C59 (1/2)

After Xi Muyao asked for a long time without getting a reply, he reached out to push and pull Yun Hu, trying to wake her up. Before he could complete his movement, the guardian god in front of him stretched out his hand to block him.

Seeing that he had tried to take action many times but was unable to find any information he wanted, although Xi Muyao was furious and worried, he had not lost his mind due to the anger. Xi Muyao snorted coldly, and threw away the man's hand with a look of extreme unhappiness.

The man looked like he was purposely provoking Yun Hu, raising his chin proudly like a victorious lion. He hugged Yun Hu even more tightly, tidied up the bottom of his clean suit, then led the unconscious Yun Hu towards the door.

Xi Muyao was enraged. He strode forward and used one hand to hold onto the man's shoulder, and with the other hand he swung his fist at the man.

He immediately tilted his head and dodged the incoming fist as he timely dodged Xi Muyao's punch. He protected Yun Hu within her own safety and then exposed a slight sneer on her face towards Xi Muyao: ”President Xi, your own wife ran away, yet you're here to ask my woman?”

Xi Muyao's heart jumped, he suddenly raised his head and asked: ”Who exactly are you?”

The man looked at Xi Muyao in ridicule, laughed coldly, and did not reply, but took Yun Hu and left.

Xi Muyao clenched his fists tightly. He understood in his heart that the man was only hinting at him. The matter between him and Qingli would one day become a matter of paper. The media and society would cruelly tear through this layer of paper and expose it under the spotlight, as well as the headlines in the newspapers.

At this critical moment, he could not afford to be disorderly. He had to be patient. He could not afford to lose Lu Qingli.

Besides, he couldn't afford to get into a ruckus over a whim, let alone the media. Regarding the pressure that he was about to impose, just because of Mayor Lu Jinghao's anger, even if Xi Muyao could endure it, it did not mean that Lu Qingli could.

Xi Muyao was very busy throughout the day. When he returned to his company from the smoky bar, his steps were already very tired. He staggered into his office. Ever since Qingli left, he basically did not return to his and Lin Yeyan's home, and instead chose to stay at the company. In any case, Xi Muyao had a private room in his office for him to rest and work in.

After returning to the company, Xi Muyao didn't even turn on the wall light and directly walked into the resting lounge, accompanied by the dim moonlight and the neon light that was scattered around the city by the French windows.

Xi Muyao slowly exhaled the turbid air in his chest. After returning to his domain, he finally relaxed a little and laid on the bed with his hands and feet relaxed. After a while, he was unable to sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at the sky outside the transparent glass dome.

Even at this very moment. His mind was filled with Lu Qingli's image and he could not chase her away no matter how hard he tried.

He didn't want to go back. Without Lu Qingli's house, it couldn't be called home.

Once Lu Qingli was no longer by her side, he would no longer have a home.

Xi Muyao didn't want anyone to see his helplessness.

However, when he thought about how Lu Qingli and Mu Wenshu would be together in some place that he did not know of, and how they would be in such great pain, as though they had been slashed by blades, and the blood would slowly seep into their hearts, and they would not die in a short period of time, but would still be unable to escape from the blade. This pain penetrated deep into his bones and was difficult to erase.

That was the pain Lu Qingli had given him. Because he still loved Lu Qingli dearly, it was only because Lu Qingli made such a small move that it hurt him so much.

Xi Muyao closed his eyes and allowed his exhausted consciousness to gradually dissipate under the endless entanglement and longing.

Time silently slipped away quickly, as if he had closed his eyes and opened them again, it was already the second day.

Xi Muyao drowsily spent the night, and then, unable to hide his exhaustion, he walked down the elevator.

”Darling son-in-law!” He heard a loud shout from the front. Xi Muyao raised his head, only to see a figure suddenly rushing over from the front entrance, and grabbing onto Xi Muyao's arm before anyone could react.

”The people under your command are really insensible! Look, I'm your father-in-law, the moment I see you, the receptionist still wants me to make an appointment for registration! ” Xi Muyao raised his ice-cold gaze, and unsurprisingly, he saw a man in his fifties wearing a grey jacket. Looking at Xi Muyao's face, he smiled, and flattered him with a face full of wrinkles.

The security guards in the company hall saw someone rushing towards President Xi, and immediately rushed over in groups of two or three. Before this old man made a fuss, they were already standing by Xi Muyao's side, waiting for Xi Muyao's orders, and the moment Xi Muyao opened his mouth, they could immediately grab the ugly old man and throw him out of the company building.
