[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch52 - Found a Little Friend

Xiao Yuanmu leaned back against the sofa and seemed to not have heard him clearly. He raised his head slightly. "What did you say?"

Song Xuanhe's fingers on his hand hanging by his side curled slightly, brushing past the seam of his hand-sewn pants. He had been about to repeat himself when he heard someone's phone chime, alerting the owner that a new email had arrived in their mailbox. Sun Jinren pulled his phone out and had just read the contents of the email when his expression changed drastically. He shouted, "Er shao!"

"Er shao!" Sun Jinren ran over to Song Xuanhe's side. He pulled on Song Xuanhe's arm, his forehead already covered in a layer of cold sweat in the span of a few seconds. His voice nearly cracked in his urgency, and there was a warped smile on his face. "Forget about the matter of me asking to borrow Mr. Xiao for a few days to answer investment queries. I've found another financial advisor. There's no need to trouble you anymore."

Song Xuanhe's eyelashes trembled. He restrained himself from glancing at Xiao Yuanmu's expression. He then turned to Sun Jinren, whose face was full of worry. Pulling his arm out of the other's hold, he ignored Sun Jinren's surprised and panicked voice and said, "Financial advisor?"

Sun Jinren nodded at once, appearing very impatient. However, there was still a stiff smile on his face. "Yes, ah. Weren't we just talking about getting Mr. Xiao to help me look at investments? Oh, but there's no need for that now."

Song Xuanhe acted like he didn't understand the look Sun Jinren was giving him. He looked down and said, "Didn't Boss Sun want...."

"No!" Sun Jinren seemed frightened. Every word carried alarm. He sounded guilty. At once, he lowered his voice, "I will still give Er shao the present I have promised, including both the Roller Group contract and that other thing you want. However, there is no need to lend Mr. Xiao to me. I have other matters to attend to. I won't disturb you any longer."

Sun Jinren acted like he was being chased by something. As soon as he had finished speaking, he sprinted out of the room without waiting for Song Xuanhe's response.

The light in Song Xuanhe's eyes flickered. A few seconds later, he turned to look at Xiao Yuanmu, who was still sitting down.

Xiao Yuanmu was fiddling with his phone. Because his gaze was cast down, the corners of his eyes that were typically slanted upwards were currently pulled straight. With the light illuminating his profile, his exquisite jade-like face seemed to lose some of its chill. He looked even more beautiful.

Noticing Song Xuanhe's gaze, Xiao Yuanmu stopped spinning his phone and held it firmly in his hand. He then looked up and asked, "Boss Sun had wanted me to be his advisor?"

"Yes." Song Xuanhe smiled suddenly and replied, "But, it seems like he's already found someone else and changed his mind."

Xiao Yuanmu's jaw seemed to relax a bit. He said, "Since that's the case, let's leave."

"Aren't you curious why he had wanted an ordinary venture investment employee to be his advisor?" Song Xuanhe looked at him, creases between his brows. He sounded vexed, "I don't know why he had suddenly asked for you only to not want you anymore just as soon."

Xiao Yuanmu's eyes were cold. He stood up. "Not curious."

The two of them left the room shoulder-to-shoulder. As soon as they had walked out the villa's doors, they saw Sun Jinren and Song Jiabao standing in a corner of the garden. From this distance, they couldn't make out their conversation. However, Song Jiabao was facing their direction, and they could see that his expression was ugly. It was obvious that he was not in a good mood.
