As Xi Xiaye walked past the corridor, she looked at her own shadow . Suddenly, she was reminded of something . Halting in her steps, she then turned around and raised her head .
The sun was setting in the west, emitting warm and gentle rays . The faint glow was enchanting, and she stared at it for some time when the man's face suddenly appeared in her mind .
After a silent moment, she took out her phone, looked for that man's number and sent him a text .
Mu Yuchen, I miss you .
She sent it without any hesitation .
The man finally fell asleep after having some difficulty, but the message woke him up . He was wide awake after he saw the message . He stared at it for a long time, a faint gleam appearing in his dark eyes .
With a smile on his face, he replied: Me too .
She smiled when she received his text . Her heart softened, and she could feel sweetness all around her .
She did not reply afterward . Instead, she put her phone away and walked into the Mu Residence .
Naturally, Xi Xiaye went back to Maple Residence at night . It had been quite a few days since she had gone back and she missed their home . She felt more at ease staying at Maple Residence now .
She woke up early morning the second day . Of course, she did not forget about the renovation for Mu Yuchen's office .
It was 8 a . m . when she arrived at Glory World . The workers from the renovation company were already waiting at the entrance, and all of them went up to her the moment Xi Xiaye arrived .
Inside Mu Yuchen's office, Xi Xiaye acted like the lady boss as she discussed with the workers . “We'll put this painting here . Yeap, right there! It feels broader there . That's not bad!”
Xi Xiaye pointed at the wall right opposite the office desk as she instructed them to hang the oil painting there . She had had these in her collection for some time . Instead of leaving them unused in the Shen Residence, she had brought them over .
The curtains were brand new . There was also a hanging orchid on the tall stool beside the window . Its green leaves seemed fresh and made the whole office looked livelier . Overall, it was much more relaxing now .
After finishing the work and cleaning up the office, it was around noon . There was no one around in the company during the weekend, so Xi Xiaye locked the office up before leaving .
She planned to visit Su Nan today . It had been some time since she last saw her, and she just wanted to see how was she doing . As she went toward her car, she heard a honk . When she looked around, she saw Xi Mushan's car .
Startled, she then saw Xi Mushan's secretary waving at her from the driver's seat .
After giving it some thought, Xi Xiaye walked over slowly .
“Why are you here?”
Xi Xiaye entered the car and saw Xi Mushan's serious face .
Xi Mushan looked at her before saying, “You haven't had lunch, have you? Let's eat something . We'll talk while we eat . ”
Xi Xiaye wanted to drive on her own, but the driver had already started the car, so she just stayed quiet .
They went to a restaurant nearby for lunch . Xi Mushan seemed to still remember the dishes Xi Xiaye liked . Everything he ordered was her favorite .
Xi Xiaye just sat there as she watched Xi Mushan pour some wine . After a while, she grabbed the bottle from Xi Mushan and said, “Let me do it . ”
She then poured the wine into Xi Mushan's empty glass before pouring some for herself as well .
“I just passed by University A and saw your mother's car leave . I called you and your phone was switched off, so I just looked around and happened to bump into you,” said Xi Mushan quietly as he looked at Xi Xiaye .
“Didn't Mother refuse to see you? Why do you…?”
She raised her head and looked at Xi Mushan while she was still pouring the wine . Her eyes seemed confused . “Mother said that it's impossible to return to the past with you anymore . Although I admit I wanted that to happen…”
What else could she say?
Xi Mushan had built another family with Yue Lingsi . Shen Wenna and her were just history .
“I'm just here to have a look at you guys . You don't have to be so pressured… Have Mu Yuchen and the others been treating you well?”
Xi Mushan was not really a caring person, so his question surprised Xi Xiaye, but she soon came back to her senses . She shot Xi Mushan a doubtful look before nodding . “They treat me very well . ”
Xi Mushan sipped his wine and replied quietly, “That's great . ”
Xi Mushan seemed quite crestfallen . Xi Xiaye could see the defeated vibe and helplessness of Han Yifeng around Xi Mushan at that moment .
“I believe you're aware of what happened between us Xi family and the Han family . Han Yifeng is married to Xinyi, and due to health reasons, the company is now under Yifeng's care . ”
Xi Xiaye nodded . “Mmm, I'm aware . I met him a few days ago at the Yueying meeting . ”
After giving it some thought, Xi Mushan said quietly, “I'm afraid that Han Yifeng and Xinyi's situation is already set in stone . I know you're handling the South River project for Glory World . There are several leaders from the government evaluating this project . Aside from me, there's Mu Tangchuan and several people from the Yue family . Furthermore, the Qi family have a great relationship with the Hans and the Yues, so you have to be careful . ”
Xi Xiaye took a deep breath and stayed silent . After a while, she replied, “Mmm, will do . ”
Xi Xiaye never expected Xi Mushan to tell her this . She had no idea how to reply, so she just gave a terse one .
“Father, are the Qis and the Yues long-time friends?”
Xi Xiaye suddenly remembered that someone from the Yue family was the Vice President of Qikai . Would she clash with them this time? However, if Qikai were to get things done through the Yue family, Glory World would be in deep trouble .
She had not forgotten that he had put a lot of effort into this project as well .
