After serving time in prison for her sister, she was forced to marry a man destined to die young, living a meager life. Little did she know, this dying man would transform into the supremely powerf...
After get off work.
Xiang Jin returned to the Lakeside Villa.
“Madam, the young master called several times today, saying he wants you to call him back when you get home.” Zhou Zhou walked towards her.
Xiang Jin: "..."
Oh no, I got so busy this afternoon that I forgot about it. I wonder if Murong Xiao is furious.
Her legs felt weak, and she slowly moved to the living room, where she dialed Murong Xiao's number with trembling fingers.
It rang once, and the call was answered immediately.
"Mrs. Murong, you're getting bolder and bolder..." The tone on the other end was sinister, and the chilling aura made her flinch.
It hasn't been that long, and not only did they hang up on him, they even dared to turn off their phones.
This is truly unexpected.
"Mr. Xu and I are nothing, we were just discussing a project. Please don't make me resign..." Xiang Jin's voice trailed off.
"Is that why you turned off your phone?"
"……Um."
Otherwise, what else could it be? He wouldn't be jealous of her; she had that much self-awareness.
Murong Xiao rubbed his temples, which were throbbing with anger.
"He personally mentored you on the project?"
"……Um."
Murong Xiao's temples throbbed even more violently.
He could tell what tricks that old fox Xu Jianshen was up to, but this girl might not be able to see them. He should have been more decisive back then and let her resign. It would have been better if she stayed at home and didn't go anywhere, so that people wouldn't worry about her.
"While I'm not home, you better watch yourself and stay away from that Xu guy, you hear me?" Murong Xiao's voice was authoritative, but still relatively gentle.
Xiang Jin breathed a huge sigh of relief, realizing that the man was not angry.
"knew……"
With things escalating like this, the Wen family probably won't take on any more projects. I'm just a low-level employee; I probably won't have much interaction with Actor Xu anymore.
but--
“You too,” Xiang Jin said.
"What?" Murong Xiao didn't understand the sudden question.
"I'm telling you, you are too!"
Stay away from those beautiful women...
Before Murong Xiao could react, Xiang Jin hung up the phone.
Looking at his busy phone, Murong Xiao's heart skipped a beat...
"The same to you……"
These few simple words actually made him feel happy... Murong Xiao, it seems you are really quite ill.
…………
Before Xiang Jin went to sleep, Murong Xiao suddenly sent her a photo.
The photo shows nothing but a newly risen sun, with layers of golden light shining through the clouds, making it exceptionally beautiful and breathtaking.
Xiang Jin didn't understand what he meant, and replied very perfunctorily, "Ah...so beautiful!"
Then I ended the conversation, turned off my phone, and went to sleep.
Murong Xiao: "..."
Fool.
What an idiot.
Standing in a towering office building, watching the sun gradually rise, all he wanted to do at that moment was embrace his own light.
Unfortunately, that beam of light was fast asleep.
A group of men in suits stood behind Murong Xiao.
They were waiting for their boss to enter the closed conference room.
But he didn't move, just staring blankly at the sun on the horizon, his expression even a little lonely.
"What's wrong with Mr. Murong..." asked a middle-aged foreigner with gray hair in the crowd.
“Perhaps he misses his wife,” Su Ming replied.

In the morning, Xiang Jin was eating breakfast.
The onset of morning sickness suddenly struck, and she covered her mouth and nose as she rushed to the bathroom.
When she came out, the canna lily was sitting at the door, staring straight at her.
"Madam, what should we do? You left yesterday without telling it, and it caused a ruckus all day, almost tearing the room apart. It wouldn't eat or drink, and only stopped when it saw you last night. If we leave it at home again today..."
The dog might starve to death.
Xiang Jin squatted down and rubbed the dog's head.
"Mom has to go to work. Canna stay home and watch the house for Mom, okay?"
The dog whimpered like a little child, trying desperately to burrow into her arms, refusing to agree to anything she said.
Xiang Jin sighed, "Never mind, I'll take it to the company and tidy up the canna's things."
"OK."
After finishing his meal, Xiang Jin went to the company.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a lot of noise coming from inside, and screams could be heard from time to time.
"Wow, Sister Xiangjin, come quick! Someone sent you flowers, supposedly flown in from the Netherlands!"
Ran Fangya was overjoyed and pulled Xiang Jin to her workstation.
There was indeed a bouquet of flowers on the workstation.
The colors were pink, white, and a little purple, a variety that Xiang Jin had never seen before. She turned to look at it and found a card inside, which she picked up.
"Friendly reminder: This woman is already taken, so please stay away from those with the surname Xu."
Signed: Xiao.
Xiang Jin: "..."
So, he sent her a bouquet of flowers just to remind her to stay away from Xu Jianshen?
When others send flowers, it's either to express love or to thank someone, but he used them in this way—it's amazing!
"Sister Xiangjin, did your suitor send these flowers? Someone said you went out to dinner with President Xu yesterday, could it be that President Xu—"
Xiang Jin quickly covered her mouth and made a "shh" gesture.
You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.
Ran Fangya immediately understood and dared not say anything more.
"These flowers weren't a gift from anyone else, they were from my husband." Xiang Jin smiled as she carefully placed the card inside the drawing.
"Husband? Xiang Jin, you're married?" Pei Ji asked.
"Yeah, it's been almost a year."
Wow, I didn't realize... I thought you were single!
