Xi Xiaye pushed him back, but he grabbed her even tighter and looked at her with a sharp glance.
“Glory World’s beauty, huh? You’re already a mother to two sons now. That shouldn’t be what you’re thinking about. I doubt there’d be any fool who’d try to steal you away from me. I suppose they wouldn’t dare to even if they wanted to, or else, I’ll make sure they suffer…”
He tightened his grip on her waist.
“You…How can you be like this?”
“Why not? I’m not a good person anyway.”
He lowered his head and caught another taste of her lips again. Moments later, he returned to his usual self and walked towards her work desk. Then, he sat down on the chair and flipped through some doc.u.ments. “Where’s our son?”
Xi Xiaye straightened her outfit and pursed her lips before walking over. “I got Aunt Fang to get him something to eat. Why did you come here anyway?”
Mu Yuchen grabbed her hand and she sat down on his lap as she gave him a confused look. “I came to take a look.”
Mu Yuchen took a deep breath, still feeling pretty gloomy over what happened with Gu Qiwu that morning. “Have you seen the doc.u.ment from Vice President Zhang Lan?”
“I’m almost done with it. I don’t really have any problems…”
Xi Xiaye noticed Mu Yuchen’s phone on the table ringing. She took a glance and saw that it was Li Si calling.
“It’s me.” Mu Yuchen picked up the call.
“Master, I just got a call from the hospital saying that Doris forced them to discharge her, and her lawyer has already lodged a divorce case with the court.” Li Si’s voice came through.
Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened. “Just keep an eye on her.”
He hung up on the call as he had a cold grin. “It seems like there’s no way for Doris and Gu Qiwu to resolve this. By the way, I suppose you heard what Qi Lei said just now. Qi Qiming is probably letting Qi Feng take over Qi Kai soon. As for Qi Lei…”
“Qi Qiming hasn’t been doing well ever since w.a.n.g Qin left. He’s invested a lot of resources into Qi Feng. Even if he’s treating Qi Lei slightly more decently now, I doubt he’ll change his initial decision. Sometimes, I find that Qi Lei really had it tough. For Qi Feng…I just hope…” Xi Xiaye still had no idea what was on Qi Feng’s mind.
Knock!
Before Xi Xiaye completed her train of thought, there was a knock on the door, and it opened from the outside before Xi Xiaye could go and answer it.
“CEO Xi, there are some flowers for you, and this—Chairman Mu!”
Xiao Mei came in with a big bouquet of flowers.
Xi Xiaye got down from Mu Yuchen’s lap, her face slightly pink.
Xiao Mei lowered her head out of awkwardness and started to regret her tactless behavior.
“Be careful!” Mu Yuchen quickly held her hand, worried that she might trip.
Xi Xiaye took a deep breath before looking at Xiao Mei who was holding a big bouquet of lilies, as well as a large, black umbrella. She thought the umbrella was familiar, but she was not sure where she had seen it before.
“Who sent this?” Xi Xiaye asked.
Xiao Mei came over with the bouquet of flowers. “I have no idea. Someone from the florist delivered it. There was a message for you too, saying that Mr. Qi thanks you for the umbrella!”
Umbrella?
Xi Xiaye frowned as she took the flowers from Xiao Mei. She soon found a small card inside the bouquet with just a single line of message on it: Thank you for your umbrella. Weiwei really liked it and didn’t want to return it, so I got you a new one.
Qi Feng’s signature was at the bottom.
Xi Xiaye then remembered b.u.mping into the two of them on a rainy day, and she handed her umbrella to Qi Weier.
However, what was Qi Feng’s intentions of doing this?
“How thoughtful of him.” Mu Yuchen s.n.a.t.c.hed the bouquet away from Xi Xiaye and threw it forward, so Xiao Mei quickly grabbed it. “It’s yours now. You can keep the umbrella too. Leave us alone for now.”
Xiao Mei was a little startled and she quickly turned towards Xi Xiaye.
“Besides, reject any flowers in the future as long as it’s not from me. It’s up to you how you want to deal with them.” His tone was dominating, and Xiao Mei felt pressured just being there at that moment.
Xi Xiaye pursed her lips before nodding lightly at Xiao Mei.
“Yes, Chairman Mu!”
She then quickly left the room!
He took the card away from Xi Xiaye and squinted at it. In the next moment, it got dumped into the bin.
“Mr. Mu…”
Xi Xiaye gave him an uneasy look. While he did not seem angry about what happened with Qi Lei just now, Qi Feng’s act really riled him up.
“Does he frequently give you flowers?” Mu Yuchen asked quietly.
Xi Xiaye shook her head. “Not at all. Just that time I told you about last time, and this time. I wonder what he’s up to.”
“Is he picking a fight with me?”
Before Xi Xiaye could say anything, he pressed the intercom b.u.t.ton on the table. “Come in.”
Xiao Mei came inside the room moments later.
“Chairman Mu, CEO Xi…” Xiao Mei could still feel the pressure in the room.
“Go and prepare a white chrysanthemum or gladioli and send them to First Master Qi. Tell him it’s a token of grat.i.tude from CEO Xi and wish him a speedy recovery.”
“Yes, Chairman Mu!”
Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment, but she came back to her senses moments later. “Just what is Qi Feng thinking? Trying to mess with our life?”
“He’s playing Taichi with me right now, trying to gauge my bottom line. Just ignore this. Does he really think everyone is like Gu Lingsha?” Mu Yuchen seemed disgusted.
“Is he trying to find a chance with me?” Xi Xiaye somehow caught onto what Mu Yuchen meant.
