Chapter 207 "Boss Lady"
Zhou Xu changed his previous silence and rushed to her. His voice was filled with suppressed anger: "Just try it!"
Song Mingxi also straightened his back and went forward without showing any weakness: "Let's give it a try! I'll send him a message right now - he asked me yesterday if I had arrived in Nanshi!"
Zhou Xu's eyes widened, his anger growing even stronger. "You guys talked about this yesterday? How dare you blame me?" He asked in disbelief, "Song Mingxi, do you even understand what marital fidelity means?"
This time, Song Mingxi did not refute immediately.
She took a half step back, slightly standing on tiptoe, but her tone became lighter, with a sense of control and relaxation: "But didn't He Chen come to see me when we first got married? Weren't you quite 'generous' enough to make room for us then?"
She chuckled, "Zhou Xu, have you forgotten that we're just in a contractual marriage? We're each having our own fun and finding our own love. What does it have to do with you?"
Zhou Xu was choked and speechless for a moment, feeling a surge of anger in his chest. He waved his hands in the air for a long time, and finally squeezed out a few words: "Okay, okay... You're awesome!"
Song Mingxi completely ignored him. When he heard this, he turned around, picked up his bag and left.
Mu Jia had never seen them quarrel so fiercely before. He stood there in a daze for a moment, not knowing what to say.
It was not until Song Mingxi's footsteps disappeared at the stairs that Zhou Xu finally left the dining table angrily, panting and saying, "I'm going to the bathroom to calm down."
For a moment, she and Xie Siyan were the only ones left in the box.
Xie Siyan seemed to have just come back to his senses. He sneered and said teasingly, "Fortunately, you are not as fierce as her."
Mu Jia was choked by these words and couldn't help muttering in his heart: If I were so fierce, I would never be friends with you from the beginning.
——
Xie Siyan went out without permission yesterday. When Mu Jia returned to the hospital to go through the discharge procedures, he was inevitably asked a few more questions by the nurse.
She could only explain that his fever had subsided and he was no longer in any serious condition.
The nurse on the ward couldn't help but nag while taking notes: "You're two adults, how can you still be so immature?" In view of Mu Jia's indulgence, the nurse simply scolded both of them together, "You're not much better than him."
Mu Jia had no choice but to deal with it with a smile.
After returning to the hotel, Mu Jia did not contact Xie Siyan, but returned to the room she had originally booked. She began to pack her luggage, thinking that she would not stay in Nanshi for long.
When half of the clothes were received, Xie Siyan came in from outside the door and lay down on the bed in a big letter shape, with his head resting on her pillow. He half-closed his eyes and looked at her, watching Mu Jia fold the dried clothes into the suitcase one by one.
After watching for a while, Xie Siyan realized something was wrong and raised his eyebrows. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry in his voice, "You want to leave?"
Mu Jia said "hmm" softly without further explanation, but stopped folding clothes.
Instead, she walked over and sat on the edge of the bed next to him. She raised her hand and touched his forehead to confirm that he was no longer feverish. Then she asked softly, "Does your stomach still hurt?"
After she had asked all these questions, she whispered:
"There's no need for me to stay in Nanshi anymore. Besides, I only took a few days off, so I have to go back to work." After saying that, he added hesitantly, "What about you? Do you want to take some time to go back?"
Mu Jia asked this question hesitantly.
Because she thought that he was so busy that he fell ill, and he might really be unable to get away from the project.
But unexpectedly, Xie Siyan nodded, looking very convinced, "I really need to go back."
Under Mu Jia's puzzled gaze, he smiled and twitched his lips, his expression somewhat relaxed and lazy, "I haven't reported to my parents since the official announcement of our relationship."
When Mu Jia heard his answer, he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed and no longer felt relaxed as he had just now when sitting next to him.
In fact, she has always been a little reluctant to face Xie Siyan's parents——
It’s not for any other reason, it’s just that people are always instinctively afraid of known difficulties.
She didn't know what specific plans Xie Siyan had for the future, nor did she know whether his parents would agree to their marriage.
Even if they did agree, she wasn't sure she was ready for the challenge of getting married.
Marriage has always been a distant prospect for her.
Especially after witnessing the ups and downs between Zhou Xu and Song Mingxi, she felt that marriage could not be maintained by feelings alone.
"oh."
She spoke dryly.
Xie Siyan saw that she was stunned for a long time, and when she said this, he frowned and leaned closer. In the class, a prominent face stopped in front of her and raised his eyebrows and said:
"Is that all you want to tell me?"
Mu Jia choked for a moment, and after a long while, he whispered, "Then do your best...don't get beaten."
Xie Siyan raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
——
When Mu Jia and Xie Siyan arrived in Beijing, it was a sunny winter day.
It was warm under the sun, unlike the cold winter wind when she set out for South City. Although there was still a chill in the shadows, Mu Jia didn't know if it was because of her mood change, but she always felt that the temperature had risen.
After getting off the plane, Xie Siyan naturally took Mu Jia's hand.
Mu Jia's vacation ended on this day. As soon as the flight landed, she took a taxi directly back to the company.
As the boss, Xie Siyan was naturally free to come and go. He never went to the Xie headquarters and was directly picked up by the driver and taken back to the Xie residence.
When Mu Jia returned to the company, he inevitably became the focus of everyone's attention.
China Construction Group publicly acknowledged the relationship and even released the news through official channels, making it known to almost everyone.
Mu Jia couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
Everyone was privately shocked. They originally thought that even if the "boss lady" was not Chi Wu, she would be the daughter of a famous family. They didn't expect it to be someone else. This person was with them day and night, but because the incident happened a few days ago, it was not obvious on their face. Only those who were related to them and familiar with her couldn't help but come up to them.
"Jia Jia, you and Mr. Xie...when did it start?"
Mu Jia stood still, his eyes fixed on the other person's face, which had an unclear expression. After a moment of silence, he answered truthfully:
"We've been together for two years."
"Living" together turned out to be a reconciliation. The little girl swallowed her saliva and felt that it turned out that the plot in the novel could actually happen in reality.
Mu Jia watched the other person turn around and awkwardly tidied up the loose hair on his temples.
In fact, there were very few such high-profile moments in her life, and she did not like her love affair to be watched and discussed by others - but Xie Siyan chose to make their relationship public in his own way. Now that he had announced it, she had no way to deny it. This was bound to happen sooner or later.
As a result, due to the high-profile announcement and Mu Jia's outspoken admission, within two days, it was rumored that Xie Siyan was deeply in love and had been waiting for her. Mu Jia then joined the China Construction project team and was nicknamed "Boss Lady".
