Yu Muqing was stunned for a moment, and the elevator doors opened at the right time.
He had just stepped into the elevator when his phone, which he had left with his assistant, rang.
The assistant, seeing it was a private number, handed it to Yu Muqing: "Mr. Yu, this is a private number."
Yu Muqing glanced at the phone, saw it was Xiao Xin, and answered, "You've left Fu Yan's place?"
Xiao Xin had just walked out of the hospital and stood by the roadside when she hummed into the phone, "I told the bodyguards I had a stomachache and insisted they take me to the hospital, so..."
Seeing that he seemed hesitant to speak, Yu Muqing asked, "So what?"
Xiao Xin: "Could you let me hide away at a club for a while?"
Yu Muqing understood his concerns and nodded: "Okay, I have something to tell you, you go to the club and wait for me."
Xiao Xin hummed in agreement, then added a reminder: "Don't tell Fu Yan."
Yu Muqing said "I know" and then hung up the phone.
...
Xiao Xin arrived at the club at nine o'clock in the evening. As soon as he walked in, someone greeted him.
Xiao Xin didn't recognize him, but still nodded politely, put his hands in his pockets, and continued walking inside.
The corridor lights flickered brightly, and a passing guest accidentally bumped into him. The smell of unknown perfume and alcohol filled his nostrils, making Xiao Xin feel a little dizzy. He suppressed the urge to feel nauseous and quickened his pace toward the elevator.
Yu Muqing's office was on the sixth floor. Xiao Xin arrived at the office door and tried shaking the doorknob.
Surprisingly, it wasn't locked.
He glanced around and, seeing that no one was around, went inside.
Xiao Xin walked in and closed the door behind him.
Yu Muqing's office had a faint fragrance, and the room was spotless, indicating that it was regularly cleaned.
Xiao Xin walked straight to the sofa and slowly sat down.
His wound hadn't healed yet, so he couldn't do any strenuous movements. He went to the hospital because of stomach pain, which was because Fu Yan hadn't cleaned him properly.
Xiao Xin is still angry when he thinks about this. He feels that Fu Yan did it on purpose, and he has no choice but to suffer in silence.
Xiao Xin leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes. The soothing aromatherapy and calming music quickly made him sleepy, and he drifted off to sleep with his eyes closed.
Half an hour later, the office door was pushed open, and Yu Muqing walked in from outside. He immediately saw Xiao Xin sleeping on the sofa and turned to ask his assistant to get him a blanket.
Five minutes later, Yu Muqing took the blanket handed to her by her assistant and walked towards Xiao Xin.
He moved very lightly, and just as he covered Xiao Xin with the blanket, Xiao Xin slowly opened her eyes.
Yu Muqing paused in covering himself with the blanket, then straightened up and asked Xiao Xin, "How long have you been waiting?"
Xiao Xin threw off the blanket, propped herself up on the sofa, stretched her arms, and shook her head, saying, "I don't know."
He wasn't sleeping soundly, so he woke up as soon as Yu Muqing got close to him.
Yu Muqing sat on the sofa next to him, poured him a cup of hot tea, and pushed it in front of him: "Here, wake up."
Xiao Xin thanked him, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and glanced at him, asking, "You just said on the phone that you had something to tell me?"
Yu Muqing picked up a lighter and lit a cigarette for himself. The sparks quickly ignited. He squinted and took a puff before tossing the lighter onto the coffee table and looking at Xiao Xin.
"Do you have a deal with Qiao Chen?"
Xiao Xin looked away, placed the teacup on the coffee table, and nodded: "Mm."
Yu Muqing squinted, seemingly deep in thought as he exhaled smoke.
This matter is related to Fu Yan, so it is reasonable for Yu Muqing to ask him about it.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiao Xin thought she had said something taboo and couldn't help but glance at him.
The two sat there quietly until Yu Muqing finished the last puff of his cigarette.
He pulled over the ashtray, stubbed out his cigarette, and said, "The deal is off now, so you don't need to worry anymore."
Xiao Xin looked up at him in surprise: "Why..."
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt it was inappropriate.
Since Yu Muqing says it's invalid, then it's invalid.
Anyway, he knew about the relationship between Qiao Chen and Yu Muqing, so he wasn't too surprised.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Yu Muqing asked, "Why did you sign that contract in the first place?"
Xiao Xin didn't know how to answer for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "For money."
When the topic turned to money, Yu Muqing changed the subject: "Fu Yan has already paid off your debts, so why are you still working at the club?"
Xiao Xin finished the rest of the tea in his cup, put it down, and said slowly, "It's just that the creditor has changed."
In fact, he himself doesn't understand himself. Perhaps he really can't accept Fu Yan's help from the bottom of his heart, nor does he want Fu Yan to see him as so weak.
Their social status was already unequal, and now these trivial matters are making them even more distant.
That money was his responsibility to repay, not Fu Yan's. He didn't want to let other things bind their relationship or tarnish it.
Although their relationship seems to be starting to crack...
Yu Muqing didn't quite understand that earning 100 million yuan working at a club was no easy task, but he didn't say much and didn't want to interfere with Xiao Xin's thoughts.
He nodded silently, then asked, "How did you escape from the hospital?"
"I changed clothes with the doctor," Xiao Xin said.
“Okay,” Yu Muqing slapped his thigh, a hint of fatigue showing between his brows. He stood up and said to Xiao Xin, “I’ll have the manager get you a room. Get some rest today, we can talk about it later.”
Xiao Xin nodded. "Yes, thank you, Mr. Yu."
Yu Muqing glanced at him, draped her coat over her arm, and turned to walk out the door.
Just two minutes after Yu Muqing left, the manager walked in and was both excited and moved when he saw Xiao Xin.
