Chapter 110: Chapter 110 What Do You Want?_1
Mu Yingchen seed to sense her gaze, and he suddenly turned his head, tangling his eyes with hers.
“Is it okay?” His tone was gentle.
Su Wanxia hooked the corners of her lips, her clear eyes shining brightly.
“Okay.”
Mu Yingchen suddenly extended his hand and drew her into his embrace.
A hand gently caressed her long hair.
“Stay by my side.”
His tone was low, as if he were talking to himself, and yet, as if he were confiding in Su Wanxia.
Su Wanxia’s heart clenched, her lips moved, but in the end, not a word was uttered.
A trace of loss flickered through Mu Yingchen’s deep eyes, and the arm holding her tightened.
“I was wondering where everyone had gone, turns out you’re here showing affection,” Ji Hua’s nonchalant voice ca from behind the two.
Su Wanxia imdiately left Mu Yingchen’s embrace, looking sowhat awkwardly at the crowd behind her.
But Mu Yingchen didn’t show any signs of embarrassnt; he slightly frowned as he looked at the group of people as though he was dissatisfied with their intrusion on his private mont.
“Heh heh, brother, it’s ti to go, it’s almost twelve o’clock,” Mu Chuyang said with a smile.
Mu Yingchen nodded and humd, “Let’s go.”
Jian Manhui watched Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia’s backs, sighing barely audibly, then lifted her feet to follow them.
Before long—another half a month had passed.
The weather slowly transitioned into winter, with the cold air hitting forcefully, leaving no trace of autumn.
Su Wanxia’s work at the Mu Group had completely ended, just waiting for a word from Mu Yingchen, and then they could return where they had co from.
Wen Lingya’s designs had also undergone major changes and were finally approved.
The changes weren’t made by Su Wanxia and ng Can but by her, referencing the materials Su Wanxia had given her, after mulling over them herself and also consulting ng Can a few tis.
As for why she didn’t co to find Su Wanxia, Su Wanxia just smiled without saying a word, not taking it to heart.
Mu Yingchen, on the other hand, seed especially busy lately; it was said that he had at least two etings every day and spent the rest of the ti either in his office or personally eting so major partners or clients.
Counting it all, she really hadn’t seen much of him in this last half month.
That night, just after Su Wanxia lay down on the bed, Jesse called.
She held the phone for a long ti before finally answering.
“Jesse.”
“Sumr, have you slept?”
“Not yet.”
Jesse was silent for a while on the phone before saying, “The Mu Group emailed , informing that the project design is complete. Is that so?”
Su Wanxia paused, then laughed softly, “Yes.”
“Then you—are you coming back?” Jesse’s tone was uncertain.
Su Wanxia’s hand tightened on the phone, and her brow furrowed.
She was wavering, hesitating; she thought countless tis during this period, agonized over it endlessly, yet she was still unable to clearly answer Jesse’s question.
Because, if she couldn’t answer herself, how could she answer him?
Her silence seed to tell Jesse sothing.
“Whatever decision you make, I will support you.”
This statent from Jesse made Su Wanxia’s heart even more entangled.
Her ti at Huai Company was known to all.
Along the way, Jesse had been her guardian angel.
If it hadn’t been for Jesse, perhaps she wouldn’t have achieved what she had today.
But to return to Huai ant to leave Mu Yingchen, to be thousands of miles apart from him once again.
On one side was the kindness and friendship; on the other was a love known to be fruitless.
Such a choice, really hard—
“Jesse, can we talk about this issue when I get back to the company for a report?” After the project was over, she definitely had to go back to report the details of the plan to the company.
Jesse smiled, and it looked like he breathed a sigh of relief at the sa ti.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
“Hmm.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Wanxia lay in bed and couldn’t fall asleep no matter what; she thought she should ask Mu Yingchen when she could leave the Mu Group.
Two days passed, and Mu Yingchen still hadn’t sent them in the design departnt the notice to wrap up.
Because their job was design, they could move on to other work after the plan was made; there was no need to stay there indefinitely.
By the ti the project’s construction was completely finished, they could co back to discuss if there were any problems.
But she had already been idle for two or three days, and Mu Yingchen still hadn’t made a move; what exactly did he an?
After two in the afternoon, she finally couldn’t stop herself and went to look for Mu Yingchen.
When she arrived at his office, he was in the middle of a video conference; this ti, she smartly tucked herself in the corner of the sofa, waiting for his eting to end.
The mont Mu Yingchen saw her enter, a strong laugh flickered through his eyes, and his heart felt a slight thrill.
He had been really busy lately, didn’t have much free ti to accompany her; unexpectedly, today she actually ca looking for him on her own, it was a surprise.
anwhile, Su Wanxia was beating a drum in her heart, uncertain if he would get angry with her for asking this question.
But the work was indeed over, there wasn’t anything to do, and staying here would just be mooching, wouldn’t it?
About twenty minutes later, Mu Yingchen finally ended the eting.
Su Wanxia hesitated, looking at him as if she wanted to say sothing.
“What is it?” He looked at her, feeling exceptionally pleased.
She twisted her hands together, bit her lip, and started to speak softly.
“That, the project is already completed, should our design departnt be leaving—” She originally wanted to say they should return to their own company, but then she thought, saying ‘return to our own company’ wouldn’t that be tantamount to saying going back to England?
Subconsciously, she felt that she shouldn’t say ‘return to our company.’
Mu Yingchen, hearing her speak, saw the laughter disappear from the depths of his eyes in an instant.
He felt as if his body was stiffening out of his control.
She wanted to leave, she wanted to leave him again—
Wasn’t it good to stay by his side?
“Leave to where?” His voice contained a trace of weakness.
Su Wanxia, not expecting him to ask that, hesitated for a while before she had to answer softly, “Return to the company.”
Mu Yingchen clenched his hands.
“Where is your company?” He stared at her, his voice light.
If not for the silence in the office, Su Wanxia would have thought she was hallucinating.
She knew the aning behind his words, but it was the truth.
She lowered her head, not daring to look into his eyes, and muttered two words: “England.”
Mu Yingchen closed his eyes, and his dense, trembling lashes conveyed the intense shaking of his heart at this mont.
Seeing him like this, Su Wanxia’s heart also throbbed with pain.
All of a sudden, Mu Yingchen opened his eyes, dark as obsidian, and stared fixedly at Su Wanxia, his usually magnificent voice now tinged with a faint, hoarse sadness.
“If I asked you to choose between
and everything in England, what is it that you would want?”
Su Wanxia clutched her hands tightly, and the echoing in her mind was that question: what do you want?
“You don’t have to answer now; tell
when you have truly thought it through,” Mu Yingchen stood up and slowly walked towards the observation deck.
“Go back, I want to be alone for a while.”
Su Wanxia had never seen Mu Yingchen like this; at this mont, he was so powerless, lancholic, weary, and her heart ached at the expression in his eyes. Was that sorrow?
He was actually—sorrowful?
