While she just stared ahead, silent yet focused, her calm little face looked a little pale. A while after that, his fingers tightened and he silently held her hand.
He coughed and took a tissue to cover his mouth. With a deep inhalation, he suddenly said softly, “There are some things that are taboo to bring up to the Mu family. No one has ever mentioned Aunty’s name all these years. Everyone feels that time can conceal all this unhappiness.”
As he said this, there was a faint smile on his lips. He turned to look at the green weeping willows that they left behind and said lightly, “There’ll be some things you want to forget, but it’s hard, especially when you’ve experienced it personally…”
After he said this, the two of them remained silent for a very, very long time. His handsome face was unfathomable in the dim lights as Xi Xiaye quietly drove without speaking. Suddenly, she heard him sigh, “Okay, let’s not talk about these unhappy things anymore. Don’t tell them that we came here when we get back. Just talk about things that are worth being happy about.”
He did not plan to continue, so he bent down and took out a CD to play. Soon, upbeat music quickly poured out of the speakers, flushing out the depressing mood in the car.
Seeing that he was not in a dreary mood, she thought about it and suggested, “These two days, the company is on holiday. There are still some things I left in the office. Now that it’s after working hours, let’s go get it on the way. Since we don’t have to work tomorrow, let’s go out tonight to relax. How about that?”
He frowned slightly and looked at her slightly pale face in disagreement. “Those two days are your sick days off. How do you still have the enthusiasm?”
Xi Xiaye shrugged, peering innocently at him. She struggled for a while before saying frustratedly, “Mr. Mu, don’t you think that the way we go home to have dinner and rest after work every day without any leisure plans, doesn’t feel like the life of newlyweds? Even I feel like I’ve been married to you for years! Other people who’ve been married for years still can hold hands and go dancing. You’re not exciting at all. I’ve never seen you ask me out…”
When she pointed this out, Mu Yuchen raised his brows in shock at her. Quite a while after that, he said in a deep voice, “Missus, excitement, is it? Didn’t I just satisfy you last night? It was you begged for me to stop…”
“I’m not talking about that! Don’t you dare change the topic. I was saying that we aren’t like other newlywed couples… Other people are so happy and sweet,” Xi Xiaye complained, shooting him a displeased look.
Mu Yuchen looked at her, understanding dawning in his eyes as he laughed. “I’ve told you many times, your happiness is built in the eyes of others… Can’t you just tell me that you want to go for a honeymoon with me?”
She glared at him, yet she did not deny it.
“We can only wait for the first of May. Once the South River project is done, then we can relax. We’ll have tons of time to relax afterward. Where do you want to go? Bali? Or France? Your husband will definitely satisfy you.”
As he spoke, the gloominess around him faded away too. Now, he was looking at with a faint smile.
Even though she was not a humorous person either, yet behaving foolishly with her and talking to her was a very delightful thing.
“I want to travel the world. Can you satisfy me?” She shot him a sour look and demanded unhappily.
He thought about it, and answered seriously, “I’ll go to the city right now to buy you a globe.”
“Annoying! Can you not take advantage of my words?”
“Then, how can I take advantage of you?”
“I’ll take advantage of you ! I’ll let you take it! Take it!”
“Ouch! Missus, is this the finger of a King Kong? How painful!”
When the car slowly made its way to the lobby of Glory World Corporation, the sky had darkened and most of the employees have gotten off work.
The husband and wife just stopped the car at the plaza before the entrance. Then, they made their way up together to pack their things from their offices. Xi Xiaye was pretty quick. She swiftly put all her things into her briefcase and read through two documents that needed her review. Then, she brought them up to the 58th floor.
“Hasn’t the government decided on the actual time for the tender meeting? The new policies seemed to have been released. Previously, it was said to be the middle of this month. Why isn’t there any news yet?”
Xi Xiaye handed the document to him as he sat at his desk. She remembered bumping into Qi Lei last night and could not help but frown. Truthfully, she was not sure whether or not to tell him.
“I just got off the phone with someone from the other end. It’s scheduled to be on the 12th this month, a few days earlier than the initially decided date, so we have to rush a little. Other companies should’ve finished handing the documents over in the next few days. Today I also asked Li Si to send the additional materials over, so you don’t have to worry.”
He took the document and flipped it open before briefly looking through it. Then, he signed his name.
She nodded and hesitated for a moment before continuing, “Right, on Yueying’s end, VP Liu might need to go to City B with Ah Mo for the whole of next month. He wants to let me take over the other side, and he asked me to ask you…”
“Mmm, as you wish. If you don’t want to go, I can arrange for someone else to take over. I’m sure you know that Elder Madam Xi is planning to hand the company to Xi Xinyi to handle. Because she left the industry just like that, I think she’ll let Xi Xinyi take over Yueying as quickly as possible. That way, the Yue family will step in, and then they can stabilize the Han family for now.” Mu Yuchen had already analyzed everything clearly.
Xi Xiaye nodded and sighed, “I almost forgot about the Yue family. With the Yue family, even Grandfather and Father can’t curry their favor. Besides, the Yues and the Qis do have a very subtle relationship. Xi Xinyi can’t count on Han Yifeng, so the Yue family is still her strong backup in the end just like this time. If it weren’t for them, Yang Jianfeng wouldn’t have taken the fall so quickly…”
Now that she thought about it, she really was reluctant, but well she had no other choice. It was true that she did stab Yang Jianfeng’s eye until he went blind.
He looked at the way she was so dejected, and could not help but grin. “Giving up so quickly already?”
She lifted her head a little defeatedly and lamented, “What else can I do then? I’ve finally made a breakthrough, but… Forget it. This time, I’ll just consider her lucky. I’m afraid there’ll be more friction after this.”
“You don’t have to worry about the other side. Just let VP Liu handle it. Okay, let’s go home. Tonight I’ll watch a movie with you.”
“Have you bought the tickets already?”
“Who says we have to go to the cinema to watch movies?”
“Mr. Mu, why aren’t you romantic at all?”
“Shall I have a candlelight dinner with you?”
“Tacky!”
