Chapter 273 Hey, You Are in Danger
Although she was ready for the self-abuse, Xu Youning had not had the opportunity to see Mu Sijue in the next few days.
After being pushed by grandma for several times, Xu Youning finally decided to go to the company to find him.
Mu Sijue ran an electronic technology company. Xu Youning specifically checked the information of that company. It was initially established by him at the age of 27; the company had risen to become an industry leader like a dark horse, in just the past five years, and things like finances were very clean.
The company was in an A-class office building, with 17 to 20 floors. Xu Youning had no entrance card so she had to call Mu Sijue’s assistant.
The assistant quickly came down to pick her up, then led her into Mu Sijue’s office.
Unlike the office in Mu Sijue’s Number One club, the present office was decorated in a very modern, simple and well considered way. The sun shone through the French windows, making the whole office look clean. Even Mu Sijue seemed to be less terrifying.
He sat at his desk and quickly clicked on the keyboard. His look was cold and serious. Xu Youning looked at his cold and resolute profile, and was amazed by how handsome the man was.
Even if he didn’t have a complicated identity, nor the mysterious and dangerous temperament, he could still win a woman’s heart only with his face.
Xu Youning didn’t know what he was doing, but she knew that he hated to be interrupted. There was a rumor among his subordinates that they would have an arm broken if they interrupted Mu Sijue. So she held her breath because of fear and stood there perfectly still.
An hour passed.
Finally, the sound of keyboard clicking stopped. Mu Sijue lifted his head and looked at the time on the computer screen’s lower right corner. It was almost 2; no wonder his stomach felt a bit uncomfortable.
Looking away—when did Xu Youning come inside?
Xu Youning understood his confusion, so she said helplessly, “I came in about an hour ago.”
Mu Sijue raised his eyebrow with discontent and said, “why did no one remind me that it was alreay noon?”
“Boss Mu...” Xu Youning asked helplessly, “you didn’t know it was noon?”
“Noon won’t tell me that it’s noon. How would I know?”
Mu Sijue felt it was natural.
He actually felt it was natural!!!
Xu Youning was defeated by Mu Sijue’s strange logic, and she finally understood that Mu Sijue never had proper meals. Not because of him, but he always lost track of time and he would not eat if no one reminded him.
There were probably two reasons why no one reminded him: everyone was afraid of him. And he was more terrifying to people while he was working.
“Did you eat?” Mu Sijue suddenly asked.
Xu Youning shook her head. “Not yet.”
Mu Sijue took the coat hanging on the back of the chair, neatly put it on, and the tailored cut made his straight figure more obvious.
He almost ordered, “We’ll go to a restaurant. Let’s talk while eating, it just so happens that I have something to talk to you about.”
“...Ok.”
They went to a restaurant near the office building. Mu Sijue sat down and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Cough, —” Xu Youning habitually rubbed her nose with her hand and said, “I told my grandma that Chen Qingbiao knows you, and he promised not to harass us anymore for your sake. My grandma is very grateful to you, so she wants to... invite you to go to our house for a meal.”
Xu Youning had always been direct and frank; being hesitant was not her style.
Mu Sijue looked at her deeply and said, “You want me to decline.”
“...” Xu Youning was shocked—God! Could the man read minds?
Mu Sijue suddenly raised his lips. He rarely laughed, but Xu Youning had to admit that he was particularly charming when he smiled.
It was just that the charm was also a fatal hazard.
Xu Youning felt cold in her heart, and then she heard Mu Sijue say in the next second, “Since you hope that I decline, then I’ll agree. It is a bit rude to refuse the kindness of the elderly.”
“...” Xu Youning did not believe that Mu Sijue would be so polite! Moreover, it was obviously intentional; how could he just look so innocent! ! !
“Let’s do it today.” Mu Sijue seemed to do it on purpose to Xu Youning. He continued, “I’m available tonight.”
Xu Youning was very reluctant to pull out a smile. “Okay! Seventh Brother!” She paused and said, “Right, Seventh Brother, what do you want to tell me?”
In the company, she usually called Mu Sijue ‘Boss Mu’. Privately, she respectfully called him Seventh Brother, and, she respectfully called him ‘boss’ in the face of outsiders. Xu Youning was so annoyed about that frequent name switch, but what could she do about it since he was a master of multiple identities?
“You learned financial management in the university. Are you interested in going to the company’s finance department to work there?” Mu Sijue asked.
“Why do you want me to work in the company?” Xu Youning was confused, “Am I not doing well enough now?”
“You are doing very well now,” Mu Sijue did not hesitate to praise at this time, “but you are a girl. Don’t you think it’s more stable to work normally and have a weekend break?”
Xu Youning waved her hand as if she were horrified, “Spare me. You should know if you check that my grades were terrible. I could barely get the diploma. Seventh Brother, I still prefer to be the big sister...”
Mu Sijue’s eyes looked like torches: “Are you sure?”
“Yeah!” Xu Youning nodded firmly.
She must be the big sister!
“I respect your decision, but I won’t give you another chance.” Mu Sijue was like a god who had the power to kill. He asked, “do you understand?”
Xu Youning was stunned for a few seconds which was rare to be seen. “Seventh Brother, have you never given someone a second chance?”
Mu Sijue’s powerful fingers tapped on the table. “Never.”
He smiled and looked like a Shura, which made him look chilly.
