“Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it,” Xiaxi shook her head, “How could I disturb your married life? Moreover, the baby is about to be born, you should have your own space.”
“Please, Xiaoxi, you are our family! Why say such polite words, I won’t listen – I won’t listen,” Yuetong covered her ears willfully, “Taien and I have long reached a consensus that you are our family forever, and this is your home.”
Her chest felt warm, emotions about to overflow, Xiaxi took a light breath, her thick eyelashes cleverly hiding her slightly reddened eyes. Actually, heaven had been quite good to her, with Ziyi, with Yuetong…
“Xiaoxi, I want to ask you a question, and you must answer honestly!” Suddenly, Yuetong leaned in with a suggestive look.
“Go ahead,” she said.
“Do you have a boyfriend?” She winked at Xiaxi.
“Why are you suddenly asking this?” Remembering last night’s passionate entanglement, Xiaxi blushed involuntarily.
Just thinking about that heated moment made her blush and her heart race, so she had escaped early in the morning because she didn’t know how to face Lu Ziyi.
“Because you have a kiss mark on your neck!”
」Yue Tong looked envious, “He seems very passionate!” Alas~~ She hadn’t been intimate with Taine for so long! Instinctively covering her exposed neck, Xia Xi’s cheeks turned red to the point of no return. When did Lu Ziyi leave such an embarrassing mark on her body? She had no idea. Now, how could she go out and face people? “If you have a partner, it’s a good thing, someone will take care of you!” Yue Tong was still smiling, “Tell me, what kind of person is he?” “He’s just a person! Two eyes, one nose, one mouth…” Xia Xi spoke softer and softer because she had already received Yue Tong’s sharp glance. “Speak up! Pregnant women have bad tempers and no patience!” Yue Tong narrowed her eyes and threatened. Seeing her friend’s round face almost turning into a she-devil, Xia Xi had no choice but to speak. “He… he’s domineering, proud, and self-important, thinking the world revolves around him.” “And?” This dishonest guy, only wanting to talk about his flaws, she didn’t believe that just the words “proud and self-important” could make Xia Xi fall for him. Looking at her friend’s attentive expression, Xia Xi’s expression finally softened, “But he’s surprisingly gentle with me. The care and meticulousness he gives me are things I’ve never experienced before. In front of him, I don’t need to wear any armor.” “That’s great! What else are you hesitating about? Congratulations on finding a good man.” Yue Tong happily held her hand. Being able to make Xia Xi let down her guard, one can tell he must have put in great effort. “Is that so?
“Is it really good?” Xia Xi slowly revealed a smile, her voice lowered to the point of being almost inaudible, “But for some reason… I’m a bit uncertain in my heart.” When their relationship was about to get closer, she couldn’t help but want to retreat. “Xiao Xi, in the world of emotions, you protect yourself too much. Love itself is both bitter and sweet,” Yue Tong said sincerely, “Didn’t Tai’en and I also go through wind and rain together? If you never take the first step, you’ll never know what’s waiting for you.”
“Yue Tong…”
“Maybe, he is the Mr. Right in your life!”
Murmuring from “Challenging the CEO” Chapter Eight
Three-inch high heels stepped on the smooth floor with a crisp sound, and a rich fragrance permeated the CEO’s office with the arrival of a beautiful woman. She pushed open the tightly closed door, her carefully drawn eyebrows raised, her sharp gaze sweeping across the people in the meeting, finally landing on a face full of displeasure.
“Lu Ziyi, are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?” Xiao Meishan asked coldly.
Leaning back in his chair, Lu Ziyi’s expression was not much better. He spoke in a cold tone, “I’ve already sent someone to pick you up.”
“I hope you come to pick me up personally,” Xiao Meishan took a light breath, her beautiful eyes sweeping sharply over Duan Yexun, who was standing quietly to the side. “Duan Ye, didn’t you relay the words I told you to?”
“I have faithfully relayed Miss Xiao’s words.”
Facing an unexpected disaster, Duan Ye Xun still maintained a blank expression. “Since you’ve reported truthfully, why didn’t Zi Ye come to pick me up?” Xiao Mei Shan asked aggressively. “I’m not someone you can summon at will,” Lu Zi Ye’s calm and cold voice interjected. “I also have my own things to do.” “I’m busy too! For you, I’ve put everything aside and came to find you first.” Biting her lip, Xiao Mei Shan’s voice carried a hint of grievance. “Since Miss Xiao is also busy, there’s indeed no need to rush over. It’s not too late to come after finishing your current tasks,” Lu Zi Ye lowered his eyes, not sparing her another glance, “Aren’t the other personnel arriving next week?” “Lu Zi Ye, what do you mean? Are you not happy to see me?” Xiao Mei Shan’s sharp voice involuntarily rose. “I just think it’s unnecessary.” “Do you have another woman? Is that why you’re being especially cold to me?” Xiao Mei Shan walked reluctantly to the large table, narrowing her eyes. “Tell me, which woman is bewitching you this time?” With a handsome face showing no expression, Lu Zi Ye’s long fingers tapped lightly on the table surface. “Miss Xiao, I don’t need to report my private affairs to you.” “Lu Zi Ye, you──” “Miss Xiao, we are in a meeting. I believe Qian Qiu has many things to report to me, so please excuse yourself.” He cut her off indifferently.
Gritting her teeth, Xiao Mei Shan glared angrily at Zhao Qian Qiu and Duan Ye Xun, reluctantly taking two ste
“Phew!” Zhao Qian Qiu, who had been silent all along, let out a long breath, feeling the urge to wipe away sweat. He had always been wary of Miss Xiao’s proud demeanor.
Lu Zi Ye’s handsome eyes looked out the window, his face cold and expressionless, not understanding why Xiao Mei Shan would choose such a moment to cause a scene! More than three years had passed between them. Initially, he couldn’t stand her spoiled temperament and had cleanly ended things, but he’d since felt oddly pursued. He couldn’t understand why she didn’t comprehend the meaning of breaking up, or where she got the confidence to believe he would change his mind.
However, out of respect for Director Xiao, who had always been an elder he admired, and because their Japanese business dealings depended on him, he restrained himself. Otherwise, he would never tolerate Mei Shan’s willful behavior. He was truly being patient.
“President?” Duan Ye Xun’s voice brought him back from his wandering thoughts, “The meeting──”
“Xun, please call Xia Xi for me,” Lu Zi Ye said with a slight headache, pressing his temple, “I want to know where she is.”
“Yes.”
“Wah wah~~ My doll has been snatched away!” A cute little girl around three or four years old sat on the floor, wailing loudly, with snot and tears streaming uncontrollably, completely disregarding her image. “I want my doll!” “Come and get it… Come and get it! As long as you can take it, it’s yours!” Holding the Barbie doll high up, the mischievous little boy made faces repeatedly. “Crybaby, come and get it!” “Woo~~ Give it back to me!” The little girl whose Barbie was stolen cried her heart out.
Summer Xi stood blankly, watching the children running wildly around the yard, her ears filled with high-pitched sharp sounds. She was frozen on the spot, completely unsure how to handle the situation. This place… is so terrifying! Perha
“Hey! Beautiful Summer, are you spacing out?” Moon Tong walked over slowly, hand on her waist, “The little girl is crying. Won’t you go and comfort her?”
“I… I can’t,” Summer Xi unconsciously took two steps back, shaking her head.
“Go and comfort her,” Moon Tong smiled, “Children are easy to console. Just hold her.”
