By the time the two went downstairs, breakfast was already ready.
As Ning Xiaofei couldn¡¯t pick even a spoon and fork, Mu Tianye took the task of feeding her some the little girl opened her mouth and was all smiles.
On the breakfast table, there settled a rare harmonious meal. The two people who consumed too much energy from the exercisest night were incredibly ravenous. Ms. Liu stood by and watched the two and couldn¡¯t resist a smile.
After breakfast, as Mu Tianye offered, he personally sent her to work.
The TV station was on the other side of the road so Ning Xiaofei asked the driver to drop her off directly on the side of the road. She thought it would be a waste of if he were to drive her to the front gate. She waved off and jumped down from the car with her backpack.
¡°Husband, see you tonight!¡±
When the driver restarted the car, Mu Tianye followed her to the street crossing till she disappeared into the crowd before withdrawing his sight.

Airport
At the exit, young girls stood in groups of three, five and stretched their necks to look at the exit.
Some were holding flowers, others were holding banners, others were holding up signs or posters of Xicheng or cute characters like ¡°Xicheng, fans will always support you¡±.
Today, Xicheng was returning back home after a campaign in Singapore. Although he has always kept a low profile, some found out his schedule and came to wee him back.
Among the crowd were also a lot of reporters.
The airport staff were notified so they also arranged special security to maintain order.
At the moment, the information that the ne from hasnded was broadcasted so everyone rushed immediately and surrounded the exit.
In a moment, Xicheng, who just dened came out of a special passage was escorted out by assistants and staff.
The man¡¯s slender frame could have been lost in the crowd. But despite the cap covering his face and the ck sportswear he was wearing, which was entirely low-key, he was instantly recognized.
¡°Xicheng is here!¡±
¡°Xicheng, I love you!¡±
...........
In an instant, chaos reigned.
Reporters together rushed to take snaps of him.
Xichen fixed his sunsses and frowned. With the help of the staff, he strode out of the airport, got into the car before castigating someone.
¡°This is what you say confidential?¡±
The smile on Xu Yang¡¯s face slipped and he could only respond helplessly.
¡°You also know that it¡¯s impossible for thepany to disclose anything. I¡¯m guessing it must be someone from the aviation office who gave the tip.
This man was a ma to both males and females. His followers came far and wide and spread across a wide range of industries. His fans were just phenomenal. They could always find out his next stop so don¡¯t me Xu Yang. He has already exhausted all sorts of methods. Who made him fascinate millions of fans?
When the car drove out of the airport, Xicheng slouched back on the back of the chair.
He has been working non-stop in recent days and they had to get up early for their flight today. He was feeling quite tired.
¡°Take a bread!¡± Xu Yang suggested thoughtfully. ¡°I¡¯ll wake you upter.¡±
Xicheng zipped his clothes and closed his eyes.
All at once, Xu Yang¡¯s phone rang. In fear of disturbing him, Xu Yang answered immediately and even whispered in greeting.
However.
After only listening to a few words, his voice suddenly shot up by two octaves.
¡°What?!... How could that be possible?!¡±
Xicheng, who was asleep, frowned unhappily. Xu Yang hurriedly ended the call and immediately ordered the driver to ¡°go to thepany.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xicheng opened his eyes in doubt.
Xu Yang frowned and answered gravely. ¡°Your new song got leaked.¡±
¡°What?¡± The man slouching on the chair immediately straightened up, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
Chapter 149
Chapter 149: Who can give me an ount?
¡°It¡¯s not clear what¡¯s going on. It¡¯s just known that someone posted your new song onlinest night. Weibo, forums, and all major websites are boiling over it.¡±
Xu Yang¡¯s voice has turned dreadfully heavy.
His new record has already set for release and all distribution channels were waiting. This leak at this point in time meant a huge loss of sales on his new album.
This was the greatest mishap that has befallen Xicheng so far since his debut.
The driver was also in the know of the importance of this matter so he stepped on the elerator. In the back seat, Xicheng tapped on his phone searching for only two words, ¡°Lonely City.¡±
Sure enough, countless websites were pulled out at once.
¡°A great sneak peek on Xicheng¡¯s new song!¡±
¡°Lonely City is flooding the inte. Was this an ident or a hype?¡±
Xichen scrolled down and clicked on a random page. He clicked and quickly clicked on the audio to y it.
The music yed and it was indeed his new song. But this was the pre-produced version which has not yet been remixed.
¡°These bastards!¡±
The car stopped at the Imperial Tower. Gnashing his teeth, Xicheng turned off his mobile phone and strode to the elevator. Xu Yang scurried after him and chasing all the way to the studio dedicated to Xicheng.
In the studio, all relevant personnel were already present, together with the person in charge who was simmering with anger.
¡°How did such a serious thing happen, didn¡¯t you know that thepany will suffer huge losses big time?!¡±
The door was pushed open and Xicheng marched in.
The person in charge could feel the hardening of his scalp at the sight of him.
¡°Mr. Xicheng?¡±
The man¡¯s eyes swept through the crowd with anger.
¡°Who can give an ount?¡±
Everyone bowed their heads and stayed silent.
They were the only ones exposed to the record files. Naturally, they were all suspects to the leak, even if they were all innocent to this whole matter.
¡°Are you all dumb?¡± Xicheng roared.
¡°Mr. Xicheng.¡± The person in charge lost his smile. ¡°Please don¡¯t be impulsive. We are also figuring out where it all went wrong. Have a sit first.¡±
He gave him a chair and faced the crowd once more.
¡°Now, let¡¯s check it out from the source. Little Gang, you¡¯re the audio engineer. The recording was your responsibility. Say your piece.¡±
¡°Assistant Xu personally saw me deleting it. I really... really deleted it.¡¯
¡°Well...That was helpful. Has theputer been repaired?¡± Xu Yang asked.
¡°No.¡± Little Gang answered bitterly, ¡°You also know, this studio was dedicated to Mr. Xicheng. All equipment are the best. Since then, they have never been used.¡±
¡°How is that possible?¡± Xu Yang knitted his brows. ¡°I remember very clearly. I saw you delete it that night, and then Mr. Xicheng took the U disk away...¡±
Having said that, he suddenly turned his face and looked at Xicheng.
Having said that, he suddenly turned his face and looked at Xicheng.
At the same time, Xicheng¡¯s expression also darkened.
Imperial Tower has always been exemry when ites to work confidentiality. These people were all old employees of the studio so it would be impossible for them to overlook these rules.
After the sample was recorded, he file was stored in his U disk andter handed to the sound mixer. Besides them and Ning Xiaofei, no other outsiders have touched the sample.
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s face popped in front of Xicheng¡¯s mind.
His brows snapped together.
No!
It shouldn¡¯t be her.
The release of the sample wouldn¡¯t only affect his sales but would do not good to Ning Xiaofei herself. Furthermore, he has already promised to appear on her show so there was no reason for her to go against him.
Chapter 150
Chapter 150: y with you to the end
Xicheng asked, ¡°Did you find the original publisher?¡±
The person in charge shook his head. ¡°I have informed our legal department to search for the main culprit.¡±
Standing up from the sofa, his eyes swept across the crowd, his gloomy eyes were as the sky before the storm.
¡°If it is any of you, better stand up now. You still have a chance!¡±
¡°Mr. Xicheng!¡± The audio engineer, Little Gang, stood up. ¡°I can guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with me.¡±
¡°Me too!¡± The sound mixer also stood up.
...........
Subsequently, several rted personnel also stood up and vowed seriously.
Xicheng nodded.
¡°Xu Yang, call the police!¡±
It was no big deal for him if the sales of the album was affected. He doesn¡¯t care. He just couldn¡¯t stomach anyone daring to y tricks on him this way.
¡°This...¡± The person in charge frowned. ¡°If you call the police, won¡¯t it have an adverse effect on you? Otherwise, let¡¯s have a meeting and talk about what to do!¡±
Xicheng snapped at Xu Yang.
¡°Are you deaf?¡±
Xu Yang nced at the crowd, tapped his mobile phone and dialed the police hotline.
¡°Hello, I want to report a crime!¡±
In ordance with Xicheng¡¯s record sales, each album at least sold more than a million. Even if it were a sneak peek only, the loss was already in tens of millions.
This invasion of proper was already a crime!
Snapped!
A pen, which Xicheng was ying on his hand, snapped. He gritted his teeth and warned.
¡°Dare to y with me, then I¡¯ll apany you to the end!¡±
...........
TV station.
Ning Xiaofei went into the Ji Mo¡¯s office, ¡°Director, were you looking for me?¡±
¡°As far as I know, the second guest has already been settled. Fengyun Media has signed a confidentiality agreement with the guest. I will not be able to intervene in this regard. You should prepare it yourself.¡±
Ning Xiaofei smiled and nodded. ¡°You can rest assured.¡±
Mu Tianye¡¯s profile has long been checked many times. Not to mention, having a big living person right there, if she had any problems, she would just ask him directly.
¡°Is this yours?¡±
Ji Mo gestured at the hanging pendant at the corner of his table and continued working on some documents. He could tell it was real gold. Because he found it near her seat, he asked Ning Xiaofei.
Ning Xiaofei looked at him askance then on the pendant and shook her head.
¡°No!¡±
¡°Then go to work!¡±
Ji Mo nodded, raised his finger and buried himself into his paper work.
The day of the show was fast approaching. As the director-general, from the most important aspects of the show to the tiniest detail.... he has too much work to do in order to get the best results.
The moment Ning Xiaofei disappeared from the door, Ji Mo raised a hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. He stretched his fingers and gently squeezed the pendant with his fingertips.
For a moment, he unlocked a cab, opened the safe, and took out a photo frame from it.
The photo frame has been around for a few years, and the patent leather around it has been a bit mottled. A pair of a loving couple were framed.
The boy was him, but he was still very young at that time. His face was all smiles, not as mncholy and taciturn as he is now, watching the girl in his arms, tender and doting.
The girl he held in his arms, with long hair and bare thin face, smiled clean and splendid. She was garbed with ordinary clothes, but wearing an expensive DIOR bracelet on her wrist.
That girl wasn¡¯t someone else, but Pei Ruoxi.

Chapter 151
Chapter 151: Proud and dignified
¡°Call Xiao Ning.¡±
Seeing Ning Xiaofeiing out of Ji Mo¡¯s office, Zhang Yue immediately waved to her and handed her the phone.
The call was from a staff from Imperial Tower notifynig her that the contract with Xichen had already gone through and that she had go pick it up.
¡°All right, I will drop by in a minute.¡±
After hanging up the phone, Ning Xiaofei immediately packed up and grabbing her mobile phone on the table, she carried her bag to the front desk.
¡°Sister Song, I¡¯m heading Imperial Tower. If someone looks for me, let them call my phone number.¡±
¡°Xiao Fei!¡± Sister Song immediately ran out from behind the reception desk and grabbed her hand, ¡°When you see Xicheng in a while, you must take good time tofort him. Tell him that his fans have discussed it and we¡¯ll wait for his album release. We will only buy the real edition to support him!¡±
¡°I¡¯m only going to get the contract, not to see him.¡±
Sister Song¡¯s face copsed, ¡°Oh, he must be angry now.¡±
¡°What do you mean?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t know?¡± Xiao Song was outraged. ¡°I don¡¯t know who leaked his new song. Now, everyone¡¯s going crazy online and his record sales will surely be affected,¡± Song said with indignation.
¡°Is that so?¡± Ning Xiaofei¡¯s face wrinkled. ¡°How did that happen?¡±
¡°Who knows who did it. He¡¯s so despicable! I wish he gets run over when he goes out!¡±
¡°Sneeze!¡±
Sister Song¡¯s curse just fell when a heavy sneeze sounded outside the door.
Both turned simultaneously and saw Pei Ruoxi rubbing her nose as she strode in. When she saw Ning Xiaofei, she immediately dropped her hand and marched on her way with her chin high, proud and dignified.
Sister Song rolled her eyes behind her back, but then the phone on the reception desk rang. She went back and received the call, while Ning Xiaofei stepped out of the door.
She took the elevator down and gged down a taxi. When she sat on one, she mulled over what Sister Song said. She tapped on her phone in wonder and keyed a search for ¡°Xicheng¡¯s new song.¡± Countless rted news were pulled out right away.
After browsing and digging into some articles. Ning Xiaofei realized the seriousness of the matter.
When she got off the taxi outside Imperial Tower, a crowd of reporters outside with their guns and cannons were staring unblingkingly at the exit of the building.
When a staff member happened toe out, the reporters swarmed around him.
¡°Excuse me, how is Imperial Tower going to deal with the leak of Xicheng¡¯s new song?
¡°Right, was it an ident?¡±
..........
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m a relevant person on this matter. Noment.¡±
Ning Xiaofei bypassed the reporters into the building. She headed straight to the elevator to the contract department. She couldn¡¯t shake the sudden ominous feeling. With that in mind, she dialed Xu Yang¡¯s number, however, his line was busy.
Ding!
The elevator stopped on the 16th floor. Ning Xiaofei still stood aside when her eyes swept outside and caught sight of someone. She hurriedly blocked the closing of the doors and rushed out.
¡°Assistant Xu!¡±
In the hallway, Xu Yang turned and when he saw her, he immediately met her halfway.
¡°Miss Ning, howe you¡¯re here?¡±
¡°I just dropped by to get the contract and heard about the leak of the new song.¡± Ning Xiaofei frowned. She asked with a bit of concern, ¡°This thing, is it rted to me?¡±
Xu Yang just opened his mouth in response when the door in the next room opened. Xicheng stepped out and seeing Ning Xiaofei, he narrowed his eyes and approached them.
Chapter 152
Chapter 152: Remember to sign an autograph
¡°What are you doing here?¡±
The man¡¯s voice was a little hoarse. His whole face was obviously tired. He must be exhausted, so being caught up with such a thing definitely upset him.
¡°I¡¯ve heard of your song being leaked out. I specifially came over to exin.¡± Ning Xiaofei looked at him apologetically. ¡°I apologize for taking that Udisk that day. However, I have to clear everything up. This thing really has nothing to do with me. I have deleted the backup file and I have not told anyone.¡±
If he suspected her, let the police investigate her!
Xicheng raised his eyebrows. To involve the police, he also have to exin to the top management. He was tired to death so his mood naturally had nowhere to vent.
¡°That¡¯s it?¡±
His annoyance was unmistakable, but still, Ning Xiaofei smiled.
¡°Then, I¡¯ll not bother you any longer. I¡¯ll head out first.¡±
After a few steps in the direction of the elevator, she swung around, looked toward the other end of the corridor and jogged back fast.
¡°Mr. Xicheng!¡±
Xicheng looked back only to see the girl panting in front of him.
¡°I¡¯ve one more thing to tell you. Just when I came out, our receptionist Ms. Song specifically told me to tell you, she and all fans that support you will be your strong backing. They will certainly support your official CD.¡± Without pausing, she added sincerely, ¡°And while I was on my way, I listened to your new song and I liked it very much. It was a great work. I¡¯m sorry for the words I¡¯ve said before. I was just too angry that day and was talking nonsense. I have always thought that you have the heart of a singer.¡±
Looking at her, the girl¡¯s face filled with sincerity, without a bit of concealment and avoidance, then recalling his own misunderstanding and targeting of her before, Xicheng felt inevitably guilty.
The little girl has taken the initiative to apologize to him. How could he still sit on his high horse.
¡°Thank you¡±
After the event, everyone ¨C both thepany and the media ¨C was worried about the impact on album sales and how much he would lose.... and so on.
Ning Xiaofei was the first person to affirm andfort him, and she was more concerned with his music itself than others, and that was the real meaning of his music.
Money?
What he already has was nothing to him.
Meeting his gaze, Ning Xiaofei gently licked her lips, winked yfully and extended her palm.
¡°So, are we reconciled?¡¯
Xicheng smiled and stretched over the palm of his hand and gently shook her little hand.
¡°Of course.¡±
Holding his palm, Ning Xiaofei beamed and retracted her hand.
¡°Goodbye.¡±
Waving goodbye to the two, she walked to the elevator and then again stopped on her tracks.
¡°Mr. Xicheng, remember to sign me an autograph then!¡¯
Back to her, Xicheng raised his right hand and made an OK gesture.
¡°Mr. Xicheng.¡± Xu Yang chased. ¡°You really... believe her?¡±
Xicheng shrugged.
¡°It¡¯s not what she did.¡±
¡°Why?¡±
Why?
Xicheng did not say anything.
He didn¡¯t know why, it was probably just an intuition!
That pair of eyes did not look like she was lying.
¡°These cops are all idiots. Arrange for our people to check, find the original publisher and look up the IP address.¡± The man¡¯s eyes turned heavy, ¡°I want to see who¡¯s trying to y me!¡±
Chapter 153
Chapter 153: More poisonous than a white lotus
The contract that was taken back from Dishi was handed over to the relevant colleagues. Ning Xiaofei returned to the office and saw Zhang Yue packing up and preparing to leave. She asked curiously.
¡°Where are you going?¡±
¡°To the studio.¡±
His answere ignited Ning Xioafei¡¯s spirits. As a neer, she has still much to learn and does not want to stay idle on the sidelines.
¡°Can I go with you, too?¡±
Zhang Yue only looked at Ji Mo, signaling her to ask for permission. Before Ning Xiaofei could open her mouth, Ji Mo took the initiative and handed her a paperbag.
¡°There is a microphone inside, be careful!¡±
¡°Yes, Director Ji!¡±
Ning Xiaofei stretched out her hand and saw the gauze wrapped around it. Ji Mo stiffened.
¡°Is your hand okay?¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright!¡± Ning Xiaofei reached out with her left hand and took the paper bag. ¡°This minor injury won¡¯t hold me down!¡¯
As the three made way to the door, Pei Ruoxi, who was just returning after boiling water for a cup of coffee, saw Ning Xiaofei talking with Ji Mo cheerfully and headed to block to door.
¡°Are you going to the studio?¡±
¡°Yes, Sister Pei. We are going to test the equipment.¡±
¡°Just in time, I tag along too.¡±
She ran into the office, picked up her bag and followed the three into the elevator.
The station attached great importance to this column and arranged the most well-equipped Studio 9 for their exclusive use. After a period of effort, the decorations in the studio were almost in ce.
The stage background painted blue and ck with white sofas were simple, but emit a high-end ambience.
Ning Xiaofei sighed the moment she walked it. ¡°Just how tall are you, was these your design?¡±
Ji Mo replied tly, ¡°The idea was mine, but everyone has put in an effort for this output.¡±
Pei Ruoxi walked right to his side and silently snorted in disdain.
As soon as they entered the studio, everyone immediately split up and took action. Ning Xiaofei also followed behind behind Zhang Yue to help. Whenever she didn¡¯t understand something, she asked.
After several days of rest and recuperation, the wounds on her hands have recovered a lot. Her left hand was basically healed. The wounds on her right hand were slightly heavier, but as long as it doesn¡¯t involve too much work, it was no problem.
When a few people was raising a backboard, Pei Ruoxi who was standing idle on the side ran to hold a part of the iron frame opposite Ji Mo.
Ning Xiaofei threw away the gauze in her hand upon seeing everyone having a hard time and also hurried forward to help.
Ji Mo saw her and immediately forbade her, ¡°There¡¯s no need for your help. Your hand is hurt. Don¡¯t let it get worse.¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine!¡± Ning Xiaofei ran over to hold the iron frame beside Ji Mo. Pei Ruoxi on the other side sneered coldly and deliberately loosened her hold. The sudden increase of weight in her hands was too much for Ning Xiaofei to support and she was forced to kneel down on the steps.
¡°Be careful!¡± Ji Mo reached over and supported the iron frame with his body. Then he turned his face and looked at Ning Xiaofei, who was kneeling down on the steps. ¡°Are you okay?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Ning Xiaofei forced a smile and stood up to help once more.
After several people finally lifted the backboard and installed it, Ning Xiaofei noticed a huge scratch on Ji Mo¡¯s arm. She immediately reached out and held his arm.
¡°Fast, Director Ji is hurt!¡±
Several people also gathered round and seeing the deep scratch on his arm, everyone sighed with concern.
On the other side, when Pei Ruoxi saw his wounded arm, she rushed over and pushed Ning Xiaofei¡¯s arm away. She grabbed Ji Mo¡¯s arm and took out a handkerchief from her pocket and pressed on the wound.
¡°What are you waiting for? Get the car ready!¡±

Chapter 154
Chapter 154: Husband, what¡¯s your order
¡°It¡¯s only a minor skin injury. It¡¯s nothing!¡±
Pei Ruoxi uhurriedly pulled him up, ¡°What nothing, there¡¯s rust on the iron frame, what if you¡¯re infected with tetanus?¡±
As Ji Mo¡¯s eyes swept across her face, his eyes fell on her wrist. Her spring dress only revealed a tip of the bracelet, which he recognized was the one she had given him.
Troubled by this discovery, Ji Mo spaced out for a moment.
This time, Ning Xiaofei has already brought his coat over. ¡°Director Ji, can you put this on?¡±
Pei Ruoxie reached for it and snatched it out of her hand while ming her, ¡°Unable to do anything right!¡±
Ning Xiaofei was also well aware that Ji Mo was injured just to support her hold onto the irone frame. She bowed apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry Director Ji. ¡°
¡°It¡¯s not your fault.¡± Ji Mo snapped back to his senses and smiled gently at her. ¡°Zhang Yue will apany you. Be careful with the drawings on the table. If there¡¯s anything wrong, call me at any time.¡±
¡°Okay!¡± Ning Xiaofei turned to Zhang Yue, ¡°Then be careful on your way.¡±
After sending the three people away, she sighed in relief. She took the drawings of Ji Mo from the table, directed the workers to carry out the stage decoration, ran east to west, helped fetch the nails and tools...
There were all busy until it was getting dark. Theyout of the show was finallypleted.
She took out her mobile phone and took a panoramic shot of it. She was about to send it to Ji Mo to let him see where he was not satisfied when Mu Tianye¡¯s phone call reached her.
Seeing the caller¡¯s name ¡°Yan Wangye¡± on the screen, Ning Xiaofei immediately swiped to the answer button. Sheposed herself before cheefully saying: ¡°Husband, what¡¯s your order?¡±
On the other side of the phone, the man smiled softly.
¡°The driver is on his way. He¡¯ll first pick you up to the hospital for a change of bandage, and then take you here for dinner.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t bother. My injury is almost healed. I¡¯ll just buy a few more band-aids...
The man¡¯s breathing sank.
¡°Have I asked for your opinion?¡±
¡°Hey, dont¡¯ get angry. I¡¯ll go...Why shouldn¡¯t I go there?!¡± NIng Xiaofei immediately changed her tune. ¡°Where are we having dinner? Do I have to dress up?¡±
¡°No need to.¡±
¡°Okay, see youter!¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
The moment the man hang up.
¡°What a bully!¡±
Ning Xiaofei made face on her phone and turned around just in time to see Ji Mo. She hurriedly kept her phone and greeted him.
¡°Director, is your injury okay?¡¯
Pei Ruoxi cut into the conversation and sneaked in, ¡°You think you will be alright with seven stitches!¡±
¡°It¡¯s not that serious. The doctor said it¡¯s just a minor skin trauma. I got a tetanus shot. I just need a rest for a few days.¡± Ji Mo turned to look at the main stage and nodded with satisfaction, ¡°Hmm... Well done, this is the effect I want.¡±
Taking a closer look around and making sure that everything was done ording to the design, Ji Mo once again nodded with a smile.
¡°Everyone has worked hard. Let¡¯s call it day and continue tomorrow!¡±
¡°Do you want me to send you back?¡± Pei Ruoxi offered.
¡°No, I¡¯ll check the lights and the wiring.¡±
Ji Mo declined and took Zhang Yue to the main control room.
Pei Ruoxi pursed her lips and swiveled around, leaving with her high heels resounding on the floor
Ning Xiaofei was helping the staff pack up the tools, just as the driver¡¯s called to inform her that the he was at the door.
¡°Okay, I will be out soon!¡±
Ning Xiaofei waved goodbye to the staff and quickly stepped out of the the broadcast hall.
It just so happened that Pei Ruoxi was driving her car out of the garage and saw Ning Xiaofei. She subconsciously followed her figure and saw Ning Xiaofei getting in a low-key and luxurious ck long Mercedes.
She slowed down, watching as the car with Ning Xiaofei got lost into the traffic. Pei Ruoxi raised her lips and sneered.
¡°It turns out that you are just a caged bird!¡±

Chapter 155: Dare make eyes at her man
After a few days of rest and recuperation, Ning Xiaofei¡¯s hand injury has also recovered a lot. The lighter injury on her left hand was basically healed and needed no bandaging. Her right hand was injured deeper and heavier so the doctor helped her change the medicine and wrapped it back in a gauze.
Out of the hospital, the driver sent her straight to the Jiufu Building.
Zhou Tao was alredy waiting at the entrance. When he saw Ning Xiaofei, he immediately came over and led her upstairs.
¡°Who am I having dinner with?¡±
While standing in the elevator, Ning Xiaofei asked curiously.
¡°Mr. Mu and a few people from your family.¡±
Zhou Tao replied honestly.
When Ning Xiaofei heard it, she frowned.
In just a few moments, the two arrived.
Sure enough, in addition to Grandpa Mu and Mu Tianye, on the table also sat her grandfather, the family of three and her uncle, Ji Zichuan.
Grandpa Mu called gently, ¡°Xiaofei, you¡¯re here. Come sit!¡±
¡°Good. Thank you Grandpa.¡± Ning Xiaofei went to the vacant space beside Mu Tianye, greeted her grandfather, nodded to Ji Zichuan and greeted the others.
Aunt Baiqiu Ling immediately forced a smile, ¡°Hey, it¡¯s only been a few days that I haven¡¯t seen Feifei and she¡¯d grown even more beautiful.¡±
Jealousy was eating at Ji Jing¡¯s heart, but she too, smiled, ¡°Yeah, being doted by Chief Mu everyday, naturally the longer the more beautiful. I¡¯m really envious of my sister!¡±
A pair of eyes fell on Mu Tianye¡¯s face. Her mouth was talking but her eyes were tantly offering more than goodwill.
Shameless, she dare flirt with her man before her eyes?!
Ning Xiaofei pouted and deliberately dragged her chair closer to Mu Tianye. She took a seat and immediately hugged one of his arms.
¡°Husband, was work busy today?¡±
¡°Not bad.¡± Mu Tianye reached for her left wrist and looked at the wound on the back of her hand. ¡°What about your right hand?¡±
Ning Xiaofei muttered acting like a spoiled child. ¡°It still hurts a little. The doctor said the gauze can be removed in a few days. I am so scared. Husband, if you have time, apany me back, okay?¡¯
¡°Okay.¡±
Mu Tianye agreed readily.
Sending a provocative look at Ji Jing, Ning Xiaofei turned sideways and gave him another smile.
¡°Thank you, husband.¡±
¡°Cough!¡± Opposite them, Grandpa Ji gently coughed, ¡°Xiaofei, pay attention to the asion!¡±
Grandpa Mu on the other hand chuckled with indulgence, ¡°It¡¯s a good thing for young couples to get close to each other! Start serving!¡±
Zhou Tao responded with a gesture to the waiter. Soon, the food was served on the table, and Zhou Tao helped several people to pour the wine.
¡°Come on!¡± Grandpa Mu held up a wine ss and extended it to Grandpa Ji. ¡°Seeing these two children being harmonious is also a matter of my heart. This ss is my respect to my rtives by marriage.¡±
¡°You¡¯re too polite.¡±
¡°Right, it¡¯s us who should give you respect!¡±
.......
The Ji Family followed each other in their boot-licking, but Grandpa Ji regarded his son with displeasure. He really is disappointed with this son.
Later, Grandpa Ji also raised a ss and clinked sses with Grandpa Mu.
¡°Xiaofei, this child has always been not sensible. If she has done anything wrong, please bear with them!¡¯
¡°Howe, I think Feifei is quite sensible.¡± Grandpa Mu smiled, ¡°Here, cheers!¡±
Everyone drank wine, and even Ning Xiaofei also took a little sip.
She knew her alcohol tolerance wasn¡¯t up to par so she only took a sip. Naturally, she wasn¡¯t going to embarrass herself in front of the Ji Family.
¡°Here, Chief Mu, have a taste of this!¡± Ji Jing picked up a scallop on the te in front of her, and sent it to Mu Tianye¡¯s te across Ning Xiaofei. After doing so, she castigated herself, ¡°Look at me, we are all family and I¡¯m still calling you Chief Mu. So,ter on, can I call you Tianye ge?¡±
¡°Right, a family shouldn¡¯t sound so estranged!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right!¡±
The Ji family immediately seconded.

Chapter 156: Shirk responsibility after ying
Tianye ge?
Ning Xiaofei suddenly got goosebumps, ¡°If you say so, then you going to call me sister-inw. Isn¡¯t that a mess? Let¡¯s just keep it the way it is. Otherwise, it would be awkward! Don¡¯t you think so, husband?¡±
Mu Tianye swayed the ss with his left hand.
¡°Right, well said.¡±
Ning Xiaofei immediately smiled back at him, if not for so many people, she¡¯d really want to kiss him.
Her husband is really awesome!
¡°This kind of scallop is rich in cholesterol. My husband should drink something light. Here, husband, eat this!¡±
She actively clipped a piece of food and sent it to his mouth.
Humph!
She¡¯s just going infuriate these cheap people!
On the other side, Ji Jing, who was so angry, but could only grit her teeth, had to work hard to suppress the anger that¡¯s on the verge of blowing up from her lungs.
On several asions, Ning Xiaofei got in the way of their bootlicking. The family of three had been thinking of taking this opportunity to ask Mu Tianye for help. But since they couldn¡¯t steal a way to start, they could only eat.
Of course, Mu Tianye had no interest in this kind of meal. Ning Xiaofei had to y cute from time to time and feeling the soft buns that brushed against his arm, his mind swerved like a cantering horse.
¡°Zhou Tao, checkout, get the car ready, I am a little tired.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Zhou Tao responded and walked out at once.
Zhou...Zhou Tao?
When Ning Xiaofei heard his name, her eyebrows jumped. She only knew that Mu Tianye¡¯s assistant was surnamed Zhou and has never asked for his full name.
Momentster, Zhou Tao went and returned, informing Mu Tianye that they can leave.
The Ji family busily got up to send them off, but Mu Tianye waved his hand in refusal. Ning Xiaofei¡¯s heart was now in a mess so she forgot to bid farewell.
When they were taking the elevator downstairs, she quietly looked at Zhou Tao¡¯s face.
¡°Assistant Zhou, I have never asked before, what year were you born?¡±
Zhou Tao replied and Ning Xiaofei immediately shuddered. The year of birth on the ID card that she had copied before was exactly the same year!
Sitting downstairs in the car, Ning Xiaofei¡¯s heart was in a tremendous muddle as she quietly sneaked a peek at Zhou Tao several times.
Was it him that day?!
But... hasn¡¯t this guy always been acting normal with her?
Was it because he knew that she is Mu Tianye¡¯s woman so he dare not reveal anything?
At the same moment, Zhou Tao received a phone call. He turned around and faced Mu Tianye.
¡°Chief mu, a fax from the American side has been sent.¡±
Mu Tianye frowned.
¡°Head to thepany.¡±
The car changed course towards Mu Building. The three headed towards Mu Tianye¡¯s office and Zhou Tao brought the fax to him. While Mu Tianye was carefully looking through the documents, he turned to look at Ning Xiaofei.
¡°Youngdy, what do you want to drink?
¡°That... Do you have coffee?¡±
¡°Please wait!¡±
Zhou Tao smiled and walked to the pantry beside the president¡¯s office.
Seeing that Mu Tianye was focused on the documents, Ning Xiaofei rose cursorily and followed Zhou Tao to the pantry.
After looking at him up and down at him, she came forward. ¡°Is assistant Zhou born in September?¡±
Zhou Tao turned around in surprise. ¡°Yeah, how did you know?¡±
Ning Xiaofei was so angry, but she could only grind her teeth, ¡°You... you tell me honestly, do you have AIDS?¡¯
Zhou Tao waspletely baffled, ¡°Madam, you... what do you mean?¡±
¡°What do I mean?¡± Ning Xiaofei grabbed his cor and pressed Zhou Tao against the wall. ¡°You¡¯re asking what I mean. Are you telling me you¡¯re going to wash your hands of your wrongdoing after ying. You¡¯d better tell me right away, or else I¡¯ll tell Mu Tianye. See if you will be able to shoulder the consequences!¡±
Behind them, the door was pulled open, and Mu Tianye nced at Ning Xiaofei, who pressed Zhou Tao on the wall.
¡°What are you doing?!¡±

Chapter 157
Chapter 157: I don¡¯t like you lying to me.
The man¡¯s low voice was like a thunderbolt, frying Ning Xiaofei on a perfectly sunny day, she immediately released Zhou Tao and panicked.
¡°We are...we are... nothing, right, Assistant Zhou!¡±
With that, she sent Zhou Tao a piercing re.
Damned pervert, if he dared sell her out, she¡¯ll kill him!
¡°Zhou Tao!¡±
Mu Tianye¡¯s tone sank dangerously low.
¡°Uhm...¡± Zhou Tao raised his eyebrows in a dilemma. ¡°Just now, madam asked me if...if I have AIDS. I also want to know, what is she up to?¡±
After so many years with Mr. Mu, of course, he knows a lot about this man¡¯s character. So even if he doesn¡¯t understand what¡¯s going on, in this case, he knows that telling the truth is the best option.
What¡¯s this mess?!
Mu Tianye¡¯s eyes slid to Ning Xiaofei¡¯s face.
¡°That, I...¡± Ning Xiaofei wished she could tear Zhou Tao into pieces, but she dared not lose her smile in the ce. ¡°This... it¡¯s for.... the health of my husband. Just in case he has an infectious disease, wouldn¡¯t he infect you...right?¡±
Just a nce at her toes, Mu Tianye could tell that she was lying. He walked up to her step by step.
¡°I...¡± Ning Xiaofei didn¡¯t dare look him in the eyes, ¡°I...¡±
If she were to tell him the truth, he¡¯ll definitely kill her!
Raising a fiinger, Mu Tianye tipped her chin up to meet his gaze.
¡°I don¡¯t like you lying to me.¡±
Ning Xiaofei trembled along with this voice.
Dwelling deep in the man¡¯s eyes was displeasure, the emotion deep within them also shook her heart with guilt.
Thinking of his kindness, her heart was filled with remorse.
If she were to choose again, she would have definitely not drunk alcohol that day and would have never done anything out of ce.
If she were to choose again, she would rather give her the first time to Mu Tianye
..........
However, there is no such thing in this world.
¡°I... I really can¡¯t say it.¡±
Looking at her pale face, Mu Tianye¡¯s tone remained calm.
¡°Say it, I can forgive you!¡±
Ning Xiaofei was moved, but her guilt filled her heart.
¡°Husband... I¡¯m sorry.¡±
If it were something else, she would never hesitate. But how was she to say this kind of betrayal?
¡°Good!¡± Mu Tianye pinched her chin with his fingers a little bit tightly, ¡°Very well!¡±
He¡¯d been so nice to her. In order not to make things difficult for her on her show, he participated. He even went along with her knowing that she was trying to get back at the Ji Family.....
With all these considered, he couldn¡¯t even get a word of truth from her. Mu Tianye chest was somewhat stuffed.
Ning Xiaofei couldn¡¯t help but cry out when her chin was almost crushed by him.
On the side, Zhou Tao noticed her difort and immediately called his attention.
¡°Chief Mu, the young madam will be hurt!¡±
Mu Tianye snapped back to his senses and jerked his fingers back. Capturing her eyes brimming with tears, he took a deep breath, raised his fist and punched the wine cab above her head.
With a bang, the ss door outside the wine cab shattered, and the debris crashed into the ground. Blood stains were clearly visible on some fragments.
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s face turned white and she instinctively shrank back and covered her head.
Mu Tianye drew his fist soaked in blood back.
¡°Get out!¡±
Thinking that the punch was meant for her face, Ning Xiaofei slowly brought her arms down. Her eyes inadvertently fell on the wine rack and immediately saw the bright red stains on the tips of some sses.
She turned her face to look at Mu Tianye¡¯s palm, and saw that the man¡¯s fist was bleeding.
Without thinking about it, she stretched out her hands and grabbed his wrist. Her chest suddenly tightened watching as blood seeped down from the man¡¯s fist.
¡°Zhou Tao, go get the first aid kit!¡±
¡°Go away!¡±
Mu Tianye pulled his arm out from her hold and walked out of the kitchen.

Chapter 158
Chapter 158: If you¡¯re a man, get the hell out of there.
Ning Xiaofei grabbed a towel from the shelf and chased the man into the bathroom, who quickly mmed the door close.
¡°Hus...¡± Ning Xiaofei rushed after him and almost came face to face with the door panel. She reached out and twisted the doorknob without unscrewing it. Instead, her palm felt a sticky substance. She looked down and was rmed.
The knob was covered with a piercing red liquid, even the gauze wrapped around her hand was soaked.
So much blood?!
Worried about Mu Tianye, Ning Xiaofei couldn¡¯t care less, and was busy twisting the doorknob.
¡°Husband, calm down. It doesn¡¯t matter if you get angry at me. Youe out first, let¡¯s go to the hospital.¡±
¡°I know I did wrong. You can hit me, you can yell at me, just open the door!¡±
¡°I beg you, can you open the door?¡±
.........
She admitted her to her wrongs and pled without getting any response from the man. In frustration, she turned to Zhou Tao who was standing idly by.
¡°Have you thought of a way?¡±
Zhou Tao looked helpless. His boss was obviously angry. What could he do?
¡°You...I¡¯ll settle with youter!¡± Ning Xiaofei snarled at him then turned around edgily to face the door once more.¡± After a short deliberation, she bit her lips, ¡°Mu Tianye, listen to me clearly. You want to know the truth, right? Okay... Just open the door and I¡¯ll tell you right now!¡±
¡°Mu Tianye, did you hear me? You¡¯re a coward! What are you hiding in the toilet for? If you¡¯re a man, get the hell out of there!¡±
¡°Mu...¡±
Immersed in her coaxing, she opened her mouth to say more when the bathroom door was thrown wide by the man.
Ning Xiaofei raised her palm and almost hit him.
The man¡¯s heavy face hit her eyes.
¡°Say it!
¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital first!¡±
Ning Xiaofei grabbed his arm, but was held back by his other arm.
¡°Say it!¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll say it!¡± Ning Xiaofei bit her teeth, ¡°I....I.... I cheated on you!¡±
Big deal, at most, she¡¯d be driven out, beaten and cursed by him. She¡¯ll take all of them upon herself.
Instead of sneaking and hiding and bearing the stone in her heart that seemed to copse at any moment, and feeling ashamed of herself in front of him whenever she thinks about it, days spent in such a manner.... she¡¯d had enough, too.
Cheated?!
Mu Tianye¡¯s fingers tightened.
¡°With whom?¡±
Ning Xiaofei raised her hand and pointed at Zhou Tao.
¡°Him!¡±
How could this pervert, who disguised himself as a gentleman but dared to sleep with her boss¡¯s woman, be an assistant to Mu Tianye. Someday, he would sell him out!
Before she was thrown out, she must expose this hypocrite and let Mu Tianye know what his assistant was really like.
Zhou Tao, who had been standing beside her, was stunned and was unsure what to do. When he saw Ning Xiaofei pointing to himself, he was frightened out of his wits.
¡°Madam....you...please don¡¯t spit blood! venomous nder
¡°Don¡¯t y dumb!¡± Ning Xiaofei sneered. ¡°Don¡¯t think that dressing up like a dog everyday, other¡¯s won¡¯t know that you are a perverted hypocrite. I¡¯ll expose your real color today!¡±
¡°I...¡± Zhou Tao couldn¡¯t look even more innocent. ¡°How could I be a hypocrite, no... Madam, please don¡¯t tell stories without any evidence....this ... This kind of thing isn¡¯t something you can joke about!¡±
If she were a man, believe it or not, he¡¯d have chopped him to pieces.
¡°Evidence?¡±Ning Xiaofei grinned coldly, ¡°XXXX, Zhou Tao, Room 609, Longting Hotel. You dare say that you¡¯re not the one who spent the night in the room with me?¡±
Longting Hotel?
Spent the night!
Zhou Tao frowned and run the name through his mind. Looking at Mu Tianye then at Ning Xiaofei, he finally understood what was going on. His lips twitched and suddenly burst intoughter.
TLN: Poor Zhou Tao.. hahahahha

Chapter 159
Chapter 159: Super ultimate pervert
¡°You damned pervert, you stillugh! Taking advantage of others¡¯ perilous state, swindling a good woman, what skills you have! If I hadn¡¯t gotten drunk that day, believe me, i would have cut that.... castrated you...¡± Her whole face was bright red, unable to say the word in embarrassment, but still, she fumed with rage between gritted teeth at Zhou Tao. ¡°Anyway... I won¡¯t let you go!¡±
Feeling the cold eyes cast by his boss, Zhou Tao worked hard to hold on to his crazed cheeks.
¡°Get out!¡±
Mu Tianye squeezed the words out of his teeth.
Zhou Tao has already figured things out. With Mu Tianye¡¯s intelligence, he of course picked up on it.
¡°I¡¯ll get lost right away!¡± Ning Xiaofei moved a step, but was restrained by the man¡¯s hand on her wrist. She swung around, angry and wronged, ¡°You told me to get out of here, why are you still pulling me?¡±
¡°Chief Mu, I¡¯ll go out first!¡±
Beside them, Zhou Tao smirked heartily and quickly retired fromhis office.
Seeing that the chief ¡°culprit¡± escaped, Ning Xiaofei was only anxious.
¡°Hey, you damned pervert, stop right there! I¡¯m telling you, I¡¯m not going to let you go, this freak. I¡¯m going to put a brand on you, S [sadist]. The next time you hook up for a one night stand, I curse you¡¯ll suffer from AIDS so you¡¯ll never perform in this lifetime, impotent....¡±
The more Mu Tianye listened, the more outrageous her next lines were. His face couldn¡¯t help but turn unsightly.
¡°Okay, enough!¡±
¡°What enough, you don¡¯t even know how he treated me that night, he made me...¡± She pursed her lips, ¡°Anyway, he¡¯s a super ultimate pervert!¡±
Having said that, she suddenly stopped and looked at Mu Tianye doubtfully.
Howe this man¡¯s face didn¡¯t seem angry at all?
¡°You... are you not angry with me?¡±
Stupid!
Mu Tianye was both angry and amused.
¡°Didn¡¯t I say that as long as you tell me the truth, I¡¯ll forgive you.¡±
¡°But......¡±
Ning Xiaofei frowned, this sort of betrayal... can he forgive?
Whatever, she needs to take care of his injuries first.
She lifted his palm and looked at his ¡°injured¡± right hand. She noticed that the man¡¯s right hand was clean with but a few minor scratches.
¡°No, your hand...¡± Ning Xiaofei inspected his hand carefully down to his wrist. In addition to those scratches, there wasn¡¯t any serious wounds. Raising her right hand, she stared skeptically at the blood on the gauze wrapped around her right hand. ¡°Uhm... Where did all this bloode from?¡±
Mu Tianye lifted her wrist and took a sniff.
The scent of wine was quite pungent.
¡°Right... red wine?!¡±
Only then did Ning Xiaofei realized. When he hit the wine cab and knocked over the bottles of red wines inside, his hand were stained with the wine. In her anxiety, she has mistaken it for blood.
The reason Mu Tianye went into the bathroom was to wash off the wine on his hand.
Having thought that he was badly hurt as his hand as the floor was covered with blood, Ning Xiaofei jerked away from him in anger.
¡°Bastard, you scared the hell out of me!¡±
She turned to leave, and Mu Tianye reached for her arm.
¡°Where are you going?¡±
Ning Xiaofei patted and raised her face, taking a deep breath, she forcibly smiled and resisted the urge to cry.
¡°I thought you told me to get out of here. The farther, the better.¡±
Marrying him was nothing more than a matter of expediency.
Ning Xiaofei had long made up her mind. As long as her mother¡¯s grave was sessfully relocated, she¡¯d flee from this marriage and leave, run far and nevere back.
This world is so big. There would always be a ce for her.
But now that the time hase, this heartwrenching pain was really unexpected!
¡°Stupid!¡± Mu Tianye pulled her back and pensively embraced her in his arms. ¡°Leaving without my permission, do you want me to break your leg, huh?¡±