Xu Youning patted her chest and pretended to be frightened. She said, “Boss, I will cherish this only chance!”
Yes, she only had one chance.
After dinner, Xu Youning made a phone call and went home. Grandma finally waited for Mu Sijue to arrive. She said happily, “I am going to buy vegetables now!”
After working in the afternoon, Xu Youning waited for Mu Sijue at the door of the Number One club. At 5:30, an expensive Benz came from far away. She knew that it was Mu Sijue’s car.
Not from the license plate; she was looking at the tires.
Looking closely, you could find that all the tires of Mu Sijue’s cars were a little bit shrunken than those on similar cars.
Because each of his cars was equipped with bulletproof glass that was heavier than ordinary glass.
Ah Guang was his bodyguard. When the car stopped, he got off the passenger’s seat and pulled the door open for Xu Youning. But this was only superficial. In fact, he was blocking the door with his body, leaving others with no opportunity to shoot Mu Sijue while the door of the car was opened.
Xu Youning gave her thanks and she was shocked after she got in. With eyes wide open, she leaned over to Mu Sijue to ask, “Am I wrong, are you really wearing a suit?”
Aside from his attendance to more formal occasions, Mu Sijue was always a casual wearer, even in the company.
She heard that a group of tech geeks in his company usually wore slippers and jacket inside out to come to work. Although Mu Sijue was basically neat, Xu Youning still suspected that the company’s employees were affected by him.
But today, he actually wore a formal suit?
Of course, it was undeniable that Mu Sijue was so handsome while he wore a formal suit. The charming and dangerous mystery was hidden in those good-looking eyes. The unique temperament between the gentleman and the devil was a natural magnet that attracted people and made their hearts beat fast.
Mu Sijue looked at the little girl who had come over to him. The thick and long eyelashes were like two small brushes, which made her black eyes lively and beautiful. He pushed her back and said, “The Dutch have taken Holland.”
Soon after, they arrived at Xu Youning’s house. After going through the door, Xu Youning introduced Mu Sijue to her grandma. What surprised her was that Mu Sijue was extraordinarily modest and polite, and called her grandma in a very kind way.
Grandma didn’t expect Xu Youning’s boss to be so young and so handsome. She took him to the seat with enthusiasm and sent Xu Youning to wash the dishes, so that the food could still be warm.
Xu Youning washed the dishes and went out. She looked at the dishes on the table and was stunned.
Tomatoes, celery, carrots, lamb... which were all the things Mu Sijue didn’t like to eat.
Yes, Uncle Mu was extremely picky, but he would never remember the names of the vegetables he hated. When he went to eat at the hot pot restaurant where Xu Youning still worked, Xu Youning asked him what to eat. He looked at her dangerously to say, “you ask me?”
Xu Youning was stunned. “Then... would you let me order a few dishes for you?”
He said, “Whatever.”
Xu Youning asked the chef to make three dishes for him. After she served them, he pointed at the tomatoes and asked her almost angrily, “Who asked you to order something like this red one?”
Xu Youning told him, “Seventh Brother, those are tomatoes.”
The next time he went out to eat and saw the tomatoes in the salad, he frowned for a long time and just ordered, “Pick out the red thing! Let me see such disgusting things again and I will fire you!”
At that moment, Xu Youning was dizzy, and at noon she forgot to tell her grandmother that her boss was very picky about the food. After today, she was afraid that she would be fired.
“Xiao Mu, eat,” Grandma was very hospitable with Mu Sijue, “these are my specialty dishes, have a taste. If you like it, you can always come, I’ll cook for you!”
Then, grandma used serving chopsticks to give Mu Sijue a piece of tomato.
Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue picking up the tomato and putting it in his mouth with her big eyes; then she saw how his throat moved as he swallowed it. She couldn’t help but hold her neck.
Damn, Mu Sijue would definitely strangle her after this.
Grandma had great confidence in her cooking skills. She smiled and asked, “Xiao Mu, how is the taste?”
Mu Sijue smiled and answered, “Delicious.”
“Then eat more.” Grandma kept picking vegetables for his plate. Seeing the celery and carrots on his plate, Xu Youning just wanted to say: Run, grandma!!!
That meal was extremely uneasy for Xu Youning, and she was worried that Mu Sijue would turn over the table at any second.
It was eight after finishing the meal. Before Xu Youning had the time to clean up the dishes, she said, “Boss, I’ll walk you out.”
Mu Sijue politely said goodbye to grandma and loosened his tie as soon as he walked out of the door. Xu Youning was ready to be punished. “Seventh Brother, I’m sorry! I forgot to tell grandma that you don’t eat tomato and celery...”
“...”
“Seventh Brother, you won’t fire me, would you?”
“...”
“Seventh Brother...?”
Mu Sijue suddenly grabbed Xu Youning’s hand and sounded a bit strange, but still acted like a king. “Shut up!”
They were under the rooftop, where it was dark. Xu Youning couldn’t see Mu Sijue clearly, so she could only ask with worry, “What’s the matter with you?”
“...I don’t feel very well.”
He then let go of her hand after he said that, then ran to a corner and puked.
Ah Guang noticed something was wrong and approached them to ask about what happened. Xu Youning told the truth and Ah Guang looked desperate. “Seventh Brother always pukes when he eats tomato, since he was a little child. He had put up with it for such a long time... Sister Youning, you... are in danger.”
