The next morning, Xi Xiaye had woken up snuggled in a bundle of warmth. She noticed the night before that when she was falling asleep, she was engulfed with a source of warmth from the back. Out of habit, she ruffled her hair and turned over slightly to see that the man still had his eyes closed and was sleeping very peacefully.

She took a deep breath, rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, and after a while, she gently moved his hands that held her by the waist away. Then, she carefully got down from the bed.

For the past two days, he had been sleeping late and waking up early, so he was pretty worn out. Xi Xiaye took a look at the time by the bedside and realized that it was 6.30 a.m. on the dot, so she did not wake him up.

After she washed up, she walked downstairs to make breakfast.

When it came to breakfast, Xi Xiaye’s culinary skills were so-so. She did not know how to make that much. All those Western breakfasts or whatnot were too complicated and she had no idea know how to prepare all those.

She only knew how to cook porridge and fry some eggs or cook some simple salted vegetables.

When she was done preparing breakfast, it was past 7 a.m. By the time she returned to the bedroom and wanted to wake Mu Yuchen up, the man had already made the bed and was about to go downstairs. He saw Xiaye fidgeting in front of the wardrobe, so he reached out to pick a light beige spring outfit out for her.

“This one.”

“This one? Is it suitable?”

Xi Xiaye took it and tried to see how it looked on her. She noticed that he had dressed as usual that day in a silver-grey casual suit.

Mu Yuchen took a look at her gaunt body and nodded gently.

“Actually, I quite like this color too. This is it then.” Xi Xiaye was quite straightforward as she picked the clothes up and walked towards the bathroom.

A while after that, she changed and walked downstairs. Mu Yuchen was already sitting relaxed by the dining table, reading the newspapers as he ate his breakfast.

Xi Xiaye, who was having her porridge, suddenly looked up at him and asked softly, “Have you prepared everything?”

“Ah Mo has already prepared them yesterday and put them in the car. Anyway, they don’t care about those things, so you don’t have to be nervous. The ones that should be nervous are them. Plus, with me around, what are you so worried about?” Mu Yuchen did not even look up as he said plainly.

“Who says I’m nervous? I’m not. If there’s anything that’s inappropriate, you’ll be the embarrassed one,” Xi Xiaye replied a little sulkily.

Mu Yuchen looked up at her, the smile on his face a little freaky. “If you really think so, then that means that your self-consciousness is rather high.”

Xi Xiaye shot him a side look. She was too lazy to argue with him.

After breakfast, the husband and wife duo left the house. Xiaye drove his Porsche.

Initially, Mu Yuchen had already sat in the driver’s seat, but she had pushed him to sit in the front passenger seat instead. He complied since he knew that even though this woman looked gentle and indifferent, she was actually quite ambitious and unwilling to admit defeat.

The car sped out of the Grand Waves Villa area and drove on the highway that led straight to the airport.

In the car, Mu Yuchen leaned back comfortably while listening to the music as his well-manicured nails tapped on his knees to the beat. He seemed to be in a pretty jovial mood.

“When’s the company going on a break this year? The New Year this year seems to have been pushed back later than the ones in the past. It’s best to decide when the break is earlier. After all, the employees need to make their travel arrangements,” Xi Xiaye suddenly piped up.

“Next week, we’ll have work for another week. The Publicity Department has already made the announcements. After the New Year, we’ll be doing some staff restructuring. Do prepare your department for it,” Mu Yuchen reminded plainly.

“Restructuring? Didn’t we just do that?” Xi Xiaye gave him a questioning look.

“The company has had quite a few projects after the New Year and I’ve already brought people back from France to assign to those projects. Naturally, some people need to be redeployed.”

“Mmm, got it. I’ll just wait for the arrangements from the human resources department.”

...

When the car ambled into the carpark, the time was 8.30 a.m. on the dot.

They got down from the car, then the husband and wife walked towards the arrival gate.

On that cold morning, many people had come to greet others at the airport.

However, both of them had taken the special lane for VIPs. They had just taken a few steps when Zhuang Shurong called Mu Yuchen, saying that she had already landed and was making her way out.

Xi Xiaye did not say anything along the way. She just followed Mu Yuchen.

They walked for about 10 meters when they could vaguely hear the urgent and resounding pad of footsteps on the walkway. Xi Xiaye subconsciously looked up and saw that ahead, there were a few figures walking very quickly towards them.

At a closer look, she could see clearly the people who were directly across them.

The leading person was a middle-aged woman in a black power suit. Her elegant and exquisite face vaguely held hints of a strict vigor and between her brows a firm heroic spirit was revealed. Her every move revealed an indescribable calm and dignity while her gaze was very incisive and threatening.

She was very breathtaking with an extraordinary grace. You could tell that when she was younger, she must have been a beauty. In fact, her looks seemed to be quite similar to the man beside Xi Xiaye who could almost immediately figure out the identity of this middle-aged woman.

Behind her, she was followed by some younger men and women. Their mannerisms showed that they were her subordinates.

When she saw the woman marching towards him resolutely, Mu Yuchen stopped mid-step and held Xi Xiaye’s hand.

“This case has to be done in order. There’s no way of me accommodating from my end. Let him understand the situation from Bureau Chief Zhao. Just reply him like that. If he’s got any problems, ask him to speak to me personally,” commanded the woman. Then, she closed the document before handing it to the man beside her. “Okay, all of you go home first. We’ll discuss anything else tomorrow.”

“Okay, Chief Zhuang!”

The few people behind her responded respectfully, then they very quickly held back their steps to let Zhuang Shurong go first.
