Chapter 124: Passionate Love

Xiao Beisheng's solution to Mu Chuchu was simple and direct.

Since his behavior caused Mu Chuchu's misunderstanding, he would reduce direct private contact with Mu Chuchu in the future.

When care is really needed, Gao Xun or someone else will do it, and Xiao Beisheng will not come forward directly.

As for what he said about asking Su Man to cooperate, it meant that he wanted Su Man to appear more often around Xiao Beisheng, show more affection to him, and prove to Mu Chuchu with actions that Xiao Beisheng would not play the game of having an extramarital affair.

Su Man started to deliver lunch to Xiao Beisheng again.

Moreover, he went there more frequently than when Mrs. Xiao asked him to do so before. He would go there almost every time Su Man had no classes.

This is of course one of Xiao Beisheng’s “methods”.

There are not many opportunities for the two to show their affection in front of Mu Chuchu, and the office is the most suitable place.

Su Man finished rehearsal that day and had no classes scheduled in the afternoon, so she went to Xiao Beisheng's company as usual.

There will be no food delivered today. Xiao Beisheng said he had ordered some food and asked Su Man to go and eat with him.

When Su Man arrived at the company, she met Mu Chuchu delivering documents to Xiao Beisheng.

Mu Chuchu put the document on Xiao Beisheng's desk. Xiao Beisheng didn't even look at her: "Just put it here."

Mu Chuchu put down the documents but did not leave.

Xiao Beisheng looked up in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Mu Chuchu pursed her lips, feeling particularly aggrieved, "Boss Xiao, have I done something wrong recently?"

"Why do you ask?"

Xiao Beisheng stopped the pen in his hand and looked at her seriously.

Mu Chuchu mustered up her courage and said, "You're very cold to me. You don't communicate directly with me when there are work tasks, and you let Assistant Gao convey everything. Sometimes you don't even look at me when I talk to you... If there's anything I'm not doing well, you can tell me directly and I'll change it."

"You're doing well. Don't worry too much. I was worried about you just starting your internship, so I took extra care of you. I think you can get into the normal working state now, or are you unable to handle the pressure of this job?"

Xiao Beisheng's answers were rigid, stiff and objective. When he was not gentle, he was quite serious.

In fact, he has always had this attitude towards his subordinates.

But for Mu Chuchu, she couldn't stand Xiao Beisheng's treatment of her. She felt like she had fallen from heaven to hell.

Having felt the warmth of the spring breeze, how can one accept the bitter cold that scrapes against one's bones?

Mu Chuchu didn't expect this answer. She seemed very aggrieved, and her self-esteem had suffered a great blow. Her eyes were red, but she said stubbornly: "I understand. I can handle the pressure. I will continue to work hard. Then, Mr. Xiao, I will go back to work first."

"Well, go ahead."

Mu Chuchu turned and walked out, her steps a little hurried. When she ran into Su Man at the door, she was obviously stunned, "Hello, Madam."

Su Man smiled at her politely: "Hello."

When Su Man entered the office, Xiao Beisheng changed his serious attitude, put down the work at hand, and stood up from the chair.

"How did you get here? Did you drive yourself?"

"Take a taxi. Traffic is restricted today."

"Didn't I say that if you encounter this situation, you should contact me in advance and I will send someone to pick you up?" He took her bag from her hand and helped her hang it on the coat rack on the side.

If Su Man hadn't known that Xiao Beisheng was putting on an act for Mu Chuchu, she would have been moved.

When Xiao Beisheng was at home and in a good mood, he would serve Su Man, but now he was in the company, and Su Man had never seen anyone or anything that could make Xiao Beisheng put down his work.

In the past, when she came, she had to wait patiently by the side until he finished his work.

Not long after, Mu Chuchu brought lunch over.

Xiao Beisheng had been talking to Su Man and didn't even look at Mu Chuchu.

Today we had a very popular crayfish restaurant. When Su Man saw it, she couldn't help but be surprised: "I just said a few days ago that I was a little craving for the crayfish from this restaurant! I didn't expect to eat it today."

