Chapter 25 I like it
In the Yuanhang conference room, Qu Tao gestured to Mu Jingyan for a seat, and after he sat down, he sat opposite him.
"Mr. Mu, are you here today to discuss something?"
In a distant and polite, official tone, Mu Jingyan held the teacup in both hands, as if he was considering his words, and finally put the teacup back on the table without taking a sip.
"Did you go to beg him the day I called? He didn't do anything to you, did he?"
It was a very straightforward question, and Qu Tao knew who the "he" he was talking about, and also understood what he meant.
The words Xi Mozhou said before hanging up the phone would indeed leave people with endless reverie.
However, this seemed to be his private matter.
Qu Tao looked at the curling white smoke rising above the teacup, thinking about how to tactfully reply to him.
Mu Jingyan stared at him and spoke again.
"Qu Tao, I know you are very anxious about Yuanhang's current situation, but you don't need to do something against your will."
Mu Jingyan took out a card, put it on the table, and pushed it to him.
"Use the money in this card first. If it's not enough, tell me and I'll find a way."
After his sudden departure at the dinner table last time and his rejection last night, he thought that a smart person like Mu Jingyan already understood what he meant.
Qu Tao glanced at the card on the table and slowly raised his eyes to him.
"What do you mean by something against your will, Mr. Mu?"
"That night you and him..."
Mu Jingyan didn't finish his words, but his meaning couldn't be more obvious. Qu Tao pushed the card on the table back.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Mu, but I did it voluntarily that night."
"Are you and him...really together?"
"Yes."
Originally, Mu Jingyan was feeling lucky and just testing, but now that Qu Tao has confirmed it himself, his calm face instantly cracked.
"Last time we met, I clearly said I could help you, why did you still commit yourself to him?"
In his raised tone, there was undisguised anger, and Qu Tao put away the polite smile on his face.
"I like it."
In terms of feelings, Qu Tao doesn't like to drag things out, but Xi Mozhou is an exception.
His first kiss, his first time, was with that man.
When Mu Jingyan left, Qu Tao didn't stand up to see him off. Since the decisive words had been spoken, there was really no need to leave any hope for the other party.
"What did Mu Jingyan tell you?"
Xi Mozhou broke into the conference room without even knocking. Qu Tao came to his senses and rolled his eyes at him.
"What are you doing here?"
Xi Mozhou glanced at the untouched tea on the table, walked over, half-sat on the table next to him, and stared at him.
"You haven't answered me yet, what did he say to you?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Qu Tao stood up from the table and prepared to leave. Xi Mozhou grabbed his arm, brought him into his arms, and lifted his chin.
"Answer me."
With burning eyes, Qu Tao stared back at him for a few seconds and opened his hand on his chin.
"Then tell me first, how did you know he was here?"
"I just ran into him downstairs."
"Oh...then why are you here?"
"Take you to the flower shop, and then have dinner together."
Just a coincidence? Qu Tao did not ask any more questions. Xi Mozhou lifted his chin again and looked him in the eye.
"It's your turn. Answer me, why did he come to you?"
"None of your business."
"What do you think?"
Xi Mozhou leaned towards him. The two were face to face, very close.
The oppressive breath came over his face. Qu Tao pushed him impatiently.
"He came to discuss investment. Is that okay?"
"Did you agree?"
"No."
Qu Tao answered and sneered at him.
"I didn't accept the investment that was offered to me. If it's as you wished, my company will go bankrupt soon. Is President Xi very happy now?"
Hearing his answer, Xi Mozhou was indeed a little happy, but the corners of his lips just raised for a few seconds, and then he thought of something and suppressed it again.
"Stay away from him in the future and don't see him again."
"You live by the sea? Why does it matter?"
"Yes, you'll come home with me tonight."
"No, if you have nothing else to do, please leave my company as soon as possible."
Shen Yichen lived next door to him, and this guy didn't worry about the fire in the backyard.
Qu Tao struggled out of his arms and walked towards the door. Xi Mozhou caught up and followed him into the office.
"It's almost noon, eat first."
"Eat here? What to eat? Eat air?"
After Qu Tao sat down at the desk, he looked at him unhappily. Xi Mozhou sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs in a relaxed manner.
"I've already called, and the maid will deliver the food here."
Seeing that he couldn't be chased away, Qu Tao didn't chase him away, but he couldn't help being curious about his lingering.
Shen Yichen came back from abroad three years ago, and now he lives next door to him, why is he still bothering him?
"Xi Mozhou, some people say that my eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Teacher Shen's, what do you think?"
"They are very similar."
Xi Mozhou looked at his eyebrows and nodded.
This pair of eyebrows appeared in his dreams more than once. It was because the eyebrows and eyes of the two were too similar that he recognized the wrong person and made a big mistake.
"After I left you yesterday, Teacher Shen didn't say anything to you?"
"No."
Xi Mozhou answered and changed his words.
"He hopes you can attend the Qiao Qian Banquet tomorrow."
Inviting his rival in love to attend the Qiao Qian Banquet, so generous?
Doesn't Shen Yichen know the relationship between him and Xi Mozhou?
"What about you, do you want me to go?"
"If I have time, it's nice to go and have fun."
Two crazy people, he doesn't mind them being together, but he does, so Qu Tao refused.
"No."
Xi Mozhou picked up the Times magazine at the bottom of the coffee table, and didn't notice the hidden anger in his words.
"It's up to you."
After dinner, Qu Tao saw that Xi Mozhou still had no intention of leaving, and started to drive him away.
"Now that the meal is over, shouldn't President Xi leave too?"
It's really inconvenient without a partition!
Xi Mozhou walked around the office and stopped in front of him.
"You come with me."
"Where to?"
"To my company."
"No."
Qu Tao refused without even asking the reason. Xi Mozhou leaned forward with his hands on the armrests on both sides of his chair.
"You want to discuss the marriage proposal here yesterday?"
From the flower shop file bag, to Mu Jingyan's visit, to Xi Mozhou later, there were frequent unexpected incidents. Qu Tao had forgotten all about it.
Now hearing Xi Mozhou bring it up again, and he seemed unwilling to give up, Qu Tao rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"The marriage information has been deleted, and I have apologized, but President Xi is still holding on to it. Aren't you too petty?"
"President Qu is right. I have been petty since I was a child, and I like to take revenge."
"Are you sick? Haven't you checked it out?"
Qu Tao pretended to be concerned. Xi Mozhou stood up and pointed to the sofa in the office.
"Are you sick? President Qu can try it."
