Qin Muchen burst out in laughter at the surprised expression on Su Ziyue's face.
He palmed Ziyue's face and said, "And as for Nan Chuan, don't worry about it. I'll take care of it."
"You'll take care of it? You're going to Country J?" Ziyue frowned.
"If you don't want me to, I won't go." Muchen narrowed his eyes.
"Really?" Ziyue didn't believe him. Muchen was never one to obey her without question, especially after something this big had happened.
Muchen sighed quietly. "Didn't you just say that some of their people have come to Yunzhou City?"
It really looked like Ziyue had lost faith in Muchen.
She wasn't wrong. He would be in Country J if he found out about Chuan two days ago.
Ziyue immediately caught on. "How did you know?" She asked.
"There's nothing I do not know."
"I'm the one who's always left out of the loop. Of course, you know everything." Ziyue said with an arched brow.
"How's everything with the company? Are you handling it okay?" Sensing she was about to get angry, Muchen quickly changed the subject.
Ziyue shoved his hand off her shoulder. She turned and sat down on the couch. "It can be tiring," she replied honestly, "But knowing that the money I earn is mine to keep drives all the fatigue away."
Ziyue grinned at Muchen as she leaned into the couch. She looked extremely satisfied with herself.
Muchen found her teasing adorable. He smiled and sat down next to her. "As long as you're happy."
"Relax. I won't let go of LK Group that easily. After you've gifted it to me so generously, how ungrateful would I be to return it to you?" Ziyue snorted.
"Oh well, maybe we can work something out, so you be the face of the company while I handle the internal going-on." Muchen was unphased.
"Dream on." Ziyue rose to her feet and approached the desk. "It's late. I should be getting home. Zixi wants me every time he wakes up at night."
She picked up her bag and turned to look at Muchen.
He was dreaming. He had already planned for her to be the company's figurehead while he ran the company.
There was no way she would agree to get back with him. We'll see… He'll have no chance but to accept it when the time comes.
Muchen's expression tightened when he saw her leaving. "You're not going to wait for me?"
"You can choose to come home with me. I have to come back early for work tomorrow." Without waiting, Ziyue turned and walked out.
Muchen's eyebrows shot up. He turned off the light on the desk and followed behind her.
He wasn't in a hurry. Muchen kept a distance of a couple of feet behind her.
Su Ziyue's heels clicked against the tile floor. The sound echoed through the empty hallway while Qin Muchen's footsteps were silent. Unless she had already been aware of his presence, she couldn't tell someone was following her.
They walked to the underground parking garage.
Ziyue arrived at the car and turned back to look at Muchen.
"Go home." Muchen had both hands in the pockets of his pants. His features were soft and warm in the glow of the light.
Ziyue's hand hesitated at the door before she spun around and stalked towards him. She placed both hands on his shoulders, pulled him towards her, and planted a kiss on his lips.