"Hmm, do you think this is a coincidence?" Xiao Beisheng looked at her with a smile.

"Could it be that you changed your meal to crayfish today because I told you I wanted to eat it?"

"What else?"

Su Man was a little surprised.

At that time, they were going home together and the car passed by the store. Su Man just said this casually, and Xiao Beisheng just responded with "Eat if you want to."

She thought Xiao Beisheng was just being perfunctory, but she didn't expect that he had taken note of it.

She was about to take the gloves, but they were snatched away by Xiao Beisheng.

He put on gloves and concentrated on peeling the crayfish, then put all the peeled shrimps into a clean bowl.

When the shrimps were piled up into a small mountain, he took off his gloves and handed them to Su Man, "Eat it."

Su Man blinked her eyes, as if she didn't recognize Xiao Beisheng.

Then he thought again, he was just putting on an act for Mu Chuchu to see.

She started eating with a clear conscience, but she couldn't help but whispered to Xiao Beisheng: "Although I know you are acting for Mu Chuchu, don't you think you have been acting a little too well recently? Aren't you worried that if you act like a good husband, Mu Chuchu will be more indifferent to you..."

Xiao Beisheng frowned slightly, his expression a little strange: "Do you think that I treat you like this just for show?"

"Isn't it?" Su Man looked confused.

Xiao Beisheng resisted the urge to hit him, "When she was not around, I was also nice to you, right?"

"Then you... maybe it's inertia that's why you didn't act out of the moment."

Xiao Beisheng laughed, "Su Man, do you want to think about why I treat you like this?"

Su Man recalled it carefully.

Why?

Xiao Beisheng's attitude towards her changed after he arrested her in the bar that day.

After that, Su Man even felt that there was a feeling of passionate love between them.

But, isn't that all because Su Man told Xiao Beisheng about Mu Chuchu, so Xiao Beisheng wanted to act like a loving model couple in front of Mu Chuchu to put her doubts aside?

Xiao Beisheng asked: "Have you figured it out?"

"I've always understood."

Su Man grumbled and stuffed two or three shrimps into her mouth unconvincedly.

But she stuffed too much in one breath, and her mouth was small, so the reddish-brown sauce accidentally leaked out from the corner of her mouth. She was in a panic, raising her head and reaching for a tissue.

When she was in a panic, Xiao Beisheng came closer with a tissue, supported the back of her head with one hand, and wiped the corner of her mouth with the other.

Her movements were gentle, but her words were merciless and mocking: "I always thought you were a well-balanced, dignified woman who would never make such a fool of yourself. How come now I find that you are actually a little girl in private?"

Su Man glared at him and chewed the food in her mouth fiercely, as if she was chewing Xiao Beisheng's flesh.

After finally swallowing it all, she said, "How is this embarrassing?"

Xiao Beisheng chuckled: "It's not ugly, it's a little cute."

Su Man was stunned.

Was he insulting her or praising her? Why did she feel like she was being teased?

Whenever someone else was on the other side, Su Man felt that the other person was flirting with her.

But the person opposite him is Xiao Beisheng.

Su Man reflected a little regretfully whether she had not paid enough attention to her image in front of Xiao Beisheng recently. When she raised her eyes, she met his half-smile looking at her.

Suman glared at him again.

Xiao Beisheng did not act according to common sense. He suddenly leaned over and pecked her on the lips.

Su Man was stunned.

Xiao Beisheng left her and said, "I don't need you to be a big woman here. Little girls are fine. I can spoil you."

Su Man felt like a little deer running around in her heart, and then she heard a "ouch" at the door.

It was like two people collided with each other.

Immediately afterwards, the two people in the office heard Mu Chuchu apologizing to someone outside: "Sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry, is the thing broken?"

Su Man was quick-witted and realized: It turns out that Mu Chuchu had been peeking at the door just now.

No wonder Xiao Beisheng was peeling shrimps and kissing her secretly.

It was a close call. I almost thought I was in love.
