"I just wanted to ask."

Song Mai stubbornly spoke again.

There was silence on the other end of the phone. After a moment, Chu Xing's hesitant voice came through: "I do have something to hide from you, but could you wait a few more days? I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to find out so soon."

Song Mai exhaled a breath of stale air and closed her eyes wearily.

A tear slowly slid down her cheek, and her hair danced in the air as the wind blew.

"I don't want a surprise, I want the truth. Are you hiding anything from me? Give me the answer now." Song Mai had already lowered her standards.

As long as Chu Xing reveals his identity now, she is not unable to accept it.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Xing sighed and said, "Can you wait for me a little longer?"

"good."

Having grown up in a broken home, Song Mai naturally possesses a strong sense of pride and self-confidence.

She clenched her fists and hung up the phone immediately.

Ji Feng stared at her with some fear, worried that she might lose control of her emotions.

"How are you?"

"Could I ask you for a favor?" Song Mai gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at him coldly.

There was no emotion or feeling in her eyes, as if she were enduring something completely ordinary.

Ji Fenghe had already realized that she was mentally collapsing, and asked worriedly, "Anything is fine."

Do you know who the people living in Building A are?

How could Ji Fenghe not know? He hesitated, and after a moment of struggle, he still didn't know how to tell the whole story.

He was an outsider and shouldn't have gotten involved.

If he hadn't seen Song Mai's heartbroken state, he probably wouldn't have kindly brought her to the mountaintop.

In his heart, Song Mai was no longer an ordinary person.

I don't know when it started, but the girl's voice, appearance, and smile are all imprinted in my mind.

“Everyone living here is extraordinary. The earlier the villa number, the stronger their abilities. The fact that Chu Xing was able to enter here is enough to prove that he is not an ordinary rich person.” Ji Feng’s words were full of implications, but Song Mai was now completely unable to calm down and think.

"Then who is he?"

"He is indeed Chu Xing, but not the Chu Xing you imagine."

This sentence seemed to suddenly pierce through Song Mai's Ren and Du meridians.

She stared at him with wide eyes and a cold gaze.

Chu journey, Chu journey, Chu cloud journey.

All of this makes sense now.

No wonder I've seen him come and go freely at Yunxing Group so many times. Ever since I met him, I've seemed to have become much luckier. Whether it's the house or winning the lottery, it's all been arranged by him.

Back then, I naively thought that my luck had really improved, but now it seems that everything was premeditated.

Whenever danger arises, Chu Xing, even as an ordinary person, is always there to step in and help.

No matter what the problem is, it can be resolved quickly.

Chu Yunxing, if you were truly honest and upright, why did you have to make such a fuss? If you were unwilling to believe me from the beginning, why did you have Grandpa Chu act as a go-between?

"Thank you."

Song Mai pushed open the car door, turned around and left immediately.

It's already dark. Although the area is heavily guarded, it's sparsely populated, so it's inevitable that some people might have malicious intentions.

Ji Feng was worried about her safety, so he quickly chased after her.

"I'll take you back."

Song Mai did not refuse, after all, she was currently thinking about how to proceed, and had no other thoughts to think about.

After receiving Song Mai's call, Chu Xing felt uneasy.

He instinctively wanted to call back, but was stopped by Grandpa Chu.

"Now that you're home, stop using that old phone to work. When are you going to bring my granddaughter-in-law back with you? I haven't seen her in ages." Grandpa Chu really liked Song Mai.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Xing said softly, "It will take some more time."

"You've been married for almost a year now, haven't you told Mai Zi the whole truth yet?" Grandpa Chu couldn't help but ask anxiously. "Mai Zi is a good girl. Even if you feel awkward about it, after being together for so long, you should know that she can be trusted."

Perhaps worried that Song Mai would be bullied, Old Master Chu added in a low voice, "If you really have no feelings for her at all, then I might as well find her a good family sooner rather than later, so that you won't keep bullying her."

Chu Xing rubbed his temples helplessly: "It's all going according to plan, so don't worry. Wait for my good news in a while, and I will definitely bring the wheat home openly and honestly."

"Don't worry about your parents. No matter what happens, Grandpa will take care of it for you. The condition is that you have to treat Mai Zi well, otherwise I won't care about you anymore, you brat." Grandpa Chu pointed at him warningly.

Chu Xing nodded obediently.

In a few days, I won't have to worry about hiding my identity anymore.

He was about to confess everything, and from then on, Song Mai would be the legitimate Mrs. Chu.

Thinking of this, he felt a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Song Mai's unexpected phone call just now—could it be that she's already found out about my marriage proposal?

When Song Mai returned home, she looked at the cozy decorations and a cold smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

It's all fake; what's the point of being so heartwarming?

No matter how hard you try, you can't escape the control of others.

The next morning, Song Mai arrived at Yunxing Group with a blank expression.

My memory returned to the job recruitment at that time. It was because a job opening appeared out of nowhere that I was able to enter Yunxing Group smoothly, and even others suspected that I had gotten in through connections.

Now it seems that everything was traceable, but I was just too naive and mistakenly thought that I had really gotten lucky.

She glanced around coldly, then got up and prepared to go to the elevator.

Looking at her like this, Xie Manman subconsciously reminded her, "You seem out of sorts today. There's a meeting coming up later, remember to prepare in advance."

"I have something to do today and can't attend the meeting," Song Mai said with a forced smile, making up a random excuse.

Xie Manman found this appearance even more strange. She frowned helplessly and said in a low voice, "I'll let you off the hook this time because you're usually a model worker. But if you feel unwell or encounter any emergencies, be sure to tell me immediately."

As her direct supervisor, she has done a very good job.

Song Mai was naturally lucky to have come to Yunxing Group. After all, everyone here was very friendly to her, a fact she had already sensed.

Unfortunately, it was all just a mirage.
