Returning to the Murong’s once again was a good thing but also a bad thing for Mu Jinxi. She never thought that she would one day return to the Murong’s because of her work and meet Murong Shaoyang again in this way. She even more never thought that Murong Shaoyang would actually not forget about her for the past ten years. He was even so arrogant that he would take the initiative to ask her to stay.

In Mu Jinxi's world, asking Murong Shaoyang to open his mouth to beg was even harder than letting him bleed. However, this miracle still happened.

Mu Jinxi had suspected what Murong Shaoyang had said before. His cold decisiveness ten years ago had already completely hurt her heart. That year, she had decided to leave and never thought of coming back.

Although it was not easy for him to be alone while sshe brought Mu Beibei while he wandered the streets, Mu Jinxi had no choice but to admit that when she saw his son's tiny version of Murong Shaoyang's face, all of his grievances and grievances were worth it. Now that she was back, everything had changed.

Mu Jinxi originally wanted to let the past follow the wind, but when she heard the news that Ouyang Che and Liu Yanyan were not married, although she was shocked, it was still within her expectations. Hearing that Murong Shaoyang was going to marry Liu Yanyan, her heart trembled violently, but it was only for a moment. After so many years of grinding and tempering, she had long since been able to remain calm and collected.

Just as Murong Shaoyang's eyes were red and quietly begged her not to leave, the heart that was poured with iron suddenly crumbled.

Should I trust him? Mu Jinxi didn't know, and she couldn't be sure if she should even give him a chance. She only knew that Murong Shaoyang had indeed been kind and considerate towards her these past few days, and that he would be able to completely move her on small matters of any kind.

Even though Mu Jinxi had convinced herself time and time again that it was because this kind of small feeling was too gentle and constant, and because she was too used to being strong and strong by herself, that was why she had such a soft expression. However, her rationality was still not enough to contend with the truth within her heart. Her true love, which she had been slow to realize back then, was now mixed together with her emotions, causing Mu Jinxi to fiercely waver.

Should he reveal Mu Beibei's existence? Mu Jinxi secretly looked at Murong Shaoyang and thought that she should have told him, since she was his flesh and blood. However, Mu Jinxi was unable to tell him about this matter even after opening her mouth a few times.

She didn't know what she was afraid of, but she felt that if she said something, it would change.

Never mind, Mu Jinxi thought, she would first take care of matters at work with a peace of mind. After all, this collaboration was a big project, both of the enterprises had high expectations for it.

Let's settle this first, then think about how to solve this big trouble called Murong Shaoyang. If he was sincere towards his, then he wouldn't mind leaving this secret that couldn't be considered a secret for his to uncover at the very end.

"Little Xi, let's eat together." The gentle voice that Murong Shaoyang whispered into Mu Jinxi's ear brought the dazed Mu Jinxi back to her senses. She let out an "ah" and looked at the time. It was already lunch time, and after he mentioned it, she felt a little hungry.

She was somewhat hesitant. She didn't know whether she should eat with him or not, or whether she should let him have this further development.

"What, no appetite?" Seeing her not replying for a long time, Murong Shaoyang frowned and asked with concern. He threw away the document in his hand and quickly walked in front of her, worriedly watching her expression. Mu Jinxi's face immediately turned red, and he quickly turned his head away.

"You don't look too good, I didn't know where your thoughts went just now. Are you sick? " Mu Jinxi did not reply. Murong Shaoyang was a little anxious, he sighed and said: "Let's go to the doctor first. You might be too tired recently, so you don't need to follow the rest of the work.

"I can do it!" Mu Jinxi turned around and told Murong Shaoyang resolutely, "I'm fine, nothing happened to me."

Murong Shaoyang obviously did not believe her words, but after staring at her for a while, the little lady looked at him with an unyielding gaze, causing him to finally compromise.

