Chapter 130

Chapter 130

The second of this month-last week, in other words-had been the one-hundred-day anniversary of Xia Wanzhi and Xie Qiyan’s relationship.

That day, Xie Qiyan had given her a bouquet of flowers and a necklace.

He hadn’t spelled anything out. He’d only said, simply, that he was happy, so Xia Wanzhi had assumed he was happy because he’d won the bid and because Yuexia Entertainment had gone public.

In the comments, someone asked about the cat in Xie Qiyan’s profile picture.

Xie Qiyan replied one by one-

His name is Changsheng.

He takes her surname.

He’s our son.

He’s fourteen.

I stole him from her when he was little.

…

The comments exploded, everyone gushing over their childhood-sweetheart romance.

But Xie Qiyan clarified the childhood-sweetheart part-

We weren’t childhood sweethearts. We were separated for fourteen years.

So someone else asked if he’d stolen Xiao Wanzi’s cat because he wanted to keep something to remember her by.

Xie Qiyan answered no-

My brain short-circuited at the time.

Xia Wanzhi laughed out loud, but as she laughed, her tears started pouring down again.

By the time she reached the end of Weibo, besides remembering the sweetness of the past hundred-plus days of their relationship, what Xia Wanzhi felt most deeply was how much Xie Qiyan liked her.

Xie Qiyan loved her very much.

She had always known that.

But only at this moment did she understand that Xie Qiyan’s love for her went far, far beyond what she had imagined.

Not just beyond. So much. Even more. An endless amount.

Xia Wanzhi wiped her tears and saw Zhuzi handing her a tissue. She took it and dabbed at her eyes, then suddenly laughed again.

Zhuzi had overheard the conversation between Jiang Yourong and Xia Wanzhi just now. At this moment, she had only just recovered from Xie Qiyan’s Weibo, clutching her heart with a stunned expression. “So this is what love looks like. Sis, I really never imagined President Xie would be like this when he was dating you.”

“Yes. Being in love with him is the greatest fortune of my life.” Xia Wanzhi took a deep breath, got up, and stood for a while in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The weather was clear today. Everything in the world seemed lovely.

All of a sudden, she really wanted to see Xie Qiyan.

“Zhuzi, take me to find Xie Qiyan. I-”

The words on her lips stopped abruptly the moment she saw Xie Qiyan.

Zhuzi grinned and teased, “Our Muxia Wanzi really are of one heart. Teacher Mu Xia, come in and have a seat. Our Xiao Wanzi will personally receive you.”

Yu Fei, who had come along behind Xie Qiyan hoping to join in the fun, was there too. Seeing him, Zhuzi walked straight over, half dragging and half pulling him out of the Studio. “Do not look upon what is improper. Hurry up and go.”

Yu Fei protested with a string of hey, hey, heys. Unable to shake off Zhuzi’s grip on his arm, he could only resist with his mouth. “How is this ‘do not look upon what is improper’? You’re a girl, how are you so rough? You…”

Even as he was being dragged forward, his love of gossip made him glance back. Once he saw clearly what exactly was improper to look at, Yu Fei abruptly yanked his gaze away and swallowed the rest of his words.

Xie Qiyan was standing right where he was. Xia Wanzhi had already strode straight toward him, her arms hooking unerringly around Xie Qiyan’s neck as she offered up a deep, passionate kiss like a sacrifice.

A fervent kiss. An emotional kiss.

Seeing Yu Fei suddenly fall silent, Zhuzi gave a soft snort. “Told you not to look.”

Zhuzi knew her boss’s personality better than anyone.

When emotions ran deep, she would want to sprint toward the person she wanted to see-and at that moment, the person she wanted to see had arrived before her first.

Just like in a movie.

At a moment like this, the heroine’s heart would be shaken to its core.

More than moved-she would be overwhelmed by feeling.

