Murong Shaoyang was not addicted to cigarettes and rarely smoked, but at any moment he would have a pack of cigarettes on him. However, the cigarettes he had on him were just a packet of 10 yuan that could be bought anywhere in Zhongnanhai. It was a sharp contrast to his worth and status, so no one could see through his heart.

Outsiders only knew that he was the Young Master of the Murong’s Group, the only son of the old chairman, a celebrity in the industry, a prodigal son among flowers. However, no one knew that he was just a street hoodlum.

He had no parents and no relatives. He only had ten Zhongnanhai dollars with him. At that time, he had been a luxury item and was the only family member that had accompanied him through those years.

Seventeen, taken away by a rich man who said he was his father.

It turned out that he was just a cheap illegitimate child, because this idealistic and traditional father could not even give birth to a son. His status soared, from a poor illegitimate child to the current president of the Murong’s Group.

The cigarette in his hand was extinguished, and the world once again sank into darkness …

Warm water sprayed out from Hua Sa Lin's head. Mu Jinxi buried herself in the rain mist as images of the two of them intertwined appeared in her mind. She couldn't get rid of them no matter how hard she tried.

His entire body was filled with that man's scent and traces. No matter how he washed it, he couldn't wash it off.

She couldn't have fallen in love with him, right? Mu Jinxi was shocked by her own thoughts. Absolutely impossible.

Mu Jinxi opened the wardrobe and realised that most of the clothes were ladies', with only a few men's suits, she thought to herself: "This man is really old-fashioned, going to and from work are all strict work clothes, but she doesn't have any proper clothes."

All kinds of styles and styles were displayed in the wardrobe. Naturally, they were all expensive famous brands. It seemed that he often carried it in his office. It was too shameless.

She was inexplicably angry, and angrily fiddled with the clothes in the wardrobe. In the end, he chose one. It was a milky-white pleated skirt. No matter if it was work, cut, or upper body effects, they were all first-class. The hem of the skirt was not short nor long, and with the smooth layers, it was just right.

The retracting effect at her waist was excellent, perfectly displaying her slim waist. A streak of pink and white flowers slanted down on her chest, giving her ample breasts the best line. A small black suit with long sleeves instantly transformed Mu Jinxi from Cinderella into Snow White.

He didn't choose this piece of clothing because it looked good or because he liked it. It was the only piece of clothing that could cover up his tracks. Although the beautiful pieces are so beautiful, if you don't show your thighs, you either show your wife enough, or you expose your back. Only this piece of clothing could cover up the marks on his body even more.

When Mu Jinxi came out of the bathroom, the curtains in front of the large window had already been pulled all the way open. Murong Shaoyang faced the window, standing alone in the middle of the city. Outside the window, there were many tall buildings, dazzling rainbows, and many people were walking in and out of the window, distancing themselves from him. Far away...

Looking at that tall and lonely back, Mu Jinxi couldn't help but walk towards him. She thought she was crazy, and for a moment she wanted to hug him. In the end, reason triumphs over sensibility. Logic told her that this man in front of her was not a good person, and didn't need your sympathy. He was just a demon that ate people without spitting out their bones.

But she didn't want to disturb him, so just like that, Murong Shaoyang looked outside the window and Mu Jinxi looked at Murong Shaoyang …

"Aren't you hungry?" Murong Shaoyang's low voice came out, and was no longer overbearing.

The moment she turned around, Mu Jinxi seemed to see the loneliness in Murong Shaoyang's eyes. It was a very short period of time that passed in a flash, and it was so fast that Mu Jinxi couldn't catch it.

Murong Shaoyang, on the other hand, was attracted by Mu Jinxi. Anyone who followed him would know that he liked sexy and mature clothes, so his disguises would always be in this direction. Mu Jinxi actually took out a princess robe from inside. The corner of Murong Shaoyang's mouth raised slightly. Although she didn't say anything, her breathtaking eyes made Mu Jinxi very satisfied.

"Yes, I'm hungry." After saying that, even Mu Jinxi herself was stunned. This atmosphere and tone was definitely wrong, as if she was a man and a woman in deep love. The two of them were clearly enemies.

"Let's go!" Murong Shaoyang arrogantly stopped Mu Jinxi's slender waist. A force that could not be refused.

Mu Jinxi could only obediently follow him as he walked out. "Where to?"

"Outside!"

"Ah?"

The door to the CEO's office, which had been tightly shut for the entire day, finally opened.

"Young Master Murong." The sudden appearance of a secretary startled Mu Jinxi.

"Yes."

"Since you didn't attend today's dinner, the Director of the Bureau of Lands didn't go. Director Hai is calling to hope that you can recover to your full health and pay a visit today." The secretary followed in their footsteps and reported to them.

"Yes." Although Murong Shaoyang only replied with one word, the feeling of having everything within his grasp was something that Mu Jinxi felt deep inside.

"Today, the sales department made a unified report on the pre-sale of the patio garden. The report has been sent to your mailbox. "

"Today, Manager Lin from the Planning Department would like you to give her a call after work."

