When she felt the warmth on her shoulders, she turned and looked to him and said in a light tone that contained a hint of tenderness, “Happy Wedding Anniversary, Mr. Mu.”
“Wedding anniversary?”
He was stunned. In a daze, he recalled that this time last year, they did have a wedding abroad. He immediately chuckled to say, “Aren’t we supposed to count our anniversary from the day we registered our marriage?”
“But to me, this is the one that counts.”
She smiled at him, then turned to look at the night sky and asked calmly, “Do you like it? This is my present to you. I didn’t know what to give you or what you’d cherish.”
“Do you think I’m a pretty woman like you? But since it’s a present from you, Missus, I’d like them all.” His soft and gentle voice gently brushed past her ear, sounding delightful to her. She could not help but reach out to pull at the hem of his s.h.i.+rt.
Then, he heard her say, “For a very long time now, I’ve wanted to be like this and to remember this moment, Mr. Mu.”
“If you like, I’ll give you a show every year.”
“No need. I just have to remember it once just like you right now.” When she said this, she suddenly turned and looked up earnestly at him to say sincerely, “My whole heart is for you, Chen. It’s irreplaceable.”
Her words were like a warmth that flowed into his heart, making his dark eyes flash with faint happiness. He quickly held her in his embrace and said in a deep voice, “I know. Me too. I don’t want anyone else but you.”
When she heard that, her heart felt warmed. She said in a slightly raspy voice, “Do you love me?” She just wanted to hear him say it. Even if she knew the answer, she wanted him to admit it before she felt at ease.
Mu Yuchen was stunned. He met her eyes that were filled with hope before laughing helplessly and planting a kiss on her forehead. With a chuckle, he declared, “I will love you for the rest of my life.”
Who else would he love if not her?
“But I want it to be a little longer. In the next lifetime and the next one after that, I want you to be by my side forever.” Her starry eyes were bright. When she said this, they became misty.
“Then, I’ll be yours, forever yours,” he answered naturally.
Xi Xiaye never knew that the more they went on, the more she would want. Sometimes, she wished she could just hide him in her pocket and not let other women realize how great he was.
…
Midnight came. The wind that drifted through the air became even cooler, and the entire city fell silent, but Imperial Sky Entertainment City remained very lively. People indulging in a life of luxury were feasting and pleasure-seeking. From time to time, luxury sports cars would drive past the entrance of Entertainment City. This place was fated to have yet another sleepless night.
When it was about 1 a.m. in the morning, after Mu Lingsha explained a few things to the other managers, she packed up and planned to leave work. She had just stepped out of the club when the valet had already driven her car over.
“h.e.l.lo, Manager Mu! Here’s your car!” the valet said respectfully when he went up to her.
Mu Lings.h.i.+ nodded. “Alright, thanks! Bye!” Then, she got into her car and drove away.
However, she did not realize that just as she drove out of Imperial Sky Entertainment City, on the road outside the Entertainment City was a black car that had waited for a long time in the dark. They slowly followed after her.
Mu Lings.h.i.+ was also used to drive fast while listening to her CDs, along the way, she blasted her music, and then fixed the sungla.s.ses on her, before speeding up.
It was rather far from Imperial Sky Entertainment City to her and Ah Mo’s place. Even if she drove quickly with no traffic on the road, it would take her close to an hour. Past midnight, the traffic was not that busy, so Mu Lings.h.i.+ liked driving home at such a time after work. With no traffic jam, she could experience another type of extreme enjoyment.
However, when the car drove past two traffic lights, Mu Lings.h.i.+ looked nonchalantly to her side mirror, and unexpectedly noticed the black car behind her. She immediately began to be alert and vaguely remembered that this car seemed to have been following her for quite a distance now.
She pondered for a bit before slowing down and moving to the side at the next traffic light, yet just as she slowed down, the car behind her slowed down too.
Now, Mu Lings.h.i.+ felt that something was not quite right. Squinting her cold eyes, she just stopped her car and saw from her rearview mirror that the other car had slowly come to a stop too. Nevertheless, it still maintained a distance. Her gaze turned cold as she hesitated for a moment before she suddenly turned her steering wheel 360 degrees and quickly turned her car around, moving closer to the car behind her.
She was not the only one who moved fast. Her car had just made a turn when the other car quickly turned around too. With a beautiful drift, it left and did not wait for Mu Lings.h.i.+ to give pursuit.
Mu Lings.h.i.+ tried to take a closer look at the car number plate when she realized that there was nothing on the plate!
She was probably being followed earlier.
Mu Lings.h.i.+’s mind flashed with this knowledge. She subconsciously tensed up as she watched the car that vanished into the distant night. After a while, she turned her car around in confusion. Of course, as expected, what met her was the traffic police on duty…
At this moment, inside the car that had followed Mu Lings.h.i.+ earlier.
“Bro Yong, we were almost caught earlier. That woman’s too good. In such a situation, she actually dared to turn around!”
The man who sat in the driver’s seat wore a cap and turned to look at the man beside him who wore a cap and sungla.s.ses. He said with lingering fear, “Good thing I reacted quick enough!”
That person called Bro Yong scolded him sternly, “I told you to follow her, but I didn’t tell you to be so close, idiot!”
The stern scolding made the man in the driver’s seat shudder involuntarily. He held onto the steering wheel tightly and breathed in before he said softly, “Yes, Bro Yong! I got it!”
“You can’t even handle this little thing. If your ident.i.ty gets exposed, I’ll kill you!” Bro Yong gave that man a cold look as he took out his phone and made a call.
“h.e.l.lo? Boss, sorry, we were noticed…”
“Come back first.” There was an indifferent voice from the other line before the person hung up.
