Chapter 208 [She is my wife.]
After returning to Beijing on the day they separated, Mu Jia never saw Xie Siyan again.
Some of it was deliberately avoided by her own...
She was instinctively afraid to face the consequences too quickly, especially afraid to hear that his parents disagreed.
The next day at work, Xie Siyan appeared at the China Construction Group project team meeting for the first time.
The two sat across the table from each other.
The employees around were all watching closely, but they couldn't hide their curiosity and inquiring eyes.
Although their relationship had already spread in the company, there was still a difference between talking about it from a distance and seeing the two people in person.
Just like now.
Xie Siyan read out the latest resolution of the project aloud. Everyone's eyes were clearly focused on him, but the corner of his eye seemed to pass by her.
Mu Jia wasn't sure if it was just a psychological effect, but he felt uncomfortable, like he was on edge.
However, both of them had experience in the workplace, so there was nothing unusual on their faces. The eyes around them were curious at first, and then gradually returned to normal.
However, Mu Jia was obviously disturbed by these gazes. He even said two wrong words when speaking and seemed extremely nervous.
The more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.
After the meeting, everyone filed out. Mu Jia was determined not to behave strangely with Xie Siyan in front of everyone today. She wanted to stand up and walk out behind her female colleague, but because she stood up too hastily, she accidentally kicked the chair.
"ah--"
Mu Jia let out a low gasp, but it was only halfway through when she forced it back into her throat.
She was full of embarrassment and was ready to leave with her head down when no one was paying attention.
The female colleague next to her had already taken the lead and was striding out. Just as she was about to catch up, Xie Siyan suddenly stood up, grabbed her wrist without any hesitation, and gently pushed her back to her seat.
Mu Jia:?
Xie Siyan half-lowered his eyes, leaned over, and his hand moved from her knee to her calf.
He patiently examined the bruises on her calves and scoffed softly, "It's bruised. Why are you always so careless?"
Mu Jia felt a tingling sensation on her skin when he touched her, and couldn't help but mutter in her heart: It's all because of you...
It would be fine if she was just an ordinary employee and he was the boss.
But the boss is her boyfriend, and Mu Jia doesn't know how to express her attitude...
It turns out that rejecting office romance does make sense.
——
Xie Siyan saw all the subtle expressions on Mu Jia's face, which showed that he treated him as a monster.
Now she was half-circled in front of him. He chuckled softly and lightly stroked her palm with his fingertips: "Don't you care about how I enter the 'struggle' when I get home? This is related to your future sexual happiness."
The hand falls in an ambiguous position.
Mu Jia seriously suspected that Xie Siyan's "happiness" was not that simple.
Her ears felt hot and she shook her head, "I don't care."
Xie Siyan deliberately dragged out the "Oh" sound, but still held her hand tightly, and his tone gradually became heavier: "You don't care, but I want to report."
He stroked her palm with his fingertips and lowered his voice a bit:
"No matter how unhappy the old man has been these past few years, his son outside is truly useless—you should have heard about this. So the family property is still yours after all."
Mu Jia was slightly startled: "Your property...how could it be mine?"
Xie Siyan raised his eyes slightly and smiled meaningfully: "Of course it's yours."
"If you help me give birth to a son, he alone will inherit the family property—doesn't that mean it's still yours?" Seeing her eyes widen, he slowly added, "It's OK to give birth to a daughter, too. I don't favor boys over girls at all."
He paused briefly, his tone becoming more playful, "But if I give birth to a daughter, I won't be able to marry Zhou Xu's son into the family."
“…”
Mu Jia was almost led astray by his thoughts and pushed him lightly: "Who said I would give birth to a child for you?"
Xie Siyan snorted and laughed, but still didn't let go.
Seeing that the topic was going further and further away, Mu Jia couldn't help but mutter in his heart: They haven't even gotten married yet, and he's already thinking about setting Zhou Xu up?
This is too outrageous.
——
I didn’t expect that as soon as I mentioned Cao Cao, he would appear.
