Chapter 133: Chapter 133; Where are they?
“All right, all right… Can I now go out for shopping? Uncle, you need to be resourceful for the day and at least do something. It won’t be possible if you go on cuddling me like this.” She fluttered her eyelashes, looking like a little bunny that had been trapped, seeking freedom, of which Mu Yunchen didn’t want to grant it to her.
“Nope! I will accompany you later on in the afternoons when I feel like it and in the mood.” He carefully fixed her hair fringes that had fallen all over her face after that passionate kiss to the back of her ear, looking at that familiar not-so-familiar face and eyes.
“Uncle…” She gave up seeing his determined eyes. He wasn’t going to change his mind any time soon. She could only think of cajoling him into buying a laptop or mobile phone for her to use. It could be the easiest way to communicate around with Li Si Ming.
“I’m changing Li Meili’s household registry to Mu household living in our home. You would have someone to accompany you, and it won’t feel lonely.” He notified her of the decision he just made earlier on. This wasn’t some secret he needed to hide. With Li Meili, his girl has someone to always accompany her just like a sibling.
Zhou Yuxi didn’t know if she should be glad or laugh at this decision he decided to make. “Uncle, you can’t be stealing people’s relatives, right?” As much as Li Meili wasn’t getting along with other family members, they were still her family. That was her biological mother, and she had biological brothers, too, who were her mother’s sons.
“Am not stealing, she is willing. Anything you like has to be yours; it doesn’t matter what it is. You just have to like it, and that’s it.” He kissed her cheeks while looking at her with those gentlest but serious eyes.
Zhou Yuxi thought it was best if she hid her thoughts! If she liked more people, they would soon have a price tag which wasn’t a good thing since they were just human beings.
He didn’t seem to be joking, and every word he uttered weighed a lot.
“Hehe… Thank you.” Could she tell him not to? He had already given orders and they could only wait to see those formalized papers.
“Mnnh…” He sat there quietly closing his eyes. Of all the days, today was his laziest one. He just didn’t want to be productive. After last night’s incident, he just wanted to stick around her.
“Uncle, I will sit there on the couch and let you work!” How was he going to work while they cuddled up like that? He had a lot of pending files that were lying on the desk, and she was also slightly feeling uncomfortable being held like that.
She wasn’t a kid but a whole-ass-grown woman. Her hormones were going rampant, and the last thing she needed to do was let her inner thoughts win. She didn’t want to expose herself so soon; her Uncle would suddenly doubt her identity once again, and she needed to change her attitude towards him bit by bit.
“Who told you I want to work? Just stay still. I don’t have plans for anything today.” He just wanted to cuddle with her. The mobile phone on the other side of the desk had been ringing and ringing all this time, and he didn’t look like someone who was gonna receive it any time soon.
Zhou Yuxi pitied the people calling from the other end of the phone calls. She could imagine the frustrations of him not getting their calls answered.
His laptop was also sending notifications from time to time; he had a lot on his plate, but here he was slacking.
“Uncle, your phone has been ringing! Maybe it’s something important or an emergency.” People calling him had to be someone he was familiar with as this was his private number. Not just anyone was able to have this number.
“They can wait until I feel like it.” He didn’t stop hugging her, he just wanted to laze around and do nothing. Since she was here with him, that’s all that mattered; she was the only person who could be in an emergency.
“Haiya! We better go back home then, Uncle; there’s nothing we are doing here in the office.” Why be lazy in the office while they have a huge mansion so they can relax inside comfortably? It was so uncomfortable to be cooped up inside that office even though it was huge.
“We can do that too.” He got up from the office seat and placed her down before holding her hand and walking out of the office onto the corridor.
“Uncle, what’s the matter with you?” She was shocked to see he was serious about returning to the mansion in broad daylight, having done nothing constructive since they stepped into the office. Mu Yunchen just eyed her as he progressed over to the guards.
“Where are they?” He queried the guards at the door and pointed over to the private lounge room where they had gotten inside.
He walked over opened the door and got inside standing there while he held the door with the other empty hand stopping it from closing, “Li Feng, carry all the files on top of the desk and everything else important, find Secretary Yu, Mu Xue and Wu Xua, we are going over to the mansion.” His hand held Zhou Yuxi’s tiny hand sticking closer to him.
“What about Li Meili and Su Feng!” Zhou Yuxi was stamped stupid. She just jokingly suggested and he actually agreed? He didn’t have to take it seriously right? Probably he wasn’t in the mood to work, and it was normal, but wouldn’t that be the same with delaying projects from being launched?
“We are all going over to the mansion!” With that, he turned around, and they walked over to the stairs, taking them down while he went through the building doing a brief check to see if people were working from the day he said he was taking a business trip; very few people knew that he was moving abroad.
Anyone found in the wrong or doing something he/she ain’t supposed to do during working hours was getting fired instantly without a second thought. A lot of workers were suddenly getting dismissed, and this was Third Master Mu, they didn’t dare question his actions.
“Uncle, Tang Yuze is at the reception lounge waiting for me; you will find me down there. I have to have a chat with him briefly about something important.” She loosened before rushing away, she was steps away and couldn’t get hold of her hand.
It was like she was moving further and further away from him. His gaze turned frighteningly scary as everyone around him scampered away.
“Yuxi….” He called her as he turned his body over to look at the girl rushing through the corridor like a little girl.
Zhou Yuxi turned around and naughtily poked her tongue jokingly before taking the elevator down. Mu Yunchen could only shake his head and go through the offices hurriedly so that he could catch up with her.
Li Meili and Su Feng trailed behind Zhou Yuxi as they got over to the ground floor. They didn’t want to stick around Third Master Mu; he was gentle in Zhou Yuxi’s presence, and in her absence, he wasn’t someone you dared get closer to.
“One day you will really give him a heart attack.” Li Meili jokingly spoke up as Su Feng nodded his head in agreement with that. She was naughty and stubborn by nature, and it was easy to infuriate someone with her stubbornness. It wasn’t easy to control someone like Zhou Yuxi.
“Geez! Relax, it’s not like there are assailants all over the company building ready to eat me up.” She thought otherwise. Sticking closer to him was like becoming his mobile phone that he had to carry around. This wasn’t the life she wanted.
At the reception, Zhou Yuxi could see Tang Yuze and Li Si Ming chatting in the lounge while they signed the necessary paperwork and even stamped them so that they could be legalized; she walked over, getting closer to them, feeling thirsty after running down the stairs.
“Li Si Ming…
