She silently looked up at him, her bright and clear face entering his sight. His heart suddenly softened, and his hand could not help but gently reach up to comb through her beautiful waist-length hair. He bent and lowered his head, planting a cold kiss.

His unique fragrance closed in, dazing her for a moment, but she did not reject it. She held onto his s.h.i.+rt tightly and just closed her eyes, allowing him to wordlessly demand as he wished.

While he did not cross the lines with his demands, he just had a brief taste and held back, stopping before he got ahead of himself.

He reluctantly peeled away from her lips, then pulled her into his arms and hugged her. His deep voice sounded so sentimental that it started to melt her heart.

“Did you think of me?” He asked.

She paused, then reflexively pulled tighter onto his s.h.i.+rt. Thinking about it, she glanced up at him calmly, her clear eyes filled with an earnest look as she answered softly, “Compared to Mr. Mu yourself, I think I miss your cooking even more…”

“Such a foodie,” he reprimanded softly, and then his handsome face flashed with a rare smile that was easy as a cool breeze. She noticed that the fatigue in his eyes faded away a little.

Xi Xiaye struggled a little and then said, “I’ll go cook supper for you. You can eat it after was.h.i.+ng up.”

He then gently let her go and fixed her slightly messy hair at the same time as he answered, “I’ve eaten on the plane, so I’m not hungry. Please go and prepare the bath water for me.”

She nodded, then she tidied up the dirty clothes and walked towards the bathroom while he opened the wardrobe to look for clothes.

…

Mu Yuchen put on a sleeping gown and simply brushed his air-dried hair. When he walked out of the bathroom, Xi Xiaye was leaning against the bedhead and flipping through the agenda for the launch the next day.

When she felt a faint scent close in and the s.p.a.ce beside her sink, she looked up from the doc.u.ments.

“It’s already so late. Why are you still looking at this? Put it away and quickly get to sleep.” He did not allow for explanations as he took the doc.u.ment in her hand away. He closed it and set it aside on the bedside cabinet.

“It’s the agenda details for tomorrow. Today, I was busy the whole day and didn’t get to look at it. Tomorrow morning, I still have to rush over very early, so I want to see if there’s anything I missed out on.”

“It’s more or less fine. It’s late. Look at it tomorrow.”

He pulled the blanket aside while Xi Xiaye stretched in exhaustion and quietly scooted over to the other side of the bed. Before he lay down, he reached over to switch the lights off and turned to pull her into his arms.

“Did you settle everything on the other side?” She suddenly asked.

“Mmm, I’ll leave the rest of it to Vice President Zhang and Ah Mo. Generally, the problems have been resolved. What’s next will be the concrete execution of things. On the other hand, the South River project might need more work on it.”

His voice sounded tired. The year had just started and already he was beginning to be worn out; there were still more days ahead in the year.

“Mmm, I know. Many people are looking at it too, but I believe that Glory World will definitely be the one that succeeds.” Xi Xiaye’s determined tone was filled with certainty.

“Pretty confident, aren’t you?”

His calm voice brushed past her ear, while she just frowned and looked up from his embrace. Her starry eyes widened in the silent darkness as she gazed at him earnestly. “Glory World is very capable. As long as we put a little more effort into the proposal, it shouldn’t be too hard. Don’t worry. I’m not too good at other things, but I’m pretty good at this. If I say we’ll succeed, then we will.”

Mu Yuchen was amused by her br.i.m.m.i.n.g confidence. He patted her head and chuckled. “My Missus is a heroine and she’s looking more and more like a queen now.”

“Of course!” She answered without any humility at all. Having been with him for quite some time now, she seemed to be gradually influenced by him and started to be narcissistic like him too.

A short while after, the even sound of his breathing was heard. He had not rested well for quite a few days in a row, so he was extremely exhausted. As time went on, he seemed to also have gotten used to sleeping beside her, and now hugged her to sleep as he felt more secure and safe enough to fall asleep.

When she saw that he did not say anything for a long while, she softly called out to him, “Mu Yuchen?”

Quite a while after, she still did not hear his answer, so she turned to look and saw that he had already fallen asleep.

“Fallen asleep so quickly… I wanted to get you to help me get a gown too…” Xi Xiaye muttered to herself before lying back down.

…

Xi Xiaye clearly remembered that she had set an alarm for 7 a.m. last night, yet the next day she did not hear the alarm ring. When she woke up it was already past 9 a.m. and the man beside her was still sleeping.

She climbed out of bed annoyed and did not wake him up. She washed up and changed at the quickest speed before packing the doc.u.ments up and rus.h.i.+ng downstairs. Not even having the time to eat, she simply cooked some porridge for Mu Yuchen before she rushed to Entertainment City.

By the time she got there, everyone had already paused for lunch.

“Director Xi, have some food first. You rushed over so frantically…” Manager Fang handed a lunchbox to Xi Xiaye as he smiled and commented.

“No need. You eat. I just had some bread, so I’m not too hungry. My alarm didn’t ring in the morning, so I was a little late. I’m really sorry.” Xi Xiaye smiled sheepishly.

“You’ve been coming early and returning late every day. How terribly busy! You should get some proper rest,” Manager Fang said in concern.

Xi Xiaye nodded. “Mmm, thank you. Later in the afternoon, Vice President Zhang and the rest will rush over. Is the venue almost done being decorated?”

“Don’t worry, Director Xi. It’s pretty much done and everyone’s just packing up. I’ve checked the stage too. It’s all good. We’ve also gone through everything on the agenda, and it’s generally already done. All that’s left is our company’s promotional logo. They’ve gone back to the office to send the gifts over, so it can definitely be done before 2 p.m.”

As she listened to Manager Fang, Xi Xiaye took out her phone and checked the time. It was close to 1 p.m. and the launch would begin at half-past 3. There was also going to be a grand banquet tonight with programmes and the line up was strong. The entire event was quite extravagant.

Because Imperial Sky Entertainment City was a large-scale entertainment city led by Glory World Corporation coupled with many collaborations and investments from other companies, it was practically one of the super large projects of City Z in the recent years. It drew a lot of attention from the city residents and the government.

Xi Xiaye quietly put her phone away and then said, “Let’s move faster. We’re a bit tight on time. It’s already 1 p.m. now. In another two hours, the honored guests and the other guests will be here, so you need to watch things well. You should understand the significance of the launch. Be more careful. I’ll go take a look at the venue. Check this side again and take note of anything that we’ve missed out.”

She left with these words, and then walked towards the International Exhibition Centre.