At the end of the working day, Mu Jia met the person involved for the first time - he stormed into the China Construction Group building and pushed open the door of Xie Siyan's office.
Mu Jia had been told by Xie Siyan to go home together after get off work. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhou Xu sitting inside. He was surprised and asked subconsciously:
"Didn't Mingxi come back with you?"
Zhou Xu snorted coldly, not moving. "Why would she go back home? She must have been enjoying herself for a long time."
Mu Jia didn't know exactly what happened between the two of them.
But we can guess a thing from the atmosphere when they left Beijing. Could it be that... Song Mingxi really went out shopping with He Chen?
Before Mu Jia could ask again, Zhou Xu had already blurted out everything: "Damn! I drove after them the whole way, watching him shopping and eating with the girl named He, and even seeing them go into the couple's room at the cinema..."
"Then..." Mu Jia blurted out.
Xie Siyan followed closely behind and said calmly, "You're not coming back just like that, are you?"
Zhou Xu curled the corners of his mouth and turned his head away in dissatisfaction.
This was the first time he looked so irritated and out of control in front of Mu Jia.
"Where the hell am I supposed to find someone to accompany me to the couples' lounge? Solo people aren't allowed to buy tickets anymore, right?!"
Mu Jia really couldn't help it, and tried hard to purse the corners of his lips to restrain his smile.
Over the past two years, Xie Siyan had seen enough of the showmanship of this "loving couple". At this moment, he felt a sense of satisfaction as if he had avenged his previous shame. He even tugged at Mu Jia and nodded slightly.
Mu Jia felt a little disgusted with his appearance of watching the fun and not minding the trouble, and quickly gave him a look, signaling him not to be too obvious.
After all, she and Xie Siyan are now one, and they can't let the other party think that as friends, they are not caring but gloating.
After venting his anger at China Construction Group, Zhou Xu finally left, saying that he didn't want to disturb Xie Siyan and Mu Jia's relationship.
By the time Mu Jia and Xie Siyan came out of the China Construction Building, most of the employees had already left.
Mu Jia was originally half a step behind Xie Siyan, but he glanced at her and directly reached out to hold her hand.
"What are you hiding from?"
“I didn’t hide…”
Xie Siyan snorted lightly: "Am I someone who is not allowed to be seen in public? Even if you are eight hundred meters away from me now, no one in the company doesn't know that we are a couple."
Mu Jia was choked and speechless by his approachable adjective.
I have to admit that although his words were sharp, every word he said was true.
At this point, there is really no need to dodge anymore - now the only person in the entire China Construction Building who doesn't know about their relationship is probably the security guard at the door who still uses an old-fashioned mobile phone and may not be able to access the Internet.
“…”
What's more, Xie Siyan had previously posted that well-known photo using her Weibo account, and she can't deny it now.
Thinking of this, Mu Jia let him hold her hand and walk out.
When she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something and turned to ask him, "When was that photo you posted on my Weibo taken?"
Xie Siyan's car was parked in the square in front of the building. He did not choose the underground garage, but took her straight to the car door.
Xie Siyan got into the driver's seat, started the car, and then replied calmly, "A boy took this photo with his phone. I had my data plan turned on, and he sent it to me via AirDrop."
He did not repeat the second half of the sentence in full.
In fact, after uploading the photo, the boy asked another question: [Sir, is this your girlfriend... or your family?]
Xie Siyan's face immediately turned cold, and he said mercilessly, "She's my wife." After saying that, he raised his eyebrows lightly, "Are you interested?"
Naturally, the boy didn't dare to show any interest.
However, sometimes lovers also need to keep things secret, so Xie Siyan didn't plan to tell Mu Jia the second half.
Mu Jia felt slightly different after hearing this.
It was indeed a bit strange that a strange boy suddenly took a picture of their intimate moment.
But then she thought, maybe it was just a young man who loved photography and accidentally captured a touching scene.
Mu Jia fixed his hair and sat in the passenger seat. "Where are we going now?"
"A gathering of friends."
"Just waiting for the two of us."