Chapter 160
Chapter 160: You...... You bastard!
With Mu Tianye¡¯s arms around her, Ning Xiaofei instinctively stretched her arms and wrapped it around the man¡¯s arms, then dissolved in tear uncontrobly.
¡°Husband, I really didn¡¯t mean ... I... I regret it... I... I would rather... I¡¯d rather be you that night, and I didn¡¯t want... Not that pervert!¡±
Choking up, she could hardly finish a sentence.
Too much grievances have piled up in her heart, too much regret....
Clutching the man¡¯s clothes, she finally lost control andpletely let herself go.
Hearing her sobbing, Mu Tianye¡¯s brows furrowed. He raised a big hand and tipped her little head up. Seeing the tears in her eyes, his furrowed brows deepend even more.
Raising his hands, he tried to dry her tears.
¡°Don¡¯t cry.¡±
Against his expectation, the damned girl seemed to have opened the floodgates and more tears run down her cheeks. The more he rubbed, the more she cried her heart out. In his frustration, he roared.
¡°Stop crying!¡±
Ning Xiaofei muffled her cries and tried hard to hold back her tears, but the man was still upset.
¡°Stupid!¡± Mu Tianye grunted. He turned and pulled a towel and wiped her face clean. He raised his hands once more and fixed the messy hair scattered on her forehead and softlyforted, ¡°Stop it, I forgive you.¡±
Er?!
Ning Xiaofei, who had been waiting for the man¡¯s thunder, was so surprised with what she heard that she forgot to breathe.
With wide eyes fixed at him, she scrutinized the man¡¯s face unconvincedly.
Pardon?!
Thest time she lied to him, he almost strangled her to death. But now that she has put a green hat on him, she was forgiven so easily.
And what¡¯s with that gloating twinkle in his eyes, why did he look happy?
¡°Husband? You...don¡¯t you mind if I...I cheat on you?¡±
Cheat?
Mu Tianye gave her a death stare.
¡°You dare!¡±
All he was saying was that he forgives her for her drunkenness that night, but that didn¡¯t mean she could really but not for having cheated on him.
If this damned girl dares to deviate from his orbit by an inch, he¡¯d kill her!
Ning Xiaofei became more and more confused. A moment ago, he said he has forgiven her, then in a sh, he has lost his temper. When all is said and done, this ordinary being couldn¡¯t really touch this Buddha¡¯s mind. She yelled at him anxiously.
¡°Mu Tianye, you have to say things clearly... You.. What the hell do you want me to do?¡±
This damned girl, has bellowing in rage became her habit?
Mu Tianye held her chin up with his hand, and lowered his face to meet her eyes.
¡°That night, it was me who was with you in that room!¡±
¡°That...¡± Ning Xiaofei blinked and suddenly understood, ¡°You mean... You were that pervert who made me so sore?¡±
No wonder he wasn¡¯t angry at all, it was him!
She did say that if she really did wear a green hat on him, how could he not be angry.
She pushed him away indignantly.
¡°Mu Tianye, you...You bastard!¡±
These recent days, she¡¯d been eaten by guilt and was scared that she¡¯d contracted AIDS. She was beside herself of him knowing the truth. In order not to let him know, she even pretended to have had her aunt and was almost strangled to death by him....
The better he treated her, the more guilty she felt, and the result?
No wonder Zhou Taoughed it off strangely. It turned out that the culprit wasn¡¯t him. Andter, she... How is she going to face Zhou Tao?!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt. She can¡¯t lose anymore face...
She turned around with a grunt and walked away.
This damned girl, has her temper grown big?!
¡°Stop!¡±
Ning Xiaofei continued to leave.
¡°Come back.¡±
Ning Xiaofei kept her head forward and continued on her way.
¡°Ning Xiaofei, don¡¯t win an inch, then want a foot!¡±
Ning Xiaofei finally stopped and swung around to face him.
¡°It¡¯s all your fault. You should apologize to me.¡±

Chapter 161
Chapter 161: I¡¯ll never leave you alone again.
The man raised his eyebrows, ¡°You¡¯re stupid.¡±
How would he have known that in her drunkenness, she couldn¡¯t even recall who he was.
¡°You!¡± Ning Xiaofei quiverred with anger. ¡°You¡¯re a chancer.¡±
Recalling the way she smiled at others at the bar that day, Mu Tianye got mad, ¡°I¡¯m certainly nothing like you. Hopping bars to hook up for a one night stand. I slept with my own wife.¡±
¡°You!¡±Her face flushed red, her anger now mixed with embarrassment, but she refused to give up. ¡°Huh! You did book a room with your wife then after sleeping, left her on her own. I¡¯m not a call girl!¡±
Mu Tianye chuckled and lost his majesty in an instant.
His eyes skimmed over Ning Xiaofei who was panting with rage by the entrance of the office and shifted the topic abruptly.
¡°Bring me the Band-Aids in the cab!¡±
The man suddenly shifted the topic and Ning Xiaofei obeyed instinctively. She rushed to open the cab and flipped the things inside for the band-aids.
¡°Show me your hands, let¡¯s me see if there are any ss shards.¡±
The moment her hand touched his wrist, his other hand grabbed her and flung her into his arms. Mu Tianye raised his right hand and pinched her small chin.
Damned girl, ying tricks on him, she¡¯s still tender!
¡°Granted this is merely the case, but there¡¯s no next time!¡±
This time was by pure lucky coincidence. Otherwise, a young fool like her was sold by others, he¡¯s afraid she¡¯d even help them count the money.
Ning Xiaofei knew he was up to something and tried to counter it, but the man sealed her lips and upied them with vengeance.
From the time he took her out of the restaurant, he¡¯d been wanting to kiss her. This damned girl has caused him to waste a cab of good wine, of course, there should bepensation.
This kiss, one of which was fiery, was full of urgency and aggression.
The bandaid in Ning Xioafei¡¯s hand was left unnoticed. It flew in the air, twirling as itnded on the floor where the twos¡¯ shadows were reflected.
By this time, the shadows on the floor had already formed into one, and it was impossible to tell which was her or him!
At first, she had wanted to resist, but her little hands which pushed meaninglessly a few times were covered by the man¡¯s bigger ones and raised over his shoulders.
The man¡¯s voice reached her ears, domineeringly low.
¡°Hold me!¡±
His scorching palms reached below the hem of her dress and brushed agains her skin. Not giving her a chance to refute, the man¡¯s lips once again imed her lips.
With their mouths glued together, their skin brushed against each other tightly, and every stroke from his palms left her whole body blushing....
Everying swallowed her reasoning quickly. The man was too intense and would always easily master her at any time.
Ning Xiaofei couldn¡¯t help but gasp and fall into her instincts, locking her arms around him.
Unable to wait getting her into the lounge, Mu Tianye pulled her dress off and lifted her into the air with little effort.
Pinning her against the wall, he moved an inch away from her lips to gasp for breath.
¡°In the future, I will never leave you alone!¡±
He wasn¡¯t used to sweet talking and didn¡¯t know how to exin his favor to this girl, and the word apology has never been in his dictionary....
Mu Tianye could only express his concern for her in his own way.
Even he didn¡¯t notice that the girl had already refreshed his bottomline as the ¡®Yan Wangye¡¯ again and again.
From indulging her when she lied to him, and now even for yelling at him, he could easily forgive....
You must know that the overlord in the business world would never tolerate anyone from exining half a word!

Chapter 162
Chapter 162: The tallest ce in A city.
By the time Ning Xioafei recovered from the man¡¯s passion, she finally became aware of where at. She looked at the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, and her little heart jumped in shock.
The windows were wide open, the doors were unlocked and the lights were bright...
What a great shame if someone were to see them!
¡°This is the tallest ce in City A. No one will see us.¡± The man read her thoughts at a nce. She carried her into the bathroom, stood under the shower head and while hugging her, reached out to turn on the tap. After controlling the water temperature, he lifted her injured right hand and stood with her under the water.
¡°Your hands!¡±
¡°I am not as fragile as you are.¡±
Mu Tianye raised his right hand casually and delivered it before her eyes.
Sure enough, just a few scratches, and the blood clot has long condensed, there was no major problem.
Mu Tianye has always paid attention to fitness and has even been trained in professionalbat to prevent idents. As a man whose physical fitness was as important as anything, of course he¡¯s a first-ss man who¡¯d love himself.
Feeling the nicks on the man¡¯s palm, Ning Xioafei opened her mouth in embarrassment.
¡°I... I¡¯ll wash by myself!¡±
The man ignored her. He washed her clean, dried her whole body with a huge towel and finally fastened a bathrobe around her. He lifted her up and sat her on the bathroom countertop, grabbed the hair dryer and blow dry her hair.
The man hasn¡¯t showered yet. His whole body was left with droplets of water and not knowing where she should look at, Ning Xiaofei decided to shut her eyes.
Until the man she could wait for him outside, she exited the bathroom in a daze as if granted reprieve. At the bustling nigh view through the windows, she walked out to the terrace.
At this hour in spring, the breath of summer was blowing subtly.
Standing on the city¡¯s tallest building overlooking the city¡¯s night view, all its splendor was at its best.
It was the first time she had stood in such a high ce to enjoy the view of the city.
Sure enough, different angles offer different scenery. It was like stepping on a whole new world....
¡°Come in.¡±
Behind her came the man¡¯s voice. Ning Xiaofei whirled around and saw a neatly dressed Mu Tianye standing behind her.
¡°Come and look, it¡¯s beautiful!¡±
Mu Tianye stared at the ce where she settled and immediately frowned.
¡°Come in now!¡±
When Ning Xiaofei turned her back, Mu Tianye gently lifted his chin.
¡°Get dressed. I¡¯m calling Zhou Tao in.¡±
¡°No!¡±
Ning Xiaofei immediately grabbed his arm
¡°No!¡±
At this moment, Zhou Tao is thest person she wants to see.
¡°We... let¡¯s just go back by taxi. It¡¯s sote, don¡¯t bother Assistant Zhou. Husband!¡±
She swayed Mu Tianye¡¯s arm and pleaded. Only when he gave up and put his phone back into his pocket did she ran into the office bedroom.
Mu Tianye had no women¡¯s clothing stored, and her clothes were ripped apart by him, so she could wear his clothes.
She resembled a child stealing clothes from grownups with the oversized shirt and zer she chose. When Ning Xiaofei walked out from the bedroom holding onto the trousers that kept on sliding down, Mu Tianye gave a suppressedugh.
Ignoring the man¡¯sughter. Keeping the trousers stuck with one hand, she tried to drag him by the arm to the terrace with the other excitedly.
¡°Look at it, it¡¯s so beautiful!¡±
The man stayed put as a nail.
¡°What¡¯s there to look at? We should go.¡±
Ning Xiaofei looked wishfully at the terrace and mumbled, ¡°Of course, you¡¯d be bored if you¡¯re looking at it everyday!¡±

Chapter 163
Chapter 163: Sneak as if they¡¯re on a ndestine affair
Mu Tianye nced at the terrace without any sound.
In fact, even though the building has beenpleted for four years, he has never stepped onto the terrace.
This is his secret!
The two walked out of the office together and took the elevator downstairs. Ning Xiaofei resembled a thiefgging behind him in an oversized unfitting suit.
Noticing her embarrassment, Mu Tianye called the security manager on duty and ordered him to let the security guards vacate the lobby.
Despite this, when passing through the lobby, Ning Xiaofei still embodied that of a thief, pulling him as they run all the way out of the lobby.
Mu Tianye merely knit his brows.
He¡¯s sleeping with his own woman, but she¡¯s making it look like they¡¯re carrying on a ndestine tryst!
¡°Hurry up!¡±
She urged in a whisper, but the man pulled her back to a stop.
¡°Is being my woman so humiliating?!¡±
With so many women aspiring to be his lover, it¡¯s just right that she should be basking in this glory!
Ning Xiaofei immediately let a smile loose, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid I¡¯d embarrass you looking this way? Let¡¯s go!¡±
She dragged Mu Tianye out of the Mu Building.
That night.
Mu Tianye, who has always been in a car on his way out, waited for a taxi at the side of the road for the first time. Because it waste in the evening, the two waited for more than ten minutes before an empty cab drove by.
The huge suit wasn¡¯t warm enough. Sitting in the cab, Ning Xiaofei¡¯s hands were freezing cold. At the sight of her toes curling, Mu Tianye frowned. He wrapped his other hand over her shoulders and held both of her hands palm to palm.
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s eyes fell on their sped hands together and her lips swayed up. She rxed her back and gently rested her face against the man¡¯s chest.
The car moved forward. Leaning against the man¡¯s chest while watching the shes of lights through the window, she stayed silent, but in her heart, a soft voice whispered.
If only this momentsts for a lifetime....how wonderful it would be!
She had never felt a father¡¯s love since she was a child, nor had she ever been favored by any man.
This man has warmed her heart like never before and she couldn¡¯t resist falling for it.

As time waits for no one, May Day was fast approaching. The closer it gets to the first broadcast, everyone in the program is as busy as a clockwork.
Ning Xiaofei is no exception, and she is even busier than anyone else.
During the day, she would either follow Ji Mo to the broadcasting studio, or took the film crew to shoot the scenery of their resources, too busy spending money. In the evening, they had to revise the individual manuscripts for the questions for both Mu Tianye and Xicheng, both of whom were also busyte at night.
Mu Tianye¡¯s new project is about to beunched so hispany is also busy with a variety of things. He too spent the days without rest.
He has won a piece ofnd over in France, spent a few days in City A and then set off to another ce anew.
Time passed like a white steed flitting past a crack, and the end of the month arrived.
On 30th of the month, everyone was very busy, and it waste at night when Ning Xiaofei finally returned home afterOn the day of the 30th, everyone was very busy, and it waste at night when Ning Xiaofei would return after the meeting a meeting.
Before she entered the door, she received a phone call from Mu Tianye, who had been was on his way back from France today because of some changes in his French affairs.
¡°I¡¯ll be there before the live broadcast. It won¡¯t affect your show.¡±
¡°I have already written the questions to be asked of you. Would you like me to send it to you?¡±
¡°No. I believe in you.¡±
Ning Xiaofei smirked.
¡°Be careful on your way then. I¡¯ll be busy in the studio tomorrow so just go straighter there.¡±
The man grunted in agreement, but still didn¡¯t hung up.
Listening to the sound of his breathing, she asked in bafflement.
¡°Is there anything else?¡±
¡°You are not saying anything!¡±
The man replied arrogantly and in an overbearing tone.

Chapter 164: Because my big warm treasure isn¡¯t here
Her? !
Ning Xiaofei held the phone and thought about it.
¡°Oh, the live broadcast is at 8:30. It¡¯d be better if you get there half an hour in advance.¡±
¡°And then?¡±
And then?
He is in France, a few hourster than her so it should be dusk there.
Ning Xiaofei thought about it again, and then she licked her lips before giving it a go once more.
¡°Husband mustn¡¯t have had dinner yet, remember to eat more!¡±
This time, she has not forgotten the time difference, right?
¡°En.¡± The man¡¯s tone softened a bit. ¡°And then?¡±
And then?
Ning Xiaofei frowned as she racked her brains once more. She held the phone but, couldn¡¯te up with anything else.
¡°Husband, and what else?¡±
Through the earpiece, the man¡¯s breathing obviously turned heavy as if he was trying to suppress his anger.
¡°Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re missing something important around you these days?¡±
What¡¯s missing around her?
Ning Xiaofei looked around, ¡°Mobile phone,ptop....everything¡¯s here. Is anything missing?¡±
At the other end of the line.
Mu Tianye tightened his fingers around the phone.
This damned girl, so he wasn¡¯t as important as her phone andptop?
The door was pushed opened and Zhou Tao walked in quietly.
¡°Chief Mu, it¡¯s time to go.¡±
When Zhou Tao said nothing more, Mu Tianye frowned and ended the call.
¡°Hello?!¡± Listening to the call ended tone on the phone, Ning Xiaofei blinked at her phone in bewilderment. ¡°What the hell, he only talked half of it....In the end, just what the hell is she missing?
Sweeping a nce at the talbe top, she couldn¡¯t help but begin to wonder if she had left anything important in her hurry.
She looked up and down then in a circle, but still couldn¡¯t find anything. She simply took her bag and turned it over. The credit card he has given her and her keys were all there...
While mulling over it, she took her things ustairs and got into the bed to transfer her drafts on the interview questions.
The heating has stopped, the spring night is cold and the bedding is not warm.
She nced at the empty pillow beside her, unfortunately.... Her big warm treasure isn¡¯t there!
But what exactly did he just say?
She grabbed her mobile phone, swiftly swiped it open and pointed a finger over the redial button. She stopped for a moment and giggled delightedly.
Everything¡¯s around so isn¡¯t it him who¡¯s the only one missing?
This guy, whenever he wanted to say something, he would never speak of it outright and would always has to speak in circles
Was it necessary for her to take the initiative for him to bepletely happy?
¡°Mu Tianye, you¡¯re such a tsundere!¡±
She has been busy every day these past few days. She really didn¡¯t spare him a thought, but she would always miss his warmth when she hits the cold bed at night.
Thinking of this, she smirked and dialed his phone number.
¡°Hello?¡±
¡°Husband, I¡¯m so cold!¡±
She has already visualized how this would go. When he asks, ¡°why are you cold,¡± she would answer, ¡°because my big warm treasure isn¡¯t here.¡±
It has never crossed her mind that the man would answer the way he did.
¡°Stupid, can¡¯t you turn on the air conditioner?¡±
¡°This insensitive guy, I don¡¯t want you anymore!¡±
Receiving a scolding when she meant to please him, the little girl snapped back and directly ended the call.
¡°Hello?¡±
Listening beep on the phone, Mu Tianye frowned as he pushed the car door open. They have stopped outside a restaurant and Zhou Tao has already stepped down from the car.
The man raised a brow unhappily. Shortly after, he smiled conceitedly. She just had to speak in a roundabout way just to say she was ¡°thinking of him.¡±
[Author: I say Mr. Wangye, is it alright for you to turn things ck and white?]
Mu Tianye stopped and ordered Zhou Tao.
¡°It¡¯s still early, go to the mall.¡±
¡°To buy what?¡± Zhou Tao asked.

Chapter 165: We¡¯re not gonna tolerate it.
Mu Tianye furrowed his brows and thought deeply about it. If she were just like any other woman, any luxury item would suffice. But the girl seemed to have no liking for expensive gifts given her reaction to the jewelry his grandpa has sent her before.
¡°Forget it. Let me go in person!¡±
They went into the restaurant and after having dinner with the client, Mu Tianye declined the invitation to go out and y together. Instead, he headed to the Champs-Elysees with Zhou Tao.
At this very moment, world-famous fashion street is brightly lit.
Having traveled to France many times in the past, this was the first time Mu Tianye has been to such a ce. Necessary gifts have always been arranged by Zhou Tao as he would never waste his precious time onpletely meaningless shopping trips.
After visiting several shops, he found out that he didn¡¯t know where to start.
Bags? Too cliche.
Clothes? He doesn¡¯t know her sizes.
........
A man, who has always been decisive in his empire, was caught in a tangle of just choosing a little gift.
Zhou Tao saw him troubled and took the initiative to give advice to his own boss.
¡°Chief Mu, there are several first-rate jewelry shops over there. The quality and style are appreciated by most girls.¡±
Mu Tianye scowled. He made no harvest even after visiting a few shops. He walked into thest jewellery shop with irritability and swept the items on disy. At the corner of his eyes, he noticed a piece on the shelf and the man¡¯s eyes lit up at once.
Walking before it, he raised his chin up on the shelf.
¡°Wrap this up.¡±
.........
.........
May 1, afternoon.
In ordance with the n arranged long ago, Xicheng held a new song press conference at the Kunlun Hotel.
In these past few days, Dishi Entertainment had to move quickly, edging a series of preparations in response to the new song leak.
Xicheng has pushed all work behind and devoted a week of his time recording another song on hand, then added it to his single EP.
Xicheng has always produced singles, for the first time produced two new songs on the same EP.
His name has always been popr in the industry so he never participated in any fan signing events. This time around, his streams were a hit in order to counter against this ¡°guy who deliberately did the right thing for him.¡±
In addition to releasing two new songs at the same time, Xicheng¡¯s photos were also included in the CD packaging, and 99 of his autographed photos were specially added to the first million albums.
As soon as the news got out, fans reacted wildly.
On the eve of the news release, severalrge audio-visual sales websites were paralyzed by traffic. In just three days, the pre-sales volume of major audio-visual websites and bookstores exceeded a million.
This result was much more than his previous pre-sales records, so thepany had to let the production team work overtime to avoid the impact of the distribution on local record stores.
All media outlets are reporting ¨C Xicheng has once again created a miracle.
When his new song was leaked, and the amount of broadcasts and downloads had exceeded 10 million, it was impossible to achieve such a first order.
It¡¯s inconceivable that a new song could reach such a subscription even when it has been leaked, with more than 10 million broadcasts and downloads.
At the press conference that day, Xicheng sang his other new song, ¡°The Ruins of Time.¡±
In the questions and answer portion that followed next, reporters immediately questioned the new song leak. Xu Yang, his assistant and agent, also responded to this question on behalf of Xicheng and Dishi.
¡°We¡¯ve already reported this to the police and they are working hard to find out who did it. Once we find he culprit, we will not tolerate him.¡±

Chapter 166
Chapter 166: Because of a person
¡°This matter is not only a provocation against Dishi Entertainment, but also against all originalposers and original works. This is not a malicious incident, but a real crime. China¡¯s copyrightws and regtions are gradually improving and we believe that with the support of other creators and tens of millions of fans who support the real edition, we will get better and better! Alright, the next part, in order to give back to the support of the fans, Mr. Xicheng has prepared a half-hour question and answer time for our reporters. You can ask questions.¡±
The journalists present went wild, too.
This is the first time that the sun has risen from the west. This grandpa finally is willing to ept interviews.
Snap snap snap!
A hand was raised at once.
Xicheng raised his right hand and nodded to a female reporter who stood up enthusiastically, even her voice came out bubbling with excitement.
¡°Mr. Xicheng, at this moment, what do you most want to say to your fans?¡±
The man pondered for a moment before standing up and slowly bowed to everyone.
¡°Thank you!¡±
The fans in the stadium burst out screaming.
¡°Xicheng, we love you.¡±
¡°We¡¯ll support you forever.¡±
......
¡°In fact.¡± Xicheng raised his right hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. ¡°I hope that you¡¯d love my song, not my person. I am not a perfect idol. I¡¯m merely a singer. That¡¯s all.¡±
Under the stage, another round of screaming resounded. Xicheng couldn¡¯t help but frown.
Sure enough, whatever he says is in vain!
¡°Mr. Xicheng, it has been reported that today, you will participate in an interview with ¡°Dialogue with God¡±. This should be your first time participating in this kind of program. Excuse me, what prompted you to do so?¡±
Xicheng fingers lightly tapped the table, and the face of Ning Xiaofei shed before him.
¡°Because of a person.¡±
¡°Is it a woman? What is Mr. Xicheng¡¯s rtionship with her?¡±
Another reporter asked in session, clearly knowing the ambiguity of such a query.
Xicheng scowled at him.
¡°Either you go out or I walk out!¡±
He has never courted journalists and agreeing to answer questions this time has already been a big concession. There¡¯s no way he¡¯s going to cave in to these journalists¡¯ spections.
In an instant, the rest of the reporters stared daggers at this guy. They¡¯ve finally got the chance to interview this grandpa and now he¡¯s got him pissed off.
The reporter who has been red at by his peers had no choice but to get up and leave. Xicheng¡¯s fans sent him off with dirty fingers and loud booing.
The questions that followed were asked cautiously, avoiding all taboos of this grandpa, and the press conference ended smoothly.
It was only when Xu Yang, who has been sweating the whole time, left the venue with Xicheng, finally heaved a sigh of relief.
¡°The time of the program.¡±
¡°The live broadcast starts at 8:30, and we¡¯ll arrive there before 8:00. The car is ready so let¡¯s go upstairs and have dinner. We¡¯ll head to the TV station right after.¡±
Xicheng raised his wrist to look at the time on his watch and nodded, ¡°Help me prepare two CDs!¡±
When they were sitting upstairs and having dinner, the staff sent the CD¡¯s. Xicheng signed them with his autograph and handed them to Xu Yang.
¡°Wrap it in a pretty bag, I¡¯ll give it to someone.¡±
After dinner, they brought the bag with them and headed to the station.
As the car drove into the entrance of the TV station, Xu Yang¡¯s phone rang.
After listening to a few words, his brows snapped together and his voice turned serious.
¡°Are you sure...Is there any mistake... Alright, I know... I¡¯ll talk to youter.¡±
Xicheng looked at him askance. After Xu Yang hung up, he hesitated to speak.
¡°They found the original post and also the IP address of the sender!¡±

M¡¯s corner: Seems like trouble¡¯s heading Fei fei¡¯s door....
Chapter 167
Chapter 167: Rarely in a good mood.
The car stopped steadily before the steps of the TV station¡¯s gate, and Xicheng¡¯s sexy lips lifted up, revealing a charming sneer.
¡°Today is really a good day.¡±
In a matter of days, with more than 10 million shares, wanting to find the original publisher wasn¡¯t an easy task.
Under the joint efforts of both Dishi Entertainment and Xicheng, the potential economic losses resulting from the disclosure of the song have long since ceased to exist.
Now, it¡¯s time for him to clean up that guy.
Noticing Xicheng¡¯s car parking, Ning Xiaofei, who was standing by for their arrival, immediately greeted them when the car door opened.
¡°Mr. Xicheng, wee!¡±
Xicheng stretched his legs and got off the car. Several security guards ran straight and guarded him.
The TV station had already set up security at the gate in case of any trouble, but given how influential this guest was, the column group wasn¡¯t about to take things lightly.
On the opposite side, Xu Yang looked at Ning Xiaofei in aplex manner. He got uout hurriedly and walked up the stairs behind Xicheng.
¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I¡¯ve been so busy today, otherwise I¡¯ll have definitely gone to your press conference!¡±
Xicheng smiled, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡±
After ying a remarkable turnaround and with the perpetrator now found, this arrogant man is also in a rare good mood.
Everyone stepped into the elevator moving upstairs. Xicheng didn¡¯t question Xuyang in detail immediately about this serious matter. Ning Xiaofei was beside him and other staff members were also there so he didn¡¯t want to mention this matter.
Soon, the few people reached Studio 9 and Ning Xiaofei politely led them to the backstage.
The moment Xicheng was hearding, all these well-informed staff also set their work aside and greeted them all together.
Not to mention a few younger women who muffled their screams with their hands on their mouths.
¡°Get back to work!¡± Ji Mo waved his hand and also came forward with a huge smile as he shook hands with him, ¡°Mr. Xicheng, wee!¡±
After Ji Mo¡¯s greetings, Pei Ruoxi who was also preparing in her dressing room, came out.
¡°Mr. Xicheng, congrattions on your new album.¡±
She had a show with Xicheng before so, he too shook her hand.
Ji Mo smiled, ¡°We have prepared a separate dressing room for you. Your makeup artists are also been arranged so let Xiaofei first take you their for a break.¡±
¡°This way please!¡±
Ning Xiaofei raised her arm. Xicheng nodded to everyone, and followed Ning Xiaofei to the guest dressing room.
¡°Have a sit. I¡¯ll call the makeup team right away.¡±
¡°Wait!¡± Xicheng extended his hand to Xu Yang and noticing that the man wasn¡¯t paying attention, he frowned and said, ¡°The stuff!¡±
Xu Yang hurriedly took out the wrapped CD from his bag, which Xicheng handed to Ning Xiaofei with both hands.
¡°Here, I¡¯m giving this to you!¡±
¡°This...¡± Ning Xiaofei looked at the gift box in her hand, ¡°Isn¡¯t it inappropriate to get a reward if it¡¯s not deserved?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me for an autograph?¡± Xicheng shrugged, ¡°Is it possible that you find it difficult to support my sales?¡±
Guessing that inside was his new CD, Ning Xiaofei didn¡¯t decline anymore.
¡°Then I won¡¯t be polite. See youter!¡±
The show is about to air. Everyone is busy preparing and of course she isn¡¯t in the position to rx.
Xicheng certainly knows of this so he immediately nodded. ¡°Just do your tasks, don¡¯t worry about me.¡±
Ning Xiaofei hurriedly left with the gift box.
With only Xu Yang and Xicheng left in the room, the man spoke again, but this time, his voice was devoid of any warmth.
¡°Who was it?¡±

Chapter 168: The man who betrayed him.
¡°Its....¡± Xu Yang muttered. ¡°They only said... they¡¯ve found the IP address. The specific person has not yet been named. Or else... should I ask again after recording the program?¡±
Xicheng looked at his side and Xu Yang averted his sight. Xu Yang¡¯s expression has sold him out and Xicheng has already guessed that there was something fishing about it. His gaze dropped colder.
¡°It seems I know the man!¡±
If not, Xu Yang wouldn¡¯t swallow it.
Xu Yang¡¯s face couldn¡¯t be painted. ¡°Let¡¯s finish this program first, okay?¡±
Xicheng nced at him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will finish this section and settle ounts with him!¡±
He was invited by Ning Xiaofei. Although he couldn¡¯t wear to tear the guy into pieces, he didn¡¯t want to smack Xiaofei¡¯s desk.
Xu Yang once again hesitated: ¡°No, this matter...¡±
Beside him, the man¡¯s enchanting eyes once again greeted him as they fell on Xu Yang¡¯s face, his eyes suddenly retracted.
¡°What are you being indecisive for?¡±
¡°Mr. Xicheng...¡±
¡°Do you want me to call and ask?¡±
Xu Yang watched his face carefully. ¡°That... When you¡¯re done listening, you must calm down a little. Maybe there is something hidden or misunderstood here...¡±
Xicheng¡¯s patience has already been exhausted and he yelled at him in anger.
¡°Say!¡±
¡°I...I¡¯ll say it!¡± Xu Yang sighed helplessly. ¡°The original post was released on Sunday at 10:47. The IP address...is the address of the TV station. They checked the IP link and it has been confirmed that it is...¡± Xu Yang took a deep breath, ¡°is the IP address of the Dialogue with God column.¡±
¡°You mean to say...¡± Halfway through, Xicheng¡¯s back on the sofa straightened a bit. He mmed the bottle of water in his hand to the table and stood up. He kicked the tea table in front of him, and the person squeezed three characters out in between his teeth: ¡°Ning Xiaofei?!¡±
¡°Sir!¡± Xu Yang rushed over and blocked his way. ¡°Don¡¯t be impulsive. They have only determined the IP address and this doesn¡¯t conclude everything.... That this is what Miss Ning did....¡±
Despite Xu Yang¡¯s persuasion of Xicheng, he himself has no confidence in this belief.
In fact, he was also aware at heart that she was the only person in the entire column who had a copy of the file. Coupled with the IP address traced here, everything points to Ning Xiaofei.
Xu Yang has been with Xicheng for many years. He has produced so many singles and albums. Apart from his sister, he has never personally sent anyone a copy. Even at the beginning, he still trusted Ning Xiaofei so much that he never doubted that it was her doing.
The person whom he has always believed and trusted, but turned out to be the one who betrayed him, how Xicheng, with his character, be able to withstand such a blow?
¡°Sir, I beg you, do this show and talkter, can you?¡±
¡°No!¡±
Xicheng forcefully pushed Xu Yang aside. With all his strength, Xu Yang was directly shoved aside and fell to the ground. Xicheng spared him no nced and marched over to open the door.
A staff member happened to pass by, and when he saw himing out, he immediately stopped and greeted him politely.
¡°Mr. Xicheng, do you need anything?¡±
Xicheng asked calmly: ¡°Where¡¯s Ning Xiaofei?¡±
¡°She seems to be at the front desk. Let me show the way...¡±
Before the staff could finish, Xicheng has already nudged him aside and walked long strides through the corridor and turned to the passage leading to the front desk.
Xu Yang scrambled up quickly and dashed along.
¡°Sir...¡±

Chapter 169
Chapter 169: Hypocrite, despicable... shameless
¡°Sir.... Sir, don¡¯t be impulsive!¡±
Xu Yang stumbled around the staff in the corridor, turned into the way to the front desk. He raised his voice and stopped in front of Xicheng, but was ignored.
The man¡¯s personality has always been recalcitrant and somewhat arbitrary. Not to mention how angry he is at the moment, where would he pull the rationale to be dissuaded.
Seeing Xicheng furiously rushing through, the staff in the corridor paved way in disbelief.
By the time they heard Xu Yang shouting, even the staff in the room were curious to see what was about, and many followed to the front desk to see what was going on.
At the moment, Ji Mo was arranging work for Ning Xiaofei some distance away from the stage.
First of all, he was a bit inconvenienced with the injury on his arm. Secondly, he wanted her to learn more. Ning Xiaofei listened attentively and would note something down from time to time.
The staff around were working tensely.
Check the lights, check the wiring, check various machine stereos...
Pei Ruoxi, who was already dressed up, was also on the stage practicing her own lines.
Boom!
The door at the entrance to the guest rooms was kicked open and made a startling loud noise.
In an instant, everyone nced at the entrance.
At the sight of Xicheng in walking purposely towards the stage in a fury, Ning Xiaofei and Ji Mo looked at each other in confusion.
It just so happened that the lighting engineer was testing the lights so the stage was brightly lit. Xicheng swept a nce at it, but saw no Ning Xiaofei.
Pei Ruoxi, who was closest to him, was the first to greet him.
¡°Mr. Xicheng, what¡¯s the...¡±
¡°Get out!¡± Xicheng barely passed her a nce and fixed his gaze around the stage, ¡°Ning Xiaofei,e out!¡±
By then, Ji Mo and Ning Xiaofei have run over and hearing her name, Ning Xiaofei into the stage.
¡°Mr. Xicheng.¡±
The light was reflected her face. In order to facilitate her work, she had already had her long hair styled. Her delicate face with a pair of eyes were crystal-clear under the lights.
Those pair of eye were pure as water in a stream.
Seeing her for a moment, Xicheng only felt as if hit with a heavy punch on the chest. It was very painful and almost made him breathless.
He believed her, believed her exnation, saw her n and was moved by her questions. He thought she really liked his song, and so afterwards, he revealed a few of his secrets and included her in his sphere....
But what did she do?
She obviously sold him out, but still yed the innocent in front of him.
Raising an arm, he grabbed her and shook her thin body in the air.
¡°Ning Xiaofei, I really misjudged you!¡±
¡°Mr. Xicheng!¡± Xu Yang rushed over. ¡°Please don¡¯t be impulsive... calm down!¡±
¡°Stop it!¡± Ji Mo also came forward. ¡°If you have anything toin, let go of her!¡±
Zhang Yue and several colleagues rushed over, just because they didn¡¯t know what was going on, they looked at Ning Xiaofei with concern.
At this point, Ning Xiaofei is still confused.
¡°What the hell happened?!¡±
She can clearly see that the man is fuming. But his eyes are burning more of disappointment than anger.
He seemed saddened, bitter and totally disappointed!
On the way, Xicheng had thought of giving her a p on the face.
Even when she¡¯s a woman!
But now, suddenly, he found himself reluctant to do so.
His right hand on the side clenched tightly and because of excessive exertion, his knuckles made a cracking sound.
He shoved her away and then stared down at her, who plopped down on the ground.
¡°Hypocrite, despicable....shameless!¡±

Chapter 170
Chapter 170: Pretending to be innocent, pretending to be poor, pretending to be worthy of admiration
¡°Hypocrite, despicable... Shameless!¡±
Thest two words, Xicheng directly roared.
¡°Xiao Fei!¡±
Zhang Yue and a colleague together helped Ning Xiaofei from the ground, and Ji Mo stepped forward and blocked him in front of Ning Xiaofei.
¡°Mr. Xicheng, if Xiao Fei has offended you, as the general director, I apologize to you on her behalf. But...¡± His tone turned fierce, ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a little too much to treat a girl like this?¡±
"Excessive?" Xicheng sneered. "What about her? Sending my new song to the inte, and pretending to be innocent, isn¡¯t that overkill?"
Hearing his deration, Ji Mo was stunned and turned to look at Ning Xiaofei.
¡°Mr. Xicheng.¡± Ning Xiaofei came out from behind Ji Mo. ¡°I don¡¯t know if there is any misunderstanding in this matter or you¡¯ve misheard it. But I really has nothing to do with it. If you don¡¯t believe it, I can cooperate with the police to investigate, but I hope this will not affect your cooperation with us.¡±
¡°Ha...¡± Xicheng scoffed: ¡°Cooperate? I would never work with people like you!¡±
The reason why he promised and broke his routine was because he felt sorry for her, and his recognition of Ning Xiaofei¡¯s work. Now, she still wants him to participate in the show?
At Xicheng¡¯s upromising stance, Ji Mo¡¯s face was dyed with annoyance.
Hees when he wants, and walks away just the same. This kind of irresponsibility coincides with stars who can really do whatever they want.
He stepped forward on the verge of ring up.
¡°Mr. Xicheng!¡± Ning Xiaofei blocked Ji Mo¡¯s advance. ¡°I have a clear conscience on the sample audio file!¡±
Has a clear conscience?
With no shame, until now, where did she get the gut to still y pretend and im innocence?
He raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at Ning Xiaofei¡¯s face.
¡°Okay, give me an exnation then. Why did the IP address of the release of my original demo from your TV station, and in your column group office?! Say, do you still have a clear conscience?¡±
¡°This...¡± Ning Xiaofei was also taken aback, ¡°How could that be possible?¡±
She remembered very clearly that she had deleted the document that day. What happened?
Their audience was also in doubt. The leaking of Xicheng¡¯s new song, everyone was aware of it. But, no one have ever thought that he would use Ning Xiaofei this fiercely.
Outside the crowd, a smirk dyed Pei Ruoxi¡¯s face.
She¡¯s been waiting a long time for this entertaining y.
"Director Ji!" A staff member squeezed into the crowd. "Are the audience already ready to enter?"
¡°Humph!¡± Not waiting for Ji Mo¡¯s response, Xicheng huffed: ¡°Xu Yang, let¡¯s go!¡±
Seeing him intent on leaving, Ning Xiaofei rushed to him and pulled his arm: ¡°I¡¯m going to the police station right now, so can you stay and finish the show, alright?¡±
With the live broadcast already on the way, she just hopes that he¡¯ll stay and all will be settled after the show.
Since the sample file was released from the TV station, she¡¯s afraid that her involvement can¡¯t be erased. Everyone¡¯s hard work shouldn¡¯t be spoiled just because of her.
¡°Enough!¡± Xicheng shook her hand off: ¡°For the specific details, just go to the police station to exin it. Stop touching me with your dirty hands, because you make me sick!¡±
Ning Xiaofei rushed over to stop him even when he was roaring mad.
¡°How could you go back on your word! You know how long we have prepared for this program, how many meetings, how many extra shifts, and even Director Ji was hurt....These efforts, aren¡¯t they worthy for your appreciation? ¡°

Chapter 171
Chapter 171: No one¡¯s allowed to leave.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with it?¡± Xicheng looked her in the eye. ¡± Do you know how much I¡¯ve done for my new song? I stayed all week in the desert just to record the most pleasant sound of the wind and sand. But because of you, my team and I had to work overtime for a whole week. The sound technicians had to stay up three days and nights. all recorded CD¡¯s were scrapped and re-recorded. Do you know how many people were involved?¡±
¡°But it¡¯s really not me!¡±
¡°If not you, why is it the IP address was of the TV station¡¯s?! In the entire column group, except you, no one else has had a copy of my file. If not you, then who?! You¡¯re saying that you are innocent, well then,e up with evidence. As long as you can prove that you weren¡¯t the one who did it, I¡¯ll stay and finish the show. I will even personally apologize to you.¡± Xicheng grabbed Ning Xiaofei¡¯s wrist, ¡°Come on... Ning Xiaofei, why don¡¯t you talk, can¡¯t you even fabricate anything?¡±
The man¡¯s fingers were like iron thongs almost crushing her slender arm. And the wound at the back of her hand burst in pain. The wounds that almost healed were once again torn apart and blood dripped out, soaking the bandage.
Against Xicheng¡¯s aggressive questioning, Ning Xiaofei, who had no idea how everything came about, was tongue-tied.
Everyone, who was watching wasn¡¯t clear as to what was happening, was willing to step in and help Ning Xiaofei, but didn¡¯t know how.
Some inevitably wondered if Ning Xiaofei was indeed the culprit....
Hurried footsteps suddenly disturbed the silence and forced his way through the crowd, then grabbed Xicheng arm.
A long palm, white cuffs, and cobal blue cufflinks sparkled.
Mu Tianye¡¯s elegant face, deep and iparable, and a pair of dark eyes greeted Xicheng without shying away, with restrained anger.
¡°Let go!¡±
The man¡¯s low-pitched tone was faint, but deep and domineering.
Everyone¡¯s attention has been on Xicheng and Ning Xiaofei. When someone suddenly cut in the scene, their eyes fell on the man¡¯s face. Xicheng¡¯s eyes shrank.
¡°Mu Tianye?¡±
¡°Mr. Xicheng, please let go!¡±
Ji Mo seconded. Although his tone was polite, it was equally majestic.
In one way or another, it was always abusive for a man to manhandle a woman.
¡°Huh!¡±
Xicheng loosened his fingers and shook off Mu Tianye¡¯s arm.
Looking at Ning Xiaofei on the side, Mu Tiane raised his arm to block her, protecting her with his body. Then he turned to Xicheng.
¡°What did she do wrong?¡±
Xicheng snorted icily: ¡°None of your business!¡¯
Mu Tianye eyed him with a frostier front: ¡°She¡¯s my business.¡±
Xicheng narrowed his eyes and blinked at Ning Xiaofei, and then at Mu Tianye.
¡°You want to protect her? It depends on whether you have that ability!¡± Taking a deep breath, Xicheng coldly screamed, ¡°Xu Yang, call the police! Say that the thief who deliberately released my song has been caught. They shoulde and arrest her!¡¯
¡°Director Ji!¡± The deputy director nudged Ji Mo¡¯s arm in rm. ¡°It¡¯s eight o¡¯clock.¡±
The live broadcast is scheduled at 8:30. The audience has already lined up outside for admission. If they dy the preparation, the column would be ruined.
Instead of calling the police, Xu Yang rushed and dragged Xicheng by the arm.
¡°Mr. Xicheng, why don¡¯t we calm down first and talk about it?¡±
He knows this guy¡¯s temper knows better than anyone else. And if he keeps pushing him, he¡¯ll just make things worse.
¡°Stop right there!¡± Mu Tianye thundered: ¡°Before things are cleared up, no one is allowed to leave!¡±

Chapter 172: I believe you!
Is his woman so easily ndered?!
¡°Oh...¡± Xicheng sneered and looked Mu Tianye in the eye with disdain: ¡°Mu Tianye, I know that your words carry weight and are feared in the business world. But you heard me clearly, I¡¯m not afraid of you!¡±
Mu Tianye alsoughed and returned coldly.
¡°Beign recognized by Mr. Xicheng is really an honor. So, the both of you should make it clear...¡± The man¡¯s tone turned particrly sharp as he turned the discussion back to his usation: ¡°Why did you call her thief?!¡±
¡°Mr. Mu...¡± Xu Yang naturally recognizes this legendary figure in City A¡¯s business circle so he responded with more caution: ¡°Well, we have found the IP address of the publisher of the original file and found that it was exactly where Miss Ning is. Miss Ning from the column group and Mr. Xicheng are the only ones who were in possession of the document.¡±
¡°Hump!¡± Xicheng snorted. ¡°Now, do you still want to protect her?¡±
Mu Tianye looked at Ning Xiaofei, and saw her face full of frustration and grievances. She greeted his nce and gently shook her head.
¡°It really wasn¡¯t me!¡±
The man nodded.
¡°I believe you!¡±
Those three words instantly warmed Ning Xiaofei¡¯s heart.
He gave his trust without question. With the number of people in the hall... She¡¯s afraid that there¡¯s only one Mu Tianye.
Comforting her with a nce, Mu Tianye once again gave his attention back to Xicheng: ¡°As far as I know, Mr. Xicheng¡¯s song was exposed on Monday. ording to this spection, the document was released on Sunday night. Am I right? "
Xicheng only gave him a perfunctory look and ignored him, but Xu Yang nodded. ¡°Yes, the original post was released at 10:40 on Sunday.¡±
¡°As I expected.¡± Mu Tianye raised his palm and held down the dejected Ning Xiaofei. ¡°I was selected as an outstanding entrepreneur of the city that night. That night, Xiaofei and I attended a dinner at the City Hall. When we left the venue, it was around eleven o¡¯clock. That is to say, when the post was released, she and I, and the mayor, were drinking and chatting together.¡±
Mu Tianye waved his left hand: ¡°Zhou Tao, call the mayor. Say that I¡¯m asking him toe testify for Xiaofei.¡±
Despite his nd tone, it carried absolute majesty.
The more people listened to him, the more their fear of iimpounded ¡ª For Mr. Mayor toe please this man...... Is he crazy?!
¡°Assistant Zhou!¡± Ning Xiaofei was in cold sweats and hurriedly stopped Zhou Tao. ¡°This thing need not bother the Mayor.¡±
Look for the police over there, the mayor over here... Can they still broadcast the show?!¡±
She pulled Mu Tianye aside and confronted Xicheng. She scowled at him and countered earnestly: ¡°That night, I really didn¡¯te to the station. Many people were at the dinner party. Mr. Mayor and Secretary Gu can prove my presence there. I know that this matter makes you very angry. I can understand you targeting me. Although the document was not released by me, my involvement can¡¯t be excused. I will take responsibility and cooperate with the police investigation and give you and Dishi a clear exnation. All the staff and your fans are waiting for your interview, just for the... can you finish the show?¡±
Xu Yang gently nudged sleeves indicating him quit while he is still ahead.
Ning Xiaofei has received a tongueshing and took the initiative to apologize. She¡¯s taken the first step to give him face.

