It was rare to see him so openly expressive. Xi Xiaye was momentarily dazed, then she shook her head.
Xi Mushan sighed, and slowly closed his eyes to admit bitterly, “Being persistent about such a difficult thing requires a lot of courage before feelings. As strong and as steadfast I am, I’m still weak. I understand your mother too well. I’m worried that if I pressure her too much, she’ll really throw herself into someone else’s arms. That way, she’ll leave me forever.
“So, I want to leave myself a small spot in her heart, every year during the peach blossom festival, I give her a peach blossom hairpin. I was hoping that it would sometimes remind her about me so that she does not forget me.”
Upon hearing this, Xi Xiaye could not help sigh deeply. She blinked and nodded gently in understanding.
She was very grateful for Mu Yuchen’s thoughtfulness. If it were not for him doing his most, Shen Wenna and Xi Mushan would probably now still be…
The father and daughter who chatted inside the room obviously did not know that their conversation had all been heard by Shen Wenna who was standing outside the door.
Shen Wenna was stunned for quite a while before she pulled back her hand that was about to push the door open. After she thought about it, in the end, she lifted her head to close her eyes and sighed before turning around to leave.
“Miss, his persistence up until now has been impressive. It hasn’t been easy on everyone including the little Miss and Chairman Mu. Elder Su actually worries about you. It’s been so many years. Elder CEO feels quite sad seeing you live poorly and only getting by. However, he never had anyone to share his feelings with.”
Lan Zilang sighed before continuing, “Elder CEO was waiting for the young Miss to recover fully before he completely let go off his authority and handed over Fuhua Real Estate. After all, Miss will be turning 28 this year, and she can inherit Fuhua already. Once Elder CEO retires, he’ll be freer. After all, he’s afraid of loneliness too.”
Shen Wenna nodded before saying a little heartbrokenly, “After my mother passed away, he has been alone. I advised him to get an old companion to be with him in the days to come, but he said that apart from Mother, he won’t want to marry any other woman. Well, now, at least there’s Xiao Ru and Little Apple. I see that they’ve been having quite a lot of fun.”
“Are you Teacher Shen Wenna?” Just as the two of them were chatting, an unknown voice suddenly came from behind, and the other two subconsciously stopped walking.
Shen Wenna turned and looked at the young nurse in a uniform who had just addressed them as she asked calmly, “Hello, may I help you?”
“Hello, Teacher Shen, someone told me to hand you this letter.” The nurse handed over a letter.
Shen Wenna glanced at the nurse with a perplexed expression for quite a while and hesitated momentarily before reaching out to take the letter and slowly open it. She only saw a single row of words inside—
Shen Wenna, I want to have a chat with you. Yitian Sanatorium, Block 5, Fourth Floor, Room 13.
It was signed off with Yue Lingsi’s name though she probably got someone else to write the letter for her.
When she saw the name Yue Lingsi, Shen Wenna’s mouth curled into an indifferent curve. The mockery in her eyes was evident as she handed the letter to Lan Zilang who took it to read. He could help but chuckle too. “Yue Lingsi? What’s she looking for you for? She wouldn’t be planning on making an unreasonable scene again, would she?”
“She thinks that I’m a shallow and extremely bored person like her. It’s probably because she found out the news about me and Xi Mushan getting remarried, and she wants to launch a war against me again. I’ll just ingore her.”
Shen Wenna did not have the energy to be dealing with Yue Lingsi. Now, she was already lying in bed and could barely move, yet she was still restless.
“Okay,” Lan Zilang responded, and then put the letter away.
When the remaining darkness of the horizon covered the sunset’s final gentle glimmer of light, night fell.
In the flourishing City B, dazzling lights engulfed the entire city. This was another city that never slept, one that indulged in a life of luxury.
At that moment, on this wide road, a luxurious black car was slowly driving towards the city from the outskirts.
They had just passed the toll booth when the driver in front reminded them, “Boss, we’re about to enter the city area soon.”
The person who was addressed as the boss was sitting in the backseat. He wore a black coat and a black cap on his head. While one could not really see how he looked, he seemed travel-worn.
Upon hearing the driver in front, he looked up and gazed outside the window. He then peered down at the red invitation in his hand again. No, more accurately, he was studying the auction list on the invitation.
“How long more to the auction?” The deep voice sounded hoarse and very unfriendly.
“Less than an hour,” answered the assistant in the front passenger seat.
The man’s finger lingered for quite a while on the third item up for auction. He looked at the picture and then said, “Send me back to the hospital. Ah Yong, get me the third item that’s being auctioned. I don’t care how much it costs. I must have it.”
When his deep voice finished his instruction, he tossed away the invitation and the auction list in his hand.
The man in front who was named Ah Yong flexibly caught it as he asked, “Return to the hotel? Boss, are we not returning to the villa anymore?”
“You have a load of crap to say recently! Remember, don’t let anyone realize that it was you who bid for this item. Make it clean, understand?” the man softly reprimanded in a dangerous tone.
The man named Ah Yong could obviously hear the man’s dissatisfaction, so he quickly assured, “Yes, Boss, please don’t be angry. I promise that I’ll complete the mission smoothly! Right, Boss, I checked that Ah Mo and Mu Lingshi already flew to France before the New Year. According to inside news from Glory World, they went to prepare for new market developments, so they won’t be back so soon.”
“There’s one more news. Xi Xiaye gave birth to a son for Mu Yuchen on the first day of the New Year. They named him Mu Zicheng. Because he was premature, they’re still in Hospital T now. Mu Yuchen protected them well, and he’s been personally taking care of them.”
When Ah Yong finished, the man immediately sneered in disdain. “Mu Yuchen, you’ve been quite lucky recently. May you be lucky till the end.”
“Boss, the third auction item is just a very valuable pen. Its value as a collector’s item doesn’t look as high as the other things. Why…”
“Ah Yong, you’re crossing the line.” The man’s tone was filled with a warning, surprising Ah Yong who subconsciously trembled. He then stammered nervously, “S-sorry, Boss!”
“There’ll be no more next time!” said the man coldly.
