Chapter 382 But I Just Like Meddling in Your Business

After a long time, the two went their separate ways.

Cui Xiao didn't turn around, but paused for a moment before disappearing into the evening breeze without looking back.

Mo Ziqian stood there, watching her figure gradually disappear into the distance, feeling empty inside.

He wanted to say that he was actually starting to like her, but there was no need to say it out loud.

A cool evening breeze blew by, and Mo Ziqian smiled and got into the car.

Cui Xiao didn't go home; that place was smoky and unpleasant, and she was afraid she would suffocate if she went back. So she found a hotel to stay in instead.

She handed her ID to the front desk and said, "Hello, please book me a room. I'll stay for half a month."

The receptionist quickly processed her check-in and returned her documents, saying, "Ma'am, please keep your documents safe. Have a pleasant stay."

Cui Xiao took the room key and went upstairs. She casually tossed her bag aside and lazily nestled on the sofa.

I'm so tired. I've been entertaining clients for a month straight, and I'm still more exhausted than I was today by this mother and daughter.

As night fell and the moon rose, she subconsciously looked out the window, lost in thought. Suddenly, a face seemed to appear in her mind, startling her and causing her to quickly regain her composure.

Why would she think of Zhou Mubin?

After calming down for a while, Cui Xiao thought that perhaps she was thinking about the past, those unbearable memories, and those shocking recollections.

Jin Ping didn't love her. It could be said that Cui Xiao's childhood was dark after her grandmother's death, until she met Zhou Mubin, and her world finally welcomed a ray of light.

A beam of light illuminated her.

She didn't graduate from a top-tier university, and it's actually very difficult for a recent graduate to establish themselves in this big city. These days, even top students graduating from Peking University might not get a great opportunity. But Zhou Mubin gave her such an opportunity.

Cui Xiao still remembers Zhou Mubin asking, "Do you know how outstanding their resumes are? Among them, you are the worst. Give me a reason to hire you. If you can convince me, I will hire you."

Cui Xiao's reply at the time was, "Right now, I have no bargaining power, but five years from now, you will absolutely need me."

Zhou Mubin smiled. Cui Xiao didn't know what he was thinking at the time, but in the end, he actually hired her.

Later, Cui Xiao did ask him this question, but Zhou Mubin said he had forgotten about it.

Cui Xiao had thought about it more than once. It was only natural that she would like Zhou Mubin. He lived in the sunshine, which illuminated everything about her. People are born towards the sun, and Cui Xiao was no exception.

Having secretly loved him for eleven years, Cui Xiao has never regretted it. For her, liking him has always been a matter only for her, and whether or not there is a response is not important at all.

Just like when she left, it was simply because she felt tired and wanted to change her life.

She knows exactly what she wants and what she should do at each stage.

The cost of her trial and error was too high, and she could not afford to fail in her life.

The next day, Cui Xiao went to work as usual. She hadn't slept well the night before and had dark circles under her eyes, but with so much work piling up, she had to persevere no matter how tired she was.

I felt groggy and dizzy all morning. My colleague kindly said, "Sister Cui, you don't look well. Why don't you go home and rest?"

Cui Xiao rested her temple on one hand and shook her head. "It's okay. I'll send it to President Hou after I finish reading this contract. I'll just lie down and rest for a bit."

Her colleagues felt sorry for her, saying, "Sister Cui, you're working too hard. No wonder President Hou values ​​you so much. Among all the people I know, no one works harder than you."

Cui Xiao smiled.

At this moment, a colleague cautiously asked, "Sister Cui, was that woman who came to see you yesterday really your mother?"

Cui Xiao's smile froze, and she looked up to ask, "What's going on in the company?"

My colleague said, "No one said anything. After all, we all know your character. Besides, your mother's acting was so clumsy that anyone with eyes could see it. She was just deliberately trying to cause you trouble."

Everyone in the company recognized her abilities, which made everyone admire her and no one would dare to do anything underhanded behind her back.

Cui Xiao didn't offer much explanation, simply saying, "Please thank everyone for me."

My colleague said, "Sister Cui, you go ahead with your work, I won't bother you any longer."

Cui Xiao: "Okay."

Before noon, Cui Xiao received another call from Jin Ping, which she hung up without even looking at it.

Jin Ping, having failed to achieve her goal, sent another message: "Cui Xiao, it's noon. Fine, you're not going to cook for me, but at least order some takeout."

Cui Xiao saw it, sneered, and pretended not to see it.

Then, Jin Ping sent another message: ["Cui Xiao, I'm your own mother, how dare you treat me like this? Believe me or not, I'll go to your company and cause a scene!"]

【Still not replying? How could I have given birth to such an unfilial daughter?】

Cui Xiao chose to ignore it, and in the end Jin Ping felt it was pointless and stopped sending it.

She chaired a department meeting and met with a materials supplier all day. After a hectic day, she felt like her legs were about to give way when she got off work.

After packing her things, Cui Xiao dragged her tired body out of the building. She swayed and lost her balance, but luckily a pair of hands caught her.

Cui Xiao subconsciously said, "Thank you."

The other party responded politely, "You're welcome."

That sound?

Cui Xiao suddenly looked at him, like a frightened bird, and immediately tried to break free, but she was in too much pain and even walking was difficult.

"Let me go."

Zhou Mubin not only didn't let go, but instead picked her up horizontally. "Still so stubborn, you don't even know you have a fever?"

Her face was an unhealthy red, and her body temperature was scorching even through her clothes.

Do you have a fever?

Cui Xiao herself was unaware of it.

She frowned. "It's none of your business. Put me down."

Zhou Mubin ignored her and strode quickly into his car.

After getting into the car, Cui Xiao went straight to push the door open, but Zhou Mubin grabbed her hand and warned, "If you dare to run away, I'll force a kiss on you as soon as I catch you. You can try me if you don't believe me."

Cui Xiaohong stared at him, her eyes filled with anger. "I think you're really quite ill. Could it be that Miss Liu didn't satisfy you last night, so you've come here to throw a tantrum?"

Zhou Mubin raised an eyebrow and sneered, "You still have the energy to mock me, so it seems it's not too serious yet."

Cui Xiao: "So, you don't need to meddle in other people's business."

Zhou Mubin was equally stubborn, "But I just like to meddle in your business, what can I do?"

His burning gaze was fixed on her, as if he could melt her. Suddenly, Zhou Mubin leaned down and moved his whole body close to hers.

Cui Xiao froze, instantly holding her breath.

Zhou Mubin gave a wicked smile. "I'm giving you a seatbelt. What do you think I'm going to do?"

Sure enough, Zhou Mubin pulled out the seatbelt, put his arm around her, and helped her fasten it. "Go to the hospital, or go to my house, whichever you choose?"
