Chapter 163 Why did it take so long to talk to Gu Zhao?
As Song Mingxi spoke, she suddenly covered her slightly bulging belly. A wave of cramps came over her. She gritted her teeth and gasped, and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Shit, what's wrong with you?"
"Doctor! Family doctor!" Zhou Xu shouted for help.
After a lot of trouble, Song Mingxi came out of the hospital in the middle of the night. Liu Heng came to see him off personally. As a doctor, considering the patients is his first priority.
After watching Song Mingxi get into the car, he subconsciously lowered his voice and asked, "She's not pregnant yet, so why are you still angry with her?" After saying that, he looked at his expression and guessed, "Are you having an affair with another woman?"
“…”
Zhou Xu was speechless for a while.
Fortunately, Song Mingxi was fine, he just spoke a little loudly just now, which resulted in a temporary lack of oxygen supply.
Now that he had finished breathing oxygen, Liu Heng directly told him that he didn't need to be hospitalized and could go home.
"The one who's messing around is Xie Siyan..."
Zhou Xu sighed deeply, and thinking about Xie Siyan's recent movements, he suddenly felt that the future of his own young seedling was in jeopardy.
I didn’t expect such a big disaster to happen before I was even born.
Xie Siyan is truly his ancestor.
——
When Mu Jia learned that Song Mingxi was admitted to the hospital that day after meeting with him, he was very anxious and quickly called to express his condolences.
"Jia Jia, it's really okay!" Song Mingxi repeatedly emphasized on the phone.
Even after saying this, Mu Jia still felt very guilty.
In the next few days, she deliberately avoided Song Mingxi, fearing that she would make her worry again because of something.
In short, give birth to the baby first.
Mu Jia had no way to confide in anyone, and all his worries were piled up in his chest, without even a small gap to breathe.
On the other hand, Xie Siyan was full of tricks and dramas, and he insisted that she watch. She was like an audience member forced to sit in the front row, watching them perform a romantic drama.
Mu Jia keenly discovered that after the last dinner, Chi Wu seemed to have changed his opinion of Xie Siyan——
In the past, it was obvious that she treated Xie Siyan with mostly social interactions, perhaps because she was afraid of the status and power he represented, so she was more careful about the degree of interaction;
And now, even Mu Jia, a bystander, noticed Chi Wu's hesitation.
When she was with Xie Siyan, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, probably because she felt that he looked different from what he actually was.
Xie Siyan has always been a person who likes to say shocking things.
Every time this happened, Chi Wu's eyes would shine brightly as they fell on him.
Mu Jia absentmindedly looked at the text message in front of him, "Director Mu, Mr. Xie asked you to go to the tea room."
"good."
Mu Jia put away his phone and went upstairs resigned to his fate.
The sunlight slanted in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
In the afternoon, the entire tea room is divided into spaces of light and dark by sunlight.
Xie Siyan sat in front of the rosewood tea table by the window, his bony fingers gently fiddling with a teapot. The amber tea drew a graceful arc in the air and fell into the celadon cup in front of Chi Wu.
“Amazing!”
Chi Wu clapped, smiled, looked up, and saw Mu Jia coming in.
"Come and sit down." Xie Siyan told her casually without looking at her.
Chi Wu was very aware of social distancing. He was not surprised at all when Xie Siyan suddenly called someone in. Instead, he acted very naturally. Mu Jia could only sit aside.
Because they both belong to the bourgeoisie, the topics of their conversation ranged from vacations to investments.
"This biotech stock," he said, tapping his fingertips on the tablet to bring up a set of data curves, "although it has experienced significant fluctuations recently, the patent barriers for its core technology have already been established."
Amidst the aroma of tea, his voice was as clear and icy as iced whiskey. He glanced at Mu Jia beside him and said, "Director Mu, please tell us in detail."
Mu Jia had no choice but to lean forward slightly and serve the client in front of her with professionalism. "My opinion is similar to Mr. Xie's, but we also have to consider the FDA approval risk..." As she spoke, she smiled slightly, "Miss Chi, do you want to invest? Sometimes it may be safer to entrust your assets to a professional institution."
Chi Wu obviously just came to exchange feelings and was not interested in these topics.
After Mu Jia asked, she didn't get any clear answer, so she simply hid in the corner. Chi Wu pulled up a review of a recently released movie to share with Xie Siyan, and Xie Siyan occasionally said something casually.
"By the way, there's a new suspense film that came out recently," she said with a hint of excitement in her voice. "The critics said the twists were handled brilliantly. My director even asked me to learn from it."
Xie Siyan was obviously absent-minded. He said "hmm" nonchalantly and glanced at her hair.
There was a fallen leaf there, probably picked up from the terrace just now.
He paused, then naturally reached out his hand, raised his slender fingers, and picked up the small ginkgo leaf.
Chi Wu didn't expect his action -
When she saw the leaf in his hand, her eyes widened slightly, and then she smiled, "I wasn't holding this up while talking to you, was I?"
The sunlight shines through her trembling eyelashes, casting fine shadows on her cheeks, giving her a feeling of a peaceful and tranquil life.
In the shadows, Mu Jia silently tightened the teacup in his hand.
Outside the window, clouds drift across the city skyline.
For a moment, no one spoke, and the only sound in the tea room was the soft sound of boiling tea.
Someone knocked on the door and said they were looking for some information. The information was probably on Xie Siyan's desk and was related to the project Mu Jia was working on.
Mu Jia volunteered, stood up and went over. When he walked out the door, he found that the person who wanted the information was the male colleague he had met at the entrance of China Construction before.
"Gu Zhao. Director Mu." He introduced himself first.
Mu Jia also extended his hand in a friendly manner and shook hands with him, "Mu Jia, we've met before."
Gu Zhao quickly followed her. Mu Jia did not rush into Xie Siyan's office, but took the backup from her workstation and handed it to Gu Zhao.
"Isn't this with Mr. Xie?"
Mu Jia explained good-naturedly, "I printed two extra copies, but they were of no use."
"You are so thoughtful." Admiration flashed in the other person's eyes.
The two of them were outside for only half an hour. When they returned to the teahouse, Chi Wu had already left. Xie Siyan sat alone with a look of surprise on his face, making himself some tea.
Mu Jia didn't understand why he was so angry. Was he blaming himself for not being able to make tea for his eldest master when he went to get the documents?
Thinking this, she walked over, sat down in the Ming-style armchair in the corner, and took the teapot from his hand.
"Let me do it."
Xie Siyan just leaned back in the same armchair in front of him and looked at her.
Mu Jia lowered his eyes, sat upright in front of the tea table, and gently brushed the warm curve of the purple clay teapot with his slender fingers.
The way she held the pot was a little peculiar. Her thumb lightly pressed the lid, and the other four fingers supported the bottom of the pot, as if she was holding a lotus about to bloom.
The water boiled, and the rising white mist blurred her eyebrows and eyes.
Xie Siyan saw her first warm the cup with boiling water, then she turned the celadon bowl lightly between her fingers for a few circles, and then she tilted her wrist slightly, and the Wuyi Rock Tea slid along the inner wall of the teacup into the pot.
When pouring the tea, her wrist was relatively steady. The tea flowed out from the spout and the fragrance of tea gradually filled the room.
Throughout the whole process, her breathing remained steady and gentle.
Until Xie Siyan suddenly spoke——
"Why did you take so long with Gu Zhao?"
Mu Jiacai's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he suddenly raised his eyes like a butterfly hovering among flowers.
