His gaze was filled with a faint tenderness as his fingers gently brushed through her hair while simply helping her comb it.

“If it’s you, then I’m not afraid of the pain at all.”

She looked at him earnestly and suddenly reached out with both hands. While she gently held his n.o.ble and handsome face, she carefully examined it, and her twinkling eyes glowed. She lowered her voice and said softly by his ear, “I like you, Mr. Mu.”

Then, her calm and cool lips closed in.

Mu Yuchen’s dark eyes were stunned for a moment. His handsome face could not help but turn hot. Quickly, he reached out to press the b.u.t.ton for the part.i.tion shutter in the car, blocking the scenery from behind before enjoying the tenderness from her.

…

By the time they returned to Maple Residence, Xi Xiaye had already fallen asleep, leaning against him.

When Li Si knocked on the car door, Mu Yuchen then looked down at the woman who slept soundly in his arms. He sighed and suddenly said softly, “I’ve long fancied you. I’ve given all of my feelings to you, Xi Xiaye.”

The woman in her deep sleep would not have known what he admitted. Because she slept so soundly, she missed a certain person’s confession.

When the weekend came around, Qi Lei returned just in time. By the time he went to Mu Yuchen’s office, he looked travel-worn.

Mu Yuchen immediately arranged for them to meet at his office.

At that moment, inside the vast and neat office, a few high definition screens above the French window across were displaying some information. Mu Yuchen was standing before the window underneath the screens, looking up at them while Qi Lei stood right behind him.

“I thought you wouldn’t make it back in time.” Mu Yuchen’s voice was very soft.

Qi Lei looked around the office in shock. His eyes quickly fell on the closed door of the resting lounge.

“Is Xiaye inside?”

Mu Yuchen nodded. He turned to flip open a doc.u.ment on the desk behind him as he replied calmly, “She wanted to come. She didn’t rest well and just fell asleep.”

“I can see that you’re not having it easy as a father-to-be. Do you feel anything yet?” Qi Lei teased and smiled as he looked jokingly at Mu Yuchen who was becoming thinner.

Mu Yuchen looked up from his doc.u.ment calmly. He shot him a nonchalant glance and said, “You find a woman to marry. You’ll feel it very soon.”

Qi Lei brushed his nose and shrugged. “I’m not rus.h.i.+ng myself. Not everyone’s like you, so easily accepting about marriage. However, the fact that you and Xi Xiaye could reach to this stage does surprise me more or less. I just find it sad that if I had agreed to Deng Wenwen’s request back then. I wonder if she would’ve been Missus Qi instead right now.”

“Forget it. She doesn’t like playboys like you. Missus Qi doesn’t sound any better than Missus Mu does.”

Qi Lei could not help but hit his head, feeling annoyed as he said bewilderedly, “Time that has pa.s.sed can never return. I’m afraid they’re talking about this.”

“Master, CEO Shen is here!” Right at that moment, Li Si’s voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Mu Yuchen quickly closed the doc.u.ments in his hand and walked towards the door. Qi Lei subconsciously raised his brows and followed Mu Yuchen’s figure to peer over too.

After a while, there was suddenly the sound of footsteps.

“Grandpa, this way!” Mu Yuchen humbly helped Shen Yue into the office.

Shen Yue wore a gray overcoat and held a walking stick in his hand. His pair of deep and sharp eyes immediately showed that he was a strong compet.i.tor who had long been in the world of business. Qi Lei subconsciously felt respect for him.

“h.e.l.lo, Elder CEO. I’m Qi Lei! I’m very honored to get the chance to meet you,” Qi Lei spoke up humbly.

Shen Yue examined Qi Lei through narrowed eyes, then turned to ask Mu Yuchen, “Ah Chen, this is the person you recommended?”

Mu Yuchen nodded. “Mmm, he’s Master Qi from Qi Kai. He has tons of knowledge in terms of construction. The proposal that Grandpa has was personally prepared by him. If you have any questions, feel free to ask him. You can also personally evaluate him,” Mu Yuchen answered Shen Yue softly.

Shen Yue then nodded and sized Qi Lei up again before walking towards the sofa and slowly sitting down. His aged voice was heard. “He does look like a talented one. Let’s all sit. Ah Chen, you too. Since it’s a partners.h.i.+p proposal, there are many things we still need to deliberate.”

“Elder CEO, please have some tea!” Li Si respectfully served the tea, and then quietly retreated to the side while Lan Zilang stood quietly beside Shen Yue.

“Qi Kai’s considered a leader in City Z. The movie industry is your focus, so why have you suddenly become interested in construction? In fact, I quite admire your talents in construction. You’re a young fellow and you already have a calling in the construction field. It’s really quite rare.”

Shen Yue reached out to take over the materials Lan Zilang handed him. He flipped through and browsed them.

“Elder CEO, you’re flattering me. Thank you for the praises.” Qi Lei laughed. Others said that Shen Yue did not seem to be someone one could get along with easily, but right now, he did not seem like what the rumors said.

Of course, Qi Lei actually neglected a piece of truth, that no matter how stringent Shen Yue was, when he was in front of Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye, he would be exceptionally friendly.

“I’ve had some dealings with Qi Kai before. CEO Qi of your company should be your father, right? He’s not very honest with business. If he came to discuss with me today, I almost wouldn’t consider this. This partners.h.i.+p wouldn’t happen, but since Ah Chen and Xiaye have recommended you strongly, and I’m quite happy with this proposal, I decided to come to meet you.”

Qi Lei looked at Mu Yuchen. There was a light in his eyes. After a while, he responded, “Looks like I’ll have to properly thank you, Master Mu, and Xiaye. It’s also my honor that Elder CEO is willing to meet me, but I also trust my own standards.”

“I do like this confidence in you young people, but confidence is one thing and abilities are another. It’s not just a simple proposal for construction projects. Now, I’d like to understand how you’re going to do this project if I agree to collaborate with Qi Kai a little better. Back then, when Qi Qiming came looking for me, I’d immediately rejected him.”

“Don’t worry, Elder CEO. I’ll personally be in charge of this entire project. Qi Kai wanting to collaborate with Fuhua isn’t a matter of a day or two either. I hope that you’ll believe our sincerity, Elder CEO,” said Qi Lei sincerely. His serious and earnest manner was quite different from his usual frivolous ways.
