After Xi Muyao asked for a long time without getting a reply, he reached out to push and pull Yun Hu, trying to wake her up. Before he could complete his movement, the guardian god in front of him stretched out his hand to block him.

Seeing that he had tried to take action many times but was unable to find any information he wanted, although Xi Muyao was furious and worried, he had not lost his mind due to the anger. Xi Muyao snorted coldly, and threw away the man's hand with a look of extreme unhappiness.

The man looked like he was purposely provoking Yun Hu, raising his chin proudly like a victorious lion. He hugged Yun Hu even more tightly, tidied up the bottom of his clean suit, then led the unconscious Yun Hu towards the door.

Xi Muyao was enraged. He strode forward and used one hand to hold onto the man's shoulder, and with the other hand he swung his fist at the man.

He immediately tilted his head and dodged the incoming fist as he timely dodged Xi Muyao's punch. He protected Yun Hu within her own safety and then exposed a slight sneer on her face towards Xi Muyao: "President Xi, your own wife ran away, yet you're here to ask my woman?"

Xi Muyao's heart jumped, he suddenly raised his head and asked: "Who exactly are you?"

The man looked at Xi Muyao in ridicule, laughed coldly, and did not reply, but took Yun Hu and left.

Xi Muyao clenched his fists tightly. He understood in his heart that the man was only hinting at him. The matter between him and Qingli would one day become a matter of paper. The media and society would cruelly tear through this layer of paper and expose it under the spotlight, as well as the headlines in the newspapers.

At this critical moment, he could not afford to be disorderly. He had to be patient. He could not afford to lose Lu Qingli.

Besides, he couldn't afford to get into a ruckus over a whim, let alone the media. Regarding the pressure that he was about to impose, just because of Mayor Lu Jinghao's anger, even if Xi Muyao could endure it, it did not mean that Lu Qingli could.

Xi Muyao was very busy throughout the day. When he returned to his company from the smoky bar, his steps were already very tired. He staggered into his office. Ever since Qingli left, he basically did not return to his and Lin Yeyan's home, and instead chose to stay at the company. In any case, Xi Muyao had a private room in his office for him to rest and work in.

After returning to the company, Xi Muyao didn't even turn on the wall light and directly walked into the resting lounge, accompanied by the dim moonlight and the neon light that was scattered around the city by the French windows.

Xi Muyao slowly exhaled the turbid air in his chest. After returning to his domain, he finally relaxed a little and laid on the bed with his hands and feet relaxed. After a while, he was unable to sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at the sky outside the transparent glass dome.

Even at this very moment. His mind was filled with Lu Qingli's image and he could not chase her away no matter how hard he tried.

He didn't want to go back. Without Lu Qingli's house, it couldn't be called home.

Once Lu Qingli was no longer by her side, he would no longer have a home.

Xi Muyao didn't want anyone to see his helplessness.

However, when he thought about how Lu Qingli and Mu Wenshu would be together in some place that he did not know of, and how they would be in such great pain, as though they had been slashed by blades, and the blood would slowly seep into their hearts, and they would not die in a short period of time, but would still be unable to escape from the blade. This pain penetrated deep into his bones and was difficult to erase.

That was the pain Lu Qingli had given him. Because he still loved Lu Qingli dearly, it was only because Lu Qingli made such a small move that it hurt him so much.

Xi Muyao closed his eyes and allowed his exhausted consciousness to gradually dissipate under the endless entanglement and longing.

Time silently slipped away quickly, as if he had closed his eyes and opened them again, it was already the second day.

Xi Muyao drowsily spent the night, and then, unable to hide his exhaustion, he walked down the elevator.

"Darling son-in-law!" He heard a loud shout from the front. Xi Muyao raised his head, only to see a figure suddenly rushing over from the front entrance, and grabbing onto Xi Muyao's arm before anyone could react.

"The people under your command are really insensible! Look, I'm your father-in-law, the moment I see you, the receptionist still wants me to make an appointment for registration! " Xi Muyao raised his ice-cold gaze, and unsurprisingly, he saw a man in his fifties wearing a grey jacket. Looking at Xi Muyao's face, he smiled, and flattered him with a face full of wrinkles.

The security guards in the company hall saw someone rushing towards President Xi, and immediately rushed over in groups of two or three. Before this old man made a fuss, they were already standing by Xi Muyao's side, waiting for Xi Muyao's orders, and the moment Xi Muyao opened his mouth, they could immediately grab the ugly old man and throw him out of the company building.

What a joke, who didn't know that the CEO of Sio was this city's Mayor's favorite son-in-law.

Xi Muyao remained calm and collected. He merely blinked, and his dense, slightly raised eyelashes swept across his lower eyelids that had turned green due to insomnia. He reached out with an irresistible force to pry the man's hands away from his arms, then pulled his arm, indicating that he should follow him to the VIP reception room that was on the first floor.

"Anyone can enter my Sio, looks like the security personnel are going to get fresh blood!" After that, Xi Muyao's low and cold voice passed down into the deep hallway, reaching the ears of everyone present, including the old man who was being tightly grasped in his hands. Although the security guards knew that they had made a mistake, they did not dare to directly go to the President Xi's hands to snatch him away.

