An unknown number greeted her sight. She was about to ask who it was, but he handed the phone to her and said softly, “It’s for you.”
Xi Xiaye’s brows raised, then she muttered, “You’re acting crazy.”
She reached out to take over the phone and answer, it.”h.e.l.lo?”
When he heard her voice, a m.u.f.fled voice which was affected by gloom mumbled quickly, “Xiaye, it’s me…”
Recognizing his voice, Xi Xiaye frowned. Her body tensed up and a while after, she said, “Why are you calling?”
“The thing that you got someone to bring me… I’ve seen it… I want to talk to you…” Han Yifeng’s low voice came through with a hint of disappointment and frustration.
Xi Xiaye leaned against Mu Yuchen and sat down. “The things I brought you have no other meaning. I just wanted to do it for myself. Besides, however you see them is your problem.”
“Xiaye, I also…”
“Enough, CEO Han. I’m not interested in chatting with you. For now, you should be thinking about how to help your fiancè with those rumors.”
Xi Xiaye indifferently lowered her gaze and then slowly hung up. Just as she was about to continue tidying up, she suddenly felt that the energy from the man beside her was off, so she then turned to look at him. Indeed, he did not look right. His deep eyes flickered with a cold light that she could not fathom as they stared right at her.
Xi Xiaye immediately frowned and looked up at him. “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“You delivered something to him?” He asked in a deep voice, his eyes narrowed.
When she heard him, she vaguely felt that his tone was not right, and from the way he looked, she thought about something. Then, her lips curled up as she pulled at his arm and her body leaned forward. “Why do I smell something sour here? You wouldn’t be jealous, would you?”
His handsome brows furrowed. The light in his eyes was sly and bewitching. Quite a while after that, he said, “What brand is the vinegar? Who would have such power? That person isn’t on the same level as I am. Would I be jealous of him?”
Xi Xiaye immediately giggled gently. She went up to him with her slender body. “You smell sour from head to toe, and you’re still denying it? Quickly come up with a new term called ‘proud and pampered’!”
He reached out to hug her body that had shimmied up to him. When she threw himself onto him, the both of them ended up lying down. “I’m fine. I didn’t…”
“Defending yourself is tantamount to covering up!”
She pinned him down below her, and stared at him like she was discovering him with the curiosity of finding a New World, yet he was frankly lazy to explain and lowered his gaze. He reached up to comb his fingers through her beautiful hair.
When she saw him keeping mum, Xi Xiaye lifted her fair and slightly cold fingers to touch his handsome face. She looked down at him and said softly, “I just got Xiao Mei to send the evidence I collected about Xi Xinyi’s crimes to his office. I wanted to expose Xi Xinyi… Do you think I’m a bad woman?”
His tensed handsome face eased a little while he just let her hold his face. He pondered thoughtfully for a while, then he nodded and said seriously, “You’re pretty wicked… If this were a fairytale, you’d have to play the role of a witch.”
“That’s true. Young witches are usually very beautiful, capable, and can even make you envious…” She merely turned his words into a compliment, a rare joke.
“Missus, actually I think that the prince and the witch are actually the most suitable pair. As long as they have each other in their hearts, they’ll also live a peaceful and happy life. No matter what, they’ll be the most beautiful in each other’s hearts, and that would be enough.”
He chuckled softly and his long arms hugged her tightly.
He and she could actually be very simple.
As long as he thought she was good, and vice versa, that would be enough!
“Why are you the prince and I the witch when you’re actually worse than me and sinister too!?” She complained unhappily.
“I’m not as bad as you say. I’m a good person, that person’s the bad one, don’t be confusing right from wrong now, someone like him could only be fit with a hypocritical princess, they wouldn’t know how good you are, only I have the eye to discern…”
Mr. Mu decided that he must instill a beautiful and glorious image of him in her, making Han Yifeng’s image worse and worse to her.
Xi Xiaye suddenly squinted her starry eyes and watched him speak. A while after that, when he stopped, he looked at her weirdly too. Then, she laughed and the hand that gently held his arm suddenly slid down, pulling his long fingers with some warmth seeping through her palms. Under his puzzled and shocked gaze, she lowered her head and inched nearer to his lips…
The faint fragrance closed in. She could not help but be stunned by his proximity for a moment. He was a little shocked by this little girl’s initiative, but he very quickly responded. Naturally, he would not let go of this, so he very generously let her take the lead, letting her take over him.
“Mu Yuchen, I’ve never told you this before, but I’ve always thought you were a good person. Of all the men I’ve met, you are the most handsome, dashing, and good-tempered man. Many female colleagues at the company like you too. They all say you don’t look like a boss, but even more like a Prince Charming that’s out of this world. Mmm… like that Piano Prince… So unlike us common mortals…” Xi Xiaye suddenly rambled to him, “The people in our department don’t know about us, and even want me to chase after you and tackle you!”
When he heard her revelation, he chuckled and could not help but hold her up by the shoulders. He beamed and said, “Unlike you common mortals? Wouldn’t that make me an immortal then? Prince Charming? But you chasing me, that we can consider!”
“You wish! Why is it not you chasing me? I’m the G.o.ddess among our company’s male colleagues, alright?”
“I never chase after women… but, Missus, you’re definitely an exception. Mmm!”
“If you dare to not make me an exception, I’ll send a slap right across… Mr. Mu, do you think I’ve become thicker?”
“How so? Missus, you’re still very slim!”
“Why do I feel like I’ve become thicker?”
“Let me feel you… It does feel like so… Mmm!”
Before he could finish, a fist of hers fell again. He could not help but feel helpless — it turned out that telling the truth was wrong too!
However, compared to Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye’s happiness on this end of town, Han Yifeng’s side had clouds of worry and a dismal tone.
On the sofa in the living room of the villa, Han Yifeng was looking gloomily at the entertainment news reported on his computer screen. Beside him, Secretary w.a.n.g had delivered a huge pile of newspapers to him. Huge piles of papers messily scattered the table, all reporting the latest update about Xi Xinyi.
Quite a few days had pa.s.sed, yet this incident still had not fizzled out. Instead, it seemed to have become worse. The entire entertainment industry was still abuzz with rumors as all sorts of scandals about Xi Xinyi surfaced.
Naturally, it included many suspicions that people had decided to hit her with while she was down!