"Alright then." He said, "We... Going to eat? "

Mu Jinxi wanted to reject him, but she couldn't find any reason to. She could only nod her head and agree. Chen Shaoyang's face immediately revealed a joyful expression, as if he himself also felt that this expression was a little too obvious. Thus, he used an even more obvious cough to cover up his expression.

Mu Jinxi could not help but laugh at his actions. Murong Shaoyang immediately turned and left, ignoring him.

In the dining hall downstairs, Mu Jinxi was completely casual, so Murong Shaoyang had a bit less of each taste. When the dishes were served, Murong Shaoyang helped her prepare them in a very attentive manner.

"Look at how listless you've been lately. You must not have eaten anything good. Everyone has lost a lot of weight. In the worst case scenario, after this collaboration ends, your boss might even blame me. " He laughed as he talked to himself, because if he didn't, he would feel a little awkward. He wanted to be good to Mu Jinxi, but he didn't know what kind of method to use.

Murong Shaoyang had to admit that his usual principles and demeanor had completely disappeared without a trace when it came to Mu Jinxi. As long as he saw her, he could only surrender.

"I remember this one. And this one, this one." Mu Jinxi watched Murong Shaoyang continuously scoop food into his own bowl, unable to describe the taste in his heart. Back then, he was a little distant to the point of being indifferent to his. Even though he was not nice enough to stick by his cold butt, the ostracism of being excluded by her colleagues and being ignored by him had caused his entire dignity to fall to the bottom.

Now that he had let go of his status and 'served' her, even if he wasn't overwhelmed by the favor, it was still a bit hard to believe.

If she could repeat the time, would she still choose to give birth to Mu Beibei? Mu Jinxi drank the soup in small mouthfuls and could not help but ask herself.

If it wasn't for Murong Shaoyang's tyranny back then, which forced him to stay by his side, the two of them wouldn't have felt any strong feelings of affection towards each other, and naturally wouldn't have suffered such deep-seated pain. However, it was precisely because of that deep pain that such an unforgettable memory had appeared. Being able to give birth to Mu Beibei was perhaps the wisest decision that Mu Jinxi had made in his life.

Not only did Bei Bei look like him, even the way he spoke and the way he raised his eyebrows were exactly the same. It was always able to affect Mu Jinxi's mental state, making her recall over and over again that her life, which was not very bright, had a brilliant and cold luster.

Murong Shaoyang seemed to enjoy the rare time he had with Mu Jinxi. After all, everything that had happened that year had been tiring, and although the Murong’s had been here for a few years, there were not many seniors left. Even if they knew something, they would wisely choose not to speak.

Mu Jinxi was only here to cooperate with the Murong’s on behalf of the company. She did not want to show how much he cared about her, but her heart would involuntarily want to get close to her. She wanted to know how she was doing, what she was doing, what she was thinking.

Every time she got close, she had to keep an eye out, afraid of scaring her away. When he asked her out, he always wanted to find a good reason, or he wanted her to drag him along with her.

Murong Shaoyang knew that if it wasn't for his attitude and Mu Jinxi's pretense of blankness today, this lunch might not have ended up as a reunion between the two of them.

It was unknown if it was because of the smile on Murong Shaoyang's lips, but Mu Jinxi felt less uncomfortable. Although Murong Shaoyang rarely made eye contact with her, he would always lower his head when Mu Jinxi sneaked a peek at him.

However, he was even so enchanting when he lowered his head, that Mu Jinxi was always infatuated with him when she accidentally looked at him. Actually, even without raising his head, Murong Shaoyang could still feel her small movements. He had been suppressing his excitement in his heart, and did not dare to show it. He wanted to laugh, but could only pretend that nothing had happened.

Mu Jinxi felt that she had eaten this meal very comfortably, and the two of them slowly started to have words that they didn't have any nutrition for, making her feel like they were back in her student days.

However, this tranquil and tranquil time could not be maintained for long. Every time this happened, there would be someone disturbing the situation. Just as the two of them were chatting happily, a person suddenly interrupted with an unfriendly tone.

