Chapter 60 [Missed me? ]
Inside the car.
Everything was silent, and Mu Jia covered Xie Siyan's mouth tightly.
She huddled up and pressed herself against his chest.
After making sure that the footsteps were really far away, she slowly removed her hand from his cheek.
A red finger mark was left on the man's cold white skin. Seeing it, Mu Jia whispered "sorry" and tried to get off him.
Xie Siyan reached out and clasped her calf, looking down at him with a deep gaze, "You're so afraid of him seeing you, are you planning to do this secretly with me from now on?"
"You're willing to hide your secrets?"
In his impression, women attach great importance to status.
Mu Jia still hadn't recovered from the shock. Being held like this, with him riding on top, was just like the startling sight of Liu Heng and that woman in the box...
"No……"
"Don't want to sneak in?"
"No, I haven't thought about it yet." Mu Jia bit her lip.
Xie Siyan sorted out her clothes for a while, but his hand fell on her exposed shoulder strap and pulled it off. "He will know sooner or later."
"I'm not in a relationship, and I'm hiding my hobbies from my brother-in-law."
…
Mu Jia's heart was hanging in the air.
She understood what he meant, he wanted to be honest.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the underground garage was very quiet and no one had come in for a long time.
After Cheng Yu'an left, the two of them tossed and turned in the car for a while. When it was all over, everything was gone, Mu Jia leaned against Xie Siyan's chest like a boneless person, her hair sticking to her face.
——
When Cheng Yu'an found Zhou Xu, he was just coming out of the men's restroom in the underground parking lot. His leather shoes made a crisp sound on the concrete floor.
"You didn't bring your cell phone? I called you several times." Cheng Yu'an's voice sounded slightly displeased.
Zhou Xu took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and saw a row of missed calls.
"It's on mute. Sorry."
Cheng Yuan took the car keys in his hand and walked towards his car first. "You asked me to pick you up because you said you had something to do. What is it?"
There was something businesslike in his tone.
"During the Peking University anniversary celebration, Kong Qingshan wanted to find an outstanding alumnus to give a speech..." Zhou Xu remembered this incident clearly.
"Si Yan can't get away?"
"Yeah." Zhou Xu's answer was slightly hesitant.
Cheng Yu'an suddenly remembered the scene he had just seen at the corner of the parking lot, and his fingertips paused slightly: "Is he... here too today?"
The words dropped like a stone into the water.
Zhou Xu's heart skipped a beat, his Adam's apple rolling unconsciously. He had calculated the time difference and went to the underground garage early. Could it be...
"He was in the car just now," Cheng Yu'an's voice deepened, "with a woman, in the car with the A8 license plate..."
A woman.
That's why I didn't see who it was.
Zhou Xu shook his head. "I don't know. The only two women in the box today are Xing Sisi and Ji Ruqing."
Ji Ruqing and Cheng Yuan know each other.
We all grew up together in the former compound.
Xing Sisi...
Cheng Yu'an frowned, "That beauty from the Nanjing Art Institute?"
"Hmm," Zhou Xu raised his eyebrows proudly, a boastful smile on his lips as he self-consciously adjusted the collar of his shirt. "I've been pursuing her for two whole months, bringing her breakfast and practicing piano with her every day. I finally finally agreed to get together with her." He paused, his tone filled with undisguised excitement. "So, how's that? Impressive, isn't it?"
Cheng Yuan, “…”
Cheng Yu'an's doubts were easily dispelled by Zhou Xu's jokes. When he got home, he sent a message to Xie Siyan.
"You have me to thank."
"What?"
"I sacrificed my own reputation to cover for you and Xiao Jiajia."
There was silence for a moment, then the question was asked, "What did you sacrifice?"
Zhou Xu recounted the entire situation to him, then said, "I didn't even bring breakfast or accompany her for piano practice. Why would I, Young Master Zhou, do that when I'm pursuing someone?"
Xie Siyan commented in a gloomy tone, "You are really good then."
——
End of the month.
The auditorium of Peking University's centennial celebration was brightly lit. Cheng Yu'an, an outstanding alumnus of the School of Finance, sat in the front row with other special guests.
He was wearing a neatly tailored black suit, which made him look calm and composed, and he wore a badge on his chest.
Young students around him would occasionally cast admiring glances and whisper about this legendary senior who was in charge of an investment company before the age of 30.
"That's Cheng Yu'an? He looks even younger than in the photo."
"I heard that several financial investment projects he led have become classic cases in the industry..."
Mu Jia was dragged by his roommate Song Mingxi to sit in the back row, and was flipping through the school anniversary brochure boredly.
Suddenly, Cheng Yu'an left his seat and walked towards the stage, ready to speak, causing a small commotion.
"Your predecessor is indeed a capable person when it comes to running his business." Song Mingxi commented objectively.
Mu Jia hummed and continued flipping through the school anniversary brochure in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.
"It's a pity that Xie Siyan couldn't come today, otherwise we would have compared our skills to see who is more popular with the girls."
Song Mingxi pondered and suddenly said, "Let me interview you. Do you still have feelings for this ex?"
"Who?" Mu Jia raised his head.
"Cheng Yu'an."
Mu Jia looked at her for a while, closed the school anniversary brochure, and said seriously, "I don't have any feelings for married men."
"oh."
Song Mingxi realized that she had asked a stupid question, so she changed the question, "Do you still hate him?"
Mu Jia looked at him like a fool.
"Didn't you say that if you hate someone, it means you haven't let go."
Song Mingxi scratched her head. "Forget it, I won't beat around the bush." She asked directly, "Did Xie Siyan heal your emotional wounds? I feel like you've been in high spirits lately."
Mu Jia touched his cheek.
Does she have it?
She's been doing pretty well lately. Not only is her relationship going well, but since Tengzhi got married, she's resigned from KIC, leaving her direct supervisor position vacant. The company has promoted everyone in her group and given them a raise.
Before Mu Jia could respond to Song Mingxi, Cheng Yu'an finished his speech and walked down the stage to thunderous applause. He exchanged greetings with the previous alumnus who had given a speech, then stood up and walked straight to the back row.
"Mujia?"
Cheng Yu'an stood in front of Mu Jia with a gentle smile on his face.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Mu Jia couldn't remain silent, so he stood up and started talking to him. The familiar conversation between the two of them attracted the attention of everyone around them. Song Mingxi was also among the onlookers, looking up from time to time at this and that person.
Mu Jia looked at him strangely, "I remember you don't like to participate in this kind of activities."
Cheng Yu'an nodded, "Yes. I heard that Si Yan couldn't come because of something, so Zhou Xu came to see me."
Mu Jia said "Oh" in understanding. After the two finished their conversation, she sent a message to Xie Siyan, "Are you busy today?"
The other side replied immediately, [Missed me? ]
Mu Jia replied with a string of ellipsis.
She said truthfully, "I ran into Cheng Yu'an in the Peking University Alumni Association auditorium. He said you were busy today, so he was here to give the speech in your place."
