Mu Yuchen squinted as she finished her sentence, and she felt a little uneasy as he stared at her. She could tell that her words made him unhappy.
She could not move away from his grip, so she averted her gaze away from his sharp eyes.
“So, you think we’re still unstable?”
His deep tone was afflicted and Xi Xiaye was feeling really anxious about it.
“Look at me, and answer the question!” Mu Yuchen was not letting her get away with this. His hand around her waist tightened.
Xi Xiaye felt pain with the strength he was exerting. She frowned and stared at him, unable to give him an answer.
“We’ll continue stabilizing it then!” His eyes darkened as he saw the hesitation in her eyes. He turned over and covered them up. Soon, the war began once again.
“Don’t be like this… Mmm!”
Xi Xiaye wanted to say no, but Mu Yuchen shushed her and forbade her from continuing to talk.
Xi Xiaye went along with him helplessly. After that, she just passed out into slumberland right away.
Mu Yuchen hugged her with a clear mind. While he watched her with complicated feelings inside him, his eyes suddenly turned blur as well.
She was very frail and did not feel very solid in his arms even after what they just did…
“We’ll be stable…” He murmured after some time as a lonesome sadness appeared in his quiet eyes. He hugged her tightly and felt some of her body warmth, still feeling that what happened between them was real.
…
Afterward, as if they understood each other, no one brought up that topic at all.
Xi Xiaye only remembered that the morning after, Mu Yuchen told her they should just let things proceed naturally and that there was no harm having another person to care and miss.
She did not know how to answer, but then she thought to herself that since things had turned out like this, why should she not just make more changes?
She gave it some thought before nodding silently in agreement.
They were married anyway, so what else could they do? That was bound to come sooner or later. Was this not a sign of them getting along?
After the New Year, they were busy for quite a few days. The next day was the weekend, and they finally had some time to relax.
It was already 4 p.m. after Xi Xiaye handed the stack of documents she signed back. After she gulped some water from the glass, she then started packing up.
“Director Xi, are you going to the north of the city?” Assistant Xiao Mei knew about Xi Xiaye’s habit, so she asked with a smile.
Xi Xiaye grabbed her windbreaker from the clothes hanger and nodded. “I want to go and have a look.”
“Director, you seem to really like those children, but I feel happy when I see they are having fun too.”
Xiao Mei helped Xi Xiaye take the things out from the cupboard that she had been instructed to prepare before. There were two full bags of them.
“I’ll help you get to your car, Director Xi!” Xiao Mei offered when she saw Xi Xiaye holding her briefcase in hand.
Xi Xiaye glanced at the two big bags, then looked at the briefcase she was holding before she nodded. “Okay, thank you.”
“Sure! Most of the things are done anyway. Please rest well during the weekend, Director Xi. You must be exhausted working on the South River project for the past few days.”
She picked up the bags and walked outside. Xi Xiaye smiled as she grabbed her stuff and followed her.
The sun was setting by the time they walked out of the office. It dragged their shadows really long across the pavement and it was a little chilly as the cold wind breezed through.
Xi Xiaye walked forward as she took the car keys out from her pocket. Xiao Mei followed behind her as she went towards the parking lot.
Xi Xiaye unlocked the car and opened the door to the passenger seat. Just as she was about to retrieve the stuff from Xiao Mei, she noticed her assistant staring at her with wide eyes.
Was this not Chairman Mu’s car?
Xiao Mei’s eyes glittered and looked at her boss in surprise as she asked, “Director Xi, isn’t this…?”
Xi Xiaye then realized her mistake. She answered after a brief moment of silence, “I borrowed it from him.”
She then took the bags from Xiao Mei and stuffed them on the passenger seat.
“Oh…”
As if Xiao Mei understood something, she glanced at Xi Xiaye ambiguously with a smile. “Director Xi, actually you look great with Chairman Mu. It’s fine if you two aren’t really close relatives! Everyone in the office feels that the both of you are a matching pair!”
“Why do you guys think we’re a pair?” Xi Xiaye frowned and asked.
She remembered Su Nan having said something similar before as well, but she thought that Mu Yuchen and her just happened to be together. They respected and understood each other. Aside from the relationship between an employee and employer, they were just room buddies…
“Hmm… I’m not sure! We just kind of feel comfortable watching the both of you together! Director, if you really become the chairman’s wife, then our departments will become in-laws. Will we be considered first when there are any benefits?” Xiao Mei voiced out her cheeky thoughts as her eyes lit up.
Xi Xiaye laughed. “Always thinking of such things! I’m leaving now. You can go back first.”
She then quickly got into the car and drove away, heading towards the road up front.
Xi Xiaye gave Mu Yuchen a call after she was on the road. She told him she might be back a little later tonight.
Mu Yuchen and Ah Mo went to the location of the developing Movie City for inspection. He had left Maple Residence early in the morning and did not drop by the office at all.
It was not time for everyone else to leave work yet, so there was no traffic. Xi Xiaye arrived at the north of the city about an hour later. She stopped the car beside the rundown and desolate orphanage.
She got down from the car and glanced inside through the rusty steel bars. The playground was unusually empty and the whole place seemed quiet.
After staying silent for some time, Xi Xiaye grabbed the two bags and went inside after locking the car.