"Oh, isn't this the Young Master Murong? I was sitting over there the whole time and didn't dare to come over to acknowledge him."

Hearing the voice, the two of them looked up at the same time, only to see Chen Kai looking at the two of them with a smirk on his face, his gaze towards Mu Jinxi was filled with ridicule. For some reason, when Mu Jinxi was looked at by him in such a manner, she felt as if she had done something shameful, and her heart instantly became flustered.

Seeing that it was him, Murong Shaoyang stood up and patted his shoulder, and laughed: "What, is there something on my face that you don't recognize?"

Chen Kai did not respond to Murong Shaoyang's joke. He stared at Mu Jinxi for a while more before turning around and asking, "I didn't know that Young Master Murong Judge, who had always been busy with official matters, would also be in the mood to chat with others."

The smile on Murong Shaoyang's face stiffened, but he still calmly said: "I was just out for a meal with my colleagues. I finally managed to catch my breath, you don't want me to stay around the company twenty-four hours a day right? Wouldn't that be exhausting me? Even Iron Man wouldn't be able to do it. "

He tilted his head and glanced at Mu Jinxi, then leaned close to Chen Kai and whispered: "You wouldn't be thinking that there's something between her and me, right?" Chen Kai, whose thoughts had been directly stabbed, didn't know how to respond for a moment. He didn't know what was going on between the two of them, but the moment he saw Mu Jinxi sitting opposite to him, a tender emotion that even she herself didn't notice appeared in his eyes, Chen Kai's heart immediately and fiercely ached.

He didn't know what was driving him, but when he came back to his senses, he had already walked up to the two of them and said those words.

"Better not." Chen Kai muttered and fiercely glared at him. "Don't forget that my sister is the best person for you. We're already getting married, so stop fooling around with other girls here." Murong Shaoyang's eyes flashed, but he still smiled and said "No way".

Chen Kai looked at Mu Jinxi again, wanting to say something to her, but he didn't know where to start. Mu Jinxi lowered her head, she looked like a small bird attached to a human, causing a fire to surge out from the bottom of her heart.

"Forget it, I believe you brat wouldn't dare to do something that would let my sister down. Hurry up and pack up, go back to work. Talking idly would waste a great amount of time!" After saying that, she waved her hand and walked away without even turning his head back. At the instant she turned around, Mu Jinxi raised his head and looked at his back that seemed to be fleeing in panic.

However, when facing Murong Shaoyang and Chen Kai, what she was more concerned about was Chen Kai's words, "My sister is your true daughter, and they are both going to get married soon. Don't be fooling around with other girls here". Chen Kai could clearly see that the relationship between the two of them was not normal, but he could not find conclusive evidence, so he could only use these words to provoke Murong Shaoyang. However, Murong Shaoyang's blurry attitude caused him to be injured once again.

In that moment, Mu Jinxi felt that she was just an underground lover who would never be able to see the light of day. She would never be able to stand by Murong Shaoyang's side and reveal her identity.

It was like this ten years ago, and it was still the same ten years later. She, Mu Jinxi, would always be the loser!

Just like now, when he said that he could break off the engagement for her, he could do nothing for her as long as she returned to his side. But when Chen Kai was in front of him, he didn't waver and still chose Chen Rui. No matter how foolish Mu Jinxi was, he understood.

Heh, looking at himself, how laughable. From a slut that was scolded by tens of thousands of people, to the third person that would be criticized by tens of thousands of people today.

What was the point in continuing like this?

Thinking about it, Mu Jinxi took a deep breath, stood up and left. Murong Shaoyang still did not understand what was happening. He immediately pulled Mu Jinxi who was about to leave: "Where are you going?"

Mu Jinxi shook off the hand that was holding onto his arm, turned her head and did not look at him, saying: "I need to go back to work, in case I waste my time."

