Just when Xi Yuan and Rong Xinghe were indulged in their eye-lock , Xi Wei creepily crawled inside the kitchen and stood between them as he faced his to be sister-in-law. It was now that Rong Xinghe noticed the man and fixed her gaze at him."Little Panda. What happened? Why are you here?", the woman asked.
"How could you do that to me, my G.o.ddess ?! What would my girlfriends have thought of me if they had seen me like this ?", the man complained.
"HEHEHE. I am sorry. I wronged you.", Rong Xinghe patted Xi Wei"s back ,"Let me make my special choco-vanilla cupcakes for you as an apology ?"
Xi Wei was just waiting for this bribe all along. So just like a little puppy , his eyes brightened up and he nodded his head vigorously. His G.o.ddess was brilliant at cooking and he was her personal taster.
But at this time , he felt that the temperature of the room was falling down rapidly. c.r.a.p ! How could he forget the existence of this jealous and possessive , wife-doting devil behind him? Xi Wei could sense the man staring daggers at him. Involuntarily , a chill ran down his spine and his back stiffened.
Xi Wei laughed nervously as he removed Rong Xinghe"s hand resting on his shoulder and swiftly placed it on Xi Yuan"s shoulder ,"Please continue ! I will prepare the ingredients !"
Xinguan : "....."
Shortly after , Rong Xinghe was discussing business matters with Xi Yuan and the Xi trio were stuffing their mouths with the delicious cupcakes. After sometime , Rong Xinghe"s phone rang.
The girl picked it up and heard Mo Zixuan"s subordinate"s panic-stricken voice ,"Ma"am ! Boss is extremely angry. He is quarreling with Cheng Tai. It is about you. Could you please come here at MZX News headquarters ? We are afraid that he might take some rash decisions."
Rong Xinghe"s brows furrowed as she took some seconds to digest the words completely. Why would her brother argue with his girlfriend all of a sudden ? And even if they had some disagreements , Mo Zixuan was not the type of person who would create a scene in front of the entire office. Unless a certain bi*ch was involved...
"Is the argument initiated by your Chief Operating Officer He Chen ?", Rong Xinghe asked.
"I don"t know what happened Ma"am but Cheng Tai started accusing Mr. Mo of impartiality and even disrespected you which resulted into Boss"s extreme reaction. But yes ! This happened only after Cheng Tai stepped out from COO He Chen"s office.", the junior reporter informed.
As expected of that psycho woman , Rong Xinghe thought.
"I am coming. Keep it confidential . MCST is not going to be with me and I don"t plan on attracting danger for you all.", Rong Xinghe hung up after saying the words and turned around to look at the man beside her ,"I don"t think I will able to take my revenge just yet. HEHEHE ! Will you drop me at MZX Headquarters? I need to make some calls in the car , so I won"t be able to drive."
"Is that even a question?", the man picked up the car keys.

Meanwhile , In MZX Channel HQ :
"Zixuan ! Why are you acting like this , nowadays? When Ms. He suggested to promote me to Senior Reporter, why did you refused ?! Where is your professionalism ? Just because she was your ex-fiancee, it doesn"t mean that I have to suffer. Or do you think that I am not capable enough?", Cheng Tai shouted angrily.
" Don"t mix your professional and personal life. I have a valid reason to refuse the proposal. I am not underestimating your capabilities. I simply believe that you need to experience more ground work before you step into those big shoes. Its a huge responsibility , after all.", Mo Zixuan replied calmly and glared at He Chen standing behind Cheng Tai ," Ms. Chen is COO and I am the Editor-in-Chief as well as CEO of MZX. She is simply here to take care of the business but I am the one calling the shots here. I naturally know what is right for this channel."
Mo Zixuan was a very professional person. One could say that Rong Xinghe had learnt the skill of separating professional and personal life from this man. Even though Cheng Tai was his girlfriend in personal life , he treated her like his any other colleague in professional life. And it was due to this fair mindset of the man , that the entire MZX bowed down to him and never felt wronged. They also had no opinions about his relations.h.i.+p with Cheng Tai.
But right now , he was very disappointed in this woman in front of him. How could she not distinguish right from wrong? How could she allow He Chen to manipulate her? How could his woman be manipulated so easily?
"So you are trying to say that I can not take this "huge responsibility"?", Cheng Tai raised her voice ,"Don"t you dare tell me about professionalism, Zixuan. You yourself involve your sister in your professional life. Why do you keep the information she gives to you to yourself ? Don"t you know that such information can increase MZX"s TRP ?! Yet , you do everything she tells you. Are you her puppet !?"
The moment Cheng Tai mentioned Rong Xinghe , every staff and employee in MZX gulped nervously and fixed their gazes on Mo Zixuan. Entire Country X knew how much the six men doted on their sisters.
Moreover , almost everyone knew that Rong Xinghe was a woman with high moral ground and that she had never been involved in anything indecent. Yet , Cheng Tai was making it sound like the Military Chief of the nation was doing something improper and a man as righteous as Mo Zixuan was covering for his sister deliberately.
As expected , Mo Zixuan"s gaze turned a few shades darker and a certain level of coldness started radiating through his body. The man looked like he had just appeared from h.e.l.l and things were about to get ugly.
Mo Zixuan reverted his gaze back at Cheng Tai from He Chen as he said in a threatening tone ," Ms.Tai , I suggest that you take note of every word you say. Don"t say anything you would regret later."
But Cheng Tai was still oblivious of what was going to happen next. It was not she didn"t sensed Mo Zixuan"s change in expression. It was just that she decided to ignore it.
"What did I say wrong? Not only did your sister created misunderstanding between you and Ms. He Chen back then, but she also forced you to breakup with her. Is this what you would do to me as well one day? Then... aren"t you just a puppet of hers?! "
Mo Zixuan glanced at He Chen and lifted up his head akin to a demon ," Cheng Tai , did you really confronted her about my past ? And worse , you seem to have trusted her story already. Did you even considered to look at the second face of the coin ? Did you even thought about listening to my side of the things ? After all , you are in a relations.h.i.+p with me. Not her."
Cheng Tai was not in her right state of mind and didn"t sensed the disbelief and disappointment in Mo Zixuan"s voice as she broke the last straw of their relations.h.i.+p ," What is there to talk to you about ? Isn"t what Chen Jie told me the truth ? That Rong Xinghe has tied you around her little finger, Zixuan ! Are you blind ? You know what , He Chen is right. Your sister is a measly person worse than the wolves ! She is quite ungrateful for what you six people have done for her. Thankfully , you all weren"t unlucky enough to be blood-related to her."
"Enough ! ", Mo Zixuan finally exploded. There was no need for him to maintain his calm anymore. Especially , for the people who looked down on his kiddo and questioned the validity of his relations.h.i.+p with her.