Chapter 173: Good-looking and also handy
Xicheng frowned and looked at Ning Xiaofei, the corner of his eye noticed that the gauze wrapped around her hand was stained with red, the man¡¯s eyebrows jumped.
¡°You¡¯d better prove that this thing really has nothing to do with you!¡± Xicheng nced at Mu Tianye standing behind her, and turned to around. ¡°Xu Yang, help me prepare.¡±
¡°Excuse us!¡±
Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Ning Xiaofei and others nodded and turned to chase.
Everybody¡¯s heart finally loosened.
¡°Get ready for the intro right away!¡± Ji Mo directed everyone in the crowd and then bowed gratefully at Mu Tianye. ¡°Mr. Mu, thank you.¡±
Mu Tianye did not give Ji Mo any good face at al. ¡°You can¡¯t even protect your own employees. You might as well resign!¡±
Ning Xiaofei hurriedly pulled him aside. ¡°You go to the dressing room first, I wille over to youter.¡±
Ji Mo has already helped her out, and the scene was messy enough. She doesn¡¯t want this master to break into another tantrum.
She first asked Zhang Yue to lead Mu Tianye to his dressing room and faced Ji Mo.
¡°Director Ji, don¡¯t take it too seriously.¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Ji Mo smiled, and then took a medicine pack prepared by the doctor for him from the table on the side. ¡°Go and treat your wounds, be careful not to get infected.¡±
Ning Xiaofei took it gratefully and thanked him. She quickly ran into the bathroom, removed the bandage that was stained from her hand, and bit down her pain and managed to re-wrap the wound.
Just now, she kept her hands hidden while asking Zhang Yue to attend to Mu Tianye. She was afraid that he would see her injury. Otherwise, that guy would go on a rampage again.
Opening the faucet and washing off the blood stains on her left hand, Ning Xiaofei fixed her hair stuck on her forehead.
Who exactly moved her file?
The door to the bathroom was pushed open and Pei Ruoxi came in. Ning Xiaofei quickly dumped the gauze on the sink and walked out of the bathroom.
The show was going to air soon and she has no time to fight with Pei Ruoxi.
After leaving the gauze and drugs in the kit, she hurried to Mu Tianye¡¯s dressing room. Zhang Yue has already left. In the room, Zhou Tao was taking out a set of prepared clothes from a bag and handed them to Mu Tianye.
To save time, they rushed straight from the airport so there was no time to change his clothes.
She smiled brightly at the man and came forward to help him with his tie.
¡°I¡¯ll get these back to the car.¡±
Zhou Tao took the initiative to exuse himself, leaving the young couple a time together.
¡°En, my husband is so handsome!¡± Ning Xiaofei tried to butter him up then asked worriedly: ¡°After sitting on the ne for a long time, you must be tired, right...You haven¡¯t had dinner yet, I¡¯ve left a lunch box for you.¡±
¡°I have eaten.¡± Mu Tianye reached over her waist and pulled her onto hisp. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me, do your own thing.¡±
¡°Alright!¡± Ning Xiaofei leaned against his shoulder and raised her left hand, gently caressing his short hair. ¡°Oh, how could my husband¡¯s head be so smart, not only is it good-looking but also handy. Howe you knew it was released that night?¡±
Deep in her heart, of course, she¡¯s grateful to him.
If he hadn¡¯t been there in time, she still would have been caught in her confusion and was unable toe up with this alibi. Furthermore, even if she had thought of it, with her own identity, would others believe her?
Knowing that she was just sweet-talking, Mu Tianye was still amused. The corners of his lips swayed up and her fingers stroking him suddenly produced a strange throbbing.

Chapter 174
Chapter 174: Take the initiative
Looking at her sideways, Mu Tianye found the girl¡¯s fascinated gaze on him. He whispered: ¡°How are you going to thank me?¡±
¡± A drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring. This young woman hasn¡¯t got any money, has no possessions, has nothing, except...¡± Ning Xiaofei¡¯s hand was lifted and slowly drilled into her pocket then smiled at him naughtily. ¡°Chocte treats!¡±
Stinky girl, so she was deliberately teasing him, is she?
Mu Tianye raised a brow in displeasure: ¡°I don¡¯t eat this kind of thing.¡±
¡°Then I won¡¯t be polite.¡± Ning Xiaofei tossed the chocte into her own mouth and chewed happily: ¡°This is what Zhang Jie¡¯s husband brought back from abroad. It¡¯s really delicious...¡±
Watching her enjoying the treat, the man¡¯s eyes narrowed.
¡°I want some too!¡±
¡°There¡¯s no more, this is thest one, who told you not to say so earlier! Or...¡± Ning Xiaofei straightened her waist and leaned in front of him, smirking and sticking her tongue out. ¡°Do you want to half it?¡¯
She is not a fool. After being with him these days, she¡¯s got a little more understanding of his nature.
Just look at the man¡¯s expression and she knows what he wants, but she¡¯s just too busy today. She hasn¡¯t bought chewing gum and after having dinner, she was afraid of having bad breath so she deliberately ate the chocte.
Not waiting for Mu Tianye¡¯s response, she actively took over and gently licked the seams of his lips.
Thanking him alone was too light so at this moment, she¡¯d willingly please him whatever it takes.
For the first time, she willingly took the initiative to kiss him.
She kissed him artlessly, much less with skill, but it was heartfelt.
At first, Mu Tianye just caressed her back with her hand and enjoyed her closeness. Soon, he was a little bit overwhelmed by her enthusiasm and his hands climbed up against her neck. He took control and attacked her territory.
The taste of chocte in her mouth wasn¡¯t sweet, but that of a pure ck chocte, though bitter, it was uniquely sweet. It was a lot different from her usual fresh and sweet taste, but was even more novel and exciting.
He couldn¡¯t deepening the kiss and plunder as much as he could.
The pain of a few days of separation of course can¡¯t be satisfied with a kiss.
While kissing, his fingers unconsciouly drilled into a familiar road, her straps.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Mu Tianye raised his face from her cor.
Ning Xiaofei quickly removed the right hand that squeezed in, and smiled at him with a red face. ¡°Nothing, I just want to hold your hand.¡±
The man once again bowed down to expand his territory, when a knock on the door sounded.
Interrupted from his good deeds, Mu Tianye raised his head unhappily.
¡°What is it?¡±
¡°Chief Mu, the live show will be starting in five minutes.¡±
Outside the door, Zhou Tao gave a due diligence.
¡°Got it.¡± Seeing Ning Xiaofei pulling his hands and buttoning her chest, he reached out to help her fasten up, ¡°Do your job!¡¯
Still blushing, Ning Xiaofei beamed at him then pasted her face beside his ear: ¡°Tonight....I¡¯ll be with you.¡±
**** A drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring. ¨C Even if it was just a little help from others, you should return the favor with all you can when others are in need.

Chapter 175: A born superstar
Afraid to look at his face, Ning Xiaofei blushed red. She opened the door of the dressing room and ran all the way to the front desk.
.....
.....
Front desk.
Ji Mo sat on the director¡¯s seat and looked away from the monitor¡¯s screen.
¡°Five minutes left, all departments report!¡±
¡°Lights in ce!¡±
¡°Speakers checked!¡±
........
¡°I¡¯m ready too!¡±
Ning Xiaofei ran over and sat down on the assistant¡¯s seat on his side.
Ji Mo turned to look at the stage and noticed Pei Ruoxi standing by, he immediately reminded.
¡°Ruoxi, check your microphone.¡±
Pei Ruoxi raised a finger, and fixed her microphone which was hanging askew on herpel.
¡°All¡¯s good!¡±
A golden light shed under her wrist and Ji Mo was suddenly reminded of the pendant he found, his eyes shrinkled in an instant.
Zhang Yue walked over quickly: ¡°Director, listen to the speaker on the left, it seems a bit different from the right.¡±
¡°Okay!¡± Ji Mo immediately got up, followed him to the stereo on the left and listened to the effects, ¡°There¡¯s no problem, it should be an irregrity from the studio, so the echo is different. The sounds on both sides might be unequal, but it doesn¡¯t affect the overall performance.¡±
Zhang Yue nodded. ¡°I think so too. I¡¯m afraid something might go wrong so I asked you to double check.¡±
Ji Mo smiled admiringly at him and stood up again, ¡°By the way, what time did we get back from the studiost Sunday?¡±
Zhang Yue thought for a moment, ¡°I didn¡¯t pay attention to the time, but I got to the subway station just in time for my ride. So... it should be around eleven o¡¯clock.¡±
Ji Mo¡¯s pupils shrank and his eyes fell on Pei Ruoxi again.
¡°Director!¡± The assistant director ran over. ¡°There¡¯s less than five minutes left!¡±
¡°Start the countdown.¡± Ji Mo quickly resumed his position. ¡°Today is our first battle, everyone...Do your best!¡±
¡°Jiayou!¡±
Everyone chorused together.
On the big screen, the countdown began.
¡°Our dear audience, we are five minutes to the show, please be quiet.¡±
As the lights in the audience went dark, the main lights on the stage turned one after another, and the makeup artist applied thest touches on Pei Ruoxi¡¯s make up. As the countdown on the big screen reached 0, the first live broadcast of ¡°Dialogue with God¡± officiallyunched.
Facing the camera, Pei Ruoxi presented a huge smile.
¡°Everyone, guests, friends, I¡¯m Pei Ruoxi, your host for today first live broadcast of Dialogue with God...Everyone must see how excited I am tonight. Do you why? It¡¯s a great honor for me to let you know that it¡¯s because of our two guests tonight...Bear in mind, they are two, super heavyweight Gods, Do you know who they are all?¡±
¡°Xicheng!¡±
¡°Xicheng!¡±
.......
Under the stage, screams burst out in an instant.
¡°That¡¯s right, our first guest today is...¡± Pei Ruoxi stood up from the sofa and extended her right arm, ¡°The music God...Mr. Xicheng!¡¯
The spotlight moved and hit Xicheng¡¯s figure and appeared in everyone¡¯s sight.
Not only the audience on the set, but those waiting in front of their TV¡¯s were already in a state of madness.
Nodding to the crowd, Xicheng stepped onto the main stage.
He has changed into a white casual suit, with loose cors making look a bit uninhibited. His step by step strides to the stage were morous and dazzling.
¡°A born superstar.¡±
Ning Xiaofei sighed at heart.
The man stood at the stage and immediately exuded an extraordinary aura. Despite being a guest of honor, he still suppressed the host,pletely drowning Pei Ruoxi¡¯s presence in his limelight with ease.

Chapter 176: Poisonous tongue
¡°Our Mr. Xicheng really deserves the title super Mr. Perfect. God, I almost thought I am at a concert venue...¡± Pei Ruoxi beamed as she shook hands with him, then guided Xicheng to the sofa.
¡°Xicheng!¡±
¡°Xicheng!¡±
.......
The audience¡¯s screams continued.
¡°Okay.¡± Pei Ruoxi raised her right hand and then ced a linger on her lips indicating everyone to be quiet. Then she continued mysteriously: ¡°Now that our first heavyweight male God has been introduced, there¡¯s another male God participating in today¡¯s interview. Who is he? Who wants to guess?¡¯
Under the stage, there was an immediate shout from the audience.
¡°Is he a star?¡±
¡°Give us a hint!¡±
...........
On the director¡¯s desk, Ji Mo frowned.
This is a high-quality talk show, and the fact that Pei Ruoxi was still stuck in the entertainment section of the program to incite the mood of the audience was much to his displeasure.
He reached out and grabbed the microphone, and immediately ordered.
¡°Please ask Mr. Mu to the stage and let the audience calm down!¡±
His voice that rang directly through Pei Ruoxi¡¯s earpiece was undoubtedly displeased. She quickly adjusted her state.
¡°Well, let¡¯s take a look at this short video.¡±
On the huge screen, the yback video that Ning Xiaofei filmed started ying. It was just a 30-second video, but was just enough to aunthenticate Mu Tianye¡¯s oustanding talents.
¡°He was born in a literary family, but has written legends in the business world. Within a decade, he run a dying enterprise into the world¡¯s 100 today. At the age of 29, he is worth tens of billions. He is China¡¯s first Pritzker Award holder and was also ranked among the world¡¯s sexiest men on Vogue Fashion Magazine!¡±
When the huge screen finally settled on an image of Mu¡¯s building, Pei Ruoxi opened her mouth exaggeratedly.
¡°That¡¯s right, he is our seond guest, the business god, our ultra-rich and handsome, president of Mu Shi Group, founder of the New Centry Group, Mr. Mu Tianye! Please wee!¡±
On the other side of the stage, the spotlight lit up once more andnded on Mu Tiane, who has already been standing there.
The audience followed the spotlight without exception only to see a man in an elegant ck suit, with a handsome face carved deeper, but clearly under the spotlight, not to mention his standard figure of a model, not to mention the coldness his whole body emits that seems to drive people miles away as well as his indifferent countenance, his face alone was enough for women to marvel.
Then a shriek could be heard from the audience.
On the webcast, the entire screen was blocked by a barrage ofments.
¡°Oh my God, so handsome!¡±
¡°He¡¯s the really rich and handsome!¡±
¡°Licking the screen, licking the screen, no one can stop me!¡±
¡°Suppressing my desire for this Adonis, he¡¯s going to be my love!¡±
.........
The man walked onto the stage, nodded gently towards the audience below the stage, and sat on the left side of the triangr formation under Pei Ruoxi¡¯s guidance, sitting opposite Xicheng.
Ruo Ruoxi smiled and sat down in the middle of the main position. ¡°Both of you are great gods in different fields. I don¡¯t know, did the two knew of each other?¡±
Xicheng leaned back on the back of the chair. ¡°Of course, Mr. Mu Yanwang (King of Hell) who¡¯d kill and dispatch others by no means ruthlessly. Of course, I¡¯ve heard of him!¡±
Pei Ruoxi sighed inwardly, wasn¡¯t he openly mocking him?
¡°So, has Mr. Mu ever heard of Mr. Xicheng¡¯s songs?¡±
Mu Tianye sneered: ¡°I¡¯ve heard of the name. I¡¯ve only find out today that Mr. Xicheng wasn¡¯t a woman disguising as a man!¡±
Pei Ruoxi¡¯s lips twitched and the expression on her face unnaturally stiff.
Xicheng has always been known for his poisonous tongue. She has heard of it. How could this man be so much more poisonous than Xicheng!

Chapter 177
Chapter 177: A p in the face
The two men pped each others¡¯ faces tit-for-tat and the smell of gunpowder was explosive.
On the stage, a few arrows were immediately drawn and Pei Ruoxi, who intended to liven up the atmosphere, was faced with an awkward moment.
¡°Oh...¡± Pei Ruoxi forced a smile, ¡°You two are really humorous!¡±
Off the stage, Ning Xiaofei wiped her forehead helplessly, and Ji Mo once again spoke on his headset and reminded Pei Ruoxi unhappily.
¡°Start the interview.¡±
The two had just quarreled because of Ning Xiaofei, so Pei Ruoxi should properly adjust her hosting script. At this time, asking them of their impressions about each other, wasn¡¯t that tantamount to intentionally embarrassing herself?
¡°Today, I¡¯m honored to be able to sit with you together. Since our program is entitled ¡°Dialogue with God,¡± what is your insight on the word ¡®God¡¯?
Xicheng: ¡°Boring!¡±
Pei Ruoxi¡¯s eyebrows jumped and turned to look at Mu Tianye.
Mu Tianye: ¡°Childish!¡±
Pei Ruoxi only wished she could kick these two men away.
What kinds of answers were these? If these two treat their words like they¡¯d die if they answer with more than a word, how was she to facilitate the talk?
Off the stage, Ji Mo grabbed the headset the third time.
¡°Don¡¯t talk smart, formally ask questions.¡±
This childish question, of course, was not included in Ning Xiaofei¡¯s script, but it was Pei Ruoxi¡¯s desire to ease the atmosphere that ended up embarrassing herself even more.
¡°We all know that Mr. Xicheng¡¯s new song is entitled ¡°The City of No Man¡±, and Mr. Mu is also a great god of architecture. For the word ¡®City,¡¯ we may have our own unique interpretation of it. Then, let us first call Xicheng for his ownmentary of his ¡°City of No Man. Thenter, Mr. Mu to talk about his city ¨C New Century.¡±
Speaking of his own music, Xicheng¡¯s tone was serious and Mu Tianye¡¯s eyes also looked focused. The New Century is the product of his three-year sword-grinding. Like his own child, he was of course very much concerned.
The two esteemed guests on the stage got into the right state so Ning Xiaofei, Ji Mo and the other staffs of the column group finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The first half of the interview went on quite smoothly with an ad cut into the middle. Pei Ruoxi¡¯s strained nerves finally eased a bit.
After a while, Ji Mo¡¯s signal sounded on her earpiece, marking the second half of the interview.
Control the time, focus on the issues that Xiaofei picked out for you, don¡¯t add any drama.¡±
Listening to Ji Mo¡¯s affectionate tone whenever he names Ning Xiaofei, which was contrary to his cold attitude towards her, an evil streak bubbled in her chest.
The countdown for the advertisement appeared on the screen and was ridirected to the stage. Pei Ruoxi straightened up in great spirits and grilled the two conscientiously with the following interview questions.
In a blink of an eye, the interview wasing to an end and Pei Ruoxi prepped up for her own questions.
¡°We all know that one¡¯s sess is inseparable to his or her childhood....¡±
Reading between the lines, Xicheng gave a restrained smile, while Mu Tianye¡¯s brows began to wrinkle. Ning Xiaofei grabbed Ji Mo¡¯s headset without dy.
¡°Change this question immediately, you mustn¡¯t ask this!¡±
Before, Xu Yang specifically mentioned not to ask Xicheng about family issues. Ning Xiaofei also asked Zhou Tao about Mu Tianye¡¯s taboos and he only said one thing ¨C ¡°Don¡¯t ask anything rted to his childhood and mother.¡±
Therefore, on the script, Ning Xiaofei highlighted these tips in bold fonts.
Hearing Ning Xiaofei¡¯s warning, Pei Ruoxi secretly curled her lips and flung them away.
Humph!
This Ning Xiaofei, she¡¯s just an insignificant neer, but dared to give her orders?
........

M¡¯s corner: Pei Ruoxi can¡¯t wait to die, is what she is. I hope she¡¯d get a tongueshing on the spot!!
Chapter 178
Holding the thick envelope in her hand, Ning Xiaofei frowned first, and then tightly sped the envelope against her chest.
¡°This guy ... you are being nice to me, I will fall in love with you!¡±
The elevator door was separated. She took a deep breath, shoved the envelope into her backpack and trotted all the way out of the elevator with an undiminishing smile.
......
......
No matter how she rushed all the way, she was still a littlete when she got to thepany.
She expressed her gratitude to Xiao Song at the front desk, and dashed all the way into the conference room.
¡°Sorry, everyone, I¡¯mte!¡±
As soon as her apology fell, voices of concern arose.
¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay, we¡¯ve all just arrived!¡±
¡°Yeah, Xiao Fei,e in!¡±
¡°You must haven¡¯t eaten yet, I brought cookies here, right, I also have a cup of coffee ready for you!¡±
.....
Uh!
Ning Xiaofei nced around in astonishment. These voices of ttery were quite a far cry from when everyone looked at her and ignored her in the past.
¡°Cough!¡± Ji Mo coughed, and everyone calmed down.
¡°Sorry, Director Ji, I ... I¡¯mte.¡±
¡°It¡¯s nothing new.¡± Ji Mo maintained his usual tone, public is public, private is private, his gratitude to her, these are private affairs, he has always been unambiguous in public affairs, ¡°Get ready for the meeting!¡±
Zhang Yue pulled open the chair beside him, ¡°Xiao Fei, sit down!¡±
Ning Xiaofei took a seat while Ji Mo was looking around.
¡°We got off at a good start in the first phase. Whether we can keep this depends on the next issue, so the second phase is top priority. Now, why don¡¯t you put forward your own ideas?¡±
Ning Xiaofei was busy flipping through her notebook and got her mind wrapped around the meeting, ready to listen to everyone¡¯s opinions and record the key points.
No one spoke at the table.
After a moment, a colleague from the nning department across the table opened with a smile.
¡°Let¡¯s listen to Xiao Fei¡¯s opinion?¡±
¡°Yes, yes, Xiao Fei certainly has good snacks.¡±
¡°Right!¡±
Followed by echoes all at once.
Ning Xiaofei raised her face. ¡°I thought about something, but ... It¡¯s not quite mature yet, so I¡¯ll throw out a brick and get jade thrown back.¡±
¡°Xiao Fei, don¡¯t be humble. If you¡¯ve not nned out our first phase, can we still have such high ratings, we all listen to you!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right!¡±
.............
Ning Xiaofei felt a moment of embarrassment when everyone unted
¡°The sess of the first phase was everyone¡¯s work. Don¡¯t say that, then I¡¯ll talk about it first.¡± Then, she put out some of the ideas recorded in her own notebook, ¡°The audience is still on the curiosity stage for our show, so the second phase must be stabilized. So I think a change and innovation on the principles of the first phase should be achieved, exceeding the expectations of the audience, so we can keep their curiosity about the program....¡±
Ji Mo nodded gently.
¡°What about the rest?¡±
¡°I agree with Xiao Fei¡¯s idea!¡±
¡°Me too.¡±
¡°I also think Xiao Fei makes sense!¡±
......
The crowd around the table was all the more appreciative, and merely echoed each other.
Ji Mo frowned, and Ning Xiaofei was a little embarrassed. It was obvious that everyone was nodding to her, and nobody really cared about her thoughts.
¡°Before tomorrow morning, I want everyone to hand in a n!¡± Ji Mo closed theputer, ¡°Meeting adjourned.¡±
Everyone got up and Ning Xiaofei chased after him into his office with her notebook. ¡°Director Ji, I¡¯m sorry, I ... I didn¡¯t expect things to turn out this way.¡±
Ji Mo smiled gently at her, ¡°It¡¯s not your fault, just be yourself, don¡¯t think about it.¡±
Chapter 217
¡°Then I¡¯ll go out!¡±
Nodding to Ji Mo, Ning Xiaofei turned to exit his office and returned to her table.
She took out herptop from her backpack and prepared to write a n, but as soon as theputer turned on, a push notification from a certain entertainment website popped up. She moved the mouse to turn it off, but when she saw a windbreaker picture on the ad above, her fingers paused.
Damn, why did she forget such an important thing!
She grabbed the cell phone and hurriedly called the Lanting apartment number.
A momentter, Miss Liu¡¯s voice rang.
¡°Miss Liu, this is Xiao Fei. Did you see a silver-grey trench coat in the living room?¡±
¡°Silver-gray trench coat? Is it yours?¡±
¡°Not mine, it¡¯s a man¡¯s trench coat.¡±
¡°Are you talking about the one that the young master was wearing early this morning?¡±
Ning Xiaofei wanted to cry without tears. She quickly ended the call and searched for Mu Tianye¡¯s phone number. After several times of consideration, she finally got up and fled all the way to the bathroom. And then pressed the call button.
While listening to the ringing tone, her little heart pounded.
It¡¯s over!
¡°Madam, is anything the matter?¡±
It wasn¡¯t Mu Tianye who answered the phone, but Zhou Tao.
¡°Assistant Zhou, Tianye ... Is Tianye there?¡±
¡°President Mu is holding a press conference and it is not convenient for him to answer the phone now. Do you want me to pass a message, or I will just let President Mu call you backter?¡±
Press conference?
There¡¯s got to be something wrong!
¡°So ... how long will itst?¡±
¡°It should be over at most half an hour.¡±
¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll call againter.¡±
Ning Xiaofei hung up the phone in a panic, raised her hand and grabbed her hair.
At the other end of the phone, Zhou Tao set Mu Tianye¡¯s mobile phone aside and turned his attention back to the podium.
At this point, a reporter at the conference had been named by Mu Tianye and stood up to ask questions.
¡°President Mu¡¯s market investment this time, does it mean that your business will shift in this direction in the future?¡±
¡°The kind of industry in business doesn¡¯t matter. What matters is whether the benefits are substantial. This has always been my principle.¡±
¡°There has been anecdotal news that the second phase of the shopping mall project has entered into upancy agreements with many luxury brands around the world. If I had searched correctly, this trench coat you¡¯re wearing today should be thetest spring collection of one of the brands, which is a far cry from your usual fashion. Does this have any special significance?
Mu Tianye nodded, ¡°Yes. Our goal is to make the New Century a Champs Elysees in Asia.¡±
¡°Thank you very much for your answer, and I must say, you look dashing today!¡±
Laughter erupted from the audience.
On the stage, the man had a rare smile on his lips.
¡°Thank you.¡±
Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, the reporters became more and more enthusiastic about asking questions. The original 15-minute questioning time was extended by five minutes.
When Mu Tianye exited, a reporter spoke boldly.
¡°President Mu, can we take some full-body photos of you?¡±
Zhou Tao was about to step on the stage, and at the same time he gestured to the security guard and prepared to escort him.
Much to his surprise, Mu Tianye, who walked towards the steps, yed the game and cooperated. He stopped and turned to the press room, a clear show of his acquiescence.
Though he made no deliberate posture,pared with his usual indifference, this ttered the reporters.
For a while, the sh kept on.
Zhou Tao stopped under the steps, staring at his own master, who remained calm and coolheaded on the stage. His brain refused to recognize this bolt out of the blue, so he then turned to look out the window.
No, the sun has risen from the east!
M Notes: Xiao Fei is in deep trouble!! hahaha

Chapter 218
As Mu Tianye stepped down the stage, Zhou Tao hurriedly met him, and escorted him out of the conference room with a group of security personnel.
Mu Tianye walked into the elevator apanied by the person in charge of the shopping center and several managers, while Zhou Tao briefed him of his next schedule.
¡°Several directors are already waiting for you in the meeting room. In addition, several other media outlets from the Chamber of Commerce have contacted me and said they wanted to have an exclusive interview with you. A fashion magazine also called for an invite, saying they would like to have you as the cover of their cover.¡±
Mu Tianye, who has never given interviews, attended a TV satellite show ¡°Dialogue with God¡± and participated in the talk show. The news has spread far and wide and all media have been abuzz. Since this morning, Zhou Tao¡¯s phone has been ringing non-stop, and every single call was from different media and journalists, who managed to collect his phone number from some sources. His phone was about to explode.
The man frowned.
"Not going."
He is not a star, what cover magazine.
¡°Uhmm ...¡± Zhou Tao scrambled to speak, ¡°Miss Judy¡¯s agent called and said, Miss Judy wants to invite you to dinner.¡±
¡°That Judy rabbit? [Referring to the heroine of Zootopia]¡±
In the elevator, several peopleughed uncontrobly.
¡°Not Judy the rabbit of ¡¯Zootopia¡¯, but the heroine of ¡¯Xiao Xiong¡¯." Zhou Tao exined,¡± She also said ... She wants to ask you to be the male lead of a new drama.¡±
Mu Tianye raised an eyebrow in disgust, ¡°Tell her that if she dares to take my hype, my movie studio will block her movie, and her producer will never even want to get a penny from me!¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Zhou Tao looked at the workbook in his hand. ¡°In addition ...¡±
"Shut up!"
Mu Tianye frowned at him, stepping out of the elevator, and raising his right hand.
¡°See you in the meeting room in five minutes.¡±
If not a journalist asking him for an interview, it¡¯s an actress inviting him to dinner ... isn¡¯t it annoying?
Zhou Tao originally wanted to inform him of Ning Xiaofei¡¯s call, but when he saw that the man had stepped into the bathroom, he had to swallow his words hard and waved his hands to several people behind his back.
¡°Go ahead and call me if you need anything.¡±
The people were given leave and quickly left to return to their jobs.
.......
.......
In the bathroom.
Two young female staff members were standing in front of the mirror, one was applying makeup, while the other was browsing through her mobile phone and eximing.
"There¡¯s no mistake, just, who is this woman!"
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Xicheng ... has a girlfriend!¡±
¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡±
¡°What¡¯s impossible, look, look ... This picture was taken so clearly, he is definitely Xicheng.¡±
¡°Who is that woman?¡±
¡°I heard that she is a staff member of the column group.¡±
¡°No wonder, I have always been skeptical of why Xicheng would go to that show.¡±
¡°Yeah, didn¡¯t he say earlier before his new song was released that it was inspired by a woman, it¡¯s definitely because of this Ning Xiaofei.¡±
..........
Mu Tianye just walked past through the bathroom and happened to hear thisst sentence. At the mention of Ning Xiaofei¡¯s name, he frowned, stopped, turned around and walked over to grab the woman¡¯s cell phone.
On the screen, there was a bold headline: ¡°Xicheng is in love, mysterious girlfriend turned out to be her!¡±
Below was the said photo.
In the photo, Xicheng was draping a coat on a girl, looking very intimate and considerate.
Although the girl¡¯s face wasn¡¯t captured clearly as she was facing sideways, Mu Tianye still recognized the woman to be Ning Xiaofei at a nce, and the trench coat she was wearing in the photo was even more familiar ¨C It¡¯s this, the one he was wearing now!!

Chapter 218 (2)
The fingers holding the phone tightened by the second and soon, there was a resounding crack.
¡°President Mu ¡ Mu, sorry ¡¡±
¡°We didn¡¯t do it on purpose, or ¡ we''re just in the bathroom!¡±
The two female employees backed away and turned pale, looking at the horrible gloom on the man''s face.
On weekdays, Mu Tianye has always been strict in his requirements. They were caught gossiping right after they came to the bathroom. The two of them were naturally terrified.
Mu Tianye threw the phone back into her arms.
"Get lost!"
One of the two female employees hurriedly caught her mobile phone, and they escaped from the bathroom gripping their cosmetics. Mu Tianye raised his eyes and saw himself in the mirror. Mu Tianye raised his hand and tore off his trench coat then flung it heavily to the ground.
¡°Ning Xiaofei, you have the nerve!¡±
When she went to see Xicheng, would he misunderstand her wearing his clothes?
Even if she wears his clothes, she could have told him honestly why was that so, but she chose to lie to him and imed it as a gift for him ¡
Mu Tianye is notcking clothes, much less a secondhand good!
At this moment, Zhou Tao stepped in holding his phone.
¡°President Mu, the madam just called, she said ¡¡±
¡°Let her die!¡±
The man squeezed every word from his teeth.
Zhou Tao¡¯s chin almostnded. He was just fine a moment ago. What has changed his face, that he''d even curse Ning Xiaofei!
The man stomped his way out. Noting his trench coat on the ground, Zhou Tao rushed over and pointed at it.
¡°President Mu, your coat ¡¡±
The man turned, grabbed his cor, and pressed Zhou Tao against the ss curtain wall on one side.
¡°If I hear you talking about clothes again, I¡¯ll throw you out with it.¡±
His temper has always been terrible, but this is the first time he has be so furious with him, even Zhou Tao was scared by him incoherently.
¡°I¡¯m ¡ sorry!¡±
Loosening his grip, Mu Tianye then strode to the conference room.
Zhou Tao nced sideways and nced at the windbreaker in his hand, still in a fog.
What the hell is going on here?
The phone vibrated and saw Ning Xiaofei¡¯s call again. Zhou Tao hurriedly answered the phone.
¡°Is Tianye still in the bathroom?¡±
Zhou Tao nced at Mu Tianye, who disappeared in front of him, and he turned around and walked into the bathroom.
¡°Madam, President Mu is very upset now. If there''s something important, it''s better to callter.¡±
¡°But this is a very urgent matter.¡±
¡°He just lost his temper. It¡¯s really not the right time.¡±
¡°Is something wrong with thepany?¡±
¡°No, he was just fine before he went to the bathroom. Then when he came back, he took off his coat, and said to throw it away, I don¡¯t know what happened!¡±
¡°Coat¡¡± Ning Xiaofei¡¯s heart sank, ¡°Is that a silver-gray trench coat?¡±
"Yes."
He knows!
¡°Where are you now?¡±
¡°The New Century za.¡±
¡°Okay ¡ I¡¯ll be right there.¡±
Ning Xiaofei hung up the phone in a hurry, immediately ran back to the office, and entered Ji Mo¡¯s office.
"Director Ji, I have an urgent matter on hand, can Ie backter and write the n?"
Ji Mo raised his face with concern, ¡°Nothing serious?¡±
¡°No, it''s something personal.¡±
Ji Mo nodded, ¡°Go!¡±
After thanking him, she hurried back, gathered up herputer on the desk and packed her notebook into her backpack.
¡°Xiao Fei!¡± Xiao Song at the front desk saw her, and asked right away, ¡°Did you see ¡¡±

next
Chapter 220
Xiao Song originally wanted to ask Ning Xiaofei if she had seen the news. But before she could finish speaking, Ning Xiaofei waved her hands and dashed into the elevator.
¡°Xiao Fei ?!¡±
When Xiao Song grabbed her phone and chased after her, she was no longer visible.
Looking at the news on her mobile phone, Xiao Song hurriedly scrolled for her number and dialed, and was answered by a busy tone.
In the elevator, Ning Xiaofei reached out and pressed the button on the first floor, and fumbled for the phone in her pocket and pasted it on her ear to answer a call.
"Mr. Xicheng, can I help you?"
¡°Xiao Fei, are you at the TV station?¡±
¡°Yes, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Wait for me there, I¡¯lle over right away.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t, I¡¯m in a rush now.¡±
¡°Xiao Fei, listen to me, don¡¯t ...¡±
On the other side of the phone, Xicheng heard a tut tut in the phone receiver, and then the sound went muffled.
¡°Hello? Hello ?!¡±
Ning Xiaofei nced at her mobile phone and looked, and then sent it to her ears, but she still couldn¡¯t hear clearly. So she simply shut it down.
At the same time, the elevator had descended to the first floor. She was jolted by Mu Tianye¡¯s affairs, and immediately gripped her mobile phone and rushed out of the TV station door.
As she walked down the steps, she saw several figures from afar, all of which were spearing cannons. Her brows twisted gloomily.
She¡¯s unaware that there would be any big dogs visiting the station today, there were too many reporters.
It¡¯s not a surprise for celebrities to often appear at the station, and reporters would also crowd outside to chase and interview them. This has been going on for so long. Ning Xiaofei didn¡¯t care too much.
She rushed out of the door and made a beeline towards the gate while returning a call to Xicheng.
¡°Sorry, the signal in the elevator just now was intermittent. What were you saying?¡±
¡°Reporters must be waiting for you now, you must note out!¡±
Reporters?
Ning Xiaofei stopped suspiciously and turned to look at the reporters not far away.
Are they ... Did theye for her?
This turn of her face coincided with the eyes of a reporter who recognized her a little, but was still unsure if she was the gossip¡¯s heroine.
¡°Ning Xiaofei?¡±
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s nched and retreated to flee.
The reporter¡¯s question was like stinging a horse honeb. The group of reporters rushed over like flies and crowded around Ning Xiaofei.
There were too many reporters. She has just taken a few steps and has already been surrounded by the crowd.
Numerous microphones and recording pens were pointed at her, and shes from cameras red non-stop, stinging her eyes with a tingling pain.
¡°Miss Ning, when did you and Xicheng meet?¡±
¡°Di Mr. Xicheng attended the show because of your rtionship?¡±
¡°Are the two of you already cohabiting?¡±
...........
For the first time being pushed in the center of this kind of situation, Ning Xiaofei was panicked.
¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong, it¡¯s not what you think. Excuse me, I still have something to do!¡±
A big god like Xicheng was suddenly exposed in the middle of a scandal, this is a huge scoop, of course, the reporters would never let her go.
¡°How long have you known each other?¡±
¡°Is the woman that Mr. Xicheng mentioned before you?¡±
.......
"Mr. Xicheng and I are purely business rted. Please, excuse me!"
Ning Xiaofei blocked the reporter and squeezed out in desperation to escape, but was grabbed by another impatient reporter. In the struggle, her mobile phone dropped from her hand. She bent down to pick it up, and was squeezed by another reporter, pushing her into flopping on the ground.
On the side of the road, inside a ck SUV, Xicheng, who rushed from his apartment saw the riot at a nce, and immediately barked loudly.
"Park!"

Chapter 221
**************************************************************************************
Grasping his intention, Xu Yang hurriedly spoke.
"If you go down like this, it will only get worse and worse..."
Before he finished speaking, Xicheng had pushed the car door and Xu Yang was so startled, he quickly stepped on the brakes.
The car had yet to stop when Xicheng jumped off and rushed to the crowd of reporters in three long strides.
"Make way at once!"
His shout jolted everyone at the scene.
When the reporters saw it was Xicheng, they were first taken aback, then began to snap photos.
"Move!" The reporter blocking his way was pushed to the side, then Xicheng scurried into the crowd and grabbed Ning Xiaofei¡¯s arm and pulled her up from the ground. "Come at me on my affairs. Bullying a girl, are you still humans?"
Seeing the reporters still snapping pictures, he grabbed one reporter¡¯s SLR and smashed it into the ground. Several reporters screamed and pulled back.
Ning Xiaofei turned her face and looked at the phone she had dropped, just as she saw a reporter¡¯s foot step on the phone screen.
¡°My phone.¡±
She cried, rushing over, prompting the reporter into retreating.
Looking at the phone with the broken screen, Ning Xiaofei just scowled.
"You¡¯ve gone too far!"
There were still reporters taking photos so Xichen pulled her behind him, turned around, raised his fingers and pointed at the reporters one by one.
¡°Weekly Entertainment, A City Daily ... Okay, I¡¯ll remember you!¡±
In the face of his zing eyes, the reporters stepped back timidly.
¡°Mr. Xicheng, we¡¯re also just doing our jobs!¡±
"Right, there¡¯s no way we can retreat on this!"
.........
¡°Humph!¡±
Xicheng grunted, turned and helped Ning Xiaofei into the car. He sat in the back seat of the car and closed the door with a bang. Xu Yang immediately started the car and entered the driveway.
The reporters chased and snapped a few more, then dispersed, watching that car that had disappeared from the traffic flow.
As the car moved forward, Ning Xiaofei pulled her right hand.
Noting that his hand was still on her wrist, Xicheng hurriedly released his fingers.
¡°Thank you.¡± Ning Xiaofei said gratefully.
Faced with that kind of situation for the first time, she really did not know how to deal with it.
¡°I should be the one apologizing.¡± Xicheng frowned, and looked up and down, ¡°Are you hurt?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Ning Xiaofei shook her head, and her eyes fell doubtfully. ¡°What the hell is going on?¡±
Suddenly pushed into the limelight by the reporters and was even asked if she was living with Xicheng, as the person implicated, she was still confused.
Guessing that she still doesn¡¯t know, Xicheng stretched out a newspaper next to him and delivered it to her.
The front page headline and huge photos are exactly the shots when he helped her to wear his coat.
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s brows knotted in an instant. No wonder Mu Tianye would throw such a huge temper, it seems that he also saw the news.
¡°It all happened because of me.¡± Xicheng apologized aside. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry for the trouble I have caused. But rest assured, I will hold a press conference as soon as possible to rify this matter.¡±
Ning Xiaofei sighed as she closed the newspaper in her hand.
He is an emperor superstar, who can hit the headlines with just a cup of coffee at the airport. She¡¯s afraid that this matter won¡¯t calm down so easily. But this wasn¡¯t the point.
The point is how was she going to exin this to Mu Tianye.

Chapter 222
"Under these circumstances, you¡¯d better not show your face, take a few days off from the TV station, and ... don¡¯t go home either. They photographed us there yesterday, so they will definitely stare there.¡± Looking back, Xicheng saw no signs of reporters chasing after the, so he was relieved. He turned and caught the apprehension on Ning Xiaofei¡¯s face. He paused, ¡°Xiao Fei, otherwise, I will arrange a ce for you to stay. Juste back after the limelight passes. What do you think?¡±
¡°Oh, no need.¡± Ning Xiaofei promptly refused. ¡°I¡¯ll figure it out myself, it¡¯s okay.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t understand. These reporters won¡¯t let you go easily.¡±
For so many years in the entertainment industry, Xicheng knows how terrible these reporters are better than anyone else. Ning Xiaofei¡¯s life will definitely be in shambles in the future. It¡¯s unlikely that they would give up such big news.
A scandal is an uphill battle more than anything else.
¡°Then I can¡¯t do nothing, right?¡± Ning Xiaofei smiled. ¡°Assistant Xu, please stop the car in front.¡±
How could she control what those reporters would write? At present, clearing things up with Mu Tianye is the most critical.
¡°Where are you going, should we send you?¡± Xu Yang asked.
¡°No, I¡¯ll just have to take a taxi.¡± Ning Xiaofei said politely.
¡°Miss Ning, don¡¯t be polite. This is really our fault.¡± Xu Yang stopped the car in front of the red light and turned his face apologetically. ¡°If you¡¯re too polite, Mr. Xicheng and I would feel thoroughly guilty."
Ning Xiaofei nced at Xicheng.
Sure enough, Xicheng, who has always been arrogant and indifferent, at this moment, has his brows knotted and his face distressed.
To the media, Xicheng has always been indifferent. It doesn¡¯t matter how they like to write or portray him.
But this time is different. They not only wrote about him, but also Ning Xiaofei. Since knowing the incident in the morning, Xicheng felt deeply regretful for his impulse, for causing this situation.
Ning Xiaofei refused no longer. ¡°Then please send me to the New Century za. I need to find someone there.¡±
Xu Yang restarted the car, and turned to look at the worried Xicheng, giving him a soothing smile.
¡°It¡¯s okay, this isn¡¯t too terrible! In fact, you don¡¯t have to be so nervous, isn¡¯t it just a misunderstanding, just exin it clearly. This isn¡¯t your fault. Those reporters have always been guided with this kind of character. I¡¯ve been too careless today, so just pay more attentionter.¡±
Actually, she¡¯s more troubled than Xicheng.
But, what else could be done?
The matter has alreadye out so she can only deal with it. If only she could turn back time, she definitely would have not gone to the meal yesterday and cause so much trouble.
The more sheforted, the more unhappy Xicheng was, ¡°If you are annoyed, you can scold me!¡±
Ning Xiaofei chuckled andughed, ¡°Are you really Xicheng? Why do I think I met a fake male god?¡±
Xicheng froze and joined in theughter.
At this point, the car was driving in the vicinity of the New Century Shopping Center. Xu Yang was also worried about the prying eyes of the crowd so he deliberately drove the car behind an office building with few people around.
¡°There are few people here, would you like to get off here?¡±
¡°Okay!¡± Ning Xiaofei pushed the door. See youter then.¡±
¡°Xiao Fei!¡± Xicheng hurriedly called after her, ¡°Remember to be careful, call me at any time.¡±
"Okay."
She nodded to him, closed the door and darted towards the New Century Building.