Although Yu Fei loved sticking his nose into excitement, he didn’t have the guts to peep at his superior making out with the Boss’s Wife. He rubbed his nose and struck up a conversation with Zhuzi. “You’re pretty young, but I didn’t expect you to be so good at reading the room.”
Zhuzi clicked her tongue. “You’re old enough, but your eyesight’s terrible too.”

Yu Fei bristled. “Hey! I’m only twenty-six!”

Zhuzi ignored him.

“Your little assistant really has no manners…”

When they reached the entrance of the Sky Garden, Zhuzi looked up at the garden scenery beyond the glass doors. Then her gaze dropped, landing on the petals and hearts scattered all over the floor. She suddenly clamped down hard on Yu Fei’s arm.

Yu Fei let out a squeal like a slaughtered pig.

Following Zhuzi’s line of sight, he blurted, “Holy shit-”

Thinking back to the latest Weibo post, the two of them exchanged a look, and everything clicked into place.

“Your boss is seriously bold.” Yu Fei gave a thumbs-up.

“Those two really are made for each other.” Zhuzi was utterly shaken.

One had secretly opened a Weibo account to record their dating life.

The other had taken the initiative to propose for love.

True love was invincible.

Inside the Studio, Xie Qiyan indulged Xia Wanzhi as she lightly nipped and kissed him. Then he turned the tables, parting her lips and sweeping in.

Xia Wanzhi’s lashes were faintly damp as she followed his rhythm.

Only when the heated kiss softened into something lingering did Xia Wanzhi cling to his shoulders and let him kiss her eyes.

“Not afraid someone will see?” Xie Qiyan teased.

“If they see, they see. Everyone knows you opened a Weibo account to show off our relationship now. Your posts are so obvious that people in our circle who know us have probably guessed Mu Xia is you…”

Xie Qiyan coughed lightly. “I didn’t expect it to spread like this.”

Xia Wanzhi rose on tiptoe and bit his lower lip. “You never told me your Weibo was public.”

Xie Qiyan felt guilty.

“If I’d known your Weibo was public, I would’ve read it openly last time. Then I wouldn’t have only found out today that you’re so…”

Xia Wanzhi’s cheeks warmed. Too embarrassed to finish, she buried herself in his arms and gave a soft little huff.

“So what? Can’t a man have a few little secrets?” Xie Qiyan’s voice was slightly hoarse, affection flowing through his eyes as he smiled and rubbed her head. “If I’d known Teacher Wanzi would be this enthusiastic after reading my Weibo, I would’ve shown it to you sooner.”

Xia Wanzhi sniffled and tightened her arms around his waist.

“Xie Qiyan, being with you is really wonderful.” Xia Wanzhi closed her eyes, greedily taking in his scent.

As long as he was there, she felt at peace.

The two of them were still lost in their sweetness when Yu Fei suddenly flashed in from outside.

Xia Wanzhi saw him, let go, and poked Xie Qiyan, signaling for him to look behind him.

Xie Qiyan cast Yu Fei a displeased look.

Yu Fei didn’t want to interrupt the young couple either, but he had no choice. He reported, “President Jiang liked and commented on your post. Netizens dug it up, and he accidentally exposed your identity as CEO of Xie Corporation.”

Xie Qiyan: “…”

Before Yu Fei could explain, Jiang Baichuan himself called to confess. “Bro, let me explain. I forgot to switch to my Weibo side account…”

“Get to the point.” Xie Qiyan still didn’t know the details.

Jiang Baichuan coughed lightly. “Well, I used my main Weibo account to like your post.”

His main Weibo account was verified with his identity as President of Jiang Corporation.

And liking the post hadn’t been enough. Unfortunately, he’d also left a comment-

If that necklace the brothers cleared the way for you on and didn’t bid on ends up being useless, sell it to me?

Although he deleted the comment afterward.

But the netizens had screenshotted it at the speed of light.

Netizens these days were frighteningly sharp. After guessing that Mu Xia had an unusually close relationship with Jiang Baichuan, they immediately dug up the fact that Mu Xia was Xie Qiyan himself.

Xie Qiyan: “…”
