Su’s father paused with his chopsticks mid-air, then resumed naturally, placing the food onto the plate, and said with a smile, “Xiaxia, that matter happened so long ago, why bring it up now?”
“Dad, I just wanted to know the reason.”
After a long silence, Su’s father sighed and said, “Because we couldn’t get our funds to turn over, and the bank wouldn’t give us a loan, so we faced a crisis of bankruptcy. Xiaxia, do you still blame dad?”
“No, Dad, I just brought it up on impulse. I’ve never blamed you,” Su Wanxia hurriedly explained when her father said this.
“That’s good, Dad has always felt like he failed your happiness,” Su’s father said with a bit of aging in his voice.
“It’s okay, Dad, I just won’t ask anymore,” Su Wanxia didn’t expect her question to make her dad think like that.
“Let’s leave it at that, the past is past,” Su’s mother also spoke up.
“Right, let’s not talk about it. Let’s eat” Su Wanxia said something lighthearted, but her heart grew more doubtful. She even began to doubt whether her father’s words of comfort were true or false. Could it really be just because the funds were tight and the bank wouldn’t lend them money?
But she was afraid to speak up, lest her father say more self-deprecating words, so she pressed down all the doubts in her heart and quietly ate her meal.
That night, as she lay in bed, Jian Manhui called again, asking if she had found out anything. She could only tell the truth, that this matter had come to a close.
The next day, Mu Yingchen was waiting in front of her house as usual. She stood on the steps at the door, looking at that familiar car parked quietly at the curb, and felt a surge of indescribable complexity.
If only she could go to and from work with him every single day from now on.
After thinking it, she scoffed at herself in her heart. She really was greedy, always wanting more.
Mu Yingchen also saw her and rolled down the window, his extremely beautiful lips curling into a smile.
Su Wanxia put away the hesitation in her heart and walked toward him with a smile.
“Aren’t you annoyed with picking me up and dropping me off every day?” she asked tentatively.
Mu Yingchen raised an eyebrow, “What do you think?”
Su Wanxia stomped her foot: “Are you saying you are?”
The smile in Mu Yingchen’s eyes deepened, “I’ll never be annoyed. Come on, get in the car.”
Only then did Su Wanxia straighten her neck contentedly and walk to the other side. She opened the door and sat down.
“Don’t make me make your coffee today. I need to finish a drawing,” Su Wanxia said, looking at Mu Yingchen’s profile.
Mu Yingchen laughed softly and said, “Okay.”
“Huh?” Su Wanxia looked at him in surprise. He was so agreeable today, consenting at once.
“What, you wanted to?” Mu Yingchen teased.
“Of course not. The drawing I’m rushing is quite important; I’ll show it to you once it’s done.”
“Okay,” Mu Yingchen nodded.
When they arrived at the company, they both headed to their respective offices and started a busy day’s work.
The CEO’s secretary office: Bai Yudie sat in front of the computer, daydreaming. Today, she had seen them come to the company together again.
She was about to go crazy, she was here to cultivate a relationship with Brother Chen, not to watch him show affection with another woman, always together.
She couldn’t just sit by and do nothing, she had to fight for her own chance.
Thinking this, she took a document and headed for the CEO’s office, even though the information didn’t really require Mu Yingchen’s personal signature.
When she pushed the door open and saw the person focused on work in front of the computer, her heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
“Brother Chen,” she said softly.
Mu Yingchen looked up, saw the document in her hand, and said indifferently, “Put it here.”
Bai Yudie’s big eyes flashed a hurt expression. He was always like this, unwilling to truly look at her. What was so good about the mediocre Su Wanxia? In what way was she not as good as her?
“Brother Chen, you haven’t been home for many days,” she said with a hint of grief in her tone.
“I’ve been busy, I’ll come back when I have time,” Mu Yingchen said without even lifting his head.
Bai Yudie clenched her fists the moment she heard Mu Yingchen’s answer. Busy? He was clearly spending time with that Su Wanxia, allowing her to stay in his office during work, and still being with her after work.

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and the more she began to hate Su Wanxia. She had gotten everything she wanted since she was a child. When had she ever been treated with such grievance? Plus, she was all alone here, without a single family member, and all she wanted was to be with him.
“Brother Chen, I like you.” Bai Yudie, with tears clouding her eyes, finally spoke the words that had been weighing on her heart to the man she had longed for.
Mu Yingchen, who had been flipping through the documents, paused, then looked indifferently at the tearful, pitiable beauty before him.
“I’ve always seen you as a sister, please don’t think too much of it,” Mu Yingchen said mercilessly.
Bai Yudie’s world seemed to crumble at those words. She hurried to Mu Yingchen’s side, clutched at his sleeve, and sobbed pitifully, “No, I don’t want to be your sister, Brother Chen, I want to marry you.”
At the sound of her words, Mu Yingchen’s expression instantly turned cold. He pulled his sleeve out of her tight grip and said coldly, “You’d better get rid of that idea soon. I will not marry you.”
Bai Yudie couldn’t pretend to be weak anymore upon hearing this. She broke down crying, “Why? Grandfather Mu promised, you can’t marry someone else!”
Mu Yingchen narrowed his eyes, “Whom I marry is my decision to make, not something anyone else can decide.”
“Brother Chen, you can’t marry that Su Wanxia, she’s nothing but a vixen, always seducing men. What’s so good about her?” Bai Yudie lost her rationality, her temper as a spoiled young lady getting the better of her as she blurted out all the resentment she had in her heart against Su Wanxia.
“She’s just a bit prettier, so she seduces you all the time—”
“Slap!” A cold light flashed in Mu Yingchen’s eyes, and Bai Yudie’s words drove him to slap a woman for the first time in his life.
Bai Yudie was stunned, then looked at Mu Yingchen in disbelief. He had hit her, he actually hit her.
“Grandfather Mu promised five years ago to let me marry you, why are you breaking your promise, how can you treat the Bai Family like this, how can you let down my deceased grandfather!” She cried out loudly to Mu Yingchen, her heart filled with sorrow and even more hatred toward Su Wanxia.
“I will compensate your family, but that doesn’t include my marriage. You shouldn’t be greedy and use my marriage as a condition,” Mu Yingchen spoke coldly, with a heartless expression.
As far as he knew, the Mu Family had never mistreated the Bai Family in the past ten years. To put it exaggeratedly, without the help of the Mu Family, there wouldn’t be the glorious Bai Family of today. Yet, they were still not satisfied, delusively wishing to marry their daughter into the Mu Family to become the lady of the house. Wasn’t that just wishful thinking?
