Five years into their marriage, her husband, who had never known how to coax her, handed Nan Xi a divorce agreement just to make his first love smile.
Nan Xi looked at the first love's fa...
Chapter 7 Arrangements
Nan Xi didn't want to hide the fact that she had been married before. Although it was a marriage of arrangement and both parties got what they wanted, some things had to be made clear in advance.
When Mu Yichen heard this, the smile on his face slowly faded and his expression became much more serious.
"Your past is the past. What I want is your future." Mu Yichen finished speaking, and as if afraid that she would regret it, he reminded her, "Your brother said that you agreed to the marriage, and there is no room for regrets on what you promised."
Nan Xi naturally would not regret it.
Her love had rotted in the flowerpot when it was in full bloom.
For the rest of her life, she just wants to live a good life and be with her family. If a marriage can save the family business, why not?
"As long as President Mu is willing to help Nanyuan overcome the crisis, I will never regret it, but..."
"Just what?"
Nan Xi explained the current situation, "I just signed the divorce agreement and haven't officially completed the divorce procedures yet."
Mu Yichen disagreed, "It's okay, I can wait."
Seeing him so calm, Nan Xi became more suspicious.
In the past, when she appeared as the eldest daughter of the Nan family, it would not be surprising that she was pursued by so many outstanding talents. But now, the Nan family is facing a development crisis, and she is already a second-married woman. She knows that she is not worthy of Mu Yichen, and she doesn't know what he wants from her.
"Why me?" Nan Xi finally asked.
The image of the girl lying in Nan Xu's arms appeared in front of Mu Yichen's eyes.
The girl who would act coquettishly in her brother's arms and ask her brother to buy her a figurine, and who would also protect her brother when he was fighting with others, saying, "Hit me first if you have the guts."
As Nan Xu's college classmate, Mu Yichen had met Nan Xi many times. At that time, he just thought that this sister who was five years younger than him was very interesting.
Until that time, when she protected Nan Xu, she also protected him...
That was the first time he was protected by a girl.
The memories of the past were pressed deep in his heart. Mu Yichen put away the smile on his face and replied to Nan Xi with only two words, "Suitable."
Nan Xi raised her eyebrows, somewhat puzzled.
"Nanyuan's predicament lies in its failed investment in new energy. I have already established a project team to separate Nanyuan's new energy sector and relaunch it. You will be the project manager."
When talking about work, Nan Xi became serious and said, "I have no objection."
"There's an industry banquet tomorrow, let's go together."
Nan Xi agreed.
After leaving Mu's, I was planning to go to the mall to pick out a dress when a tall man wearing glasses came over and said, "Manager Nan, you and President Mu are going to a business banquet tomorrow. The company has selected a suitable dress for you and has sent it to your home."
It was arranged so meticulously.
Nan Xi thanked him and returned to Xiangyuan Villa.
As soon as I entered the door, the nanny came up to me happily, "Miss, the Mu family sent some clothes and placed them in your cloakroom. It's a big box, and it looks like a lot of care was put into it."
Nan Xi returned to the house, opened the cabinet, and saw the dress.
Light grey diamonds dotted the hem of her skirt, making her look like a dazzling fairy.
Next to the dress, there was a label that read, "Dream Fairy Dress—DC."
——
"I'm going to attend a business banquet tomorrow, and I don't have a single suitable dress." Lin Rufei pointed at the row of dresses in front of her with disgust.
She had already inquired about it. Master DC had returned to his country and the dreamy fairy dress he designed was already on the shelves. There was only one of it. If she could appear in front of everyone wearing this dress tomorrow, she would definitely attract everyone's attention.
Qin Xiaoze asked the counter, and all the latest haute couture designs were on display in front of him.
"These clothes look good," he said.
"What's good about it? You didn't put your heart into it at all." Lin Rufei complained.
Qin Xiaoze frowned and his patience gradually faded.
He had never accompanied Nan Xi shopping. Occasionally, when he thought of buying her clothes, she would like whatever he bought and was never so picky.
This time, when he received the news of a business banquet, he contacted Lin Rufei and accompanied her from dusk to dark, but she was still not satisfied and was picky about the dress.
Noticing Qin Xiaoze's impatient expression, Lin Rufei smiled and hooked her arm around his neck, pinching the tip of his nose and acting coquettishly, "Okay, these clothes are fine, but I just want to choose a more perfect one, so that I can stay by your side and not embarrass you."
Lin Rufei's gentleness made Qin Xiaoze's expression much more relaxed. "You look good in anything you wear. You won't be embarrassed."
"But I want to show you the best side of me. I lost you for five years, and I want to make it up to you."
After Lin Rufei finished speaking, Qin Xiaoze touched her face and looked at the salesgirl, "Where's the dreamy fairy dress? Give it to me and try it on."
"I'm sorry sir, the Fantasy Fairy Dress was pre-ordered right after it was released."
Lin Rufei was unhappy, "You actually competed with me, and I'll return it if I decide. Look carefully, this is the president of Qin Group."
"I'm so sorry, the clothes have been taken away."
Lin Rufei's face was filled with disappointment. "Who on earth is it that would dare to go against me?"
Qin Xiaoze was also dissatisfied, "Let the designer come out and make another one."
"I'm sorry, Master DC can only be seen by appointment."
Lin Rufei chose the most expensive dress and left cursing.

Nan Xi was very busy for a while because she had not taken over the family business for many years. Fortunately, she had been working diligently in Gu's company over the years. Although she was only the assistant to the general manager, Qin Xiaoze gave her power and she was responsible for many things. It was not difficult for her to manage the family company.
Nan Xi looked through various documents until the early morning before going to bed.
The next day she had to attend a banquet which started at ten o'clock. Nan Xi got up early as usual, worked for a while, and then changed her clothes.
She attended the banquet as a project manager of Mu Group. She originally wanted to go to Mu Group to find Mu Yichen, but unexpectedly, when she went downstairs from the second floor, she saw Mu Yichen had arrived early and was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
"Good morning." Nan Xi greeted.
The early morning sun shines down like a ray of golden light, passing through her thick hair. The faint smile in her dimples seems to be filled with grace and calmness. The star-like diamonds on her clothes reflect the dazzling light, shining on her body, which is indescribably tempting and moving. The years pass by, and everything is as peaceful as before, as if she has returned to her childhood.
Mu Yichen looked at him in a daze, and only after a long while did he look away and stand up, "It's beautiful today."
"Thanks."
"The clothes suit you very well."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Mu."
"Just call me Yichen from now on."
Nan Xi didn't hesitate, "Yi Chen."
A gray Bugatti appeared at the banquet.
Recognizing Mu Yichen, countless industry elites came forward to greet him.
However, before I could say hello, I saw him open the back door and get out of the car holding a woman's hand.
This prominent figure who has always been chaste has never taken a female companion out and personally led her out of the car.
Everyone was in an uproar and came over to find out which young lady was so lucky to be appreciated by Mu Yichen.
