Xi Xiaye patted his hand when she noticed his slightly darkened eyes. “What’s that expression? Don’t you agree with what I said?”

He quickly replied, “Of course not. I’ll listen to whatever you say. We won’t force it and just let nature take its course. Our sons are still young anyway. Aren’t you worried that your hands might be tied? You’re still young after all. Even our mothers look like they are just over 30 years old. You’re pretty much a teenager at this point.”

He noticed this little woman of his was beginning to worry about her age as of late. She often asked him if she was looking old or if she had gotten fat.

“You’re brus.h.i.+ng me off!” She rolled her eyes at him.

“I’m telling the truth. What happened to your confidence?” He looked at her helplessly while she gave him an odd glance. “Why are you looking at me like that? Am I really that handsome?”

She coughed lightly and smiled. “Mr. Mu, I’m trying to imagine how you’d look if you get fat with a beer belly as big as a baby b.u.mp…I suppose I wouldn’t have that much compet.i.tion if you were like that.”

Mu Yuchen frowned. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to keep myself in check.”

“Not giving up your a.s.sets that’ll get you girls, huh?”

“You’re interested in me because I’m good looking, aren’t you?” he spoke as he dragged her along, “Come inside. It’s cold out here.”

“Are you feeling better?” Xi Xiaye followed him inside the room.

“I’m fine. Let’s go and take a walk around tonight.” He would not want her to come all the way here for nothing.

“It’s wet outside anyway. Let’s just stay inside and watch movies. There’s a kitchen here, isn’t there? Why don’t you cook something? It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten your cooking—” Xi Xiaye still liked his cooking best.

“What would you like to eat?” he asked as he was about to prepare the ingredients.

“Honey-sauce steak…mmm, and…” Xi Xiaye named several dishes. Mu Yuchen quickly got the waiter to prepare the ingredients, and they hastily sent the ingredients over in just a while.

The two of them started cooking in the kitchen.

“Let me give Li Si and Xu Yayan a call. I’ll get them to come over for dinner as well, and I’ll also prepare some soup for Zhou Zimo.” Xi Xiaye had been here for two days, but she had not seen Zhou Zimo, so she planned to visit him that night.

Mu Yuchen just quietly prepared the ingredients. “Sure, don’t add onions. He hates the smell.”

“You guys sure have the same taste. I heard from Ji Zitong that Su Chen doesn’t like it too.”

Mu Yuchen paused as he was reminded of something interesting. He smiled. “It’s not that they hate it, but they are traumatized.”

“Traumatized?” Xi Xiaye raised her eyebrows out of curiosity.

“When we were still in school, they liked to play cards along with Ah Mo. The loser would have to eat raw onions, and Zhou Zimo ate the most among them.”

“Zhou Zimo? Why?” Xi Xiaye was interested in their story.

“Because he’s stupid!” Mu Yuchen was awfully blunt. “Su Chen often cheated, but Zhou Zimo never realized it after so many years.”

“Who thought of an idea like that? You guys waged to eat onions instead of betting money?”

“Me!” Mu Yuchen replied right away.

Xi Xiaye…

Li Si and Xu Yayan arrived when dinner was almost ready.

They had a good chat during dinner. Xi Xiaye was quiet when they started to talk about Zhou Zimo’s matter, and she just refilled their wine gla.s.ses. She somehow figured out Zhou Zimo’s situation by listening to their conversation.

Because they actually found a large amount on Zhou Zimo, it was not easy to get him out.

The problem Mu Yuchen needed to solve here was to stabilize the company internally and find the mole. They also need to deal with the police and keep Zhou Zimo safe.

They had been more worried when Zhou Zimo was still unconscious. Luckily, they had some leads now.

When Mu Yuchen arrived at the hospital, the police had just finished interrogating Zhou Zimo.

Zhou Zimo had mostly recovered. If things were still unresolved after a few days, he would have to go to the police station.

“Stay outside and keep on guard,” Zhou Zimo finished the soup as he said to Xu Yayan.

Xu Yayan nodded and traded glances with Li Si before leaving the room together. She wanted to leave as well, but Mu Yuchen stopped her. “Xiaye, there’s some tea in the cupboard. Make some for us.”

He then helped Zhou Zimo to move towards the sofa.

Xi Xiaye nodded and started boiling some water while the men sat down and started talking.

“Why did you make her come all the way here?” Zhou Zimo glanced at Xi Xiaye as he chuckled. “No wonder you looked so energetic…Ah—” His laughter turned into a shriek!

“Keep your mouth clean if you don’t want to suffer anymore. No wonder Su Chen says you have no manners,” Mu Yuchen warned him.

“Get lost! How am I dirty now?” Zhou Zimo was annoyed.

“If you have the time to argue with me, then take a look at these.” Mu Yuchen did not want to argue any further and just showed him a doc.u.ment.

Zhou Zimo glanced over at his injured arm, then looked back at Mu Yuchen. He opened the doc.u.ment for him. “It’s leaning towards what I thought. You might have to suffer for a little longer.”
