Xi Xiaye was taken aback. After a while, she frowned and replied, “The florist delivered it, and someone else accepted it on behalf of me.”

After Xi Xiaye replied, there was no sound from the other end. She could feel that the man was getting unhappy, so after some hesitation, she asked, “Are you… angry?”

“I’m not,” replied the man immediately, but she could hear the slightly grumpy tone in his voice.

His face instantly appeared in Xi Xiaye’s mind. Was he frowning with a strained face? Or was he suppressing his emotions and acting calm as usual?

There was an awkward silence between them. Xi Xiaye felt a little guilty when he did not say anything, then she tried to speak in a gentle and quiet tone, “You’re not really angry, are you? I… I know that he’s not a good person…”

“And you accept gifts from him knowing that he’s not a good person?” He sounded upset. “Has your judgment gotten clouded with me being away just for a few days? Don’t accept it if it’s not gold or diamond roses. Giving cheap flowers like this just shows how much of a cheapskate he is!”

His tone was very demeaning and was very different from his usual self.

Xi Xiaye rolled her eyes as a smile appeared on her face. “Then, I’ll ask for two diamond roses from him next time. One for me and one for you, hmm?”

“I don’t want it!” He replied.

“Fine, I got it. I won’t take anything from him in the future then. When are you coming back? I went to the flower market and bought two hanging orchids. They seem pretty. I’m putting one in your office. I think it’ll start to bloom around June or July. Also, I think the curtains in your office look too depressing, so I’ve asked people to change them to a brighter color. Go take a look in the morning. There are several nice colors available like light beige and champagne. There are also some other options. What do you like?”

Xi Xiaye then kept rambling on since she had spent quite some time in his office for the past few days. She was not really satisfied and thought that his taste was too dark, giving his office a downcast vibe all around, so she decided to give it a makeover since she was rather free anyway.

She thought he was despondent again when he did not say anything. “What is it? Don’t you like it?”

Mrs. Mu did not notice that she was entering into Mr. Mu’s life like a real lady boss. Of course, Mr. Mu was pleased about it. Although he had just scolded her moments ago, he was now feeling much better.

A grin spread across his strained face as he replied quietly, “Up to you. I’m fine as long as it’s not that kind of girlish pink.”

“So, I’ll decide then?”

“Mmm.”

…

Considering that he was coming back in two days, she needed to get this done quickly. As soon as she hung up on the call with Mr. Mu, she quickly called the renovation company and asked them to be there the next day at 8 in the morning.

It was almost evening when she arrived at the Mu Residence.

w.a.n.g Hui and Mu Yinan were gardening in the backyard. w.a.n.g Hui loved flowers, and there was a greenhouse in the backyard just for her to take care of her flowers. Some time ago, she wanted to give Xi Xiaye some rare species and plant them in Maple Residence, but gardening would be a real challenge for someone like her.

Moreover, she had never really liked flowers that required too much care. Instead, she admired flowers like chrysanthemums and plum blossoms which could still bloom despite the cold and were really inspirational to her.

“Chen’s not home these few days. If you feel bored, you can stay here. I’m afraid that you’re not used to being alone,” w.a.n.g Hui said kindly to Xi Xiaye who was busy tr.i.m.m.i.n.g the plants.

Xi Xiaye stopped her work at hand as she turned around and asked w.a.n.g Hui, “It’s okay. I went back to stay with Grandpa for the past few days. It’s been some time since I last went back. By the way, was Ah s.h.i.+ on break yesterday? Grandfather said that she isn’t home…”

“She went out after lunch. It seems like something happened at the club. She asked your grandfather to prepare some soup for her before she left. She should be coming back soon.”

w.a.n.g Hui then started putting the tools away. “Alright, you stop working too. Go back inside. Let me go take a look at what your grandfather made for us tonight. He’s been busy this whole afternoon.”

Xi Xiaye nodded and w.a.n.g Hui walked back into the house while Xi Xiaye packed the stuff up. As she was about to go back into the house, the chime of a ringtone suddenly reached her ears.

It was not hers!

As she searched around for the source, Mu Lings.h.i.+ came into her view.

Mu Lings.h.i.+’s eyes darkened as she glanced at the phone screen. She hesitated, but in the end, she ignored the call and even switched her phone off.

“Is that Ah Mo?” Xi Xiaye went up to her and asked quietly when she saw Mu Lings.h.i.+’s dour expression and how she seemed to have a lot welled up inside.

Mu Lings.h.i.+ raised her head and looked at Xi Xiaye, putting her phone back into her pocket. She was not wearing the pair of large sungla.s.ses now, and the scar on her face was obvious.

“Sister-in-law!” She called Xi Xiaye.

Xi Xiaye nodded and answered in a gentle tone. “Have you gotten used to your life here? I went to the club several days ago. I didn’t bother you since you seemed busy. I couldn’t really imagine it when your brother told me, a girl like you actually being a DJ, and even being capable of managing a night club so well.”

Xi Xiaye sat down on the long bench beside the railing. She raised her head and looked at Mu Lings.h.i.+ who smiled and leaned on the nearby pole. She ran her fingers through her dark purple hair as she replied, “Well, it’s nothing once you get used to it. It’s hard for me to imagine that you’re a director in Glory World as well.”

After a brief moment, she gave it some thought before speaking to Mu Lings.h.i.+, “I just feel that girls with a career like this will require a lot more courage and tenacity. Your brother… He’s really worried about you…”
