As she said this, she turned to look at the man beside her, her eyes gleaming with the light of diamonds.

As Mu Yuchen listened, he slowed the car down then responded, "Ah Mo has liked Lingshi ever since we were young, my family's not some trite family either. If they can get together, everyone would agree. Grandfather and Grandmother even planned to renovate a place for them in the Jinglan Villa area. After Lingshi graduates from university, they'd let them get married."

When he said this, Mu Yuchen's eyes darkened.

"Could it because of Ah Shi's scar? How did she...?"

"It was the same scar from the car accident with Lingtian. Apart from the scar on her face, she suffered terrible burns on her back. Even with surgery, there's no way of making it recover to how it originally was," he answered, then suddenly reached out to hold her hand that was on her thigh. The slightly cold temperature of her skin was transferred through his palms too. "Ah Mo said he doesn't mind, but Lingshi doesn't have the courage to face it."

To a girl like Mu Lingshi, it would be hard to accept. She must have been a very proud girl, yet unexpectedly...

Xi Xiaye sighed as she looked down at her hand that he held and thought about it. Then, she lifted her other idle hand to hold his. "Don't think too much about it. They'll recover once she lets go."

"Mmm, just arrange things for her for the day after tomorrow. I have to make a trip to New York with Zimo tomorrow and I might only be back after a week or so. I've already told Vice President Liu and the rest to handle matters at the office. I'll rush back in time before the big meeting."

"Why so sudden? Was it the document that Ah Mo handed you earlier?" Xi Xiaye asked in confusion.

He nodded. "Zimo's branch over there met some issues which are quite tricky, so I'll accompany him for the trip and at the same time, take a look at the branch."

...

When they returned to Maple Residence, it was already late at night. After the husband and wife took turns to shower, Xi Xiaye started to pack the documents for him while he sat before the desk and continued the work he had yet to finish that afternoon.

She kept all the documents into a black briefcase, and set it aside on the table. She watched his busy figure and her vaguely raspy voice said, "Rest earlier. Didn't you say that it's an 8 a.m. flight tomorrow?"

Mu Yuchen's long fingers typed a long row of formula very quickly on the keyboard, then with a 'ding', the data was automatically generated. After he saved it, he shut the computer down and turned his head, his distant eyes calmly resting on her face. He did not say anything for a long time.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" She felt shy under his intense stare and then she subconsciously touched her face, thinking that there was some dirt on it.

When he saw this, he suddenly roared with laughter and there were fireworks in his eyes. He slowly got up and walked over to look down at her.

The difference in height forced her to peer up before she could meet his eyes. Seeing that his dark eyes were fluctuating like burning fireworks, she immediately felt stifled and her heart beat faster. She subconsciously took a step back, and her back met the shelf that was filled with books. As she lowered her head to avert her gaze, she blushed and whispered softly, "Don't look at me like that..."

When he heard this, a faint smile flashed across his face. He leaned a hand against the shelf and asked, "How should I look at you then?"

"I... Mmm!"
