Chapter 48, 48th Beam of Light: "I Only Love You."
Song Xingyun, who was just getting out of bed, was so shocked by her words that she fell back down. She even began to suspect that Wen Ying was secretly practicing divination behind her back.
How can you be so accurate about everything?
"hiss......"
"What's wrong?" Wen Ying's whimsical thoughts were interrupted by the commotion on Song Xingyun's end, and she sounded worried.
Song Xingyun sat up again, rubbing her hair. Her head drooped limply. Her temples still ached from the hangover, but she dared not tell Wen Ying that she had gotten drunk again last night. Wen Ying would definitely pry a lot of ridiculous things out of her. "No."
Wen Ying felt relieved when she heard that her tone had returned to normal. "So what do you think of my suggestion?"
Song Xingyun was still rubbing her head when she asked, "What suggestion?"
Wen Ying clicked her tongue. "Going on a blind date with Boss Yu!"
Song Xingyun hadn't expected the topic to continue, and quickly refused, "Impossible! That's my boss!"
She looked like she was about to cry but had no tears, but she was also glad that Yu Mushang had left her room long ago, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to lie to him.
They're really going to go on a blind date.
Wen Ying sighed regretfully, "Alright then." She couldn't very well force the two of them to go on a blind date together.
Wen Ying chatted with Song Xingyun for a couple more minutes. Before hanging up, she still had the desire to play matchmaker, saying, "If you change your mind, remember to tell me, and I'll take care of arranging everything for you!"
Song Xingyun: ......
If Wen Ying were there, she would have seen the person who hung up the phone so quickly that he almost scratched his head bald, muttering, "It's over, it's over."
*
In the past, Song Xingyun only thought that living in Villa No. 9 was convenient for commuting, but now that she had such an embarrassing incident with Yu Mushang, the constant running into each other and having nowhere to hide has given her a headache.
Sure enough, while Song Xingyun was feeding her longevity and hundred-year-old babies, she ran into her own boss again.
"Hello, boss."
Yu Mushang sensed the caution and restraint in her tone. "Assistant Song wasn't this timid last night."
He really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics!
Song Xingyun groaned inwardly, "Hehe, boss is joking."
She quickly passed by him, ran back to her office area, turned on her computer, and tried to numb herself with work.
Hearing the footsteps, Yu Mushang raised an eyebrow and turned to follow without hesitation.
As soon as Song Xingyun turned on her computer, an email notification popped up in the lower right corner of her automatically logged-in email account.
"report......"
Her fingers trembled slightly when she saw the email title.
Is this a response to her complaint letter from a month ago?
Song Xingyun's heart inexplicably jumped, and she moved the mouse over that spot and clicked.
After glancing at the results, she slumped back in her chair.
The words "insufficient evidence" on the computer screen stung her eyes. She chuckled coldly and muttered, "I knew this would be the result, didn't I?"
She disagreed with the reason for the rejection of the report. She pressed her temples and felt powerless. Could it be that the arm really couldn't twist the thigh?
As soon as Yu Mushang approached, he heard her let out a long sigh and couldn't help but clear his throat twice. "Why are you sighing?"
Song Xingyun turned around when she heard the voice. She didn't expect Yu Mushang to come over. Did he come with her?
Her silence made the man suspicious and wonder, "What does this have to do with me?" He could only think of last night.
He really couldn't do anything about her.
Song Xingyun didn't know why he would think that way, so she cheered herself up and explained, "No, it's just some unpleasant things that happened at my previous company."
Former company?
Yu Mushang recalled Ying Qi's previous report to him about the reason why Song Xingyun left her previous company. Could it be...?
This time, Yu Mushang remained silent for a long time, which annoyed Song Xingyun. Looking at the person who had been silently helping her standing behind her, she couldn't help but feel a little wronged, and that's when she started talking.
Yu Mushang stood quietly and listened.
He was both angry at what she had gone through and surprised that she was willing to share it with him.
Song Xingyun hadn't expected to chatter on and on with Yu Mushang for over ten minutes. Her mouth was dry, but her mood had improved considerably. Looking at the person who had been standing for a while, she asked, "Boss, would you like to sit down?"
Yu Mushang noticed that her tone had improved considerably. "So you finally remembered to let me sit down?"
He teased her, trying to completely distract her from her emotions.
And it was a success.
Song Xingyun hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry..."
Yu Mushang hadn't expected the transfer to go in the wrong direction, and his breath hitched. "Send a copy of your materials to Ying Qi and let him handle it. There is still fairness in this world." He would help her find fairness again.
Song Xingyun was stunned for a second, and then she saw that the man had already turned around and left, leaving only a reassuring back view.
She was stunned, and when she came to her senses, she swallowed hard. "So handsome."
"Slap, slap," was the sound of her slapping her own face. "Wake up!"
She curled up again in her work chair, feeling conflicted. "Should I have told him? It seems like I've just caused him more trouble. He's already helped me so much; how can I ever repay him...?"
While Song Xingyun was lost in thought, her phone beeped with a message notification. She reached out and picked it up to see the message.
Yingqi: Send it to me.
Song Xingyun glanced back at the direction of Yu Mushang's office. "He's really efficient." A warm feeling welled up inside her.
After speaking with Ying Qi, she pressed the speakerphone button and thanked him. Yu Mushang, seemingly out of nowhere, appeared beside her again. "All done?"
