Mu Wenxi gestured with her hands to show that she had drunk a lot of alcohol, and while gesturing, she said in a coquettish voice, "I drank so much."
Xi Changye took the wine from her side and quickly put it away: "Okay, you're not allowed to drink anymore."
Mu Wenxi looked at Xi Changye with a dazed expression, resting his chin on his hand. Xi Changye felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the burning gaze, and his ears quickly turned red, with some redness also appearing at the corners of his fox-like eyes.
Xi Changye: "Wh...what's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"
Mu Wenxi patted his head: "Aye... I feel dizzy and want to sleep."
Xi Changye stood up helplessly: "I told you to only drink a little bit, but now it seems you won't be able to drink even a little bit next time, even though you drank a lot at the bar before."
Xi Changye approached Mu Wenxi, who obediently reached out her hands for a hug, looking very cute. Xi Changye pinched her cheek, picked her up, and carried her up the stairs. Mu Wenxi snuggled against him and hugged his neck, saying, "Ah Ye, thank you for the flowers. I really like them."
Xi Changye looked tenderly at the person in his arms and said, "How about I bring it to you every day from now on?"
He put Mu Wenxi on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and was about to leave when Mu Wenxi grabbed his hand.
Xi Changye sat on the edge of the bed: "What's wrong?"
Mu Wenxi looked like she was about to cry: "Xi Changye, you're ignoring me."
Xi Changye: "How have I ignored you?"
Mu Wenxi: "Back in high school, you wouldn't answer me when I called you."
Xi Changye's fox-like eyes widened for a moment: "So you didn't run away with someone else either."
Mu Wenxi stared at him blankly: "You hold a grudge."
Xi Changye gently pinched her nose: "Who brought this up first? Alright, go to sleep."
Mu Wenxi obediently closed her eyes, and Xi Changye planted a kiss on her forehead. Mu Wenxi suddenly opened her eyes again, her gaze clear as if she hadn't been drunk: "Xi Changye, you saved me, didn't you?"
Xi Changye patted her to lull her to sleep, saying, "It's me."
Mu Wenxi pouted as if she was about to cry: "You didn't tell me, why didn't you tell me?"
Xi Changye: "You must resent me now, but I won't do it again." Xi Changye was also filled with regret, but he was no longer the person who would always back down and never fight for what he wanted. He now had the power to protect the people he wanted to protect.
Back in his room, Xi Changye sat quietly by himself. Suddenly, he took out an old graduation photo and started looking at it. The cigarette in his hand flickered in the darkness. After a while, his voice rang out, somewhat hoarse and androgynous: "We can start now."
"yes".
Xi Changye stroked the photo: "Xi Xi, we didn't have a future before, but we definitely will in the future."
When Mu Wenxi woke up, she found that she was a little confused about what happened the night before. She only remembered that she seemed to have drunk some alcohol and then fell asleep. She hurriedly got up to go to work and found that Xi Changye was no longer at home. There was only a note left on the table. It seemed that he had gone out early in the morning to take care of his own business.
Mu Wenxi stepped out of the room, where the butler was waiting: "Madam, would you like a car? We'll arrange a driver for you."
Mu Wenxi: "No need, I can go by myself."
She arrived at the company just in time, and her secretary brought her the schedule.
"President, we have a business collaboration to discuss this afternoon."
"Okay, I understand. You can go now. Thank you for your hard work."
In the afternoon, Mu Wenxi took a car to the company where she needed to discuss cooperation, only to find an old acquaintance in the company's team: Jiang Ningyuan.
Since their farewell at the restaurant, Mu Wenxi had not contacted Jiang Ningyuan again, and the other party had not bothered her either. Mu Wenxi pretended not to know him to avoid awkwardness between them, while Jiang Ningyuan was somewhat stunned.
Even though there was an old acquaintance involved, Mu Wenxi's business skills were outstanding, and the company's cooperation negotiations went very smoothly. Near the end, Mu Wenxi received a message from Xi Changye.
Xi Changye: "Xixi, are you almost done on your end? I'll come pick you up later."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay."
Just as Mu Wenxi was about to leave in the elevator after the two parties finished discussing the cooperation, Jiang Ningyuan stopped her.
Jiang Ningyuan: "Wen Xi, I never expected to meet you here."
Mu Wenxi: "Coincidence."
Jiang Ningyuan: "How have you been lately?"
Mu Wenxi: "It's fine."
Jiang Ningyuan: "Is he good to you?"
Mu Wenxi: "Very good."
Jiang Ningyuan: "That's good."
As the elevator reached the first floor, Mu Wenxi hurriedly walked out the door. Xi Changye should have been waiting outside, but Jiang Ningyuan also followed her out. This scene was witnessed by Xi Changye, who was parking his car not far away.
Mu Wenxi walked towards Xi Changye's car, and the other person got out and opened the door for Mu Wenxi: "Why is Jiang Ningyuan here too?"
Mu Wenxi: "I don't know. It seems to be someone from a partner company. We just ran into them. Don't overthink it."
Xi Changye: "Hmm, I didn't think much of it. What did he just say to you?"
Mu Wenxi: "I didn't say anything, just greeted them."
Xi Changye: "Oh."
Mu Wenxi looked at him and said, "You're not jealous, are you?"
Xi Changye: "Yeah, I am jealous."
Mu Wenxi suddenly laughed: "Then this is aged vinegar that's been around for many years."
Seeing her arrogant smile, Xi Changye leaned over and kissed her. Mu Wenxi was caught off guard, pulled and kissed, and didn't react for a moment. She only felt something warm on her lips.
Xi Changye even bit her domineeringly and whispered, "I'm jealous."
Mu Wenxi's cheeks flushed red as she gripped the seatbelt in front of her, somewhat at a loss: "What are you doing?"
Xi Changye: "Kiss you."
Mu Wenxi covered her face in embarrassment. "Help! How can Xi Changye, this devil, be so bewitching?"
Jiang Ningyuan saw the two kissing through the car window and suddenly remembered what Xi Changye had said back then: "What's mine will never be taken away from me."
He turned and left, this time as a complete farewell, no more entanglement. Letting go might be a good choice and a new life could begin.
On Saturday, Mu Wenxi finally had a day off, but was woken up early by Xi Changye to go to the amusement park. Mu Wenxi was a little speechless: "It's so early, Aye, can't you let me sleep?"
Xi Changye saw Mu Wenxi curled up in a ball and pulled back her blanket: "Sweetie, shall I take you to play?"
Mu Wenxi: "Waaah, where are we going? I don't want to go, I want to sleep."
Xi Changye: "Didn't you want to go to the amusement park?"
Mu Wenxi poked his head out from under the covers: "When did I say I wanted to go to an amusement park?"
Xi Changye: "Then think about it."
Mu Wenxi stared at Xi Changye's handsome face, trying hard to recall, and finally found it in the deepest part of her memory.
Once during high school, she pestered Xi Changye to go to the amusement park with her, but Xi Changye never had time, which made Mu Wenxi very angry.
