Chapter 1: Encounter at the Bar

  "Should I open the door?" The doctor didn't seem to mind at all.

  Gu Jiaxi looked at her own appearance and said, "Can't I just pretend I'm not here?"

  At this time, a clear sound of opening the door came from outside. Gu Jiaxuan suddenly remembered that she had given Ye Xuanmo the key to her home, and it seemed that there was no escape now.

  "I'll disappear for a while." He didn't want anyone to know about him, "Don't mention me."

  "I know you're a wanted man!"

  "Your..." The footsteps got closer and closer. The doctor didn't bother to argue with her, turned around and jumped out from under the window. Anyway, there's always tomorrow.

  "Jia Xian!" Ye Xuan and Xiao Naiwa walked into the living room, "Son, Aunt Jia Xian won't really not be at home, will she?"

  "Mommy, the kitchen is still brewing coffee!" The little baby just came in and smelled the aroma of coffee.

  "Let's go take a look at the bedroom."

  "Good!"

  The room was very quiet, and Gu Jiaxiang could hear their conversation clearly. In order to die less miserably later, Gu Jiaxiang carefully shrank into the quilt, quietly closed her eyes, and pretended to sleep soundly, so she didn't hear any sounds.

  Ye Xuanmo pushed open the door and saw that Gu Jiaxuan was quietly asleep. In order not to disturb Gu Jiaxuan's rest, Ye Xuanmo and Xiaonaiwa carefully walked to the bedside and slowly sat down.

  Huh? It seems like I've pressed something.

  "Ah!" Gu Jiaxi suddenly bounced up from the bed, "It hurts! Sister, it hurts!"

  Ye Xuan Mo suddenly stood up, lifted the quilt and saw Gu Jia Chen's right leg in a plaster cast. Her face immediately turned black, "How did you do it?"

  "Hurt while filming a movie."

  "Jia Xian Auntie, you're telling a lie!" The little milk doll saw through her mind at a glance.

  "What's going on?" Ye Xuanmo's face was filled with anger.

  "Sister..."

  "Speak!"

  "...Gu Jiajing knew that this matter couldn't be hidden, the only thing she could do was to tell the truth honestly, and then strongly persuade Ye Xuanfei not to act impulsively."

  Ye Qianmo said she wouldn't be impulsive, but the next day, the news of Xingkong beating someone in public was still spread all over the sky.

  Ye Xuanmo gave Gu Jiaxi a simple reason. When she went to beat up that despicable person, it wasn't an impulsive act, but rather the result of careful consideration.

  At the high-level meeting held by Ou, it instantly turned into a criticism session, with everyone condemning Xingkong for lacking professional ethics and not only being unscrupulous himself but also dragging down the company.

  Ou Muxuan, however, remained calm and composed, ending the meeting with a single sentence: "I hit her because she deserved it. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility. Anyone who can't accept this can leave the company voluntarily."

  Ye Juanmo had wanted to ask Ou Muxuan for an explanation, but he seemed to have gone to the bathroom as soon as the meeting ended, looking very urgent. Ye Juanmo couldn't bring herself to follow him, so she sat in the conference room and waited for him to come out before speaking.

  However, Lin Xue was still in the conference room.

  "It's been years since we last met, and you've become quite fierce, even learning how to fight." Lin Xue sneered coldly, "I haven't even started yet, and you're already so eager to ruin your own image. What's the hurry?"

  "Save you time." Ye Xuanmo didn't mind his words, "By the way, Lin Xue, are you really not going to have a fair competition with me?"

  "Since it's a competition, there's no such thing as fairness," Lin Xue smiled calmly. "Just like when you came to Ou Shi and immediately relied on Ou Mu Xuan, didn't you also not plan on being fair?"

  "Do you think I'm taking advantage of Ou Mu Xuan?" What a joke, how did she take advantage? Obviously, it was Ou Mu Xuan who actively came over.

  "Are you not taking advantage of him?" Lin Xue asked back with a smile.

  "I'm taking advantage of it," Ye Xuan'er smiled, "otherwise, how could I defend against the sinister plots you play behind my back?"

  "Thinking of Ou Zong, he's really pitiful," Lin Xue shook her head and sighed. "Your kids are already so big, but you still want to pretend to be a pure girl, aren't you afraid that Ou Zong will find out?"

  "Are you worried about me?" Ye Xuan's smile was radiant.

  "Of course, after all, the good show has not started yet, you can't die at the starting line, right?" Lin Xue smiled lightly, as if she had already won.

  Ye Xuanmo leaned in close to him, "Lin Xue, Jia Jing is injured. I don't believe you have nothing to do with it."

  "It's not that there was no relationship at all," Lin Xue didn't deny, "I just gave her opponent a little hint, and unexpectedly it achieved the result I wanted."

  "What's your purpose in doing this?" Ye Xuanmo narrowed her eyes, looking at the man who was obviously sinister but pretended to be calm and collected.

  "Your good sister is implicated because of you, won't you feel guilty?" Lin Xue's lips curled up in a sly smile, "My greatest hobby is seeing your painful expression."

  "You're really bored." Ye Xuanfen put away the documents on her desk and prepared to leave.

  "Xing Ou is still half a month away from opening, Gu Jia is not standing up, are you sure you can hold up this scene by yourself?" Lin Xue was relentless.

  "How can I be alone?" Ye Xuanmo wanted to leave, but seeing the faintly visible corner of a robe at the door, she suddenly smiled brightly, "I still have my Ou Muxuan."

  "If he knew about those shameful things you did in the past, are you sure he would still be your Ou Mu Xuan?"

  "I'm absolutely sure!" Ye Xuan replied crisply, "And this time, I must win, not to defeat you, but for the future of me and Xun."

  "Let Ou Mu-xuan and Mo Han-xin get a divorce?" Lin Xue's words were laced with sarcasm, and upon seeing Ye Qian-yu nodding in agreement, the sarcastic tone on Lin Xue's face grew even thicker. "In that case, you'd best hide your shameful past well."

  "Thanks for reminding me, I will."

  "You..."

  "What are you doing standing there!" A very cold voice came from the doorway.

  "Xuān, I..." Mo Huanxin, who had been eavesdropping at the door, was momentarily speechless.

  Ye Xuan had long known that Mo Hanxin was eavesdropping, so she deliberately made herself sound very close to Ou Muxuan, just to annoy this woman who always stirred up trouble behind her back.

  "Wait!" Ye Xuan interrupted Mo Hanxin's words, "I have something to say to you."

  "Go to my office." Ou Mu Xuan said, casually picking up the files for Ye Qian Yu, "You, you scatter your files everywhere, making such a mess, and then can't find them when you need them."

  "I have you and that's enough!" Ye Xuanmo smiled with a satisfied face.

  Ou Mu Xuan was slightly stunned, knowing it was fake, but her heart still had an inexplicable surge of excitement. She smiled lightly and pinched Ye Xuan Mo's nose tip, "Want to go eat together after work?"

  "Alright!" Ye Xuanmo took advantage of the situation and hugged Ou Muxuan's arm.

  "Ah!" On the side, Mo Hanxin was extremely displeased, "She's using you, Ye Xuan is not true at all..."

  "If my existence can help her, I'd be delighted," he said to Mo Hanxin, but turned his head towards Lin Xue, his amber eyes narrowing slightly like a wolf, with a hint of bloodthirsty ruthlessness, "As for Starry Sky's past, I'm not interested. However, those who have been unfavorable to her in the past and still refuse to change their ways if they appear before her again, I will absolutely not show mercy." After saying that, he left with Ye Yunmo.
