Ruan Bai heard the envy in Zhou Xiaosu's teasing, and his eyes flickered slightly.
Zhou Xiaosu put away the disappointment in her heart, raised her cup and touched it with her, "Mr. Ruan, our company has gone through such a big crisis, and we want to celebrate it. Come on, cheers."
Ruan Bai took a sip of wine with a smile.
With Zhou Xiaosu at the beginning, other employees in the company were also ready to move forward and wanted to toast Ruan Bai.
"You are not allowed to get Mr. Ruan drunk. She has a family. She will not be able to explain to her when she gets drunk. She wants to drink with me." Zhou Xiaosu stood in front of Ruan Bai and blocked the drink.
She originally wanted to remind Zhou Xiaosu that she also had two children to take care of, but then she thought about it, she was full of worries and drinking was always a way to vent her anger.
The people here were all colleagues from the company, so it didn’t matter if they were drunk, so Ruan Bai watched them become lively.
The other side.
After Ruan Bai left home, Mu Shaoling drove to the airport.
Mai Xiang walked out of the airport and saw Mu Shaoling standing beside the car smoking. She couldn't help but feel excited and moved closer.
"Shaoling, you're here." She walked up to him, her face flushed with excitement.
When Mu Shaoling personally called her to invite her over, she couldn't believe what she heard, but it was indeed his voice and his mobile number, so it was true.
Regardless of her so-called reserve, Mai Xiang directly booked the fastest flight to City A. It didn't matter that there was no special class, so she went directly to the economy class with others.
"Well, let's get in the car." Facing the woman's excitement, Mu Shaoling's expression remained calm. He put out the cigarette butt and opened the driver's door, showing no intention of serving Mai Xiang.
Mai Xiang, who was overwhelmed by the surprise, did not pay attention to these details and happily walked around the front of the car and sat in the passenger seat.
She turned her head and looked at Mu Shaoling with obsession, ignoring the sinister flash in his eyes.
"Shaoling, are we going home to meet our aunt?" Mai Xiang was so happy that she began to dream about a beautiful life with Mu Shaoling.
"No hurry." Mu Shaoling started the car, "You haven't eaten yet, right?"
"No." Mai Xiang was pleasantly surprised again, praising his carefulness in her heart.
"Then let's go have dinner." The air floating on Mu Shaoling's nose was full of wheat-scented perfume. His brows furrowed even more tightly. Ruan Bai's breath smelled good. There was no complicated fragrance, but just cleanness.
of purity.
Mai Xiang didn't think much about what he said and just nodded in agreement.
Mu Shaoling's eyes darkened, he stepped on the accelerator and drove directly to the Hilton.
Mai Xiang didn't know that what was waiting for her was not a sumptuous and romantic dinner as she had imagined, but an endless web.
Hilton.
When Mai Xiang got out of the car, she wanted to hold Mu Shaoling's hand, but he easily dodged it.
For a moment, she felt a little hurt, but as soon as her thoughts changed, she didn't think it was anything. After all, a public figure like Mu Shaoling must pay great attention to her external image.
What's more, he is still not divorced outside. If the two of them are photographed holding hands by reporters, it will damage his image.
Mai Xiang figured it out and followed him happily.
Mu Shaoling booked a private room.
Mai Xiang followed him in, but was seen by Zhou Xiaosu who was going to the bathroom.
"This is not..." She hurried back to the private room and held Ruan Bai's hand.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Bai looked at her doubtfully.
"I saw Mr. Mu just now, and there was a woman beside him." Zhou Xiaosu reminded, swallowing his words that he thought the woman was pretty. After all, he didn't know what the situation was.
"Shaoling is here?" Ruan Bai suddenly realized that no wonder he sent the three children to the old house to spend the night. It turned out that he had a party.
Zhou Xiaosu saw the looseness between her eyebrows and asked doubtfully: "Aren't you worried? After all, she is a woman."
Ruan Bai completely trusted Mu Shaoling. She shook her head and smiled lightly and gently, "Where are the differences between men and women in the workplace? Sister Zhou, you were not like this before. Are you under too much psychological pressure?"
Zhou Xiaosu understands these principles. For example, isn't Ruan Bai's company supported by the two of them?
She laughed dryly and stopped talking, lest she think she was gossiping.
The celebration banquet continued, but Ruan Bai's thoughts drifted to Mu Shaoling.
It's not that he doubted that Mu Shaoling would do anything to feel sorry for him, it was just that he felt strange.
After all, he would explain clearly every time he couldn't refuse the entertainment in the past. Only this time, he pretended to be mysterious.
The other side.
Mu Shaoling sat across from Mai Xiang. The table was empty except for two glasses of lemonade.
There was no romantic candlelight dinner, and there was no tenderness and sweetness on his face that Mai Xiang expected.
She waited for a long time, drank half a glass of lemonade, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Shaoling, don't we have dinner?"
"Wait a minute." Mu Shaoling looked at the phone without looking up.
Ruan Bai knew that he was coming to Hilton, but it didn't matter, he didn't stop him from putting on a good show.
If this thing is successful, it will also change Mr. Mu's view of Ruan Bai.
Mai Xiang didn't know who he was chatting with, but with such a serious expression, he was probably busy with work.
She originally wanted to talk, but now she didn't dare anymore.
There was a knock on the private room door. Before Mu Shaoling could say anything, Zhang Yali opened the door and came in.
"Why are you here?" Mu Shaoling looked at his mother who was dressed in jewels. She didn't look like a money-hungry mother at all.
Zhang Yali sat beside Mai Xiang without thinking, holding her hand eagerly with a smile on her face, "I miss Mai Xiang, so I came here to see you. Mai Xiang, you promised to come over and chat with me from time to time.
As a result, you haven’t even taken the initiative to come over after being back for so long. If Shao Ling hadn’t enlightened me, I don’t know when I would be able to see you.”
Zhang Yali came here after being told by Mai Xiang, and she felt ecstatic in her heart. Has her son figured it out?
Seeing the shyness on Mai Xiang's face, she continued to tease, "But, have I disturbed your world?"
Mai Xiang kept muttering in her heart. She originally just informed Zhang Yali about the progress of their relationship, but she didn't expect that she would actually come over.
However, on the surface, Mai Xiang put away her dissatisfaction and shook her head obediently: "No, I'm very happy that you can come. We haven't sat down to eat together for a long time."
Zhang Yali was very satisfied with her well-behaved and considerate attitude. She had no intention of disturbing their world, but she needed money to maintain her current life.
To get the money, you need to have a better relationship with Mu Shaoling.
Zhang Yali would naturally seize this opportunity. She glanced at the table and saw that the food hadn't been served yet. She asked, "Shaoling, why hasn't the food been served yet?"
"Wait a minute." Mu Shaoling was still expressionless.
Zhang Yali educated: "Although Mai Xiang is one of our own, we can't mistreat others casually."
Mu Shaoling put down his cell phone and stared at the fragrance of wheat. He would naturally entertain such a woman well, "Of course not. You have to wait a little longer for a luxurious meal."
