She had always felt that someone had already taken residence in her heart. During the days right after their wedding at Jiang Residence, he noticed her sitting alone in a daze several times.
The light in the bedroom was soft and bright. She seemed to have already taken a shower, wearing a champagne-colored silk nightgown as she sat motionless in the rocking chair, tilting her head and staring out the window.
In fact, during those days, he had been appearing only at night to deal with the elders and had no desire to share a room with her. However, when he saw that scene, his curiosity got the better of him.
He walked over and softly called her name, but there was no response. As he got closer, he realized that her gaze was distant and unfocused, her expression completely still and concentrated. At that moment, it felt as if time had frozen.
He called her name again, but she still did not react, seemingly not hearing him.
That focused gaze resembled a stubborn child caught in a standoff with something. In that moment, he suddenly wanted to know what she was thinking—what could possibly occupy her mind so completely that she couldn't even spare a thought for him beside her.
In that state, she seemed to exist in her own world, inaccessible to anyone else. He could only watch from afar, unable to reach into her world no matter how much he stretched out his hand.
He didn't know how long he stood beside her until his legs grew numb. Only then did he come back to his senses and walked in front of her to pull her up from the rocking chair. It was then that he finally saw a glimmer of light in her eyes.
Later on, when they were together, he saw her sitting by the window lost in thought several times. That expression felt very unfamiliar to him. It wasn't until much later that he understood; during those moments, she might have been missing someone—she must have had a past that he knew nothing about.
And today, all his previous speculations were confirmed. He just never expected that person would be Xue Yiyang!
She had once shared a past with Xue Yiyang. He didn't need to think too hard to guess that their relationship must have withered away over time.
As far as he knew, Xue Yiyang was already engaged to the daughter of the O Family. It was said that they were quite compatible and were just waiting for Xue Yiyang to return home for the wedding. This marriage could be seen as a strong alliance between wealthy merchants; in the face of profit, all love became mere sacrifices.
She happened to be the one who became the sacrifice, whether in her relationship with Xue Yiyang or in his marriage, it was the same.
After taking a hot shower, Green Qi slightly regained some energy. Looking at her lifeless reflection in the mirror, she sighed softly. The divorce discussions were not going well; if Mu Tongzi asked her about it, she might still be able to delay for a while, but dealing with Jiang Chengmu would not be easy.
Although she believed in Mu Tongzi's abilities, Jiang Chengmu currently held shares in Wind Dust Group, and they were fierce competitors. If Jiang Chengmu refused to let go, then no matter how capable Mu Tongzi was, it would be of no use.
She couldn't help but recall the conditions proposed by Mu Tongzi. He hadn't mentioned the condition for helping her arrange a dinner with the mayor yet. If he made things difficult for her, her future days would truly be hard!
Before the afternoon shift ended, Green Qi received a call from Mu Tongzi. On the other end of the line was his domineering and decisive tone.
"Go on a business trip with me to B City tomorrow. The flight tickets are already booked. I'll pick you up at your apartment building at eight in the morning!"
Suddenly remembering that tomorrow was Saturday and she had to return to Jiang Residence with Jiang Chengmu, she hurriedly refused: "President, please find someone else! I need to go back to Jiang Residence tomorrow..."
She really couldn't understand how Mu Tongzi planned to take her on a business trip. If it were official business, why hadn't Nie Fengling informed her beforehand and instead let President tell her personally?
Thank you to Jingypzh and Chenhonghappy for the red envelopes, and thank you all for your support!