Assistant Xiao Wu immediately closed the door quietly after the two entered the reception room. He then vigilantly stood guard in front of the VIP room's door. "Stand guard and watch." If her guess was not wrong, that weird-looking old man was the same Lin Yeyan's father who had made trouble the last time. Although President Xi had never seen Lin Yeyan's father before, but to dare claim that she was an old friend of Xi Muyao's, who else could she be! Xiao Wu knew in his heart that the abilities of this so-called father-in-law would definitely cause trouble for the President Xi. She called Lin Yeyan to tell him to hurry over immediately in case there were any mishaps.

Lin Yeyan was still in her sleep. When Xi Muyao had not returned during the night, she hung up the phone calls from him, but she kept her eyes open and sulked, while lying on the bed. She still kept her ears open to listen for the sounds coming from the profound entrances.

However, before sleeping for long, Lin Yeyan felt her phone's ringtone restless. Lin Yeyan was woken up from her sleep, and her heart was beating rapidly as she opened her eyes. It was because of this that Lin Yeyan felt that her heartbeat could not return to normal for a good long while.

Lin Yeyan still had lingering fear in her heart, but when her breathing was smooth and no longer hurried, she finally picked up the phone.

However, this phone call immediately woke her up from head to toe, and it was as if she was splashed with cold water from head to toe. Every cell in her body was screaming and stinging. Lin Yeyan felt a burning pain from the bottom of her heart, she wanted to fly to the company and kick her damned gambling father back to his hometown.

Lin Yeyan had no choice but to endure the discomfort in her lower abdomen, and rushed to the company without stopping, but once she entered, she was led respectfully to the company's VIP reception door by the assistant Xiao Wu.

After Xiao Wu left, Lin Yeyan wiped away the sweat from her heart and listened to the activity in the reception room, but couldn't hear anything. After waiting for a while, Lin Yeyan finally could not wait any longer. To prevent any accidents, she clenched her teeth and pushed open the door.

The moment Lin Yeyan walked into the reception room, she saw Xi Muyao sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, leisurely flipping through a magazine. Then, when she heard the commotion at the door, she glanced at Lin Yeyan and continued to look at the magazine with an understanding expression. After a while, he slowly opened her mouth, "Take a seat."

Lin Yeyan didn't mind how long she had been left hanging there, after hearing Xi Murong's words, she walked over uneasily and closed the door behind her. She closed the door and forced a warm and sweet smile, and just as she wanted to rub close to Xi Muyao's side and sit down, she was stopped by a glare from Xi Muyao.

"Hubby …" After sitting down, Lin Yeyan could not help but glare fiercely at her father, and then shouted weakly to Xi Muyao.

Xi Muyao let out a cold laugh from his nose, then coldly reached out his hand and threw out a gold card. That card slid across the smooth surface of the glass in front of Lin Yeyan.

Lin Yeyan fiercely looked at her father with the blade in her eye, but her expression eased up by quite a bit. She looked at Xi Muyao gratefully, and finally thanked him with a gentle voice: "Thank you, husband!"

"Since we've gotten the money, let's head out first." Xi Muyao instructed coldly. He was clearly sitting on the sofa, but for no reason he exuded an air of superiority, causing people to not dare to say anything. After a short while, Lin Yeyan's father held onto the gold card tightly, she smiled and nodded at Xi Muyao, and laughed: "My son-in-law is truly generous! Ha ha-ha ha, now we finally have some money! The two of you chat, I won't bother you anymore! You guys chat! "I'll go first, uh …"

As he said this, he had the intention of immediately sprinting to the casino, but even if his son-in-law didn't say anything, he still couldn't leave.

When Lin Yeyan's father mentioned the two words "son-in-law", Xi Muyao frowned slightly, his miniscule movements had still fallen into the eyes of Lin Yeyan, who had been paying attention to him the entire time.

Lin Yeyan sensed Xi Muyao's disdain, and immediately bit her lips angrily and glared at his father. She then said angrily: "You can go back now! "Don't come back in the future!"

When Lin Yeyan's father heard her daughter scolding him like this, she immediately lost face. As he awkwardly laughed and retreated towards the door, she unrestrainedly muttered: "What kind of attitude is this, I raised you to such a big age, how about I ask you to spend a bit of money?! Look at my son-in-law, he doesn't say anything, why are you so angry at me, you damned girl! " He swore as he walked out the door.

Although his daughter displeased him, he did not have the time to care about that. He had already gotten the money, so he had to pay back the gambling debts he owed! The money that Lin Yeyan had given him last time was not little, but it was a pity that he lost it all without paying attention. This time, his son-in-law must have given him more money. With these chips, he could play for a few more days!

Once Father Lin left, only Xi Muyao and Lin Yeyan remained in the reception room. Xi Muyao did not say anything, he only took out a card from his money pouch and signaled Lin Yeyan to take it.

Lin Yeyan felt unease in her heart, as though something was about to happen. She pretended not to understand what Xi Muyao was trying to say, and nervously shook her head to reject, and reluctantly smiled to him: "Hubby, the card that you gave me before still has money … …"

Xi Muyao shook his head and placed the card on the table lightly. He then leaned forward slightly and pushed the card in front of Lin Yeyan. This card is worth ten million. "

Lin Yeyan suddenly opened her eyes wide, and muttered: "Hubby …" She was worried about her guess.
