Ji Mu Cheng"s complexion was as though a layer of frost, but he was unwilling to lower himself to her level.
She could also be considered as protecting her son. This was a human instinct.
"Are you sure you want to continue talking to me in this nonexistent pajamas?" The man reminded her appropriately.
That was because her body that had been shaking when she was angry had almost sunk into his heart.
Under the dim white light, Ji Mu City"s cold heart seemed to have been melted by the boiling water as ripples appeared on its surface.
The thought of having a night with her five years ago made Ji Mu City unable to turn a blind eye.
Only now did Xia Xin realize his embarra.s.sment. He immediately stretched out his hand to cover his face, but it was already too late.
The man"s gaze was sharp. He had seen everything he should have seen.
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Xia Xinyan angrily ran back to her bedroom.
After being scolded, Ji Mu Cheng"s face darkened once more.
Ever since he met this woman, he seemed to have been scolded more than once.
Xia Xin quickly changed into a more conservative career set, her long hair tied into a ponytail. Since she still had to go to the company later, she had to put on a light and delicate makeup.
"Why aren"t you leaving?" With this thought in mind, Xia Xinyan frowned in displeasure when she saw that the man remained seated and unmoving.
"I have something to talk to you about!" Ji Mu Cheng stood up and moved closer to her step by step. "If there"s anything you need my help with, just say it. For my son"s sake, I will help you unconditionally!"
Xia Xinyan was stu
ed. Was this b.a.s.t.a.r.d really that kind?
Perhaps this was just another trap. In order to take his son away, he had deliberately put on a good face.
"No need, I don"t want to owe you a favor!" Although Xia Xinyan wanted to find someone to rely on, she was definitely not the type of person who was in danger.
"Are you sure?" Don"t you still have debts with Xia Family? I"ll help you! " Ji Mu Cheng took another step closer. At this moment, he lowered his head slightly as his lips were pressed against her ear, enunciating every word of his with great sincerity.
Xia Xinyan"s body stiffened as she abruptly took a few steps back, keeping a safe distance between them.
"This is my own problem. I will solve it myself, don"t worry about it!" Xia Xinyan did have debts with Xia Shu Ran and his wife, but she would definitely not dare to borrow their hands.
In the future, she would have the ability. She would definitely not let them go.
"There"s no need to be polite with me!" Ji Mu Cheng looked at the woman with an intense wariness in his eyes. In her heart, he made her feel even more uneasy than the adulterous couple before.
Since she was so wary of him, Ji Mu City didn"t force her.
He believed that one day, this woman would need his help.
"Are you going to go to the company or to my house?" Ji Mu Cheng sized her up and asked.
"I need to go to the company. You can bring Yu Chen back to your house first, I"ll go there later!" Xia Xinyan"s tone was cold.
"Alright!" Seeing that she gave him her son without worries, Ji Mucheng smiled, "I"ll wait for you at home with my son, come back early!"
Xia Xinyan"s heart suddenly stopped. When she raised her eyes, the man had already gracefully turned around and left.
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Xia Xinyan couldn"t think of any other words to describe her current mood, so she could only grit her teeth and curse.
Ji Mucheng went downstairs and saw his son playing with his a.s.sistant, Li Cheng, and two small dogs fighting beside him. The little guy watched with great interest.
"Son, do you like dogs?" Perhaps there really was a co
ection between father and son, but Ji Mu Cheng had found out his son"s hobby.
"I like it, I like bigger dogs!" When the little fellow was asked by his father, it immediately beamed with joy.
"Alright, today I"ll let Uncle Li Cheng pick one for you." Ji Mu Cheng always complied with his son"s request.
"Really? That"s great, Daddy, thank you! " After the little guy"s request was met, he happily pounced over and hugged his father"s long legs, expressing his joy.
Xia Xinxin carried a bag of trash downstairs and saw the warm scene of father and son together in the garden.
Her expression instantly froze.
What was wrong with her? Her son was so close to that man that it made her feel even worse.
Is it a selfish thing to do?
Ji Mu Cheng carried his son and headed towards the car.
Xia Xinyan waited for the Ji Mu City car to drive away before walking out from the darkness. Lowering his head, he walked towards the company in disappointment.
Arriving at the company, Xia Xin noticed that everyone around was looking at her strangely.
Her heart skipped a beat. Was it because of the matter of Ji Mucheng coming to the company to find her yesterday?
It couldn"t be, it became someone else"s gossip.
"Miss Xia, what is your relations.h.i.+p with Ji Mu City?"
"Yeah, he specifically came to the company to look for you yesterday. Are you two lovers?"
"He can"t be a client, right? He"s a man."
Xia Xinyan was surrounded by a group of girls. They were all asking about the relations.h.i.+p between her and Ji Mu City.
Xia Xinyan"s beautiful eyes spun as she replied, "You guys guessed right. He came to me to design the gown, but I rejected him!"
"Wow!"
The surroundings were filled with exclamations.
Xia Xinyan shrugged, "He has too many requests, I can"t agree to it. Even if he offered a high price, I still wouldn"t be able to satisfy his harsh requirements."
"Really? Big Sister Xin Nian, you really have some b.a.l.l.s. Other people might not even have a chance to see Ji Mu City, but you actually missed this chance for nothing. What a pity! "
"That"s right, I think you should first agree to his request. At least you"ll have a chance to meet him!"
Xia Xinzhi slightly raised her brows, "Did you deify him? I don"t see how handsome he is either! "
"Big Sister Xin Nian, your eyes are fine, right? He"s the number one candidate for being a prince on a white horse, he"s so rich, so young and full of male charm, he"s practically made for the two words" male G.o.d ", and yet you think that he"s not handsome, that"s unreasonable!"
Xia Xin harrumphed coldly in his heart, what use was handsome? Wasn"t this the same as stealing her son?
In her eyes, Ji Mu City was equivalent to a bandit.
Liu Chengtian walked over, dispersing the people surrounding Xia Xinxin. He said to Xia Xinyan, "Come in, I have something to talk to you about!"
Xia Xinxin quickly followed him into the office.
Liu Chengtian had a smile on his face, and his att.i.tude towards her became a bit more polite: "Mind, you really are our company"s lucky star. Look, the moment you arrive, our company"s performance will go up, and your order will be next year. Tsk tsk, how amazing, I believe your mentor will be proud of you."
Xia Xinyan immediately replied politely, "Director Liu is too polite. Your teacher will give me everything, as long as you don"t wipe away her face."
"How could that be? My grandfather had a very good relations.h.i.+p with your teacher back then, and your teacher is also very loyal. As for you, can I trouble you a bit more, I want to form a partners.h.i.+p with Ji Mu Cheng, you know, he runs the biggest entertainment company in the country, if he can become a sponsor of Nine Regions Entertainment Media Company, our company"s reputation will definitely become famous, don"t you ?? Try it, I"ll give you 20% commission. This is an unprecedented treatment! " Liu Chengtian was looking for her for the sake of the company.
