When she saw this, she put the book back onto the shelf and took another one as she said calmly, “Let’s leave these things to tomorrow then. Rest earlier. There’s still an early meeting tomorrow at 9 a.m. It’s about the South River project. There are still quite a number of things we have to settle. I’ve already called Li Si to inform Vice President Liu and the rest to gather in the meeting room at half past eight. We’ll briefly straighten some things out and then explain it to the rest.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Yuchen nodded slightly. He could not help but praise, “Director Xi, you’re getting better at understanding me when you do things. I want to make you my special assistant.”
“Please! No thanks! I’m doing just fine in the Planning Department. You’re not allowed to change my position as you wish,” Xi Xiaye shot him a look and said coldly.
“Well, I don’t see you coming over to my office often. Two days ago, Vice President Wen was planning on getting me a secretary. He introduced a pretty and young woman to me, and she was quite good…”
“Then, try her.”
She shot him a glare sulkily. When she saw that he had straightened his back and leaned against the chair, she went for the mouse, saved the document, then closed the laptop.
He looked at her poker face and asked, “Unhappy?”
He liked her like this. At home, all of her worries would be written on her face, and he did not need to guess with much effort. If they were outside, unless it was an extraordinary situation, she was usually smooth and slick, it was better this way.
“I mean that I want to make it so that we don’t have to intentionally keep our relationship a secret. Previously, I heard people say that the two of us are underground lovers. I want to set our relationship straight, to tell the world that we are rightful husband and wife.”
He explained softly, “The wedding matters will be settled very soon. Once the news of our marriage is out, the entire City Z will know that you’re Missus Mu.”
When she heard this, Xi Xiaye breathed in sharply. She could not help but gasp, “As you wish since it’s come to this point anyway. Right, next week on the 20th, there’s a fashion press conference at Imperial Sky Clothing City. You remember this, right?”
When Xi Xiaye reminded him about this, Mu Yuchen thought about it, then nodded and responded, “It seems to be quite a huge event. Vice President Zhang mentioned this to me before.”
“Jewellery City has only just begun business. In terms of popularity, it’s doing alright. I’m hoping that we could do a press conference with Clothing City too since it’s under the same label. It would also achieve a really excellent promotional effect. Our Planning Department has prepared a concrete plan which I’ll let you take a look at.”
Xi Xiaye suddenly remembered the document that Xiao Mei had shown her the day before.
After she said that, she quickly looked through her briefcase for it, and then took it out for him.
Taking it, he casually flipped through it. Then, he fell silent for a moment and nodded. “Just let Vice President Wen take over. You don’t have to exhaust yourself now. Take it easy. We have more to do next month.”
Then, he got up.
“And I want to invite Su Nan.”
“You can decide on these trivial things. Let’s go and rest!”
He set the document aside on the table, then gently carried her as he walked to the bedroom leisurely.
…
The night was getting late. The cold moon silently hung above in the silent night sky and the cool breeze rustled.
Han Yifeng dragged his worn out body and switched the villa light on. As he was about to walk upstairs, a gentle voice suddenly rang out. “Yifeng, you’re back!”
Han Yifeng subconsciously stopped in the midst his footsteps. He followed the sound of it and noticed that Xi Xinyi was slowly pushing herself up from the sofa.
“Why are you here?”
A light flashed through Han Yifeng’s eyes, focusing on Xi Xinyi.
Xi Xinyi was sleepy-eyed. The white, silk sleeping gown hung on her gaunt figure. Her long, golden hair drooped across her pale face that was still wan and sallow. She looked so weak that one could not help but feel pity for her.
“I was afraid of being alone over there, so… Where have you been these past few days? Why… I’ll make you supper,” Xi Xinyi said gently as she walked up to take the coat in Han Yifeng’s hand.
Han Yifeng lowered his gaze at her, and then lifted a hand to rub between his brows. He said with a low voice, “No thanks, I’m not hungry. It’s best if you return to that villa in the north tomorrow. There’s no one to take care of you here, so it’s not very convenient.”
Then, he was about to walk upstairs.
“Yifeng!”
When Xi Xinyi saw him leaving, she was nervous. She quickly reached out to pull him, hugging him from behind and sticking herself to him. Her arms hugged him tightly. She was strong and seemed afraid that Han Yifeng would run off.
“I don’t want to, Yifeng… Don’t be so cruel to me. You’ve been cold to me for so long! Are you still angry? I know that it’s all my fault. I’ve been stubborn, but apart from that, I didn’t have any other way. I’ll change all the bad parts of me, I will change it all… The way you treat me is making me very miserable. What do I do with our child? Yifeng, he is the product of our love. Haven’t you always hoped that we could have a child? Now, all of your wishes can come true, yet you want to give up just like that!”
Xi Xinyi spilled all of her grievances that she had been accumulating for the past few days. “Sister’s in the past now. She’s married to Mu Yuchen, Yifeng. I know that Sister has always had a special place in your heart. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have kept all those things she gave you. In fact, it’s been so many years, yet you’ve still kept a lot of the habits you had when you were with her… but, we can’t go back to how it was. Yifeng, we can’t go back anymore. I’m the one who loves you the most in this world. If you leave me, I’ll suffer a breakdown. Must you make me so miserable that I’d want to die?”
Can’t go back to how it was…
These words were etched into Han Yifeng’s mind. He suddenly a flare of pain that could not be stifled. In that instant, his head felt immense pain.
“We love each other deeply. As long as we let go of everything, we can be happy too. The more you are like this, the happier Xi Xiaye will be. She’s trying to take revenge on us. She’s hoping for us to live miserably. Previously, she wasn’t even close to Mu Yuchen. She might only be acting like this to vent her anger.” Xi Xinyi sniffed as she expressed her thoughts.
Han Yifeng was startled by this outburst. His eyes started to shift with an unfathomable light, and he did not see the hazy-eyed Xi Xinyi behind him.
“Yifeng, I’ve decided that from next week onwards, I’m returning to Yueying to learn the ropes. My parents have agreed for me to learn by your side occasionally. I’ll definitely work hard to be your great assistant. We can definitely return to how we were.”
