Chapter 59, The 59th Beam of Light: "Can you fall in love even with a life in your hands?"...

Song Xingyun heard the sound of Wen Ying's car window being rolled down behind her. Yu Mushang's hearing was even more acute; she immediately felt his body and hands, which were pressed against her, stiffen. She said somewhat embarrassedly, "Wenwen hasn't left yet...we..."

The two embraced, neither pushing the other away; to anyone who saw them, they looked like they were deeply in love.

Wen Ying strained her eyes to peer through the passenger window from the driver's seat, feigning ignorance as she asked, "What is Boss Yu doing to our Xingxing?"

"I..." Yu Mushang couldn't speak, but his expression clearly said, "That's how it is. What can you do about it?"

Taking advantage of the moment, Song Xingyun finally pushed the man away. "Wenwen, um..."

"Hmm? Little Star, you'd better explain this to me properly." Wen Ying pretended to be angry, after all, the two of them hugged each other so skillfully, it was obviously not the first time.

Song Xingyun never expected to be exposed twice in one day. Indeed, one should not do bad things. If you don't want others to know, then don't do them. The old saying is true.

She clenched her fists and made a pitiful, silent "please, please" gesture, saying, "I'll video call you later to explain."

Wen Ying wasn't really angry, nor did she want to be a "third wheel" here for too long. "Mm."

"However, are you sure you don't want to come with me, since we're alone together?" Wen Ying thought for a moment and then asked her to confirm.

Before, when the two weren't officially together, she thought it was a good idea to take advantage of their proximity. Now that things seem to be going well, she's worried that Song Xingyun might be snatched away by a big bad wolf if they were to share a room together again.

Wen Ying looked at this man and realized he wasn't some innocent little rabbit.

Song Xingyun turned her head and glanced at Yu Mushang, who was standing obediently behind her. Where Wen Ying couldn't see, he was still tugging at the hem of his clothes, looking pitiful.

"Wenwen, I'm worried about him being alone in the villa."

Wen Ying felt no anger at Song Xingyun for hiding something from her; her heart was filled with pure gossip and excitement. She suppressed the urge to smile from hearing the shocking juicy gossip about her sister and said, "Why don't we just call Ying Qi over?"

Today, she really wanted to take a wicked approach and "break up" the couple, just to "punish" Song Xingyun by making her confess everything.

Upon hearing this, Song Xingyun thought it made sense. "Um... Boss, should I call Assistant Ying?" This time, she tugged at his sleeve. "I need to calm Wenwen down first, otherwise I'm afraid she might get excited and put up banners in front of the Yu Group tomorrow..."

She exaggerated the situation.

Yu Mushang: ......

When Song Xingyun dialed the number, Yu Mushang was still praying that Ying Qi was already fast asleep when the call was answered after only one ring. "Assistant Song?"

Song Xingyun is now caught in the middle, having to read both of their moods. She only said that she had something to do tonight and couldn't go back to Villa No. 9 to rest, and asked if he could come and take care of Yu Mushang.

Upon hearing this, Ying Qi immediately lowered her voice, "You and your boss had a fight? You're going to run away from home and not come back all night? Relationships are full of arguments, you two shouldn't..."

Song Xingyun had the phone on speakerphone, so Wen Ying heard Ying Qi's words clearly. Before Song Xingyun could stop him, Wen Ying stared wide-eyed at Ying Qi on Song Xingyun's phone and shouted, "What? You already knew they got together?"

Hearing the loud voice, Ying Qi on the other end of the phone moved the phone away from him, startled. "You're here too? You found out too?"

Song Xingyun: ......

Yu Mushang: ......

Not only were they exposed, but the two people who were kept in the dark also "recognized" each other over the phone. What kind of nonsense is this...?

Wen Ying slammed on the gas pedal, and Song Xingyun, in the passenger seat, gripped her seatbelt tightly and cautiously reminded her, "Um, Wenwen, we're going to be speeding..."

Wen Ying kept her eyes on the road ahead and drove with great focus, making Song Xingyun unable to figure out just how angry she was.

The two returned to the apartment where Song Xingyun hadn't yet vacated the lease. It was spotless, presumably cleaned by a cleaning service hired by Wenwen. "My dear Wenwen, I was wrong."

As soon as Wenwen arrived, she fell face down onto the big bed. Song Xingyun followed suit, lying down and holding her arm, shaking it incessantly, even using her rarely used coquettish manner.

Wen Ying remained silent. Afraid of upsetting her, Song Xingyun had no choice but to confess little by little, revealing everything, even her dreams. Then she noticed Wen Ying's shoulders trembling. She pouted, "Wenwen, don't cry. I was wrong. I swear I'll never hide anything from you again..."

The next second, Wen Ying's body trembled even more violently. She rolled over and laughed through her tears, "I'm not angry. You two are so adorable, I can't wait to see you two together."

Song Xingyun: ......

She snapped out of her daze and launched an attack on Wen Ying's ticklish spot, "Fine, you were faking it..."

Song Xingyun and Wen Ying played around on the bed for a while until they were both exhausted. Then they lay down side by side. "Are you really not angry?" Song Xingyun asked again, uncertainly.

Wen Ying pouted. "She was angry for three seconds, I guess."

"Only three seconds? That's not like you, unless..." Song Xingyun suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of another possibility, "Are you also hiding something from me?"

