Chapter 244: If Not Then Why Was Your Face So Red?

“I went looking for Song Yu because I wanted her spare our family and stop piling the pressure on us. Our family isn’t a family anymore. We’re broken. Even though the company is failing, at least we’re staying at a villa. But still, my mother’s afraid to go back there because she’s worried that Qi Chengzhi might want to target our company again. My mom is staying all by herself under someone else’s roof. I’m heartbroken to see her in such a sorry state. I want Song Yu to understand that we’re still family. I want her to help us a bit. I’m not saying that I want to take advantage of her or anything, but at least help our family by giving us some business. One is enough, as long as the company’s able to survive. But I didn’t expect that after so long, I still haven’t been able to even see Song Yu.”

“No matter what, we were not some distant relatives, my father was the brother of Song Yu’s mother! Their… their doings were too cruel!” Yu Keyao felt sorrow while she kept complaining, then she started to wail.

“This is outrageous! Song Yu normally talked nicely and appeared to be understanding to others but who knows deep down she was actually a heartless bastard who did not even care for her own family! Although I grew up in the United States of America, but my family taught me to be selfless and always help others in need and not only own family members. There are so many people in the world who needed help, we can’t only think of ourselves,” Mu Sisi slammed the table.

“That’s right! Miss Mu, after our talk I realized all those news were fake and you had been framed by Song Yu. You’re a good woman, Song Yu must have framed you! She was very good in planning schemes than us,” Yu Keyao looked at Mu Sisi and appeared as if regretted not having met her sooner.

“We had outstanding education and were protected from all troubles since young, and we’re almost at the same age, you just graduated and my graduation is near too, both of us has yet to step out into society. However Song Yu’s family faced bankruptcy when she was in high school, I heard she went to work and study at the same time. She had acquired at least a few years more experience than us and after her graduation, her job required her to deal with all the bosses at the wine table. Those bosses were smart and skilled and Song Yu could even deal with them for so many years. Imagine how adapted she was at scheming, it was no surprise that we lost to her…”

“Miss Yu, I heard you’re graduating soon and has yet to find a job. What is your profession? Perhaps I can be of assistance. Even though we just came to B City but we did get to know a few people since we wanted to open a shop,” Mu Sisi smiled and appeared as if she was noble and kind.

“Really? I studied fashion design. Initially my dad was ready to invest for a workshop and he contacted a few who had experiences, but since some troubles occurred in my family, he could no longer prepare those for me anymore. Now I’m currently looking around desperately for job but fashion design doesn’t have much vacancy,” Yu Keyao got excited and leaned forward.

“Miss Yu, have you forgotten what is the profession of my family?” Mu Sisi smiled.

“You… Are you saying that you…” Ye Keyao felt the happiness came too suddenly and was overwhelming for her to bear.

“The purpose why we came here was not only to open the very first MU shop in the Asia market but also open our very first branch office and with special focus on design department. Part of our products were sold exclusively at our country and can only be purchased locally, thus our products need to have an eastern feature, so we need local designers who understood the needs of the locals,” Mu Sisi explained.

“This… Miss Mu, I’m just an undergraduate who will graduate soon. Even though I learnt about fashion design and did some practicals on it, but I have never really designed any fashion for sale. You can say I have absolutely zero experience on this. I knew that experience and past accomplishments were the most important prerequisite for design profession, which was why my dad planned so much for me. It is really acceptable for a fresh graduate without any experience to work at MU?”

Mu Sisi let out a confident smile and said, “The profession about designs requires young man and new bloods as older designers are usually experienced with multiple accomplishments, but they are easily blinded by their own past designs with no new ideation. In contrast, even if you don’t have any experience, you’re still able to create a magnificent design if you’re willing to think out of the box. Of course, you just graduated and worked under MU, you’re unable to get promoted to designer immediately even with my recommendation, you still need to start your position as an assistant designer, same as I do now. Our company will not give you special privilege because of your status and identity. Good thing to know is that I am one of the shareholders of MU so I can say a word or two when it comes to staff recommendation.”

“Oh no, this is good enough. I knew this was an intense competition as it was very difficult to successfully apply for a job in MU. I already knew a lot of my colleagues in the same profession registered for the application, and this was only for my university, how about the fresh graduate from other universities? I really appreciate your help a lot, Miss Mu!” Mu Sisi smiled while feeling embarrassed. “You do realize this is the first time we met and you have already given me such a great help, and I even complained so much to you. It made me a little shameless.”

“Oh it’s alright, it is fate that bind us together. To be very honest, this is related to my personal feeling, especially when I don’t like Song Yu. She framed me, nobody was able to turn a blind eye on that, I knew I couldn’t. I’m still imagining that one day her true identity will be revealed and she can’t deceive others anymore,” Mu Sisi put on a fake smile.

Mu Sisi drank a sip of her coffee and said, “Plus you’re her cousin, you must have known her more than I do, so I’m actually helping myself by helping you. If Song Yu is our common enemy then it is logical that we combine forces and stand together, isn’t it?”

