A fine-dining restaurant.

Chu Xi and a business partner were discussing cooperation matters here, and Song Yushu was also with them.

This is a project that he has been striving for recently. As long as he gets this project, the strength of his company will be greatly improved.

After several pleasant communications, the two parties reached an agreement on some matters of the project, and this cooperation was finalized.

The meal was almost over, and both parties stood up. Chu Xi smiled politely and shook hands with the other party to show his pleasure in cooperation. However, when he stood up, he heard the sound of a spoon falling to the ground. It was a very crisp sound. Chu Xi frowned and glanced over subconsciously, but when he saw the people at the table behind him, he froze immediately.

Chu Xi didn't say anything more. He just apologized and said that he had other things to deal with. He specifically asked Song Yushu beside him to see the other party off properly.

After Song Yushu and that person left, Chu Xi frowned and walked towards that place step by step.

When he really walked over, Chu Xi suppressed the raging emotions in his heart that were about to burst, and tried to lower his voice. Then he stood next to Mu Ci very familiarly, bent down, picked up the spoon she had just dropped, and put it aside.

"Why do you eat with him?"

Chu Xi, with obvious intimacy, pulled at Mu Ci's slightly curled hair twice and asked casually.

"Of course, as you can see, Mu Ci likes to have dinner with me."

Qin Zichen, who was sitting opposite, saw this and said coldly.

"I didn't ask you."

Chu Xi didn't even turn his head, just looked at Mu Ci, with no other unnecessary expressions on his face, but replied in the same cold voice.

"Mu Ci, I want to hear it from your own mouth."

Chu Xi lowered his voice again, as if he was afraid that the coldness in his tone would scare her.

Mu Ci frowned when he saw him like this, then raised his hand and knocked the arm that was playing with his hair aside.

She raised her head slightly and looked at Chu Xi, whose face was frozen. She opened her lips slightly, but spoke clearly word by word: "Just as you can see, Qin Zichen and I are having dinner here because I still like Qin Zichen. I don't like you. I have never liked you from the beginning to the end."

He knew every word she said, but when they were put together he seemed not to understand what they meant. He staggered for a moment, then stood up and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"You...what did you say?"

Mu Ci looked at him like this and sneered.

"I should have expressed my desire to break up before, but I don't know if you were just playing dumb or for some other reason, but you interrupted me every time. Now it's making everyone look bad, why bother? I heard from Song Yushu that you should have heard the conversation between Ji Tongtong and me in high school. Since you know that I was using you from the beginning to the end, why bother to make yourself look so bad?"

Mu Ci looked extremely heartbroken.

Chu Xi kept these words in his ears and felt as if his head was about to explode.

He stared at Mu Ci, his deep eyes were now full of red, as if he was suppressing very deep emotions.

Just when everyone present thought he was going to explode completely, no one could have imagined that the man on the verge of explosion suddenly closed his eyes, then took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

Then, appearing extremely calm, he gently but firmly grasped Mu Ci's wrist and spoke softly in a coaxing tone.

"Stop making a fuss. Let's go home first. If you have anything to say, why don't we go home? I have decorated our future new home and we can move in now. I wanted to give you a surprise. You can go now. I will take you to see it."

Having said that, he pulled Mu Ci away.

No matter how hard Mu Ci struggled, the hand holding her wrist did not move at all.

The three of them seemed to be performing a farce, and it ended in a way that was beyond everyone's expectations.

Qin Zichen stood up, looked up at the two figures that looked extremely well matched, and a hint of loneliness emerged in his eyes.

He wondered if he could have done the same as Chu Xi back then, would everything be different now?

He placed that special person deep in his heart and the dream he had always wanted to pursue.

Will everything be different?

Chu Xi used all his strength to bring Mu Ci to the car next to him without hurting her.

After Mu Ci sat in the passenger seat, Chu Xi leaned over very gently and pulled the seat belt for her to fasten. Then, as usual, he touched her forehead and gave her a gentle kiss.

Mu Ci looked at him coldly.

"Chu Xi, are you crazy enough?"

Chu Xi was stunned for a moment, then sat back.

"No, I'm not crazy enough."

Chu Xi tilted his head to look at Mu Ci, his deep eyes hiding a deep pain, but he was unusually calm when he spoke.

"You've been wanting to say this for a long time, right?"

Although he knew this day would come, he always thought he could postpone it a little longer. If he did everything well, maybe she would not be able to bear it.

But...it finally came.

Mu Ci looked at him without saying anything.

"Let's go home."

He changed the subject like this, insisting on these four words.

The voice was slightly trembling, terribly hoarse, and very low. And beneath this calmness, there seemed to be a strong sense of unwillingness and struggle.

