No matter what Mu Xu's true thoughts were, Chi Juntao had to admit that Mu Xu's reasons were flawless and he successfully convinced him.

No matter what Mu Xu's true thoughts were, Chi Juntao had to admit that Mu Xu's reasons were flawless and he successfully convinced him.

Chi Juntao touched Mu Xu's cheek, tugged at the half-length hair that hung over his ear, and said, "Okay." He lowered his head, looked at the pink diamond ring on his ring finger, and felt sour and sweet in his heart Emotions.

"Well, let's set a small goal." Mu Xu said, "You sit in the position of President Joaquin, and we will go to Tahiti together."

Chi Juntao turned his head to look at him: "Really?"

"Well, spend your money." Mu Xu said, "I want a three-story cruise ship."

"I want a helicopter." Chi Juntao's eyes lit up, "There's also a Ferrari, the red one." He spread his arms and made a gesture, "I want such a big flower door."

Chi Juntao's obsession with the huge flower gate made Mu Xu amused, and he asked, "Why do you like flower gate so much?"

"When I was in junior high school, my grandfather and I went to have a wedding. The venue was set in an old house with red brick walls and wisteria flowers hanging from the wall like a waterfall, shining in the sun." Chi Juntao said, " The bride is holding a bouquet of wisteria flowers and standing under the courtyard wall to take pictures, it’s so beautiful.”

"I think my future bride will also be this beautiful." Chi Juntao propped his elbows on the table, resting his chin with one hand, and looked at Mu Xu with a smile, "As expected, you are so pretty."

Mu Xu picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried meat and put it into Chi Juntao's bowl, and said, "Eat."

Chi Juntao said, "Here is this for you." He reached into his pocket and took out a headband with two bright red cherries on the black rope. Arrived." Chi Juntao said, "I saw a lot of little boys in school uniforms picking, and I picked too." He puffed his cheeks and said, "They only bought one, and I picked a bunch." He took out a headband from his pocket and stuffed it to Mu Xu, "You tie one kind of hairband every day, and you can tie it for a month without repeating it."

Mu Xu held a hair rope, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Why do I need so much?"

"Looks good." Chi Juntao stretched out his fingers to stroke Mu Xu's hair hanging by his ear, and said, "Try it."

Mu Xu brushed his hair, returned the hair rope to Chi Juntao, and said, "You tie it for me."

Chi Juntao's breathing was slightly stagnant, he put down his chopsticks, stood up, and said, "I'm going to wash my hands." He hurried out of the box, leaving Mu Xu to eat fried pork mixed with rice with relish.

Mu Xu's complexion is cold and fair, his pupils are lighter in color, and his hair is also soft and yellow-brown. His fingers run through the hair as if they are dipping into the cool water of the stream.Chi Juntao carefully tied Mu Xu's hair, tied it at the back of his head near his neck, adjusted the position of the hair rope, and placed the bright red cherry fruit directly above the hairpin.

"Okay." Chi Juntao said.

Mu Xu shook his head and said, "It's time for me to cut my hair."

"Do you want to cut it short?" Chi Juntao asked, he was a little bit reluctant to part with this moist and smooth hair, "It looks pretty like this."

"The weather is hot." Mu Xu said, "The hair is too long and uncomfortable." He knew that Chi Juntao liked it, so he resisted not cutting it.July in Beijing is really tough. Even though he spends most of his time in an air-conditioned room, he can't bear the heat of going out occasionally.

"Okay." Chi Juntao said, he sat back on the chair, picked up the chopsticks, and talked about work, "Tomorrow night, Mr. Chen and I will go to Xie's house for dinner."

"Have we officially started talking?" Mu Xu asked.

Chi Juntao nodded: "Yes, my grandfather helped build the bridge."

"It's a big bridge." Mu Xu said, he was full, so he slowed down the speed of serving food, and looked at Chi Juntao, "Play well tomorrow."

"Then," Chi Juntao said hesitantly, "tonight..."

"I'll wait for you outside." Mu Xu said, "Don't be nervous." He stretched out his hand, pressing down the stupid hair on Young Master Chi's head, "You can wear my clothes tomorrow."

"?" Chi Juntao tilted his head and raised the bar on purpose, "You dislike my taste."

"First, you have no taste." Mu Xu said, "Second, don't dress like a high school student for business negotiations." He took out a napkin to wipe the corners of his lips, and explained carefully, "Remember to wear a watch."

