He shook his head helplessly, yet the curve on his lips looked exceptionally perfect. His fingers combed through her beautiful and jet-black long hair that seemed like a waterfall as a faint fragrance filled the air. He closed his eyes, clearly enjoying it as he gently took a sniff of it.
After a while, he lowered his voice and said by her ear, “Thank you for thinking so highly of your man, Missus Mu!” He paused before continuing, “Did I hear you two talking about Han Yifeng earlier? Are you thinking of him again?”
When he said this, his tone sounded quite calm and his mood did not seem to shift, yet for some reason, Xi Xiaye could seem to detect a hint of jealousy. At the same time, his slender hands had begun to gently press her chest.
She quickly caught his wrist as she shot him a glance, wrinkling her nose and dragging her voice to say, “I seem to smell something sour! [1]”
“I’m not being jealous right now, Missus Mu!” he immediately defended himself.
Xi Xiaye immediately laughed. “I didn’t say you were being jealous, but you said so yourself!”
“Why don’t you quickly explain yourself then, so I won’t misunderstand? You know I’ll get angry!” He looked at her, and his handsome face seemed to be able to maintain calmness, yet those dark eyes of his clearly could not hide his smirk.
She laughed out gently and put an arm around his shoulders. “Do people do that? Usually, they will just be angry if they wanted to be! Fine, I won’t tease you anymore. Su Nan just mentioned that she saw Han Yifeng two days ago with his son. Apparently, they look like they’re doing quite well. Then, I told her that that’s a good thing.”
When she said this, she suddenly paused, thought about it, then continued, “Everyone should stop holding on to all those things in the past. Now, we’re doing peacefully well which is the best. Don’t you think so?”
Upon hearing her, he was momentarily stunned. At this moment, he remembered his deal with Xi Xinyi!
Recently, Qi Kai had been unstable and the advertising of South River Project No. 2 was still ongoing. In fact, Xi Xinyi had fully taken charge of it, so this would a great chance to get into Qi Kai’s internal network.
In fact with Xi Xinyi’s capabilities and Yue Hai, as well as Yue Hai’s family, they were not lacking capabilities. If this chess piece was used well, this would be a killer move! However, he should probably work hard on the chance that he had promised her before. Initially, this could only be done through Qi Lei, but now getting rid of Qi Lei’s crisis was the top priority!
These thoughts flashed in Mu Yuchen’s mind, and his dark eyes shifted from dark to light in that instant too.
“Hey, I’m talking to you. Answer me, won’t you?!” Xi Xiaye finished for quite a while, and when he did not react, she nudged him, quickly returning him to his senses.
“Mmm, it’s good that you have an open mind. You’ll only suffer holding on to these things.” In regard to this, he could empathize strongly with her.
“Alright, I’ll stop now. It’s late. Quickly go to sleep. I’m already a little tired,” she said as she could not help but rub her eyes and leaned softly against him.
He looked down at her with a chuckle and said, “You’re like a koala. Go to sleep!”
As he shut his laptop, he picked her up by the waist and then walked towards the bedroom.
…
Qi Kai’s situation was still quite bad. Even if the internal upper management had come up with many ways to stabilize the share market, there was no significant effect, especially because it had been quite a few days since the incident, and the one involved had still not shown up to clarify. All sorts of daring speculations kept on spreading around. In fact, the case of Qi Qiming being hospitalized was real!
At this moment, inside a ward in Hospital T.
“Bastard! What a bunch of fools who are taking advantage of the situation!” Qi Qiming could not control the fury spiraling in his chest. He tossed the document to the ground and started to curse, “What are they trying to do? Pushing me to the edge?”
“Uncle Qi, at the ad-hoc shareholder’s meeting, everyone was asking us to handle Qi Lei. In fact, they want to hold a press conference for Qi Lei to personally explain to everyone, Qi Lei has been gone for the past two days, we couldn’t get through his phone, I’ve let Assistant Song look for him at Grand Lakes Villa, but it seemed like he wasn’t home either. Our shares continue to drop, if we don’t think of a way to handle this soon, I’m worried that…” said Gu Lingsha who was standing not too far away from Qi Qiming’s bedside worriedly without telling anyone about how she had gone to look for Qi Lei last night.
“Don’t they usually boast about how they’re so capable? How can they not have any ideas at all right now? They’re all talk and no action! Bunch of morons! Have we found out who plotted all of this?” Qi Qiming’s expression was as dark as the sky before a storm. His gaze was exceptionally sharp and cold too.
Gu Lingsha shook her head, feeling troubled. “I don’t know. VP Yue has been investigating, but I’ve gone over these past few days and we don’t seem to be getting any results.”
“He’s been investigating? Since when has Yue Hai’s efficiency dropped?! They’re all a bunch of idiots who can’t do anything! Where’s Qi Lei? Do you mean that with so many people, we still can’t find one person?” Qi Qiming’s dark eyes begun to show a hint of frustration while his tone was unusually severe.
“Uncle Qi, don’t be anxious. You can’t be angry. Now is not the time to look into whose fault it is. We should find a way to stabilize the situation first. Qi Kai’s in a bad state. Just these past two days alone have incurred a huge loss to us. The most worrying thing is that we might face the same situation as Glory World the last time,” pleaded Gu Lingsha as her expression darkened too.
Upon hearing that, Qi Qiming tried hard to control the anger. Calming down, he thought about it, then turned to Gu Lingsha. “Do you mean South River Project No. 2? Or are you saying that this was Mu Yuchen’s work?”
“Uncle Qi, I don’t know. This was the night Qi Lei left the Qi residence. Ah Feng had people go after him, and they caught these photos,” Gu Lingsha said as she took several photos out from her bag and handed it to Qi Qiming. She continued, “I secretly took these when Ah Feng wasn’t looking. He didn’t tell you these things because he was worried you wouldn’t be able to bear it. Lei seems to be becoming more and more distant from us!”
Gu Lingsha’s words stunned Qi Qiming who stared at her for a while. Then, he quietly reached out to take the photos.
