Chapter 1035 - Unexpected Call (3)
Secretary Wang reminded Han Yifeng that all their companies were more or less connected, especially the Han Corporation and Qi Kai. Previously, because of Xi Xinyi’s contract with Qi Kai, the Han Corporation had contributed as well, so now they could be considered as having a simple partnership.
However, would Mu Yuchen value Xi Xinyi’s capabilities?
A cynical light flashed in Han Yifeng’s eyes. Back then, did Yueying not almost fall because of Mu Yuchen? Would he value Xi Xinyi? What kind of joke was this!?
“CEO Han, recently in City Z, Miss Xi Xinyi…”
“You don’t have to tell me these things. I already told you that I don’t want to know any news about her, much less find out! You’re crossing the line here, Secretary Wang!”
When Xi Xinyi was mentioned, Han Yifeng’s felt a mix of feelings. Apart from disappointment and anger, there was even more indifference. With all of his patience and feelings having been wiped out, he could only feel indifferent towards her.
Observing how he was still so conflicted about Xi Xinyi, Secretary Wang could not tell whether he loved or hated her. At least, he knew that Han Yifeng had once loved Xi Xinyi, though they could not hold onto the relationship.
He hesitated, then could not help but say, “I’m sorry, CEO Han! I just didn’t want to see you suffer. I can tell from your eyes that you aren’t happy at all. I’m sure you haven’t been able to let go of those things.”
Han Yifeng’s expression tensed. He shot a hostile gaze at Secretary Wang. “Secretary Wang, don’t think that you can easily pry into my thoughts! When have I looked like I’ve been suffering? At least, compared to before, I’m much more relaxed and happy! I can do just fine without anyone! Who does Xi Xinyi think she is? I’ll never give her a chance again! I’ve given her too many chances. When has she truly appreciated any of them?”
Suddenly, he started to rant, “All of you keep telling me to give her a chance and forget those things, but when has anyone given me a chance? Can you give me a chance to go back to how it was? You can’t! Xi Xinyi can’t either! But I…I’ve given her many chances. Every time, I ended up black and blue. I can’t bear to do it again. If I could choose again, I wish to have never met her.”Read more chapter on vipnovel.com
Han Yifeng sounded terribly disappointed and frustrated to Secretary Wang who rarely saw his boss close to losing control like this!
“I just wanted to quietly be with one person, but right now, that seems quite impossible to me…”
After having said that, Han Yifeng only breathed in slightly and did not want to continue. He picked up his pace and walked inside.
After the tall figure disappeared quickly underneath the bleak light, Secretary Wang heard the thud of the door closing heavily. He was trapped in this deadlock that was probably very hard for a breakthrough. Despite trying to help them change things up, it seemed like no matter how hard he tried, it was useless. Still, he had really tried his best, so he could only sigh helplessly and leave too.
In the Glory World Corporation office in City Z, Xi Xiaye did not go up. Instead, she gave Mu Yuchen a call from the car and he came down shortly after that. When she saw him come over, she moved to one side and opened the car door while he slipped into the car and gave her an exquisitely wrapped box.
Xi Xiaye looked puzzledly at the box, then asked softly, “What is it?”
“Didn’t you say you like that dim sum shop the last time we went out? I went there earlier and got you a box of dim sum,” he answered softly as he fixed his wrinkled sleeves.
She smiled brightly and put the box aside. “You still remember! I’ll eat it when I get back. Xiao Rui also likes it.”
“Mmm, I’ll rush home today to make some good food for you.” Master Mu had not cooked for quite a while now. Since she mentioned that she wanted steak last night, he planned to grill some for her that night.
…
When they reached the entrance of Mu Zirui’s school, it was close to 5 p.m. The exam had not ended yet, but the school entrance was surrounded by lots of parents who were all there to pick their children up.
In the blue sky, the sun was already heading West. The scorching heat of the afternoon sun had also subsided while the cold breeze in the air slowly cooled the air.
The car stopped underneath the water banyan tree by the school entrance as the husband and wife sat unmoving. When they heard the bell ring, both of them looked up to the entrance.
At this moment, Li Si, who was standing behind the car, suddenly came up to knock the window on Mu Yuchen’s side as he gently drew his boss’s attention. “Master, look!”
Mu Yuchen wound the window down and followed Li Si’s gaze. Soon, he saw a black luxurious car parked not too far away. In the back seat, an extremely handsome and gentleman had one arm propped up against the car window with a cigarette between his fingers as he smoked nonchalantly. Perhaps because he sensed Mu Yuchen’s gaze, he glanced over at him. With those extremely sinister eyes, who else could it be but Qi Feng?
In fact, Mu Yuchen could vaguely see Gu Lingsha seated in the car too. After experiencing the whole scandal, she had become much more cautious. Even though those rumors were squashed, she and Qi Feng had accepted the media interview anyway since some rumors were incessant.
Qi Feng was not just a crippled man. Handsome as he was, he was also Qi Kai’s potential heir whereas Gu Lingsha was the heiress of the Hui Gu Corporation. In fact, her mother was somewhat of a noble descendant, and with her looks, the fact that she would be willing to be by Qi Feng’s side for the rest of their lives seemed a little surreal. Everyone would much rather believe that Gu Lingsha was still hung up over Chairman Mu of Glory World!
However, when the news of her and Qi Feng registering for their marriage came through, these private discussions died down, and everyone silently observed their latest moves.
