"Alright."

She hoped it wasn't an illusion.

"Tomorrow afternoon."

Su Qi lifted her head and replied seriously.

"Tomorrow afternoon?"

Mu Xiaochen's pupils slightly twitched, a dark look flashing past them.

The conversation regarding cooperation with Shen seemed to be held tomorrow afternoon as well.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Mu Xiaochen's expression, Su Qi felt a trace of unease and carefully asked.

Afraid that something would happen to Mu Xiaochen, she hoped that he would accompany her back home.

"Nothing, wait for me at home tomorrow afternoon. I'll come back and pick you up." Mu Xiaochen said lightly, "Nothing, don't worry."

Su Qi stared blankly at Mu Xiaochen.

She had always known that Mu Xiaochen was good-looking, but every time she met Mu Xiaochen's eyes, they would always be charmed. She really liked Mu Xiaochen's gentle look, as if she was the only person she could be in his eyes.

After hesitating for a few minutes, Su Qi awkwardly retracted her gaze.

There was even a trace of misconception that Mu Xiaochen and himself were in the same dream.

"Alright."

Su Qi laughed and replied, "Then I will ask for a leave of absence tomorrow, and will pack up my things for you in the morning. Mom should be more or less done with her preparations over there."

Mu Xiaochen nodded, "I understand."

Seeing Su Qi's expression, Mu Xiaochen was actually slightly satisfied.

It seemed as though as long as he was with this woman, he would be able to do whatever he wanted.

"Eat more …"

Su Qi did not stay for long. After she finished eating, she left the office.

Right after leaving, Mu Xiaochen's face instantly darkened.

Returning back to his seat, Mu Xiaochen picked up the phone, "Hey, contact the Shen. The meeting tomorrow afternoon is temporarily cancelled. I have some matters to attend to."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaochen's eyes turned ice-cold.

The door was pushed open, and Zhou Guang walked in gloomily, "Mubai, we have already contacted the Shen, he said that it will be tomorrow afternoon, and he has already contacted the people who will be participating in the competition, to cancel it so suddenly is inappropriate."

Zhou Guang scrunched his face, as if he was waiting for Mu Xiaochen's orders.

"If you don't go this time, it is very likely that the project will fall into the hands of someone else. This project is a rare piece of fat, and some companies are eyeing it covetously."

Mu Xiaochen's expression became even colder, and his gaze became gloomy.

That wasn't what he was worried about …

"Directly cancel."

Without thinking for too long, Mu Xiaochen immediately told Zhou Guang.

Zhou Guang hesitated for a moment, he did not understand Mu Xiaochen's idea, but in the end he still followed the order.

"I'm not at the office tomorrow afternoon. I'm going out."

Mu Xiaochen reminded.

"Where are you going?" Although he knew that he should not ask, with Mu Xiaochen's personality, he would never give up on any cooperation regarding benefits.

"To C City."

Mu Xiaochen lowered his head, and said indifferently.

Zhou Guang instantly understood something, "Okay Mubai."

"Professor."

With a rare free time, Su Qi walked forward and politely called out.

The professor was sitting in a chair, reading a book designed by the students.

Raising his head, the professor looked at Su Qi with eyes full of questions, waiting for Su Qi to finish.

"I want to take a day off tomorrow."

Su Qi scratched her head in embarrassment and laughed.

She was a little embarrassed that she had to trouble others every time.

"What's the matter?"

The professor adjusted the frame of his glasses. His eyes were round and he still had a mustache.

Su Qi really liked this professor.

"Tomorrow is my father's memorial day. I'm going back home."

The professor nodded, "Alright, no problem. But when you come back, remember to add on what you have learned. You can't be lazy, you know?"

Looking at Su Qi, the professor smiled understandingly, and warned her jokingly.

"Alright!"

Su Qi magnanimously nodded her head, amused by the professor's tone.

The first time the professor had made fun of her, she had thought the professor was a tricky person, and now it seemed that he might be the complete opposite of her first impression.

She felt that it still suited her very well.

"Your work is very creative compared to others. If you work hard, you should be able to do it."

The professor was holding Su Qi's work, staring at it.

Receiving the praise of the professor, Su Qi was naturally happy in her heart.

This was the first time she had received the acknowledgement of others. It could also be considered proof of her plagiarism. She did not plagiarize, never did.

"Professor, thank you. I will work hard."

Su Qi bowed gratefully towards the professor, expressing her gratitude.

"If you really like it, don't care about the opinions of others. Just do your best. If not, how long can you walk in this line of work …"

How long could he walk for? These words lingered in Su Qi's ears and lingered in her ears.

Yes, how long could she walk? If possible, she wished she could keep up her passion for what she liked.

Compared to his initial muddled state, Su Qi suddenly felt that she might have been too childish in the past …

She had to work hard to be as good as she was.

In the afternoon, Su Qi got off work and was already waiting for her at the door. Surprisingly, she did not drive.

Su Qi looked around, and was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaochen did not drive the car. He stood alone in front of the company entrance's pillar, his hands in his pockets. Unknowingly, he had already changed into sports-style clothes.

Su Qi had to admit that this kind of Mu Xiaochen was still very charming, with a bit more of laziness and sunshine.

For some reason, the moment Su Qi saw Mu Xiaochen recently, he couldn't help but fall into a daze.

After being married for such a long time, he probably wouldn't believe it even if he told others.

After being stunned for a while, it was still Mu Xiaochen who saw Su Qi first.

He was still as cold as ever, and walked straight in front of Su Qi. "What are you daydreaming for?"

"Huh?"

Su Qi shook her head and reacted, Mu Xiaochen had already walked to her side.

"It's nothing..." Su Qi's face instantly flushed red to the ears.

Mu Xiaochen faced the sun, the setting sun only having a few traces of faint radiance left.

His entire facial features began to take shape.

"Let's go."

Mu Xiaochen naturally held Su Qi's hand, facing the afterglow of the setting sun.

Su Qi's heart skipped a beat, she lifted her head and glanced at the side of Mu Xiaochen's face.

dragged him as he pleased.

"Where to?"

Su Qi carefully asked.

This feeling was very subtle.

"What do you want to do?" Mu Xiaochen tilted his head, looking down at Su Qi condescendingly.

"I'll listen to you."

Su Qi laughed and held Mu Xiaochen's hand tightly.