Chapter 223
Xu Yang restarted the car, but Xicheng ordered him in the back seat.
¡°I¡¯ll wait for you here, help her buy a new cell phone, give it to her before we go!¡±
All he knows is the contact details of the TV station and it would be inconvenient to contact Ning Xiaofei without her phone. Besides, the mobile phone was also broken because of him, so it¡¯s still appropriate to buy her a new one.
¡°Then you wait here.¡±
Xu Yang nodded, pulled the car door, and walked towards the mall.
...........
...........
As soon as she entered the building, Ning Xiaofei was stopped by the security guard, prompting her to hang her word ID. Hearing her indicate that she was not an employee here, she was immediately brought to the front desk to register.
Ning Xiaofei had no choice but to fold back to the front desk. When she said she was here to see Mu Tianye, thedy at the front desk looked her up and down.
¡°Do you have an appointment?¡±
Ning Xiaofei shook her head.
"So what is your business with President Mu?"
¡°It¡¯s a private matter.¡± Ning Xiaofei bit her lip. ¡°Can I borrow your phone?¡±
The receptionist apologized, ¡°Sorry, we can onlymunicate through the inte.¡±
¡°Then you can help me buzz the president¡¯s office. Tell them I¡¯m looking for Assistant Zhou.¡±
Her rtionship with Mu Tianye was not made public, and it is impossible for other people to believe it. She could only contact Assistant Zhou first since her phone is again out of order.
The receptionist helped her inform the president¡¯s office and hung up after asking a few words.
¡°Assistant Zhou is not in the office.¡±
Ning Xiaofei was immediately depressed. She couldn¡¯t find them, and her phone was broken again. What should she do now?
She turned her face to see that the security guard has reached the corner of the hall. Ning Xiaofei bit her lip, turned and rushed towards the elevator passage.
¡°Hey, miss!¡±
The receptionist eximed, ¡°You can¡¯t go in.¡±
The security guard heard the voice over here and immediately turned to Ning Xiaofei and chased after her.
Ning Xiaofei ignored them. She just darted all the way into the elevator in time to hear a tink. One of the elevator doors separated, and she immediately turned and rushed forward.
A sh flickered at the corner of her eyes and she almost ran into someone.
Seeing who the man was, she rejoiced at once.
¡°Assistant Zhou, what about Tianye?¡±
Zhou Tao recognized her and turned his gaze behind him.
Sure enough, Mu Tianye, headed by several directors, wasing out of the elevator.
¡°Hus ...¡± Ning Xiaofei turned around and rushed towards him. Seeing the crowd behind him, she quickly collected herself and gave him a smiley face, ¡°Tianye, can I have a word with you?¡±
Mu Tianye passed her a nce, but walked past her as if she was air.
¡°Miss, you really can¡¯t go in!¡±
By this time, two security guards have rushed over and seeing that Ning Xiaofei was about to ¡¯entangle¡¯ Mu Tianye, they grabbed her arms on both sides.
"Let go!¡¯
Zhou Tao screamed loudly, startling the two guards. They released Ning Xiaofei in fright.
With this effort, Mu Tianye has already gone far.
Ning Xiaofei hurriedly chased after him, stumbling on his heels and crashing onto him, pleading softly: ¡°Tianye, listen to me, I¡¯ll exin, okay ...¡±
The man stopped and stared daggers at her.
¡°I don¡¯t want to hear you say a word again!¡±
After that, Mu Tianye strode forward.
Several directors looked curiously at Ning Xiaofei. Though they were dying to know her identity, they still bypassed her, and followed Mu Tianye forward.
"Tianye..."
Ning Xiaofei turned to chase, but ran too fast and slipped on her heels, almost falling. Fortunately, Zhou Tao rushed forward and grabbed her arm.
"Madam!"

Chapter 224
Hearing Zhou Tao¡¯s cry of rm, Mu Tianye¡¯s brows wrinkled. He halted abruptly and turned around.... Before he could turnpletely, he stopped again and elerated to continue striding forward.
"Hold this for me!"
Ning Xiaofei shoved her bag to Zhou Tao and quickly took off her heels. She held them in her hands and stepped on the marble floor barefoot, chasing out the automatic door, and finally blocked Mu Tianye on the steps.
Holding her heels in one hand, she stretched out her arm and stood in front of him, panting.
¡°I know it¡¯s my fault. I¡¯m very sorry. Give me five minutes, okay? I beg you!¡±
"Get out of the way!"
The man¡¯s voice was shards of ice.
"Not until you hear me out."
The man¡¯s voice suddenly rose.
"Get out!"
"I won¡¯t go!" Ning Xiaofei stretched her arms and looked at him with red eyes, ¡°I know I was wrong, I apologize to you, you can hit me, you can scold me, as long as you forgive me, all right?!¡±
"Humph!" Mu Tianye snorted, stepped forward to stand in front of her, ¡°Forgive you?¡±
He has never been known for letting someone off the hook, as for forgiving...
Only her.
Once, twice, three times ...
But what about her? Her offenses are getting bigger and bigger.
"Put away your crocodile tears, I never forgive twice!"
Gritting his teeth and taking a deep breath, Mu Tianye pushed her arm away and strode down the steps.
¡°Tianye!¡± Ning Xiaofei reached out and grabbed his shirt. ¡°I promise, I swear, this is thest time.¡±
¡°Do not touch me!¡±
In his fury, Mu Tianye suddenly raised his arm and wanted to throw her arm away, but his elbow identally knocked her nose. Ning Xiaofei only felt the soreness of her nose. A seemingly golden light shed in front of her and she instinctively covered her nose, and crouched ufortably down on the steps.
¡°Madam!¡± Zhou Tao rushed over and held Ning Xiaofei¡¯s arm. ¡°Are you all right?¡±
At this point, Mu Tianye had already sat in the back seat of the car, nced down on the steps, where Ning Xiaofei was squatting. The man¡¯s fingers tightened sharply and even his joints were pale due to exertion.
Dead girl, think she¡¯ll soften him with her pitiful act?
This time, don¡¯t ever think about it!
"Start the car!"
The man hollered loudly, Zhou Tao looked at the car not far away, and quickly took out the handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.
¡°I¡¯m sorry madam, I¡¯m leaving now!¡±
He trotted to the side of the car and boarded the passenger seat worriedly, and before the driver responded, Mu Tianye kicked his seat heavily.
¡°Drive!¡±
The driver hurriedly started the car and quickly left the New Century Building. Several directors¡¯ cars followed, and they went to Mu¡¯s side for a meeting.
On the passenger seat, Zhou Tao nced at Ning Xiaofei who was curled in ce covering her nose.
¡°President Mu, madam, she ...¡±
The man interrupted him coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t care if she dies!¡±
Daring not toment again, Zhou Tao sat quietly in the passenger seat.
It doesn¡¯t matter. She¡¯s just another woman. She¡¯s not worth it!
Taking a deep breath, the man opened hisputer and stared at the screen.
He originally wanted to preview the data of the meeting, but as soon as the screen lit up, theputer prompted an update, Mu Tianye moved the mouse to click Cancel.
Gazing at the flower picture on the screen as the backdrop, he paused, his finger swiped and mispointed on the button for the update, theputer automatically jumped to the update interface.
¡°Damn it!¡±
The man cursed heatedly, his hand rose and the screen was mmed closed and went ck.

Chapter 225
In the front seat, neither the driver nor Zhou Tao dared to turn around, but they were as silent as cicadas. The air is too scary.
..............
..............
On the steps.
Ning Xiaofei removed her hand, only to see a red blood spot on her palm, and then the blood dripped down and fell on her knee.
She quickly used the handkerchief given by Zhou Tao to hold down the bleeding on her right nostril. She stretched out one hand to pull out her backpack and take out some tissue.
One hand working is inevitably a bitborious. While struggling with the bag, sudden footsteps sounded then a pair of feet with ck boots stood in front of her. And then, somebody handed her a handkerchief with a white cloth and a blue grid.
¡°No ... no, I have tissue in my bag, thank you!¡± Ning Xiaofei raised her face gratefully, and touched Xicheng¡¯s handsome face, secretly surprised, ¡°Xicheng?¡±
Seeing her palms and face bloodied, Xicheng¡¯s brows furled. When he wanted to stuff the handkerchief in her palms again, his eyes caught a glimpse of her heels. He crouched down and slowly put them on her feet, "What happened?"
Ning Xiaofei took over the shoes and put them by herself. ¡°Nothing, I identally fell!¡±
He noticed that the security guard and the passing pedestrians are looking at them curiously. Xicheng reached out and helped her up, then held Ning Xiaofei¡¯s arm in one hand to support her.
¡°No, I can stand by myself.¡±
"People are looking at us!"
Ning Xiaofei nced around and sure enough, even the guard was paying attention and was giving them the "I caught you" eyes.
Afraid that they would recognize Xicheng, she could not refuse anymore, so she had to follow him down the steps and return to the car.
Xicheng rummaged for a box in the backseat, where he found some wet wipes and handed them to her.
With one hand on her nose, Ning Xiaofei wiped the bloodstains on her knee with a wet wipe.
There were also blood stains from the back of her hands, which looked totally scary against her white skin.
Taking everything in his eyes, Xicheng¡¯s eyebrows became more and more wrinkled, ¡°Why did he hit you?¡±
Ning Xiaofei nced, guessing that he saw everything just now, and she shook her head, ¡°No, it¡¯s because I wasn¡¯t careful, it¡¯s not his fault.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve seen everything, he obviously hit you, but you¡¯re still helping him cover it up?¡± Xicheng frowned, his voice rose angrily, ¡°Is it because of the news?¡±
When Xu Yang left with orders to buy her a mobile phone, Xicheng kept staring at the door in the car in fear that she would miss her leaving.
Of course, he clearly saw how Ning Xiaofei came chasing out. It¡¯s just that he couldn¡¯t make out what¡¯s going on in the distance. Thinking that it¡¯s her personal affairs, he didn¡¯t move in the car.
Later, Ning Xiaofei was left squatting on the steps alone, and the situation didn¡¯t seem right, so he went over and looked worriedly.
In connection to Mu Tianye¡¯s help, it wasn¡¯t difficult for Xicheng to guess that their rtionship wasn¡¯t ordinary.
¡°No, no, don¡¯t get me wrong.¡± Ning Xiaofei waved her hands quickly, ¡°It really has nothing to do with him, he ... he didn¡¯t mean it.¡±
¡°Humph!¡± Xicheng snorted softly. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t intentional, how did you end up like this?¡±
Ning Xiaofei was speechless.
Coincidentally, Xu Yang returned after buying the mobile phone, and opened the door to see Ning Xiaofei, whose face was covered with blood. He was shocked.
¡°Miss Ning, what happened?¡±
¡°I fell!¡± Ning Xiaofei hurriedly covered everything up, and then grabbed the wipes on her legs. ¡°Then I will go first, sorry for the trouble.¡±
As soon as she reached for the door, Xicheng¡¯s hand reached out and grabbed her arm.

Chapter 226
While the house is already leaking, it keeps raining the whole night
As soon as she reached for the door, Xicheng¡¯s hand reached out and grabbed her arm.
¡°Go to the hospital first.¡±
¡°No need, this is nothing.¡± Ning Xiaofei removed the handkerchief. ¡°Look, the bleeding has stopped.¡±
As if against her, as soon as she spoke, blood dripped down from her nose, and she quickly moved her fingers to press it.
¡°Drive?¡± Xicheng ordered.
¡°Mr. Xicheng!¡± Xu Yang looked distressed. ¡°Shall we go to the vi and call Dr. Li over?¡±
This is the critical period. If they were to go to the hospital and get captured by reporters, gossip will start flying again.
¡°No need to bother you.¡± Ning Xiaofei pulled her wrist from his hand and opened the door smoothly. ¡°I¡¯ll take care of it myself.¡±
¡°Xiao Fei!¡±
¡°Otherwise, shall I go with you?¡± Xu Yang took the initiative.
¡°No, I¡¯ll go by myself.¡± Ning Xiaofei said calmly, but insisted, ¡°I have something else to deal with in the afternoon.¡±
¡°Then ... take this!¡± Xicheng handed her the mobile phone Xu Yang bought back.
Just looking at the box, Ning Xiaofei recognized the brand of the phone so she shrank.
"That¡¯s too much!"
¡°Here!¡± The man stuffed the cell phone to her again.
Ning Xiaofei looked up. ¡°Xicheng, if you really want to be my friend, don¡¯t be so polite.¡±
¡°Then ... Fine!¡± Xicheng had to take back the mobile phone. ¡°Be sure to go to the hospital for an examination and then notify me.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Ning Xiaofei got out of the car. ¡°Go ahead, it will be trouble to be seen again.¡±
Helping him close the door and waving at him across the window, Ning Xiaofei immediately turned around and walked quickly into the distance.
Looking at her distant figure across the window, Xicheng¡¯s eyebrows twisted.
"Mu Tianye bastard!"
Xu Yang zipped his mouth, but just started the car and drove slowly into the traffic.
Ning Xiaofei trotted all the way and went into a bathroom in the shopping mall. She quickly scooped water to wash off the blood on her face. She just washed the stains on her face, when blood started to drip down her nose once more.
She raised her face and looked at the mirror in front of her. Her nose was red and her eyes were red. She lifted her fingertips and touched the bridge of her nose, and immediately felt a tingling.
Footsteps rang softly when someone came in. Ning Xiaofei frowned, hurriedly picked up her things, and turned to walk out of the bathroom.
When she got out and gged a taxi, she asked the driver to go to the hospital and was ushered into the emergency department.
As if the situation wasn¡¯t bad enough, the emergency department has just admitted a traumatic injury. She queued for two hours before getting to the doctor. The doctor was worried that she might have suffered from a nasal bone injury, so she asked her to go through a CT scan.
Then there was a queue for payment, a queue for the scan, the wait for the CT results ... When it finally arrived and she returned to the emergency room, the doctors had already switched to night shifts.
She again lined up for the results she had received for a few hours, but the doctor just nced and helped her to write a medicine list. When she finally paid for the medicine and left the hospital, it was already early in the evening.
Her nosebleed had stopped, but the inside of her nose was still aching and painful, and her stomach was a little ufortable. She was in a rush in the morning and went out without breakfast. Until now, she had barely had a drink on this day.
Standing on the side of the road, she waited for more than half an hour before gging an empty cab. It came with a couple going to the hospital. As she boarded the cab and ran the highway, she was already too exhausted to even curse.

Vi study.
Mu Tianye looked at the crooked signature at the end of the document, frowned at the signature pen in his hand, threw the pen into the trash can, raised his face, and caught a glimpse of a book lying askew in a neat row of shelves.
He frowned, took the book from the shelf and wanted to straighten it. Noticing a bookmark inside, he flipped it open, and saw the reading notes written in pencil at a nce.
The notes were written at random and everywhere.
With one nce, Mu Tianye threw the book back to the bookshelf.
He never had the habit of writing notes, needless to say, it¡¯s Ning Xiaofei¡¯s work.
Dead girl, she even dared to mess with his book, and dared to scribble on it ...
The man walked out of the study angrily, passed by the guest room, saw the partly open door, and the scene of a big worm crawling out of the bed shed in his mind. He huffed furiously and immediately stretched his hand to close the door.
Turning into the master bedroom, he tore his shirt off and entered the cloakroom. He originally wanted to gather some clothes to take a bath. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw her clothes crowded between his suits on the shelf.
The man scowled and turned, opened the drawer of his underwear, but what he saw was herce undies in the corner of the drawer ...
Damn Ning Xiaofei, she simply made a mess of his life.
Bang!
He mmed the drawer heavily and went downstairs, unaware of the vibrations of his phone in the study.
As soon as he took a bottle of wine from the wine rack, the telephone line rang. Mu Tianye walked over with the bottle and raised his hand to grab the handset.
¡°Young master, it¡¯s me.¡± Miss Liu¡¯s voice was on the phone. ¡°Are you with the Madam?¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°Then she must be working overtime that¡¯s why she hasn¡¯te back yet. But I can¡¯t reach her mobile phone!¡±
¡°Wherever she wants to go or who she is with, I don¡¯t care!¡±
Mu Tianye shouted at the handset, raised his hand and dropped the handset back to thendline.
On the other side of the phone, Miss Liu heard the blind tone, frowned and hung up the phone.
They were just finest night. What has happened today?
After thinking about it, she turned and found her phone from her bag, and was about to call Assistant Zhou to ask. With a soft beep, Ning Xiaofei pushed the door and walked in.
¡°Young madam!¡± Miss Liu greeted her. But when she saw her red and swollen nose bridge, she immediately asked with concern, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your nose?¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, I identally fell.¡± Ning Xiaofei nced at the living room. ¡°Is Tianye back?¡±
Miss Liu guessed that the two must be quarrelling again, so she said, ¡°Young master is at the vi.¡±
Ning Xiaofei nodded, ¡°Has he ... has he been on the phone?¡±
¡°No, I was worried about you, so I called and asked. No one answered the phone. I just finished calling the vi.¡±
¡°Then what did he say?¡± She asked promptly.
¡°Young master, he ...¡± Miss Liu frowned and didn¡¯t dare to tell the truth, and advised instead. ¡°He said ... He didn¡¯t know where you were. Young madam, it¡¯s inevitable that a husband and wife would quarrel. Young master¡¯s temper has always been bad, but if you exin everything properly, everything will be fine.¡±
¡°Yeah, I know.¡±
Ning Xiaofei pursed her lips, walked upstairs, and dialed the vi¡¯s line using the study extension.
It¡¯s been a whole day, and now she hopes he¡¯s calmed down a bit and can give her a chance to apologize and exin.
The phone rang a few times, but when Ning Xiaofei thought Mu Tianye would not answer, the phone suddenly connected.
.......

Chapter 228
Hearing that the call was connected, Ning Xiaofei was so happy she took a deep breath before speaking.
Mu Tianye however didn¡¯t give her a chance to speak, and growled at the receiver.
¡°How many times do I have to say, don¡¯t mention a word of that Ning Xiaofei anymore, I don¡¯t know or want to know!¡±
Since the phone record shows that it was a call from the apartment, he thought it was Miss Liu again trying to inquire about Ning Xiaofei. He didn¡¯t even consider it would be Ning Xiaofei on the other end of the phone.
Huh!
Then m the phone back.
"Tian...."
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s voice was immediately interrupted by blind tones.
Her brows furrowed tighter as she gazed at the phone she had put back on the cradle in front of her.
At the other end of the phone.
Mu Tianye sat back heavily on the sofa, took the wine ss from the coffee table, frowned and paused.
Isn¡¯t that girl back home yet?
She wouldn¡¯t be in any ident, right?
She has nowhere else to go to. Where can she go sote?
Humph!
Now that she¡¯s gossiped to be a superstar¡¯s girlfriend, there¡¯s no need to worry about her.
But what if!
Mu Tianye, she¡¯s just another woman, do you really have to mind?
I am her man, and of course I have the power over her.
Damn girl, you¡¯d better return back to the apartment obediently, if you dare not go home tonight ... you¡¯re dead!
......
Humph!
cing the wine ss back to the coffee table, Mu Tianye got up and walked to the door, grabbed his car key and left the vi.
He boarded his car, started the ignition and rushed out of the vi area.
Lanting Apartment.
Ning Xiaofei grabbed the handset again and pressed redial.
The call went but no one answered.
She hung up, called again, but still no one answered.
The guy must be in a fit of anger and refuse to answer her call.
What should she do?
After a fewps in the study, Ning Xiaofei couldn¡¯t calm down.
A man so proud of himself, how could he not get angry after knowing the truth?
She nibbled on her lips before walking downstairs.
Miss Liu was no longer around. Knowing that she was in a bad mood, Miss Liu had quietly packed away her things and quietly left without disturbing her.
Ning Xiaofei rushed to the side of the coffee table, opened her backpack, took out the small gift box from it, and looked carefully to make sure that it was not damaged. Then she carefully stuffed it back to the backpack, changed her shoes, and walked out of the apartment.
No matter what, she must find him today and exin everything to him clearly.
Downstairs, she trotted all the way to the side of the road, gged down a taxi and immediately sat in the back seat.
¡°Yayuan Vi District.¡±
The night was deep and there were few cars on the road.
On the overpass, the taxi runs slowly on the right-handne on the road, while a Mercedes zipped past on the left-handne. It staggered up and down with the driver in the front seat, and an antsy woman in the back seat, anxious.
¡°Master, please drive a little faster.¡±
While Ning Xiaofei was urging the driver, Mu Tianye on the road also stepped on the elerator to speed up the car.
After a while, the taxi stopped outside the vi¡¯s gate.
She pulled out a bill and paid the fare, not even caring about the change. Ning Xiaofei pulled the car door and ran off, all the way to the door of Mu Tianye¡¯s vi located deep in the neighborhood. She was already panting and sweat was dripping out on her back.
Regardless of her state, she stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
The lights were on inside, but no one responded.
Ning Xiaofei rummaged through her backpack but couldn¡¯t find the key. Well, she hasn¡¯t been in the vi recently. Why would she carry the key with her all the time?
Chapter 229
Nobody responded after ringing the doorbell a few more times, so Ning Xiaofei banged the door.
¡°Husband, Tianye ... Mu Tianye ... I know I was wrong, you can hit me and scold me, but please open the door ... Mu Tianye ...¡±
No matter how she shouted, there was no response inside the door.
She got tired knocking, and her throat was dry from shouting, but the door was still tightly closed.
¡°Fine, you¡¯re lionhearted, you won¡¯t open the door, yeah ...¡± Ning Xiaofei sat on the steps panting heavily, ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. Come out if you have the guts.¡±
At the same time.
Mu Tianye returned to Lanting Apartment, entered the password, opened the code lock and rushed inside.
Scanning the empty living room, the man mmed the door heavily.
¡°Ning Xiaofei, get out of here!¡±
Silence.
He frowned and went upstairs into the master bedroom. The bed was folded neatly without traces of sleep.
In the study, the light was on but herputer was nowhere to be seen.
Second bedroom, nobody.
He turned downstairs, looked around, and found no trace of her. In the hallway, her slippers were neatly ced on the shoe rack.
Looking at the time on his wristwatch, Mu Tianye turned around and sat down on the sofa. He rummaged through his pockets only to remember that he forgot to take his phone. The man reached out and grabbed thendline, entered her phone number, but once thest digit was pressed, he mmed the phone back down then took it up again.
¡°Ning Xiaofei, you¡¯d bettere back obediently, otherwise ... you¡¯re dead!¡±
Time slipped by.
At Lanting apartment, the man on the sofa repeatedly raised his wrist to look at his watch, turned his face in the direction of the door, and gritted his teeth inwardly.
¡°I¡¯ll give you another hour. If you don¡¯te back before midnight, I will never forgive you!¡±
At Yayuan Vi, Ning Xiaofei raised her face and looked at the window still lit, ¡°Mu Tianye, aren¡¯t you going toe out, let me tell you ... I know you¡¯re in there. It¡¯s no use pretending you¡¯re dead. If you have the guts, get yourself out here, or else you¡¯ll rot inside for a lifetime.¡±
Leaning against the doorpost on the side, she couldn¡¯t help yawning, retracting her exposed legs and hugging herself.
The guy said that he didn¡¯t like her wearing jeans, and this time, he bought her dresses.
Meow, she¡¯ll be frozen to death!
¡°Mu Tianye, if you still don¡¯te out, I will freeze to death before your very eyes!¡±
¡°You have no conscience!¡±
"Ahchooooo!"
Raising her hands and rubbing her nose, she rubbed her cold calf and stood up and kicked the door heavily.
¡°Mu Tianye, are you a man, huh? I¡¯m freezing to death!¡±
¡°If you still refuse toe out, I¡¯ll smash the window!¡±
¡°Your wife is going to freeze to death!¡±
.......
Biting her lip, she nced around quickly, noticing the balcony on the second floor, her eyes suddenly brightened.
¡°You thought I couldn¡¯t do anything without you, right?¡±
Standing up to the corner of the wall, Ning Xiaofei scanned the surroundings, put her backpack behind her, grabbed an ornament at the edge of the wall, and carefully climbed up the railing.
It took her tremendous efforts and lost one of her shoes, before finally managing to grab the railing of the balcony on the second floor.
Before her sigh of relief was exported, she heard rapid footsteps behind her, and then several shlights hit her all together.
¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°Come down this instant!¡±
......
Ning Xiaofei was startled. When she stepped on her heels on the brick railing, she slipped off and fell heavily on thewn.
She squinted at the security guards who rushed at her, stood up with her little butt hurting, and attempted to exin with a brittle smile.
¡°Comrade Security, Uncle Security ... Don¡¯t get me wrong, I ... I¡¯m not a thief. This is my house. I live here, but I just forgot to bring my key.¡±
next
Chapter 230
Several security guards nced up and down at Ning Xiaofei in unison.
The messy hair covered with des of grass, the red and swollen nose bridge, and the body covered with dirt and stains from east to west, and several scratches on the dress, with one hand shaking, one hand supporting her waist, two bare feet, there¡¯s not one inch of her proiming her identity as part of the wealthy.
"Really, if you don¡¯t believe me, knock on the door, my husband is inside.¡±
Several security guards exchanged nces, and a security guard who seemed to be the security chief raised his chin lightly.
¡°Watch her!¡±
Then he turned to knock on the door.
Ning Xiaofei grabbed her high heels on the ground, hesitated to wear them, and just stepped on the grass on bare feet.
The security guard knocked a few times and raised his voice but no one came out.
¡°Excuse me, is anyone there?¡±
Inside the house, there was no semnce of noise.
The security guard knocked again, his eyes turned, and looked sharply at Ning Xiaofei.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say your husband is in there? There¡¯s no one there!¡±
The whole vi was silent.
"Husband? Tianye.... Mu Tianye!!" Unwilling to give up to the end, Ning Xiaofei couldn¡¯t help but re up. She grabbed her high heels and mmed on the door, ¡°Mu Tianye, if you don¡¯te out, I...I¡¯ll divorce you!¡±
Inside the door, there was still a dead silence.
¡°Come on, stop pretending!¡± The security chief scolded her coldly, ¡°Take her to the security room!¡±
Two security guards rushed over, grabbed her arms and took her to the security room. Ning Xiaofei exined to no avail. She wished she could pinch their thighs of others, but she could only follow obediently to the security room. The security chief in the end has also spent more than a few years on his job. Afraid of something going wrong and affecting the image of themunity, he did not dare to call the police and just called the manager on duty.
The security manager arrived in haste once he heard that a female thief was caught red handed.
At this moment, the security guard had checked Ning Xiaofei¡¯s bag. When he found that she only had aputer, but also a lot of cash in her bag, the security chief was even more skeptical.
He immediately went into the security room and asked Ning Xiaofei personally.
¡°Do you know who the owner of that vi is?¡±
"Mu Tianye."
"What¡¯s your rtionship with him?"
"We¡¯re married."
¡°Where did you get the cash in your bag?¡±
¡°It¡¯s from my husband.¡±
¡°How much?¡±
"Its..." Ning Xiaofei mmed up. When she received the money from Mu Tianye, she didn¡¯t bother to count. How would she know how much there is? "I don¡¯t know!"
The security chief snorted, ¡°You don¡¯t even know your money?¡±
Ning Xiaofei was telling nothing but the truth, but the other refused to listen. He¡¯s more convinced that it¡¯s stolen money.
Considering the seriousness of the matter, the security chief immediately ordered the security guards to keep a good eye on her, and he went outside to look up the registration information for the vi.
The names of the owners are confidential information. Of course, it¡¯s something he can readily check. The property registration form however indicated only one contact name ¨C Zhou Tao. With his phone number on the file, the security chief immediately dialed Zhou Tao¡¯s phone number.
¡°Hello, Mr. Zhou. Sorry to bother you sote, it¡¯s like this, we caught a thief outside your vi, there is aputer in her bag and a lot of cash. Wouldn¡¯t it be convenient for you toe here?¡±
Though there wasn¡¯t enough information, Zhou Tao promised to go there immediately, fearing that the situation was more serious than he thought.
M: Poor Zhou Tao, he¡¯s caught in the middle again....

Chapter 231
Lanting Apartments.
Mu Tianye raised his wrist tool look at the time for the nth time, the hour hand was already pointing to one in the morning.
The door remained closed without a single movement.
The long wait had worn away the anger, and there was more worry in his chest that made him fret.
Finally unable to sit still, he frowned and stood up, grabbing the phone and dialing her cell.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached.¡±
Frowning, Mu Tianye mmed the handset back on top of the handset and paced back and forth on the carpet for a few steps before walking over again and grabbing the phone, hesitating over whose number to dial.
He suddenly realized that he knew so little about her that he didn¡¯t even know if she had any friends and what their phone number was.
What was there to worry about, she had so much money on her, she could find a random hotel to stay the night.
The anxiety in his heart didn¡¯t diminish.
If she really had to stay in a hotel, there¡¯s no way her phone wouldn¡¯t work, she had so much cash on her person, just in case....
Then the phone rang.
With one arrow-step, Mu Tianye rushed over and grabbed the handset.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Mu, it¡¯s me."
Hearing Zhou Tao¡¯s voice, Mu Tianye¡¯s excitement instantly dropped back to the freezing point.
¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
Yayuan Vi was robbed. I¡¯m worried that something important is missing, why don¡¯t youe along and have a look?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll be right over.¡±
Mu Tianye hung up the phone heavily.
He usually lives in Yayuan vi, where many information and important documents are kept. The vi security has always been strict. This time, there was theft. Piling this up to his anxiety, his anger shot up another inch.
His mood was already down and to encounter such a thing, Mu Tianye¡¯s anger could be imagined.
Grabbing the car keys on the table, the man strode out of the apartment.
He¡¯d like to see who was so brazen as to dare steal from him!
His Mercedes-Benz flew all the way to the Yayuan vi. Because he was closer than Zhou Tao, MuTianYe instead arrived before him. He did not return to the vi, but went straight to the security office.
Hearing a car stop, the security chief immediately came to wee him.
¡°Are you Mr. Zhou Tao?¡±
¡°Where¡¯s the thief?¡±
"Inside."
Mu Tianye walked in with great strides and pushed the door to the inner room. There in the middle was a girl sitting on a small bench with dishevelled hair and soiled clothes, hugging her arms and shrinking, both feet were on high heels, one bare and stained with mud and dew, but the ck anklet on her ankles was glittering.
Hearing someonee in, Ning Xiaofei instinctively looked over sideways.
"Mr. Zhou, that¡¯s her!" The manager on duty smiled apologetically and came in with Ning Xiaofei¡¯s bag in his hand, offering it as if it was a treasure, "Look, this is what we found from her bag, 10,000 pieces of cash, and aputer ... Fortunately, we did a good job in security. When we found her, she was climbing up to the second floor. If we were one stepte, she would have run away!"
With four eyes opposite, Mu Tianye saw a familiar little face with her red and swollen nose at a nce.
¡°Xiao Fei?¡±
When Ning Xiaofei saw him, she was first surprised, then she coldly snorted and turned her small face to the side, leaving him with a back.
She knocked on the door and shouted at him to beg, her voice has gone dull, but he ignored her, watching her brought back as a thief and interrogated by several.....
What is he here for now?
The manager on duty, however, changed his face, ¡°You guys..........know each other?¡±
Just as his words fell, Mu Tianye grabbed him by the cor.
"How dare you beat her?"
Chapter 232
The ¡°Xiao Fei¡± from Mu Tianye just now has already shown that the two people know each other. The security and the manager are now only afraid that they have arrested the wrong person.
Meeting the man¡¯s gaze, the manager gulped nervously, ¡°You...don¡¯t get me wrong, we just brought her here and did nothing!¡±
¡°So what¡¯s with her face?¡±
¡°This...¡± The manager turned his face to the security guard who had followed him in, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
Several of the guards looked at each other, all with an innocent look on their faces.
¡°Not us.¡±
¡°That¡¯s how she looked when we brought her back.¡±
........
At this moment, however, Ning Xiaofei had already stood up.
¡°Can I go now?¡±
The manager immediately smiled, "Well... of course!"
With one foot bare and one foot on a heel, Ning Xiaofei did not look at Mu Tianye and walked out of the security office.
Mu Tianye shoved the manager away and chased after her, reaching out to try to grab her wrist.
"Don¡¯t you touch me!¡±
Ning Xiaofei pushed his arm out of the way and took a big step forward.
The security chief and a few guards then chased out with her bag and heel and delivered them to Mu Tianye¡¯s arms.
¡°Sir, this is Miss¡¯s bag.¡±
"And her shoe!"
.........
"I¡¯ll settle ounts with youter!"
Receiving Ning Xiaofei¡¯s belongings, Mu Tianye took great strides to chase after her.
¡°Stop!¡±
Ning Xiaofei not only didn¡¯t stand still, but also quickened her pace.
Looking at her bare foot stepping across the ground, Mu Tianye only gritted his teeth in anger and rushed over quickly, lifting his arm and lifting her up horizontally from the ground.
¡°Bastard, you let go of me, didn¡¯t you tell me to get lost! Why stop me now!...You refused to open the door, whye to me now?! Go away...let go of me...Mu Tianye, let go...¡±
Kicking and struggling, Mu Tianye didn¡¯t pay any attention to it and just carried her to the side of the car in stride, pulled the back seat door open and tucked her in.
"Keep your hands off! I don¡¯t want to see you....go away!¡±
As soon as his body rxed, Ning Xiaofei immediately got up from the seat and pulled open the car door on the other side trying to drill out.
Immediately, Mu Tianye pulled her back. The man got into the car, pressed her shoulder with one hand, lifted his leg and restrained her legs, pulled over the three seatbelts on the back seat and tied her up. Struggling to no avail, Ning Xiao Fei just cursed furiously.
¡°Bastard, this is kidnapping...I¡¯m calling the police...help...someone¡¯s killing...¡±
Mu Tianye ignored her and packed the mess that had fallen out of her bag on the ground into the car in one fell swoop, even throwing her shoe into the car together. He then sat in the driver¡¯s seat and started the car towards the direction of the vi.
¡°Mu Tianye, stop the car right now and let me go...or I...I¡¯ll sue you for illegal detention...do you hear me...you bastard, sadist...dead pervert.....¡±
The Mercedes pulled over in front of the vi, and the man sullenly pulled the door open, untied the seatbelts on her and pulled her out of the back seat.
Ning Xiaofei struggled to escape and had just taken one leg when he grabbed her arm.
"Let go of me!¡±
She turned around and waved her hand in defiance.
Pop!
With a crisp sound, her palm that swung out hit the man squarely on the right side of his face.
With a single blow, she pped him on the face. Ning Xiaofei was also stunned and stood scared in ce.
Mu Tianye raised his hand to touch the right side of his face and took a deep breath.
¡°Get in there!¡±
Ning Xiaofei took a step back in fear.
¡°I¡¯m not going!¡±
Going in would be a dead end. And with his character, being pped by her, she is definitely going to be killed?
Her resistance just fell when the man suddenly took a step forward and lifted her up horizontally once more. Ning Xiaofei was about to struggle when he heard the man¡¯s gloomy voice.
¡°One more move and I¡¯ll strip you!¡±
..........
Chapter 233
¡°You....don¡¯t you dare!¡±
Along with her retort, Ning Xiaofei¡¯s struggles also unconsciously retracted.
A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him.
This man is capable of anything, and she doesn¡¯t want to go running naked in the middle of the night.
Walking up the steps, Mu Tianye carried her all the way into the living room and put her on the sofa. The man then sat sideways on the tea table, frowning at her red, swollen nose.
¡°What¡¯s with your face?¡±
Ning Xiaofei grunted coldly and turned her face away.
¡°I¡¯m asking you!¡±
¡°Ning Xiaofei!¡±
........
At first, Ning Xiaofei just ignored him. Butter her anxiety, anger and grievances piled up in her heart, she turned her face violently and stared at him with a pair of red eyes.
¡°You want to know who did it, well, I¡¯ll tell you, it¡¯s you! The one who said he would never hit me again, Mu Tianye!¡±
He.... Hit her?
Mu Tianye wrinkled his nose.
And then he remembered the way she¡¯d crouched down on the steps and covered her nose earlier. So to speak, she¡¯d really been hurt then?
There must be something wrong. He just grazed her, but she¡¯s hurt so badly. Is she a slime?
Angry and chagrined, Mu Tianye stood up straight and reached out to touch her face. But before his palm touched her, his hand was pped away.
¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡±
The man¡¯s voice turned noticeably softer, ¡°I just wanted to see your injuries.¡±
Ning Xiaofei raised her hand to cover her face, ¡°No looking!¡±
Afraid of worsening her injury, Mu Tianye didn¡¯t dare to strike again, but only softened his voice, ¡°Did the injury hit the bones?¡±
"Leave me alone!"
The man frowned, but before he could say anything more, the doorbell rang.
Mu Tianye got up and walked towards the door, and Ning Xiaofei immediately seized the opportunity to jump off the sofa, grabbing her bag and shoes and rushed towards the door.
The man sighed in helplessness, but with long legs, he only took one stride, stepped over the coffee table and blocked her way.
With her escape impassable, Ning Xiaofei turned around and rushed towards the stairs.
Dang dang!
The door was knocked again.
Looking in the direction of the stairs, Mu Tianye went and opened the door.
Outside the door stood Zhou Tao.
After rushing to the security office, he finally got to know the truth of the matter, and also heard that Mu Tianye had ¡°arrested¡± Ning Xiaofei back to the vi. He was worried that this angry man would do something impulsive, and so quickly rushed to the apartment to check the situation.
Zhou Tao looked sideways into the living room behind him, ¡°Madam she...is she alright?¡±
Before Mu Tianye could answer, Ning Xiaofei¡¯s echoed from the balcony upstairs.
¡°Assistant Zhou, go to the police and report that there¡¯s a pervert illegally detaining a virtuous woman!¡±
Mu Tianye lifted her face to see that half of her body was hanging out of the balcony. He felt an instant burst of dizziness, then he turned around and rushed up the stairs.
¡°Chief Mu!¡± Zhou Tao sprinted after him, ¡°Calm down, don¡¯t be impulsive, figure out what¡¯s going on first!¡±
Ignoring Zhou Tao, Mu Tianye took great strides upstairs, grabbed the door handle of the guest room and twisted it. Without unscrewing it, it¡¯s obvious that Ning Xiaofei had already locked it.
¡°Open the door!¡±
¡°No way!¡±
The man took two steps back, lifted one foot, and kicked the door. The door of the guest room shifted, and with another kick, it mmed open.
Looking at Mu Tianye who rushed in, Ning Xiaofei paled in fright. She grabbed the railing with both hands, and flipped over the railing with one leg. She originally wanted to run away, but seeing that the bottom was too high, she had to stop.
¡°You...don¡¯te any closer or I¡¯ll...I¡¯ll jump from here!¡±
¡°Damn girl, get down here!¡±
The man roared sharply with an obvious shiver on his tone.
¡°Madam, you must not be impulsive.¡± Zhou Tao was also frightened and spoke up to persuade, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it. Do not be impulsive, it¡¯s too dangerous, in case you fall, you will be injured.¡±

Chapter 234
¡°Behave yourself and get down!¡± Mu Tianye¡¯s voice rang out once again, unlike the overbearing man in the past, at this moment, his face was clearly a bit pale and there was a tinge of nervousness and fear in his voice, ¡°As long as youe down, you can do whatever you want!¡±
¡°Yes, ma¡¯am, you shoulde down and say your piece here.¡±
Ning Xiaofei looked sideways outside the balcony. The vi¡¯s floors are high up, plus the steps, this height is also three or four meters at a nce, it is indeed also a bit scary.
¡°You guys back off!¡±
Mu Tianye and Zhou Tao hurriedly retreated a few steps back.
"More!"
The two of them retreated all the way to the door. Ning Xiaofei this time only retracted her leg that climbed over and stepped back on the floor of the balcony again. Still, she looked at Mu Tianye warily.
Seeing her safely back on the floor, the weight on Mu Tianye¡¯s heart fell down instantly. The light reflected the man¡¯s face with a thinyer of sweat evident on his full forehead.
¡°I didn¡¯t mean to hit you.¡±
¡°Huh!¡± Ning Xiaofei grunted coldly. Her movements were too fierce, she identally tore her wound. She sucked in cold breath in pain, and raised her hand to press her nose, ¡°You didn¡¯t hit me on purpose, didn¡¯t break my nose?¡±
Because of the difort of her nose, Ning Xiaofei¡¯s nasal voice appeared heavy when she spoke, it sounded like a snivel.
Looking at her, Mu Tianye¡¯s heart ached in distress, so he softly asked again, ¡°Is the bone okay?¡±
With the cold wind blowing, she sneezed and pain followed her sore nose.
¡°Come inside, the balcony is cold.¡±
"You¡¯re concerned that I¡¯m cold now?" He shouldn¡¯t have mentioned it because it triggered Ning Xiaofei¡¯s fury again, "Why didn¡¯t youe out when I was shouting and begging you downstairs hours ago, I was freezing and could have frozen to death! Forget it, no one cares anyway!"
Begging him downstairs?
Mu Tianye grasped the point and frowned.
"Were you downstairs?"
"Don¡¯t pretend! I was shouting so loudly my voice had gone hoarse from begging you. Even the security guards were disturbed, you dare say that you didn¡¯t hear me?!"
¡°I wasn¡¯t there, I just got back from the apartment.¡±
¡°Liar, the lights were on and I came back to the apartment. Why didn¡¯t I see you?¡±
¡°That¡¯s because I was in such a hurry that I forgot to turn off the lights. And since you were downstairs, you should have noticed that the car was not outside just now.¡±
Ning Xiaofei looked sideways downstairs and her eyes fell on the Mercedes-Benz. It seems that the car was not there.
What, could she have wronged him?
¡°Madam, just now, Chief Mu was indeed in the apartment. I called thendline over here and he was back.¡± Zhou Tao also helped exin, ¡°Madam, if you don¡¯t believe me, you can check my call log.¡±
"Your nostrils are venting your anger, what are you doing back here in the apartment?"
Mu Tianye hesitated.
¡°I....¡±
"You can¡¯t say anything, right, because you care nothing about me."
"I really came back here!"
¡°Then why did youe back, you say!¡±
"Because I..."
¡°Because what, why don¡¯t you say it, because you¡¯re lying! Saying what¡¯s not, saying never to hit me again, saying you¡¯ll forgive me if I tell the truth, and saying never to leave me alone again...all lies! You...you¡¯re just like all men, all liars, big liars!¡±
Ning Xiaofei roared thest few words in a hoarse voice and a distinct cry in her tone.

