Chapter 79

Su Wanxia also noticed that something was off with Mu Yingchen, and her face instantly flushed with heat. She silently regretted her actions from moments before.

Mu Yingchen looked at her face, red as a shrimp, and said with a bit of helplessness in his soft voice, “Were you born to torment me?”

Upon hearing this, Su Wanxia immediately pursed her lips, “Why don’t you say that you were born to torment me?”

Mu Yingchen chuckled lightly, “If that’s really the case, then I am honored to have the chance to torment you.”

“Is that so?” Su Wanxia murmured softly, indeed, it had always been him tormenting her. She longed to be closer to him yet dared not approach. This back and forth was nearly driving her to the brink of collapse.

“Yes, it means you care about me.”

Su Wanxia was at a loss for words, “Then you can take your joy in secret.”

“I am taking my joy in secret,” Mu Yingchen shamelessly admitted.

Su Wanxia felt that she should just shut up and reflect on when he became so scheming and shameless, making it almost impossible for her to cope.

“Why are you not talking?”

“Be good, talk.”

“Or is it that you want to sleep? I’m quite tired myself, let’s go rest together,” Mu Yingchen deliberately emphasized the words “together”, then proceeded to pick up Su Wanxia, preparing to head to the resting room.

All of a sudden, Su Wanxia couldn’t hold it in anymore, she blurted out in frustration, “Mu Yingchen, you should be working!”

A faint smile flickered in the depths of Mu Yingchen’s dark, profound eyes, “Aren’t you tired? I’ll keep you company for a rest.”

A vein throbbed on Su Wanxia’s forehead. When had she said she was tired? Did she even utter a word about being tired? Besides, if she let him accompany her to rest, would they be able to get any rest at all?

“I’m not tired.”

“Really?”

“Mhm.”

“Not resting?”

“Not resting!”

“Then make me a cup of coffee!”

Su Wanxia beat her chest and stamped her feet in exasperation. Oh God! Was she too naive, or was he too cunning?

“Hadn’t you had enough this morning?” Su Wanxia’s voice had a tinge of jealousy. She had heard from Xiaolan that the woman had run to his office seven or eight times this morning. Oh, right, counted the time she came just now as well.

Mu Yingchen curled his lips, stroke her hair and said softly, “I didn’t drink any this morning, so where does this ‘enough’ come from?”

“Quibbling! That woman clearly came seven or eight times this morning,” Su Wanxia blurted out what she was thinking without realizing it.

The smile on Mu Yingchen’s face deepened as he looked down at the regretful Su Wanxia and said, “You’ve finally spoken your true feelings.”

Su Wanxia huffed in annoyed embarrassment and turned her face away to avoid looking at the man who was smiling broadly.

Mu Yingchen turned her face towards him, and their gazes instantly tangled.

“Wanwan, just because she brought it in doesn’t mean I would drink it,” he then said in an even softer and deeper voice, “I know her presence upsets you, but you must believe that to me, she is nothing. When the time comes, you will understand the purpose of her presence.”

Su Wanxia felt the redness in her face due to Mu Yingchen voicing her thoughts, but a sweet sensation slowly emanated in her heart.

“Remember what I said today, you must not doubt me in the future,” Mu Yingchen’s tone held a bit of displeasure. The moment she pushed the door open, there was clearly fear in her eyes. Wasn’t he worth her trust at all?

“I got it,” Su Wanxia averted her gaze and muttered softly.

Mu Yingchen ruffled her hair, “So, can you make coffee for me now?” He hadn’t had coffee all day and was indeed a bit tired. Everything Bai Yudie brought in went straight down the drain. As long as she kept to herself, he wouldn’t touch her, and regarding her actions, he turned a blind eye—it was just to save face for the Bai Family. But if she ever did something she shouldn’t, he would not be polite anymore.

Su Wanxia rolled her eyes, got up from him and walked towards the door without looking back.

Mu Yingchen watched her adorable antics and couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head.

Outside, Bai Yudie, who had been paying close attention to the CEO’s office from the secretarial room, noticed that the door to the CEO’s office had been tightly shut for an hour, without the slightest sound.

She couldn’t help but let her thoughts run wild in her mind. Because her grandfather had unfortunately passed away for the sake of the Mu Family, the elder of the Mu Family had promised the Bai Family that they would fulfill any of their requests. For the past ten years, they had also been supporting the Bai Family, allowing the Bai Family to be recognized among the ranks of old and influential families, even though they were not inferior to the Mu Family in their roots.

5 years ago, her parents made a request to the Mu Family: They wanted her to marry into the Mu Family and become the young lady of the Mu Family. When she first heard this news, she was both excited and frightened. Marry the wise, cold, noble, and stunning heir of the Mu Family, Mu Yingchen? Could this be true? She remembered being so agitated that she couldn’t sleep for three days straight. She longed to marry the man of legend but also feared that he would not like her.

Another year passed, and she finally got her wish to meet the man she had always idealized. During the elder Mu’s birthday, he suddenly appeared at the banquet like a deity, abruptly entering her field of vision. Just one glance and she was deeply in love, yet it was a net cast for her alone.

It was then that she discovered he already had someone else in his heart. She was heartbroken and cried for a very long time. How could she not be in pain when the man she wished to marry didn’t even glance at her?

But her parents told her, with Yingchen’s status, it’s normal for him to have many women, but the only one who could marry Yingchen would be her—Bai Yudie—because this was a promise made by the elder of the Mu Family to theirs.

So she silently stayed abroad, waiting for the annual visits to see the elder Mu abroad, stealing glances at him, sometimes even gathering the courage to talk to him. But his expressions were always indifferent, cold, with a kind of detachment that pushed people away.

Thankfully, with the promise of the elder Mu, she wasn’t too worried, always believing that when Yingchen reached the appropriate age to marry, she could blissfully become his wife and stay by his side forever.

But this year, there were sudden rumors of him having a girlfriend, and it became widely known, causing a stir throughout the city. She then realized the severity of the matter. Her parents had hinted to the elder Mu about her marriage with Yingchen, and the elder Mu did not hesitate to agree, saying he would arrange their marriage when Yingchen visited.

She was ecstatic, thinking she would finally be able to marry him, but what she eagerly awaited wasn’t marriage news, but a message to join him in China. She felt confused and uneasy. Wasn’t the marriage supposed to be settled? Why send her to China with him, and as his secretary no less?
