Chapter 2043: Late Night Wind and Rain (3)
When Xi Xiaye brought a gla.s.s of water and an anti-hangover medicine to the bed, Mu Yuchen was frowning as he fell asleep. It was obvious that he was not sleeping well either.
On the way back, he had already said that he was a little dizzy and did not let Xi Xiaye open the car window to prevent the wind from making him feel even worse.
Xi Xiaye looked at him helplessly for quite a while before she sat down on the bed. She put the gla.s.s of water on the bedside table as she reached out to shake him
“Don’t sleep yet. Get up and take the hangover medicine so that you don’t have a headache tomorrow!”
Mu Yuchen woke up very quickly after being shaken by her.
“Here!”
Xi Xiaye handed the pill to him and held the water.
He ate it very cooperatively. He raised his hand to rub the s.p.a.ce between his brows as his voice was a little hoa.r.s.e. “I drank a bit much with Zimo. Today is his good day. He and Qin Su can be considered to have had a successful conclusion.”
“Mmm, it’s Zimo who’s getting married. I think you’re even happier than when we got married.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? How can Zimo compare to you? I’m someone who prioritizes a woman over a friend.”
Mu Yuchen glanced at her, but his lips curled into a smile. With one hand behind his head, his dark eyes became clearer. He looked at her silently while he held her hand with the other.
“I realized that you’ve really become more and more pleasing to women these past few years. With a little more practice, you’ll become a dangerous object.”
Although Xi Xiaye said this, she was not worried of gains and losses like before because this man gave her a sufficient sense of security. She did not need to worry about things like cheating or mistresses.
“If I don’t please you, I’ll be pushed by the waves of the Yangtze River and die on the beach. Don’t think that I don’t know that Uncle Lan is planning to retire, so he’s been grooming a male a.s.sistant for you. I heard that that person was your former senior?”
When Mu Yuchen asked this, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and stared at her.
When she heard him, Xi Xiaye was a little surprised. She had not decided on this yet. Uncle Lan said that because he admired that senior’s talent and felt that his future was limitless, he wanted to recruit him into Fuhua, unexpectedly, this man was quite well-informed. Could he have planted many spies by her side?
“Uncle Lan only mentioned it briefly. He said that the senior’s talent is limitless and he’s a very nice person. He hopes to keep him in Fuhua. Uncle Lan spent a lot of effort to poach him over. I think what he said makes sense. After all…”
“Don’t even think about it. Fire him tomorrow. I’ll pay the penalty for breaching the contract.”
Mu Yuchen gave her a side glance.
Xi Xiaye frowned. She was a little confused by his request. “He’s…”
“When I went to pick you up the other day, he and Uncle Lan followed behind. He took a few more looks at you. That look was clearly…”
Mu Yuchen did not continue. He did not plan to tell her at first, but he just happened to drink a little tonight, so he was really unhappy. Of course, he could not let such a dangerous person stay by his woman’s side, what if something unexpected happened?
It was not that he did not trust Xi Xiaye, but he was worried that even she would get into trouble.
When she heard this, Xi Xiaye was stunned.
In the past two years, he had used all sorts of excuses to get rid of all the young and handsome male employees around her. In exchange, he had gotten middle-aged men or women who looked ordinary but were capable.
“You can’t be so unreasonable. He doesn’t have that kind of interest in me!”
“Either transfer him out, and I’ll be in charge of this matter. It’s going to be the holidays soon. After the New Year, I’ll go over to attend the Fuhua New Year meeting. When the time comes, I’ll help you advise on the deployment of personnel.”
The man did not pay any attention to her dissatisfied expression as he said it himself.
“How can you do this…”
“What about me?”
Xi Xiaye would not know that as she grew older and her experience settled down, she had gained a mature and elegant charm that made Mu Yuchen unable to stop!
There were many who took the opportunity to get close to her tonight. Did they all think that he, Mu Yuchen, was dead?
Although he knew that his charm was not inferior, Xi Xiaye made him even more worried. Those women who took the opportunity to get close to him were only doing it for money or l.u.s.t?
These two things were within Xi Xiaye’s grasp. She did not have to worry at all. Should he not feel more threatened?
He had to secure her a little tighter.
Xi Xiaye knew what he was thinking. At this moment, he was worried about his own gains and losses. Just as she wanted to explain something, his phone started ringing.
Mu Yuchen quickly picked it up—
It was Ah Quan from Myanmar calling.
“Master, we’ve found out about Master Qi. We just met with President Qi. He said that he’s 90% sure that Master Qi is in the hands of his uncle, w.a.n.g Xun, but w.a.n.g Xun has always been secretive. We don’t know his whereabouts yet. President Qi can only send invitations to his company every day, but w.a.n.g Xun hasn’t seen him once.” Ah Quan briefly explained the situation to Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened. His eyes flickered as he asked, “Does Miss Dongfang know about this news?”
“I don’t think so. President Qi is busy looking for him right now,” Ah Quan replied.
Mu Yuchen fell silent for a moment before replying, “I got it. Do your best to cooperate and get to the bottom of the matter.”
“Understood!”
Mu Yuchen then hung up.
Xi Xiaye was looking at him nervously. Since it was Ah Quan’s call, it must be news from Qi Lei!
“How are things?” Xi Xiaye asked. “Is there news on Qi Lei?”
Mu Yuchen put his phone back and replied, “Mmm, he should still be around. Don’t worry.”
“Then, how is he? Where is he? Does Liuyun not know yet? Give Liuyun a call and tell her the news so that she won’t be so worried…”
“Xiaye!”
Mu Yuchen stopped her. “Don’t be anxious. Let’s wait until we understand the situation and know where he is. That way, she won’t worry.”
When Xi Xiaye heard this, she paused for a moment. She thought about it and felt that it made sense. Now that Dongfang Liuyun was still pregnant, if she knew about Qi Lei’s news, she might run over again. It would be too much on her.
“Sorry I didn’t think this through.”
Xi Xiaye frowned.
“It’s fine. It’s considered good news.” Mu Yuchen consoled her.
Xi Xiaye then nodded.
…
When they returned to the Grand Lake Villa area, it was already past one in the morning. Dongfang Liuyun had just put away the doc.u.ments she had just received, showered, and was about to handle some urgent doc.u.ments from the company when her phone rang. When Dongfang Liuyun saw the caller ID, she immediately picked up the call!
“h.e.l.lo—”