Chapter 235
Ning Xiaofei roared her usation with almost all her strength, leaning against the balcony railing, gasping sharply at the rails while her whole body trembled and her chest heaved.
Her pair of eyes as red as a rabbit, but stiffly gritting her teeth and not crying, gasped for breath as she reached down and grabbed the heels and bag on the floor.
¡°Do you want me to jump, or you¡¯ll let me leave?¡±
"Where would you go?"
Mu Tianye asked gently.
¡°I....¡±
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s clenched her teeth, her eyes brimming with tears.
Yeah, where would she go?
The Ning house doesn¡¯t wee her, and now that he doesn¡¯t wee her either, where could she go?
As she mmed her high heels to the ground, Ning Xiaofei yelled in a hoarse voice.
"Are you going to let me go?"
Mu Tianye took a deep breath and gave way to the door. Ning Xiaofei immediately grabbed her bag and trotted past, walked out the door of the guest room quickly, and stomped down the stairs.
¡°Mu.......¡±
Zhou Tao turned his face, just about to inquire, but the man had already moved ahead and quickly chased after her.
As he passed by the hall, he pulled off a coat and grabbed another pair of shoes from the shoe rack.
By the time Zhou Tao chased down, Mu Tianye had already caught up with Ning Xiaofei in quick steps and bent down to ce the shoes at her feet.
¡°Put it on.¡±
She ignored him, bypassing him to leave. But with a stroke of the man¡¯s hand, he stopped her.
"Don¡¯t think about leaving without them!"
With a nce at him, Ning Xiaofei reached out and stepped on the shoes, grabbed the coat and draped it over her body, stepping on the shoes in stride.
Mu Tianye didn¡¯t speak either, just silently followed behind her.
At first, Ning Xiaofei walked quickly to ignore him, but the sound of the man¡¯s footsteps was always behind her, and her anger finally simmered down.
¡°What are you following me for?¡±
¡°I said let you go, I never said anything about not following you.¡±
¡°You!¡±
Ning Xiaofei gritted her teeth, turned around and continued forward, with therge slippers on her feet trancing on the ground as she walked out of the neighborhood. Standing at the gates and waiting for a long time, there were no signs of a taxi. She peeked at Mu Tianye who was standing beside her, and was riled again. So, she turned around and continued forward.
¡°Where are you going, I¡¯ll drive you.¡±
¡°No!¡±
"You won¡¯t be able to g down a taxi at this hour."
¡°I have legs!¡±
After walking forward a few dozen meters, there was still no sight of an empty cab. Ning Xiaofei stopped on her tracks, turned to face Mu Tianye who was still following behind her, and red up once more.
¡°Are you sick?¡±
"I¡¯m sick!"
Otherwise, why else would he be so attached to such a dead girl.
Mu Tian Ye lifted his face and narrowed his eyes at the thin but stubborn figure that was almost barefooted and strutting forward on the road. He gritted his teeth and finally spoke.
¡°You want to know what I went to the apartment to do? Fine! Let me tell you!" Mu Tianye furrowed his eyebrows and bellowed out the truth that was suppressed in his heart, ¡°That¡¯s because Miss Liu called and said you hadn¡¯t been home and your cell phone was unreachable. I was worried that you won¡¯t have a ce to go, that something would happen to you, so I went to the apartment to wait for you.... I couldn¡¯t get through your phone and don¡¯t know if you have any friends to bunk down for the night. I didn¡¯t know where to look for you in case there¡¯s an ident, and I was afraid you won¡¯t be able toe home without your keys....I¡¯ve been fidgeting and waiting for you for over three hours, are you satisfied?¡±

Ning Xiaofei turned around and stared at him from a distance of more than a dozen meters.
¡°What are you yelling for? You¡¯re aggrieved? Are you angry? What about me? I¡¯ve gotten into scandal for no reason, called you and you didn¡¯t answer, ran to exin to you but you broke my nose, chased you down and couldn¡¯t find you, climbed a building and was treated like a thief by the security guard...I...¡±
Halfway through the yell, she suddenly frowned and crouched down covering her side.
¡°Xiao Fei!¡± Mu Tianye approached her in strides and crouched down to hold her arm, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
"You... go away..." Ning Xiaofei raised her hand and tried to push him, but as soon as she exerted force, her side ribs throbbed with pain. She immediately shrank back into a ball, "You...stay away from me, it¡¯s all....it¡¯s all your fault! Sizz¨C¡°
Mu Tianye reached out and wrapped his arms around her back, then his hand reached over to hold her palm, ¡°I¡¯ll take you to the hospital right away.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± She frowned helplessly, ¡°I...I¡¯m just angry.¡±
She hadn¡¯t eaten anything since morning, was hungry and cold, and had yelled too hard just now. Now, it had identally misfired.
Mu Tian Ye had the urge to cry andugh, but did not dare to move her again. He only supported her waist with one hand, and reached over with one hand, covering her pressed side ribs and caressing them carefully.
The man then turned his face to Zhou Tao, who had stopped and run over, and ordered, ¡°Give me some warm water!¡±
Zhou Tao quickly ran back to the car, grabbed a thermos and brought it over. Mu Tianye held the cup to her mouth. Ning Xiaofei immediately held the cup, drank a few sips of warm water and her painful side ribs was only slightly relieved.
¡°Better?¡±
¡°It still hurts.¡±
¡°Who told you to wear so little?¡±
¡°You¡¯re the one who said I¡¯m not allowed to wear jeans...ah...it hurts....¡±
She was just about to yell at him, but her side ribs jerked again and she scrambled to retract.
"It hurts but you still yell!¡±
The man was angry and distressed, but also couldn¡¯t care that the ground was dirty. He just sat down on the ground to gather her into his arms, while Zhou Tao bent on the ground to pick up a coat, and drape it over Ning Xiaofei.
Leaning on his chest for a while, Ning Xiaofei¡¯s frustrated side ribs gradually eased in pain. The man sighed softly seeing her face improve, and carefully helped her up.
¡°How about a visit to the hospital.¡±
¡°No need.¡±
Ning Xiaofei stood up from her slippers and noticed the 24-hour convenience store across the road.
Mu Tianye hugged her as soon as she moved, "What are you doing again?¡±
Ning Xiaofei turned her face fiercely, ¡°I¡¯m hungry, can¡¯t I buy something to eat?¡±
Mu Tianye nced sideways, which brought his attention to the convenience store across the street.
Zhou Tao asked right away, ¡°What does Madame want to eat, I¡¯ll go buy it.¡±
¡°Instant noodles.¡±
¡°Garbage has no nutrition.¡±
¡°I just want it!¡±
She was cold and hungry, and at the moment, all she wanted was a bowl of hot instant noodles.
The man frowned, finallypromising.
¡°Fine, eat!¡±
Zhou Tao smirked secretly, ¡°Then...the two of you get in the car and wait, I¡¯ll go buy!¡±
Ning Xiaofei reminded him, ¡°Remember to buy me an extra ham sausage, and mustard!¡±
With a promise, Zhou Tao trotted across the road, and Mu Tianye furrowed his brow ¨C in his opinion, this was all junk food.
Noticing his expression, Ning Xiaofei snorted, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, we poor people just love to eat this, can¡¯t we?¡±
Mu Tianye was again speechless and lifted his hand to help her fix her coat, ¡°It¡¯s okay, get in the car and eat!¡±
Ning Xiaofei shrank into the back seat of the car, and the girl looked at the convenience store opposite.
Mu Tianye sighed inwardly and reached out to pull her onto hisp, then his big hand reached over and closed around her dirty little feet.

Ning Xiaofei subconsciously tried to retract her foot, but the man¡¯s fingers tightened slightly.
¡°Don¡¯t move.¡±
Little hoof is an ice cube, and yet he¡¯s pulling her dirty foot that has stomped all the way, will he touch herter?
Ning Xiaofei then pursed her lips and snuggled tighter into his arms, it wasn¡¯t her hands that were dirty anyway, let herself warm up first.
A momentter, Zhou Tao came back holding the instant noodles with hot water, carrying all kinds of food that can be bought in the convenience store. Ning Xiaofei was so embarrassed to let him see herself and Mu Tianye so intimate, so she immediately got up and fled to the other side of the back seat, pulling off the central pallet of the back seat.
Zhou Tao carefully sent the soaked noodles over, and Ning Xiaofei sniffed, carefully moved over and took a sip of the soup. Immediately, her eyes shut in satisfaction.
¡°Ah! It¡¯s truly earth-shattering.¡±
Looking at her enjoying herself, Mu Tianye pulled open the car door and stepped out.
Ning Xiaofei did not care. She just buried her head and continued to eat noodles. Halfway through the meal, she raised her head at Mu Tianye, who was still standing outside the door and did not return. She could not help but frown a bit.
¡°Chief Mu.... he doesn¡¯t like the smell very much.¡±
In the front seat, Zhou Tao exined softly.
Rich people are just in pretentious!
Ning Xiaofei felt guilty in her stomach, and in the end, still sped up to finish the bowl of noodles. Zhou Tao went down to throw away the box, then walked to Mu Tianye to inform him. Only then did the man get back into the car and sat in the back seat.
Smelling the scent of instant noodles in the car, his eyebrows furrowed again. And just as Zhou Tao was about to start the car, the man suddenly pushed open the car door and rushed out of the car, rushing to the bushes with huge strides and vomiting uncontrobly.
Ning Xiaofei was rmed. She hurriedly grabbed the paper towel, tightened her coat and jumped out of the car. Zhou Tao also ran over and handed over an open bottle of mineral water.
Snatching the tissue from her hand, the man gave a low growl, turned and proceeded to spit.
¡°Get in the car!¡±
¡°You...what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Ning Xiaofei asked with concern.
Raising a hand to wipe his face, Mu Tianye turned around and red at him, ¡°I told you to get in the car, didn¡¯t you hear?¡±
"I¡¯m not going..."
¡°Wa.......¡±
The man turned his face to yell at her again, but just as he opened his mouth, his stomach heaved again, and Ning Xiaofei was hurriedly patted his shoulder.
Mu Tianye suddenly straightened up, grabbed her arm, dragged her to the side of the car and tucked her in.
¡°Don¡¯t you daree down again, and look at me....¡±
Halfway through the yell, the man turned sharply again and rushed to the bushes.
Knowing that he didn¡¯t want her to freeze, Ning Xiaofei stayed in the car honestly, but just stared at the man¡¯s back through the window.
Mu Tianye had reminded her before that no smell of instant noodles was allowed in the house. She only thought he was pretentious and nosy and brushed it off. Just now when she was eating, he immediately got out of the car, could it be that he was allergic to instant noodles?
But she has never heard of such an allergy.
After a while, Mu Tianye straightened up again, took the water in Zhou Tao¡¯s hand and rinsed his mouth. Then he turned his face to look at Ning Xiaofei in the car.
¡°Take her back first, I¡¯ll walk back.¡±
¡°Can you do it?¡±
"Yes, sir."
¡°Then I¡¯ll send the madam back and change carster to pick you up.¡±
Zhou Tao hurried back to the car to start it. Ning Xiaofei opened her mouth suspiciously, ¡°Tianye hasn¡¯t gotten in yet!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll take you back first. I¡¯ll go change the car to pick him upter.¡±
¡°He....¡± Ning Xiaofei sniffed, ¡°He¡¯s allergic to instant noodles, huh?¡±
Zhou Taoughed a little helplessly, "I¡¯m not sure about this either, I just know that he can¡¯t stand the smell. In the future, when you want to eat, it¡¯s best not to eat in front of him.¡±

Ning Xiaofei turned sideways and looked at Mu Tianye, who was fading away by the roadside, and her lips pursed slightly.
¡°Take me back to the vi, it¡¯s closer.¡±
No wonderst time, when she spilled a box of instant noodles, he overreacted.
That guy...she certainly wouldn¡¯t have insisted on it if she had been told of his condition.
Soon, the car drove back to the vi. Zhou Tao changed the car and went back to pick up Mu Tianye. Ning Xiaofei frowned and sniffed as he drove the car away.
It¡¯s just the smell of instant noodles. Why is that guy so sensitive?
However.....
She raised her hand and sniffed her palm, cupped her clothes and sniffed again, not smelling anything, but still felt a little uneasy.
She turned and ran upstairs, quickly rushing into the wardrobe and gathered a set of clothes out, then went to the guest room to change.
She ran down the stairs again and saw that Zhou Tao had sent Mu Tianye through the door, the man¡¯s face was somewhat pale.
Ning Xiaofei stepped down the stairs and suddenly thought of something, hurriedly stopped, turned around and ran upstairs again.
Zhou Tao went to the kitchen and poured a cup of warm water and gave it to Mu Tianye, ¡°Are you really okay?¡±
"I¡¯m fine." Mu Tianye gently shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s toote, you go back and rest!¡±
¡°As for the room upstairs, I¡¯ll arrange for someone toe over tomorrow for repairs. Then, I¡¯ll head home now.¡±
The man nodded gently.
Zhou Tao excused himself and left. Mu Tianye took two sips of hot water, put down the cup and went upstairs, just to see Ning Xiaofei carrying arge paper bag from the master bedroom. When she saw him, she immediately took two steps back.
¡°I¡¯ll sleep in the guest room.......¡±
Halfway through saying that, she quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth ¨C she only changed her clothes and forgot to brush her teeth.
Without waiting for him to react, she trotted into the guest room. Mu Tianye raised an eyebrow and followed her with a big stride.
¡°Don¡¯t youe any closer!¡±
Mu Tianye frowned.
The exnation has been made and she was also allowed to eat instant noodles....Now, does she want to separate with him too?
The man wanted to question how long she was going to make a fuss. But when his gaze fell on the bridge of her red swollen nose, his temper melted into helplessness. He merely raised a brow, and turned to leave.
After Ning Xiaofei finished brushing her teeth and came out, she saw the man walking in with a set of pajamas. And when he saw her, he casually threw the pajamas on the bed.
¡°You take the master bedroom and I¡¯ll take the guest room.¡±
The room was cleaned up, and even the door was fixed. She loved to get up at night and as a klutz, she¡¯d likely break her nose again.
Ning Xiaofei stiffened.
She thought he had already forgiven her.
Her eyes swept over the man¡¯s pale face, and she pursed her lips as she lifted the bag containing her dirty clothes and walked back to the master bedroom.
Ha!
Scored it!
It¡¯s morefortable to sleep alone!
After taking a shower, changing into her pajamas and lying on the big bed, Ning Xiaofei closed her eyes but couldn¡¯t sleep.
Turning to look at the empty pillow of the man next to her, she sat up and looked at the room door. She gritted her teeth andy back down on the pillow.
However, she only tossed and turned without catching sleep. In the end, she couldn¡¯t help but stand up. That guy has thrown up so much. Would he be okay?
The girl walked to the guest room door with her slippers, pulled it open noiselessly, and heard the man¡¯s voice still ringing outside.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

Through the broken door frame, the man¡¯s handsome face was a little pale and tired, but his pair of eyes were full of concern.
Ning Xiaofei suddenly felt distressed.
Forget it, for the sake of instant noodles, she¡¯ll concede defeat.
Gritting her small teeth, she opened her mouth pitifully, ¡°I¡¯m a little cold, can I....sleep with you?¡±
The body conspired with her, because as soon as the question came out, she let out a big sneeze.
¡°Go back to bed!¡± The man ordered with a frown.
She has already volunteered topromise, but he was still ungrateful.
Ha!
In a huff, she didn¡¯t close the door either, Ning Xiaofei retreated to the bed andy back on her pillow, and the lights across the room dimmed.
Mu Tianye, you bastard, I¡¯ll never talk to you again!
She clutched at the pillow in theforter, but heard footstepsing already close. She curled in the bed and let the soft edge of the nket cover her entire face.
The quilt was then uncovered and the bed sank in. The many behind her, hisrge hands stretching out from her back, encircling her waist.
"Still cold?¡± His voice rasped huskily.
Ning Xiaofei turned her face in the darkness, ¡°Didn¡¯t you just ignore me, why did youe back?¡±
"Weren¡¯t you the one who wanted to sleep separately?¡± The man¡¯s grievance was tinged with thin anger.
¡°When did I say anything about separation?¡±
¡°In the guest room.¡±
¡°You said you¡¯d take the guest room and I¡¯d take the master bedroom.....¡±
Halfway through saying that, she suddenly crawled up.
¡°What are you doing again?¡±
Mu Tianye followed suit in annoyance and turned on the bedsidemp, only to see her lifting arge paper bag on the side of the door and walking out of the room.
¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of getting sick again?¡± Ning Xiaofei threw the paper bag into the corridor and immediately shrank down and ran over, burrowing into the quilt, wriggling to his body and nestling back again, ¡°I don¡¯t smell like instant noodles, do I?¡±
Mu Tianye was stunned and suddenly realized.
Just now, she was afraid of affecting him, so she took the dirty clothes away and kept him away while brushing her teeth.....
Hearing no answer from him, Ning Xiaofei raised her hand and cupped her hair for a sniff.
¡°How about...I go take another shower?¡±
The man didn¡¯t speak, just stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Xiao Fei ...¡± His big hand wrapped around her shoulders as the man spoke low. ¡°I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I really didn¡¯t mean to hit you.¡±
¡°I know.¡± Ning Xiaofei reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, "I really didn¡¯t mean to lie to you either, it¡¯s just that...you...you didn¡¯t give me a chance yesterday...Xicheng and I really just ate and talked, nothing else, it was all scribbled by reporters. You have to believe me!¡±
¡°I believe you.¡±
¡°Really?¡±
¡°Really.¡±
¡°Heh heh.¡± She then happily wrapped her arms tighter around his neck, ¡°My husband is the best.¡±
"Yes woman!"
Ning Xiaofei was ridiculed, but her hands tightened even more.
Ning Xiaofei also took the initiative to burrow deeper, and as a result, she identally bumped her nose, which immediately caused an oozing pain.
¡°Stupid!¡± With a low curse, the man turned on the light again, ¡°Don¡¯t go to sleep, let¡¯s go to the hospital.¡±
¡°No, I¡¯ve been there, the doctor said it was just some ruptured blood vessel bruise or something...the bones are fine, just two days¡¯ rest.¡±
¡°Really?¡±
"I¡¯m a dog to fool you."
Mu Tianye examined her nose with the light on and frowned. He then turned the light off and hugged her from behind. "In the future, I will try to control myself.¡±
She then giggled, ¡°Next time you lose your temper, I¡¯ll just have to hide away.¡±
¡°No way.¡± The man¡¯s tone was domineering, ¡°No matter what happens in the future, you¡¯re not allowed to leave!¡±

¡°On what grounds!¡± Ning Xiaofei instinctively retorted.
There was no taking it back, and the man already bit on her earlobe, whispering vaguely, ¡°When I say no, I mean no!¡±
His bite was light, yet it sent shivers through her heart, and her whole person fell into a pool of softness.
Ning Xiaofei craned her neck, ¡°I...I have to work tomorrow morning.¡±
It was already thetter half of the night, and if they don¡¯t sleep, the sky would soon be bright.
The man reached over to turn on themp and looked at her worriedly, ¡°Another slip of the tongue?¡±
¡°Oh no, the n, I haven¡¯t written it yet!¡±
With that, she lifted the covers and prepared to get out of bed.
As soon as she moved out of the bed, he was pulled back by Mu Tianye.
"What are you going to write, sleep!"
It¡¯s already 2:00 a.m. Will she be able to sleep if she keeps writing?
¡°No, it¡¯s for the meeting tomorrow.¡± Ning Xiaofei struggled to sit up from his arms, ¡°Sleep on your own. I¡¯ll sort out the outline I prepared earlier, it will be ready soon.¡±
¡°Wait!¡± Getting up and wrapping the nket around her, Mu Tianye got up and got out of bed. He walked to the door and turned his face to her again, ¡°Sit there and don¡¯t move or you won¡¯t be able to make the shift tomorrow.¡±
With that said, the man strutted down the stairs.
A momentter, he came carrying her backpack in his hand. He then stuffed it onto Ning Xiaofei¡¯s hand.
¡°You let me work in bed?¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you cold?¡±
¡°But...I¡¯ll disturb your rest?¡±
¡°I can¡¯t sleep without you anyway.¡±
The man reached over and grabbed a pillow and put it upright behind her back. He reached to pull the covers up and wrap them under her armpits, which was before he took theputer out of her bag and opened it to ce it on herp.
Seeing that her phone was dead, he rummaged through her bag and found no charger. He mumbled a curse and left in stride. A momentter pulled a power cable back and helped her plug in the power.
Raising his face to see Ning Xiaofei looking at him dumbfounded, the man gently raised his eyebrows.
"What are you looking at, work!"
¡°I haven¡¯t seen a handsome guy before, can¡¯t I look closely?¡±
Ning Xiaofeiughed and flirted, then she grabbed her own bag and flipped through it to find the gift box. When she saw the corner of the gift box ttened, she carefully sorted it out before it was delivered to him.
¡°This is for you.¡±
¡°What is it?¡±
¡°A gift.¡± With both hands, she sent the small gift box to Mu Tianye. Ning Xiaofei opened her mouth squarely, ¡°This time, I didn¡¯t lie to you, I really had prepared a gift for you.¡±
Turns out, she really bought him a gift.
Reaching out to take the small gift box from her hand, which had already fallen a bit crumpled, Mu Tianye slowly untied the silk ribbon on it. Ning Xiao Fei then nervously clenched her fingers, fearing that he would be disappointed when he saw the gift.
Unpacking the box and seeing the pair of socks with the sale price tag on the box inside, Mu Tianye¡¯s fingers gently stroked the box. When he looked up, he saw her nervously twiddling her thumbs and peeking at him.
Noticing the crumpled receipt that fell out of the quilt, Ning Xiaofei hurriedly reached over the palm of her hand and quietly pinched the ticket into her hand. She was just about to hide it but was seen by Mu Tianye¡¯s sharp eyes and snatched it into his hand.
Swiping at the payment record above, the man¡¯s long brow furrowed.
The small receipt stated clearly that the socks were 134 yuan, but the bill was paid twice, once in cash for 100 yuan and once with a credit card for 34 yuan.
Who would pay a bill like that?
The only exnation is that she didn¡¯t have enough money in her card and not enough cash to scrape together the money to pay like that.

¡°You...you mustn¡¯t be too cheap, or else...I¡¯ll never give you gifts again, a hundred pairs of socks will be enough for me to eat as many instant noodles!¡±
Ning Xiaofei blushed red, covering her guilty conscience with arrogance and ridicule.
Someone like him had probably never received such a worthless gift before, right?
Reaching over one palm and holding her restless fingers, Mu Tianye raised her face and ced a soft kiss on her forehead, before his arm reached over and lightly embraced her shoulder.
"Thank you for the gift, I love it.¡±
He couldn¡¯t remember how many gifts he had received, from all sorts of precious things, to worth a fortune...but none as precious as this one.
Because he knew that, for this gift, she had poured out everything.
¡°Focus on your work, I¡¯ll go make you a cup of coffee.¡±
Mu Tianye got up and walked out of the master bedroom, not going straight downstairs, but turning around and walking into the study.
He pulled open a drawer and found a watch box. He tossed the watch inside and then carefully smoothed out the crumpled receipt and folded it neatly, and put it in the box along with the socks that still carried the discountbel. The size of the box is just right, so the man is satisfied with raising his lips.
Opening a safe, he ced the box together with those important bills, locked the safe, and then went downstairs.
On the table, a famous watch was carelessly thrown in a corner of the desk.
Going to the kitchen to find the coffee beans she¡¯d left behind, he poured it into the coffee maker to brew, then reached for some fruit and snacks Zhou Tao had bought from the supermarket before.
The snacks were put on a tray, the fruit washed were washed, peeled and cut into bite pieces...and were served upstairs, along with the brewed coffee. He ced them within her reach, before he reclined back to sit beside her, his gaze tilted to her screen.
¡°One word is missing here.¡±
¡°Are you a pig, and here we¡¯re going to use ¡®of¡¯, not ¡®ground¡¯.¡±
¡°This poem is used incorrectly.¡±
......
Instantly, the venomous tongue mode turned on again.
Ning Xiaofei frowned in exasperation, ¡°Can you be quiet, I...I haven¡¯t proofread yet, this is just an outline up.¡±
The man closed his mouth and made no more sound, reached over the tray and forked a piece of watermelon to her mouth.
¡°Don¡¯t mind me, go to sleep first.¡±
¡°Work.¡±
¡°I really don¡¯t need you.......¡±
With a lift of his hand, he directly shoved a strawberry at her, gagging Ning Xiaofei¡¯s mouth.
¡°Work!¡±
What a pain in the ass, he¡¯s not happy to apany her to work, she wouldn¡¯t be even bothered to keep himpany if he wants her to!
Ning Xiaofei could only withdraw her gaze and continue working. Soon, she was fully absorbed in her work once more.
Mu Tianye just leaned back on the headboard and watched her side profile focused on her job.
Watching her frown from time to time, he frowned along.
Watching her raise her lips and crackle as she typed as if she had straighten out her thoughts, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.......
It wasn¡¯t until after four in the morning that Ning Xiaofei finished her n with a yawn. She raised her hand and stretched out a sore waist, and then muttered to herself.
¡°Check for typos and go to bed, print it tomorrow at the office.¡±
At the same moment, the man reached out his hand and sent the tray over. Ning Xiaofei subconsciously reached out and took it, then she turned her face in disbelief.
¡°Did I wake you up?¡±
Mu Tianye ignored her and just reached for theputer on herp.
¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°Check for you.¡±
With that, the man clicked the mouse over to the beginning of the document and then ced his hands up to the keyboard.
Ning Xiaofei wriggled closer uneasily, only to see the mouse move quickly on the screen. He tapped and beat from time to time, sometimes to correct a typo, sometimes to change a punctuation, even the wrong use of nd of the¡± was corrected one by one.

Chapter 242 - Yes, My Lord!
That¡¯s too fast for a check, right?
Ning Xiaofei was amazed, ¡°You...how did you do that?¡±
¡°Because I already read it when you were sorting it out.¡± The man said in an understatement.
Ning Xiaofei was still a bit uneasy at first. After all, it was the result of working two or three hours of overtime. But after following his editing for a while, she realized that her worries werepletely superfluous, a mistake that even she didn¡¯t see, he didn¡¯t miss.
¡°Husband, you¡¯re so handsome!¡±
She leaned against his shoulder and watched his neat work with pleasure, watching as the words on the screen became blurred....
Looking on his side, the man saw Ning Xiaofei slumbering on this shoulder. The man cried andughed as he took the tray in her hand and carefully tucked her back under the covers, before turning his attention back to the screen.
He revised everything and carefully proofread it again to make sure there were no errors. Mu Tianye then noiselessly got up and went to the study to help her print out the document, bind it, and even make a PPT presentation for her just in case.......
Turning his face to look at the morning light outside the window, Mu Tianye nced sideways and swept the clock on the wall. The time showed that it was already after six in the morning.
Returning to the master bedroom and helping Ning Xiaofei pull the quilt, Mu Tianye picked up his phone on the nightstand and returned to the study. He immediately called the driver to inform him toe and pick him up at the vi.
¡°Buy a new phone for a girl ande over. Also, bring two take-out breakfasts.¡±
That way, she can eat on the way and the time saved can be spent sleeping.
At 7:15, the driver arrived at the vi on time.
At 7:35, Mu Tianye woke Ning Xiaofei up. She was still in a daze when he had already helped her put her clothes on.
At 7:40, Ning Xiaofei walked into the bathroom in a dream, closed her eyes, took her toothbrush and squeezed toothpaste to brush her teeth, wash, go to the toilet.......
At 7:55, she yawned and sat in the back seat of the car as a hot breakfast was delivered to her.
¡°Sleep more after you eat. I¡¯ll wake you up when you get to the office.¡± Mu Tianye picked a cup with milk, and ordered the driver, ¡°Drive.¡±
At 8:52, the car pulled into the television station and stopped in front of the steps. Mu Tianye gently shook her arm to wake Ning Xiaofei.
Ning Xiaofei straightened up from his shoulder with a yawn, and Mu Tianye sent her bag over and took the tidy print out again.
¡°There are two copies, the PPT [slide presentation] I made for you too is in the directory where you keep your project.¡±
Ning Xiaofei stared at him in surprise, ¡°No way, you did all the PPT?¡±
¡°You have too few pictures so I just made it briefly. Andter on, look at it more closely and modify it yourself.¡± The man reached out to help her fix her clothes, ¡°There¡¯s five minutes to nine, you don¡¯t need to rush. I gave you a new cell phone. Call me if you need to go out or call me from work. I¡¯ll send someone to pick you up. Don¡¯t leave the TV station by yourself, so that the reporters won¡¯t bother you. Focus on your work, and I¡¯ll work something out about the scandal.¡±
¡°Yes, my lord!¡±
Ning Xiaofei hugged her bag and the printed manuscript, pushed open the car door and got out, ran up the steps and turned her face again, waving at him.
Mu Tianye jerked his chin at her from inside the car window, as she turned and ran into the door.
She took the elevator to the floor where the column group is located and happened to see two column group colleagues in front of her. She quickened her footsteps to follow them and was about to say hello, when she heard the two discussing her.
¡°With Ning Xiaofei around, what¡¯s the point of you writing a n well?¡± The female colleague grunted lightly, ¡°I say, how can Ji Mo support a young neer with no name. It turned out that he is Mu Tianye¡¯s woman. She is the show team¡¯s god of wealth, would Ji Mo dare not support her? Just watch, maybe one day, even the host will be hers!¡±

Chapter 243
¡°Yeah.¡± The male colleague shook his head and sighed, ¡°I used to think that Director Ji was different from the others, now it seems that he¡¯s just that.¡±
¡°In this day and age, scraping for our dads and mums for money and connections¡.We, who have no money and no one, can only be a little transparent for the rest of our lives!¡±
Overhearing their conversation behind, Ning Xiaofei faltered in her steps.
¡°Xiao Fei.¡±
It just so happened that Zhang Yue drilled out from the elevator and saw her, immediately calling her in a chase.
The two colleagues in front of her turned around and saw Ning Xiaofei standing not far away, and immediately nched.
With a nce at each other, the two quickly turned around and trotted to Ning Xiaofei.
The female colleague grabbed her arm nervously, ¡°Xiao Fei, don¡¯t get me wrong, it¡¯s not you we were talking about.¡±
¡°Yeah,¡± The male colleague added bitterly, ¡°Xiao Fei, we didn¡¯t mean anything else, in fact we all know that you¡you rely on talent¡.¡±
Once they changed their faces, they began to pat her ass.
This is no wonder. How Mu Tiany treated Pei Ruoxi before, everyone in the group was a witness. They were just chewing their tongues behind her back, but now they were caught red-handed. They¡¯re already scared and pale, and wished they could kneel down to beg her forgiveness.
Ning Xiaofei was full of grievances but couldn¡¯t blow her top. So, she gently withdrew her arm from her female colleague¡¯s hand.
¡°Don¡¯t you think much, I didn¡¯t hear anything.¡±
She wanted to put things to rest, but it was mistaken for anger.
¡°Xiao Fei!¡± The female colleague was about to burst into tears and raised her hand to p her own face, ¡°I¡I deserve to die! You ¡ you have a lot, don¡¯t bother with me, will you? I have a new house to buy, and I have to pay more than six thousand monthly bills. If you drive me away, I¡I¡¯ll just have to jump off the roof and kill myself!¡±
¡°Yeah, Xiao Fei.¡± The male colleague on the side is also pale as paper, ¡°You ¡ please spare us!¡±
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s mood was getting worse, ¡°Rest assured, I won¡¯t do anything to you.¡±
¡°Thanks!¡±
¡°Thank you!¡±
The two men immediately thanked her in quick session and scurried quickly into the office.
Looking at the back of the two, Ning Xiaofei was unsettled at heart. Zhang Yue then patted her on the shoulder, ¡°Don¡¯t be bothered. They are that kind of people, just ignore them. How¡¯s your n writing going?¡±
Ning Xiaofei smiled gratefully at him, then handed over the printed n, ¡°I worked overtime yesterday to write it, it not well sorted, take a look andment.¡±
Zhang Yue took it over and looked at it seriously, and when he saw the end, he just turned his face excitedly, ¡°Wow, Xiao Fei, where do you get so many ideas?¡±
Ning Xiaofei smiled in embarrassment, ¡°It¡¯s really not too bad?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not bad, it¡¯s too impressive!¡± Zhang Yue handed her the draft of the n, ¡°Fortunately, I was in theter stage, I don¡¯t have topete with you, otherwise ¡ the pressure is on!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not that good, give me the cup and I¡¯ll get you some water.¡±
Zhang Yue then nonchntly handed it over, ¡°Thanks.¡±
She took two cups to fetch water. There were originally two colleagues in the tea room, and when they saw her, the one who was filling water immediately took the initiative to step aside and remove the cup that was half-filled.
¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m in no hurry.¡± Ning Xiaofeiughed.
¡°We¡¯re done.¡± The pair grinned at her, carried half a ss of water, and left quickly together.
They gave the impression as if she had contracted the gue and was afraid they would be infected with just a nce.
Chapter 244
Returning with two cups of water, Ning Xiaofei¡¯s mood had long sank and turned gloomy long ago.
At the same moment, Ji Mo walked out of the office, saw her and immediately opened his mouth.
¡°Xiao Fei, where¡¯s your n?¡±
Ning Xiaofei hurriedly down her cup and handed over the printed n, then she sat back in her chair as Ji Mo retreated to his office.
¡°Xiao Fei,e and taste this.¡± A colleague sitting diagonally across from her smiled and handed her a box of snacks, ¡°I made this myself!¡±
¡°Thanks.¡± She whispered gratefully. The colleague then looked around and leaned to her side, ¡°Can I ask for a favor, talk to Director Ji so he can transfer me to thete stage team, this n is something I really can¡¯t write, do you know?¡±
¡°This¡How could anything I say be counted?¡±
¡°Mr. Mu is the God of Wealth of our column group, Director Ji and the producer would certainly give you face, isn¡¯t this just a matter of words?¡±
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s heart sank in an instant while holding the snack box in her hand.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sister Li, I really can¡¯t help you with this.¡± She pinched a cookie and sent the box back to the woman, ¡°I¡¯m recently trying to lose weight, I¡¯ll just taste one.¡±
¡°Xiao Fei,e in for a second.¡±
Ji Mo pulled open the door to call her, and she got up and walked into the office.
Sister Li then cupped the box and stacked it heavily back on the table, snorting derisively, ¡°Who do you think you are!¡±
¡°Be careful. Once she hears you, you¡¯ll only end up miserable.¡± A colleague next to her reminded her softly.
Sister Li rolled her eyes in disbelief, but when she saw Ning Xiaofei, who was standing in Ji Mo¡¯s office, she squeezed out a smile.
Ning Xiaofei retracted her gaze, closed the door tightly, and walked to the front of Ji Mo¡¯s desk.
¡°Director Ji.¡±
¡°The ideas here are so good that I decided to use your n for the next issue as well. There are only some minor details. But let¡¯s discuss that some other time since the TV station also has restrictions on us.
¡°Director Ji.¡± Ning Xiaofei lifted her face, ¡°I think you should also look at other people¡¯s ns.¡±
¡°You think I didn¡¯t look!¡± Ji Mo gestured at the piles of ns on his desk. ¡°They¡¯re either fake or a parody of your first issue. These arepletely unreadable. The second issue is the key. So, I¡¯ve just had a discussion with the producers as well. We¡¯re going to mention you as an associate director, specifically to n this piece.¡±
If it had been in the past, Ning Xiaofei would have definitely jumped with joy.
Yet now, she just bowed her head in frustration.
¡°Director Ji, I¡¯m grateful for your appreciation of me. But, I¡I want to quit!¡±
Ji Mo is now being criticized after only one period of her nning. If she bes an associate director again, it might set off another batch of tongues wagging.
She has never been afraid of being looked down upon from the start of her internship at a TV station. But she feels very depressed when she is criticized in this manner, especially when Ji Mo shoulders the me for her.
¡°Why?¡± Ji Mo asked in disbelief.
¡°I¡¯m¡I¡¯m just a little tired and want to rest and get a change of scenery.¡±
Ji Mo nodded knowingly. It¡¯s a no-brainer what prompted her to resign.
All the staff in the column group have been drawn from various programs. The TV station used to be a single unit with all of them working hard to eat and live their lives. But now, there is a suddenpetition, and the thunder was robbed away by a young girl who just graduated from school. They naturally wouldn¡¯t approve of her talent, and just look at everything in terms of the external factors around her.
The willpower of these people has long been worn away by life. So, how could they tolerate a talented young person like Ning Xiaofei, who should have more room for development.
¡°I have a partner who admires you very much. If you want a change of scenery, I can ask her out and you can have a chat together, what do you think?¡±
Chapter 245
¡°Thank you, but.......¡± Ning Xiaofei was grateful in her heart, but she still smiled and rejected Ji Mo¡¯s kindness, because she didn¡¯t want to repeat the same mistake, ¡°This time, I want to do it myself.¡±
Ji Mo had originally reached out and pulled open a drawer, reaching out and squeezing Gu Yu¡¯s business card inside. Hearing her say so, he smiled and then withdrew his fingers again, getting up and reaching across the table to Ning Xiaofei.
¡°Good luck to you then.¡±
Ning Xiaofei hurriedly got up from the chair and shook his hand.
¡°Thanks.¡±
This word of thanks is not only for his blessings, but also for the care and appreciation he once showed.
Everything was all a rare experience for her. She has also learned a lot from Ji Mo only in these few days.
¡°If there is anything you need in the future, just ask and don¡¯t forget...I am a friend.¡±
¡°Definitely.¡±
¡°Then ...¡± Ji Mo reached out and handed her n on the table back, ¡°This ... I¡¯ll give it back to you.¡±
¡°No.¡± Ning Xiaofei smiled, ¡°It¡¯s my job.¡±
As long as she hasn¡¯t officially left her job, it was still part of her duty.
Ji Mo looked at the young girl in front of him in an empty space and nodded approvingly.
"Xiao Fei, do your best, you¡¯ll make it!¡±
Ning Xiaofei raised her lips, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the meeting then, I¡¯ll share my thoughts and wait for this issue to be settled before I leave.¡±
From the moment she entered the column group, Ji Mo has always recognized her and helped her a lot. She can¡¯t demolish his stage without a conscience and quit in the middle of the team¡¯s second phase preparations.
Ji Mo said nothing pretentiously, just smiled and nodded at her.
"Okay, Then go get ready, inform everyone, we¡¯ll meet in ten minutes.¡±
Ning Xiaofei walked out of the office noiselessly and informed everyone. Then she carried herputer and prepared to go to the conference room first to prepare for her PPT.
She had just picked up herputer when she heard the sound of high heels and a woman walked in from outside.
Wearing a low-key ck suit with a wide-rimmed pair of sses on her face...and it turned out to be Pei Ruoxi.
Seeing her appear, Ning Xiaofei bowed down and pretended to organize her stuff so as not to look awkward meeting her head-on.
When colleagues in the office saw Pei Ruoxi, their expressions were somewhat unnatural, either bowing their heads and working, or pretending to browse their phones. No one paid her any attention.
First, they don¡¯t want to get too close to Pei Ruoxi and offend Ning Xiaofei, and the other is because they don¡¯t want to make Pei Ruoxi feel embarrassed.
Pei Ruoxi slowly walked to her office. She has always been held up by the crowd, but she was treated like air this time. There wasn¡¯t even a greeting from anyone.
Thepany has always regarded her as a star, but she now suddenly became transparent. Pei Ruoxi has long braced herself, but her mental preparation was still far off. She secretly gritted her teeth andposed herself. Her pace quickened a bit, wanting to just hide in office.
It just so happened that the ountant of the column team in the office next to hers came out with a pile of statements. Because she didn¡¯t notice her, she identally bumped into her and the statements flew scattered all over the ce.
The woman was stunned and hurriedly apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t see you there!¡±
Didn¡¯t see?
Was she transparent?
Or is it that even a small ountant now dares to raise her face at her.....
Pei Ruoxi has been simmering in anger, but has nowhere to vent. This one hit the muzzle, so she naturally will not let her go.
She lifted her heels up and stepped on the statement the colleague was about to pick up and stomped on it hard.

Chapter 246
By the time her high heels left, the statement already had one more noticeable shoe print on it.
"Sorry, I didn¡¯t see that either!"
With a cold grunt, Pei Ruoxi stepped into her office and mmed the door.
The female ountant¡¯s eyes shifted from the shoe print on the statements andnded on the door of the room Pei Ruoxi mmed heavily. Her pair of eyes immediately turned cold.
The staff member nearby quickly came over and helped her pick up the statements, while giving her a few more words offort.
The female ountant got up again and returned to her office to reprint her statements.
With that, Ji Mo came out of the office.
¡°Let¡¯s go, everyone, to the meeting.¡±
The crowd then got up in droves and packed up their things ready for the meeting. Assistant director Chen Liang, gently nudged Ji Mo¡¯s arm.
¡°Director Ji, Miss Pei is here.¡±
Pei Ruoxi?
Ji Mo was also surprised. He had previously let her take a few days off and wait for the next phase to start before returning to familiarize herself with the case n. He didn¡¯t expect her toe to work so soon.
After giving it a thought, he spoke softly.
¡°Inform her to join the meeting!¡±
Chen Liang then went and knocked on Pei Ruoxi¡¯s office door and politely asked her toe along to the meeting. Pei Ruoxi quickly carried her ownputer and book out and also followed everyone into the conference room.
The meeting began with Ji Mo announcing that the show will still use Ning Xiaofei¡¯s n this time around. Everyone was surprised, but there were also a few patting Ning Xiaofei with ttery. Pei Ruoxi¡¯s heart was angry and jealous, but she did not dare to show half a bit of it on her face.
Ning Xiaofei stood up and exined her thoughts and ideas concisely and clearly.
"I¡¯m done, feel free to give yourments."
The crowd was silent. Ji Mo took the initiative to ask some questions in terms of details. With his initiation, only then did everyone started to share their ideas. However, they still tiptoed, careful not to criticize Ning Xiaofei.
Ning Xiaofei sat down in her chair, and was secretly pleased.
It seems that resignation is indeed a wise move, otherwise, if this continues, work will never be done.
Halfway through the meeting, Xiao Song at the front desk burst in sharply.
¡°Miss Pei, the station director is looking for you.¡±
¡°What is the matter?¡±
¡°He didn¡¯t say, just that he wanted you to go to his office right away.¡±
Ji Mo raised his wrist and looked at his watch, ¡°Alright then, let¡¯s also disperse the meeting first. Have lunch and discuss the specific guest candidates in the afternoon. I want everyone to provide information on at least one potential guest.¡±
Pei Ruoxi picked up herputer and stuff, and hurriedly ran out the door. She returned to her office and grabbed her phone, rushing out of the column group.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
¡°Who knows!¡±
¡°Never mind her, let¡¯s go eat!¡±
Everyone was discussing what to have for lunch when an employee in the corner suddenly eximed.
¡°No way, tsk tsk... This time, Pei Ruoxi is really done for.¡±
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
¡°Look at her circle of friends on WeChat, they¡¯re boiling mad!¡±
The colleagues took out their phones to open their WeChat. Ning did the same with the new phone Mu Tianye bought for her, but ready to order a takeaway.
In just a moment, Ye Qiao¡¯s call came through.
¡°Feifei, quickly, look at your circle of friends. I sent you a message, this time Pei Ruoxi ispletely screwed!¡±
Ning Xiaofei clicked on her WeChat and entered her circle of friends. Immediately, she saw a message forwarded by Ye Qiao, clicked it and was stunned.
On the screen, Pei Ruoxi was bent over, lying on the ground like a dog licking the wine on the floor.

Chapter 247
Ning Xiaofei recognized it at a nce, it was the scene when Pei Ruoxi apologized to her before. She immediately grasped phone, and without knocking on the door, she broke into Ji Mo¡¯s office.
"Director Ji, something happened!"
Ji Mo, who was seriously writing notes on the n case, raised his face suspiciously, so Ning Xiaofei handed him her phone.
Seeing the video on the phone, Ji Mo first frowned, then sighed for a moment and handed the phone back to Ning Xiaofei.
¡°I know.¡±
Ning Xiaofei clutched her phone.
¡°Director Ji, I¡¯m sorry.¡±
The exposure of this kind of video not only impacts Pei Ruoxi, but also the whole crew. The person who sent the video might not be her, but it couldn¡¯t be entirely separated from her.
¡°It¡¯s not you who should be saying sorry, I¡¯ll go out and see.¡±
When Ji Mo braced his arms and stood up from his chair, the man walked out of the office with great strides, and Ning Xiaofei followed him.
Outside the door, everyone in the crew was whispering about the matter in groups of three and two. And when they saw Ji Mo and Ning Xiaofeiing out together, they immediately shut up.
Ji Mo looked around sullenly and asked in a low voice, ¡°Who did this?¡±
No one made a sound.
After taking two steps forward, Ji Mo suddenly raised his voice and pped the tabletop heavily.
"You guys don¡¯t think we¡¯re already in a mess, huh?"
They all looked at each other nkly with bated breath.
Deputy director Chen Liang then walked over and gently patted Ji Mo¡¯s arm.
¡°Why don¡¯t we all go for lunch first, and after eating, we¡¯ll have a meeting to discuss it.¡±
Ji Mo coldly looked around at the crowd, turned around and returned to his office, mming the door of his office heavily.
At this time, releasing a video like this will affect not only Pei Ruoxi, but also the entire show team.
There¡¯s no way for Ji Mo to predict how big the impact of this will be. He had poured a lot of his heart and soul into this program, but such a situation had erupted. Naturally, he was also very angry.
¡°Okay, everyone eat first ande back early after lunch.¡±
Chen Liang waved his hand, and everyone left in groups of three or five.
"Xiao Fei, aren¡¯t you going to lunch?¡± Zhang Yue asked with concern from the side.
Ning Xiaofei smiled at him, ¡°I¡¯ll just order takeaway, you go.¡±
She picked her phone again and ordered a takeaway, then braced her forehead with a hand up, heaving a long sigh.
By now, Pei Ruoxi must be hating her to death. Luckily, she had already resigned, otherwise there was really no way to stay here.

