The two of them then chatted casually.

However, Xi Xiaye finished her meal quickly and then left just when the waiter brought the food she had ordered for takeaway.

It was 1 p.m. when she arrived back at the office. As break time was not over yet, it was still pretty quiet as Xi Xiaye made her way up to the top floor.

“Director Xi!”

She b.u.mped into Mu Yuchen’s secretary at the door.

Xi Xiaye nodded. “Is Chairman Mu inside?”

The secretary smiled. “Yes, he’s in there.”

Xi Xiaye then walked in to see him working hard as she strolled in. The sound of him typing in the quiet s.p.a.ce was loud and clear.

She turned over and closed the door. The noise broke his concentration.

Mu Yuchen looked over at the door and saw her coming over. She put the stuff she was carrying down on the table.

She walked towards him and said, “What are you working on? Come and eat.”

He naturally wrapped his arm around her waist as she came closer. Sitting down on his lap, his deep voice reached her ears. “The numbers submitted by the Finance Department. How are you back so quickly?”

“I brought you lunch…” She then glanced over at the food on the table.

“Still worried that I’m hungry?” He chuckled happily as he tightened his grip slightly on her waist. His unique scent filled up the s.p.a.ce around them and her mind went blank for a while. She turned around and saw his warm gaze.

They looked at each other and love filled the air as if something was quickly bringing them closer to each other. She could not control herself as she tilted her head and kissed his lips.

He would never push such a rare initiative from her away, so he went along with her and just let her do whatever she wanted until he felt himself heating up. Struggling, he tried to suppress the building intimacy.

“Xiaye…” He pressed onto the hand on his chest as he said quietly, “Don’t go any lower. I can’t control myself…”

She narrowed her eyes at him with a cheeky smile. “I thought you could always keep your calm, you pervert.”

“If I can still keep calm from all that teasing, that’d be really dangerous.”

He glanced at her. “You really like to tease me lately, should I consider making my stand as the man of the house again?”

She laughed. “It’s useless to me. Alright, go and eat first. I’ve ordered all the most expensive food, but I’m sure it’s nothing to someone like Qi Lei. He actually seemed pretty easy to talk to.”

“He bought you over with just one meal?” He stood up and squinted his eyes at her. “Last night, you said that he’s not a gentleman, but after just one meal, you have such a change of perspective on him. I cook for you every day and you’ve never even complimented me!”

She was surprised. “Mr. Mu, are you being jealous right now?”

“You think a gentleman like me would get jealous over him? Don’t you think that’d lower my standards?”

The darkness on his face vanished instantly. She almost forgot this man had a nasty tongue. She just smiled without saying anything as she started browsing through the data on the laptop.

“The land Grandfather left for you is now officially yours. The doc.u.ments are inside the second drawer on your left. The West Park doc.u.ments will be done in two days. What are you going to do?” he asked as he sat down on the sofa opposite her.

Xi Xiaye then remembered Xi Jiyang’s last words. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Lawyer w.a.n.g called me yesterday and told me he’ll head over to West Park this few days. It must be about this. I’ll wait for his call before deciding whether I’ll go over or not.”

Xi Xiaye was obviously not really interested in such things. She did not have many fond memories of West Park, but that place was her grandfather and father’s home. It had been pa.s.sed down through the Xi family and it might mean a lot to Xi Jiyang and Xi Mushan, so she should protect it for them.

Xi Xiaye gave it some thought and asked, “Maybe Grandfather left West Park to me because he foresaw something. Mr. Mu, Grandfather is a very smart person. Apart from compensating, don’t you think there might be something else?”

“He probably hopes that you can protect West Park. It’s also the only thing he can give you. You have to know that the house is worth quite a lot. If Yueying were to fall into a financial crisis, it could be put up to use.” Mu Yuchen was straightforward about this matter.

Xi Xiaye took a deep breath and sighed, “It will just be an empty house even if I kept it safe. Father has no son. He only has me and Xi Xinyi. The house will be empty once we’re married, like Grandpa’s house. Fortunately, Mother accompanied Grandpa along the years so that he wouldn’t be lonely. I can’t ask Father to return to West Park after all this.”

“Let it be then. If he can accommodate Mother well, he can just stay at the Shen Residence. I know Father is pretty good at chess and likes fis.h.i.+ng. He shares the same interest with Grandpa.”

“Don’t you remember that Grandpa almost killed Father the last time? I know how he is. Father will need to put a lot more effort in to be forgiven.” Xi Xiaye felt a headache coming on.

“Father isn’t as weak as you think. He must be well-equipped to climb this high in the political scene. You need to understand him better.”

“Well, Father did go to the Shen Residence yesterday. Mother said that he’s shameless and she couldn’t chase him out no matter what.” Xi Xiaye seemed helpless.

“That’s a good thing. A man can’t get his woman without being a little shameless. You can expect a positive outcome from them.”

“What is that!? They are almost 50 years old! I didn’t see you being shameless to court me anyway. How did I marry you again?”

Wait, why did these words sound so familiar?
