It was more than an hour later when Yang Shushu came back. Mu Shicang had been looking for her these past few days and had not slept much. Now he relaxed and fell asleep.
His sleeping posture surprised Yang Shushu a little. They had lived in the same room before, and he usually woke up earlier than her. She had never even seen his sleeping posture or face.
I didn't expect that Master Xiao Mu, who was so frightening when he was awake and made the elders of the family extremely afraid of him, would sleep like an insecure child, holding something tightly in his arms.
He was lying on his side, holding a stuffed crocodile doll on her bed in his arms. The quilt only covered him below his waist. It seemed that he fell asleep shortly after she left and didn't even have time to take off his shoes.
Yang Shushu shook her head, took off her shoes, pushed herself onto the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and climbed onto the bed herself. However, she couldn't fall asleep for a moment. Thinking back to what her parents had just told her, she always felt that there was some reason that she didn't know.
But her father just said to her: "You can tell Mr. Ji directly that our factory is small and the quality cannot meet the requirements of such a high-end restaurant. So after thinking about it, your mother and I have decided not to continue the cooperation."
Yang Shushu had eaten the tofu produced by their own tofu factory. To be honest, it was really good, much more delicious than the soy products she had eaten before. Even when chatting with her father, he was quite confident in his craftsmanship. But why did he suddenly reject such a big and high-quality customer?
She couldn't figure it out, but her parents were firm in their attitude, so she could only go along with them.
Yang Shushu tossed and turned, not knowing when she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already daybreak. Mu Shicang had already woken up and was holding her while looking at his phone. She checked the time on his phone and was stunned for a moment: "Ah, it's time to go to work."
Mu Shicang hugged her back and said, "What kind of work? I've already told Ji Delu that you've resigned."
Although she originally wanted to resign, she was still unhappy because he made the decision without asking her. Now Mu Shicang was like her temper detector, and he could sense her mood changes in the blink of an eye.
So, I quickly explained, "You didn't plan to continue there anyway, and Mr. Liu's job doesn't absolutely require you. Why waste your time? I'm not stopping you from working. If you like, you can come to Muyuan or even open your own design company."
Seeing him explain carefully, Yang Shushu couldn't get angry anymore. After all, who had ever seen Xiao Muye so cautious?
"Forget it, let's talk about it later." She sat up from his arms, and when she saw the little crocodile thrown aside, she couldn't help but laugh mischievously.
"By the way, I just found out today that Little Muye needs to hold something when he sleeps. It looks so cute."
Perhaps only Mrs. Xiaomu can describe Mr. Xiaomu as cute.
Mu Shicang was shameless. He grabbed the little crocodile and swung it around in his hands: "My wife is not here, so I have nothing to hold. I'll just find something to replace it."
Yang Shushu smiled, but her eyes softened: "I can lend it to you to hold for a while at night, but you can't do anything else."
He seemed to understand what she meant, his smile deepening into a gentle one. He stretched out his arms and held her tightly in his embrace. "When I was a child, I suffered from insomnia for a long time, especially in the white house. My parents had just passed away at that time, and my grandfather originally wanted me to sleep with him, but he wanted to remember the last breath left by my parents, so he insisted on sleeping alone in the white house. But every night I had dreams. In my dreams, there were beautiful memories of living with my parents, the tragic situation when my parents left, and more often than not, nightmares. During that time, I was so thin that I was almost skin and bones. In the end, my grandfather couldn't stand it anymore and took me away. Since then, I have felt very insecure when I sleep, and I often need to hold something, so I almost never let anyone see me when I really sleep."
Yang Shushu put her ear to his chest. The frequency there made people feel at ease, but it seemed as if she could convey the sadness and regret in it.
At this moment, comfort seemed pale. Yang Shushu just smiled and said, "So you were just pretending to sleep with me when you slept in the same room with me before?"
"No, the first time I slept with you in the white house after we got married, it was a rare time for me to sleep well. But there was nothing at hand for me to hug." As he said this, he hugged her tightly again.
At this time, Yang's mother knocked on the door: "Shushu, Shi Cang is here for breakfast."
Yang Shushu replied to the door: "Right away."
As she said that, she struggled out of his arms and kicked him: "Eat, you still have to go to work."
……………………
Although Mu Shicang had resigned for her, Yang Shushu felt it was necessary to come forward in person and explain things clearly. In addition to what her parents had told her, after seeing Mu Shicang off, she came to Ji He alone.
When she returned to the design department, her colleagues noticed that her attitude had changed completely. It seemed that Ji Delu had not yet told everyone about her resignation.
She didn't plan to say goodbye to everyone, firstly because she hadn't even stayed here for a week, and secondly, she was a narrow-minded person, and the attitude of these people when she first came made her very uncomfortable. She just called Zheng Zhen out, said goodbye to him, and went upstairs to see Ji Delu.
But Ji Delu was in a meeting at that time, so she could only wait for her in the meeting room. Not long after, another person came into the meeting room. She looked up at the other person and was stunned for a moment.
The other person was also stunned when he saw her, and then he walked over to her and followed her, smiling gently: "What a coincidence, Shushu."
The moment she saw Ling Xiao, Yang Shushu was also quite surprised. She didn't expect that they would meet here.
"Yes, what a coincidence." Her attitude was cold and distant, and it was obvious that she didn't want to talk more with him.
Ling Xiao looked at her with a look of longing in his eyes. He himself didn't understand why he couldn't let go even though he never forced anything on anyone.
"Our company has a product that we are collaborating with President Ji." He was a little embarrassed. Although he was not a very talkative person, he was not tongue-tied and awkward when communicating with others. But now he was clearly making small talk.
Yang Shushu smiled and nodded: "Yeah."
Afterward, the two of them fell silent. Ling Xiao thought for a long time before finding another topic: "The news about you and Zuo Jinpeng that came out a few days ago didn't affect you at all, did it?"
Zuo Jinheng's side also didn't want the matter to be reported, so the Zuo family directly stepped in to suppress the media. Moreover, the media only knew that Zuo Jinheng had been missing for two days, and didn't know the details, let alone that she was involved. Therefore, Ling Xiao didn't know what happened to her the day before yesterday.
She didn't intend to tell him, so she shook her head perfunctorily and said, "Well, it doesn't have much of an impact. There haven't been many reports these days. Fans, after venting their anger, it's over."
Ling Xiao nodded, seemingly having nothing to say. After a long while, he asked again, "So, what is your job here..."
"Ah, I came here today to talk to President Ji about this. I may not be suitable for this job, so I want to resign."