"Oh." Chi Juntao nodded.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Mu Baiying sat in front of the computer on time and started the online meeting with Mu Xu.

At [-] pm Beijing time, the faces of Mu Xu and Ming Yuefeng appeared on the computer screen, and Mu Baiying said, "Good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Mu." Ming Yuefeng said.

"Have you received the afternoon tea?" Mu Baiying asked with a smile.

"Received." Mu Xu said, he took a bite of the mousse cake, "It's delicious, thank you mom."

"Then let's start this topic." Mu Baiying opened the notebook.

"I hope this meeting can end on time." Mu Xu said, "I have to get off work on time at seven o'clock, and I have other things to do later."

"Okay, then let's get straight to the point." Mu Baiying said.

"Hey, you're well dressed today." Chen Pingche said, he had been running outside for a meeting all day, and he arrived at the office in a hurry at six in the afternoon. When he saw Chi Juntao, he praised, "Did you dress up specially?"

"Yes." Chi Juntao said, "Mu Xu picked it all."

"It looks familiar to me." Chen Pingche said, "Bring your computer and let's go."

Chi Juntao carried his computer bag and stepped into the elevator car with Chen Pingche. He pursed his lips and remained silent, looking a little nervous.

"Should you have contact with Lao Xie's family?" Chen Pingche asked.

"I met Xie's grandparents when I was young, but I didn't have much contact with them." Chi Juntao said, "I just heard about Xie Yingzhuo."

"Haven't you met Xie Tangyan?" Chen Pingche asked, "You are about the same age as I remember."

"It's quite a difference, I know Zhao Yi." Chi Juntao said, "But it's useless."

"Never mind, anyway, we may not know all the people we come into contact with in the future." Chen Pingche comforted.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Chi Juntao said, he bowed his head and sent Mu Xu a message [We are leaving. 】

[Mu Xu: Send me a message at Xie's house. 】

[Chi Juntao: Okay. 】

"I'm going to the bathroom." Mu Xu stood up and said to Ming Yuefeng, "You guys continue to chat."

As the office door closed, Mu Baiying asked, "Mingyue, how is Xiaoxu?"

"Which area are you referring to?" Ming Yuefeng asked puzzled.

"He doesn't seem to be sleeping well." Mu Baiying said, "There are heavy dark circles under his eyes."

"Ah," Ming Yuefeng blinked slowly, "I didn't notice."

"He covered it with makeup." Mu Baiying said, she didn't notice it at first, relying on her mother's intuition to notice Mu Xu's little distracted movements during the meeting.He would narrow his eyes slightly, stare blankly at a certain position without moving, but meet Mu Baiying's gaze very sensitively, and open his eyes a little guilty.

Mu Xu pushed open the office door, sat down in front of the computer, and asked, "Where did you just talk?"

"Market research report in China." Ming Yuefeng said, "Consumers prefer this item."

"OK, continue." Mu Xu said.

"Your car is quite simple." Chi Juntao stood in front of the Buick Weilang and said, "Let me drive, Mr. Chen."

"I'll drive, we don't need to do those useless things." Chen Pingche said, he opened the door of the driver's seat, "I usually like to drive, and if I have nothing to do on weekends, I often drive out for a drive."

Chi Juntao said, "It always feels weird that you drove me along."

"What are you kidding, come up quickly." Chen Pingche urged.

Chi Juntao got into the co-pilot, put on his seat belt, and said, "I'll guide you."

"Okay." Chen Pingche started the car and drove out of the underground garage.

"That's all for today." Mu Baiying said, "It should be seven o'clock in Beijing."

"It's time for lunch in London too." Ming Yuefeng said.

Mu Xu rubbed his eyes, wiped off a little powder with his fingertips, and said, "Then I'll get off work first."

"Xiao Xu." Mu Baiying said, she frowned, "Don't stay up late at night, sleep well."

Mu Xu was stunned for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "Understood."

Closing the laptop, Mu Xu looked at Ming Yuefeng: "How did my mother see that I stayed up late?"

"...I don't know either." Ming Yuefeng was even more puzzled, "She suddenly mentioned that you have dark circles under your eyes."

Mu Xu put away the computer, glanced at the phone, and said, "I'm leaving, and you get off work early, call me if you have anything to do."

"Yeah." Ming Yuefeng nodded, "Go slowly."

Mu Xu stepped out of the office, grabbed Kan Mengran who was passing by, and asked with a serious face: "Is there any cosmetic that is more effective than liquid foundation?"
