The dim yellow streetlights bathed the ground. From ti to ti, so cars would drive past, and the air had the faint presence of a cool wind.
Dongfang Liuyun looked down at the coat on her lap, thought about it, and did not reject it. She casually picked it up and put it over her shoulders. Then, she turned to the man beside her and said calmly, “Thank you! You’re a qualified gentleman.”
Upon hearing that, Qi Lei chuckled and teased her, “Actually, I don’t think I’m qualified. I’m only a gentleman to gorgeous won.”
“How practical of you, but I do admire your honesty. At least, you’re better than those hypocritical people.” Dongfang Liuyun abruptly averted her gaze and looked towards the busy road.
“Aren’t you quite honest and frank yourself?” Qi Lei recalled the ti she called out that man called Ah Jin earlier.
Dongfang Liuyun seed to know what he was thinking about and she laughed calmly. “Well, that depends on who I’m talking to. You need to make things clear with so people. Otherwise, they will be egoistic and have an exaggerated opinion of their own abilities.”
“You always hit the nail on the head. You might easily make others unhappy. Aren’t you worried?” Qi Lei stared at her, a little surprised while a aningful light gathered in his gaze.
“It’s not a bad thing to get straight to the point. People nowadays lack that genuinity. Of course, soone like wouldn’t be good socializing with those in your scene. I’m considered half a scholar now. Most scholars are like this, so in my father’s words, I’m destined to be soone who isn’t going to achieve much in life.”
When she said this, she seed a little helpless as she sighed and slowly propped herself up to stand. “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s go find so food. It’s right up front.”
Then, before Qi Lei could answer, she just continued walking ahead.
The streetlights stretched her long shadow out. When Qi Lei looked up, he seed to be in a stupor. After a while, he gently picked up his bag and silently followed after her.
...
After she explained what Mu Yuchen wanted to Detective Zhang, the latter hesitated for a mont but agreed to Xi Xiaye’s request in the end. When the two of them left the area, it was already getting dark.
Xi Xiaye did not return to Maple Residence imdiately. Instead, she went back to get so docunts from Fuhua before heading ho.
The sky was completely dark at this point. Mu Yuchen had called from ho several tis to prompt her now, so Xi Xiaye was looking forward to going ho. She took her bag and rushed to leave the office.
However, she had just stepped out of the elevator when the receptionist respectfully walked up to her. “CEO Xi, the florist has sent over flowers for you!”
Flowers?
Xi Xiaye frowned, then looked to the receptionist where a bouquet of beautiful yellow roses imdiately greeted her sight.
Yellow roses?
Who would send her these?
Mu Yuchen?
The first person Xi Xiaye thought of was her man.
However, that was not right. Her man would never send her these flowers as he would either send red or blue roses. What would these flowers an?
Surprised, Xi Xiaye then walked over and took the bouquet from the receptionist. She examined it for a while then asked, “Who sent this?”
The lady at the receptionist shook her head. “I don’t know. It was the florist that sent it over. Oh, right, I think there’s a card!”
Upon hearing that, Xi Xiaye looked around and found a light yellow envelope inside.
She handed the bouquet to the receptionist before swiftly opening the envelope. She saw a beautiful card inside which said: To apologize for my behavior. Please understand I have no ill intentions!
Signed by, Qi Feng!
When the two characters entered Xi Xiaye’s sight. She imdiately frowned and her twinkling eyes were filled with suspicion!
What did Qi Feng an by this?
She looked in confusion at this card for a long ti, then finally sighed. She nodded to the receptionist and waved the card in her hand before saying calmly, “Got it. Keep the flowers for yourself.”
Then, she walked to the entrance, and her frail figure very quickly vanished out the door.
Outside the door, a bodyguard had already arranged for a car to co over. When he saw Xi Xiaye, he quickly opened the car door for her and she quietly got in while pondering why Qi Feng had done that.
When she returned ho, it was already past 8 p.m. and only Mu Yuchen was left at ho. Mu Yinan had brought Mu Xiaocheng straight back to the old Mu residence. Since Mu Yinan said that it was too quiet alone, Mu Yuchen was considerate about his feelings and he let Aunt Fang and Sis Wang go over with him. That way, it would be easier to take care of Mu Xiaocheng too.
After the husband and wife finished a simple dinner, Mu Yuchen went upstairs. Xi Xiaye put away the dishes, went upstairs for a shower, then decided that she should tell him about it, so she took the card and slowly pushed open the door to the study room.
The study room was quiet. The man was sitting still and upright before his desk, focused on the docunt before him.
When he heard the door open, he quickly looked up at the door. Upon seeing her slender figure standing at the door, he put down the docunt and reached out to her as he said softly, “Co over!”
Xi Xiaye thought about it before carefully walking over.
“What’s wrong? You look like you’ve had sothing on your mind the whole night. If I don’t ask you, were you not planning on telling , hmm?” His sensitive and soft voice was heard. In the next instant, he pulled her to sit on his lap.
Xi Xiaye steadied herself and turned to say to him calmly, “Could you tell that sothing was on my mind?”
“I could already roughly guess what you’re thinking. Do you think I wouldn’t have been able to tell?” He shot her a side look.
“You make yourself sound as if you’re God. Can you tell what’s on my mind then?” Xi Xiaye rolled her eyes at him, not to be outdone.
“That I really don’t know. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be asking.”
When Xi Xiaye heard that she laughed gently and rolled her eyes. “I didn’t want to tell you about this at first, but I can’t figure it out myself, so I’ll tell you and you figure it out for .”
“Mmm? What is it that could stump you? Tell . I’ll help you analyze it!” Mu Yuchen looked happily at her while he leaned back leisurely against the chair.
