“I think my injury is better now . It's close to the year end and the company's going to go on a break . A lot of work has piled up in the office so I want to go back to work tomorrow . May I submit the proposal for the South River project later?”
Xi Xiaye frowned and looked at him as he remained silent . She then said, “The year-end holiday runs for about half a month and the team is still in a mess at the moment…”
Mu Yuchen did not reply to her immediately . He transferred the fried eggs with tomatoes from the pan to a plate . As he did not look at her the whole time, Xi Xiaye only got more and more anxious .
Apart from being worried about the piling up work, she really disliked always staying at home . It made her feel empty and she had an odd sense of suffocation .
“Mu Yuchen…”
Xi Xiaye rapped her knuckles on the cool kitchen counter when he did not reply . “Shouldn't you be happy that your company has such a dedicated employee like me?”
“The South River project can be delayed, but are you sure that you'll be fine?”
Mu Yuchen glanced at her . He knew what she was thinking about . “You can stay at home to prepare the project . I've asked Vice President Liu to take care of your work for now, so you don't have to worry . If you push further, then I'll take the South River project back from you . ”
Directly, he was declining Xi Xiaye's request .
Xi Xiaye felt defeated when he left no room for discussion . She glared at him unhappily as the smell of the food entered her nostrils . Without caring about elegance, she pinched a piece of the omelet with her fingers and chomped it down .
Mu Yuchen threw her an odd look .
“What are you looking at? It's plain and not tasty at all!” She then picked up a slice of tomato and ate it while looking pointedly at Mu Yuchen .
Mu Yuchen was unfazed . This woman would become unreasonable when she started to get mad . She would definitely mess with anyone if one got serious with her .
He just shot her a glance and then continued making the second dish .
“I met Su Nan today . She's my best friend and has always taken care of me . I told her about us being married . Do find some time so you two can meet . ”
Xi Xiaye stopped making a fuss when he did not say anything . In her head, she did not forget about Su Nan's reminder which she had repeated over and over again .
“Does she want to see who's so unlucky to have married to a silly foodie?”
Mu Yuchen threw her a glance as he continued to fry the potato slices in the pan .
Xi Xiaye sulked when she heard him . “Why're you making it sound like a bad deal marrying me? I'm a modern lady… A fair, rich, and beautiful woman! Who are you calling a silly foodie?”
“You need to train longer to lure me into your trap, but it won't ever work on me . ” Mu Yuchen scanned Xi Xiaye with his eyes as if he was looking at an idiot .
He was the one who would trap others . Whoever could trap him?
A fair, rich, and beautiful woman?
Well, if she was serious, she was pretty cute .
“I'm stating a fact . I was the school idol back then, and now I have a stable job with income of over a million . I'm a strong woman who doesn't depend on others…”
Xi Xiaye did not continue any further because the man was staring at her with a surprised gaze . She felt creeped out and stopped talking .
“Missus, I think you're very much alike something when you feel very good about yourself . Do you want to know what?” Mu Yuchen gave it some thought and then said calmly .
“Like what?” Xi Xiaye became curious .
“An idiot . ” Mu Yuchen averted his gaze back to the potato slices after the short reply . A grin appeared on his face and he was stifling his laughter .
Xi Xiaye's expression froze . She reacted after a slight delay and could not hold in her anger anymore . In her temper, she flung the bouquet of flowers in her hand towards Mu Yuchen . “You're the idiot! You're the foodie! Don't think I'll be afraid of you just because you're the Chairman…”
Mu Yuchen shook his head at her wild behavior . He smiled and then held onto the bouquet she had thrown at him . Grabbing her body and holding her in his arms, he restrained her against himself .
“That's enough . If you continue to mess around, our dinner won't even be ready when midnight comes . You can arrange a meeting with your friend . Isn't Emperor Entertainment City open to the public already? Bring her there for some shopping . Put all your spending under my name… On second thought, I'll get you a supplementary card later, so you can get whatever you want with it . ”
“Then, do you want to meet Su Nan? We can have a meal . She's probably getting married to her boyfriend soon and they're both good friends of mine . We're bound to meet sooner or later,” Xi Xiaye raised her head from his arms and looked at him as she asked .
“Mmm, you can go ahead and arrange it . Let's have dinner with them in the next two days or so,” Mu Yuchen replied after giving it some thought .
“Alright then . I know you're busy with several projects in City S . We'll do it this Saturday then . What do you think?” She tilted her head and suggested a time .
“Sure, I have time this weekend . ” Mu Yuchen nodded .
“I'll give Su Nan a call now then . Also, I think these flowers look pretty and I'll give them to you now . I'll take the dishes out! Be quick with the rest . I'm really hungry!”
She then backed away from Mu Yuchen and left the kitchen with the two dishes he had prepared .
Mu Yuchen stared at the bouquet of blue roses after she left the kitchen . Several blue petals had fallen onto the floor because of her aggressive movement just now…
