Chapter 38 How do you want me to accompany you...?
The street lights come on one after another.
After dinner, Mu's father waved his hand and sent everyone away: "You young people should go out more and buy some New Year's goods for the family."
That being said.
There was a smile in his eyes, clearly wanting to create some space for the two of them to be alone.
Mu Jia wrapped her scarf tightly and obediently followed Lin Nuo out of the house.
The street shops are decorated with lights and colorful decorations.
The festive atmosphere is strong.
Suddenly, the phone in my bag vibrated twice in succession, which was particularly noticeable in the quiet winter night.
"Senior, you have news."
Lin Nuo reminded in a gentle voice.
Mu Jia's fingertips stiffened slightly, and he was a little slow in taking out his phone.
The moment the screen lit up, the three words "Xie Siyan" flashed across her eyes like a meteor. She quickly locked the screen, her throat tightening, and looked into Lin Nuo's eyes:
“Spam.”
She recalled the content of the text message in her mind:
I've arrived in Wuzhou.
…
“I’ve been receiving a lot of sales messages lately.”
Lin Nuo had no doubts.
The two of them strolled along the commercial street filled with red lanterns, but Mu Jia felt the phone in his arms getting hotter.
Not long after, the bell rang again.
"Do you want to answer it?"
Lin Nuo glanced sideways.
Mu Jia forced a smile. As his finger pressed the answer button, a familiar voice came from the receiver:
"Didn't you see my message?"
He asked very frankly, as if the two of them had a relationship where everything needed to be explained.
Mu Jia caught a glimpse of Lin Nuo's profile from the corner of his eye and could only respond vaguely, "Yeah."
"I'm at Wuzhou Airport Terminal 2."
Xie Siyan's voice was filled with the chill of winter.
Perhaps because he had been in a high position for so long, he didn't even realize it, but his tone was full of strength and urgency:
"You can come over now."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Mu Jia was a little stunned.
Unable to receive sudden messages in a short period of time:
He came to Wuzhou... on a business trip?
It was just as difficult to convince her that Xie Siyan didn't go home for the New Year to work on a small project in Wuzhou as it was to convince her that Xie Siyan braved the snow to come to see her.
…Mu Jia stood there stiffly.
He even ignored Lin Nuo who was standing beside him.
"Is there something?" Lin Nuo asked considerately. He glanced at his watch and said, "It's too late today. I'd better go back first."
Before they knew it, they had already walked to the downstairs of Lin Nuo's hotel. They were just out for a stroll, so Lin Nuo waved to her and, seeing that she didn't object, turned and went into the hotel.
——
The cold wind once again blew up the unmelted snow on the street corners.
This winter seems to be colder than previous years.
Mu Jia held the phone, but it felt like he was holding a hot potato, and even his cheeks began to feel hot.
She hesitated at the street corner.
The inner struggle:
On the one hand, she knew that since Xie Siyan was able to come, he would definitely not give up until he saw her; on the other hand, she brought Lin Nuo here this time specifically to meet her parents...
She really couldn't...
Mu Jia hesitated for more than ten minutes until the shops on the roadside began to close.
She gritted her teeth, turned off the phone, turned around, hailed a taxi, and went home.
——
Tonight is really hard.
Mu Jia lay on the bed in the bedroom, tossing and turning.
The phone was like a brick, lying coldly on the bedside table, with a black screen.
Mu Jia imagined the scene of him being angry when they met again. His voice echoed in his ears again and again...
"no."
Mu Jia turned over, found the charger and turned on his phone.
The communication column was empty except for two missed calls.
——He didn’t text me again.
Mu Jia covered his chest and put his phone back on the bedside table.
"Jiajia," her mother called downstairs, holding onto the stairs, "What are you doing? It's already late, and you're still not sleeping."
"Just went to sleep."
Mu Jia returned.
She lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling for a while before she felt sleepy.
The next morning, Lin Nuo came again.
He came with great enthusiasm, and his father was also happy. Mu Jia watched the two of them, one old and one young, go upstairs together to play Go.
"You kid, you've learned these things."
"I learned a little bit at school..."
Watching this joyful scene, Mu Jia once again cursed herself for her hesitation last night. She would be 25 after the new year, and the first thing she should do was to reassure her parents. Marriage was what her parents had always hoped for; they wanted her to marry a good man...
Before she could think more.
The phone vibrated, and Mu Jia subconsciously pressed the answer button. By the time he realized who was calling, it was too late.
"Hello."
"Mu Jia, come down," Xie Siyan's voice was still hoarse from the early morning, "I'm downstairs at your house."
Downstairs???
Mu Jia was shocked. She held the phone, her lips trembling, and it took a long time for her to find her voice:
"Xie Siyan, you...go back. I'm busy."
Xie Siyan is a man with a lot of experience in the business world, so he naturally wouldn't waste time talking to her.
He said directly, "Come out. Or... I can knock on the door."
His voice was soft, with a touch of gold and jade, but the threat was too obvious.
Mu Jia cursed "bastard" in his heart.
Mu Zhisheng, Chen Lifang, and even Lin Nuo are at home today. He is sure to have him in his arms.
Mu Jia looked around and confirmed that his father Mu and Lin Nuo were still upstairs, and Chen Lifang was busy preparing New Year's goods in the kitchen. Then he put on his scarf and sneaked out.
She walked outside and opened the door.
There was a car with a Beijing A license plate parked on the street downstairs.
Mu Jia had heard before that when wealthy people go on business trips or travel, they sometimes find cargo planes to fly their familiar cars to their destination, just for...
Get used to it.
Now Mu Jia has also seen it.
She walked over.
"Xie Siyan, don't touch my parents."
Xie Siyan got out of the car and loosened his collar irritably. His composure disappeared when he heard her words:
"In your eyes, am I a gangster?"
Isn’t it.
He may have a little more power than the underworld.
It is said that the underworld is actually praising him.
"Mu Jia, you've been hiding from me for so long, just because she asked you to accompany her to buy baby products..."
Xie Siyan suddenly lowered his voice and closed the distance between them. He put his hand on her waist and flirted with her on the streets of Wuzhou as if no one was around.
Xie Siyan's eyes were deep, and Mu Jia had noticed that in the past, but never as much as now. The two of them lived downstairs in their family compound, and during the Lunar New Year period, familiar neighbors might pass by at any time.
The distance between the two of them was very close to the ground, which gave them a sense of excitement.
Like an affair.
He knew...
This reality echoed in Mu Jia's mind.
but.
"Why are you angry with a pregnant woman?" Xie Siyan frowned again and looked down at her in confusion.
really.
Mu Jia took a step back, broke free from his hand, and condemned herself for the slight emotion she had just shown.
She should have known.
From the day Zhou Xu called her, he first advised her not to get hard on Bai Yirou, and then advised her not to reject his good friend Xie Siyan...
The upper class was very thorough in their work, and he had made plans for both of his friends.
The only one who needs to be sacrificed here is her, Mu Jia.
This is just a minor entanglement.
With their ruthless nature, if anything big happens in the future, they will only target her.
Nothing happened to them and they continued to enjoy their peaceful life.
——
Mu Jia turned around and said coldly, "It has nothing to do with this. Xie Siyan, she is a big client of our company... I am willing to accompany her."
Xie Siyan's eyes were filled with confusion. After a while, he asked coldly from behind her, "Why don't you accompany me?"
He said, "I'm also a top client of your organization, holding key resources. If you want to say... I can also stop your job at any time."
Mu Jia's eyes turned red and she turned to look at him.
Surprised at his shamelessness.
She asked blankly, "How do you want me to accompany you...?"
