One Child Two Treasures: The Billionaire Chief’s Good Wife Chapter 713

Would she be threatened?

The further she thought of it, the more fearful she became . A frightening chill climbed from her toes all the way to her head .

Her face paled in an instant and her fingertips trembled uncontrollably .

Her hands shook so much she dropped the doc.u.ments to the floor .

Her chest undulated nonstop; apparently, she was still in shock .

Struggling to take control of her emotions, she slowly crouched to pick up the scattered sheets of paper .

Behind her suddenly came the deep voice of a man .

“Shocked at the sight of these doc.u.ments?”

The abrupt voice was deep and low, yet it fell on her ears like a thunderclap in this quiet room . She yelped in surprise and swiftly pivoted to look in the direction of the voice with wide eyes .

From a corner of the meeting room, she saw a man in a Tang suit 1 slowly make his way to her .

The face, buried in the shadows, was exposed under the room's bright lights .

Each step of the man to her made her breath stifle in alarm . Her fear gradually receded . In its place was wariness of the man .

Standing in front of her was an unfamiliar, forty-something man . Expensive fabric clothed his extraordinary stature . With his aristocratic aura, he was effortlessly elegant . One could tell at a glance that he was a wealthy and respectable person .

The man's footsteps halted . She trembled in trepidation as her guarded vision landed on his face . Although the man was nearing old age, she could still see traces of his past handsome features .

The sharp features and handsome profile were alike Mu Sheng's to some degree . She found his face to be somewhat familiar but could not recall it right now . Just where exactly had she seen this man?

She had a feeling that he was someone known to her, but she could not really identify the man . She tried hard to recall, but it was to no avail .

Seeing the doubts written on her face, the middle-aged man laughed .

That laughter had the spirit of an elderly man with a high position . He looked straight at her, opened his mouth, and his mild voice, the one used specifically on the younger generation, came pouring out . “Why? Don't you recognize me?”

His question got to her .

“You're a little familiar! Who are you?” She narrowed her eyes skeptically at him, still keeping hold of the wariness in her heart .

A straightforward question without honorifics . Frowning at her lack of manners, he sneered and put his answer on hold . Instead, he periodized sitting down on the sofa, pouring himself a cup of tea, and taking a sip of it .

His calm demeanor and elegant mannerisms revealed him to be a man of power and position in the high society .

At his casualness, she found herself in a quandary . She helplessly stood in place, at a loss on what to do .

He did not speak, so she did not dare to speak, too . Clutching that remaining stack of doc.u.ments in her hand, the ongoing silence made her so tense she broke into a cold sweat .

“Why are you so nervous?” The man raised his head, and seeing her guarded look, he laughed . “Am I a tiger? Don't worry; I'm not gonna eat you . Sit . ”

His face and voice matched to a T the sort of kindness and maturity an elderly man should have . Compared to him, she was consciously aware that her reaction was childish .

Still, there was some hesitation inside her .

“Sit down; I won't do anything to you . If I wanted to harm you, you would long cease existing in this world . ” The middle-aged man smiled kindly at her . The last part of his words terrified her to no end .
