Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The weather was pretty kind after the New Year; it was sunny for several days in a row.
After Xi Xiaye confirmed the details of the opening ceremony with the PR Department on the third, she had been working tirelessly every day.
The trial business run ended on the fifth. A clean up commenced in Entertainment City and Glory World’s employees soon returned to help out.
Xi Xiaye supervised the whole decoration process as well as the backstage work. She had no breaks at all.
At that moment, Xi Xiaye was standing there at the plaza inside Entertainment City as the workers were changing a new, large advertisement board. Manager Fang from PR Department suddenly asked, “Director Xi, did you mention that Chairman Mu is going to make it back in time tomorrow?”
Xi Xiaye averted her gaze and turned towards Manager Fang, nodding. “That’s what he said. Don’t worry. There are some important guests that we need to call and invite again. I’ll leave this to you.”
Manager Fang assured her, “Don’t worry. It’ll be done.”
“Mmm, things might be a little rough tonight. Let’s set the stage set up first. There’s still a lot to be done tomorrow. We’ll handle the big stuff today and things will get a little easier tomorrow. I’ll help everyone out tonight, and I’ll treat everyone to dinner afterward as well. Hmm, but looking at the time, it might be supper instead.”
Xi Xiaye looked at the sun setting. It was getting pretty late.
Manager Fang and several other employees were thrilled. “Great! Everyone will be pumped up to work hard thanks to Director Xi’s generosity. You guys go and tell everyone about it and get them to work more swiftly. Get the job done earlier and Director Xi will treat us to supper later.”
“Alright, got it!”
They grinned as they went up to the busy bunch.
…
While Xi Xiaye was busy working, Mu Yuchen did not have it any easier as well. He did not stay over after finishing the contract. He went straight to the airport.
In the VIP room of the City B airport.
“Master, there’s about 20 minutes until the flight. Rest here.”
Ah Mo put the heavy briefcase on a sofa before he poured a cup of tea for Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen raised his hand slightly to stop Ah Mo. As he sat down by the window, Ah Mo’s phone rang.
Ah Mo quickly picked up the call, but then he frowned after listening to several words from the person on the phone. He turned towards Mu Yuchen who was resting and said quietly, “Master, it’s for you. It’s Bureau Chief Chen from the Civil Affairs Bureau…”
Mu Yuchen opened his eyes and he took the phone from Ah Mo.
“Yep.” His deep voice went through the phone.
“Hello, Master Mu! I’m Chen Jingzhi. I have something to tell you,” a polite voice replied.
Mu Yuchen held his fuzzy head with an arm. “Speak.”
“Yes, Master Mu! I received a call from my assistant, Xiao Zheng. Someone came to check on the Missus’ marriage records, but Xiao Zheng stopped him and wanted to ask you about it,” Chen Jingzhi reported.
Mu Yuchen frowned slightly as a light appeared in his eyes. “Who’s the one checking?”
“I looked him up and it seems to be CEO Han from the Han Corporation. Han Yifeng…”
Mu Yuchen grinned when he heard the name. “You can tell him truthfully then that Xi Xiaye is married, and I am her husband.”
He then hung up the call and passed the phone back to Ah Mo.
“Master, why would Han Yifeng check on Missus?” Ah Mo asked.
Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened a little, but his expression looked calm as ever. Nevertheless, he did not reply to Ah Mo’s question. Instead, he kept quiet and walked towards the boarding lounge.
Ah Mo did not push further. After a brief hesitation, he glanced at the two bodyguards in black suits as they caught up with him.
As for Bureau Chief Chen, he called Xiao Zheng after receiving permission from Mu Yuchen.
…
It was 9 p.m. at night when Han Yifeng received the news. He was watching TV in his living room when his phone rang.
“CEO Han, the investigation results are out,” Secretary Wang’s voice came through the phone.
“How is it?” Han Yifeng asked quietly.
“It’s confirmed that Ms. Xi Xiaye is already married. She registered last year,” Secretary Wang reported, stunning Han Yifeng. His brain short wired for a moment, but he calmed his emotions down and went silent. He then asked, “Did you find out who she married?”
“I asked as well. It’s Mu Yuchen, the Chairman of Glory World Corporation, Ms. Xi Xiaye’s superior.”
Mu Yuchen…
It really was him!
Han Yifeng’s hand clutching onto the phone lowered down as he was utterly shocked.
Mu Yuchen and Xiaye?
If his memory served him right, Mu Yuchen had just returned to City Z not too long ago, and Xi Xiaye did not really know him well. Although they both worked for Glory World Corporation, the one staying in headquarters was the old Chairman Mu Yinan.
How did that happen?
He could not believe it. He wanted to quickly call Xi Xiaye and ask her about it, but after searching his phone contacts, he realized he had lost her number a long time ago. The number he saved before was not in use anymore…
After a long moment of silence, he stood up and walked towards the study room. He quickly turned the computer on and logged into his account.
After working on it for some time, he was shocked to discover that they had not been in contact for many years. Whether it was on WeChat, MSN, or QQ, he could not find any of her social media accounts.
His mind was distracted and there was a complicated flow of light brewing in his dark eyes.
Even if he knew it was impossible between him and her, he should at least be concerned about her since they were once…
Back then, when he saw her turn away from him, it felt like he lost a part of him and that thing started to become clear to him. Quickly, he logged into his private email account and searched through his old emails, hoping to find a way to contact her.
However, nothing came up even after looking for a long time. He then remembered that he had never given her his email address even though she had asked for it before. Instead, most of the emails in his inbox were emails filled with warmth and concern from Xi Xinyi…
