Chapter 1068: [Bonus chapter] This Block Of WoodMu Chenyan looked at the people who were still waiting there and sneaked around to look their way but still pretended to be nonchalant. She had a hunch, so she asked, "This is your hotel?"
Xia Zhao rubbed his nose and coughed unnaturally, "Yes?"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" asked Mu Chenyan. "You're telling me I missed out on a chance to rip you off with a big discount?"
Xia Zhao smiled at that, "Should I compile the list of all my businesses and assets and give it to you?"
"What? Are you writing a dowry list now?" she joked.
"If you want me to, why not?" was his response which made her smile freeze. And seeing the sincerity on his face, she suddenly took a step back. She didn't even know why she did it but she felt like that sincerity was overwhelming. His tone had a different feeling than before. She knew he was always serious when he talked about taking responsibility. But right now, it didn't seem like he was just talking about responsibility.
This was too baffling to her.
"What's next? You're gonna write those industries under my name?"
"If you want it," he said. "Everything of mine is yours if you want it. Myself included."
Mu Chenyan gaped at him in disbelief before a smile crept up on her lips and she said, "What if I want to exclude you from the package and take everything else?"
"Although that'd hurt, we can still make this deal," was his response.
Mu Chenyan tsked at that, "You're so boring. You really can let go of all that money you worked hard for?"
"You and I both know that money has never been my favorite," replied Xia Zhao.
Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at him. But she knew he wasn't being pretentious. His life style was really simple. One of the most random gifts from his grandparents was already a priceless treasure. So, the value of money was different for him. It's not like they came from families where money was everything.
"I don't want it," said Mu Chenyan. "I don't even know what to do with my own money. What am I gonna do with yours? Burn it?"
"Burn it," he replied. "Just make sure, you're safe in the process."
Mu Chenyan was left speechless for a moment and said, "Why are you doing this today?"
"What?"
"Whatever you're doing," she said. "Stop it. I'm not used to it. It's making it difficult for me to yell at you."
"Okay, I'll stop," said Xia Zhao. "Tell me, what you're doing here? Is there anything I can do for you?"
"I can do it myself," she said.
"I know," he replied. "I know you can do everything yourself but I'm just letting you know that I'm here. So, use free labor. It won't hurt you."
"How can I make Master Xia Zhao work as free labor for me?"
"If I'm willing to work, why aren't you willing to let me work?"
Mu Chenyan pointed behind him at the men who were almost losing their minds seeing their boss talking to a woman over there. "I think your subordinates might get a heart attack if they saw you working for me as free labor."
"Then they'll just have to get used to it," said Xia Zhao. He took a pause and added, "Why are hesitating so much today? You actually have been using me a free labor since we were young. Are you forgetting that you even made me act like your horse and rode on me?"
Mu Chenyan suddenly turned thoughtful and nodded her head with a meaningful expression, "Hmm... Riding was fun."
Xia Zhao's eyes widened when he heard those words with that expression of hers, "Yanzi! Get your head out of the ditch!"
"What? I'm just saying it was fun," she said again trying to look very innocent but her eyes were betraying her badly.
He covered her eyes with his hand and took a deep breath. Then he leaned closer to her ear and said, "You better stop looking at me with those eyes of yours."
"Why?"
"Why? Do you still have the nerve to ask? You're practically undressing me with that gaze," said Xia Zhao. "Don't think I don't know what goes in that brain of yours."
Mu Chenyan held his hand and pulled it down from her eyes as she smiled at him, "You're not even a virgin anymore. Why are you still so shy? We are old now. You should really get over it."
"You're looking for trouble," he commented.
"When have I not?" she retorted as she quirked her brow at him.
Xia Zhao took a deep breath and said, "You should pay attention to the engagement. I'll see you after that."
"Why? Why not now?"
"Because I don't want you to miss out," he replied. "I have a few matters to deal with it. I'll be at the engagement party on time. Don't forget to call me if you need help. You can call me even if you don't want help. I don't mind." Mu Chenyan was rolling her eyes at him when he leaned over. His face came closer to hers and Mu Chenyan froze. His hot breath hit the side of her neck as his low voice entered her ear, "I almost forgot to mention that you're looking beautiful today."
With that, he stepped back. Satisfied with her stunned look, he tapped her nose and turned around to leave. Mu Chenyan was left looking at his back and placed a hand on her chest. "What the fuck! Who taught this block of wood how to flirt? And why is my steel heart even falling for his corny words?" She patted her chest, "You can't be this weak, hearty! He is the heartless one. You have to remember that at all times!"
She couldn't believe that she was actually moved by those words.
But the truth was something even she knew deep down.
It wasn't the words that worked.
It was the person who said those words.
She punched the air in exasperation before she went to do her business.
