After dinner, Gu Boyan went to the company. While sitting in the car, he tilted his head to look out the window. The trees soaked in sunlight were receding backwards, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
A few minutes later, he took out his cell phone and called Xiao Yan.
"Hello" Xiao Yan's voice came. It seemed very noisy on the other side, with loud background music. After a few seconds of rustling, Xiao Yan seemed to walk to a quiet corner.
The heavy music, like thunder and drums, faded away.
Gu Boyan then spoke slowly, "Mu Xin is back. Do you know this person?"
There was a noticeable pause of several seconds before Xiao Yan's fur stood up as if his tail had been stepped on. "What the hell, I don't know her at all. Anyone who knows that bad-tempered woman is truly unlucky!"
Gu Boyan remained silent, as if he saw through everything but refused to expose it, as if he was waiting for something.
As expected, Xiao Yan, the unlucky man, slowed down his tone after a roar. He coughed uncomfortably twice and asked casually, "When did she return to China?"
"Two days ago, in Yunshan District, you came to take her away."
Through the cold voice on the phone, Xiao Yan could clearly feel the displeasure towards Mu Xin in Gu Boyan's tone.
"What did she do to you?" Xiao Yan's tone was filled with a nervousness that he himself hardly noticed. He wondered why Mu Xin would run to Gu Boyan.
"She's taking my wife!" Gu Boyan gritted his teeth and said, "Take her away quickly, or I don't mind letting the Xiao family arrange two African projects for her."
"Hey hey hey" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan could no longer pretend and said hurriedly: "No, you can't drive my wife away for your wife"
Mu Xin finally agreed to come back from Africa, but she can't go there again.
Gu Boyan sneered, not disguising his sarcasm, "Then hurry up and get your wife. Don't let her be idle all day and lead Chen Nian'an astray."
Xiao Yan mumbled something, put the hung up phone in his pocket, turned around and walked through the quiet corner back to the booth. The sound of carnival and the waving and shouting of the crowd on the dance floor filled the bar.
"Mr. Xiao, are you leaving?" Luo Er lazily lay on the sofa, holding the armrest with one hand and a bottle of wine in the other. He raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Xiao Yan pick up the green jacket on the booth.
"Hey, Mr. Xiao, you came out to have just one drink and left. That's not very nice of you."
"Get lost!" Xiao Yan threw his coat over his shoulders, picked up the wine he handed over and drank it all in one gulp. He glanced at the four or five playboys in the big booth and smiled. "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. It's my treat today, so order whatever you want!"
Luo Er blew a loud whistle, and several people laughed and shouted that Young Master Xiao was generous.
The moment he left the bar, the noisy shouting behind him disappeared. Xiao Yan took a breath of fresh air, got in the car, started the engine and drove towards Gu Boyan's villa on the mountain, Yunshan District.
The sports car whizzed through a conspicuous purple arc in the endless stream of cars and people.
"Damn, young man, where did you come from? I want such a nice Lamborghini too!" The owner of a small white car behind him poked his head out.
Yunshan District, Suyuan.
"What should I do?" Chen Nian'an sat cross-legged on the blanket, biting his lip and shaking Mu Xin's arm.
"It's okay, you're already an adult, and you still think of yourself as a bean sprout?" Mu Xin didn't look anxious at all. On the contrary, there was a clear teasing on the corner of her mouth, and she winked and said: "Besides, you are not at a disadvantage with Gu Boyan's figure and appearance. Don't forget that you are already a married woman!"
"Go away!"
Chen Nian'an frowned, looking at her gloating expression, his face was as silent as death.
"Tsk," Mu Xin said calmly, raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't want to have a relationship with him, do you?"
That’s not the case. Chen Nian’an denied it at first reaction. In fact, including her previous life, she was already 23 years old.
She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then spoke vaguely: "I just always feel a little scared..."
"What are you afraid of? I still want to find a man to sleep with. Let's go to the bar this week. Do you want to come?" Mu Xin raised his slender eyebrows, with a hint of encouragement.
Chen Nian'an was silent for a while. Looking at her expectant gaze, he spread his hands with regret, "I can't go out yet."
Mu Xin was also silent. After a long while, he said, "Are you really planning to stay in the mountains forever?"
She probably also understood that if the Zhong family were to fall, the person behind the scenes would have unclear motives and might even threaten Chen Nian'an's life. Gu Boyan probably confined her to protect her.
The two men sat cross-legged opposite each other, each holding a big doll in their hands. Chen Nian'an shook his head, and a sharp light flashed in his clear eyes.
She couldn't just sit there and wait for death, leaving everything to Gu Boyan to investigate alone.
"I will talk to Gu Boyan about this tonight."
"Will he agree?"
"I don't know. He just told me not to go out alone, but..." Chen Nian'an raised his lips, his eyes cunning, "I'll just go in and out with him. It's much more convenient outside than in the mountains."
Mu Xin opened her mouth, and with her sisterly understanding, she immediately understood what Chen Nian'an meant, "You want to go to his company?"
Before Chen Nian'an could answer, she asked another question out of concern, "Can you still go to the bar with me?"
Mu Xin's eyes were so hot. She hadn't had a good time since returning to China.
Chen Nian'an was extremely bored these past two days. He hardly thought at all and just nodded repeatedly, agreeing to go to the bar to have fun.
"Oh right." Mu Xin put the stuffed animal aside, took out his phone, opened WeChat, and turned the screen towards Chen Nian'an, "Look..."
Chen Nian'an moved his butt and moved closer. The avatar of the person clicked on the phone was pure white with no comments.
"This is?"
"I'll recommend him to you. He's a hacker I met at an exchange program for overseas students in Africa. We were the only two Chinese at the time, so we chatted and got along well. He's incredibly good at the internet, and there's nothing he can't find."
"If you have anything you want to check, you can tell him directly. However, his fees are not low, and he seems to be quite famous in international organizations," Mu Xin said as he recommended the person.
"By the way, I told him about you, just add him directly."
"Yeah." Chen Nian'an nodded, added the person, and randomly clicked on the homepage. There was not much content in the circle of friends and it was only visible for three days. The background was a pure white sea of flowers. The photo was blurry and it was difficult to tell what flowers they were.
Chen Nian'an glanced at the time and found that it was almost twelve o'clock. After breakfast, the two of them did not go out for a walk, but chatted for a while in Suyuan. Unexpectedly, several hours had passed.
Mu Xin's bright red dress from yesterday was wrinkled and smelled of alcohol, so Chen Nian'an found her a white dress of his own to change into.
"Let's go and have dinner." Chen Nian'an loosened his crossed legs and slowly stood up. Mu Xin, who was standing next to him, suddenly jumped up, feeling dizzy and almost fell to his knees.
"Fuck!" She held her waist and cursed, without any of her usual arrogance and coldness, "My old arms and legs..."
Suddenly, there was the roar of a sports car downstairs.