Upon hearing this, Song Xingyun jumped up from her chair. "B-boss." She glanced at the file that had been received on the computer screen. "Um, thank you."
Yu Mushang retorted, "When did you notice I have a stutter?"
Song Xingyun was speechless and choked up. "N-nothing." Still stammering, she gently pinched her lips, glanced at the time of day (lunchtime), and quickly changed the subject, "Boss, what would you like to eat?"
Thankfully, I didn't stutter this sentence.
I thought Yu Mushang would order the food, but this time he directly ordered the restaurant, "Let's go to Liuxi Courtyard."
He finished speaking and, without giving Song Xingyun time to react, turned and walked towards the gate.
Song Xingyun snapped out of her daze and quickly followed.
The taxi was unusually quiet.
Song Xingyun was replying to Wen Ying's message. Initially, Wen Ying had a "life dilemma" at lunchtime: "What should I eat for lunch? Tell me so I can give you some suggestions."
Song Xingyun: "Liuxi Courtyard..."
Wen Ying replied quickly, "With Boss Yu? You told him you wanted to eat here?" Wen Ying said this because Song Xingyun had been saying lately that she wanted to find time to try this newly opened Jiangnan restaurant.
So when Yu Mushang "suggested" it, she also felt it was a coincidence.
Little did she know that the man overheard her muttering to herself in the sunroom and took it to heart.
Song Xingyun was unsure whether to tell the truth or lie. If she said it wasn't her, Wen Ying's gossipy nature would surely take flight.
Just then, Yu Mushang suddenly interrupted her reply, "Are you still handing over materials with Ying Qi?"
Song Xingyun turned her head and exclaimed, "Huh?" Then she glanced at the phone in her hand, wondering if the sound of her typing on the keyboard was too loud.
"No, Wen Ying asked me what I wanted for lunch..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mushang thought of Wen Ying's personality and pursed his lips, "Is she coming too?"
Song Xingyun waved her hands repeatedly, "No, she was just asking casually."
Yu Mushang gave a faint "hmm," and Song Xingyun watched him quietly, the question lingering in her mind. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Boss, do you also like Jiangnan cuisine?"
Otherwise, why would he be interested in Liuxi Courtyard?
Unexpectedly, Yu Mushang's answer was, "So-so."
Song Xingyun parted her lips slightly, "Oh, is that so? Then..." Before she could finish her question, the man interrupted, "Didn't you want to eat?"
"Huh?" Song Xingyun thought she had misheard.
Yu Mushang turned to face her and said, "I said, didn't you want to eat at this restaurant?"
He did it because she wanted to eat it...
Song Xingyun's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. "Ah, but how did you know...?"
Yu Mushang also said frankly, "When you were talking to Changming in the sunroom, I could almost hear you drooling."
Song Xingyun: ?
Her face flushed red instantly. She then remembered that she had indeed exaggeratedly made a "slurp" sound, which Yu Mushang had heard.
"Boss, why are you eavesdropping?"
Yu Mushang looked puzzled. "I just happened to be there, so it shouldn't count as eavesdropping." Judging from her tone, "What? Are you shy?"
Song Xingyun's eyes widened. "No, it's just... it's just that no one says girls drool or anything like that, it's so embarrassing..." She spoke softer and softer.
But Yu Mushang heard it clearly.
Instead of responding with a curt "oh" or "um" as usual, he let out a soft chuckle and said, "Sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
Song Xingyun: ?
Sorry? In the future? Please be careful?
Is this world getting more and more surreal? Why is the icy boss apologizing to her again?
Song Xingyun hadn't thought of the point yet, and only said, "Boss, do you always spoil your employees like this? No wonder Ying Qi is so loyal."
Ying Qi, who was far away at the old house, sneezed loudly.
Yu Mushang shook his head. "No."
Just then, the car stopped in front of Liuxi Courtyard. After the driver reminded him, he opened the car door, and Song Xingyun heard his next words from beside him: "Is this considered spoiling? Then I only spoiled you."
While Song Xingyun was processing those words, the driver reminded her, "Miss, stop daydreaming. The man has left. He said he only dotes on you!"
As soon as the driver finished speaking, Song Xingyun, her face flushed and laughing awkwardly, quickly got off the bus.
Does she seem to have hearing problems? Huh? Why did I have to remind her again?
As she closed the car door, she heard the driver chuckle, "No wonder my daughter says that dating is more interesting when you see other people dating."
Song Xingyun: ......
in love?
When she stopped next to Yu Mushang, he had already been waiting for her for quite a while. "You didn't get out of the car for so long, I thought you had run away."
Song Xingyun's ears were still red. "I... I didn't need to run away!" It was just a vague sentence.
Yu Mushang grunted in agreement. "Then why aren't we leaving?"
With his long legs, he took two steps while Song Xingyun took four. "Hey, in such a hurry, boss, are you hungry?" She suspected that he had misspoke earlier because he was too hungry to speak properly.
Yu Mushang stopped and turned to wait for her. Song Xingyun bumped right into his arms, and her waist was supported by the man's large hand. "I'm not hungry."
Song Xingyun rubbed her nose, which was sore from the bump, and said, "Then why did you walk so fast?"
When she noticed the warmth of his large hand seeping through her clothes at her waist, he lowered his head slightly without her noticing, and his reply echoed in her ears: "I'll spoil you."
"I'm afraid you'll get hungry."