"Got it." Mu Jinxi, who was completely ignored by the Miss Secretary, secretly replied, "Off duty? A man like him knows what it's like to go to and from work and be ashamed to see a secretary. She turned her body to the side and hid in Murong Shaoyang's embrace.

"Liu Yanyan, Miss Liu, Miss Qiu Yue and Miss Du Xuan have called to ask if we can have dinner together. I pushed away the idea of working overtime."

"Well done!"

"Thank you, Young Master Murong. "The Deputy Chief Guan Zhe informed me that there is a problem with the purchasing plan of the China Heaven District. Luckily, Director Guan said that he can solve it himself, but it should be related to the Liu family."

Hearing Liu Family, Murong Shaoyang suddenly stopped in his tracks, narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Jinxi, causing him to be at a complete loss.

Mu Jinxi did not know, but the secretary understood that this was an expression of danger. She had said something that she shouldn't have.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Murong." The secretary's nervous palms were about to break out into a sweat.

"It's fine. You can go back first." The voice that suddenly became cold made even Mu Jinxi feel a trace of coldness.

"Yes, Young Master Murong!" The secretary left with a sigh of relief.

"Let's go!" Murong Shaoyang's face suddenly became cold, Mu Jinxi could clearly feel it.

"What's the matter with you?" She really didn't care. She just asked out of habit.

"What are you blabbering about!?" Get in the car. Don't expect the great beauty Mu Rong to open the door for you in a gentleman's way. Please get in the car.

"What are you waiting for if you aren't going to get on the car?" Murong Shaoyang who was already in the car shouted to the stunned Mu Jinxi.

"Humph!" Mu Jinxi could not stand his cold stare and turned to leave.

Murong Shaoyang looked at Mu Jinxi's leaving figure. No one knew what she was thinking, but in the end, she didn't chase after her.

When Mu Jinxi saw the figure of Murong Shaoyang leaving the car, her tears fell uncontrollably. She seemed to have returned home.

Her rumbling stomach finally reminded her that she hadn't eaten in a day, it was too late. The bus had long since stopped, so she had no choice but to call. She found out that she had changed her clothes after fumbling in her pockets. Her bag was also left in Murong Shaoyang's office. He was now penniless.

Mu Jinxi's place would take an hour to get to the company.

The Murong’s Building sank into darkness. Mu Jinxi didn't like the darkness being so lonely as to leave in a hurry.

The nightlife in T City was fascinating, but there were very few people coming and going like this.

Looking at the couples coming and going, and the warm decorations everywhere, he realized that it was yet another Seventh-Day Festival. A beautiful Chinese Valentine's Day.

In the past, at this time, Ouyang Che would take her on a hand in hand walk through the largest street in T City and buy a basket of roses for the flower girls. Then, Mu Jinxi would point at Ouyang Che's nose and yell at him. He would take a basket of roses and pretend to leave. Ouyang Che would run over and coax her, "To be broke for your own wife, I am honorable, and proud!"

Every year was seventy, every year was like this, and this year, there were too many changes that caught her off guard.

No matter how beautiful Valentine's Day was, she was alone. She had no target, no money, and she was starving.

Looking at the bustling couples who passed by, Mu Jinxi sat on the stairs by the side of the road and buried her head deep in her knees. She did not want anyone to see her embarrassment and vulnerability. The shaking of her shoulders betrayed her.

"Lady! "Miss?" The old man beside him shouted to Mu Jinxi.

"Great lord …" Mu Jinxi raised her head. Her red and swollen eyes made him look even more pitiful.

"Miss, what's wrong? The ground is cold, don't sit on it."

It was only then that Mu Jinxi noticed the alluring aroma of sweet potatoes coming from the iron stove beside the old man. Mu Jinxi swallowed her saliva, and couldn't help but look towards the steaming sweet potato.

The old man chuckled as he wrapped a sweet potato and passed it to her. " "Here, eat."

"No need, sir." Mu Jinxi quickly declined. I... I don't have any money. " She sounded a bit embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'll treat you. We were fated to meet here." The grandpa chuckled.

"Thank you!" Mu Jinxi carefully took the sweet potato and began to eat it.

Murong Shaoyang was currently in a bad mood. He kept driving with no destination in mind. The car stopped at the T City Bridge. Facing the wind, the smoke in his hands burned even faster. Murong Shaoyang hated this kind of darkness and loneliness. He hated it a lot, but he had no choice.

He had to take on the family that looked down on him, and be a rake without true feelings. In the eyes of others, he was undoubtedly an outstanding and successful person, but he didn't know that everything about him was in the hands of others.

Mu Jinxi's image had always been engraved in her mind, and would not go away no matter how hard she tried.

He could not have ideals, nor could he have love. Everything depended on the family for a living. Thinking of Mu Jinxi's frown, her expression, and her anger, he really wanted to wantonly indulge himself once.

Throwing away the cigarette in his hand, Murong Shaoyang thought to himself. Right now, she didn't know what he was doing, but he couldn't help but call the number that he had already saved up.

The lonely cell phone in the Murong’s Group's CEO's office was glowing.

Murong Shaoyang hung up the phone, his eyebrows knitted together, why didn't he pick up the phone? I'm home, I still have matters to attend to …
