Chapter 33 -33: The Personal Space is Breached_1
Her lips trembled slightly, and just as she mustered a sliver of courage to speak up, Mu Yingchen cut in ahead of her, “It’s late, you should head back to rest early, I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”
She could only nod in silence, somewhat stiffly getting out of the car and slowly walking towards the entrance.
Mu Yingchen watched her receding figure, his obsidian-like eyes flashing with deep thought. It wasn’t until her slender silhouette had entered the villa without looking back that he started the car and slowly drove off.
The following week, Mu Yingchen took care of her transportation, picking her up and dropping her off so regularly that she seemed to have forgotten about her own car, which she had bought not too long ago.
Sometimes, she would inevitably run into Ji Hua or Mu Feng in the parking lot, after all, their office hours were the same, and they parked in the reserved parking area.
So, these past few days, Ji Hua, that silly guy, had been exaggerating in the group chats. Ever since that night Mu Yingchen made his remark, Su Wanxia would go silent whenever topics about her and him arose in the group chats—not a word from her.
Mu Yingchen started to go online more often too, though he usually remained silent as well.
Even though Mu Chuyang was extremely busy, he would still find time to banter with Ji Hua in the group whenever he got the chance.
As for Kang Xiaolan and Mu Feng, there was even less need to mention them. The moment they finished work in the evening, they would start flaunting their affection in the group chats, naturally with Kang Xiaolan taking the lead.
Every time this happened, Su Wanxia would pop up to tease them a bit. But Kang Xiaolan was shameless now; even if they talked about him and Mu Feng having children, he wouldn’t blush or bat an eyelid, and would be quite self-satisfied.
That afternoon around 3 o’clock, just after Su Wanxia had finished discussing the preliminary design proposal with Meng Can and Wen Lingya, the dedicated phone beside her computer rang.
She thought it was Ji Hua, but unexpectedly—
“Come up,” came Mu Yingchen’s low and magnetic voice.
“Oh,” she wanted to ask what he needed her for but then thought that since it was working hours, it might be work-related.
Then she scurried up to the CEO’s office on the top floor. She thought about it, then went straight in without knocking since he had previously said, “You don’t need to knock when you come in.”
Since he had already said so, why bother doing otherwise?
This time, Mu Yingchen was unusually not sitting at his desk but was leaning back on the sofa with his eyes closed. Hearing her enter, he opened those captivating eyes.
“Did you need something?” she asked, curious.
Mu Yingchen smiled, his sharp and stern features softening a bit.
“I want a coffee,” he said confidently, without a shred of embarrassment for calling her up just for such a trivial matter.
Her expectation was clearly overturned by his request, and the corner of her mouth twitched as she looked at him like he was some kind of oddity.
“You want coffee, ask the secretary to make it.”

“I want the one you make,” the CEO shamelessly declared.
Su Wanxia was at a loss for words. Picking who made his coffee? Talk about high maintenance, but with no choice—after all, he had the clout.
She made a ‘I surrender’ face and then said two words, “Wait here,” before going out to make his coffee.
Mu Yingchen, on the other hand, wore a look of satisfaction. He just felt that her coffee suited his taste better, though he had never found others’ coffee to be particularly unsatisfying before.
As Su Wanxia carried the cup of coffee to the door of the CEO’s office, a few secretaries’ voices of astonishment followed her from behind.
“My God, what exactly is the relationship between our Mr. Mu and Miss Su?”
“Don’t know, but Mr. Mu is especially nice to Miss Su.”
“Yeah, I’ve never seen Mr. Mu let anyone stay in his office all day long.”
“Keep your voices down…”
Su Wanxia shook her head helplessly and closed the door to the president’s office.
“Here’s your coffee!” She placed the coffee in front of him, then said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll head down first.”
No sooner had she spoken than some clamor came from outside the door.
“How dare you stop me? Do you know who I am?” Upon hearing this arrogant voice, Su Wanxia frowned.
“Miss Ding, please wait a moment, let me ask President Mu for permission.”
“Ask for permission? Hmm, I insist on entering now.”
It seemed that the secretary couldn’t stop her; Ding Nianzi snapped the door open and then, dropping her haughty demeanor, entered with a smile on her face and a swaying walk.
“Brother Chen!” The sound made Su Wanxia’s skin crawl.
When Ding Nianzi saw Su Wanxia was also there, the smile on her face froze instantly, and panic involuntarily crept into her heart.
Why is she here? How could Brother Chen allow her to be here? They were actually alone in the office together!
A tremendous wave of jealousy and hatred filled her heart. Brother Chen was clearly beginning to accept her, yet this woman had the audacity to come and ruin the relationship between her and Brother Chen!
In Ding Nianzi’s mind, she still believed that Mu Yingchen’s choice to ignore Su Wanxia and dance with her that night was because he disliked Su Wanxia.
But she didn’t know about the events that unfolded afterwards, nor was she aware that Su Wanxia was now working at Mu Family Corporation.
That was why she dared to barge in so arrogantly just now. If it had been before, she wouldn’t have had the courage, even if she had been given a dose of it.
During this time, she was so elated she was nearly insane, boasting everywhere to those ladies from noble families about her and the president of Mu Family Corp, about this and that. Upon hearing about her close relations with the president of Mu Family Corp, those heiresses were all the more flattering and attentive to her.
But, now, she had seen that woman with her Brother Chen, and what frightened her was the seeming indifference Brother Chen displayed toward Su Wanxia.
“What are you doing here?” Mu Yingchen asked with a stern face, looking at her indifferently.
Ding Nianzi reverted to her gentle and virtuous demeanor, “I came to see you,” she said, and then walked toward Mu Yingchen coquettishly, “Brother Chen, I couldn’t find you when I came a few days ago.”
Su Wanxia really couldn’t stand Ding Nianzi’s pretense. Ignoring the discomfort arising within her, she said to Mu Yingchen with detachment, “I’ll be going now,” and then moved towards the door.
“Wait a second,” Mu Yingchen stood up, wanting to pull her back, but she deftly avoided his hand.
Turning sideways toward him, she said, “I still have a lot of work to do,” and then quickly opened the door and left.
She feared if she stayed any longer, she would lose control and throw out that hypocritical woman, Ding Nianzi.
After Su Wanxia had left, Mu Yingchen’s expression grew even darker, and a flicker of irritation passed through his black eyes.
But Ding Nianzi was exceptionally happy. As she approached Mu Yingchen and tried to entwine her arm with his like she did that night, he coldly dodged her.
“Brother Chen…” she called out, a hint of grievance in her voice.
“If there’s nothing important, you may leave. I’m very busy,” Mu Yingchen said, sitting back at his desk, completely ignoring Ding Nianzi.
Ding Nianzi felt extremely aggrieved, stood silently for a while, and then had no choice but to leave quietly. Why was it that whenever Su Wanxia was around, he wouldn’t even glance at her? She genuinely despised Su Wanxia. Back in school, she competed with her, and even though Su Wanxia had disappeared for six years, on her return, she was still competing with her.
Her eyes, adorned with striking eyeshadow, were now brimming with resentment, and she swore to herself with firm determination, no matter what, Brother Chen could only be hers!
