Chapter 69

In the blink of an eye, another month had passed. The sweltering heat of summer had quietly departed, making way for the breath of early autumn. Maple leaves from the trees lining the streets drifted down with the wind, carpeting the ground with a crimson hue.

Su Wanxia set down her coffee and retracted her gaze that had been looking into the distance. Time had flown; it was the end of spring when she arrived, and now it was already the beginning of autumn.

He should be back soon, she thought. However, she would also be leaving soon.

The work here could be finished in at most two months. By then, she would have no reason to stay any longer.

“Summer,” Meng Can’s voice suddenly came from behind her.

Su Wanxia turned around, “Can.”

Meng Can stared at Su Wanxia and said softly, “Why did you say in today’s meeting that everything has to be in place within two months—if all the designs are complete, that is?”

Su Wanxia smiled and tilted her head, feigning deep thought, “Why? Don’t tell me the great designer Meng Can lacks confidence?”

Meng Can crossed his arms and rubbed his chin, “Do I look like someone who lacks confidence?” He just didn’t want her to overwork herself. Two months was possible, but the schedule was still a bit tight. This project was quite large, and it required a lot of mental effort in terms of style, so it needed a lot of time for brainstorming.

“Then that settles it,” Su Wanxia spread her hands.

Meng Can smiled and nodded, “Okay, let’s strive for two months.”

“Struggle together!”

“OK.”

The next day, Su Wanxia overslept and encountered a terrible traffic jam on her way to work, arriving at the company half an hour later than usual.

Fortunately, their work hours weren’t very strict, but she still felt somewhat embarrassed about being late.

As she made her way to her office, she felt that the gazes from those around her were somewhat strange. She couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was—just an uncomfortable feeling, perhaps due to her tardiness. She couldn’t think of any other reason, so she didn’t pay it much mind.

Just as she reached the entrance of her office, she overheard a few girls at the reception area gossiping with shock and speculation.

She became a little curious and wanted to hear what they usually gossiped about.

“Did you know? Mr. Mu is back.”

“Really? How come I didn’t see him?”

“You came late this morning. I saw him getting out of his car when I arrived.”

“Wow, you’re so lucky. Why don’t I ever run into him?”

Hearing this, Su Wanxia felt her heart tighten. He was back? Well, he had been gone for over a month; it was about time for his return.

She was about to step in when the next words from one of the girls nailed her to the spot.

“And he brought back a woman with him,” the voice deliberately dropped lower.

“What? For real?”

“Absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes; she got out of Mr. Mu’s car.”

“Oh my god.”

Thud! Su Wanxia’s handbag slipped from her hand, and the silver tungsten chain clinked loudly as it hit the floor.

The three girls at the reception desk heard the noise and all looked towards the entrance at the same time, and upon seeing Su Wanxia, they immediately shut their mouths.

Swallowing a lump in her throat, Su Wanxia, without a change in expression, bent down to pick up her handbag, and then walked to her office with an air of composure.

Once in her office, she sat on the rotating chair feeling somewhat drained, her slender and fair fingers trembling. Only she knew how much effort it had taken to pick up her handbag from the floor.

She closed her eyes wearily, leaning back in her chair, feeling her heart convulsing incessantly. It hurt so much that she found it hard to breathe.

It turned out that the unusual stares weren’t because she was late, but because their boss, Mu Yingchen, had brought back a woman.

Hah, a woman!

She didn’t know what this woman brought back by him was like; she must be someone he liked, otherwise why would he bring her back from so far away?

Heh, she smirked self-deprecatorily. What was she thinking about all this for? He was bound to get married and have children, bringing a woman back was nothing out of the ordinary, was it? What did it have to do with her?

Yes, indeed. None of this had anything to do with her anymore.

The top floor president’s office—-

Mu Yingchen sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, a cold expression on his face, focusing on the documents in his hands, many important files that needed his personal review and signature had piled up during his month away.

Ji Hua and Mu Feng were sitting on the opposite sofa, their expressions varied.

And on the sofa next to them sat a fragile and charmingly attractive woman.

At that moment, the woman was smiling, her eyes tender as water as she looked at Ji Hua and Mu Feng. Mu Feng returned her smile with gentlemanly charm, while Ji Hua wore a conflicted expression, managing only a stiff smile in her direction.

Meanwhile, he muttered in his heart, what’s going on? How come a visit to old man Mu resulted in bringing this—let’s just call her fragile beauty—back? But what about Wanxia? Had his older brother lost his mind? The way that woman looked at him was clearly filled with infatuation and love as if she saw a lover from her dreams!

Ji Hua didn’t know what was going on, but from the first glance, he really didn’t like her, and actually felt a bit of aversion. She seemed as gentle and kind as his Xiao Ning on the surface, but in his estimation, she was not simple.

Mu Yingchen finally put down the documents in his hand, then lifted his eyes to look at the silent Ji Hua and Mu Feng and spoke indifferently, “Thank you for your hard work during this time!”

“Not a big deal, everything went smoothly over there?” Mu Feng asked with a hint of meaning, his gaze sweeping over the woman sitting beside them.

“Mhm,” Mu Yingchen didn’t say much, just hummed softly, and then said to Mu Feng and Ji Hua, “Bai Yudie, secretary.”

With those concise five words, half of the doubts in the minds of Mu Feng and Ji Hua were cleared. Secretary? But can a secretary sit so boldly with them? Can a secretary look at their leader with such brazen affection? The title of secretary was probably just an excuse, right? What was going on here? Where did this woman come from?

Upon hearing Mu Yingchen’s words, Bai Yudie stood up from the sofa with a smile, her voice as melodious as the song of an oriole, “Hello, I’m Bai Yudie. I often hear Yingchen speak of you both.”

Her words immediately caused a shift in the expressions of the two men. They often heard their boss mention them? And calling him Yingchen brother?

But when had they ever heard their boss mention her to them?

“Hello, Mu Feng,” Mu Feng said with a smile that did not betray his feelings, standing up and offering his hand for a polite shake.

Ji Hua also stood reluctantly, replying with a greeting, “Ji Hua.” He had to stand up to keep up appearances, after all, he couldn’t offend his brother’s face.

“Hehe, so this is where you work, Yingchen brother. This style really suits you,” Bai Yudie said, her eyes like limpid pools, her tone exceedingly gentle.

Mu Yingchen nodded, his face expressionless, and hummed noncommittally.

Ji Hua almost imperceptibly curled his lip, then stood up, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to my office.” With that, he walked toward the door.

Mu Feng stood up as well and as Ji Hua was about to open the door, he suddenly turned around and spoke to Mu Yingchen, “By the way, I looked over the material Wanxia gave you and didn’t find any issues, so I signed it and gave it back to her. We’re now proceeding with that plan. If there are any parts you’re not satisfied with, talk to her about it as soon as possible.”
