The secretary laughed: "Why would CEO not want to see Madam?" She had sensed the CEO"s feelings for his mistress long ago, and as expected, everything went according to her guesses.There was no response from the office.
The smile on the secretary"s face stiffened.
Could it be that there was a conflict between husband and wife?
"Let her in."
Fortunately, Mu Chen finally had a response, allowing the Secretary-General to breathe a sigh of relief. Zhang Xiao was amused by the secretary"s reaction and had a good impression of his. She still remembered how the secretary had delivered the bicycle to her in place of Mu Chen.
The door opened at that moment.
It was Meng Yi Fan.
Hearing that Zhang Xiao had come, Meng Yi Fan instinctively decided to avoid it.
He was afraid that Mu Chen would guard against him.
It could be said that Mu Chen was too narrow-minded and was also because he was too concerned about Zhang Xiao. Too many men had their thoughts about Zhang Xiao, so Mu Chen was even on guard against this good friend of his. Meng Yi Fan had always been a tactful person. Since Zhang Xiao had come, it was better for him to take the initiative to leave than to let Mu Chen tell him to scram.
"Director Meng."
Zhang Xiao greeted Meng Yi Fan politely.
When he pa.s.sed by Zhang Xiao, he gave her an enigmatic look.
Zhang Xiao entered.
Mu Chen was in the teahouse.
Zhang Xiao walked to the front of the sofa and sat down at the spot that Meng Yi Fan had just sat.
The office was quiet.
Zhang Xiao did not turn around to enter teahouse. Instead, she sat down on the back of the sofa and looked out the window at the gloomy sky.
Mu Chen had brewed a pot of new tea, and when he came out with the teapot, he did not walk over immediately. Instead, he leaned against the door of the teahouse, his pitch black eyes quietly watching Zhang Xiao, who was facing her back.
Among the couple, one was staring at the back of the figure while the other was looking at the gray sky outside the window.
Terrible silence.
What was she thinking?
Mu Chen"s eyes were deep, and his lips were pressed tightly together. It had been a long time since he had pursed his lips like a clam when he was with Zhang Xiao.
Mu Chen told himself that if he had to believe her, nothing would happen to her and Er Dong Hao.
But she was obviously going back to the company for a meeting in the afternoon, so why was she in the hospital? Or was it Er Dong Hao"s ward? Even if he went to see Er Dong Hao, he didn"t need to personally feed him medicine.
She had not yet fed him the medicine herself.
Mu Chen was jealous.
It was impossible not to be jealous to see such a picture.
The jealousy was still flying everywhere.
He was sure that the person who sent him the colorful letter was Er Dong Hao"s person. Er Dong Hao wanted him to misunderstand. He knew what Er Dong Hao was thinking, but he couldn"t help but feel jealous.
She was a magnet, always drawing in a lot of the opposite s.e.x. She was a beautiful flower of branches, filled with innumerable raving b.u.t.terflies, and from the moment he had fallen in love with her, he had been on guard against all men, isolating her from the man who might be his rival.
After a long while, Mu Chen walked over with the teapot. He first placed the teapot on the tea table, then sat opposite of Zhang Xiao and didn"t sit next to her.
His movements pulled Zhang Xiao back from her thoughts, and the pair of husband and wife looked at each other.
Mu Chen could see the confusion in his eyes. Something was bothering her.
Zhang Xiao then saw an unprecedented calmness in Mu Chen"s eyes.
Laughing, Zhang Xiao broke the silence between husband and wife, "Mu Chen, am I disturbing your work?"
Mu Chen withdrew his gaze from her and slowly organized the customer information that Meng Yi Fan had sent to him. He said gently: "No, I just happened to have a few things to discuss with Yi Fan. I"ve finished talking about it now."
Zhang Xiao acknowledged.
The couple fell silent again.
"Would you like some tea? I made it myself." After tidying up the doc.u.ments, Mu Chen asked Zhang Xiao.
Zhang Xiao still smiled, she picked up a cup from the saucer and used the tea to wash it. Then she poured herself a cup of tea, and when she brought the cup to her mouth and took a sip, her actions became stiff.
The tea had become colder, not the tea that had just been brewed.
Mu Chen was not proficient in the Way of Tea, so it did not take him that long to make the tea, but the tea was colder, which meant that he had brewed the tea long ago and stood behind her while looking at her for a long time.
Sensing that the tea had cooled down, Zhang Xiao finished her cup of tea quietly. She placed a lot of the tea leaves down, and the tea became as bitter and bitter as Huang Lian.
"Mu Chen, you have never liked drinking tea."
Putting down the cup, Zhang Xiao looked at her husband.
"Mu Chen, do you have any objections to me?"
Zhang Xiao directly asked out the doubt in her heart.
Mu Chen"s eyes flashed, he stood up, took the customer information and returned to his desk, sat down, opened the drawer and sealed the information, then sat on the swivel chair for a minute, then looked over, his gaze intersecting with Zhang Xiao"s in the air, but did not say a word.
He didn"t know if he should ask her.
Last time, she had misunderstood him because of the incident with the journalist. He had said that husband and wife had to trust each other.
How long had it been since the incident, and something had happened between them …
After getting up, Mu Chen walked around the table.
He stood in front of Zhang Xiao, looking down at her from above. Zhang Xiao looked up and met his gaze, and then his entire body was pressed down like a mountain. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiao was pressed down on the sofa by him.
"Mu Chen?"
Zhang Xiao frowned. Something was wrong, very wrong.
"What"s wrong with you? What did I do wrong? "
Mu Chen stared into her eyes, his pursed lips had loosened as he asked softly: "You said that you"re going to have a meeting this afternoon, is it really going to be like that?"
Zhang Xiao was startled, what was the meaning of his question?
Her reaction fell into Mu Chen"s eyes, and the jealousy in Mu Chen"s heart grew even stronger. Did she intend to hide it?
"Nope."
Just when Mu Chen thought that Zhang Xiao would hide something, Zhang Xiao answered honestly, "I did not have a meeting in the afternoon."
Mu Chen waited for Zhang Xiao"s explanation with calm eyes.
"My dad indeed told me that there would be a meeting in the afternoon and that it was very important, so he insisted that I attend it. I rushed back from the construction site and met Er Dong Hao.
From the moment Mu Chen opened his mouth to ask her, Zhang Xiao already knew the reason behind Mu Chen"s silence.
Her every move in the hospital was probably known by her family"s man.
This man was good at everything, except that he was petty and loved to be jealous.
"Er Dong Hao fainted?"
"Yes, he caught a cold, and the severe inflammation from the wound on his hand caused him to have a high fever. He refused to go to the hospital, but fainted in the elevator instead, and I sent him to the hospital with Xiujie." Zhang Xiao gave a brief summary of what had happened.
Mu Chen frowned.
"He"s plotting against you!"
The detestable Er Dong Hao.
Zhang Xiao laughed bitterly, "I know, but he fainted and I couldn"t do anything to not save him. At that time, none of his subordinates were by his side, I could only send him to the hospital."
"What did you do in the hospital?"
Mu Chen asked with a cold and sour face.
