Chapter 266: Just Pretend Nothing Happened
Xi Muxuan did take some wrong medicines, which would affect her nerves.
After having a check-up in the hospital, she rejected her father's suggestion that she take good care of herself and asked Qi Moxu to take her back to his villa.
The crystal chandelier cast tiny spots of light on the ceiling. Xi Muxuan stared at the silver lines on Qi Moxun's suit, which she had deliberately fastened before.
Later, I wanted to return it.
Qi Moxun told her to just throw it in the trash can.
She was reluctant at that time.
She has treasured it all these years.
But now, it suddenly seemed that those winding patterns resembled the curve of his lips when he was pursed in despair.
The wine glass was hot in her palm, and she counted the 17th time the ice bucket on the bar reflected the cold light, until Qi Moxu's cashmere coat wrapped in the scent of cedar covered her.
"He..." With half a piece of crushed ice stuck in her throat, Xi Muxuan tilted her head back and drank the whole glass of mojito. The mint leaves brought a bitter taste to her tongue.
"He actually treated me like this." The ice cubes hit the rim of the porcelain cup with a crisp sound, and she heard her voice split in two.
Half of it was still in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in Qi Moxun's office, and the other half had already fallen into the hot cocoa handed to him by Qi Moxu.
She was fine during the fireworks display.
At that time, I was sober when I plotted against Shen Hanxing.
But before I came back, I went to the bar to drink and I didn’t know what I was doing.
Especially when she knew that Qi Moxun was going to use tax issues against her.
She felt the anger in her heart magnified countless times.
That's why she does things that even she herself can't understand.
Now, her image in the business world is gone.
Her father was also disappointed in her.
What’s the next step, should we change the successor?
Later, she might be left with nothing.
Qi Moxu watched her curl up in the corner of the sofa. The hot cocoa on the coffee table was steaming up, blurring the red corners of her eyes. It reminded him of when she was twelve years old, squatting in the garden to bandage the wounds of a stray cat. Even when the thorns scratched her fingertips, leaving tiny blood marks, she refused to cry. She just smiled up at him and said, "Moxu, look, the little cat's eyes are like amber."
"Are you feeling dizzy?" He handed her a warm towel. When his fingertips touched her cold wrist, he heard his own heartbeat drowning out the wall clock.
Xi Muxuan shook her head, but stumbled into his arms when she stood up. The moment her hair brushed against his Adam's apple, all her restraint collapsed in the smell of whiskey.
She was drinking the kind of wine that Qi Moxun liked, but at this moment she was as drunk in his arms as a piece of snow that was about to melt.
He felt that his long-cherished wish had come true.
I feel extremely satisfied.
But that's not enough.
He really wanted to embed this woman into his bones.
Let her belong to you forever.
"You know, I've liked you for about ten years."
Xi Muxuan had lost all her rationality and of course would not respond to him.
"Xuanxuan, you will only be happier if you are with me."
"You must like me too, otherwise why would you trust me and let me take you back at a time like this?"
He hugged her tightly and slowly placed a kiss on her forehead.
Xi Muxuan didn't refuse.
She even hugged him.
He seemed encouraged.
I felt excited.
"Xuanxuan, I will make you happy and happy in the future, believe me!"
Then he bent down, picked the person up horizontally, and walked towards the bedroom.
…
The sunlight leaking through the gap in the curtains was like a golden comb. Xi Muxuan opened her eyes in pain, and the first thing she saw was the celadon deer at the head of the bed.
She found it at an antique market three years ago. At that time, Qi Moxun said, "A deer holding a Ganoderma lucidum is a good omen for longevity." Now it is facing the messy bed, and the glaze looks cold in the morning light.
The moment my head split, memories came flooding back:
Qi Moxu's fingertips trembled as they brushed across her collarbone. When he whispered, "I've liked you for ten years," fireworks happened to explode outside the window, causing fragments of light to flash in his eyes.
That moment.
She didn't know what was wrong with her.
She just grabbed his wrist like that, not knowing whether she wanted to push him away or pull him closer. She only remembered the mole on the back of his neck pressing against her palm like a gold-stamped seal.
"Awake?" Qi Moxu pushed the door open carrying a tray, and steam was rising from the pumpkin porridge in the white porcelain bowl.
Xi Muxuan suddenly pulled the quilt to wrap herself. The kiss mark from last night left a red mark on her shoulder. She stared at his dark circles and suddenly found that this man, whom she usually looked down upon, had grown some unsettling edges.
"I'm sorry." As he put down the tray, the silver spoon made a light sound on the porcelain plate. "I know you like big brother, but I..."
He swallowed the second half of the sentence with his Adam's apple rolling. He looked at her knuckles turning white as she clenched the corner of the quilt, and she seemed very flustered.
I also feel wronged.
It seemed as if all this was not his intention and he was forced.
But in the end, there was no way to refuse.
Coincidentally, Xi Muxuan saw the faint red mark on his wrist and remembered that she had left a tooth mark there last night.
Last night, it wasn’t Qi Moxu’s fault alone.
She is Qi Moxu's boss, and her words do carry a lot of weight to him.
And under that scene.
It seemed that she was the one who took the initiative.
In this world, the only one who can reject her when she takes the initiative is probably Qi Moxun.
"I want to go home." When she lifted the quilt, she saw her suspender pajamas tilted on the carpet, and the lace edge was hooked on the thread of Qi Moxu's sweater.
Qi Moxu reached out to help her, but she dodged him. As his fingertips brushed against the air, he heard her say, "Just pretend... nothing happened."
His expression dimmed instantly.
"I know you've always looked down on me."
"I will keep this matter confidential."
He looked very pitiful, as if all this was a devastating experience for him.
Xi Muxuan inexplicably felt a little soft-hearted.
I am not as disgusted with Qi Moxu as before.
She took a deep breath.
My body still aches slightly.
Qi Moxu also had her scratches on his body.
Neither of them is innocent.
In fact, this matter was all Shen Hanxing’s fault.
If Shen Hanxing hadn't intervened, she wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
"What I mean is that everyone is very accepting of this now, so you shouldn't keep it in your heart."
"I can't be responsible for you for this matter now."
She said these words like a scumbag.
But there's nothing I can do.
She really didn't like Qi Moxu. Even if she forced herself to be together, it would be useless and they would still break up in the end.
So it’s better not to start.
Qi Moxu chased after him, his voice very urgent.
"Will you see me if my brother isn't around?"
Xi Muxuan sighed.
"Don't think like that... Well, anyway, you should quit your job, go back to study hard, graduate well, and find the right person to marry."
