"When...are you leaving?" Xiang Jin asked after a while.
"Tomorrow. How can you not want to part with it?" Murong Xiao's gaze was intense.
"No, I didn't."
Xiang Jin turned and walked towards the lawn.
The canna lily, who was playing frisbee, turned a corner, ran over at full speed, and pounced directly into Xiang Jin's arms.
Suddenly, the dog froze.
It sniffed twice, as if it had smelled a special scent, and started barking and rubbing against Xiang Jin's belly with joy.
The dog was so strong that Xiang Jin lost her balance and fell directly onto the lawn.
"What are you doing? So disrespectful! I'll cut off your dog food if you're not careful." Murong Xiao glared at the dog, who trembled in fright and quickly hid behind Xiang Jin.
"Don't yell at it, it didn't mean it."
Xiang Jin rubbed the dog's head, and the dog whimpered and snuggled into her arms, looking pitiful.
"It never dared to pounce on people before, it's all because you spoiled it, it's become more and more lawless." Murong Xiao sneered.
"It's just sticking to me, it's not trying to be affectionate. You're just jealous that it's close to me, humph."
"Jealousy?" Murong Xiao laughed angrily, and shouted, "Canna, come here!"
The dog trembled even more violently.
She whimpered and huddled in Xiang Jin's arms, refusing to come closer no matter what.
Murong Xiao's face darkened.
"If you don't come over now, I'll send you away tomorrow, so you'll never see your mother again!"
The dog was shocked.
It looked at Murong Xiao in disbelief, then glanced at Xiang Jin with reluctance, before slumping its head and walking toward Murong Xiao with a look of utter despair.
"Is this interesting? You're even threatening a canna lily."
“Interesting.” Murong Xiao raised an eyebrow.
Zhouzhou and Aunt Yang, who were busy at the door, watched this scene silently, and a smile involuntarily crept onto their lips.
"Why are the madam and young master acting like children, as if they're..."
"Competing for favor."
"Yes!" They're vying for a dog's affection.
If his wife has children in the future, they will probably still get along like this, and maybe even more interestingly than they are now.
By then, the villa will be bustling with activity.
…………
The news of the replacement of the spokesperson for "Deep Sea" continues to generate discussion.
By the afternoon of the following day, it had been dominating the trending topics on Weibo and remained incredibly popular.
In response, Fengrong's official account only offered a few brief words:
"Thank you all for your concern for the Fengrong project. The reason for changing the spokesperson is that Ms. Fang was injured. There is no other reason. Please don't speculate too much, so as not to hurt our boss's feelings~"
Therefore, the rumor that Xiang Jin was the mastermind behind it all was debunked.
But netizens' imaginations will never stop there.
"Does your statement mean that Miss Fang and Mr. Xiao haven't fallen out, and that they still have a deep friendship?"
"That's great! If they break up, I'll never believe in love again!"
"It seems Mrs. Murong's attempts to sow discord haven't succeeded... Ugly women are always the most troublesome. When will she divorce Master Xiao?"
"Same question, +1."
...
Fang Xinman quietly closed her Weibo account.
She sipped her coffee and smiled smugly.
The online opinions are currently biased towards her. If she uses this opportunity, Xiang Jin can be completely defeated, and she can get closer to Master Xiao.
but--
Lately, Lord Xiao has become increasingly cold towards her.
Last time, he even physically assaulted her, slapping her across the face and causing her to fall to the ground, scraping her hands and feet. She was only discharged from the hospital today.
Thinking of his expression that day, Fang Xinman hugged herself tightly and shrank back slightly.
None of this would have happened if it weren't for Xiang Jin.
Since her appearance, Lord Xiao's thoughts have become increasingly unpredictable, and now she can't even see the situation clearly anymore.
It's all because of this woman...
Fang Xinman gripped the coffee in her hand tightly, and the coffee instantly spilled, splashing onto her fair hand and turning it crimson.
"What happened?" Assistant Yu Zhenzhen quickly cleaned her hands. "Why are you getting angry over coffee? If you hurt yourself, you'll be the one who suffers!"
"Where is Master Xiao?"
Fang Xinman grasped her hand, her expression somewhat flustered.
"I heard from Feng Rong's secretary that he's going abroad today, apparently to discuss some kind of merger and acquisition, and it'll be a week-long closed-door meeting. What do you want to see him about?"
What, going abroad?
"Flight, when is the flight?"
Yu Zhenzhen opened her phone: "It's supposed to be around eleven o'clock, but they didn't say the exact time. I don't feel comfortable asking, and Feng Rong and the others are all very tight-lipped."
If I hadn't been feeding and caring for her, giving her gifts, and making her feel bad for me, she probably wouldn't even know these things.
Fang Xinman hurriedly walked towards the door.
Because of what happened in the deep sea, Lord Xiao must be angry with her. She must explain herself clearly!
She wasn't a greedy woman, she just loved him too much!
"You're not dressed yet!"
Yu Zhenzhen grabbed her coat and hurriedly chased after her.
*
My luggage for the business trip was packed quickly.
Murong Xiao walked straight into the dining room.
"Isn't the flight at 11 o'clock? Why aren't we leaving yet?" Xiang Jin put down the magazine in her hand and looked at him through the window.
"It's our own plane, when can't it leave? What, you don't want me to leave?"
Xiang Jin: "...No, I'm just narcissistic!"
Murong Xiao wasn't angry. He picked up a bowl and started serving soup: "Come on, let's eat."
This trip will take at least a week, and at most half a month. He must finalize the merger before he can leave. Before he leaves, he wants to have one last meal with her.
Xiang Jin walked to his side.
The soup was placed in front of Xiang Jin, who lowered her head and drank it silently.
After finishing their meal, Su Ming loaded his luggage into the car, while Murong Xiao answered a phone call on the lawn. After finishing, he walked towards the car parked at the door.
He stopped halfway through his journey.
Looking back at the doorway, it was empty.
They have no conscience; they didn't even bother to see him off.
Murong Xiao pouted slightly, acting a bit like a child throwing a tantrum. When he opened the back door, he was momentarily stunned.
"I was just about to pick up a friend from the airport, so... I'm asking for a ride." Xiang Jin shrugged, looking a little awkward.
Murong Xiao curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
"You can go, but what's wrong with the dog?"
The canna lily was lying next to her, refusing to move no matter what she said.
"I don't know either. It's been sticking to me these past two days. It's everywhere I go, and I can't get rid of it. Why don't you sit in the front?"
What other options are there?
Murong Xiao sighed softly and sat down in the passenger seat.
The Rolls-Royce slowly headed towards the airport.
"What friend are you going to pick up?" A cold, eerie voice came from ahead.
Xiang Jin: "...a classmate."
"Male or female."
Xiang Jin was petting a dog and subconsciously replied, "Male."
A dangerous and oppressive aura suddenly emanated from ahead.
Xiang Jin wanted to slap himself. He could have just made up a woman's story, but he had to ask for trouble by saying it was a man. Now look what happened, he's brought trouble upon himself.
Xiang Jin coughed and said in a serious tone, "...Actually, he's a transvestite."
