Mo Xuan was taken aback by his question, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Do I need a reason to be nice to you?"
Xiao Xin: "Yes."
"If I had to give a reason, it would be that I like you," Mo Xuan looked at him, "So would you consider me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xin immediately thought of the incident outside the restaurant where Mo Xuan had tried to kiss him.
He dodged it, and Mo Xuan didn't kiss him.
Xiao Xin replied without hesitation, "I won't consider it."
Mo Xuan smiled and said, "I know, because of Fu Yan."
"When will it take to get those two million?" Xiao Xin changed the subject.
Mo Xuan: "It should be ready by tomorrow."
Xiao Xin didn't say anything more, and the car fell silent again.
＊
When Xiao Xin arrived at Mo Xuan's house that evening, he called a local courier service to send the mango pancakes from the refrigerator to Fu Yan's villa.
He hasn't changed his phone yet because he doesn't want to receive harassing calls from loan sharks.
The postage was paid using Mo Xuan's mobile phone.
Mo Xuan looked at his cracked phone screen and asked, "When are you planning to get a new phone?"
Xiao Xin rubbed his sore neck, handed the phone back to Mo Xuan, took his own phone from Mo Xuan, and said, "I'm not planning to change it anytime soon. I'll wait until I've dealt with those loan sharks."
Mo Xuan nodded and said nothing more.

Yu Muqing was on a business trip out of town. She had just gotten into the car that was picking her up at the airport when she received a call from her bodyguard.
"What's wrong?" Yu Muqing asked as she answered the phone.
"Mr. Yu, Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu is missing!" The bodyguard's anxious voice came through the receiver.
Yu Muqing frowned. "How could you not see such a big, living person? What were you following them about?"
The bodyguard took a breath and explained, "Young Master Fu said he was going to buy clothes, but when we got to the mall, he went into the fitting room. We didn't see him come out, so we opened the fitting room door again, and then he was gone..."
Yu Muqing pressed her temples: "Keep searching."
He hung up the phone after he finished speaking and called the housekeeper.
The housekeeper stood at the villa's entrance, having just finished receiving a local delivery.
Upon receiving the call from Yu Muqing, he immediately handed the package to the maid beside him.
"Young Master Yu," the butler greeted politely.
Yu Muqing didn't beat around the bush and asked, "Has Fu Yan gone home?"
The butler glanced at his phone; there were still two hours until curfew. He replied to Yu Muqing, "Young Master Fu hasn't returned yet..."
He glanced at the package next to him, smiled, and continued, "But Young Master Fu will definitely be very happy to eat the mango pancakes that Young Master Yu ordered for him when he comes back."
Yu Muqing was taken aback; he hadn't ordered any mango crepes.
"What mango crepe?" Yu Muqing asked.
The housekeeper replied, "I just received a package, and you were the signatory."
Yu Muqing felt an increasing headache. "Check the sender's information."
The butler glanced at it and quickly replied, "The sender is Mo Xuan."
Yu Muqing: "..."
He thought for a moment and said, "Fu Yan, call me when you get home. That's all for now, I'll hang up now."
He hung up the phone after he finished speaking, and then, as if remembering something, dialed Xiao Xin's number.
The result was always that the device was off.
Yu Muqing gripped her phone tightly and then loosened her grip, her heart pounding in her chest.
Left with no other choice, he called Qiao Chen again.
Qiao Chen was working overtime processing company documents when he received a call from Yu Muqing. He quickly answered, "It's rare for President Yu to call me first. Is there anything I can help you with..."
"Is Fu Yan in the company?" Yu Muqing interrupted directly.
The smile faded from Qiao Chen's eyes, and he said coldly, "He's not here."
Yu Muqing calmed herself down and continued, "Fu Yan has gone missing. We need to find him quickly."
Qiao Chen objected, "He's twenty, not two. Don't you think you're overstepping your bounds?"
"Qiao Chen!" Yu Muqing interrupted him angrily: "I don't care what you're thinking, but this concerns the Fu family. If anything happens to Fu Yan, we have no chance."
Qiao Chen laughed: "So you mean if I find him, I'll have a chance?"
Yu Muqing remained silent, which Qiao Chen took as tacit agreement. He smiled and said, "Alright, don't rush me. I'll help you find it. When you get back from your business trip, be a good girl and let me......"
"Beep beep beep..."
Qiao Chen looked at the phone screen where the call had been disconnected, pushed up his glasses, and couldn't help but smile with a pleased expression as he thought of Yu Muqing blushing with anger because of him.
As if remembering something, she quickly typed a few more words for Yu Muqing on the keyboard:
Next time I want to be in your office
Yu Muqing rolled her eyes speechlessly as she looked at the cold words.
He gripped his phone so tightly that his knuckles began to turn white from the force.
The first time she met Qiao Chen was to prevent him from taking advantage of the Fu family's downfall.
One night of absurdity turned into Qiao Chen taking advantage of his vulnerability.
He didn't change his thoughts and beliefs about Qiao Chen; he simply treated it as a transaction.
What he didn't expect was that such transactions would happen countless times in the future...
Because Qiao Chen's phone still contained "handles" that he could use against Yu Muqing.
When Yu Muqing first saw those photos, he was also somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected to have such an expression on his face...
Yu Muqing got angry just thinking about it and retorted, not to be outdone: "Your technique is terrible. You'll have to practice more next time."
The other party quickly replied: You'll be satisfied next time.
Yu Muqing almost swore, but seeing the driver's strange look in the rearview mirror, she immediately swallowed it back.
He calmed himself down, and his thoughts drifted back to Fu Yan.
It's so late, where is Fu Yan going, having escaped the bodyguards' sight?
