Her mother's words were a wake-up call, instantly sobering her up.
Why bother with so much? Xiang Qi is the most perfect woman in the world. Murong Xiao can tolerate a woman like Xiang Jin, so how could he not like her?
As long as she beckons with her finger and shows off her charm, why would she be afraid that the fish won't take the bait?
Therefore, she should not underestimate herself.
"Aqi, tell Mom, do you like Murong Xiao?"
Xiang Qi's ears flushed red: "Master Xiao is wise and brave, tall and handsome, the most outstanding and noble man I've ever seen. How could I... not like him? But Mom, his aura is too strong, I'm a little scared..."
"Aqi, don't be afraid. Mom is here to help you. With me here, I guarantee that everything will go smoothly for you. Mom will clear away any people or things that stand in your way."
Xiang Qi: "Thank you, Mom! Mom, I love you. You are the best person in the world."
Li Shuhui held Xiang Qi in her arms, gently patting her back, her eyes filled with a tenderness she had never shown before: "You are my daughter, of course I love you. Whatever you want, I will do my best to get it for you."
"Um!"
…………
Murong Xiao was injured and hospitalized. Li Shuhui thought it was a good opportunity to curry favor with him, so she taught Xiang Qi how to make some snacks and delivered them to the hospital while it was raining.
"Mom, why don't we wait for the rain to stop before going out? I just bought these shoes, they cost tens of thousands of yuan, they'll be ruined if they get wet in the rain," Xiang Qi muttered.
"My dear daughter, you can't show your sincerity without suffering a little."
Li Shuhui deliberately moved the umbrella away a little, letting Xiang Qi get wet. A few strands of hair fell from her forehead, and with a few drops of undried rain, the image of a disheveled beauty was immediately revealed. "She got soaked in the rain while delivering pastries to Master Xiao. How could Master Xiao not feel sorry for her?"
Xiang Qi instantly understood: "Mom is the best."
When the two arrived at the hospital, supporting each other, Murong Xiao had already been discharged. Butler Feng was tidying up the ward and was quite surprised to see them.
Xiang Qi hurriedly asked where she had gone after being discharged from the hospital. Butler Feng thought for a moment and said, "Probably to the company."
What a workaholic.
The two hurriedly carried snacks and soup to Fengrong headquarters. In the ward, the attending physician looked at the two rushing figures and asked Butler Feng in confusion, "Didn't President Xiao say he was going home to rest? When did he say he was going to the company?"
"I don't know, maybe they didn't say." Butler Feng smiled gently and continued packing up the BOSS's things.
When Xiang Qi and Li Shuhui arrived at Fengrong, the security guard at the entrance stopped them from entering. Xiang Qi put on airs and said, "You should know me, right? What's wrong with me looking for Murong Xiao?"
The other party showed no respect whatsoever: "Sorry, even if you're the King of Heaven, you can't do it without an appointment." Hao Fengrong was strict with rules and wouldn't make exceptions just because she knew someone.
Xiang Qi was so angry she was practically fuming. She, a genius designer from China, had actually been stopped at the door by a security guard. She was absolutely furious.
Li Shuhui comforted her while telling her to call Murong Xiao, but no one answered the phone.
Having no other choice, the two went to the front desk again.
Lu Feifei happened to be on duty at the front desk.
Upon seeing Xiang Qi, she instantly understood her purpose. These past few days, the internet has been flooded with rumors about her boss and this talented woman, making it impossible for her to avoid them.
"I'm sorry, but it's not possible without an appointment. Please make an appointment with Mr. Xiao before you come. Thank you." Lu Feifei's politeness was tinged with a hint of disdain as she refused decisively and resolutely.
Xiang Qi was a celebrity in the design world, and she had an ambiguous relationship with the head of Feng Rong, so she naturally attracted attention. Before long, more and more people started to gather in the lobby of Feng Rong, pointing and whispering around the two of them.
"Are you here to see Boss Xiao?"
"It seems so."
"It seems they really are together! My favorite couple actually became a reality!!! But why isn't she going upstairs? Did she get kicked out?"
"Is it possible that she never got in at all? Look, she's still carrying a food box."
"Tch, looks like she's throwing herself at him. A genius designer is actually throwing herself at our CEO Xiao. Doesn't she know that CEO Xiao is a married man?"
"She's shameless, brazenly wanting to be a mistress, why do you care so much..."
…………
Xiang Qi's face grew increasingly grim, almost dripping with gloom. She quickly left the headquarters, leaving Li Shuhui behind her unable to catch up.
…………
Haitang Bay.
Xiang Jin was staring blankly at a pot of pork rib and winter melon soup.
She originally wanted to catch up on some sleep.
As a result, I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. I felt restless and irritable, and for some inexplicable reason, I went to the kitchen and started making soup.
Back when they lived in Fengjia Village, Jia Nian also loved pork rib soup. Having both meat and soup was a luxury for her then, so she felt very satisfied whenever she made it. Plus, her soup-making skills were quite good, and they almost always finished it all.
or……
Xiang Jin glanced at the clock on the wall. If she went to the hospital now... she wondered if she could make it in time for dinner.
Just then, a loud "bang" came from the entrance hall. Xiang Jin was startled, and the soup spoon in her hand shattered into pieces. As she bent down to pick it up, she heard Zhou Zhou's deliberately raised voice: "Madam, the young master is back. Is your soup ready?"
Before Xiang Jin could answer, Aunt Yang chimed in, "It's ready. Would the young master like some? Madam specially prepared it."
As she spoke, she didn't forget to shoo Xiang Jin away and started cleaning up the broken pieces on the ground herself.
Murong Xiao's face was gloomy, as if someone owed him hundreds of millions, and his anger was on the verge of exploding. Hearing Aunt Yang's words, he paused, glanced subconsciously at the kitchen, said "No," and turned to go upstairs.
Aunt Yang kept pushing and shoving Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin silently put the pot lid on.
Aunt Yang sighed, then suddenly had a bright idea. She took the shard and gently ran it across Xiang Jin's fingertip: "Oh dear, Madam, you're hurt! Zhou Zhou, quickly get the first-aid kit!"
Zhou Zhou was confused and quickly ran to get the medicine box. When she returned, Murong Xiao had already appeared at the kitchen door, his eyes fixed on Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin was bewildered and looked at Aunt Yang.
Aunt Yang's mind went blank for a moment: "...Oh, I must be seeing things. But since the young master is here, why don't you have some of the soup that Madam made? It smells so good."
“Yes, I’ve lived eight lifetimes and never smelled such fragrant soup,” Zhou Zhou agreed.
The sizzling pot was emitting a rich aroma of meat and the refreshing scent of winter melon; it smelled wonderful. Murong Xiao spent the day at the hospital, receiving IV fluids and medication while also attending several international conferences. During the meetings, he always seemed distracted, his brow furrowed.
