Chapter 53 -53 Mysterious phone call_1

It rang for a long time before she finally picked up the phone.

“Hello?”

“Miss Su–” The voice on the phone was dignified and gentle, yet carried an undertone of indifference and distance.

Su Wanxia’s mind went blank in an instant, her dark pupils suddenly dilated, and in just a split second, her heart plunged to the abyss, and she almost dropped the phone from her hand. She quickly grasped it tightly and gently brought it to her ear, but her throat couldn’t utter a word.

“What’s the matter? Have you forgotten who I am?” The voice on the phone was calm, seemingly very certain that Su Wanxia had not forgotten him.

The two fell silent for a long while, and at last, Su Wanxia managed to muster two words, “I haven’t.” How could she forget that voice? When she first went abroad, it haunted her dreams like a curse every day, how could she forget?

“Good, I hope Miss Su has not forgotten our agreement,” he continued.

Su Wanxia’s heart trembled weakly, and she let her eyelids droop powerlessly, “I haven’t.”

“I hope so, I don’t want any more words on this, you should understand what I mean,” he affirmed.

“Mhm.”

“I do not wish for us to have another call or encounter, goodbye.” The voice on the phone was very pleasant, but at that moment, it swirled in her brain like a curse, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

After hanging up, she deleted the call log and then collapsed powerlessly into the rocking chair, closing her eyes wearily.

Mu Yingchen was conversing with the head of a company he often collaborated with, but from time to time, he paid attention to Su Wanxia. He clearly noticed something was off with her after she took a phone call, so he excused himself from the two company heads and walked over to her.

As he approached, seeing her knitted brows and the weary look on her face, his heart inexplicably skipped a beat. The weariness in her expression made him feel uneasy, afraid.

“Wanwan,” he called out anxiously.

Su Wanxia instantly opened her eyes, the unease in Mu Yingchen’s expression now gone, replaced by a soft, tender smile, “Are you done talking?”

“Yeah, whose call was that just now?” he blurted out, his intuition telling him that her uneasiness was related to the phone call.

Su Wanxia paused for a moment, then casually said, “It was an overseas client, he wanted me to design another villa for him, but I told him I’m now in China, regretfully.”

“Is that so?” Mu Yingchen looked at her somewhat skeptically, was it really so?

“What else could it be, Mu Yingchen, do I need to report every call I receive to you?” Su Wanxia’s tone had a hint of coquetry.

Mu Yingchen’s heart softened, and he didn’t pursue the matter further, perhaps he was overthinking. “Do you want to go play a bit more?” he asked, gazing at her fondly.

Su Wanxia gave him a sweet smile, “No more playing, you go join Fengfeng and the others,” she said, and just then, Kang Xiaolan approached them.

“Big CEO, my Fengfeng is waiting for you over there,” Kang Xiaolan said with a face full of sweetness.

The corner of Su Wanxia’s mouth twitched, a woman in love truly is different.

Mu Yingchen said another word to Su Wanxia before heading in the direction of Mu Feng.

With a mischievous smile, Kang Xiaolan sat down beside Su Wanxia, “Wanxia, you two have finally made up.”

Su Wanxia shrugged her shoulders, “You saw it, that’s just how it is.”

Kang Xiaolan’s playful expression faded, and she sighed, “Actually, during the years you weren’t here, in my view, Mu Yingchen’s life was really monotonous, boring, and dull.”

Su Wanxia’s heart tightened, and she remained silent.

Kang Xiaolan continued, “Every day he had an icy face and worked himself to death, never giving himself time to relax. It made Mu Feng and the others anxious to watch.”

Su Wanxia lowered her eyelids again, and her thick, long eyelashes concealed the expression in her eyes.

“But since you’ve come back, he’s changed a lot. He never used to join us for these kinds of recreational activities. Wanxia, I really don’t understand. You loved him so much back then, and it was not easy for him to fall in love with you. Why did you suddenly go abroad?” Kang Xiaolan said, her face filled with confusion.

Shielding the bitterness in her heart, Su Wanxia rolled her eyes at Kang Xiaolan, “I say, cook, I’m doing well with him now, aren’t I? Let’s not talk about the past. Are you trying to make me feel bad on purpose?”

“Alright, alright, we won’t talk about it,” Kang Xiaolan said with a grin, then eagerly and excitedly spoke to Su Wanxia, “Wanxia, I’m thinking of getting registered with Fengfeng, what do you think?”

“Ah? So soon!” Su Wanxia was somewhat astonished, “You, you’re together now?”

Kang Xiaolan turned shy under Su Wanxia’s questioning, and finally nodded her head bashfully.

Su Wanxia looked at Kang Xiaolan in shock, asking somewhat skeptically, “You’re not pregnant, are you?” She had asked casually, driven by a hint of curiosity.

Who would’ve thought—

“Hmm,” Kang Xiaolan nodded again.

“No way?” Su Wanxia gasped in shock. Wasn’t today’s surprise a bit too much?

Kang Xiaolan, startled by her exclamation, nervously patted her chest and then gently touched her flat belly, “Wanxia, keep it down, what if you scare the baby?”

Su Wanxia was instantly flustered, unable to come to terms with the fact that this stunning beauty before her was now pregnant.

“Does Mu Feng know?”

“Hmm, he knows,” Kang Xiaolan confirmed.

Su Wanxia prodded further, “And has he mentioned getting registered with you?”

“Hmm, he said he will take me to meet his parents in a few days,” Kang Xiaolan replied, her nerves showing as she looked at Su Wanxia, “Actually, I’m quite nervous. What if his parents don’t like me?”

Su Wanxia felt a twinge in her heart again. She suddenly remembered Mu Yingchen mentioning taking her to meet his mother and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

“You’re overthinking it. Now that it’s come to this, what can they do if they don’t like it?” The Mu Family highly valued bloodlines; they would never let a child bearing Mu’s blood be abandoned.

“Really? If that’s the case, then that’s great. I was worried that his parents might disagree with our marriage,” Kang Xiaolan voiced her concerns.

Su Wanxia could understand Kang Xiaolan’s feelings at this moment. Though Mu Feng was not the one in control of the Mu Family, he was the person with the second-highest shares in the Mu Family besides Mu Yingchen.

Mu Feng’s grandfather and Mu Yingchen’s grandfather were brothers. Su Wanxia had heard about them from Ji Hua, but she had never met these legendary figures.

At first, Su Wanxia thought Mu Feng, Ji Hua, and Mu Yingchen shared the same grandfather, only to find out later that this was not the case. Mu Yingchen was the rightful heir of the Mu Group, whereas Mu Feng and the others were from a collateral branch.
