Chu Xing wanted to say something more, but Song Mai stopped him.
Looking at the woman, Song Mai understood that she had acted impulsively and caused a scene at the company because she was in a hurry.
As a wife, even if only temporarily, she could understand how a woman felt at that moment.
"It's okay. Since it's a misunderstanding, there's no need to take it seriously."
Upon hearing this, the woman felt relieved and thanked him repeatedly.
The receptionist was fired on the spot, and the other employees took this as a warning, never daring to discuss gossip about the boss during work hours again.
However, this mysterious behind-the-scenes boss inevitably aroused the curiosity of many people. Although Chu Xing tried his best to clear the scene and cover up his appearance, some sharp-eyed people still saw his true appearance.
However, since people don't usually come into contact with Chu Xing, they naturally wouldn't recognize him.
A few people whispered that the boss looked very familiar, but others quickly said it was just their imagination.
After leaving the company, Song Mai looked at Chu Xing with remorse: "I'm so sorry for causing you so much trouble."
"I'm really happy that you came to the company to see me."
Song Mai suddenly realized that Assistant Lu, who had been following behind her, was nowhere to be seen, and subconsciously asked, "Was that person your assistant?"
It was obvious that Assistant Lu was very afraid of Chu Xing.
Chu Xing's heart skipped a beat, but he nodded calmly and replied, "Actually, not really. He's my business partner, but he's not very good at the business, so he takes the initiative to assist me."
"I see. I always felt like I saw him somewhere."
Assistant Lu often makes an appearance when handling business at Yunxing, and many people have seen his face.
Because Chu Xing needed to deliberately conceal his identity, Assistant Lu also tried his best not to reveal his identity and would not appear in front of others in a ostentatious manner.
Chu Xing opened the car door and said in a low voice, "You probably encountered this when we were together."
Song Mai was convinced by these words and nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense. After all, as partners, you two will definitely meet often."
Perhaps he encountered him when Assistant Lu met with Chu Xing.
Song Mai thus dispelled her doubts and casually discussed the upcoming itinerary with Chu Xing.
"I have an important meeting this afternoon, so I can't stay with you for too long," Chu Xing said with a hint of guilt.
Yunxing has too many things to deal with, so he inevitably neglects the people around him.
This is why Chu Xing has not met anyone he likes all these years.
However, this is one of the reasons. Another reason is that Chu Xing has no concept of marriage and naturally has no expectations of love.
Song Mai finally decided to go home and cook a meal for Chu Xing.
Chu Xing looked at Song Mai, who was busy in the kitchen, and couldn't help but smile.
Realizing that she was actually feeling happy because of her, she suddenly felt extremely upset. She quickly composed herself and sat obediently to the side.
This sight surprised Song Mai, who instinctively asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Chu Xing naturally wouldn't admit that he felt happy because of her.
After the meal, Chu Xing went out to Yunxing.
Presumably, after this incident, Song Mai will not go to Langdao again for the time being.
Feeling bored at home all by herself, Song Mai decided to ask Lin Ran to go shopping together.
During this period, I have been unable to walk for extended periods due to health reasons.
Now that she has almost fully recovered, she has been itching to get back to work.
After the two met, Lin Ran jokingly said, "I thought you would never go out shopping again."
Song Mai's desire to shop wasn't particularly strong to begin with, but with the current economic prosperity and the long-term suppression, it's inevitable that she'll have the urge to go shopping.
As the two passed by a luxury store, Song Mai was suddenly drawn to the brooches displayed in the window.
This brooch is in the shape of two intertwined waves, yet it is full of power.
Song Mai only glanced at it before she was unable to move.
Lin Ran followed her gaze and immediately sensed her intention, urging, "Go in and give it a try."
Song Mai subconsciously shook her head. The brooch was indeed exquisite, but it was not something that someone of her social class could possess.
The moment she saw the brooch, Chu Xing's image flashed into her mind.
Chu Xing possessed an extraordinary bearing, with a touch of coldness between his brows, which added even more to his already handsome appearance.
If this brooch were given to Chu Xing, it would be very suitable.
With that in mind, Song Mai casually stepped into the store.
This is a luxury brand store, which Song Mai rarely stops at on ordinary days.
The moment she stepped into the store this time, a sense of fear still rose in her heart as always.
She subconsciously felt that she had never belonged to this world.
A sense of inferiority had always lingered in her mind, to the point that she dared not hold her head high.
Seeing the saleswoman looking at her curiously, Lin Ran whispered in her ear, "Although we can't always buy things from this store, we can still afford a small brooch. You are a customer of this store now, and the customer is king, so you don't need to be afraid of anyone."
These words seemed to have a magical power, giving Song Mai tremendous courage.
She pointed to a brooch beside her: "Could I take a look at that?"
The saleswoman nodded and was about to carefully remove the brooch when she was interrupted by a sharp female voice.
"She's just a vain woman. It would take her several months' salary to save up for this brooch. How could she possibly buy it?"
Yao Qianyu stood arrogantly in front of her and said with feigned pride, "Wrap this brooch up carefully, I want it now."
As the daughter of a wealthy family, she naturally has the confidence to do so.
Although Song Mai felt it was a pity, there was no need to hold a grudge against her.
She glanced at Lin Ran with a hint of regret and said softly, "Let's go somewhere else."
The two had only taken a few steps when they heard Yao Qianyu sneer, "What did I just say? She's just a penniless woman; there's no need for you to serve her."
Lin Ran couldn't stand it anymore and turned around to glare coldly at Yao Qianyu.
Song Mai is just as good-looking and has the same temperament as her.
Just because you weren't born into a wealthy family, why should you be looked down upon like this?
"You dare to glare at me like that? You really don't know what's good for you."
"It's just a brooch, do you think it's some kind of treasure? We don't want it, and you're happy to give it to us." Lin Ran crossed her arms and spoke softly, mimicking her tone.
Yao Qianyu was furious and turned to look at the saleswoman: "Wrap up everything in your store for me. This woman won't be able to take a single thing."
This exasperated look made Song Mai unable to help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