She recalled the conversation between Wen Ying and her in the car when Wen Ying drove her to Villa No. 9.

I thought it would take a lot of effort to get Wen Ying to talk, but the next second I heard Wen Ying say very directly: "I've taken a liking to Ying Qi."

Song Xingyun: ?

The two chatted all night until dawn. Not long after, Song Xingyun's alarm clock rang. Wen Ying turned over, her eyes still closed, and mumbled, "Maybe I should take half a day off to sleep."

"Even if you skip work, I believe your dear boyfriend won't say anything..."

Song Xingyun struggled to get up. "No, this is a matter of public and private matters. There's still important work to do today. You should get some more sleep."

When Song Xingyun went downstairs, she bought an iced Americano. It was so cold and bitter that she shivered after just one sip.

They hadn't finished drinking by the time they reached the entrance of Villa No. 9. Ying Qi was eating a sandwich when Song Xingyun came in with a frown. "Good morning, Assistant Song."

Song Xingyun looked up and startled him. "Your dark circles are like that. Did you get punched by Wen Ying last night because you didn't get along with her?"

Yu Mushang, who had been standing silently to the side, could no longer maintain his indifferent demeanor upon hearing Ying Qi's words. He turned to Song Xingyun and asked, "What's going on?"

Song Xingyun was in a rush to leave today and didn't even have time to cover her dark circles. As soon as she entered the door, she sensed that Yu Mushang seemed angry and was deliberately ignoring her, but now it seemed that he was indeed stubborn but soft-hearted. "It's nothing, I just went to bed too late last night..."

"What time did you go to sleep?" She didn't expect Yu Mushang to ask that extra question.

Song Xingyun, stunned, blurted out the truth, "5...5:30?"

"Hmph." Yu Mushang snorted coldly after hearing this and got up to go back to the house from the courtyard.

Ying Qi watched the scene unfold and couldn't help but remind her, "The boss is in a very bad mood today, no, she's been in a bad mood since last night."

Song Xingyun was still standing there thinking about how to coax him when Ying Qi said, "How can you girls have so much to talk about that you can chat until 5:30 in the morning?" He didn't even realize that he had just blurted it out. After asking, he wondered why he was so curious about this.

Seeing him still leisurely brewing tea, Song Xingyun threw a "landmine" at him, "Of course I'll listen to Wenwen's plan on how to win you over!"

"Cough cough cough." Ying Qi choked on her words and coughed. Song Xingyun didn't give him a chance to ask any more questions and had already disappeared.

After catching his breath, Ying Qi muttered to himself, "I must have misheard!"

After entering the room, Song Xingyun wanted to explain a few words to Yu Mushang, but when she found that he was in an online meeting, she quietly left and focused on finishing her work in one go. "The receiver is designed to be smaller and better hidden. Perfect."

She stretched and got up after sending the design of the glasses for the blind to Yu Mushang's email. She was so focused on drawing that she didn't even know when Ying Qi left, only seeing his message that said, "Something came up, can't eat together."

Song Xingyun took some snacks and tea and went to Yu Mushang's office. She knocked twice but no one answered. She peeked through the crack in the door and saw that Yu Mushang was still in a meeting with his headphones on. She then peeked in with her head and finally her whole body.

As she walked, she deliberately made some small noises to let him know that someone had come in. Before she could do anything, she saw that Yu Mushang had already taken off one of his earphones the moment she entered.

As soon as Song Xingyun walked to Yu Mushang's desk, she heard him say, "That's all for today's meeting."

Was she just lucky? But having not seen him so serious in a long time, Song Xingyun was actually a little intimidated. She wanted to pretend she was Ying Qi, put down the tea and snacks, and leave.

As soon as I turned around, he grabbed my wrist precisely. "Just like that, you're leaving?"

Song Xingyun felt a little guilty, "You knew it was me..."

Yu Mushang snorted again, "I wouldn't mistake you for Ying Qi." He remembered her footsteps and scent very clearly. "You haven't answered me yet, and you're just leaving like this?"

"That's only if I leave first..." Song Xingyun muttered, looking at her wrist which he was gripping tightly, before taking small steps closer to him. "It's not that I'm afraid of you, or that you don't want to talk to me..."

Yu Mushang was a little annoyed, and in his anger, he pulled the person onto his lap, "You're trying to bite me back?"

Startled by him, Song Xingyun actually bit his shoulder, then said playfully, "I just bit you."

Yu Mushang: ......

He was at a loss for what to do with her for the time being.

The old Bai family residence courtyard,

Bai Shuyan held a teacup in her hand, her ears filled with the news she had overheard last night in the courtyard next to the Yu family's house, which was separated by only a wall from the Yu family's house.

She chuckled. "Interesting."

"Yu Mushang actually got together with that female assistant?" She vaguely remembered Song Xingyun, who was quite resilient and attractive.

So Song Xingyun was the reason she was rejected that day?

Bai Shuyan glanced at the time, made a phone call, her red lips were fiery, but her tone was icy cold, "Did you find out what I asked you to investigate last night?"

The male voice on the other end of the line was very respectful, "It has been found and sent to your phone."

Bai Shuyan hung up the phone and opened the received file. After quickly glancing through it, her expression became subtle. "You can fall in love even with a life in your hands?"
