"You guys go out."
female secretary Before she could react to the situation in front of her, she was pushed out by Xiao Chen.
The two peak managers were also pushed out with a bewildered look on their faces. They turned back to look at their boss in hindsight, but did not hear a single word from Lin Muyan.
As the door of the meeting room closed, the air in the spacious room seemed to stagnate, and a heavy silence wrapped around the two people like a water snake.
Xiao Chen and Lin Muyan stared at each other in a daze, their minds blank from this sudden situation.
A breeze passed through the unclosed window, lifting Lin Muyan's skirt to reveal a glimpse of her fair skin.
"I didn't expect Designer Xiao to look so much like a friend of mine. What a surprise."
Lin Muyan suddenly sat up, leaning forward with a smile, her arms seemingly casually resting on the edge of the conference table, but her fingers hidden at the corner were tightly gripping the edge, constantly exerting force to shrink. Her eyebrows and eyes curved, and her light brown eyes seemed to have a hint of ripples.
Xiao Chen clearly saw the unhidden chill inside. Lin Muyan was truly quite angry. "Ah... I was wrong. I shouldn't have compared an ordinary person like me to a high and mighty figure like you. Hehe, my apologies for speaking out of turn."
She smiled lightly, but her mouth gradually turned downward, ending up with clenched teeth and bright red lips. "Xiao Chen" looked pale and said urgently, "MuMu, let me explain..." "Lin Muyan" sneered, "No misunderstanding, no need to explain."
Even if I explain, she doesn't want to listen. Xiao Chen's fingers hanging by his side suddenly curled up, this is definitely not what he wanted to see. When he looked up again, Lin Muyan had already walked over, the smile disappeared, leaving only a cold look in her eyes. "I came here for nothing today."
As they brushed past each other, he heard Lin Muyan say lightly, "Just let her go." Xiao Chen was certain that Lin Muyan would not give him another chance to explain. He suddenly grabbed Lin Muyan's sleeve, but in his haste, he couldn't control his strength and forcefully pulled her suit jacket off her shoulder.
Bare shoulders, a hint of rose fragrance, Xiao Chen stood stiffly.
Lin Muyan glanced sideways, his cold gaze falling on his own wrist. The man's palm was broad, enveloping her slender wrist, as if with a casual tug, he could crush her wrist bones.
Her eyes grew even colder.
"Let go!" she scoffed. "Or is it that making a fool of me gives you a special sense of accomplishment? Willing to embarrass me even in front of your employees?"
Xiao Chen was taken aback, only then realizing that there were a few of his own employees outside the semi-transparent glass of the meeting room, trying hard to tiptoe and see what was going on inside. Seeing Lin Muyan's cold smile, he couldn't help but curse in his mind due to the headache.
"Come with me first."
The employees of Stu Studio outside the door looked worried. The fierce momentum that Lin Muyan displayed when she burst in was witnessed by all. What if their own boss ends up fighting with her... What should they do if they don't benefit from it?
But now it seems that things are not quite right.
The female secretary, who was blocked at the door, looked anxious, wanting to look but not daring to, feeling conflicted. Just as she made up her mind to stick to the wall, the door of the meeting room suddenly opened.
She watched helplessly as her own boss dragged the female boss of Peak Entertainment upstairs in a way that was hard to put into words.
"Hey, Lin Zong! Lin Zong, where are you guys going?" The two peak managers were anxious to catch up, but they were once again stopped by Stu's employees, which made them stomp their feet in frustration.
The female secretary nearby shivered at the sound, "Upstairs? Isn't that the boss's private office?"
Lin Muyan was dragged by him in silence until Xiao Chen completely locked the office door, staring at the man without saying a word. Xiao Chen nervously looked around, made sure no one followed, and then, still worried, pulled down the blinds of the office's several windows facing outside to block the view. Only then did he turn around to face Lin Muyan. He fiddled with his fingers, looking like a big, guilty puppy with his head almost drooping to his chest. His tall stature, combined with such a obedient gesture, looked pitiful no matter how you looked at it.
If it were a normal day, Lin Muyan would have already softened her heart and hugged him. But now... she held her breath and concentrated, her anger raging like flames in her chest. No one could remain indifferent when being played like this.
"I'm sorry MuMu, I know you must be upset. I didn't mean to keep it from you, I..."
"Are you finished?"
Lin Muyan thought at least he would be honest with her about the reason, but he kept beating around the bush and didn't give a real explanation. She became even more annoyed. "If you're done, then get out of my way. I won't bother you today, but remember, as long as I'm at Peak Entertainment, I won't let you and your Stu off the hook."
She left some harsh words and went to pull Xiao Chen who was blocking the door. But no matter how hard she tried, even using some force, Xiao Chen didn't budge at all. Except for a slight frown when he was pinched, his eyes were always glued to Lin Muyan, without blinking.
