Xi Xiaye sensed a peaceful tone in his voice. There was not a bit of dissatisfaction at all.
“I’m glad they did that. That’s what they should’ve done,” Mu Yuchen mumbled quietly as he looked at the rain, “I think Lingtian needed it more than I did. You’ll have a different feeling once you think about it from another perspective. Be it selfless or selfish, the only regret I had was to be in conflict with Lingtian…”
His tone turned sorrowful.
“I know you’ve done your best. You just love taking responsibility, don’t you? You always criticize yourself first before considering anything else. You’re as silly as me. We are always the ones to get hurt first…but I think that helps you to appreciate the little things more. Mr. Mu, we’re both good people. We’ll definitely be happy.”
Her eyes were clear as the sky as she looked at him with a gaze filled with warmth and comfort.
He put on a warm smile as he slung his arm over her shoulder to pull her close. “I’m not that fragile. You don’t have to comfort me.”
“I’m not comforting you. I just feel sorry for you, silly. I’m sure you don’t know it, but you always make the people around you feel warm.”
She turned around and looked outside, her small hand gently brus.h.i.+ng past his arm and reaching for his fingers as she gave him a serious glance. “You’re a person full of positive energy, so I believe you’ll be able to calm this storm, won’t you?”
He raised his eyebrows and squinted at her. “I have such a great image in your eyes, huh? I feel better about myself now.”
Xi Xiaye chuckled as she wrapped her arms around his waist. “Yes! That’s right…Every woman thinks the man they love is the best husband, the hero, and you’re the lucky one in my heart. You’re someone that I look up to!”
“You blind wors.h.i.+pper! You have no idea how much pressure you just gave me, but since you said so, are you willing to spend a beautiful night with your great husband?”
“What?” Xi Xiaye could not react to what he had just said because the man already lifted her up and headed towards the door before she could even reply.
“I’ll take it as a yes if there’s no reply!”
“I didn’t say I’m willing to…”
“But you didn’t say no either!”
“I’m not done with the doc.u.ments for tomorrow’s meeting…”
“You’re not the only one with meetings…”
…
The tension in the air dispersed as their conversation went on although the rain was still pouring outside.
The storm went on for several days and finally conceded towards the end of the month. The sun finally showed up after several days. By then, the wet ground had already dried up.
Inside the Traffic Bureau Deputy Chief’s office, Su Chen was working hard at his table.
Secretary He spoke to him, “Chief Su, Master Mo is here!”
Master Mo?
Zhou Zimo?
He had been missing for several days, so why did he come here now all of a sudden?
Su Chen looked at Secretary He and said, “Let him in. Also, do take out the set of limited edition detective novels Chief w.a.n.g gave me last time and give them to Zhou Zimo later.”
“Yes, Chief Su!” Secretary He left after his reply.
Zhou Zimo soon came in. “You’re going to be a groom soon, but you’re still so dedicated to your work. Your superior ought to give you a bigger bonus!” He glanced at the stack of doc.u.ments in front of him.
Su Chen raised his head and closed one of the folders as he threw it aside. “Do you think I sit here and do nothing all day?”
“You can come to my company. I don’t mind giving you a high position.”
“Do you think I’d be here if I have a talent for business?” Su Chen glared at him.
“You can get by in life with just your face! Why bother working here?”
“I’m not going to argue with you. What’s the matter? Don’t talk to me if it’s nothing good. I don’t need you introducing me to girls anymore!”
“You heartless b.a.s.t.a.r.d, of course, I have something good for you!” Zhou Zimo smiled as he grabbed Su Chen’s tea to finish and returned the cup before whipping out two thick tickets. “A luxurious trip to the Maldives for two! One of my clients tried to get on my good side and gave me two tickets. I asked for four instead. I’m giving you two and the other two to Ah Mo and Lings.h.i.+. Take it! Go for a honeymoon!”
Zhou Zimo handed the tickets to Su Chen who raised his eyebrows and took them. “You’re being oddly nice, huh?”
“What do you mean? As if I’ve never given you anything good before! You’re going to enjoy the view this time. I do suggest you bring a pair of sungla.s.ses when you’re going to the beach. There will be a lot of hot girls in bikinis. Do you remember the scene we saw last time? Hehe…”
Zhou Zimo glanced at Su Chen. Although his smile seemed gentle, Su Chen easily figured out what he was thinking about. His palm swiftly went for his face, but Zhou Zimo reacted quick enough to avoid him.
“Keep your dirty thoughts to yourself. Do I look like a person who’d do that? There are things that should only be enjoyed in the bedroom. You’d never know!”
Su Chen grinned at Zhou Zimo whose expression darkened instantly!
