In the evening, Mu Jinxuan went home alone. Just as he opened the door, his phone rang. He glanced at the contact person above and saw that it was Jing Chenxiao. Without thinking much, he immediately pressed the answer button, and before his thin lips opened, he heard Jing Chenxiao's cold words: "You're home?"

He put one hand behind his head and laid his long legs flat on the bed. He lazily leaned on the bed, enjoying the morning sun bathing. Even though her words to Mu Jinxuan were ice-cold, the bottom of her eyes revealed a little concern.

"Yes, prepare some food later."

Mu Jinxuan closed the door, walked to the sofa in the room, and casually sat down. His gaze shifted to outside the window, looking at the clouds that were dissipating. The night scene enveloped the entire sky. The surroundings seemed exceptionally quiet, allowing the restlessness in her heart to somewhat calm down.

It was unknown whether it was due to the influence of the environment or the change in Mu Jinxuan's state of mind due to her situation, which resulted in her attitude towards Jing Chenxiao becoming a lot better. There was even a hint of joy in his tone, and his fear was immediately eased by quite a bit.

"Why are you in a good mood today?"

Even though he was separated by the phone's screen, Jing Chenxiao could feel Mu Jinxuan's emotions. This was a rare occasion for Jing Chenxiao to not continue maintaining his cold and detached attitude. It was unknown if it was due to her intentionally paying attention to him, or if it was because of the allure of fate, that Jing Chenxiao subconsciously wanted to ask.

Mu Jinxuan very naturally thought back to the miserable scene in Yue Min's mind as she chattered on and on, sharing the joy in her heart. Although he was daydreaming, he was very sure that Yue Min's fate would be like this.

She did not notice that Jing Chenxiao, who was listening on the other side of the phone today, seemed to be exceptionally calm, causing her to unconsciously let out even more words. The fear in his heart was dissipating unceasingly. He didn't even notice that this conversation had lasted for several tens of minutes longer than usual.

Jing Chenxiao who was lazily lying on the bed looked at the ceiling in front of him, and he secretly took note of Mu Jinxuan's words in his heart. The corner of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a lazy smile. Even he himself didn't notice it.

He had initially treated Mu Jinxuan as a plaything, but now that he was in such a predicament, it seemed like there was something unconsciously changing. Was it his state of mind or that indescribable attraction?

The two of them were in the same world once, so it was very natural for them to listen to each other's words without any quarrels. The atmosphere between the two of them seemed to have become a lot warmer. A strange feeling flowed in their hearts, but neither of them paid much attention to it.

On the second day, Shan He's secretary informed Du Yanqing's secretary about the plan through the documents, and deliberately made a contract with Du Yanqing to sign it.

The moment the secretary received the news, he immediately pushed open the door and walked in front of Du Yanqing's desk to report according to the time and place on the computer. As soon as she finished speaking, she opened her mouth and spoke lightly: "Director Du, our trip is no problem. I wonder if you have any private matters?"

Du Yanqing, who had no objections, glanced at the notebook on his phone, shook his head and replied to the secretary, then waved his hand to signal her to leave. He checked the more important documents on his desk and asked his secretary to return to the departments to reorganize the proposal.

Three days later, when the time came, Du Yanqing arrived at a famous restaurant in the country and signed a contract with Shan He. The process was extremely smooth. The moment Du Yanqing walked out of the private room, he shook hands with Shan He, signalling for them to agree to a gentleman's agreement. They even spoke a few courteous words: "Wishing us a pleasant cooperation!"

Coincidentally, someone had taken a photo of this scene and uploaded it to the forum. Because of the relationship between Du Yanqing and Sun Jiangyuan, many people started to compare the Sun Family with the Yanqing Company. And also from this moment onwards, Sun Jiangyuan's Sun Family and Du Yanqing's Yanqing Company began to be opposites.

Within the Sun Family Group, Sun Jiangyuan accidentally went online and saw a piece of news that was intentionally spread out by many people. He slammed his palm on the table, causing the documents on it to slightly tremble. The pen fell to the ground with a crisp sound. At this moment, his originally calm face turned somewhat gloomy. A cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and his entire body began to emit a furious aura.

The secretary, who was reporting the situation at the market, immediately shut his mouth and lowered his gaze. He felt a faint tingling sensation on his scalp. His weak heart trembled slightly from the slap. He felt extremely uneasy and wanted to retreat. The hand holding the document also trembled slightly from the sound of the pen falling.

"Get out!"

The stinging sensation on his palm caused Sun Jiangyuan's emotions to temporarily stabilize. When he lifted his head, he coincidentally saw the trembling secretary.

He leaned back against the back of his chair, closed his eyes slightly, and listened for the sound of his secretary leaving. There was a fire burning in his chest, but it was as if something was pressing down on him. He could not get out, nor could he go down. This made him feel very uncomfortable.

After a while, Sun Jiangyuan opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. He picked up the phone and called Du Yanqing. In that instant, a sinister look flashed past Sun Jiangyuan's eyes, and the hand holding the phone suddenly tightened, as if he had confirmed something.

Inside the Yanqing Company, Du Yanqing had just finished an urgent discussion and was preparing to wait for the operator to call, when her phone suddenly rang, interrupting her work. He glanced at the connection on the screen and hung up without hesitation.

"What are you doing?"

Not long after, Sun Jiangyuan called again. This made Du Yanqing very frustrated, but he couldn't intentionally hang up. Unhappily frowning, he pressed the answer button and coldly asked.

"Come out and we'll meet."

Sun Jiangyuan didn't have any request, but instead gave a very natural command. He treated Du Yanqing as a tool and never gave Du Yanqing a chance to think about it.

Du Yanqing, who did not want to pay any attention to Sun Jiangyuan, coldly warned her before hanging up. Without showing any mercy, she switched her phone to silence.

In the next second, the secretary walked in with a revised plan and placed it on the table in front of Du Yanqing. Her fingertip just happened to touch Du Yanqing's phone that was shaking non-stop. She glanced at the phone number and quickly memorized it, then turned and walked out of the office.