I can't move, and I don't want to really fight. Lin Muyan is tired and angry, panting as she retreats, then throwing her gaze at Xiao Chen.
During her break, Xiao Chen sighed and wanted to hug her, but Lin Muyan dodged fiercely, leaving Xiao Chen feeling hurt.
"I've been working as Leo in the design industry all these years, but as you know, this job and exposure go hand in hand. I don't like exposing my private life to others, so I've never shown my true self. I didn't mean to hide it from you, MuMu, believe me, I didn't want to deceive you."
"I, I didn't say I was an apprentice either. It was you who misunderstood first."
Xiao Chen had just finished speaking when Lin Muyan glared at him, and he immediately tried to please her by grabbing her hand and shaking it.
"Don't be mad at me. I had no choice, and I also thought you were just an ordinary person. If I had really said I was Leo, you wouldn't have believed me. But if I had scared you, what would I have done?"
Lin Muyan looked down at her right hand, which was constantly shaking. She pursed her lips. Yes, she had initially thought he was just an Apprentice, but she was still angry. Angry at being deceived, angry at herself for being so foolish and even scolding herself for being deceived by someone. The more she thought about it, the more upset and wronged she felt. With a swing of her hand, she pushed Xiao Chen away.
"Even if I misunderstood, you can explain. What do you mean by pretending to be poor? Do you think I'm really naive? I believe everything you say!"
Xiao Chen was pushed back by her, and upon hearing this, he grabbed her hand again, this time afraid she would push him away. He used a little force that wouldn't cause pain.
"I don't want to pursue you! I thought you were just an ordinary white-collar worker. I just wanted to get close to you, and Wen Zimo said that's the only way to not make you feel burdened."
Xiao Chen was resentful and hummed at the air as if Wen Zimo, who was full of mischief, was standing there.
"My dear wife, I really know I was wrong. Can you forgive me just this once, considering how much I love and adore you?"
Seeing that Lin Muyan didn't push him away, Xiao Chen moved the hand holding her wrist upward, and his fingers stopped at her shoulder. The slight coolness and smoothness of her skin made his heart flutter for a moment.
When she came to her senses, her head was already resting against Lin Muyan's forehead, gently rubbing against each other. "Forgive me, please forgive me. I love you, MuMu. I know you may not be able to accept it for a while, but I'm willing to wait as long as you forgive me." His eyelashes almost brushed against Lin Muyan's cheek, tickling her.
The sunlight streamed in straight from the half window behind her, bypassing Lin Muyan and illuminating one side of her face, as if the fine hairs there were coated with a faint, soft light.
Xiao Chen gazed blankly at Lin Muyan, who was half embraced in his arms. His lips lightly brushed against hers, fearing her rejection, only gently caressing her with his external movements. The ticklish sensation seemed to seep into her heart bit by bit, scratching and clawing at the deepest part of her heart.
Lin Muyan did not return the kiss, but she also did not refuse. She simply sat silently on the edge of the desk, extremely quiet.
She really didn't expect that the person sleeping next to her would be the stumbling block that irritates her every day.
This strong contrast left her speechless, her emotions fluctuating, unable to distinguish who she was angrier at.
When she realized the man was starting to passionately seek a kiss, she slightly bent her arms, pressing them against Xiao Chen's shoulders, interrupting his kiss, leaving him looking quite innocent and at a loss.
"You're blaming me," she stared into Xiao Chen's dark eyes, "just like I blame you for lying to me, you're also blaming me for lying to you." Xiao Chen glanced away, paused for a few seconds, then looked back at her, "I don't want to lie to you, but more than feeling uncomfortable about this, I'm afraid you'll push me away."
He spoke sincerely, and Lin Muyan fell silent for a moment, creating some distance between them. She turned around, with her back to Xiao Chen, and walked a few steps towards the window. Outside, the scene remained unchanged, with the constant flow of people and the hurried footsteps, as if no one would stop for each other.
She lightly glanced over Xiao Chen's office. It is said that a person's work environment can reveal a lot of personal information. Lin Muyan's office continues the style of the previous CEO, with only a few minor changes, so it doesn't look too luxurious or extravagant. Compared to her, Xiao Chen's office is much simpler.
The black and white decorative style occasionally features some playful lines, indicating a design style that leans more towards rigor than luxury. There are not many personal items, and the bookshelf against the wall is filled with neatly arranged books of various colors. Behind the bookshelf, there is a slightly open door, through which traces of rest can be glimpsed inside.
Like her, Xiao Chen also has the habit of staying overnight in the studio.
Both are workaholics.
From a certain angle, they actually fit together quite well.
"Do you want to hear my version?"
Her finger traced the edge of the table, gliding smoothly with no trace of dust. She tilted her head and glanced casually at Xiao Chen's side, as if she were smiling.
The smile was too shallow, and it was against the light. Xiao Chen couldn't be sure if he had seen it wrong.
"You don't want to say, I don't want to force you."