Chief Director¡¯s office.
Pei Ruoxi walked in with a smile and rode to the desk of the station manager.
¡°Director, I haven¡¯t seen you for a few days, but you¡¯ve grown younger again!¡±
In the face of her ttery, the station manager sitting behind the table remained gloomy, and did not respond with the delight he had in the past, instead he bit sarcastically.
¡°Pei Ruoxi, I really can¡¯t understand. You said you have a great future, you ... But why are you torturing yourself to death?¡±
Noticing the dilemma, Pei Ruoxi¡¯s smile slipped a bit.
"You... What do you mean?.. I don¡¯t understand."
The station manager raised his hand and tossed his phone over, ¡°See for yourself!¡±
Pei Ruoxi took the phone, saw a video and pressed the y button. Upon seeing herself in the content, her fingers trembled and her face instantly became pale as paper.
¡°Director, this... someone must be setting me up on purpose!¡±
¡°Could it be that someone forced you to shoot that video?¡± The station manager came over and snatched his own phone from her hand, "The Municipal Public Department minister called personally to ask what was going on, you don¡¯t know... thanks to me single-handedly bringing you up, I was at a publicity meeting the other day and even nominated you as a media ambassador, I¡¯m so fucking blind!¡±

Chapter 248: Either the fish dies or the splits
Because of this incident, the director was scolded by the publicity department, and at this time, naturally, all the anger was poured out on Pei Ruoxi.
¡°Director, listen to my exnation ...¡±
¡°No need to exin!¡± The station manager pointed his finger to Pei Ruoxi¡¯s nose, his face blue, ¡°Write your resignation letter immediately and get the hell out of here. Don¡¯t do anything in the station¡¯s capacity in the future, otherwise...don¡¯t me me for turning the other cheek!¡±
¡°Station manager.......¡±
¡°Get lost!¡±
Pei Ruoxi looked at the cold face in front of her, turned around helplessly, and walked out of the station manager¡¯s office in tears.
¡°It¡¯s her, right?¡±
¡°Of course, what a surprise....¡±
¡°If this ever happened to me, I would have died!¡±
.......
Outside the office, several assistants and staff were whispering. Upon seeing here out, they immediately shut up. There¡¯s no need to think to know what they are talking about her. Pei Ruoxi raised her hand to wipe her tears, speed up her pace and ran out the door.
All the way to the elevator, she stumbled like a lost dog, covering her face, and crying out in pain.
Waiting until the elevator came to a stop on the floor where the show crew was, she slowly lowered both hands, her face already stained with a scowl.
¡°Ning Xiaofei!¡±
Clenching her fists, she rushed out of the elevator in a fury, rushing all the way back to the show crew, and straight to Ning Xiaofei, who had just gotten her take-out.
Pei Ruoxi grabbed the food on the table and flung it heavily on the ground. Pei Ruoxi pulled Ning Xiaofei, who had raised her face in dismay, and cried, ¡°Now are you satisfied, are you happy....ah?¡±
¡°Pei Ruoxi.¡± Ning Xiaofei put the chopsticks in her hand back on the table, ¡°You¡¯re barking up the wrong tree, I didn¡¯t do it.¡±
¡°Not you?¡± Pei Ruoxiughed, ¡°Do you want to destroy me?...Today, I...let¡¯s see if the fish dies or the splits!¡±
She reached out and smashed the files on the table towards Ning Xiaofei, who took two steps back to avoid it. Pei Ruoxi turned her hand to grab a folder, and rushed towards her like a madman.
The office door parted, and Ji Mo rushed over hurriedly, blocking Ning Xiaofei and grabbing the folder that Pei Ruoxi wanted to hurl.
¡°Calm down!¡±
¡°Calm down? How am I to calm down!¡± Pei Ruoxi loosened the folder, ¡°Thanks to me trusting you so much, you said she¡¯ll let me go if I apologize, I begged her like a dog... But what,did she let me go.......¡±
Ji Mo stood in front of Ning Xiaofei sullenly, ¡°This matter has nothing to do with Xiaofei, don¡¯t be unreasonable.¡±
¡°I¡¯m being unreasonable?¡± Pei Ruoxiughed out loud, ¡°I¡¯m so stupid to believe your bullshit...I should have thought that you guys were in the same boat, I would have rather gone to jail if I knew this was the case!¡±
One by one, those who had gone for lunch came back in time to witness this struggle and rushe to subdue the fight.
Chen Liang then pulled Pei Ruoxi, ¡°Miss Ruoxi, the matter has not been rified yet, do not be impulsive.......¡±
¡°Get out of the way!¡± Pei Ruoxi forcefully shook off his hand, then coldlyughed and pointed at Ji Mo¡¯s face, ¡°I thought you were still as upright as back then. It never urred to me that you are now just a dog that can wag its tail to the powerful!¡±
The man, who had knelt down for the sake of Pei Ruoxi, was used terribly. Ning Xiaofei really couldn¡¯t stand watching it.
¡°Pei Ruoxi!¡± Ning Xiaofei asked bitterly, ¡°Do you know how Director Ji interceded for you? He....¡±
¡°Xiao Fei!¡± Ji Mo hastened to stop her, ¡°Stop it!¡±

Chapter 249: Never mess with honest people
Chapter 249: Never mess with honest people
Ning Xiaofei nced sideways and fell on Ji Mo¡¯s face writhing in pain and frowned in distress.
¡°Director Ji?¡±
On the other side, Pei Ruoxi smiled coldly.
¡°For me, he¡¯s doing it for himself, isn¡¯t he? Now that I¡¯ve been fired, you can take my ce squarely and be the host, and he curry favor in front of Mu Tianye, aren¡¯t I right? However, Ning Xiaofei, don¡¯t get cocky too early. I tell you, the world is as ck as a crow, all men are the same, you are now the darling of Mu Tianye¡¯s eyes...¡± She was talking to Ning Xiaofei, but her pair of eyes were trained towards Ji Mo, ¡°When he has had enough of you, you will be nothing more than a scrapped flower and a broken willow that has been abandoned...¡±
Pop!
Ji Mo raised his right hand and a p exploded in Pei Ruoxi¡¯s face.
¡°You ...¡± Pei Ruoxi raised her hand to cover her beaten cheek, ¡°You beat me for such a woman, Ji Mo, you ...¡±
¡°Enough!¡± Ji Mo interrupted her coldly. ¡°I have said that this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Fei. If you want to me or hate anyone, just me it on me or hate me.¡±
¡°Good.......¡± Pei Ruoxi shook staring at Ji Mo, ¡°Ji Mo, you¡¯re ruthless enough!¡±
Ji Mo sulked and remained detached.
¡°Go!¡±
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go ...¡± Pei Ruoxi turned to her office and walked to the door and saw the ountant standing next to the hallway.
¡°Pei Ruoxi!¡± Instead of dodging, the ountant raised her face and stared straight at her, ¡°Don¡¯t you misunderstand anyone, the video was recorded and posted by me.¡±
A single sentence, like a giant stone into the sea, stunned a room full of people.
¡°You?¡± Pei Ruoxi also furrowed her brow, ¡°Have I ever offended you?¡±
¡°Huh!¡± The ountant grunted coldly, ¡°Of course you don¡¯t remember me, but I remember you, I¡¯ll remember you for life.¡±
She took a deep breath, tears already spilling out of the corners of her eyes.
¡°If it wasn¡¯t for you, do you think I, who obviously studied broadcasting, would now have to count money for others every day? I just wanted everyone to know what kind of person you Pei Ruoxi really are!¡±
¡°You.... ¡± Pei Ruoxi was forced back a step by her hatred, ¡°You....don¡¯t talk nonsense, I don¡¯t know you!¡±
¡°Of course, you don¡¯t know me, you too were at the host qualifying exam, but afraid of being found out carrying a cheat sheet, you slipped it into my pocket, causing me to be disqualified from the exam forever...¡± The ountant trembled and raised her hand to point at her face, ¡°Your face, even if burnt to ashes, I would recognize it for life.¡±
¡°You...don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± Pei Ruoxi¡¯s mouth retorted, but her voice appeared to be somewhat deficient.
The ountant stepped forward and forced a look at her, ¡°Don¡¯t you dare pat your conscience and tell me that, haven¡¯t you done it?¡±
¡°I...I didn¡¯t!¡±
The ountant has always been an honest person. She recognized Pei Ruoxi as the girl who harmed her that year, but the ountant just cursed her behind her back, and did not dare to do anything about her.
But when she was invited to dinner together that day, watching Pei Ruoxi viciously being yed by Mu Tianye, she felt very grateful to Ning Xiaofei for helping her vent her frustration and anger. In a momentary impulse, she quietly recorded a video, originally for her own memento in order to lessen the hatred of that year.
But today, Pei Ruoxi treated her rudely again, driving this honest woman to the edge. In a fit of anger, she could only send that video to her circle of friends.
The ountant raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face and gave a shallow smile.
¡°Now, it doesn¡¯t matter to me if you admit it or not. You ruined my career and made me theughing stock of the entire school and had to transfer to a different major. This time, I¡¯m going to destroy you too. I¡¯m going to give you a taste of what it¡¯s like to be pointed everywhere you go!¡±
Chapter 250: Life is like a play. Its all about acting.
Chapter 250: Life is like a y. It''s all about acting.
¡°You!¡± Pei Ruoxi stared angrily at the ountant¡¯s face, ¡°You wait, I...I¡¯ll sue you...for defamation.¡±
¡°Whatever.¡± The female ountant sneered indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid to wear shoes in my bare feet anyway, as long as you¡¯re not afraid of making a scene.¡±
The exact sentence that¡¯s poking at Pei Ruoxi¡¯s face.
Now, it¡¯s not toote for her to cover it up, and who would want to make a big deal out of it?
A few momentster, she hugged herputer and her own bag out, looking around at the crowd around her coldly. Her gaze stayed on Ji Mo for a few seconds, ripped off the bracelet on her wrist and flung it to the ground, then turned around to leave with huge strides.
Dropping his eyes, Ji Mo walked up and picked up the bracelet. The crowd collected his movements in their eyes, but no one made a sound.
The female ountant walked up to Ning Xiaofei and opened her mouth in apology, ¡°Xiao Fei, I¡¯m sorry for giving you trouble.¡±
Ning Xiaofei gently shook her head.
She also came out of a media-type school. Of course. She¡¯s clear how important that certificate is to someone who studied broadcasting, where four years of effort is ruined and an entire career is cut short. That kind of blow is enough to ruin a person¡¯s life.
The female ountant gave her a deep bow and walked over to Ji Mo as well.
¡°I¡¯m done with the work at hand, why don¡¯t you hire a new ountant?¡±
Having done such a thing, she was also aware that she could no longer keep her job, so she didn¡¯t go out for lunch and justpleted all the tasks at hand.
Ji Mo took a deep breath and returned calm as usual, ¡°There is nothing wrong with your work, I am not qualified to fire you.¡±
Director Ji Mo isn¡¯t going to fire her?
The female ountant was moved, lifting her face somewhat unsure.
¡°Go and have your lunch first!¡±
Nodding gently to her, Ji Mo turned around and walked towards his office.
His entire back was radiating loneliness.
With this, everyone also returned to their positions, and Ning Xiaofei nced around.
¡°Apologies for interrupting.¡± The crowd immediately turned their faces in unison, and she smiled faintly as she owed the crowd, ¡°I¡¯m d to have worked with you all for so long, and thank you for all the help you¡¯ve given me before. If there¡¯s anything I¡¯ve done to offend you in the past, please forgive me.¡±
Deputy director Chen Liang stood up in astonishment, ¡°Why, are you leaving too?¡±
Ning Xiaofei didn¡¯t exin much and just gave an ¡°En¡±.
Those who had gossiped about her behind her back and ndered her in their hearts........
¡°Thank you!¡±
With a smile to the crowd, she returned to her spot and began to gather her things.
Once aside, Zhang Yue turned to her side and didn¡¯t say anything more, just extended his right hand towards her.
¡°Good luck, Xiao Fei.¡±
¡°Thanks!¡± Ning Xiaofei smiled and shook his hand, ¡°It¡¯s not very convenient for me these days, wait for a while, I¡¯ll invite you to dinner with your girlfriend when I have time.¡±
Zhang Yue nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll treat you.¡±
Ning Xiaofei gathered her things and looked at Ji Mo¡¯s office, ¡°You should go andfort Director Ji.¡±
In the meantime, she¡¯d better not bother him.
¡°I will.¡± Zhang Yue stood up, ¡°I¡¯ll send you off.¡±
Ning Xiaofei did not refuse.
Chen Liang and Zhang Yue sent her out together, the crowd also stood up to send her away, one by one showing reluctance. Ning Xiaofei turned her face to the crowd and smiled.
¡°Life is like a y, it¡¯s all about acting! While sending me away sullenly, you¡¯re pping your hands in your heart. You¡¯re really good actors!¡±
Chapter 251: My boobs are gone
Chapter 251: My boobs are gone
Whoever offends her, she¡¯ll double it back. This has always been Ning Xiaofei¡¯s temper.
Having already quit, these people were still pretending to be concerned about her. She naturally couldn¡¯t help but spit a few words so they would know that she wasn¡¯t stupid!
They nched in an instant, proof that her sarcasm has hit the mark.
Seeing her carrying some stuff, Xiao Song at the front desk asked in bafflement, ¡°Xiao Fei, what are you doing?¡±
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s smile had turned sincere when she looked at her, ¡°I resigned.¡±
¡°Why is that?¡±
¡°We¡¯ll talk over dinner some other time.¡± Ning Xiaofei didn¡¯t want to say more about it. Sensing her meaning, Xiao Song asked no further and snatched the small box she was holding into her own arms.
The three of them sent her to the entrance of the elevator together, and Chen Liang spoke, ¡°I don¡¯t have much skill, but I do have some experience. If you need my help in the future, feel free to call.¡±
¡°And me.¡±
¡°Yeah, Xiao Fei, and me. even though I don¡¯t know anything.¡± Xiao Song followed suit.
¡°Rest assured, in the future... We¡¯ll surely meet.¡±
Ning Xiaofei smiled at the three, said goodbye, and walked into the elevator.
In the afternoon, she made a call to Mu Tianye.
¡°Husband, let me tell you some unfortunate news, your wife is now a hobo.¡±
The man¡¯s tone was tinged with concern, ¡°Someone bullied you?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t look at who I am, who dares to bully me? It was I who thought this little puddle was too shallow to flutter, so I myself was going to take a wave in the Pacific!¡±
She seemed to have heard the man chuckle, before he raised his voice again, ¡°Alright ... Look whichpany do you prefer, or...do you want to start apany yourself and I¡¯ll invest?¡±
Ning Xiaofei thenughed, ¡°How about...you buy CCTV for me?¡±
¡°I¡¯m serious.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t bother.¡± Ning Xiaofei leaned against the elevator wall and smiled as she opened her mouth, ¡°Anyway, hubby has plenty of money, and with your sry to support the family, I¡¯m only responsible for looking beautiful as a flower.¡±
Since she still has the mood to joke, he surmised that she wasn¡¯t in as bad a mood as he thought, Mu Tianye was also slightly relieved, ¡°I¡¯ll have the driver pick you up and I¡¯ll try to get home early at night.¡±
¡°Okay, then hubby should work hard and make money, see you tonight.¡±
Going downstairs to the first floor lobby, Ning Xiaofei held the box and sat down in a corner of the lounge sofa, tidying things up while waiting for the driver to call.
The useful stuff was packed into her backpack and she got up to throw the useless ones into the trash.
Boom!
Before she could turn around, a box was mmed heavily against the trash can.
¡°Damn it, this auntie quitting was not good enough, this ce is not for this master, it¡¯s up to this master if she wants to stay...¡±
Ning Xiaofei turned her face away in disbelief, ¡°Xiao Qiao?¡±
The one standing behind her with an indignant face was no other than Ye Qiao.
Ning Xiaofei immediately asked with concern, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Didn¡¯t you say before that you¡¯re officially going to start hosting next week?¡±
Ye Qiao raised her hand and pointed to her own face, the always open-minded girl full of grievances, ¡°Look at my face, in order to look good on camera, I have lost eight pounds of meat. Xiao Fei, eight pounds! Sister Xu was supposed to be on maternity leave next Monday, so I¡¯m officially filling in for her, but do you know what happened... The daughter of a rtive of the vice president, a recent college graduate, who didn¡¯t even get a broadcasting license, directly rode over my head! What the hell is this? I should have known better, what did I lose weight for, my boobs are now gone!¡±
Chapter 252: Soothe a wounded little heart.
Chapter 252: Soothe a wounded little heart.
Ning Xiaofei reached over her palm to pat her good friend¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Let¡¯s go, go home with meter, and I¡¯ll cook you something delicious for the evening and patch your breasts back!¡±
¡°I want to eat barbecue, stew, and braised pork!¡±
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll make you whatever meat you want to eat.¡±
Ye Qiao thenughed and pushed her, ¡°I want to eat your family¡¯s Master Mu¡¯s meat, will you part with it?¡±
¡°Let me see you dare cut an inch!¡±
¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare!¡± Ye Qiao grimaced and asked uneasily, ¡°Your King Yama isn¡¯t home, is he?¡±
That man was famous outside. He yed Pei Ruoxi like a dog, si Ye Qiao was naturally very scared of him.
¡°He won¡¯t be home till night!¡±
¡°Okay, then it¡¯s settled, I¡¯ll go get a feel of the life of a local tyrant and soothe my wounded little heart too,¡± as she was speaking, Ning Xiaofei¡¯s phone rang. When she saw that the driver¡¯s car outside had parked at the bottom of the steps, she grabbed Ye Qiao¡¯s suitcase, ¡°Go, let¡¯s go eat meat!¡±
Ye Qiao followed her into the back seat of the Mercedes Benz and raised her right hand and gave a middle finger towards the TV station building, ¡°Wait until this sister makes a name for herself and punch you in the faces!¡±
Ning Xiaofei smiled, then spoke softly, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
The car started up and drove out of the TV station.
........
........
Di Shi, Xicheng¡¯s workroom.
A man¡¯s slender figure leanedzily on the white sofa, watching the news on TV, and his beautiful eyebrows immediately furrowed.
On TV was the video of him taking Ning Xiaofei away from the station before it was aired. The story was also exaggerated.
¡°...Xicheng and Ning Xiaofei looked very close holding hands. And in order to protect his girlfriend, he even smashed a reporter¡¯s camera face with his face flushed with rage......¡±
¡°Holding hands, huh, which eye did they see that... And quoting that ¡®face flushed with rage,¡¯ was the script-writer illiterate?¡± Turning off the TV, he turned to face the door, ¡°Why isn¡¯t he here yet?¡±
Xu Yang raised his wrist and looked at his watch, ¡°I said two o¡¯clock, it¡¯s already past twenty or so!¡±
¡°So do I have to wait for her?¡± Xicheng tossed the remote on the table, ¡°Call her, if she¡¯s not there in ten minutes, I¡¯ll rece her!¡±
For the past two days, he¡¯s been working on ways to turn the situation around.
There wasn¡¯t much that could be done after brainstorming about it. After discussing it with the studio team, they decided to hold a press conference and then let him take a few days off first to let things fade on their own, something that Xicheng didn¡¯t agree with.
He knew it wasn¡¯t that simple. It was easy for him to hide, but what about Ning Xiaofei, where was she going to hide?
So, in the end, his decision was ¨C just find someone to be his fake girlfriend, draw the fire from reporters, and break up casually a monthter.
¡°Sir,¡± Xu Yang poured a ss of water into his hand, ¡°Do you really want to do it? By then... when you suddenly break up, the reporters will surely use you of being a yboy.¡±
Xicheng¡¯s face was indifferent, ¡°Whatever!¡±
As long as he could solve Ning Xiaofei¡¯s dilemma, he didn¡¯t care what reporters wrote about him.
Xu Yang still had some reservations, but a knock came at the door and Xicheng raised his voice.
¡°Come in!¡±
The door was pushed open, then a young girl in a beautiful fashion and exquisite makeup stepped into the room with high heels. She walked to the sofa with a smile on her face, and extended her palm to him in greeting.
¡°Mr. Xicheng, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you.¡±
..........

Chapter 253: Id rather pretend to be gay.
Chapter 253: I''d rather pretend to be gay.
Xicheng leaned back against the couch without moving and just swept a nce at the person sideways.
Assistant Xu Yang, who had expected his reaction, smiled and walked forward to shake her hand mid-air whichnded nowhere.
¡°Miss Judy, hello.¡±
This young girl, who belongs to the samepany as Xicheng, has just starred in the movie ¡°The Kingpin¡±, which has been on fire for a while.
Of course,pared to Xicheng¡¯s poprity, Judy was still a hundred and eighty thousand miles short. To be able to use Xicheng¡¯s name to make a hype was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her.
After Xicheng offered the fake role of his girlfriend, the private team sifted through the options and finally shortlisted a few names, where Judy wasn¡¯t originally considered.
It was only because Judy¡¯s agent was acquainted with Xicheng¡¯s team. After finding out, she took the initiative to reach and said that she would be ¡®very cooperative and obedient¡¯. Only then did the team decide on Judy.
Xu Yang politely motioned for Judy to take a seat on the couch, then took out a prepared document and delivered it to her.
¡°These are Mr. Xicheng¡¯s conditions, and if you feel it is too harsh, you can refuse it.¡±
¡°No need to look.¡± Judy gently ced the paper on the table, took a pen and signed her name on the back. With false eyshes, she sent an impish nce to Xicheng, ¡°I¡¯m Mr. Xicheng¡¯s hardcore fan, I¡¯ll do whatever Mr. Xicheng wants me to do.¡±
¡°Then you¡¯d better go and grow a brain first. Take note of all the few conditions on the document, or else...¡± said Xicheng as he rose tall from the sofa, ¡°I¡¯ll change people whenever I can.¡±
Judy¡¯s agent hurriedly ran over and ttered, ¡°Mr. Xicheng, rest assured, our Miss Judy is very sensible and will never cause you any trouble.¡±
¡°That would be best.¡± Xicheng reached over and took a book he spotted on one side, ¡°Send them off.¡±
Judy fumbled for her phone from her bag, ¡°What¡¯s Mr. Xicheng¡¯s number, I¡¯ll save it.¡±
¡°Idiot!¡±
Xicheng let out a low curse.
The first article in the document stated clearly that his people will contact her if necessary, and she was never to contact him unterally, and yet she wanted his phone number?
¡°Miss Judy, I¡¯ll be in touch with you if necessary.¡± Xu Yang handed her the documents on the table, ¡°You¡¯d better...look at the papers carefully.¡±
In fear that she¡¯d say anything else to piss Xicheng off, the agent rushed over and took Judy by the arm.
¡°Then...we¡¯ll take our leave, please feel free to contact us with any needs and requests, we¡¯ll definitely give our full cooperation.¡±
With that said, she pulled Judy out of the room.
Xu Yang sent the two out the door and returned to the room to see Xicheng¡¯s displeased face, so he spoke softly.
¡°It¡¯s fake anyway, so you just...make do with it?¡±
Xicheng frowned, ¡°Adjust the time from a month to half a month.¡±
It¡¯s toote to switch for another candidate now, so just adjust the time frame for them being fake couples. Being with her for a month, he¡¯d rather fake being gay!
¡°Okay, rx, I¡¯ll make the arrangements.¡± Xu Yang looked at his watch, ¡°The reporters have already arrived and it¡¯s about time, let¡¯s go downstairs.¡±
........
........
Lanting Apartment.
Ye Qiao followed Ning Xiaofei into the apartment door, looked around, and immediately sighed, ¡°Do you know how much money a house here costs? More than eighty thousand a t. My annual sry isn¡¯t enough to pay for just this area on the bottom of my shoes.¡±
Ning Xiaofei took a pair of slippers and handed them to her, ¡°Sit on the couch while I go get you something to eat.¡±
Chapter 254 - Clothes are within reach, food comes in mouthfuls, and a handsome man to bed at night…
Chapter 254 - Clothes are within reach, foodes in mouthfuls, and a handsome man to bed at night¡
¡°Young Madam, you¡¯re back,¡± Miss Liu weed them from the living room and when she saw Ye Qiao, she immediately made a polite curtsy, ¡°This must be your friend, wee.¡±
¡°This is Ye Qiao, this is miss Liu.¡± Ning Xiaofei made a brief introduction, then asked Miss Liu to take Ye Qiao inside, ¡°I¡¯ll go get her something to eat.¡±
¡°You two sit, I¡¯ll go!¡± Miss Liu smiled and went into the kitchen, while the two girls walked into the living room together.
Plopping herself onto the bigfortable sofa, Ye Qiao then looked at Ning Xiaofei with a wicked grin, ¡°Clothes are within reach, foodes in mouthfuls, and a handsome man to bed at night... This is my ideal life. Howe you¡¯re living it first? It¡¯s not fair!¡±
Ning Xiaofei tossed her an orange, ¡°You might as well pamper yourself and get plenty of food and clothing!¡±
Ye Qiao was just mean-spirited in temperament. The two have been friends for so many years, so Ning Xiaofei knew her well.
Ye Qiao caught the orange, and she started ordering someone around, ¡°Xiao Fei, turn the TV on for this Master!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Ning Xiaofei grabbed the remote control and turned on the TV, ¡°Which channel does Young Master want to watch?¡±
¡°Let it run, I¡¯ll browse first.¡±
Ning Xiaofei pressed the programs one by one and saw Xicheng on one channel, Ye Qiao immediately shouted for her to stop.
¡°Come on,e on, look at your rumored boyfriend.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous, we have a tonic rtionship.¡±
Ye Qiao poofed andughed, ¡°Are there still tonic rtionships between men and women these days? Only ghosts would believe in your lies. Honestly, confess, upper or lower body friendship.......¡±
Ning Xiaofei then reached out and pinched her in the side ribs, ¡°I¡¯ll develop a lower body friendship with you right now.¡±
As it happened, Miss Liu had just brought in their food, so the two girls were too embarrassed to mess with each other and hurriedly seated themselves to watch TV.
¡°...I apologize for causing trouble to Miss Ning Xiaofei and the Dialogue with God column team. Today, I would like to solemnly say sorry to Miss Ning Xiaofei.¡± On the screen, Xicheng looked around, his gaze was already icy cold, ¡°From now on, all media must immediately stop reporting this matter and the harassment of Miss Ning Xiaofei. Otherwise, I will immediately take legal action. I do what I say!¡±
Ning Xiaofei smirked, while Ye Qiao forked a piece of cake.
¡°This Xicheng is still upright, he¡¯s worthy of being my male god!¡± Speaking of which, she gave Ning Xiaofei another sidelong re, ¡°You¡¯ve got all the handsome guys running after you. Isn¡¯t it a bit much for you, a married woman, to keep upying the husband of us unmarried girls?¡±
By this time, the conference was over and Xicheng got up and left the room, simply ignoring the reporters¡¯ pursuing questions.
When the TV show switched to amercial, Ning Xiaofei¡¯s phone rang. When she saw the number of Xicheng above, she hurriedly answered it.
¡°I¡¯ve cleared things up about our affairs with the media. After a couple of days, the limelight will pass. You don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡±
¡°I just watched it on TV, thank you!¡±
¡°It was originally my fault.¡± Xicheng paused for a bit, ¡°When you have time sometime, let¡¯s meet...I mean, I want to get that coat back. My sister sent that to me from abroad, I¡¯m afraid she won¡¯t be happy knowing.¡±
Mu Tianye had thrown that coat long ago, so she didn¡¯t know which dumpsit it was. How was she going to find it?
¡°Uhm...¡± Ning Xiaofei was instantly embarrassed, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, that coat, I-I identally lost it. Otherwise, shall I... I pay you back or buy you another one?¡±
Chapter 255 - Has always treated women as dung
Chapter 255 - Has always treated women as dung
¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s just a piece of clothing. Just throw it away. Are your injuries healed?¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
¡°Xicheng, shall I buy you a new one?¡±
The fact that a good piece of clothing was lost, and was even a gift by someone else¡¯s sister, Ning Xiaofei was inevitably a bit upset.
The man smiled faintly, ¡°If you really feel bad about it, how about...buying me dinner some other day.¡±
¡°I can¡¯t afford to pay for a big meal, mtang or deep-fried dough stick pancakes...which one do you prefer?¡± Ning Xiaofei asked with a smile.
Xicheng did notugh, but his tone was serious, ¡°A guest should suit the convenience of the host, I¡¯ll eat whatever you buy. I will wait for your call. There¡¯s something else on my end, I¡¯ll hang up now, bye.¡±
¡°Xicheng.......¡± Listening to the blind tone in the phone, Ning Xiaofei couldn¡¯t help but sigh lightly. She was just joking, but he seemed to have taken it seriously.
On the one hand, Ye Qiao smiled ambiguously and came over, jabbing her arm.
¡°Hey, he really has his eye on you?¡±
¡°Say what, impossible!¡±
¡°Why else would he have called you? As far as I know, that man has always regarded women as dung, and had no scandal whatsoever... He put his coat on you and reported to you after his conference, saving the beauty in front of so many journalists.... Isn¡¯t it obvious that he¡¯s interested in you? Bute to think of it, wasn¡¯t your King Yama jealous? Xiao Fei... What happened to your nose? Why does it look a little swollen? Did you have a nose job?¡±
¡°I identally fell, it hurts¡± Ning Xiaofei raised her hand and pped her palm away, ¡°What are you going to do now that you¡¯re jobless?¡±
¡°What can I do? Find one again!¡± Ye Qiao originally grabbed the remote control to change the station, and suddenly thought of something. She turned her face to Ning Xiaofei, ¡°By the way...have you heard of Fengyun Media?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t that thepany we¡¯re working with on the column, why?¡±
¡°I heard that Fengyun Media has been bought out, and arge amount of money has been injected to change its name to Fengyun International. They are now recruiting people, should we give it a try?¡±
¡°Really?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s take a look to know.¡±
Ye Qiao took herputer bag, took theputer out of it and flipped it open, crackling for a while before turning the screen to Ning Xiaofei, ¡°You see?¡±
On the web page, the recruitment page of Fengyun International was disyed. There really were job descriptions of their recruitment for hosts, nning... Unlike otherpanies, who require work experience, the following information was marked in bold font, ¡®Interns and recent graduates are wee to apply.¡¯
¡°Thepany is not bad, I¡¯ve heard that the working environment and treatment are good, and the leaders are young and very energetic.¡± Ning Xiaofei carefully browsed through the recruitment page, ¡°So...let¡¯s try sending our resume?¡±
¡°What are you waiting for?¡± Ye Qiao immediately turned theputer back, ¡°I¡¯ll send you their email on QQ.¡±
So, Ning Xiaofei also brought her ownputer over, entered her mailbox, pulled out the previous resume, modified it a bit, and sent it to the mail address Ye Qiao sent her.
After sending their resumes, the two girls raised their hands together and gave each other a high five, then simultaneously grinned.
It was like going back to school and sending in countless resumes every day to find a job. Their depression over losing their jobs disappeared ¨C that¡¯s how good youth was, you can afford to lose and start all over again.
That day, Ye Qiao stayed until after dinner. Mu Tianye hadn¡¯t returned yet, so Ning Xiaofei carried herputer and browsed through some job postings for a while. She sent a few more resumes, and was about to go upstairs to take a shower when a news popped on the screen.

Chapter 256 - Master Mu’s gift
Chapter 256 - Master Mu¡¯s gift
¡°Hot news ¨C Xicheng¡¯s girlfriend is someone else!¡±
Seeing her name on the news in this manner, Ning Xiaofei really didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry.
At heart, she was a bit curious.
She moved her mouse and clicked on the news.
The big red headline, for fear of being unobtrusive, was apanied by a few photos below. The candid shot was obviously taken in a distance from the blurry picture, but that tall figure in the hoodie was indeed the same as the one Xicheng was wearing.
Another photo was of a girl wrapped in a trench coat, almost her side profile was clear, and her face was exquisite and vaguely familiar.
As if in fear that the onlookers would not recognize, the girl was circled on the face, next to a special photo of her face was ¨C the current hot actress of ¡°The Kingpin¡± heroine, Judy.
The body of the news below was clearly written, at 7 p.m. today. Xicheng and Judy drove to the hotel, and Xicheng¡¯s assistant Xu Yang personally greeted Judy downstairs, which led to the inference that they were here for a ndestine meeting...
Ning Xiaofei looked at the news below and couldn¡¯t help but feel a little sympathy for Xicheng. It really wasn¡¯t easy for a star to fall in love, and have to dodge and hide for a date.
But this guy was really, really careless, right?
Just take Judy to his manor. It was a secret ce, so reporters would certainly not find it. Why must they go to the hotel, wasn¡¯t this deliberately giving reporters a scoop?
The following news also was an analysis of the rtionship between the two, and spected that they must have gotten to know of each other and then fell in love when Xicheng was arranging the theme song of ¡°Lord of Shanghai.¡±
Xicheng¡¯s influence was really extraordinary, for the news that just popped up has already had several thousandments.
Netizens responded differently.
Some of them called the paparazzis out for being too nosy and forced their idol to not even have room for love.
Some were crying and dissing Judy for snatching their husband¡¯s love.
There was another one. Even Ning Xiaofei and Judy werepared, saying that Judy wasn¡¯t as beautiful as Ning Xiaofei, which immediately attracted a lot of Judy¡¯s fans. Both sides directly pinched each other on the Inte.
...
Ning Xiaofei braced her cheeks and watched the two groups on the screen cursing each other, and was moved to tears.
As the sound of footsteps approached her softly, Ning Xiaofei turned her face to see that Mu Tianye was walking towards her, she immediately raised a smile.
¡°Husband, you¡¯re back.¡±
¡°This is for you.¡±
Mu Tianye reached over his right hand behind his back and handed her a box.
Ning Xiaofei reached out to receive the long square box, ¡°Why are you giving me a gift?¡±
It wasn¡¯t a special day either, could it be a return gift for the socks she¡¯d given him earlier?
¡°It¡¯s just a gift.¡±
The man said faintly and sidled into his seat beside her.
How Ning Xiaofei had lost her job, Mu Tianye didn¡¯t know, but it was conceivable how bad her mood right now was. He wasn¡¯t good at coaxing girls, so the only thing that came to mind was giving her a gift. Thus, he especially went to buy her a gift after his meeting.
Pulling back the ribbon and opening the package, Ning Xiaofei puzzledly flipped open the lid of the cardboard box that was about the size of an A4 paper.
Inside the gift box, which was close to the size of an A4 paper, there were small square boxes neatly arranged in six rows of different color and the packaging neatly arranged: red, gold, ck, silver ... ... beautiful boxes, at a nce, as if a different colored rainbow.
She carefully drew out a box and was stunned to see what it was.
Chapter 257 - Husband, am I sexy?
Chapter 257 - Husband, am I sexy?
Taking in Ning Xiaofei¡¯s reaction in his eyes, Mu Tianye frowned.
¡°You don¡¯t like it?¡±
He had just bought her clothes and given new jewelry. Mu Tianye didn¡¯t want to give the same things before, so he thought of cosmetics.
As a man, of course he knew nothing about such items. He just listened to the shop assistant saying, ¡°Isn¡¯t it said online, there is no problem not solved by lipsticks. Buy one, take two.¡± He bought all the new colors from a few of the big brands. There were 50 or 60 of them. He thought they could make her happy, but she didn¡¯t like them?
¡°Of course not.¡± Ning Xiaofei turned her face away, ¡°It¡¯s just...it¡¯s too much.¡±
It was nothing new for boys to give away lipstick to girls, but it was a bit exaggerated to give away a box like he did.
Mu Tianye raised an eyebrow, he had never heard that there were still people who dislike too many gifts.
¡°Then... take one and give me the rest!¡±
¡°On what grounds!¡± Ning Xiaofei immediately reached out and hugged the box in her arms, ¡°They¡¯re all mine!¡±
She wasn¡¯t proficient at applying make-up and didn¡¯t have the spare money to buy these before. But he didn¡¯t forget to buy her a gift despite his busy work, she was already delighted with his thoughts alone. How could she be unhappy?
Hugging the box and squinting her eyes at Mu Tianye, his eyebrows were slightly raised and his expression had already turned cloudy.
Holding the box, she sneaked a peek at Mu Tianye, and sure enough, his eyebrows were slightly raised. His expression had turned from cloudy and sunny.
Only then did Ning Xiaofei rx, and she casually opened the lipstick package in her hand.
¡°But honestly, I haven¡¯t really used much lipstick before.¡± Seeing that the inside was a pretty transparent pale pink, she twisted the lipstick out and applied it on her lips, Ning Xiaofei turned her face towards Mu Tianye, ¡°Pretty?!¡±
Looking at her dappled lips, Mu Tianye shook his head.
He tilted her chin, reached for the lipstick in her hand and carefully helped her apply it evenly.
Her lips were full and beautifully shaped, pink with lipstick and even more delicate in the light, making him want to take a couple of bites.
¡°Pretty.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Ning Xiaofei pouted, climbed onto the coffee table and fished out a small mirror from her bag, and then inspected her mouth agape in the mirror. ¡°Well... this color is so beautiful.¡±
At this point, she turned to Mu Tianye, reached out and embraced his neck, and kissed the man on the face. Looking at that faint lip mark on the man¡¯s cheek, she giggled.
Mu Tianye raised his hand to wipe his face and the tip of his eyebrows gently rose. His eyes fell on her happy smiling face, and a whiff of his thinly veiled anger also evaporated.
¡°Don¡¯t be too concerned about the work, take your time.¡±
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s smile stiffened a bit.
So, he had bought her so many lipsticks just to cheer her up, in case she was in a bad mood from losing her job?
In a heartbeat, she was touched.
Reaching over and pulling a tissue, she leaned forward and carefully wiped his face clean.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just another job. I¡¯m not going to worry about such trivial matters.¡±
As soon as she dropped the tissue in her hand, she took another lipstick.
¡°It¡¯s...deep red, I¡¯ve never worn this before!¡±
Wiping off the lipstick on her lips, she applied the red lipstick in front of the hand mirror and turned to look at him.
¡°How about this?¡±
¡°Pretty.¡±
Ning Xiaofei looked back in the small mirror, and mimicking something she had seen in a movie, she stuck the tip of her tongue out and slowly licked her lips, and finally threw him a wink.
¡°Husband, am I sexy?¡±
Without saying a word, the man held her small face with his left hand, and pulled a tissue with his right to wipe the lipstick off her mouth.
¡°Don¡¯t wipe it off. I-I haven¡¯t taken a selfie yet...ummm..¡±
Chapter 258 - The most handsome husband in the world
Chapter 258 - The most handsome husband in the world
Before Ning Xiaofei¡¯s words were finished, her lips were sealed by Mu Tianye.
When he was watching her apply pink lipstick, he barely held himself back. Yet the stinky girl still has to wink, lick her lips and y sexy... How could he hold back?
He delicately kissed her inside and out and even ate the lipstick left on her lips, before releasing her with a gasp.
¡°You can only apply lipstick at home!¡±
Ning Xiaofei pursed her mouth wet from his kisses. Wearing her dresses and her lipsticks at home... Then she simply didn¡¯t have to go to work every day, and just dressed up for him at home.
Of course, she was just talking inwardly, she wouldn¡¯t really be stupid enough to say it to upset him.
¡°Okay.¡±
She didn¡¯t usually apply it anyway, but it was just the first time she had so much lipstick.
Stretching his arms to embrace her, Mu Tianye gave her a peck on the cheek.
¡°I have to attend an event on the weekend. Apany me. I will announce our rtionship to the world. By then, the gossip will be washed away.¡±
As long as the whole world knew that she was his woman, rumors and gossip would naturally go away ¨C With a husband like him, was there any need for her to be any kind of a girlfriend of Xicheng?
Ning Xiaofei immediately straightened up from his arms.
¡°No, no! This definitely won¡¯t do!¡±
If that was the case, then the whole world would know that she was Mu Tianye¡¯s wife. Even if she arrived in a new environment, she would only still be looked at differently.
¡°Why?¡±
Mu Tianye frowned. Would she rather have a scandal with Xicheng than let outsiders know that she was his wife?
¡°The reason I resigned was because of this. The whole column was gossiping about me, saying that Director Ji used my n because I¡¯m your woman; that he was kissing your ass... They didn¡¯t give a damn about my own efforts.¡±
The little girl¡¯s eyebrows were serious and her face was grievously unhappy.
He gently pulled her back andfortingly stroked her long hair.
¡°Tomorrow, I¡¯ll make all of them unemployed.¡±
¡°No!¡± Ning Xiaofei buried her face against his chest, ¡°I¡¯m going to prove to them myself that even if I don¡¯t rely on you, I can still get by, so ...¡± She turned her face and smiled ingratiatingly, ¡°Husband, let¡¯s stay hidden for a while, shall we?¡±
Mu Tianye stared at her. ¡°But, the scandal...¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about this. Xicheng has already rified our rtionship at the conference today and...¡± She reached over and brought theputer over to show him the news page earlier. ¡°Look... his official girlfriend has been revealed. The reporters will definitely ignore me from now on .¡±
Mu Tianye swept the screen with a side nce, and when he saw Judy¡¯s name, he immediately recalled that Xu Yang had mentioned that Judy wanted to invite him to dinner. His ink eyes were immediately filled with contempt.
Xicheng also fancied this sort of woman?
¡°Once this newses out, I¡¯ll soon be forgotten by the press.¡± Ning Xiaofei put down herputer and just held his arm, ¡°Then... we¡¯ll just start with our hidden marriage, okay?¡±
Mu Tianye sighed as she shook his arm.
¡°If our matteres to light, I¡¯m sure I¡¯ll be in the news again. You don¡¯t want reporters chasing me all over the ce again, right?¡±
The man deliberately didn¡¯t make a sound, so Ning Xiaofei leaned in and hugged his neck.
¡°Good husband, the most handsome husband in the whole world... Will you just promise me?¡±
nting his eyes at her adorable way of ttering and currying favor, Mu Tianye narrowed his eyes.
¡°Let¡¯s see your performance tonight, then I¡¯ll decide.¡±
.........

