when he seemed to be deep in thought. "Whats wrong?" Mu Yuchen almost bumped into Xi Xiaye, but he quickly paused. Xi Xiaye waved her hand at him. Then, he gently grabbed her hand without saying anything. "Well, you look like you have a lot on your mind. Whats the matter?" she dragged him along as she asked. "What else could it be? There are only a few things that I can think about right now," Mu Yuchen took a deep breath before he replied. "Ive not seen you relax in a long while. Youre almost becoming an old geezer after just a month. I doubt our son will recognize you when you get back." Xi Xiaye meant to tell him off. "Ill spank them if they cant recognize me!" Mu Yuchen replied. "Mr. Mu, lets go somewhere together after all of this is over." "Where do we find the time? Moreover, we have no idea when things will truly end." "It might be soon," Xi Xiaye said, "Sometimes, I really hope our lives could be simpler like ordinary people just like how it is now: quiet and peaceful." "Silly girl, there are people who long for our lives too. It cant be compared," he replied as he put a hand into his pocket. They noticed someone selling flowers when they walked by the plaza, so Xi Xiaye let go of his hand and walked towards the old lady while Yuchen just stood beside a dim streetlamp as he watched her from behind. Moments later, she came over with a big bouquet of champagne roses thatwere extraordinarily beautiful. Xi Xiaye lowered her head for a moment before looking at him while he just stood there and smiled at her. "Here, this is for you!" She presented the flowers to him. Mu Yuchen observed the flowers before averting his gaze at her face. He took the flowers from her and said, "Thank you, CEO Xi, my dear. However, this should be my job." "Youre welcome, Chairman Mu" She smiled. "I like giving you flowers." "Im a man, Mrs. Mu." He raised his eyebrows as he spoke. While he was happy to receive flowers from her, was it not too odd to do so? He faintly remembered that she had done this once before as well. However, he did not like delicate items like these because while they looked beautiful, they were fragile. Xi Xiaye chuckled before rolling her eyes at him. "I know better than anyone else that youre a man" However, she stopped her sentence halfway when she realized that she had made a big mistake. The man threw her a meaningful glance, an ever-so-gentle glance. Xi Xiaye blushed and her face reddened.
