Mu Jinyu heard Wang Zhengbiao's words and his face darkened a bit.
Wang Zhengbiao laughed and said, "Just kidding, brother-in-law, don't get mad."
Mu Jinyu said helplessly, "Can you stop calling brother-in-law?"
Wang Zhengbiao was almost thirty years old, calling i Yinxue 'Big Sister' was sowhat acceptable and not too exaggerated, but calling himself brother-in-law, what was that about?
It almost made him feel old.
Scratching his head, Wang Zhengbiao hesitantly said, "But I call Sister i 'Big Sister', so naturally, I should call you brother-in-law now, right?"
Mu Jinyu sighed, "Alright then, from now on, let's stick to our own terms, you call brother-in-law, I'll call you Uncle Biao. Uncle Biao, get a bottle of Coke for your brother-in-law."
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Wang Zhengbiao's mouth twitched a few tis.
Unable to hold back, i Yinxue chuckled and said, "Alright Ah-Biao, don't fret over these titles. From now on just call him Young Master Mu, calling him brother-in-law really isn't appropriate."
Although i Yinxue hoped deeply that her relationship with Mu Jinyu would gain everyone's approval and let her subordinates openly call Mu Jinyu brother-in-law…
She knew that in Mu Jinyu's heart, she only occupied a small place, and being at this stage with him now was quite good. To be greedy and want to monopolize Mu Jinyu, if it displeased him, the losses would outweigh the gains.
When i Yinxue spoke up, Wang Zhengbiao gave a rueful smile and said, "Alright, the food is all served, 'Big Sister', Young Master Mu, go ahead and eat. I have to run an errand now." Dıscover more novels at noᴠelfire
"Won't you stay and eat with us?" Mu Jinyu asked.
Shaking his head, Wang Zhengbiao said, "No, we've just pried information about the position of Huang Qiuhua's subordinates from her mouth. It's better to deal with them quickly to prevent any changes."
Having said that, he hurried off.
He was very perceptive. Even though people had already been sent to capture the remnants of Huang Qiuhua's followers and he had nothing to do, what was the point of staying and being a third wheel when the couple were so affectionate?
If their relationship hadn't progressed, his staying wouldn't have been too awkward, but now, if he really stayed for the al, he'd likely be in for a reprimand from 'Big Sister' later.
…
After lunch, Mu Jinyu was about to part with i Yinxue, needing so ti alone to calm down.
i Yinxue didn't say much either, nor did she behave like those young girls in a fresh break-through in a relationship who can't bear to be apart for even a mont.
After dropping Mu Jinyu off at his community gate, just as he was about to get out of the car, i Yinxue called out to him.
"Wait a second."
Mu Jinyu paused and turned to look at i Yinxue.
"Smack!"
i Yinxue swiftly pecked Mu Jinyu on the face and then smiled, saying, "Go rest well, don't tire yourself out."
With that, she drove off with flair.
Mu Jinyu touched his cheek, watching the direction in which i Yinxue had driven off, and he gave a bitter smile.
He didn't know how his relationship with i Yinxue had suddenly beco like this.
He had initially felt that i Yinxue was too dangerous, too risky to get too close to.
But ultimately, when she threw herself at him, he found himself unable to reject her.
It then dawned on him that, unknowingly, besides Wen Rou and Gu Xiyan, i Yinxue, a woman of exceptional beauty and formidable presence, had also invaded his heart early on.
He had simply been afraid to admit it before.
Shaking his head slightly, Mu Jinyu felt his mind was in complete disarray, utterly chaotic.
He didn't know how to face Wen Rou and Gu Xiyan anymore.
Although between them, it was clear there were mutual feelings, no one had ever breached that barrier.
...
He spent an entire afternoon at ho, confused and listless.
During that ti, i Yinxue seed to understand the turmoil in his heart, or perhaps she was just as conflicted, so she didn't call or text him again.
This made Mu Jinyu feel less pressure.
By around five in the afternoon, feeling a bit guilty, Mu Jinyu was thinking about going out to buy so groceries to cook a nice dinner, when he received a call from Wen Rou.
"Little Mu, co to the office quickly, soone is pursuing Sister Xiyan."
Wen Rou said with a sense of urgency in her voice.
"Hmm? Who would dare?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu's eyes narrowed, radiating strands of dangerous aura.
"I'm not sure, but Sister Xiyan is so annoyed by him that she can't work properly, and yet she won't call you. So I rushed to give you a call secretly."
Wen Rou whispered.
"Okay, I'm on my way."
Mu Jinyu responded and then hung up the phone.
He was ready to head out imdiately to support Gu Xiyan and drive away the new suitor.
But glancing down at his beach shorts and white tank top, he changed his mind thinking it looked a bit tacky, so he turned back inside to change into the suit that Gu Xiyan had previously bought for him.
After fixing up his appearance, Mu Jinyu combed his hair in front of the mirror, smiled with satisfaction, and then set off for their company's office building.
Arriving outside the office building, Mu Jinyu saw a young man in a suit, holding a bouquet of flowers, seemingly waiting quietly for soone to co downstairs to surprise them.
At the young man's feet, a series of candles arranged in the shape of a heart were placed, surrounded by countless rose petals that filled the entire heart, creating an illusion of being in a sea of flowers.
It looked quite romantic.
However, with so many rose petals, that must have cost at least fifty or sixty thousand, right?
Mu Jinyu stroked his chin, nodding thoughtfully.
At the sa ti, he understood that this handso young man must be the so-called new suitor.
It was now ti to clock out.
Many people had already left work, and seeing the scene, they didn't rush to go ho but stopped to watch, curious about the goddess the young man was trying to win over with such an extravagant display and expense!
"Everybody's off work, why hasn't Xiao Yan co down yet?"
Mu Jinyu was puzzled but then realized that Gu Xiyan probably didn't want to co down to avoid endless pestering from the young man, which must be embarrassing and troubleso!
Taking out his phone, Mu Jinyu called Gu Xiyan.
"Hello?" Gu Xiyan answered the phone, sounding a bit irritated.
Mu Jinyu said, "Co down quickly, there's a good show to watch."
Gu Xiyan paused slightly and asked, "What good show?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she understood that Mu Jinyu was probably referring to Chen Xuyang's matter.
Gu Xiyan's face darkened, and she shouted irritably: "Mu Jinyu! What do you an? Are you here to laugh at too?"
"Not at all," Mu Jinyu quickly replied. "Hurry up and co down, there really is a good show. I am here too."
Hearing this, Gu Xiyan was still puzzled about what Mu Jinyu was up to, but she tentatively said, "Then I'm coming down. If I don't see you or any good show, you're dead, let tell you!"