Mu Ci was stunned by his reaction.

"I said we should break up! Chu Xi, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Mu Ci spoke again, her voice getting louder due to the inexplicable anger.

It seemed like she was reminding him, and at the same time, it seemed like she was reminding herself.

"Mu Ci, are you a heartless woman?" Chu Xi's eyes were gloomy and her face was expressionless.

After that, he said calmly: "I'll take you back. Don't think about these things now. Have a good rest."

Mu Ci was doing an internship outside during his senior year, so he rented an apartment near his company and did not live at home.

Chu Xi had sent her there several times before, so he was naturally familiar with this place.

After Chu Xi drove the car to the downstairs of the apartment building, he still had that cold face. He just reminded her again in silence, asking her to have a good rest, and then drove away as if escaping.

Mu Ci looked at the car speeding past and felt a headache thinking about Chu Xi's reaction just now.

She dragged her tired body back home, first apologized to Qin Zichen neatly, and then thought about Chu Xi's reaction.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew that she didn't take the breakup so lightly. Although it was a coincidence, they had been together for such a long time, and there was no doubt that they would have feelings for each other.

Thinking about his own identity, Mu Ci felt a little headache.

In the end, she was too young. She had just completed her internship and was not able to keep her heart firmly in mind, so she broke this rule so easily. This was wrong. While everything was still in time to save it, she needed to get out of this relationship that was doomed to have no good results as soon as possible. This would be good for both of them.

After discussing the matter concerning Chu Xi with the system, Mu Ci once again determined to break away from this world completely.

However, when Mu Ci wanted to find Chu Xi again, he was nowhere to be seen. It was as if this man was deliberately avoiding her. No matter what she did, he seemed to be able to find a strategy to deal with it and escape again. It seemed that only in this way would the things he didn't want to hear or happen not happen.

It’s really... too childish!

Mu Ci frowned.

But no matter how much he wanted to delay, he still had to face the breakup in the end. Mu Ci planned to go directly to his company this time and explain the matter thoroughly.

He won't be allowed to mess around this time.

When Mu Ci finally arrived downstairs at Chu Xi's building, he saw the scene in front of him again and still couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Chu Xi is really amazing. He has reached such a high level of strength at such a young age. It is really amazing.

These days have been busy on the one hand because of Mu Ci's proposal to break up, and on the other hand because Chu Xi is really busy.

As his power slowly built up, he began to secretly investigate the Du family, trying to connect the events of the past to see what kind of relationship the Du family had with their family, how much the Du family was involved in Chu's father's imprisonment and accidental death, or whether it was completely planned by the Du family.

I was busy with these things during this period. Because some things had been basically determined, Chu Xi began to deal with the Du family little by little.

Recently, the Du family's business has been plagued by problems, and it was Chu Xi who was secretly rectifying the Du family bit by bit.

When Mu Ci arrived downstairs at Chu Xi's company, looking at the building in front of him, he had a sense of déjà vu as if times had passed and things and people had changed.

Because Chu Xi had brought Mu Ci here before, the front desk quickly let Mu Ci through.

But I specifically reminded her.

"The boss is probably busy with official business right now, so Miss Su may have to wait a little longer. When you go upstairs, pay special attention to the reporters who have been waiting here for a long time. In short, Miss Su, just be careful."

The instructions sounded very thoughtful. After listening to them one by one, Mu Ci thanked him and walked forward.

However, Mu Ci took a few steps forward and saw a crowd of people in the distance. It seemed that this was the reporter that the lady at the front desk mentioned earlier.

She deliberately combed her hair a few times to reduce her presence as much as possible, and then quietly moved towards Chu Xi's office.

But just as they were about to pass by, I don't know what those people saw, but the reporters who were a little confused just now, this time they heard the news and rushed here in unison.

Mu Ci was startled and quickly stood up, but his shoes were accidentally stepped on and he fell outside subconsciously.

At this moment, Chu Xi, who had just heard the front desk call saying that Miss Su was coming over, immediately stopped what he was doing and came over to her. However, when he reached the first floor, he saw Mu Ci who was about to fall to the ground, so Chu Xi took a few quick steps to help him.

Then he gave her a princess hug in full view of everyone.

Everyone was shocked, and they all rushed to raise their cameras to take a clearer picture. And in a place that no one noticed, a sneaky-looking man was holding something that was flashing coldly from a certain angle.

The author has something to say: Because the content was accidentally repeated and became messy, I revised it and it’s now fixed.

If you have already bought a cute item, you can just take a look at it again to see the latest one.

The world is coming to an end, maybe it will end tomorrow.

The next welfare world, I am thinking about what kind of world to open.
