Chapter 1521. Get Together 3
The buddies chatted till quite late before they went their separate ways, but they did not drink till they were drunk like they used to, thus they were still quite sober when they left.
Mu Yuchen had already gone upstairs to shower, and Xi Xiaye walked Qi Lei out. The two of them walked side by side while the dim yellow lights made their shadows look long, but with one long and one short, it looked quite harmonious.
“How have you been? I haven’t gone over to visit in a while since I’ve been quite busy recently.” Xi Xiaye’s calm voice broke the silence between the two of them, and one could hear the concern in her voice.
“Pretty good, just much busier than before, but I must say that I’ve been living a much more fulfilled life recently. It feels good. What’s with that look of yours? I’m a serious person now.”
Xi Xiaye chuckled as she shot him a glance. “Indeed, you’re quite something when you get all serious. The project in City B is making rather good progress. Uncle Lan was just telling me to praise you properly. If it weren’t for you, the project might not have gotten on track so quickly. Fuhua’s foundation in City B is quite weak, and there are indeed many obstacles to setting things in motion.”
“If you want to thank anyone, it should be your Mr. Mu. I didn’t do anything. I was only thinking of my own benefits, so you don’t have to thank me. Instead, it was Mu Yuchen. Glory World didn’t get many advantages out of this,” said Qi Lei humbly.
“Him helping me out is what he should do.”
“He and I are of different identities. I know you’re saying that. Alright, since we’re so close, I don’t want to hear all these boring thank yous. How’s Weiwei? Actually, I was thinking…”
Before Qi Lei could finish, Xi Xiaye had already spoken up to cut him short, “She’s doing very well. Letting her stay here is much better for her than anywhere else. Her recent situation has improved much more. It’s just that she can’t quite keep up with her grades, but don’t worry. I’ll guide her well and see if she can catch up with the rest. You’re still a bachelor, thus you don’t have experience with these things. In fact, an additional child will just be a burden and you won’t be able to manage her. It’s much better on my end since I’m already raising two, so one more isn’t a problem.”
