Mu Xiaocheng blinked, puzzled. Shang Qi walked up to Mu Xiaocheng, nodded to her, and said, "The master came back especially to make lunch for you."

Shang Qi remained expressionless. After speaking, he formally put away his briefcase and laptop.

Did I come back specifically to make her lunch?

Mu Xiaocheng gripped the cup in her hand, smiled, and thought, "Mr. Ji does have the potential to be a devoted husband."

—

In the afternoon, Zhou Ningyi called Mu Xiaocheng and asked her to come back to the compound.

Mu Xiaocheng was quite satisfied with her lunch, as Ji Huaishen had cooked it for her.

Ji Huaishen was very busy and prepared to leave after lunch.

He glanced at Mu Xiaocheng, who was sprawled on the sofa, and couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile: "Shall I take you there?"

He overheard the gist of her phone call with Zhou Ningyi.

Mu Xiaocheng's eyes darted around: "Thank you, boss."

She ate too much and didn't want to drive.

Most importantly, she now has almost no aversion to Ji Huaishen.

Although there was still a hurdle in my heart that I couldn't overcome, Mr. Ji just became more and more pleasing to the eye the more I looked at him.

And he can even cook!

This is the key point.

Girls usually need some time to get ready to go out.

Although Mu Xiaocheng isn't a girl who likes to dress up or wear makeup, she still pays some attention to her image.

After all, she is somewhat of a public figure.

Standing behind Ji Huaishen, Shang Qi glanced at his wristwatch and said mechanically, "Sir, the appointment with the chairman of Longxiang Group is at 2 PM, we..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was silenced by a cold glare from Ji Huaishen.

Shang Qi lowered his head and remained silent.

My husband is a very punctual person, but today...

Shang Qi looked up at the location of Mu Xiaocheng's room upstairs and sighed silently.

I'm definitely going to be late for today's meeting.

Mu Xiaocheng was quite quick; she packed her things quickly, grabbed her bag, and went downstairs.

When Ji Huaishen saw her come down, his deep eyes lit up immediately.

"Let's go." His voice was deep and pleasant.

Mu Xiaocheng followed him into the car.

Shang Qi was sitting in the passenger seat when he received a call from Longxiang Group's partner shortly after getting in the car.

The meeting time is up, and they're urging us on.

Shang Qi looked back at Ji Huaishen with some difficulty, moved his lips, and didn't know how to start the conversation.

Mu Xiaocheng has a pretty strong sense of insight.

Shang Qi is a man of his word, loyal and rigid like a robot.

Something's been off today.

"Do you have anything important to do today?"

She noticed that Shang Qi had already answered several phone calls.

Moreover, he looked troubled and conflicted. It was obvious that something was wrong.

Ji Huaishen lazily raised his eyes, glanced at Shang Qi in front of him, and said unhurriedly, "An unimportant meeting."

It's unimportant?

Mu Xiaocheng is no longer a child.

If it were truly insignificant, so many calls wouldn't be coming in.

"Why don't you drop me off up ahead? It's quite close anyway, I can walk there. Your business is more important."

Hearing her words, Ji Huaishen frowned slightly: "Not as important as you."

His voice was flat, without any emotional fluctuation, as if he were talking about something completely ordinary.

These are just five words.

This stirred up ripples in Mu Xiaocheng's heart once again.

She pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "But making money is also very important."