Chapter 259 - Sure enough, movies are all deceptive!
Chapter 259 - Sure enough, movies are all deceptive!
Ning Xiaofei immediately blushed, and let go of Mu Tianye, quickly jumping down from the sofa.
¡°What performance? AHHH, I don¡¯t understand. I¡¯m so sleepy. I¡¯ll go shower and sleep!¡±
Turning around, she ran barefoot up the stairs.
Mu Tianye straightened up, took herputer and looked at the news carefully, and went into the search page, typing in Xicheng¡¯s name.
Soon, several news items popped up. There was news about Xicheng¡¯sments announced at the press conference, and some were all about him and Judy.
Soon, several news items popped up, namely, about Xicheng¡¯s announcement at the press conference, and some were all about him and Judy.
Obviously, the attention of the press waspletely transferred to the ¡°new girlfriend¡± Judy.
ording to this trend, the reporters should soon ignore Ning Xiaofei.
Closing theputer screen, Mu Tianye got up and went upstairs.
Taking a sidelong nce at the dark bathroom, he lifted his hand to pull off his tie. He stepped towards the cloakroom, unbuttoning the cufflinks on his shirt along the way while reaching out to push the cloakroom door open.
At a nce, he saw Ning Xiaofei draped in her long hair, buttoning a shirt up. And the ck shirt that was hanging loosely down to her upper thighs was his shirt ¨C revealing two long, slim, straight legs.
She had obviously just finished taking a shower. Her hair was damp and still dripping wet, soaking the shirt all up against her skin.
The top two buttons were unfastened and casually spread apart, revealing two delicately curved corbones.
Droplets of water were on her neck and locks of wet hair were clinging to her corbones. That ck and white were distinct and pure, while her skin looked so soft and inviting in under the cozy light of the cloakroom.
It was also obvious that she wasn¡¯t wearing a bra....
Mu Tianye stared nkly, feeling a heat rising up in his abdomen...
Noticing Mu Tianye who walked in, Ning Xiaofei shyly bit her lips and stood somewhat stonily in ce.
¡°I... I forgot to buy pajamas, so I¡¯ll borrow one of your clothes... A-A-Achooo!!¡±
Before she could finish speaking, her nose itched and she sneezed uncontrobly.
Of course, she was lying.
She bought pajamas, just thefortable type, and wearing them really had nothing to do with being sexy. So when she caught sight of his shirt, she was seized by a sudden impulse of ying wear your boyfriend¡¯s shirt *** or something.
Mu Tianye snapped back to his senses and scolded her angrily.
¡°Idiot!¡±
Spring nights were cold, yet she didn¡¯t even blow her hair out of the shower. Did she want to catch a cold?
Ning Xiaofei, who had been quietly observing his reaction, was dismayed when he heard the scolding. She expected him to be pleased with her surprise, but....
It turned out that all movies were all deceptive!
Striding over to her, Mu Tianye pulled a thick nightgown over her in one smooth motion.
¡°Blow dry your hair this instant.¡±
Dropping her eyes at the thick nightgown that was wrapped tightly around her, Ning Xiaofei just pursed her lips.
In such cold weather, she tried her hardest to perform, yet ended up getting a scolding. It was aggravating to think about.
It¡¯s just for wearing his shirt for a bit, right?
Huh?
Then take it off and give it back!
She threw off the nightgown she was wearing and raised her hand to undo the buttons, but as soon as she undid one, Mu Tianye grabbed her wrist.
¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°I thought you were sick of me wearing your shirt. I¡¯ll take it off and give it back to you.¡±
Sick of her?
Mu Tianye frowned.
Dead girl, how did her brain circuit grow? I was obviously concerned about her. How did it turn into dislike?
With a sidelong nce at her loose cor, he grabbed her by the waist with one hand and strode out of the cloakroom, and threw her on the bed. He pulled the nightstand drawer open to get a remote and turned the heater on. Then he turned around to move the wet hair from her shoulders.
¡°Next time, remember to turn the air conditioning on. I can¡¯t guarantee that I¡¯ll bear it every time!¡±
Chapter 260 - Thats how easy it is to pass.
Chapter 260 - That''s how easy it is to pass.
Ning Xiaofei bit her lip, ¡°Aren¡¯t you mad at me?¡±
How could he be mad at her when she tried so hard to perform?
The manughed dumbly and stretched his fingers to move a lock of wet hair from her forehead.
¡°One point deduction for not turning on the air conditioner, full points for the rest.¡±
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s small face regained its glow, ¡°So can we keep our marriage a secret then?¡±
His fingers slid down the side of her forehead, grazed her cheeks, and fell gently to the corner of her lips. The man¡¯s inky eyes narrowed as hey on his side on the pillow.
¡°Continue!¡±
Witch, did you think you can get by that easily?
Continue?
How was she to continue?
Did he want her to take the lead?
Ning Xiaofei frowned at Mu Tianye, who was lying on the pillow. With her scalp tingling, her hand reached over to pinch the buttons of his shirt and unbuttoned them one by one.
After thest one, her gaze swept over the man¡¯s belt, in the end still didn¡¯t have the guts to move.
She crawled back in again and when her eyes shed with him, she blushed and averted her eyes, then leaned down to kiss him gently.
Every time they had kissed before, he would basically turn into a vicious wolf, and then she would just close her eyes and let him take the lead.
Unfortunately, this time, Mu Tianye let her kiss him without moving a muscle. His partly closed eyes took in her chagrined and somewhat helpless look, andughter dyed his eyes.
Although he was dying to pin her down and feast on her, he still waited patiently.
The little girl had let him bully her every time, so he was quite curious to see her passionate side.
When kissing him on mouth didn¡¯t work, Ning Xiaofei had no choice but to continue to expand her territory, following his example every time. She moved her lips down to his chin, then further down to kiss his neck, her small hands moved the same andnded on his chest, caressing him blindly.
Feeling her fingertips slipping across his skin, Mu Tianye¡¯s back tautened in an instant.
Ning Xiaofei, however, didn¡¯t feel any difference. She looked at that little red dot on someone¡¯s chest and blushingly dropped her mouth down....
In her chest, her heart was beating like thunder. She faintly heard him whisper, but didn¡¯t catch what he had said, so she raised her face in confusion.
¡°Honey, what did you say?¡±
Mu Tianye¡¯s respectable face heated up.
Nothing.
¡°I obviously heard you say something.¡±
¡°You heard wrong!¡±
The man fiercely rolled over and pressed her underneath him, and his dry lips came over and blocked hers.
Ning Xiaofeipletely lost all her senses and just closed her eyes, embracing his neck.
..........
..........
With passion receding at its peak, Ning Xiaofei felt drowsy, but still struggled.
¡°Husband, so can we keep our marriage secret?¡±
Mu Tianye took her small hand and yed with it, responding softly.
¡°Hmm.¡±
He understood where she wasing from, and had actually decided to say yes to her back downstairs, but was just teasing her on purpose.
¡°Thank you husband.¡± Ning Xiaofei closed her eyes and kissed him on the chin, suddenly remembering one more thing, ¡°Oh right... I¡¯ll have to rece Xicheng¡¯s coat! How about giving him a new one?¡±
Mu Tianye¡¯s eyes narrowed into slits.
Ning Xiaofei quickly rified, ¡°Don¡¯t get angry. I was just thinking. My husband is so rich, so how can I owe other men favors, don¡¯t you agree?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about it, I¡¯ll handle it.¡± Mu Tianye brought her fingers between her teeth and bit them gently, ¡°In the future, no mentioning men¡¯s names in bed.¡±
Reassured, Ning Xiaofei closed her eyes and leaned against his chest, smirking wickedly.
¡°I¡¯ll mention, Tianye, Tianye, Mu Tianye...¡±
Chapter 261 - The President of Fengyun International
Chapter 261 - The President of Fengyun International
While saying that, Ning Xiaofei¡¯s voice lowered.
Having barely sleptst night, and having just been tossed around a good deal by Mu Tianue, she was already exhausted by now.
She leaned against his chest and drifted off to sleep, but Mu Tianye wasn¡¯t sleepy. He pulled her palm up to his lips, his gaze falling on her slender fingers.
When they got married, they just received a marriage certificate. He didn¡¯t even show up. There was no ceremony or wedding banquet...let alone a wedding ring.
Perhaps, it was time to make her one!
Looking at Ning Xiaofei who was sleeping peacefully in his arms, he gently moved sideways, pulled open the drawer, took out a piece of notepaper, carefully measured her finger size, folded the mark and put it into the drawer. Only then did he turn off the light, embraced her and closed his eyes.
.........
........
The next day, Ning Xiaofei slept until midday.
After going downstairs to eat the lunch that Miss Liu prepared, she was just about to open herputer to look for some job information when Fengyun Media¡¯s call came, informing her to go to thepany for an interview at 2.p.m.
She was about to dial Ye Qiao¡¯s phone number to share the good news, but her call came first.
¡°Feifei, Fengyun informed me to go for an interview. Have you heard from them?¡±
¡°Me too, at 2:00 this afternoon.¡±
¡°I told you so. How can talents like us not find a job?¡± Ye Qiao spoke excitedly, ¡°Then let¡¯s meet in front of thepany at 1:30.¡±
¡°OK!¡±
Hanging up the phone, Ning Xiaofei immediately turned around and went upstairs, changed her clothes, and simply put on a light makeup ¨C she was going to an interview after all, and wanted to leave a good impression on the interviewer.
Just in case, she purposely took a wide-rimmed eyess and put it on, then walked covertly out of the neighborhood. But she noticed nothing unusual.
After a night of fermentation, the scandal between Xicheng and Judy has long been hyped up. Reporters simply had no leisure to pay attention to her. The reporters who were trying their luck near Lanting Apartment had already shifted the battlefield to block Judy on the set.
What a relief!
Ning Xiaofei sighed and stopped a taxi for a ride to Fengyun International. After meeting up with Ye Qiao, the two walked into the building together and took the elevator upstairs.
When the elevator doors were about to close tightly, Ning Xiaofei swept up someone approaching outside and busily reached out to press the open door button.
The elevator doors parted again, and a woman dressed in an elegant beige spring dress with an assistant stepped on high heels and politely walked in to the two of them with a smile, ¡°Thanks!¡±
¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Ning Xiaofei smiled in response, and she took a step back to make more room.
Ye Qiao tugged at her clothes: ¡°I overslept today, so my eyes are puffy. Feifei, my makeup isn¡¯t spent, is it?¡±
Feifei?
Upon hearing the name, the woman¡¯s gaze shifted on Ning Xiaofei. She sized her up seriously, and when her gazended on her youthful, lovely face, the corners of her lips rose slightly.
No wonder she looked somewhat familiar. If she wasn¡¯t mistaken, she should be Ning Xiaofei.
¡°Are the two of you here for an interview?¡±
¡°Yes, we¡¯re here for the interview,¡± Ning Xiaofei said.
The woman smiled at her response and extended her palm: ¡°Thank you both for your recognition of Fengyun International. I sincerely look forward to you both joining us.¡±
¡°This is the president of Fengyun International ¨C Miss Gu Yu.¡± The assistant immediately introduced on the side.
Ye Qiao¡¯s eyes widened in surprise, but Ning Xiaofei shook Gu Yu¡¯s palm without humility.
¡°Hello, President Gu Yu.¡±
Chapter 262 - Sure Enough, Temperament Is Flawless
Chapter 262 - Sure Enough, Temperament Is wless
¡°My name is Ning Xiaofei. This is my friend Ye Qiao.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
Gu Yu smiled and nodded, reaching out to shake Ye Qiao¡¯s hand again.
The elevator had already stopped on the 5th floor, so they politely bid her goodbye. Ning Xiaofei and Ye Qiao walked out of the elevator together.
¡°You two, good luck!¡±
Inside the elevator, the smile on Gu Yu¡¯s face grew stronger.
Her face was exquisite and pleasant- treating others with generosity and propriety ¨C It was really nice to see someone that her brother took a fancy to.
It wasn¡¯t until the elevator doors closed tightly and went up that Ning turned forward. Ye Qiao followed behind, still eximing in excitement.
¡°She¡¯s worthy of being the Miss of the Gu Family. Her temperament is truly wless. This is a genuine heiress.¡±
After handing over her resume yesterday, Ye Qiao fully utilized her gossipy nature and searched for news rted to Fengyun International, so she was also quite knowledgeable about Gu Yu¡¯s identity. Thus, she was also quite familiar with Gu Yu¡¯s identity.
Ning Xiaofei nodded lightly, ¡°So she¡¯s from the Gu family. That¡¯s why I was thinking that I¡¯ve heard her name somewhere.¡±
There were severalrge families in City A that newspapers and media often reported on. Ning Xiaofei had been in the news team before, and was certainly no stranger to them.
While the two chatted, they had already arrived outside the HR Department. After identifying themselves to the receptionist, they were immediately brought outside the door of the interview room.
A momentter, a staff came out and called Ye Qiao¡¯s name. Ye Qiao got up and went in for a good half hour beforeing out with a smile on her face, waving a victory gesture to Ning Xiaofei and heading to the audition room nearby.
¡°Ning Xiaofei?¡±
Hearing her name called, Ning Xiaofei walked in hurriedly.
The interviewers were a man and a woman, and after asking some basic questions, she was asked to talk about her views on modern media.
Having participated in quite a few TV scenes this year, Ning Xiaofei wasn¡¯t struck with stage fright and methodically voiced her thoughts.
¡°Ourpany is different from a TV station in that we want all of our employees to be able to stand alone, just like foreign anchors, and can aplish tasks from nning, interviews...all the way to the show. Do you have a problem with that?¡±
¡°I think I might not be good enough right now, but I¡¯m up for the challenge.¡±
Both interviewers smiled and nodded, and then the female interviewer stood up.
¡°Alright, go to the audition room and record a video. After which, we¡¯ll review it carefully and inform you of the results of your interview.¡±
By the time Ning Xiaofei arrived at the audition room, Ye Qiao had already finished her audition, and she was sent to the mock host chair to improvise a live news broadcast.
Ning Xiaofei and Ye Qiao had received broadcasting and hosting certificates at school, so news broadcasting was of course, no problem. She randomly found a piece of news she had investigated before for content, and broadcasted phically articte, with a pleasant yet distinct voice. Plus, she was born with a small face, so her visuals were also photogenic. The camera and the director nodded in satisfaction.
After recording and thanking the staff, Ning Xiaofei joined Ye Qiao outside, and left Fengyun International together.
Ning Xiaofei had just left when Gu Yu¡¯s assistant rushed to the HR Department. She collected Ning Xiaofei¡¯s interview records and delivered them to Gu Yu¡¯s desk.
Leaning on the back of the chair and looking at Ning Xiaofei¡¯s well-defined face on the screen, Gu Yu nodded her head in approval.
¡°Temperament, telegenic, resilience... all good. No wonder Xiao Han and Ji Mo both rmended her to me so strongly.¡±
¡°Then...¡± The assistant spoke inquiringly, ¡°Should I notify the HR department of the special treatment?¡±
Chapter 263 - A Flowery February Day
Chapter 263 - A Flowery February Day
¡°No need.¡± Gu Yu smiled and shook her head, ¡°The finest diamond must be cut. If a neer is ced in an important position right after she arrives at thepany, she will only make enemies. Don¡¯t reveal the fact that I¡¯ve seen this information, let her practice.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
As the assistant exited the office, Gu Yu took her phone on the table and dialed Xicheng¡¯s number.
¡°Xiao Han, it¡¯s me.¡±
¡°Sister, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°I¡¯m going to do a host contest. Do you want to be my guest of honor?¡±
¡°I¡¯m a singer, not a host.¡±
¡°So... are you refusing?¡±
¡°Do you really want me to go?¡±
Gu Yu curled her lips: ¡°Am I the kind of person who would joke about my job?¡±
¡°Then...¡± Xicheng paused for a bit: ¡°Okay.¡±
¡°Later, I¡¯ll have the staff contact Xu Yang. Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t expose your identity.¡± Gu Yu¡¯s gaze swept over Ning Xiaofei¡¯s face on the screen: ¡°Also, there¡¯s another piece of news I have for you. Ning Xiaofei will soon be my employee. I will arrange for her to participate in thispetition, and with her image and temperament... I believe she should be able to stand out.¡±
¡°Xiao Fei?¡± Xicheng¡¯s tone was tinged with surprise: ¡°She resigned?¡±
¡°I suppose so. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t havee over to my side for an interview.¡±
¡°Why?¡±
Gu Yu shrugged, ¡°You should ask her that question, right?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll hang up then.¡±
¡°Wait,¡± Gu Yu raised a hand to smooth a wisp of hair from her ear, ¡°What¡¯s this rumor about you and Judy?¡±
¡°Fake.¡±
¡°Then why have you been so careless? Dad has taken it seriously. He just called me and told me to warn you not to get into acting.¡±
¡°Then you can tell him that I will find any woman I want, and it¡¯s none of his business.¡±
¡°You!¡± Gu Yu shook her head sadly. After a moment, she spoke dotingly, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll help you exin to him that it was just a misunderstanding. But you muste home for dinner this week, do me a favor.¡±
¡°Fine,¡± Xicheng responded somewhat reluctantly.
¡°That¡¯s a good boy.¡± Gu Yu smiled. ¡°I like this Ning Xiaofei very much. Cheer up. Good girls always have many suitors. Remember to restrain your stinky temper, or else, I won¡¯t be able to help you.¡±
On the other end of the phone, Xicheng gently plucked the strings, the expression on his handsome face somewhat lost.
¡°Alright, just stay out of my way and get busy with your work.¡±
Without giving Gu Yu another chance to ask, he directly hung up the phone, raised his hand to pluck the strings, and lifted his face to look at the music score in front of him.
On the music score, there was a line with a poetic title ¨C ¡°Flowery February Sky¡±.
Footsteps lightly sounded and Xu Yang hurriedly walked in: ¡°Now the reporters have all run to the set and besieged Judy. There are no more reporters over at the Lanting Apartment. The flowers and choctes are ready. When are you going to the set?¡±
¡°Just get someone to send it there, I¡¯mzy!¡± Xicheng changed a chord and plucked twice. Still not satisfied, his hand raised and threw his pencil aside: ¡°Did you know that Ning Xiaofei resigned?¡±
Xu Yang shook his head.
Xicheng¡¯s dark eyes narrowed: ¡°Go and look into it. I want to know what the reason is.¡±
Xu Yang nodded. Just as he was about to leave, the phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out and listened to two sentences, then handed the phone to Xicheng.
¡°It¡¯s for you.¡± Xicheng raised his face unhappily. Xu Yang added quickly. ¡°It¡¯s Mr. Mu Tianye.¡±

