Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Qing only responded with a light kiss, but how could Ye Xin be satisfied with this? She reached out and wrapped her arms around Mu Qing’s neck.

Mu Qing hesitated for a moment before he reached out to hug Ye Xin. It was impossible for him to refuse a beauty, after all. In fact, he knew Ye Xin’s personality very well, and he was aware of what she wanted. It was not that he was not moved. After all, her figure and appearance were all very attractive to men. Alas, she resembled Song Ning, and Song Ning was his daughter-in-law. When he looked at her face, he really could not bring himself to do that with her.

However, Ye Xin’s was quite unstable. She was insecure and relentlessly sought validation of her charm. It was quite obvious her arrogance was just a mask for her lack of confidence and insecurity.

Currently, what Ye Xin wanted most was to become Mu Qing’s woman. She wanted to compete with Liang Zhou for Mu Qing. He was aware of this and found it funny.

He knew that he could only calm her down now by making her his woman. He thought to himself, ‘Women. They’re all the same. How silly.’

…

Ye Xin’s heart was brimming with joy as she curled up under the blanket.

At this moment, Mu Qing’s voice rang from above her head.

“Get up. You need to go back soon. It’s getting late.”

Ye Xin pouted. “I don’t want to go back.”

Mu Qing remained silent.

After a few seconds, Ye Xin turned to face Mu Qing and hugged him as she said, “Alright, alright, I’ll go back. I’ll listen to you.”

Mu Qing caressed her face as he said, “Remember to do your job well. Your mission is to make my mother like you and transition to managing Zhuang Ji full time.”

“What about the Mu Corporation?” Ye Xin asked as she raised her head.

“We’ll take our time. There’s no rush,” Mu Qing said softly.

Ye Xin nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll listen to you and complete my mission.”

Mu Qing lowered his head to look at her before he said with a smile, “That’s good.”

Ye Xin felt a sweetness spreading in her heart. “What do you think if I call you Sir from now on? I think this form of address is rather nice…”

Mu Qing nodded. “That’s not a bad idea. Even if you call me Sir in front of others, it won’t arouse suspicion.”

Ye Xin’s joy at being acknowledged was written all over her face. She asked, “Sir, do you love me?”

Mu Qing looked at her as his fingers caressed her tender skin. He said with a smile, “Is there anyone who wouldn’t love a beauty like you?”

Ye Xin was delighted by this reply. Her eyes sparkled like the stars in the night sky as she said, “Sir, I love you with all my heart. Until death do us part!”

Mu Qing only smiled in response. He did not care if they were together or not, but he needed to show that he cared. He knew the words to say to advance. “Ye Xin, you’re so young. Do you regret this?”

Ye Xin hurriedly said, “Of course not! I’ve never thought of the years between us as a hindrance. I love you. It has nothing to do with age. You’re the ideal man for me! You’re the only one for me!”

Mu Qing gently kissed the top of Ye Xin’s head.

Ye Xin lowered her head at this time and pouted. “However, I’m not the only one you love…”

Mu Qing smiled. “Are you talking about Liang Zhou?”

Ye Xin remained silent.

Mu Qing said, “Liang Zhou and I have long lost our passion. We’re living our own lives. However, I need the marriage to shield me. Ye Xin, you’re still young. You don’t understand the thoughts of older people like me.”

When Ye Xin heard the sadness in Mu Qing’s voice, her heart softened immediately. “You’re not old! Don’t say that you’re old! In my eyes, you’re mature, stable, and charming. All the young men in the world can’t compare to you!”

Mu Qing smiled. “Thank you for comforting me, Ye Xin. When I’m with you, I feel young again. It’s an honor that you think so highly of me.”

Upon hearing these words, happiness flooded Ye Xin’s heart again.
