Murong Xiao scoffed coldly.
"The meeting is postponed to tomorrow." He closed the box, grabbed his coat, and strode out of the office.
Gu Feiyang was stunned.
"I eagerly brought him fruit, and this is how he treats me? Brother, come back here, come back here!"
Nobody paid him any attention.
Feeling like he wasn't the center of the universe anymore, Gu Feiyang got angry: "What's wrong with my brother? He barely acknowledges me. Anyone who doesn't know better would think I owe him money!"
Su Ming's inner monologue: Isn't ignoring you all the time?
But he dared not contradict his boss, so he coughed and said, "Young Master Gu, please be careful with your words. The young master is going to pursue his wife."
"Madam, what madam?"
“Naturally, it’s Mrs. Murong, the boss’s wife of Fengrong Group,” Su Ming replied.
Snap! Gu Feiyang's mind went blank: "Wait, what did you say? The boss's wife of Fengrong Group... my brother got married? When did he get married?! Damn, he got married so quietly!"
Su Ming: "...Young Master Gu, stay calm, this is standard procedure."
Given the boss's temperament, it would be quite unusual for him to marry a wealthy heiress or the prime minister's daughter in a proper ceremony, with only a half-proper wedding. Taking an unconventional approach is more in line with his style.
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I can't accept this..."
He hasn't even found his "white moonlight" yet, and his beloved older brother has already gotten married, and secretly at that! This is harder to accept than the end of the world.
He sat down in Murong Xiao's seat, looking dejected and aggrieved like a child.
His gaze wandered aimlessly until he spotted the note Xiang Jin had written: "The lost necklace has been found, but not this one. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xiao..."
"Huh, who wrote this? It looks so much like Xu Jianshen's handwriting!" Gu Feiyang examined the note. If he didn't know that Xu Jianshen and Murong Xiao were mortal enemies, he would have thought that it was written by Xu Jianshen for Murong Xiao!
"You know what, it really does look alike..." Su Ming was very surprised. How could his wife's handwriting be the same as Xu Jianshen's? Was it really just a coincidence?
That's so strange!
"No, I have to ask my brother..." Taking advantage of Su Ming's inattention, Gu Feiyang quietly put the note into his pocket.
……………………
After leaving the building, Xiang Jin went to the nearby bus stop to catch a bus back.
A gray Aston Martin pulled up in front of her.
"Get in the car." The car window rolled down, revealing Murong Xiao's perfectly sculpted features and his unapproachable aura.
Xiang Jin clenched her hands, suddenly becoming nervous.
"This, this is... Lord Xiao? Oh my god, I actually saw Lord Xiao..." Several girls were still standing at the bus stop. They quickly recognized Murong Xiao and started screaming at a high decibel.
Murong Xiao frowned: "Get in the car."
"No need, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now." Xiang Jin quickened her pace, wanting to leave this place of trouble; she really didn't want to have any more contact with him.
The Aston Martin followed closely behind her, eliciting a series of screams and drawing strange looks from many people.
Xiang Jin had no choice but to stop and look at him.
“If you don’t want to get into a fuss here, get in the car,” he ordered again.
Xiang Jin took a few deep breaths and tried to open the passenger door, but she couldn't.
"The back seat."
Xiang Jin had no choice but to open the back door, which opened easily this time.
She forced herself to sit down next to him, suppressing her nervousness and fear, and tried to move to the side as much as possible.
The car still smelled crisp and clean, carrying an imposing and oppressive aura that made Xiang Jin unconsciously hold her breath.
"Here you go, necklace." He shoved the box into her hand.
"No need, I don't need this. Mr. Xiao can give it to other unmarried girls." She wrote, unsure if he understood her subtle refusal.
unmarried……
Sharp yet warm words.
Murong Xiao scoffed: "What, you think I'm interested in you? Don't worry, not at all."
The words "It's not that bad" made Xiang Jin's heart clench. Sure enough, he didn't like her. Did he already have someone he liked?
Xiang Jin lowered her head: "I know that President Xiao just pities me, a poor person, and wants to help me, but I can't let my husband misunderstand that he is the best person to me in the world."
"Really? Then do you love him?" he asked.
This is the same question again, the second time. Xiang Jin was slightly taken aback.
She remained in a daze for too long, and his sarcasm intensified: "What, is this a difficult question to answer?"
"No, I was just wondering if he had eaten enough and dressed warmly, and if his leg pain had flared up again." These days she was either busy with Sister Ding's affairs or busy sorting out her chaotic thoughts, and hadn't thought about Feng Jianian at all.
It was only when he was suddenly mentioned that she realized she had been worried about him all along.
Murong Xiao was stunned when he saw the words she had written.
"Do you miss him?" he asked in a calm tone, even with a hint of tenderness.
Xiang Jin nodded.
"Then why don't you call him?" His tone held a hint of dissatisfaction.
Xiang Jin sighed: "I'm afraid of disturbing him."
She was thinking too deeply and didn't even notice the unusual tone in his words.
The atmosphere in the car returned to normal for the time being, but neither of them spoke again.
Soon, the car arrived at the warehouse entrance.
Xiang Jin thanked him, opened the door, and got out of the car.
She risked offending him again and handed the necklace to him with a note that read: "Anyway, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xiao, but I can't accept something given to me for no reason. Besides, I don't want to upset my husband."
