Mu Chenyan looked at the people who were still waiting there and sneaked around to look their way but still pretended to be nonchalant. She had a hunch, so she asked, âThis is your hotel?â
Xia Zhao rubbed his nose and coughed unnaturally, âYes?â
âWhy didnât you tell me earlier?â asked Mu Chenyan. âYouâre telling me I missed out on a chance to rip you off with a big discount?â
Xia Zhao smiled at that, âShould I compile the list of all my businesses and assets and give it to you?â
âWhat? Are you writing a dowry list now?â she joked.
âIf you want me to, why not?â was his response which made her smile freeze. And seeing the sincerity on his face, she suddenly took a step back. She didnât even know why she did it but she felt like that sincerity was overwhelming. His tone had a different feeling than before. She knew he was always serious when he talked about taking responsibility. But right now, it didnât seem like he was just talking about responsibility.
This was too baffling to her.
âWhatâs next? Youâre gonna write those industries under my name?â
âIf you want it,â he said. âEverything of mine is yours if you want it. Myself included.â
.....
Mu Chenyan gaped at him in disbelief before a smile crept up on her lips and she said, âWhat if I want to exclude you from the package and take everything else?â
âAlthough thatâd hurt, we can still make this deal,â was his response.
Mu Chenyan tsked at that, âYouâre so boring. You really can let go of all that money you worked hard for?â
âYou and I both know that money has never been my favorite,â replied Xia Zhao.
Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at him. But she knew he wasnât being pretentious. His life style was really simple. One of the most random gifts from his grandparents was already a priceless treasure. So, the value of money was different for him. Itâs not like they came from families where money was everything.
âI donât want it,â said Mu Chenyan. âI donât even know what to do with my own money. What am I gonna do with yours? Burn it?â
âBurn it,â he replied. âJust make sure, youâre safe in the process.â
Mu Chenyan was left speechless for a moment and said, âWhy are you doing this today?â
âWhat?â
âWhatever youâre doing,â she said. âStop it. Iâm not used to it. Itâs making it difficult for me to yell at you.â
âOkay, Iâll stop,â said Xia Zhao. âTell me, what youâre doing here? Is there anything I can do for you?â
âI can do it myself,â she said.
âI know,â he replied. âI know you can do everything yourself but Iâm just letting you know that Iâm here. So, use free labor. It wonât hurt you.â
âHow can I make Master Xia Zhao work as free labor for me?â
âIf Iâm willing to work, why arenât you willing to let me work?â
Mu Chenyan pointed behind him at the men who were almost losing their minds seeing their boss talking to a woman over there. âI think your subordinates might get a heart attack if they saw you working for me as free labor.â
âThen theyâll just have to get used to it,â said Xia Zhao. He took a pause and added, âWhy are hesitating so much today? You actually have been using me a free labor since we were young. Are you forgetting that you even made me act like your horse and rode on me?â
Mu Chenyan suddenly turned thoughtful and nodded her head with a meaningful expression, âHmm... Riding was fun.â
Xia Zhaoâs eyes widened when he heard those words with that expression of hers, âYanzi! Get your head out of the ditch!â
âWhat? Iâm just saying it was fun,â she said again trying to look very innocent but her eyes were betraying her badly.
He covered her eyes with his hand and took a deep breath. Then he leaned closer to her ear and said, âYou better stop looking at me with those eyes of yours.â
âWhy?â
âWhy? Do you still have the nerve to ask? Youâre practically undressing me with that gaze,â said Xia Zhao. âDonât think I donât know what goes in that brain of yours.â
Mu Chenyan held his hand and pulled it down from her eyes as she smiled at him, âYouâre not even a virgin anymore. Why are you still so shy? We are old now. You should really get over it.â
âYouâre looking for trouble,â he commented.
âWhen have I not?â she retorted as she quirked her brow at him.
Xia Zhao took a deep breath and said, âYou should pay attention to the engagement. Iâll see you after that.â
âWhy? Why not now?â
âBecause I donât want you to miss out,â he replied. âI have a few matters to deal with it. Iâll be at the engagement party on time. Donât forget to call me if you need help. You can call me even if you donât want help. I donât mind.â Mu Chenyan was rolling her eyes at him when he leaned over. His face came closer to hers and Mu Chenyan froze. His hot breath hit the side of her neck as his low voice entered her ear, âI almost forgot to mention that youâre looking beautiful today.â
With that, he stepped back. Satisfied with her stunned look, he tapped her nose and turned around to leave. Mu Chenyan was left looking at his back and placed a hand on her chest. âWhat the fuck! Who taught this block of wood how to flirt? And why is my steel heart even falling for his corny words?â She patted her chest, âYou canât be this weak, hearty! He is the heartless one. You have to remember that at all times!â
She couldnât believe that she was actually moved by those words.
But the truth was something even she knew deep down.
It wasnât the words that worked.
It was the person who said those words.
She punched the air in exasperation before she went to do her business.
