Chapter 504. I Am Ji Zitong (3)
“Perhaps she wasn’t willing to bring up the past again. Her best friend did leave suddenly. This is a sorrowful thing for anyone. I hope that this time, I’ll be able to meet her and find out something from her.”
Xi Xiaye stayed silent for a while. Then, she put a hand on his shoulder. With a deep breath, she consoled, “So, we’ll just do our best. Lingshi has been looking for this answer too. I believe that everything will become clear to us very soon.”
“You’re quite optimistic. It’s something that has been silent for 20 to 30 years now. Do you think that it could all be explained so quickly? If it truly could, then it wouldn’t have waited until now when the matter is still foggy. However, with this attitude of yours, it’s worth encouraging no matter what. We’ll see how this goes. You should be happy with this Ji Zitong since Ah Mo praises her highly too. From now on, whenever I’m not by your side, she must follow you closely.”
Mu Yuchen lifted a hand to cover her hand on his shoulder as he said this.
Xi Xiaye nodded. “Mmm, I got it. Don’t worry. It’s fine. Those people aren’t stupid either. They wouldn’t hurt someone in broad daylight, but I’ll be more careful.”
“It’s best to be more vigilant. You’ll never know with these things. Without anyone guarding by your side, I have to worry,” Mu Yuchen said sensitively.
“I got it. Okay, I’m going back down now. Take a look at these documents and sign them if they’re okay. I have to send them to the Commerce Department tomorrow. Bye!”
She smiled and planted a kiss on his face, pointing at the documents she brought over. Before Mu Yuchen could respond, she already turned to leave, taking her cold fragrance with her. When he snapped back to his senses, she had already vanished out the door.
As he watched her little figure disappear, a faint curve flashed on his lips.