Mu Sisi smiled, feeling a little sorry. “Miss Yu, will you be angry at me when I’m actually being selfish?”

“Of course not, you’re not at fault even if you chose not to help me. We just met for the first time and you already opened up for me; whereas Song Yu was my own cousin but she was merciless towards me. It is obvious who is the bad guy here, right? How can I blame you for this? Not to mention you’re also bullied by Song Yu, it is normal for you to retaliate. To be honest, I felt that you’re a true friend without any schemes when you opened up to me, you’re much better than Song Yu who are so calculative. I love dealing with the kinds like you who has honesty,” Yu Keyao said sincerely.

Mu Sisi took out a name card from her bag and passed to Yu Keyao. “Then I guess you’re my friend now that you mentioned it like that. I see that you’re innocent and pure, which are good qualities in a friend so let’s not stand on formality here. Let me know when you have the time to report to our company, meanwhile I’ll notify human resources department regarding this matter.”

Yu Keyao happily accepted the name card and kept it. “Miss Mu, are you busy today?”

“No, I just need to get back to the office, that’s all,” Mu Sisi immediately thought of her intention and answered.

“Then can I report to your company now?” Mu Sisi expected Yu Keyao’s question.

“Of course, not a problem at all. In that case then let us leave together,” Mu Sisi agreed and paid the bill, then they made their way to the office.

…

…

Song Yu had her lunch with Qi Chengzhi at Dynasty, then she was brought to his office at Qilin so that she could take a nap before leaving for work at Chengshi.

Song Yu was lying on bed-like compartment of the L-shaped sofa and Qi Chengzhi forcibly covered her in a blanket, even though she did not feel cold or drowsy at all.

“You kept feeding me this afternoon until I was so full, and now you want me to sleep when the food hasn’t digested much. You want me to die with a full stomach, is it?” Song Yu was too full and she needed to lie flat in order to feel comfortable.

She lifted her arm and squeezed the meat around it. She felt her arm circumference grew.

“Can’t sleep now?” Qi Chengzhi sat beside her at the other corner of the L-shaped sofa, his legs just beside her face.

His long and slender fingers gently brushed her hair aside, revealing her tiny and delicate face.

Recently Song Yu became more chubbier but her face remained the same as usual, it was still around the size of a palm.

His warm hand touched her delicate face and gently rubbing it with fingers.

“Yes, I ate too much,” Song Yu laid down in lateral position and lifted her head slightly to gaze at Qi Chengzhi.

He sat there looking graceful and elegant.

Qi Chengzhi gave her a warm smile and gently stroke her cheek.

Song Yu took away the pillow and patted the sofa. “Sit here, I want to lie down on your thigh.”

Qi Chengzhi smiled and moved to her side. He took away his shoes and rested his long legs on the sofa, signalling Song Yu to lie down after he adjusted his sitting position.

Song Yu’s hair became messy after these movements but Qi Chengzhi happily tidied up her hair with care.

Song Yu laid down in lateral position and rested her head on his thigh, her arms wrapping around his legs. She felt blessed to know she could hug him like this forever.

She slowly felt drowsy inhaling the familiar fragrance emitted from him.

She turned over and buried her face under his lower abdomen, but she felt uncomfortable as her nose pressed against the solid muscles on his lower abdomen.

Song Yu kept adjusting her position and finally she found the most comfortable spot, but Qi Chengzhi was on the edge.

Song Yu was poked by his boneration when she laid back down again.

“You…” Song Yu blushed and pinched the solid muscles on his waist.

“Don’t move, who asked you to move around like that?” Qi Chengzhi said with a husky voice, his hand now burning hot when he grabbed her hand and teasing her.

Song Yu blushed as red as a tomato and she buried her head deeper into his lower abdomen. Qi Chengzhi noticed her flushed ears and felt cute.

He grinned and started having fun pinching on her ears.

Song Yu lifted her face up after a while but her face appeared more red than before.

She signalled Qi Chengzhi to come closer.

Qi Chengzhi raised his eyebrows. He had no idea why Song Yu suddenly acted mysteriously so he moved his head closer to her.

Song Yu used her hands for cover while she was whispering into his ears despite the fact that they were alone in the room and did not need to worry if anyone was eavesdropping on them.

Qi Chengzhi was stunned and Song Yu became nervous as she had no idea what kind of reaction he just made.

She only saw his face from the side and felt his expression was a bit dull-witted.

Then he turned around, his gaze burned like hot coals and appeared as if he can set things alight with a glance.

Song Yu felt as if she was about to get burned to ashes. She trembled under his gaze and was soon held down by Qi Chengzhi. “Why did you tell me this now?”

“I was thinking about telling you tonight but looking at you now, I feared that you may face difficulty for self-control,” Song Yu’s voice quivered as she was hugged too tightly by Qi Chengzhi.

“Then let’s have a round now,” Qi Chengzhi suddenly became excited and said quickly.

“Don’t naughty, we’re in the office now, wait until we’re back home later,” Song Yu blushed.