Chapter 264 - Mu Tianye’s Invitation
Chapter 264 - Mu Tianye¡¯s Invitation
Xicheng picked the phone up and brought it to his ear.
¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
Three words, extremely arrogant.
¡°Six o¡¯clock in the evening, Jinfeng Tower, I¡¯ll be the host.¡±
Before Mu Tianye could finish everything, Xicheng immediately refused, ¡°I¡¯m very busy, I don¡¯t have time.¡±
Mu Tianye seemed to have predicted this oue: ¡°If Mr. Xicheng doesn¡¯t dare toe to my ce, then... choose where you want.¡±
Was this a provocation?
Xicheng raised his eyebrows: ¡°If Mr. Mu has something to say, so just stop beating around the bush.¡±
Mu Tianye replied slowly, ¡°Since Mr. Xicheng refuses toe, I¡¯ll send Xiaofei¡¯spensation for your stuff to your house some other day.¡±
¡°Wait.¡± Hearing Ning Xiaofei¡¯s name, Xicheng frowned: ¡°I don¡¯t need you to interfere in my and Xiaofei¡¯s affairs. 6:00, I won¡¯t see you again.¡±
Mu Tianye smiled coldly, ¡°I won¡¯t leave without seeing you.¡±
Raising his hand and throwing the phone to Xu Yang, Xicheng reached for the guitar, plucked a few times, and suddenly stood up again. He stacked the instrument back into the rack and strode out of the music room, flinging his coat onto the ground.
Xu Yang trotted after him and picked up the coat from the ground. Xicheng had already entered the gym and was hitting the sandbag hard with his right hand, which was covered in boxing gloves.
Staring at this back, Xu Yang sighed inwardly.
.......
.......
Before 6:00 in the afternoon, the driver drove Ning Xiaofei to Jinfeng Tower, and was immediately ushered to Lanxing Floor by the manager on duty, as if she were the Queen Mother.
The previously damaged room had already been refurbished, and by the window, Mu Tianye was on the phone about work matters.
Not daring to disturb him, Ning Xiaofei sat noiselessly at the table. The manager on duty immediately took one of the set of cups dedicated to Mu Tianye from the waiter¡¯s hands, carefully washed the cups, poured tea for her, and respectfully exited the door.
Zhou Tao immediately lifted a paper bag and ced it in front of Ning Xiaofei.
¡°This is what Boss prepared for you.¡±
Ning Xiaofei opened the paper bag doubtfully and took out the box inside. She flipped it open and saw that inside the box, there was a silver-gray men¡¯s trench coat. The style and texture was exactly the same as Xicheng previously. The outfit was brand new, and thebel was still hanging on it, both in Chinese and English, but it was impressively Traditional Chinese.
¡°This is... Where did you buy it?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not listed in China yet, it¡¯s bought from Hong Kong.¡± Zhou Tao exined with a smile.
Ning Xiaofei was secretly shocked.
Mu Tianye was too efficient in his work!
Right this moment, Mu Tianye finished speaking on the phone. When he turned around, he saw Ning Xiaofei and immediately made his way to the table.
¡°If you¡¯re hungry, have some snacks.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not hungry.¡± Ning Xiaofei stuffed the coat back in, and smiled at him. ¡°I have good news for you, I found a job.¡±
At 5:00, she had already received a notice from Fengyun International, asking her to go to work tomorrow, as did Ye Qiao ¨C a result that made Ning Xiaofei very happy.
Seeing how happy she was, Mu Tianye also smiled.
¡°Is it far away?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not too far. It¡¯s just half an hour by taxi.¡±
The man frowned. His experience of taking a taxist time was still fresh in his mind. In case of wind and rain or the rush hour, it was always not as convenient as driving by yourself. He was about to ask if she had a driver¡¯s license when Zhou Tao came over.
¡°Boss, Mr. Xicheng has arrived.¡±
The two turned around together, and indeed saw that the manager on duty was at the door with Xicheng. Ning Xiaofei immediately got up from her chair and greeted him with a smile.
¡°Xicheng,e in!¡±
Chapter 265 - Display of Affection
Chapter 265 - Disy of Affection
Ning Xiaofei just took two steps when she felt a tightness around her waist. Looking down, he saw Mu Tianye¡¯s arm wrapped around her slender waist.
This was the first time that Mu Tianye has been so intimate with her in front of outsiders.
Feeling the heat of a man¡¯s palm through her clothes, Ning Xiaofei¡¯s heartbeat gradually increased. Embracing Ning Xiaofei with one hand, Mu Tianye slowly extended his right hand.
¡°Wee!¡±
Looking across the palm of his hand hooked around the girl¡¯s waist, Xicheng reached out and shook his hand.
¡°I¡¯ve kept you two waiting.¡±
¡°No, we¡¯ve just arrived too.¡± Ning Xiaofei tried to pry Mu Tianye¡¯s palm open and spoke with a smile, ¡°Xicheng, take a seat!¡±
As the three took their seats respectively, Mu Tianye raised his chin, gesturing for Zhou Tao to serve the food, but his arm remained embracing Ning Xiaofei without any hint of leaving.
While the waiter was pouring tea for Xicheng, Xicheng¡¯s gaze fell on Ning Xiaofei¡¯s face worriedly.
¡°I heard that you resigned. It¡¯s not because of me, is it?¡±
¡°Of course not. I¡¯m the one who doesn¡¯t want to stay there anymore.¡± Ning Xiaofei immediately exined, ¡°Besides, I¡¯ve already found a new job.¡±
Xicheng certainly wasn¡¯t surprised. He knew about this matter even earlier than she did.
¡°Congrattions.¡±
¡°Thanks.¡± Ning Xiaofei smiled, ¡°Have some tea!¡±
When Xicheng lifted his cup and brought it to his lips for a sip, Mu Tianye withdrew his left hand from Ning¡¯s waist and helped her tuck a long strand of hair on the side of her face behind her ear, and bent slightly to the side of her ear.
¡°Don¡¯t forget the stuff.¡±
¡°Oh, right.¡± Ning Xiaofei quickly reached for the paper bag that was ced on the side. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry that I lost your coat before, but Tianye got something from Hong Kong. See if it fits.¡±
Xicheng didn¡¯t receive it and just curled his lips gently. ¡°We¡¯re friends and it¡¯s just a piece of clothing. There¡¯s no need to take it so seriously.¡±
¡°That won¡¯t work. You must take this.¡± Ning Xiaofei pushed the paper bag to his side. ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯d be too embarrassed.¡±
¡°The one who should be embarrassed should be me.¡± Xicheng gazed apologetically at her face. Looking at her nose that was still slightly swollen, the tip of his eyebrows wrinkled up again, ¡°I¡¯ve caused you so much trouble. ¡°
Ning Xiaofei still wanted to argue, but Mu Tianye had already picked up the conversation, ¡°Since Mr. Xicheng also knows about it, please watch your steps from now on and don¡¯t give her any more trouble.¡±
Ning Xiaofei immediately shook his arm under the table, indicating him not to speak more of it. Then she hurriedly tried to smooth things over, ¡°I¡¯m so hungry, let¡¯s eat! Xicheng, don¡¯t be polite. Here, try this.¡±
She twiddled her chopsticks, served Xicheng a chop of food, and in passing, grabbed one of her favorites, a sweet-fried hawthorn.
Damned girl, she gave Xicheng a dish, yet ignored him!
Mu Tianye reached out and pinched her waist.
When Ning Xiaofei turned to him, she saw the man¡¯s thin lips partly open and his gaze was fixated on the hawthorn between her chopsticks.
Surprisingly, a grown man like him liked to eat something like it. Though surprised, she still sent the food to his mouth obediently.
Mu Tianye ate it in one bite, biting hard.
It¡¯s so sour!
What rotten food!
When he looked up and met Xicheng¡¯s gaze, he immediately loosened his frown to look like he was enjoying it.
¡°Delicious.¡±
How was Ning Xiaofei supposed to know that the man¡¯s teeth were getting sour? She thought he really loved it, so she immediately served another one on his te.
¡°I loved to eat this when I was a kid. Every time Mom finished making it, I ate it all without waiting for it to cool down, until my teeth ended up being sour. I couldn¡¯t chew my rice so I could only eat porridge.¡±
Chapter 266 - Tense Situation
Chapter 266 - Tense Situation
Xicheng chuckled softly, ¡°I also did once down south. That was the first time I saw a Chinese bayberry tree, I ate a lot until I felt like my teeth fell.¡±
Mu Tianye interjected lightly, ¡°From what I know, fruit flies love toy eggs on bayberry fruit, Mr. Xicheng must have eaten a lot of bayberry insects.¡±
Ning Xiaofei had just clipped a hawthorn to her mouth, and almost choked the pulp down her throat upon hearing this.
This guy really...He just had to touch someone¡¯s sore spot. Was he deliberately trying to disgust others?
Ning Xiaofei quickly rose and poured a ss of wine for Xicheng. ¡°This is plum wine, try it, it¡¯s good.¡±
¡°Mr. Mu might not know,¡± Xicheng slowly brought over the ss, ¡°Bayberry insects are high quality protein. Not only are they non-toxic, they also have antimicrobial peptides.¡±
¡°Mr. Xicheng¡¯s taste is really heavy, but I just can¡¯t swallow this antimicrobial peptide.¡±
....
The two exchanged tit for tat, refusing to show any weakness. Ning Xiaofei on the other hand felt bitter. She tried to persuade her left and right to no avail, until her patience was thoroughly worn out and shouted for them to stop.
Bayberry bugs turned into fruit flies, were they going to let her eat or not?
Both men turned their faces to her at the same time, so she held up her ss.
¡°Here, I...I¡¯ll toast you! Let¡¯s not dig deeper into this bayberry talk, shall we?¡±
They both took their sses at the same time and clinked them with her, then both drained them in one gulp. Ning Xiaofei retrieved her cup to drink as well, but before she could take a sip, Mu Tianye pinched her ss.
¡°You can¡¯t drink, drink less, I¡¯ll apany Mr. Xicheng.¡±
With that, he raised his hand and chugged down what remained in her ss of wine.
¡°That¡¯s unfair for Mr. Mu.¡±
Xicheng raised his ss and the waiter hurriedly poured wine for him. He too tilted his neck and downed it.
Thus, one cup for one, one cup for the other...
From bickering to wine fighting.
Before Ning Xiaofei had even taken two bites of food, a bottle of plum, the two had already consumed a bottle of wine.
¡°Zhou Tao, bring over a bottle of my Maotai collection.¡±
It was only because of Ning Xiaofei¡¯s low alcohol tolerance that he had arranged for this sour and sweet plum wine with a low degree of alcohol. It was suitable fordies. But since someone was going to fight with him, he naturally had to bring some real wine for it to count.
Ning Xiaofei immediately frowned, ¡°That alcohol level is too high, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s only 43%.¡± Mu Tianye replied lighty. ¡°If Mr. Xicheng can¡¯t drink such a strong drink, shall we change it then?¡±
Xicheng smiled, ¡°Mr. Mu has specially prepared wine, why shouldn¡¯t I taste it?¡±
Two men sat across the table with faces clear and rxed, but every word they uttered was armed with guns and clubs, filled with tension.
Once the bottle of Maotai was on the table, they didn¡¯t say much, just looked askance at each other, and drank it dry.
Ning Xiaofei tugged at Mu Tianye¡¯s sleeve and said, ¡°Drink less.¡±
¡°It¡¯s rare to have Mr. Xicheng¡¯spany, so of course I have to drink to my heart¡¯s content with my guest.¡±
Ning Xiaofei turned towards Xicheng: ¡°Xicheng, drink less as well.¡±
¡°A guest should suit the convenience of the host, I can¡¯t brush of Mr. Mu¡¯s good intentions.¡±
¡ª-
Ning Xiaofei failed to persuade after a few tries. Seeing that they were going to rece their wine cups with porcin bowls, she felt angry and helpless.
¡°Fine, I¡¯ll drink with you too!¡±
After saying that, Ning Xiaofei snatched the Maotai bottle from the waiter, and filled her ss to the brim.
Mu Tianye stretched his hand and grabbed her ss, handing it to Zhou Tao.
¡°Don¡¯t drink, eat.¡±
Then he took the initiative to serve her food.
Xicheng also realized his own gaffe and picked his chopsticks up, ¡°I had heard that the chef in Jinfeng Tower is a disciple of the Pce¡¯s Imperial Chef. Let me have a taste of his craft today too!¡±
Chapter 267 - This girl is taken. Men, stay away.
Chapter 267 - This girl is taken. Men, stay away.
Seeing that both men had put down their sses, Ning Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief and sat again.
Both men ate obediently, no more deadly jabs.
Halfway through the meal, Ning Xiaofei got up to go to the restroom. Because of Xicheng, she was too embarrassed to go to the private restroom, so she turned around and went outside.
As soon as she left, the harmonious atmosphere in the room immediately disappeared.
Mu Tianye¡¯s face turned gloomy and he put down his chopsticks.
¡°While Xiaofei is away, let me warn Mr. Xicheng.¡± He received the hot towel brought over by the waiter on the side to wipe his fingers and raised his hand, throwing the towel back into Xiao Zhn, the waiter¡¯s hands. His pitch-ck eyes fell deeply on Xicheng¡¯s face, his tone cial: ¡°Stay away from my woman. There won¡¯t be another scandal!¡±
Xu Yang and Zhou Tao, who were standing beside them, were all ears.
¡°Hmph!¡± Xicheng snorted, snapping his chopsticks heavily on the chopstick holder: ¡°She¡¯s not your personal belonging. She¡¯s a human being and has the right to make friends. As her friend, I have to remind Mr. Mu as well.¡±
Xicheng¡¯s eyes narrowed into slits as they shed with Mu Tianye¡¯s gaze, his tone disdainful.
¡°If you hurt her again, I won¡¯t let you off the hook.¡±
¡°It¡¯s true that she¡¯s not my personal belonging. She¡¯s my wife.¡± Mu Tianye sneered, ¡°As her husband, I have the right to remind those men who have ill intentions towards my wife to stay back in time so as not to... regret it for the rest of their lives!¡±
What scandal, what Judy, what booked a hotel room...
If Judy had a boyfriend like him, would shee to suck up to him, Mu Tianye?
With Xicheng¡¯s abilities, he could have found a love nest. Why would he need a random hotel room?
...............
He might have deceived the press, his fans and Ning Xiaofei, but deceiving him? Huh, he was still tender!
What friends, what friendships...
He was a man. He knew best what men were thinking, and from the time he had seen Xicheng targeting Ning Xiaofei on TV, he knew that this man had no good intentions towards his wife.
This time, he deliberately invited Xicheng over. Mu Tianye wanted to warn him that Ning Xiaofei had a master and let him die that way.
Xicheng was stunned.
For the rtionship between Ning Xiaofei and Mu Tianye, he had also asked Xu Yang to check and knew that their rtionship was ambiguous, but he had never thought that they were already married.
However, why hadn¡¯t he heard the news?
And even if he was married, so what? That was no reason for his domestic violence.
Xicheng still had to open his mouth, but Ning Xiaofei had already pushed the door open.
¡°Excuse me!¡± She smiled and returned to the table, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you eating? You¡¯re not waiting for me, are you?¡±
Mu Tianye stood up and reached out to take her into his arms. He lowered his head beside hers and said, ¡°Honey, my stomach hurts a bit and I¡¯m a little dizzy. Let¡¯s go home, shall we?¡±
Ning Xiaofei quickly held his arm, and frowned: ¡°I told you to cut down on the drinking, but you didn¡¯t listen...¡± She looked at Xicheng and apologized, ¡°Xicheng, I¡¯m sorry, uhm... we¡¯ll go back first, Zhou Tao, entertain Mr. Xicheng.¡±
¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xicheng also stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll stay a while longer and leave.¡±
¡°Are you okay?¡± Ning Xiaofei asked with concern.
Xicheng smiled back at her, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
Mu Tianye looked sideways and embraced Ning Xiaofei¡¯s thin waist, as a victorious general nting his banner on the city wall.
¡°Mr. Xicheng, excuse us!¡±
Chapter 268 - A heartless man
Chapter 268 - A heartless man
Ning Xiaofei just nodded to Xicheng and Xu Yang: ¡°Goodbye.¡±
¡°Bye.¡± Xu Yang quickly responded.
Ning Xiaofei helped Mu Tianye downstairs, while Zhou Tao stayed indoors and walked to the table. ¡°Mr. Xicheng, uhm... would you like some more food and wine?¡±
¡°Forget it!¡±
Xicheng grabbed the ss on the table, slowly downed the wine into his throat, put it down and stood up.
Xu Yang was worried that he had drank too much, so he walked quickly to support his arm. Zhou Tao took the paper bag by the table.
¡°Mr. Xicheng, your coat.¡±
Xicheng swept Zhou Tao with a side nce and extended his palm to Xu Yang, who immediately fumbled for a wad of cash from his body and ced it on the table.
¡°This is my share for tonight¡¯s meal. Consider the extra as a tip.¡± Xicheng stuffed his hands in his pockets and arrogantly said, ¡°Tell Mu Tianye, what I want to do and whom I want to contact ¨C it¡¯s none of his business!¡±
After saying that, he strode out of the Lanxing room.
Zhou Tao stepped forward to follow him, but Xu Yang immediately blocked him, ¡°Assistant Zhou, stay back!¡±
Zhou Tao stopped at the door and the manager on duty hurriedly walked up behind him, ¡°Assistant Zhou, what about the money?¡±
¡°Just enter it directly into the ount. There¡¯s no need to tell Mr. Mu this.¡± Zhou Tao smoothly handed him the paper bag in his hand. ¡°Take this coat back and give it to someone, don¡¯t waste it!¡±
Looking at the people in the room, Zhou Tao spoke softly, ¡°Just now, you heard nothing of what Mr. Xicheng said and did, understand?!¡±
ording to that master¡¯s temper, if he knew what Xicheng did, he might make trouble again. Now that the matter had been rified, Zhou Tao didn¡¯t want this matter to get out of hands again.
¡°Yes, Assistant Zhou!¡± Everyone chorused.
.......
.......
A car was galloping forward.
Xu Yang quietly raised his face and nced at the rearview mirror. From his angle, he could clearly see the picture on the back seat.
Behind, Xicheng¡¯s handsome face was hidden in the dim light, so his expression was obscure.
No woman had ever tempted him and the only time someone did, he found out that she was married. He could imagine how he felt.
Xu Yang wanted to speak, but didn¡¯t know how tofort him, so he could only sigh softly in his heart.
After a long silence, Xicheng¡¯s voice resounded.
¡°Check what¡¯s going on.¡±
¡°What do you mean?¡±
¡°Why are they married.¡±
This was too abnormal.
Based on Mu Tianye¡¯s status, if they really had to get married, it definitely would be reported to the outside world. Even if he has always kept a low profile, it was impossible that even a bit of news wasn¡¯t leaked about it. They were in the same city and he had been paying close attention to Mu Tianye, so it was impossible that he had never caught wind of it.
Ning Xiaofei was so young, and she didn¡¯t seem at the right age to get married.
Xu Yang hesitated for a moment before replying, ¡°Sir, I know it¡¯s unpleasant of me to say this, but... won¡¯t this badly affect Miss Ning? I can tell that Mr. Mu loves Miss Ning very much. Miss Ning...¡±
¡°Love?¡± On the back seat, Xicheng sneered, ¡°That¡¯s because you don¡¯t know him. That man has no heart. How can a heartless man love someone else?!¡±
¡°But...¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t ask for your opinion,¡± Xicheng cut him off coldly, ¡°I just want to know the truth.¡±
If they were truly in love, he would naturally back off.
But that person...would he love someone?
He didn¡¯t believe it!
If Mu Tianye had ulterior motives for Ning Xiaofei, he would never let Mu Tianye ruin another good woman.
Chapter 269 - Im really drunk.
Chapter 269 - I''m really drunk.
The ck Mercedes Benz slowly drove towards Lanting apartment. On the back seat, Ning Xiaofei held Mu Tianye¡¯s arm with one hand, still softly admonishing.
¡°I¡¯ve told you to drink less wine, but you just don¡¯t listen...¡± The palm of her hand helped him rub his stomach, frowning, her tone unhappy and distressed. ¡°You haven¡¯t even had a few spoons of rice. How can your stomach feel good? And you just had to drink Maotai with others...¡±
The driver frowned when he heard her. He quietly raised his face and nced at Mu Tianye, bracing himself from the man losing his temper.
However...
Mu Tianye merely curled his lips.
¡°You¡¯re stillughing!¡± Ning Xiaofei withdrew her palm from his stomach. ¡°I don¡¯t think you¡¯re ufortable, whatever!¡±
Mu Tianye didn¡¯t make a sound, just raised his right hand against his stomach.
Speaking of which, he really wasn¡¯t faking it. He wasn¡¯t dizzy, but his stomach was indeed a bit upset.
In those early years of hard work, he had no time to eat, and his stomach had been tortured.
He already felt a bit sick after swallowing one sour hawthorn. Moreover, after not eating food and drinking so much wine, his stomach was already aching.
Noticing his movements out of the corner of her eye, Ning Xiaofei faced him again with concern.
¡°Do you want to... go to the hospital?¡±
Mu Tianye nced sideways and met her concerned big dark eyes. With one big hand, he hugged her, burying the side of his face into her nape, sniffing the sweet, peachy scent of her body and dozing off.
¡°No, there¡¯s medicine at home.¡±
His illness was an old one. Going to the hospital wouldn¡¯t help. After tossing and turning, in the end, the doctor¡¯s advice would be nothing more than a clich¨¦: quit smoking and drinking; take care of himself and other such nonsense.
Ning Xiaofei frowned and stretched out her small hand to cover his stomach again.
In fact, her massage waspletely pointless and made him a little ufortable, but he didn¡¯t push her hand away ¨C She was being kind, and he didn¡¯t want to refuse.
After the car parked at the apartmentplex, the driver got out and pulled the door open. Ning Xiaofei quickly jumped out of the car and ran to the other side to hold Mu Tianye¡¯s arm. Seeing how nervous she was, the man smiled.
¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
¡°Your face is white, and you still say you¡¯re fine.¡±
Ning Xiaofei held his arm tightly, but she was shorter than him, so she had to lift his arm up onto her shoulder and share his weight.
Walking in this manner was a bit awkward for Mu Tianye. Her shoulders were too slim, and her bones pressed him to the point of pain, but he didn¡¯t push her away and let herbor all the way.
Back at their apartment, Ning Xiaofei helped him upstairs andy down on the pillow. She immediately turned around and ran downstairs, found the stomach medicine from themonly used medicine and ran up. Seeing that Mu Tianye was up to undress, she rushed to him and held his arm.
¡°Who told you to get down? Lie down!¡±
As she spoke, she dragged him back to the bed without second thoughts. She fetched a ss of warm water, read the instructions and brought a pill to his mouth.
The man leaned back on the pillow, squinting his pitch-ck eyes at the small, pratingly anxious face in front of him, inexplicably wanting tough.
¡°You¡¯re stillughing, you really must be drunk!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not drunk.¡±
¡°Yes, you are not drunk, I am!¡±
The man still wanted to argue, but she reached out with her hand and shoved the medicine directly into his mouth, then brought the ss to his mouth.
She watched Mu Tianye swallow the pill, put down the ss and got up, tucking him in with the nket covering him tightly.
Mu Tianye was a bit speechless ¨C he had a stomach ache not a fever. Wouldn¡¯t he burn to death like this?
Chapter 270 - Are you in love with me?
Chapter 270 - Are you in love with me?
Seeing that he would lift the nket, Ning Xiaofei immediately reached out and pressed the corner of the nket, and said fiercely, ¡°Lie quietly and don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll make some porridge for you. Do you hear me?¡±
The man frowned.
Stinky girl, yelling at him again!
¡°Did you hear that?¡±
She raised her voice.
Mu Tianye¡¯s brows furrowed for a moment, then stretched, the corners of his eyes slowly rising.
¡°Okay.¡±
Only then did Ning Xiaofei turn away, hurriedly ran downstairs, rummaged through the fridge and cupboards, but couldn¡¯t find rice.
She frowned, turned and ran out. She swept a nce at the wine rack and grabbed the half-drunk wine bottle. She emptied the wine inside and added hot water to it, corked the bottle again, wrapped it in a towel and carried it upstairs. She uncovered the nket and stuffed it into his stomach.
Turning around, she pulled the trash can, ced paper towels, and the water cups on his side of the nightstand. Finally, she took the phone from her coat.
¡°Just throw up if you want. I¡¯lle back and clean it up. Call me if you need anything, I¡¯ll be right back.¡±
When she finished, she turned and ran again.
¡°Where are you going?¡±
¡°Never you mind. Anyway, just lie there and don¡¯t move!¡±
Her voice rang outside the door, some distance away. Obviously, she had gone downstairs.
On the pillow, Mu Tianye opened the quilt and looked at the wine bottle in his arms which he had only drunk one ss after opening it. Presumably, Ning Xiaofei had dumped the red wine straight down and now it contained hot water to help warm his stomach. He was dumbfounded. If his friend who¡¯d given him the wine knew that the good wine he¡¯d kept for years was poured out of the bottle and was being used as a hot pack, he¡¯d be furious.
More than half an hourter, Ning Xiaofei, who was sweating profusely, raced back upstairs with a box of rice porridge in her arms.
She originally wanted to buy some rice back, but the supermarket was closed, so she circled around the neighborhood before buying this leftover porridge from a snack shop that was about to close.
Opening the lid, she used a spoon for a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Mu Tianye¡¯s mouth.
¡°Have some hot porridge and get some sleep.¡±
She¡¯d been trotting the whole journey, so she panted while she spoke. Her face was flushed with a thinyer of sweat on her forehead. Probably from wiping her face with her hands on the way, her delicate makeup has long since became a colorful cat. Her hair had also run wild and strands were sticking to the sides of her face...
She was definitely not that exquisite and beautiful, but Mu Tianye couldn¡¯t help feeling disoriented.
¡°What are you staring at? Eat, it will get coldter.¡±
The man opened his mouth and swallowed the porridge from the disposable spoon in her hand.
Noticing the man¡¯s eyes staring at the disposable stic bowl in her hand, Ning Xiaofei couldn¡¯t help but feel a little apologetic.
¡°The supermarket is closed, so I didn¡¯t buy any rice. I¡¯ll call Ms. Liu tomorrow morning and ask her to bring some over. You¡¯ll just have to make do tonight... This kind of porridge cooked in a big pot is the worst, but easy to digest...¡±
¡°What¡¯s the point of getting angry like this in the future, when you end up hurting yourself?¡±
¡°Xicheng has a girlfriend doesn¡¯t mean anything to me.¡±
¡°You, ah...are just a big jealous man. You¡¯re such a grown up, but...so childish!¡±
........
While feeding him the porridge, she scolded.
The man, who was always foul-tempered, just quietly ate the porridge, without a word of rebuttal, but ate the bowl of leftover porridge cleanly.
Afraid that he hadn¡¯t eaten enough, Ning Xiaofei looked at the empty bowl in her hand, which she had scraped clean.
¡°How about...I¡¯ll make you something else to eat?¡±
¡°Ning Xiaofei.¡± Mu Tianye didn¡¯t answer her question, but gazed up into the girl¡¯srge, dark eyes, ¡°Are you in love with me?¡±
The question came so abruptly that Ning Xiaofei froze.
Chapter 271 - Always be with him…
Chapter 271 - Always be with him¡
¡°I... ¡± Ning Xiaofei panicked and dropped her eyes to avoid Mu Tianye¡¯s eyes. Then she scrambled to gather up the box lids and stic bags on the table. ¡°I¡¯ll go cook some more noodles for you.¡±
She rushed all the way to the door and pulled it open, and turned around to add another sentence.
¡°Just lie still.¡±
Watching her flee with the door unlocked, Mu Tianye raised his hand to rub his chin.
He was probably too direct, right?
Right, girls were usually more reserved. It would have been weird if she wasn¡¯t scared away when he asked such a question.
With his palm gently caressing the warm wine bottle beneath the nket, the man¡¯s gaze slowly skimmed over all that Ning Xiaofei had prepared for him everywhere...
She must have cared about him, or else why would she be so nice to him?
Raising his hand to support his head, Mu Tianye nced sideways at the empty pillow at his side, and the corners of his lips lifted.
In the future, having such a little creature with him all the time...
Life should be so much more interesting!
........
........
Downstairs.
Ning fled all the way into the kitchen, turned around to close the door and listened with her ears stuck on the door. Sure that the man hadn¡¯t chased her down the stairs to ask her for answers, she heaved a sigh of relief. She slowly walked over to the trash can and tossed the trash in her hands.
She picked some vegetables and ingredients from the fridge and turned on the faucet to wash them, his voice reverberating through her mind once again.
Love him?
She¡¯d never thought of that.
The water rushed down, but she was lost in thought with a vegetable in her hand.
When he misunderstood her, she was afraid he would be upset. When he was ufortable she would be distressed, and she didn¡¯t resent his closeness...
For him, she definitely likes him!
But was it love?
No!
Ning Xiaofei shook her head.
She would never fall in love with anyone, and she didn¡¯t want to.
Back then, Mom loved that person so much and gave up everything for him... But in the end, what happened?
Love was too bitter, and liking him was enough.
That way... someday when he got tired of her, she wouldn¡¯t get hurt or heartbroken, and wouldn¡¯t shed tears at the thought of a man like her mother did.
With this thought, Ning Xiaofei was enlightened and continued to seriously wash and cut the vegetables...
She bent over to sniff the aroma, raised her lips in satisfaction, took a tray and brought the bowl up to him. She carefully carried it out of the kitchen and up the stairs to the door of the master bedroom, where she stopped again.
How should she answer in case that guy asked her again?
Say she loved him?
Against her will.
Say she didn¡¯t?
He would definitely be upset.
Wondering how to respond, she gently pushed the flimsy door open and peered inside.
On the pillow, Mu Tianye was dozing off, his expression rxed, and he was already asleep.
Ning Xiaofei was so relieved that she didn¡¯t disturb his rest. She turned around and gently went downstairs, cing the noodles on the table as she sat down at the table.
Mulling over his question, her mind was troubled again.
If he asked again, how would she answer?
She scratched her hair and she shook her head.
It was just a whim, and he might forget about it in the morning. She hadn¡¯t had much dinner and served him patronizingly that her stomach was already beginning to protest, so she ate first.
.....
.....
That night, Mu Tianye slept extremely soundly. The man whose biological clock has always been punctual remained in bedte.
When he woke up, it was already past eight o¡¯clock in the morning. The side of the pillow was empty and no one was there. He dressed himself and went downstairs, saw Ms. Liuing out of the kitchen.
Chapter 272 - How to satisfy the little goblin
Chapter 272 - How to satisfy the little goblin
¡°Good morning, young master! Youngdy made your breakfast herself. It¡¯s warming up in the pot. Are you going to eat now?¡±
¡°Where is she?¡±
¡°She went to work.¡±
Mu Tianye looked at the wall clock, his brow furrowing ¨C he actually slept in.
¡°Get the breakfast ready, I¡¯ll be right down.¡±
He returned upstairs and briefly washed up, changed his clothes and went downstairs. After eating his breakfast, he left.
¡°Young Master.¡± Ms. Liu chased after him and gave him a small medicine box. ¡°Young Miss instructed me to tell you to take this medicine three times a day, half an hour after meals. You must not forget it.¡±
Mu Tianye took the medicine box from her, and saw a post-it note stuck to it.
¡°Remember to take your medicine, be a good boy!¡±
He wasn¡¯t a kid, what good boy!
The man raised a brow, tore the note off, and stuffed the pill box into his suit pocket. He strode towards the door, holding the note in his left hand. He crumpled it into a ball, but then unfolded it again. He seriously folded the paper and stuffed it into his pocket.
When he went downstairs, the driver who jumped out of the car opened the door for him. Mu Tianye said unhappily. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you call me?¡±
He had a meeting at nine o¡¯clock, and with such a dy, his scheduled work time was all messed up.
¡°Young Miss called to say you needed more sleep.¡± The driver was confused when he was scolded. ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell her to call?¡±
¡°This Ning Xiaofei!¡±
The man raised an eyebrow and dwarfed into the backseat. The driver closed the door right after and started the car.
After driving a distance away from themunity, Ning Xiaofei called him again, asking how he was doing, and urging him not to forget to take his medicine.
¡°I¡¯m fine... I don¡¯t hurt anymore... really... um... bye. ¡°
After ending the call, Mu Tianye grumbled.
¡°Women are really long-winded.¡±
Ms. Liu has obviously informed him already, yet she had to specially call to remind him. Did she think he was like her, so forgetful?
The driver of the car secretlyughed. He dismissed someone¡¯s nagging, yet he was obviously happy!
On the other end of the phone, knowing that his stomach hurt no longer, Ning Xiaofei put her mind at ease. She stuffed her phone into her backpack and walked into the elevator with Ye Qiao.
Beside her, Ye Qiao gently elbowed her and teasingly whispered in her ear: ¡°You¡¯re really like glue. You just came down from someone¡¯s bed and it¡¯s not even two hours, yet you¡¯re already thinking of him again?¡±
¡°What?¡± Ning Xiaofei returned with a nk stare. ¡°He drank too much yesterday and he had a stomach ache.¡±
Ye Qiao just nervously pulled on her arm. ¡°Is that so? Then he should drink some tonic, there are ck goji berries, wild ginseng, deer antler...¡±
Ning Xiaofei immediately asked seriously, ¡°Are these stomach tonics? Should I go to the pharmacy or the mall to buy them?¡±
Ye Qiao guffawed. ¡°I don¡¯t know if it nourishes the stomach or not, but it sure can invigorate the kidneys. Otherwise, how can he satisfy you, little goblin?¡±
Ning Xiaofei blushed and reached out to whack her, so Ye Qiao quickened her pace and escaped from the elevator. Fearing that Ning Xiaofei would catch up with her, she rushed past several people all the way through the corridor. It just so happened that there was a woman holding a document out of the office. It was toote for Ye Qiao to avoid her, thus they bumped into each other.
¡°Sorry.¡± She immediately poured out apologies and bent down to pick up the paperwork that had been knocked out of her hands. She sorted them out and handed it to her. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, I didn¡¯t hurt you, did I?¡±
In response to her apology, the woman merely took the document coldly.
¡°Ye Qiao, Ning Xiaofei...long time no see!¡±
Mini Theater:
Ning Xiaofei: Hubby, look at the man, he even cooks asionally. When are you going to cook something delicious for me?
Mu Tianye: Now.
Then the man stood up and pulled off his tie, heading straight for the bathroom.
Shouldn¡¯t cooking be done in the kitchen?
Ning Xiaofei was in a fog: Honey, that¡¯s the bathroom.
Mu Tianye: I¡¯ll wash the ingredients first.
Chapter 273 - Brokerage Contract
Chapter 273 - Brokerage Contract
Ning Xiaofei and Ye Qiao looked up at the same time, looking at the tall girl standing in front of the door wearing a new spring dress collection with exquisite makeup, and long, wavy hair.
Ye Qiao then sneered through gritted teeth.
¡°Look who it is. Isn¡¯t this the Mi Zhou (congee)? What, you couldn¡¯t make it in Europe and you¡¯re back to scourge the mothend?¡±
Ning Xiaofei also recognized the girl.
This girl was a little older than her and Ye Qiao, Zhou Mingyu. She was also an alumni of the media school, two years above Ning Xiaofei and Ye Qiao.
Because she thought her name was too rustic, she gave herself the English name ¡°Miranda.¡± She would always introduce herself as Miranda Zhou, and Ye Qiao dubbed her ¡°Mi Zhou¡±.
The year they entered the school, Pei Ruoxi graduated and Miranda finally got the chance topete for the anchorwoman position.
At that time, Miranda was also a celebrity in the school. Other girls who knew that she signed up all quit, knowing that she would be the winner, but the new freshman Ye Qiao, who knew nothing about her, signed up. Once Miranda found out, she taunted her in the cafeteria.
With a gnawing pique and an unyielding determination to lose, Ye Qiao and Ning Xiaofei worked together to make a news clip. The whole school voted and they won over Miranda¡¯s team by a margin of more than a hundred votes. A freshman knocking out a third year old student became the talk at school at that time. Thus, she had a falling out with Miranda.
Miranda didn¡¯t stop picking on them after that, and it wasn¡¯t until she went to study in Europe that the matter came to an end.
Miranda¡¯s face darkened. She was about to retort...
When in the corridor, the male interviewer from yesterday approached.
¡°Ye Qiao, Ning Xiaofei... You¡¯re also here Miranda. Perfect timing, the three of you,e with me!¡±
The retort that reached Mn¡¯s lips had to be swallowed hard. She nced sideways at Ye Qiao and Ning Xiaofei and quickened her pace to catch up to that interviewer¡¯s side. ¡°Director Shen, they... are they also working in ourpany?¡±
¡°Oh, I forgot to introduce the three of you.¡± The interviewer, Director Shen stopped. ¡°These are the neers in our production department, Ning Xiaofei and Ye Qiao. Miranda is an old employee of ourpany. In the future, you¡¯ll be working in the same department, so you must work together sincerely. Ms. Gu is still waiting for us, let¡¯s go upstairs.¡±
It never urred to them that after so many detours, they met an old enemy and would be working together in the samepany.
Ning Xiaofei and Ye Qiao exchanged nces and gave each other a knowing look. Miranda red at them behind tworge contact lenses and took a few quick steps to help Director Shen press the elevator open.
¡°Director Shen, please!¡±
Ning Xiaofei and Ye Qiao then followed, Ye Qiao silently cursing her for her brown nosing.
A momentter, the elevator stopped at the 15th floor. Director Shen brought them outside the president¡¯s office. Gu Yu¡¯s assistant immediately weed them with a smile and ushered them into the small conference room.
Right after, Gu Yu walked in with a smile.
¡°Take a seat!¡± Gu Yu waved her hand, indicating them take their seats. She surveyed the three, her gaze pausing on Ning Xiaofei¡¯s face for a few seconds. ¡°I¡¯ve specially invited the three of you up here because the board of directors and I personally think highly of your talents. After some deliberation, we¡¯ve decided to make three of you our first candidates for moderator training.
With a flick of her chin, the assistant ced three documents in front of the three. The first page of the documents had two highlighted words ¨C Brokerage Contract.
Chapter 274 - Bound To The Tree - Fengyun International
Chapter 274 - Bound To The Tree - Fengyun International
As the three flipped through the documents in front of them, Gu Yu¡¯s assistant discussed the contents of the agreement to them.
¡°This is a separate brokerage contract between thepany and the three of you. After signing this agreement, you will be contracted hosts of thepany, and thepany will be responsible for your future publicity, packaging, positioning, and all other rted matters. Of course, in order to protect the interests of thepany, we also ask the three of you to fully ept our arrangements. Everyone take a closer look, and if you have any objections, you can raise them now.¡±
The three continued flipping through the agreement at the same time. Ye Qiao casually browsed it and took the pen ready to sign, but Ning Xiaofei quickly pulled her arm below the table.
She had just read the contract, and the conditions of the contract were quite superior, but it stated that within five years, all of their work would be arranged by Fengyun International.
Once this contract was signed, it could be equivalent to signing a contract of sale. Within five years, they would only be tied to the tree- Fengyun International.
¡°Does Miss Ning have any objections?¡± Gu Yu asked with a smile.
¡°I just think that five years is too long and...¡±
¡°Ning Xiaofei.¡± The moment she spoke, Miranda cut in. ¡°Thepany is investing money in you to get a return. Could it be that you want to jump off the bandwagon right after thepany has groomed you?¡±
Ye Qiao immediately retorted, ¡°Miranda, can you let people finish what they have to say?¡±
¡°Ahem!¡± Ning Xiaofei coughed. ¡°Naturally these are beyond reproach. Thepany has trained us and it¡¯s only right to give something in return, but if thepany¡¯s position and decisions conflict with our personal opinions, must we also be obliged to service thepany¡¯s arrangements?¡±
¡°The contract is meant to govern both parties. Of course, it¡¯s not without room for changes.¡± Gu Yu remained as gentle as ever. ¡°If there is a conflict between thepany and the individual in this regard, we can negotiate a settlement. Isn¡¯t that stated in the contract?¡±
Ning Xiaofei shook her head. ¡°I didn¡¯t see the corresponding terms.¡±
The assistant shook her head lightly when Gu Yu gave her a sidelong nce. Gu Yu took the contract and flipped through it carefully.
¡°It is indeed thepany¡¯s negligence. Add the one that Xiaofei just mentioned.¡±
Her order made everyone inwardly surprised, especially Ning Xiaofei.
She initially thought she¡¯d offend Gu Yu by being outspoken, but surprisingly, she was so open-minded.
Meeting Gu Yu¡¯s smiling gaze, she smiled back gratefully. Her recognition and respect for this elegant and beautiful woman deepened anew.
The assistant turned theputer on and added a note to the document. She reprinted it and handed it to the three.
¡°Now, do any of you still have any objections?¡±
As she asked this, Gu Yu looked at Ning Xiaofei, clearly waiting for her answer.
Apany¡¯s leader also represented apany¡¯s business philosophy. Gu Yu¡¯s performance was outstanding, so she has a bit more trust in thepany.
¡°No more.¡±
Smiling at her, Ning Xiaofei immediately took a pen and signed her name at the end, with Ye Qiao and Miranda both quickly signing their names as well.
This opportunity was very rare for a neer, and none of them wanted to miss it.
¡°The next work arrangements will be left to Director Shen.¡± Gu Yu gracefully rose from her chair, her gaze gentle with the style of a superior. ¡°As thepany¡¯s first batch of contracted hosts, the three of you must work hard to live up to thepany¡¯s expectations of you.¡±
Chapter 275 - A path to success
Chapter 275 - A path to sess
After Gu Yu got up and left, Director Shen exined the next work arrangements to the three.
¡°Your backgrounds were sent to the organizingmittee of the ¡®First Anchor¡¯petition yesterday. With your strength, you will definitely have no problem passing the audition. In the next few days, you should prepare well for thepetition. Thepany will do its best to help to get you to the finals and all the way to the top.¡±
The First Anchor was a hostpetition jointly held by Fengyun International and several television stations, aiming to create an all-round host. Ning Xiaofei had of course heard of it, but only because she was serving in a television station at that time. She was so busy every day that she didn¡¯t have the time to sign up.
Ning Xiaofei sighed when she heard this.
They were indeed worthy of being a privatepany. Their way of doing things was much more effective than a television station. She and Ye Qiao had juste for an interview yesterday, and they had already signed them up.
Then, Director Shen carefully broke down the rules of thepetition in detail.
¡°There are still two days left before the application deadline. There will be 50 people in the semi-finals and 10 in the finals. The winner of thepetition will be the anchor and nner of therge-scale live show ¡®First Live¡¯ that ourpany is nning.¡± Director Shen looked at the three girls in front of him and slowly got up with both hands on the table. ¡°There¡¯s only one winner, and I hope it will be among you! As long as you win, the path to sess is waiting for you! Meeting adjourned!¡±
Director Shen went to attend a bigpany n meeting, and left only the three girls in the small conference room, so Ye Qiao immediately jumped up and spoke excitedly, ¡°This time, I¡¯ll definitelypete well and show those guys what I¡¯m made of. Show them what it means to be a professional host.¡±
Across the room, Miranda just snorted nonchntly. ¡°A frog in a well!¡±
¡°We¡¯re frogs at the bottom of the well, we¡¯ve never seen the world. But...¡±ughed Ye Qiao wickedly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you lose to us back then?¡±
¡°That was then, this is now!¡± Miranda huffed and stood up. ¡°This time, I¡¯ll make you lose!¡±
After that, she mmed the door.
Ye Qiao then turned around and extended her palm to Ning Xiaofei.
¡°Xiao fei, I won¡¯t get easy on you just because you¡¯re my best friend.¡±
Ning Xiaofei smiled and sped her hands together.
¡°Same here.¡±
The two girls smiled at each other and then said ¡°Good luck¡± to each other at the same time.
When going downstairs together, Ye Qiao shared some of the information she had learned about thepetition with Ning Xiaofei. She wasn¡¯t going to be mean just because she was her rival.
Ning Xiaofei did the same, immediately pointing out some of Ye Qiao¡¯s weaknesses and asking her to strengthen her practice and attention.
Thepany had already arranged an office for the two of them, with Miranda in the same room. Each has arge independent workstation,puters and all the necessary equipment. The working environment was much better than that of the TV station.
With aspirations for the future, Ning Xiaofei immediately threw herself into the preparations for thepetition.
In addition to the talent show, the semi-finals also required the provision of an independently produced news clip, which wasn¡¯t an easy job.
Busy and unaware that it was already afternoon, Ning Xiaofei had just saved the files she had sorted out on herputer when the phone on her desk rang.
On the screen, it disyed an unfamiliar number, and she answered it suspiciously.
¡°You are Miss Ning Xiaofei, right?¡±
An unfamiliar male voice sounded on the handset.
¡°Yes, I am, who are you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m Madame¡¯s assistant Lin Zifan. Madame would like to meet you.¡±
Chapter 276 - The Madams banquet.
Chapter 276 - The Madam''s banquet.
¡°Madam?¡± Ning Xiaofei was a bit confused. ¡°Whichdy?¡±
¡°It¡¯s Mr. Mu¡¯s mother, your mother-inw.¡±
Mother-inw?
Ning Xiaofei held the earpiece and was stunned for a full five seconds before she reacted to the significance of what this title represented.
It was a bit surprising that the Madam who had never appeared for so long had suddenly appeared.
¡°Then... Will Tianye be there as well?¡±
¡°Do I have to ask him for permission to see you?¡±
On the other side of the handset, it was suddenly reced by a woman¡¯s voice.
Objectively speaking, the voice was very pleasant to the ear, but... that strong tone was very ufortable.
Ning Xiaofei was speechless. It was true that Mu Tianye¡¯s mother was so powerful.
The ugly daughter-inw always had to meet her inws. This hurdle, sooner orter, she couldn¡¯t avoid it. She wouldn¡¯t miss a piece of flesh seeing her.
And, then again, she was curious about this mysterious mother-inw.
¡°I didn¡¯t mean that, don¡¯t get me wrong.¡±
¡°Tangyun Tea House.¡± The other party just tossed an address. ¡°Be there by six o¡¯clock. I don¡¯t like to wait for people!¡±
Then the phone was hung up.
What a mother and son. They did things in the same style.
Ning Xiaofei secretly ndered. She lifted her wrist to look at her watch and saw that the time was already five o¡¯clock. She immediately jumped up from her chair in a hurry.
¡°Ye Qiao, I have to leave a bit urgently.¡±
She was in the East Third Road, while Tangyun Teahouse was in the West Second Road. It was high time to leave work, so if she didn¡¯t want to bete, she must speed up.
She took a windy flight downstairs, stopped a taxi, and rushed to Tangyun Teahouse. As a result, she inevitably encountered traffic. When she arrived at the building, it was already five fifty.
Reporting her name, Ning Xiaofei followed the tea house waiter upstairs to a private room, where the wall clock in the corridor pointed to exactly six o¡¯clock.
Upon entering, there was a curling wisp of smoke from the incense burner on the antique tea table.
There sat at the table a middle-aged woman in in cheongsam with her long hair styled high, a well-kept finger flicking a purple tea teapot, a thin wrist with bright jade bracelet... elegant, beautiful and graceful.
At a nce, Ning Xiaofei was also astonished. No wonder Mu Tianye had that kind of temperament and appearance.
Knowing that she was a littlete, Ning Xiaofei quicklypensated with a smile.
¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was caught in the traffic.¡±
Mother Mu seemed to be concentrating on making tea without raising her eyelids.
Lin Zifan, the assistant standing behind her, came over and invited Ning Xiaofei over to sit across the tea table.
Across the table, Mother Mu slowly brewed tea with water.
¡°Do you know what kind of tea this is?¡±
The tea was still in the pot. Unable to see or touch it, Ning could only specte.
Looking at the purple teapot on the tea table, Ning Xiaofei thought. ¡°You¡¯re using a t short purple teapot, I guess... it could be oolong tea, is it?¡±
¡°I couldn¡¯t tell, you know tea too.¡± Mother Mu faintly raised her lips. ¡°Then, do you know why oolong tea uses this kind of pot?¡±
¡°This teapot is short and has a high temperature inside the pot, making it suitable for brewing oolong tea.¡±
Previously, Ning Xiaofei¡¯s mother also loved tea. Despite her hardships in life, she still kept up her hobby of drinking tea, something that she taught her daughter.
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Mother Mu put down the kettle in her hand. ¡°What kind of tea goes with what kind of kettle. If you use the right one, the tea thates out of it will be good. This is the way of tea. What kind of man matches what kind of woman, when paired, life will be happy. This is the way of man. Do you think that you are worthy of our Tianye?¡±
Chapter 277 - Feeling spoiled on the bed
Chapter 277 - Feeling spoiled on the bed
Listening to the first half sentence, Ning Xiaofei was still smiling. When she heard the second half, her smile had gradually reduced. By the time she heard thest, her little face was slightly pale.
¡°You... What do you mean?¡±
Mother Mu put down the kettle in her hand and uncovered the lid of the purple teapot.
¡°In fact, I put in ordinary green tea, which isn¡¯t suitable for a purple teapot to brew. After brewing these teas that can¡¯t make it to the table, I can¡¯t take this pot that I¡¯ve kept for several years.¡±
Mother Mu raised her hand, and Lin Zifan immediately reached out for the teapot, and threw the tea made in it into the waste tea bucket together with the teapot. The fine purple teapot shattered into several fragments in response to the sound, but to Ning Xiaofei¡¯s ears, it was as if it had smashed into her chest.
Mother Mu¡¯s beautiful eyes gazed at Ning Xiaofei¡¯s face through the air. As she watched her face turn a little bit from pink to bloodless pallor, a touch of victorious pride rose up in her eyes, but her tone remained unhurried, neither high nor low, but the words were like swords, tapered to the bone.
¡°You can buy a new teapot, but I only have one for my son, so I want you to leave him before you ruin him.¡±
The implication was clear, that Ning Xiaofei was nothing more than substandard tea, not worthy of Mu Tianye¡¯s expensive teapot.
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s hands on her knees were slowly clenched tightly. Her fingertips pricked her palm. It hurt, but it brought back the self-esteem that she had been forcefully crushed. Taking a deep breath, the corners of her trembling lips curled upwards a little.
¡°Thank you for your advice, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll be leaving.¡±
She stood up and turned to leave.
¡°Stop!¡± Mother Mu frowned. ¡°I haven¡¯t finished speaking yet.¡±
Ning Xiaofei stopped in her tracks.
Mother Mu raised her right hand, which was adorned by a jade bracelet, gently midair, and Lin Zifan immediately took a folder prepared on the table and ced it in front of Ning Xiaofei.
¡°This is a divorce agreement. As long as you agree to sign it, Madam will give you a downtown house and a check worth five million! You can live without any worries for the rest of your life.¡±
Ning Xiaofei gave the divorce agreement in his hand a sidelong nce, raised an eyebrow, turned to look at Mother Mu behind the table, and chuckled softly.
¡°A house plus five million, you¡¯re so generous. Unfortunately, I¡¯m not interested!¡±
¡°Ning Xiaofei.¡± Mother Mu¡¯s face didn¡¯t change much. ¡°I haven¡¯t even seen you before the marriage. You married into the Mu family, isn¡¯t it just for the money? So why do you have to be so pretentious?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, I did do it for the money.¡± Ning Xiaofei smirked as she pinched out her wallet from her bag and pulled out the credit card Mu Tianno gave her, waving it in mid-air. ¡°¡±This is the credit card your son gave me with a monthly limit of one million. I can swipe it any way I like and he pays the bill. Oh, I almost forgot, there¡¯s also this...¡±
She also pulled out her bank card. ¡°A few days ago, your son just transferred one million cash to me, and said, if it¡¯s not enough, he¡¯ll transfer more in two days. Right now, we are in love like glue, and he is even more obedient to me. Last night, I was just casually spilling my guts on the bed and he promised to give me the Lanting apartment, and this was only for a few days. I think...at most a month, I shouldn¡¯t have a problem asking for eight to ten million from him. Do you think...your meager five million will be enough to move me? A big vault is right in front of me, and you want me to leave just because you¡¯re throwing the gold bullion. Is it you or me that¡¯s stupid?¡±
Chapter 278 - Xiao Fei, the poisonous bun
Chapter 278 - Xiao Fei, the poisonous bun
The tips of Mother Mu¡¯s brows jumped, and the expression on her face finally cracked.
Taking her anger into her eyes, Ning Xiaofei stepped forward to the table, casually pulled out a wad of 100 bills from her wallet and stacked them on the table.
¡°This is for your tea, Oh... this cash is also from your son, not my treat!¡±
After that, she raised her hand to her hair and twisted her small waist to go.
Snap!
Mother Mu pounded the table and jumped up to her feet, her voice turning shrill.
¡°How long do you think he can spoil you?¡±
What, she wasn¡¯t going to keep her elegance anymore? Now her ferocity was revealed.
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s smile blossomed like a flower as she looked at the angry woman in front of her.
She really thought she was just a soft bun to be squeezed at will. At this level, she was no more than a few steps above her aunt. Let her see what a poisonous bun was today!
¡°Don¡¯t worry about that. No matter how long he spoils me, I¡¯m his wife, his legal wife, protected by thew. Even you have no right to divorce us!¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Mother Mu snickered. ¡°Zi Fan!¡±
¡°Yes, ma¡¯am!¡±
Lin Zifan lifted his palm and pressed a button on the screen of his phone. There, the words Ning Xiaofei had just said immediately echoed.
¡°That¡¯s right, I did do it for the money, and this is your son...¡±
Ning Xiaofei froze.
They...even recorded it?
How despicable!
Seeing Ning Xiaofei¡¯s little face go white, Mother Mu sat back in her chair and smiled elegantly once again.
¡°If I gave this recording to Tianye, do you think he would still spoil you so much?¡±
Ning Xiaofei gritted her teeth and sneered, ¡°Then I beg to differ. Tianye is such a wealthy man. Even if he divorces me, I won¡¯t share half of his fortune, I¡¯ll at least want a settlement of hundreds of millions. To think, I¡¯m in my youth; I¡¯m as beautiful as a flower, and still have endless money to spend... I¡¯m simply happy beyond belief!¡±
ying mind games with her?!
¡°Ha...¡± Mother Muughed. ¡°You think I don¡¯t know that Tianye did a property notary before the marriage, and you even signed a document that if you divorced him, you wouldn¡¯t get a single penny.¡±
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s eyes shed. She didn¡¯t expect that she even knew this.
¡°That¡¯s right, I don¡¯t have the right to divide his property.¡± Shoving the card in her hand back into her wallet, Ning Xiaofei shrugged, and her palm came up to gently caress her abdomen. ¡°But... he does!¡±
This move struck Mother Mu by surprise.
The victorious Mother Mu was shocked.
¡°Y-You¡¯re pregnant?!¡±
¡°Tianye said he likes children. Of course I¡¯m going to help him have them.¡± Turning defeat into victory, Ning Xiaofei took advantage of the victory. ¡°As far as I know, China¡¯s marriagew clearly states that the man cannot file for divorce while the woman is pregnant. Even if he really doesn¡¯t want me anymore, I¡¯m still the youngdy of the Mu family!¡±
¡°You...¡± Mother Mu¡¯s face turned livid. Her fingers, wearing a delicate jade ring, trembled as she pointed at Ning Xiaofei¡¯s face. ¡°Y-You¡¯re a sinister woman. I won¡¯t let you get away with it!¡±
¡°Is it possible that you are nning to amend the marriagew? If you have this ability, then I¡¯ll willingly step down in a heartbeat. However...¡± Ning Xiaofei touched her phone and saw Mu Tianye¡¯s number on it. She immediately put the call through, ¡°Hello, hubby... miss me?¡±
While answering the phone, she lifted her little hand with a smile, waved to Mother Mu, and walked pretentiously to the door.
Chapter 279 - We just met
Chapter 279 - We just met
¡°Are you at work?¡±
Over the telephone receiver, Mu Tianye asked gently.
¡°Hmm.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll pick you up at the office.¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m not at the office, I¡¯m outside.¡±
¡°Outside?¡±
¡°A word or two won¡¯t make it clear. I¡¯ll talk to you in detail when I get home.¡± Ning Xiaofei stepped down the stairs with a mouthful of advice. ¡°Go home first and wait for me. Be sure to wait for me, I have something very important to tell you.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± The man replied, and after a moment, he added, ¡°Don¡¯t rush on the way, and be safe.¡±
Ning Xiaofei ended the call and quickened her pace, walking out of the teahouse.
Mother Mu was obviously not a good person. There was no way she¡¯d let her go so easily, so she recorded all her words in anger. If Mu Tianye heard those words and thought she was serious, it would be the end.
She had to rify things before Mother Mu sent him the recording, so that he wouldn¡¯t misunderstand.
Upstairs.
Focusing on Mother Mu, who got up from her chair gloomily, Lin Zifan aske softly. ¡°Madam, are you going to see?¡±
Mother Mu took a deep breath. ¡°Let¡¯s go see Tianye.¡±
¡°But...¡± Lin Zifan frowned, his tone hesitant. ¡°You and young master...¡±
Mother Mu coldly interrupted him, ¡°Before she makes up lies, I must let him know what kind of person this woman really is!¡±
She initially thought that Mu Tianye¡¯s interest in Ning Xiaofei was just momentary. She didn¡¯t want to interfere more, until she saw the scandal between Ning Xiaofei and Xicheng. She couldn¡¯t sit still any longer and came back again from the United States.
This time, she hade prepared, making multiple preparations. She thought that it was a sure thing, but she never thought that she would end up being so countered by that girl.
¡°Now that Ning Xiaofei is rightfully spoiled, if you go to the door, I¡¯m afraid that Young Master...¡±
¡°Worst case he hates me more!¡± Mother Mu took a deep breath. ¡°No matter what, I can¡¯t let him be lulled around by a woman like that!¡±
Seeing her walk out of the booth, Lin Zifan quickly grabbed her handbag and chased her out.
.....
.....
The taxi parked below the apartment building. Ning Xiaofei paid the fare, didn¡¯t take the change and hurriedly got off. She returned to the apartment and opened the door, but there was no sign of Mu Tianye in the living room.
¡°Young Miss is back.¡± Miss Liu weed her out with a smile and took the backpack from her. ¡°Are you hungry? The rice is ready. If you¡¯re hungry, I¡¯ll cook some dishes now.¡±
¡°Is Tianye back yet?¡±
¡°Not yet.¡± Ning Xiaofei lifted her wrist to look at her watch. He was probably stuck in a traffic jam on the road. The Mu building was located in the middle of themercial center. Traffic jams at the end of the day were amon urrence. ¡°Then you can do itter. Wait for Tianye toe back, and save the food from getting cold when he arrives.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Miss Liu smiled and answered, ¡°Then go and get changed in the meantime.¡±
¡°Call me when Tianye is back.¡±
Ning Xiaofei changed out of her high heels and went upstairs. She put on a set offortable casual home clothes, and went into the bathroom to remove her makeup and wash her face, all the while organizing her thoughts on how to exin to Mu Tianye.
On second thought, she decided to tell the truth.
Downstairs, she faintly heard the doorbell ring.
Thinking it was Mu Tianyeing back, Ning Xiaofei quickly pulled a towel and wiped her face twice, drawing her slippers and trotting down the stairs.
¡°Honey, you¡¯re back...¡±
Mid-sentence, she saw Miss Liu letting Mother Mu and Lin Zifan into the living room. She choked on the words that reached her mouth.
Miss Liu then smiled and spoke, ¡°Young Miss, let me introduce you. This is...¡±
Chapter 280 - You taught me that.
Chapter 280 - You taught me that.
¡°No need.¡± Mother Mu curled her lips, her eyes with a bit of Debian pride and a bit ofcency, looking at Ning Xiaofei, who stiffened on the stairs. ¡°We¡¯ve just met.¡±
Hearing the strangeness in her voice, Ms. Liu was in doubt. Just because of her own identity, she naturally didn¡¯t dare to ask anything more.
¡°Then ... have a seat on the sofa. I¡¯ll help you make tea.¡±
Mother Mu wasn¡¯t polite. She looked around and went to sit on the sofa.
Ms. Liu then greeted Ning Xiaofei who came down the stairs and whispered. ¡°Young Miss, is everything alright?¡±
Ning Xiaofei sensed her concern and curled her lips lightly. ¡°Go and make tea.¡±
The person had already chased her to the door. Her purpose was clear without having to think about it. It was useless to say anything now. She could only wait for Mu Tianye toe back and see if he would believe his mom or her!
She took a deep breath, walked forward with her chin raised, and sat down on the couch across from Mother Mu.
Taking a nce at Mother Mu who was ring at her in anger and wishing she could electrocute her with her gaze, Ning Xiaofei just smiled and pushed the fruit te towards her.
¡°Help yourself and eat fruit as if you¡¯re in your own home, don¡¯t be polite.¡±
That gesture was impressively the bearing of a hostess.
Her opponent was much more powerful than her aunt and the others; she had to be careful and not mess up.
Across from her, Mother Mu¡¯s pupils shrank, but in a sh she regained her smile.
¡°Ning Xiaofei, you are very smart, but... don¡¯t forget, you have only been married to him for a few months, and I... have known him for more than 20 years!¡±
Her son had always been unable to rub half a grain of sand in his eyes.
If he knew that he was nothing more than a bargaining chip for Ning Xiaofei to use, he would be furious.
Ning Xiaofei flipped out her phone from her bag and yed with it in her hands, not bothering to retort.
¡°Does that mean anything?¡±
¡°The significance is that I know him better than you do.¡± Mother Mu looked calm. ¡°He¡¯s always been unable to rub sand in his eyes. If he knew that you were just using him, what do you think the consequences would be?¡±
Ning Xiaofei yed with her phone without speaking ¨C in fact, she wasn¡¯t sure.
Mother Mu wasn¡¯t wrong; they had been together for such a short time. Would that man really believe her and turn against his own mother?
¡°Just think, if he does flip out, you might not get anything.¡± Mother Mu leaned forward slightly. ¡°I¡¯ll give you 20 million as long as you initiate the divorce!¡±
Ning Xiaofei continued to y with her phone.
Mother Mu squinted and added more chips.
¡°30 million!¡±
Ning Xiaofei ruffled her hair and pouted at the screen, looking as if she was taking a selfie.
Mother Mu¡¯s brows scrunched up.
¡°50 million, this is yourst chance.¡±
Ning Xiaofei lifted her face; and just when Mother Mu thought she finally couldn¡¯t resist the temptation, she saw the girl turn her phone around and press the y button.
¡°I¡¯ll give you 20 million as long as you initiate the divorce...¡±
When Mother Mu frowned, Ning Xiaofei retrieved her phone and smiled.
¡°This is what you taught me. Now we¡¯re fair; you have a recording and so do I!¡±
¡°Great!¡± Mother Mu¡¯s face turned heavy. She squeezed a few words between gritted teeth, ¡°Let¡¯s see if he believes you or me!¡±
Ning Xiaofei leaned on the back of the sofa and said nothing.
Her heart pounded rapidly in her chest.
She had once lied to him so many times; would Mu Tianye believe her this time?
She didn¡¯t dare to think about it. She just shrank on the couch with her phone in her hand apprehensively, waiting for the man¡¯s return.
Chapter 281 - Give him the tape.
Chapter 281 - Give him the tape.
Ms. Liu ced both cups of tea gently on the table, her movements oozing caution. The atmosphere in the living room was overwhelmingly oppressive.
Ta!
In the foyer, the closed door finally parted and Mu Tianye stepped in. Ms. Liu quickly trotted over and picked up his coat.
¡°Young Master... you have guests!¡±
Guests?
Mu Tianye turned his face towards the living room, and immediately saw Mother Mu, who had risen from the couch. Since the couch Ning Xiaofei was sitting on had its back to the door, he didn¡¯t see her. His long eyebrows slightly rose, then slowly furrowed.
Mother Mu didn¡¯t hesitate to speak at the first opportunity to get the upper hand.
¡°Tianye.¡±
Mu Tianye snorted, and he stepped towards the stairs.
¡°Ms. Liu, see the guests off!¡±
At this time, Ning Xiaofei also stood up from the couch.
Mother Mu¡¯s eyes shed a different color and she raised her voice.
¡°I know you don¡¯t want to see me, but there¡¯s something I have to say.¡± She coldly swept a nce at Ning Xiaofei across from her. ¡°It has to do with your young wife.¡±
Mu Tianye slowly withdrew his right foot from the stairs and turned around towards the living room. Only then did he see Ning Xiaofei standing across from Mother Mu.
Retracting his right foot, he turned and walked over to the sofa, and immediately reached out to hold Ning Xiaofei¡¯s palm.
¡°Follow me upstairs.¡±
He never looked at Mother Mu directly, as if there was no one else in this living room except Ning Xiaofei.
¡°Young Master!¡±
Lin Zifan spoke softly.
Mu Tianye nted a cold nce at him, and Lin Zifan immediately shut his mouth knowingly.
Patting Ning Xiaofei¡¯s arm lightly, Mu Tianye spoke in a low voice.
¡°Go upstairs first.¡±
Ning Xiaofei nodded and walked towards the stairs.
¡°Stop!¡± Mother Mu took two quick steps and blocked Ning Xiaofei. ¡°I haven¡¯t finished yet!¡±
¡°Enough!¡± Mu Tianye frowned and walked forward, pulling Ning Xiaofei behind him, and pointing his left hand to the hall. ¡°Get out of my house this instant.¡±
The corner of Mother Mu¡¯s lips twitched uncontrobly. ¡°Is this the way you treat your mother?¡±
The man lifted an eyebrow, his voice so cold it hinted no emotion nor warmth. ¡°I don¡¯t have a mother!¡±
Four words, like a count of ps, smacked Mother Mu in the face. Her pretty face suddenly changed and her lips trembled.
¡°Madam!¡±
Lin Zifan rushed over and supported her arm.
Pulling her arm out of his hand and slowly stopping the blow to her back, Mother Mu took a deep breath.
¡°I know you hate me, and I don¡¯t me you, but ... there¡¯s something I have to say today. Zifan, give him the recording!¡±
Lin Zifan nodded and took the phone out of his pocket.
¡°I¡¯m not interested!¡±
Mu Tianye pulled Ning Xiaofei to head upstairs, but Mother Mu stepped forward and blocked him.
¡°As soon as you finish listening to the recording, I¡¯ll leave right away.¡± At this point, Lin Zifan had already opened the audio on his phone, pressed the y button, and Ning Xiaofei¡¯s voice immediately rang out.
¡°That¡¯s right, I did do it for the money ... This is the credit card your son gave me with one million limit per month. Just swipe it, he pays the bill. Oh, I almost forgot, there is also this ...¡±
Mu Tianye frowned and turned to look behind him. Ning Xiaofei immediately spoke, ¡°Tianye, listen to my exnation. I am...¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Mother Mu sternly interrupted her exnation, staring at Mu Tianye. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you hated women who love money? Now, can you still say that?¡±
Chapter 282 - Not as much as she was in your bed the last few days.
Chapter 282 - Not as much as she was in your bed thest few days.
The grip on Ning Xiaofei¡¯s hand slowly loosened, and Mu Tianye¡¯s fingers tightened, slowly holding himself in one ce.
He was clearly suppressing some sort of feeling, because his knuckles crackled a few times when he clenched his hands.
¡°Get out!¡±
Ning Xiaofei swallowed back the exnation that reached her mouth.
Sure enough, he didn¡¯t believe her!
What was the point of exining more if a person didn¡¯t trust you?
She took a breath, turned towards the door, but as soon as she took a step, Mu Tianye grabbed her arm.
¡°I¡¯m not talking about you!¡±
Ning Xiaofei¡¯s back stiffened.
Not that her, then...
Across the room, Mother Mu stared at her son in dismay, her voice obviously tremulous.
¡°So, you ... are telling me to get lost?! For such a vain and shallow woman, you¡¯re telling your own mother to buzz off? Did I carry you in my womb for 10 months and raise you ... but is no better than her, who has only been to your bed for some days?¡±
Mu Tianye¡¯s grip on Ning Xiaofei¡¯s fingers tightened unconsciously, but his handsome face remained expressionless.
¡°You shouldn¡¯t have given birth to me in the first ce.¡±
¡°You!¡± Mother Mu¡¯s face changed drastically. She suddenly took a step forward, raised her hand and pped him. ¡°You bastard!¡±
Mu Tianye clearly saw her movement, but he didn¡¯t dodge half of it.
Mother Mu¡¯s palm with a ringnded heavily on his face and a resounding p sounded. When Mu Tianye¡¯s face was tilted, there was a palm print and an obvious scratch on one side of his cheek.
Mother Mu¡¯s beautiful eyes squinted as she looked at Mu Tianye¡¯s face she had hit, and her undted violently.
It took a while before she spoke again.
¡°I don¡¯t care if you disown me or not; you were born to me. Think about why you married her. Is there love between you? Think about why you took your prenup under consideration and why you made her sign that contract ... Actually you know better than anyone. You¡¯re just doing this to spite me! How can a woman who has never seen you before marriage love you. She loves nothing more than your money!¡±
¡°Tianye, it¡¯s nothing like that.¡± Ning Xiaofei immediately defended. ¡°I don¡¯t think of it that way.¡±
¡°Not thinking that way?¡± Mother Mu stepped forward and stared daggers at Ning Xiaofei. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the money, why did you marry him?¡±
¡°I ... ¡°Ning was speechless. ¡°It¡¯s true that I initially married Tianye out of desperation, but afterwards ...¡±
¡°What happened afterwards? Love was slowly cultivated when you went through thick and thin together?¡± Mother Mu sneered. ¡°If he wasn¡¯t Mu Tianye; if he wasn¡¯t the CEO of Mu; if he was just a poor, penniless kid with no money for you to swipe and spend; would you still care about him?¡±
Ning Xiaofei straightened up. ¡°As long as he treats me well, I don¡¯t mind even if he¡¯s poor.¡±
¡°How lovely.¡± Mother Mu smiled brighter and brighter. ¡°If you really love Tianye, I would be happy for my son. Want me to trust you? Then write me a pledge that if you betray him once, you¡¯ll give up all your inheritance rights, including your children. Do you dare?¡±
Mu Tianye stretched out his arm to hold Ning Xiaofei¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Ms. Liu, go to the study and bring the document folder from the second drawer.¡±
Ms. Liu quickly went upstairs. After a while, she brought a document folder down to him.
He reached out and opened the document folder, pulling a document out of it and waving it at Mother Mu.
¡°Prenuptial agreement!¡±
The man torn the document in half with a brush of two his hands.
Chapter 283 - As if she aged ten years.
Chapter 283 - As if she aged ten years.
Mother Mu frowned in dismay.
At this effort, Mu Tianye took out the second document from the folder.
¡°This is Xiao Fei¡¯s promise!¡±
A marriage without any emotional foundation, of course Mu Tianye wouldn¡¯t give her the chance to seize his property. Before they got their license, he had already prepared a series of prenuptial agreements, and this one was a statement signed by Ning Xiaofei herself, stating that if she divorced or betrayed Mu Tianye, she wouldn¡¯t get a single penny of his money.
Mu Tianye raised his hands, and while taking in Mother Mu¡¯s startled and disappointed expression mixed with anger, Mu Tianye once again exerted his power.
RRRIP¨C
The statement in his hand was also split in two.
Then, he tore the two documents in his hands into shreds with three or two strokes, throwing the pieces in his hands over and tossing them down on Mother Mu. He spoke icily.
¡°I can give my money to whomever I want. I marry whomever I want, and whether I get cheated or not, sick or hurt, my life and death are none of your business ... Now, get out of my house!¡±
With line, his voice got colder.
Thatst one, ¡°my¡±, he totally yelled it!
Where was she when he was sick and sad?
Where was she when he was studying abroad, alone and helpless, looking for someone to talk to?
He watched his father breathe hisst alone. He was afraid that his grandfather would be too sad so he didn¡¯t tell him, but he also had to shoulder the huge debt he left behind ... Where was she?
.....
Mom?
Hmph?
He didn¡¯t have a mother. He didn¡¯t have one before, and he wouldn¡¯t have in the future!
White papers sprinkled down like snow. The man¡¯s pupils contracted, and then slowly returned to normal.
Mother Mu¡¯s eyes went ck; her body shook; her lips quivered, but no sound emerged, then she copsed weakly to the ground.
Fortunately, assistant Lin and Ms. Liu rushed over in time to support her, and she didn¡¯t fall.
Taking a deep breath, she stood up straight again.
¡°Fine... I¡¯ll get lost!!¡±
She drew her arm out of Assistant Lin and Ms. Liu¡¯s arms, and strode out the door.
She stumbled a little, as if she was stepping on cotton with every step, or her legs had been filled with lead. Her back, which had been straight, was now hunched down, as if she had aged ten years at once.
¡°Madam!¡±
Assistant Lin chased after her, and Ms. Liu followed worriedly.
Without looking in the direction of the door, Mu Tiannye slowly released Ning Xiaofei and headed for the stairs.
¡°Tianye?¡±
Ning Xiaofei called out to him timidly.
¡°You eat first and leave me alone.¡±
The man turned his back to her and went upstairs without looking back.
Standing downstairs, watching the man¡¯s obviously heavy steps, Ning Xiaofei felt distressed. She slowly followed him all the way upstairs, and watched him disappear into the study room. He closed the door, and she stopped in hesitation.
Ms. Liu came back and followed her on the stairs.
¡°Is Young Master ... okay?¡±
Ning Xiaofei shook her head gently. She turned around and grabbed Ms. Liu¡¯s arm, pulling her downstairs.
¡°Ms. Liu, what the hell is going on with Tianye and his mother?¡±
Even if it was Mu Tianye¡¯s foul temper acting up, from the first time he saw Mother Mu, it was a bit abnormal for him to lose his temper before she even spoke.
That feeling wasn¡¯t like mother and son, but rather like a pair of enemies.
Ms. Liu looked embarrassed.
¡°Ms. Liu!¡±
Ning Xiaofei frowned and whispered, pleading.
Ms. Liu frowned for a moment, took her by the arm and brought her to the kitchen. She wavered for a while before she finally spoke.
