Only Favoring His Wife Chapter 13
"Sure, Brother Lin Yang, I'll definitely get it," Liu Mingxi declared firmly after Lin Yang's assurance. After ending the call, he clutched his phone tightly and sat on the bed in a daze. Strangely, during his conversation with Lin Yang, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss when he spoke with Qin Mucheng last time. It left him feeling uneasy. Liu Mingxi shook his head, thinking, "No, I must be overthinking this." He told himself, "Regardless, this time, I must assist Brother Lin Yang to make my feelings known and be with him for real."
With these thoughts, Liu Mingxi's heart settled, and a smile crept onto his face, as if he could envision the future clearly.
On the other end of the line, Lin Yang stared at the illuminated screen that displayed "Call has ended" and burst into a laughter tinged with a touch of madness.
"Qin Mucheng, I won't surrender. I'll reclaim everything. You'll never fathom the card I still hold! Hahahaha! MingXi, don't disappoint me."
As darkness enveloped the surroundings, a man in an opulent, spacious office meticulously examined the plan laid out before him. His profile was impeccably handsome, featuring lips so tempting one would yearn to kiss, yet firmly sealed.After a prolonged period of intense focus, the man diligently engrossed in his work finally lifted his head. His striking countenance appeared as if it had been sculpted by divine hands—it was none other than Qin Mucheng.
Initially, he wore a furrowed brow, but then his gaze shifted toward the floor-to-ceiling window nearby. As he observed the obsidian night beyond, his attention was drawn to his wrist, where he glanced at the expensive watch displaying 6:30, and memories of earlier events resurfaced.
Swiftly, he rose from his seat, retrieved the suit resting on the sofa, and deftly manipulated his well-articulated fingers to fasten each button, his mind fully engaged in the task.After a brief moment, the suit impeccably clung to his physique, showcasing the owner's statuesque frame.
Shutting down the incomplete blueprint on the desk, Qin Mucheng reached for the previously set-aside cellphone and made his way out of the office.
"Ding!" Upon entering the elevator, Qin Mucheng retrieved his mobile phone and swiftly located the contact named Xiao Qi. He spoke into the device, "Xiao Qi, I'm leaving the company right away. If you have any evening arrangements, please reschedule them for me."
"Understood, Sir," Secretary Xiao Qi replied with a composed tone, though his inner turmoil betrayed his calm exterior.
He found it rather astonishing to contemplate when his workaholic boss might depart from the company ahead of others. What could be the reason behind it? Could it possibly be a family matter concerning the CEO? These were the silent speculations stirring within Xiao Qi's thoughts.
"Master Yunjin, the young master hasn't returned yet. Would you like to have a meal in the meantime?" Butler Su inquired of Ye Yunjin.
"Uncle Su, there's no need to address me as 'Master.' Just call me Xiaojin or Yunjin," Ye Yunjin replied with a touch of resignation.
"No, Master Yunjin, you never allowed me to address you as Mr. Ye before. Upon reflection, I realized it was rather inappropriate, so I changed my mind," Butler Su explained.
"I'm the housekeeper, and you are the Master of this household. I'll address the Second Young Master as such and you as Young Master Yunjin..." Butler Su swiftly responded to Ye Yunjin's request.
"Uncle Su, alright, my mistake. You can call me whatever you prefer. By the way, I'm not hungry yet. I'll wait until he returns to eat!" Ye Yunjin interjected to quell Butler Su's nagging and affable manner.
As expected, Butler Su fell silent and nodded, saying, "Master Yun Jin, I'll check if dinner is ready in the kitchen."
Watching Butler Su depart, Ye Yunjin let out a discreet sigh. However, as he glanced at the wall clock, which already displayed 7:10, an unconscious anxiety washed over him involuntarily.
"Why hasn't he returned yet? What if he doesn't return at all..." Ye Yunjin's thoughts wandered uneasily, almost involuntarily.
Just as he wrestled with these uneasy thoughts, a maid's surprised voice echoed from the entrance: "The Second Young Master, you've returned!"
Ye Yunjin hastened towards the source of the voice, only to find out Qin Mucheng nodding to the maid who was about to go out.
Perhaps due to his hurried pace, his footsteps had been rather loud. Abruptly, Qin Mucheng detected the sound and turned around.
Their gazes locked, and as Ye Yunjin met Qin Mucheng's eyes, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Although Ye Yunjin's facial expression remained composed, his jubilant and elated mood radiated through his gleaming eyes.
Indeed, in this moment, Ye Yunjin's heart brimmed with excitement and joy.
Conversely, when Qin Mucheng spotted Ye Yunjin approaching, a smile involuntarily graced his lips.
Observing the clarity in the other party's eyes, he offered an explanation, "I'm back. I am sorry, I accidentally lost track of time."
His ever-so-deep voice instantly jolted Ye Yunjin to awareness.
It was only then that Ye Yunjin realized he had been gazing at the other person all this time!In a fluster, he averted his gaze, anxiously nibbling on his lower lip. The words Qin Mucheng had just uttered flashed through his mind, yet he hadn't managed to respond.
Swiftly, he turned his head back, fixing his gaze on Qin Mucheng, stammering, "No, it's fine!"
However, as soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Yunjin wished he could simply vanish. The panic had overwhelmed him, causing his voice to escalate to an unexpectedly loud volume.
In light of this, he rushed to include:
"I meant to say, it's not a problem! Um, dinner... dinner is almost prepared. Please go wash up and let's eat."
After adding this in a low voice, Yunjin lowered his head.