“…” Qi Chengzhi narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction. “Then why are you telling me this now?”

“I wanted to give you something to expect later on,” Song Yu said with her face reddened, but her voice became softer and softer when she looked upon his deep eyes, almost as if she was whispering at the end.

“…” Qi Chengzhi remained silent, fixing his gaze steadily on her, making Song Yu felt uneasy as if she made a very terrible mistake.

“Don’t look at me like that,” Song Yu poked him.

Qi Chengzhi still fixed his gaze on her, one can see slight dissatisfaction and complaint in his eyes.

“You’re telling me now that the ban was removed, but you wouldn’t let me do it now when I’m having a boneration and I must wait until night time. Are you bullying me on purpose?” Qi Chengzhi complained, his handsome face shown seriousness and sternness, but he spoke words as frivolous as this with mellow voice.

His complaint was full of commiseration but it did not match with his voice and face.

Song Yu felt as if she did not have any humanity when she heard him. When she was debating with herself, she heard a door knock. “Big brother, Song Yu, are you guys here? It’s me.”

After the lesson last time, Qi Chengzhi learnt to always lock the door.

While Qi Chengyue always remembered to knock the door and would not barge into the office without any notice.

“Not here,” Qi Chengzhi said petulantly.

“…” Song Yu was speechless.

“…” Qi Chengyue too.

Song Yu grabbed the opportunity and said quickly, “I’ll get the door.”

Then she hurried to the door.

Qi Chengzhi smirked and gave a funny look to Song Yu who was almost at the door. Song Yu was tidying her hair when she heard his mock and looked upon his gaze. She blushed again when she had a guilty conscience.

“Am I disturbing you guys?” Qi Chengyue asked in uncertainty, her gaze shifted from Song Yu to Qi Chengzhi who was sitting on the sofa.

When Song Yu went to open the door, Qi Chengzhi quickly grabbed the blanket and put it on top of his thighs, covering the boneration he had.

“No,” Song Yu answered, lacking in confidence and avoiding Qi Chengyue’s gaze.

Qi Chengyue raised her eyebrows. She knew something was going on between Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi just now but she could not contain her curiosity and asked on purpose, “If not then why was your face so red?”

“…” Song Yu knew Qi Chengyue was asking on purpose and she glared at her.

Qi Chengyue held her laughter, then she immediately became serious when she heard Qi Chengzhi coughed.

She turned her head towards Qi Chengzhi and saw that he was sitting with a blanket on his crossed legs.

“Big brother, why are you covering yourself in blanket?” Qi Chengyue asked again as she felt this couple’s behaviour was bizarre.

“Cold,” Qi Chengzhi answered, his face expressionless.

“…” Qi Chengyue was stunned and remained speechless for a while, then she said, “It’s June now.”

Qi Chengzhi became cold and looked at Qi Chengyue with disgust. “Why are you here? Where is Cheng Dongge?”

“Did you forget that he went to J City for meeting today and will only be back this evening?” Qi Chengyue looked at him strangely as if he was possessed by extraterrestrials.

“…” Qi Chengzhi adjusted his posture and said, “It is normal to forget things when I’m busy at work.”

Qi Chengyue narrowed her eyes and measured him with the eye, attempting to find possible abnormality in him.

After looking at him for a while without success, she pulled Song Yu and sit down together. “I wanted to ask you something since Cheng Dongge wasn’t here.”

“What’s the matter?” Song Yu was surprised.

“Ehm… I’m accompanying Cheng Dongge to visit his parents in Li City this weekend,” Qi Chengyue blushed, her voice softened as she spoke.

“Really? That’s good news!” Song Yu said happily.

“You see, his mother wasn’t impressed with me and I’m not sure how his father thought of me, but her mother was very mindful of my divorced status and the Qi family’s background. First, Cheng Dongge remained single until now but I’m going to get married for the second time which was unfair to him. Secondly, she feared that I may act obstinate and self-willed and with the Qi family’s support, he may not get the respect he deserved. Thus I wanted to give them a good impression on first visit, what do you think I should get for them?” Qi Chengyue said.

“They’re very mindful of my status so I felt if the gift I bought was too expensive, they may think that I’m trying to oppress them with wealth, and because I was born with a silver spoon in the mouth, I have no idea how to differentiate from the cheap to the expensive. However if the gift I chose was too cheap, they may think I bought the gift on perfunctory thinking and can’t show my sincerity, so I want to ask for your opinion on the most suitable gift I can possibly get. If I ask Cheng Dongge, he will say anything is fine as long as I am sincere because they’re his parents,” Qi Chengyue struggled with the issues she faced and sighed.

Song Yu felt that Qi Chengyue really did changed. Initially it made no difference if he was Jian Yi or others, she would not even bother to ask what their parents would like as long as she had shown her intention. She would not care even if they dislike the gifts because anyhow her partner’s family background would not even be at the same level as the Qi family. Whenever she felt superior then she would not bother to know how her partner’s family would think.

However, now Qi Chengyue had to consider a lot of issues for Cheng Dongge’s family.
