It was already afternoon when Xi Xiaye was awakened by the noise Mu Yuchen made when he drew the curtains open.
When she heard the sound, she swiveled towards the source and saw the man right beside the window. The warm sunlight streamed in, announcing the beauty of the scenery outside.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes while her voice was still slightly hoarse. “What time is it?”
“It’s 2 p.m. now. Wash up and come down to eat something. You didn’t even have dinner last night. You’ve got to take care of your own health.”
He walked over and put his hand on her forehead before she could react. “Mmm, you’re fine now. Your sore throat will get better if you drink more water, and you still need to take your medicine.”
As Xi Xiaye sat up and moved a little, she noticed that her whole body ached and she felt very uncomfortable.
It must be because of last night.
She threw him a glare.
He chuckled and helped her up. “I’ve prepared the bath water for you. Your clothes are on the hanger.”
“Don’t do that position again.” She scowled.
“What position?” He raised his eyebrows and shot her an odd smile.
“What position? Bastard! What position?!”
Xi Xiaye grabbed a pillow and threw it at him before she stood up. Immediately, the blanket fell off her, so she was totally naked!
With a shrill shriek, she quickly picked the blanket back up to cover herself.
Mu Yuchen caught the pillow deftly. “Missus, I noticed that your body seems to be getting better.”
Xi Xiaye’s eyes brightened and she looked at him in surprise as she put her hand on her waist. “Really? I thought I might’ve gotten fatter recently...”
He smiled. This girl pretended like she did not really care, but she was really concerned about her figure.
This cunning man dealt with it with just a simple compliment.
Xi Xiaye quickly washed up before lunch. She then looked at him reading through some documents on the sofa. “Aren’t you heading to the office today?”
“There’s no point going every day when I’ve already arranged the tasks. Otherwise, what would differentiate me from all my employees?” He continued straightforwardly without even averting his gaze, “You should rest at home for a few days. I’ve applied leave for you.”
Xi Xiaye frowned but did not say anything. She just walked towards him slowly.
When she got nearer, he dragged her into his arms.
Xi Xiaye sat down and leaned into him, stealing a glance at the document in his hand. “What project is this?”
“Movie City. Ah Mo wants to be transferred back to City Z. What do you think?” he asked for her opinion.
She gave it some thought. “That’s good. It’d be better for him to stay here as his relationship with Ah Shi is progressing. Although there’s more room to grow for him over there, it’s a sensitive period right now. I’m sure such chances will present itself in the future. Haven’t you heard before that it’s difficult to maintain a long distance relationship?”
“A long distance relationship?” He gave her a surprised look before smiling. “Don’t worry. This won’t affect them, but since you think so, I’ll respect his decision then.”
“Mmm, actually I think Ah Shi might feel lonely. It’d be great for Ah Mo to be by her side. He’s much more sensible than you. Several days ago, I was on a call with Su Nan and she told me that she bumped into Ah Mo and Ah Shi shopping around at the New Era Plaza for quite some time. I’ve never seen you come shopping with me,” she ranted.
“I’ll go shopping with you tomorrow.”
His kind intent earned him an eye roll instead.
“I’m heading to the west of the city tomorrow. Sis Li messaged me that Sis Lan is arriving tonight. We should be able to find her tomorrow.”
She suddenly remembered Sis Li’s message. After giving it some thought, she turned to him. “Did you send anyone to investigate Sis Lan?”
“She’s a well-known manager within the industry and a daughter of a prestigious family. However, her family went out of business which is why she joined the entertainment industry. Her style of working is very decisive and exceptional. She was working at the company my aunt made her debut at. Aunty was scouted and cultivated, then she became Aunty’s manager. They’ve been together for a very long time, so I’m sure they’re very close. They kind of lost contact ever since Aunty was pregnant with Lingtian and retired. When Aunty came out of retirement, she got a different manager, and Sis Lan didn’t contact her at all.”
Mu Yuchen briefly shared the information he received with Xi Xiaye. “I’m quite surprised. According to the investigation results, they were extremely close during the years that they worked together, but they rarely contacted each other after Aunty retired. They didn’t even greet each other during the holidays and celebrations too. Why would she come back to visit Aunty’s grave?”
“Not contacting doesn’t mean they don’t care. I think with Aunty’s condition at that point in time, it might’ve been better if they didn’t contact each other. You know the paparazzi are sharp. Maybe that was her concern,” Xi Xiaye voiced out her thoughts.
“I’ll go with you tomorrow. Remember to bring Zitong along as well.” He gave her a reminder before going back to reading his document.
Xi Xiaye nodded, but then glared at him when she saw that he went back to his documents again. An idea of a prank went through her head. Stealthily, she wrapped her arms around his shoulder as she closed in and touched him sensually.
He definitely would not be able to calm down!
His hand wrapped around her waist uncontrollably when her pleasant scent bathed all over him. “Stay put...”
“I’m staying put...” She smiled as her eyes brightened.
He suddenly put his document away and glanced at her. “It seems like you’re not satisfied from last night!”
As he was about to grab her, Xi Xiaye stood up swiftly and ran away!
You deserve it!
Hmph!
