Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Like what?”
Xi Xiaye did not immediately understand his meaning, She immediately turned to him and ask, yet just as she said that, she immediately realized that she had fallen for a trick. Quickly, she waved her fist at him. “You look like a thing! No, wait, you’re a n.o.body!”
“Don’t move. I’m applying the medicine!” Mr. Mu held her down and said softly, “I’ll consider that you have self-awareness this time. Your IQ and response rate can still be saved, but your tricks…”
“It’s just my tricks that were a little despicable and shameless, right?” When she heard him say this, she suddenly fell silent and slowly pulled back her hand. She slowly lowered her gaze and suddenly did not speak anymore.
Mu Yuchen who was applying the medication for her quickly noticed her silence. He abruptly looked up at her. When he saw that her calm expression was mixed with loneliness, he immediately sighed softly as he lifted a hand and gently touched her head. “That’s enough. Don’t make such a face. Did I say anything? So what if it was despicable and shameless? I’m not all that upright either. You’ve returned victoriously, and this is something worth celebrating. Tonight, we’ll go home and celebrate with champagne.”
“It’s not because of this. I just feel a little sad.” Xi Xiaye let him pat her head. She shrugged and looked up silently at Mu Yuchen, her gaze clear. “I didn’t think that Xi Xinyi would have such weird thoughts. Shouldn’t she be happy when someone helps her and treats her as a good friend, treating her well? Why…?”
He carefully covered her wound with gauze and said softly, “I know that you’re very willing to help others, but you have to see who the other person is too. Do you think that it’s so easy to be a good Samaritan? Like you, helping such a dangerous person like Xi Xinyi isn’t called doing a kind deed. It’s called taking the side of the evil-doer, endangering society.”
“I’m not going to listen to you preach.” She shot him a look, and could not help but sigh. She said a little self-mockingly, “I feel that confronting them like this, even I’ve become mean. Mr. Mu, do you also think I’m quite malicious right now?”
When he heard her ask that, Mu Yuchen immediately laughed gently. He slowly held her frail shoulders. “So what? As long as you don’t suffer, it doesn’t matter whether you’re malicious or not.”
His deep and sensitive voice reached her ears, stunning her for a moment. A while after that, she smiled. “Xi Xinyi said that to defeat her. I didn’t spare seducing you.”
“Mmm, that means that you have charm. Otherwise, why couldn’t she have done the same?” Mu Yuchen said without any humility. In fact, these words were unexpectedly exactly the same as what Xi Xiaye had said to Xi Xinyi!
Even she was shocked at their thought-provoking chemistry.
“You really aren’t humble at all!” She softly reprimanded him. When she reached into his pocket to take a look at the time on the phone, she saw that it was close to 6 p.m. in the evening. Turning to look out of the window, she noticed that the sky outside had already darkened.
“It’s about time. Let’s go over to take a look. Then, we’ll go home earlier. We’ve been quite busy for the past few days, so it’s a rare time for rest. Aren’t you going to City B for a few days next week? I saw the itinerary from a.s.sistant Li. How’re things on Ah Mo’s end?”
Then, she handed the phone to him.
“Mmm, it’s alright. The other side is getting ready to start work. a.s.sistant Li and the rest are planning to have a press conference. I’ll go over to take a look,” Mu Yuchen answered.
“It’s getting busy on the other side too. I’m guessing the groundbreaking ceremony isn’t far away either. Now that the South River project is about done with arrangements, I’ll just supervise. You’ll need to spend more time on Ah Mo’s end. I can handle whatever’s on my end,” said Xi Xiaye said after thinking.
“I’ll be quite busy during this phase. I’ll gather everything to handle them. When it’s our wedding, you can be more relaxed. Grandmother and the rest have begun planning, so you just have to work on your own things.”
“Are you still going to send bethrothal gifts to the Xi family?”
Xi Xiaye suddenly remembered what he had said to Xi Jiyang and she frowned at him. “If we do, wouldn’t that be letting them off lightly even though I know you are being thoughtful towards Grandfather and Father’s honor?”
“We won’t forgo the betrothal gifts. Some traditions are still needed.”
“You care about traditions too?” She chuckled and turned to look out the car window. At this moment, all the lights looked splendid. The streetlights on both sides were lit up too, and the faint light kept streaming into the car.
Without answering her, he just slowly let go of her and pulled at his slightly wrinkled sleeves. His handsome face brimmed with a faint gentleness.
It was a while when Xi Xiaye suddenly spoke up after staring out at the streetlights that pa.s.sed them by. “This time during our visit, I saw that Grandfather has aged quite a bit. In fact, he’s in terrible health. Earlier, when I went to my room, I overheard Father on the phone with the hospital personnel. From what I remember, after Father divorced Mother, Father and Grandfather’s relations.h.i.+p very quickly turned to indifference. Father lost his mother since he was young. Actually, Grandfather loved him very much once upon a time…”
“Sometimes, I really wished that I grew up in a simple family, such as having parents who are simple teachers, having them understand and support each other… How great would that be? I remember my supervisor for my final thesis in university was married to another lecturer in our university. Their professions were very similar. When I did my thesis, if my supervisor wasn’t around, I could still look for her… I’ve always been envious of such a life…”
When she said this, her beautiful face suddenly flashed with a smile that looked radiant and moving. She turned to him. “Will we always be like this, Mr. Mu?”
The earnest in her eyes startled him. A perfect curve instantly flashed in the corner of his mouth as he stared at her and nodded happily. His tone was filled with certainty. “We will.”
She then lowered her gaze and smiled. Then, she leaned on his shoulder, gently leaning against him as her long fingernails casually fiddled with his tie. She fell silent for a while, then as if she mustered a lot of effort, she said to him softly, “Mu Yuchen, I want to date you and never break up. Are you in this with me?”
When she said this, Mu Yuchen instantly turned stiff. He looked at her and gently held her hand that kept messing around with him. After a while, a huge and joyous smile appeared on his handsome face as he said softly, “Those who don’t know would think you’re proposing to me, Missus. But, when it comes to such things, I’ve always felt that it should come from us men.”
“Oh, right, you didn’t even propose. Why should I agree to have a wedding with you?” Xi Xiaye suddenly raised her brows and finally realized what a huge problem she had.