Murong Shaoyang laughed: "Is it because of Chen Kai's words? He's just like that, don't take it to heart, he's joking. " Mu Jinxi did not want to bother with him. might not be very clear about the relationship between Murong Shaoyang and her, but he was also unsure of how Murong Shaoyang's personality had changed over the years. But after being together with Chen Kai for so long, more or less knew what kind of temper he had.

"Are you angry with me?" Seeing that she did not answer, Murong Shaoyang asked. Mu Jinxi still did not look at him, but his tone had softened: "No."

"That's it." Murong Shaoyang sighed as he looked at her, not knowing how to explain it to him. Being engaged with Chen Rui was originally a stopgap measure. If he did not borrow the Chen family's power, then his stepmother would take charge, and all his efforts would be in vain.

From start to finish, this marriage was a commercial marriage filled with benefits. If Mu Jinxi did not appear, then this would continue for her entire life. Watching over a person you don't love, you can still go and enjoy life. But unfortunately, Mu Jinxi this guy came back.

Murong Shaoyang really wanted to pretend that he didn't see her, wanted to finish this engagement, even if he had to endure for a year or so to stabilize himself, divorce him, then marry Mu Jinxi. Logically, he should have done so, but the moment he saw her, all the principles were forgotten.

However, could he tell her straightforwardly that this was clearly a scheme? Of course not! Murong Shaoyang had a headache, he did not know what to do, and at a time like this, he could only choose to stay silent.

Mu Xiangxi had calmed down and waited for him to explain, but after waiting for a long time, she still couldn't find Mu Rong Shaoyang to say a single word. When she went to see him, his face was tense as if he were angry, but he refused to say a word.

Mu Jinxi's heart instantly went cold, so it turns out that in your heart, I'm only this much. You won't even give me an explanation, not even if it's a lie. What is there to talk about between us?

"Murong Shaoyang, it seems like Yue Lao must have tied the knot between the two of us in our previous life. I thought you'd changed. Funny. I'm laughing at myself. It was a joke from the beginning to the end. "

"Murong Shaoyang looked at her with a little anger. There was broken despair in his eyes, which made him even more annoyed. "You don't understand. You don't understand anything."

"Yes, I don't understand!" But did you let me understand, did you give me a chance? Murong Shaoyang, in your world, I am only the shadow of a small corner. Sometimes, if you see me play around with me, you won't be able to see me and you might even get annoyed. I'm so amused at myself. " He felt ashamed, angry, and amused at the thought of what had happened to him before.

His steeled heart had never been so clear before. Now, it was time for retribution. His heart was mercilessly smashed into the ground until not even the dregs could be found. Mu Jinxi, are you happy? Are you satisfied!

The more Mu Jinxi misunderstood, the more furious she became. He hatefully looked at Mu Jinxi and grinded her teeth, "I will not allow anyone to casually guess at my world and my thoughts, including yours! Naturally, I have my reasons for doing what I do. It is not my duty to tell you everything I am thinking, and you also have secrets that I do not know, right? Mu Jinxi, don't think too highly of yourself. You're right, you are the kind of thing that can be left when summoned. If I, Murong Shaoyang likes it, what can you do to me? "

After he finished speaking, he ignored the sorrowful look that appeared on Mu Jinxi's face for a moment, and then left. Mu Jinxi looked at Murong Shaoyang's resolute back, and at that moment, his heart felt like it was on the verge of dying, the feeling was even stronger than before. If there really was no hope, then there would be no disappointment. Thus, there would be no despair. If she hadn't harboured that kind of longing for Murong Shaoyang back then, then today, her heart wouldn't be so sad.

Mu Jinxi did not cry. Her tears could no longer express her current feelings. She had even gotten used to Murong Shaoyang's outburst, and felt that it should be like this.

Then, after everything is over, we can leave. To another place, no matter where, it would be better than the Murong’s.
