After he hung up, Mu Yuchen quickly threw his phone aside and took a sip of tea.

“What are you smiling about?”

Xi Xiaye saw the meaningful smile on Mu Yuchen’s face, so she could not help but ask.

Mu Yuchen then looked at her and smiled. “Nothing much. I just find that the Qi Lei now is a completely different person from before.”

“Of course, before this, he was the Second Master Qi, but now, he’s a rather affectionate person. When I saw what he did for Liuyun before this, at least, I felt a little moved. Mr. Mu, you weren’t that nice to me before! If it wasn’t for the fact that you’re doing pretty well now, I think I’d be very envious of Dongfang Liuyun.”

Xi Xiaye did not hide her surprise at all.

When she heard this, Mu Yuchen glanced at her disapprovingly. “Which part of me didn’t satisfy you? Ungrateful woman.”

Xi Xiaye lowered her brows and smiled. When she looked up, her beautiful face was calm. “Are you sick of me?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Mu Yuchen frowned and glanced at her.

Xi Xiaye then coughed a few times and lowered her eyes. “Then, why haven’t you hugged me like you usually do when we were sleeping these past few nights?”

When she said this, Mu Yuchen’s handsome face instantly froze—

“I’ve had a little cold these past few days. I was worried that I’d infect you. You’re a little petty, Missus.”

Mu Yuchen criticized her bluntly.

Xi Xiaye pursed her lips and leaned back. “Aren’t you all better?”

“I didn’t see you care about me either.”

“Who said that? Who’s the one who brought you the medicine this morning?”

…

The next morning, when Dongfang Liuyun woke up from his sleep, Qi Lei was no longer there. When she packed up and went downstairs to eat breakfast, she did not see Qi Lei either, but the breakfast was still hot in the kitchen pot.

There was a note on the dining table saying that he had gone out and would not be back for lunch.

Dongfang Liuyun was stunned for a moment. Then, he ate breakfast alone and went to work.

Then…

At this moment, by the South River.

Qi Lei rushed over early in the morning to inspect the construction site. Vice President Zhang Lan also came over. They were discussing the data that Mu Yuchen had mentioned earlier.

“Mmm, don’t worry, President Qi. Since you’ve checked with Chairman Mu, there won’t be any problems. I’ll get them to do it according to the revised data.”

Vice President Zhang Lan closed the doc.u.ment in her hand as she said this.

“I’m very relieved that you’re doing things. You’ll have to put in some effort on the matters here. If you have any problems, feel free to look for me.” Qi Lei also said with concern.

“Okay. Then I’ll go back first and give them the data,” Zhang Lan replied.

“Master Qi!”

At this moment, Yang Sheng’s anxious voice came from the side as soon as Zhang Lan finished speaking.

Qi Lei turned his head and glanced at Yang Sheng. There was some reproach in his eyes, which scared Yang Sheng so much that he did not dare to speak. Qi Lei turned his head and looked at Zhang Lan apologetically.

Zhang Lan nodded and said, “It’s fine. President Qi, you can go back to work. I’ll go back first. If there’s anything, I’ll contact you again.”

After that, she left as well.

Seeing Zhang Lan leave, Yang Sheng came up to him and looked at Qi Lei carefully. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

“What happened? Why are you so fl.u.s.tered?”

Qi Lei looked at him with a frown.

Yang Sheng took a deep breath and said softly, “Master Qi, something happened!”

Qi Lei frowned even more when he heard that. He looked at Yang Sheng and waited for him to continue.

Yang Sheng then handed the newspaper to Qi Lei—

“Take a look. The entire page of this morning’s paper is filled with Missus and…”

Yang Sheng did not dare to finish his sentence. He only looked at Qi Lei carefully.

Missus?

Qi Lei was naturally very sensitive about Dongfang Liuyun’s matter. Upon hearing Yang Sheng’s words, he immediately s.n.a.t.c.hed the newspaper from his hand and opened it to read.

He saw that on the front page of the newspaper, Dongfang Liuyun and Fujiwara were drinking together. The picture of them walking together filled the entire page. It seemed to be very intimate.

It was a picture-and-text news. Naturally, it was about Fujiwara and Dongfang Liuyun. It was even reported that Fujiwara and Dongfang Liuyun were lovers.

“Master Qi, now, even Weibo is reporting about this matter. Many people are scolding Missus on Weibo. They said that Missus is cheating on you…” Yang Sheng said helplessly.

Qi Lei’s expression naturally turned gloomy—

Those photos were naturally from yesterday. Qi Lei was clear about what happened yesterday too!

It was very obvious that someone had taken these photos on purpose and made these one-sided reports. They wanted to shine a negative light on Dongfang Liuyun and put pressure on her through public opinion!

Just like the last time!

The more Qi Lei read, the darker his expression became. The aura that had gathered on his body also instantly turned cold, and even Yang Sheng could not help but feel a stifling chill.

A moment later, Qi Lei suddenly crumpled the newspaper into a ball. A hint of cold sharpness shot out from his black eyes, and his deep voice was as cold as steel…

“Go and find out whose work this was. Also, this newspaper company, give them a bit of a warning. Let them know what it means to know their limits.”

Qi Lei’s expression was very calm, and he did not seem to be much different from before. However, the chill that emanated from his entire body made people tremble slightly, and even Yang Sheng felt the same.

“Yes, Master Qi!” Yang Sheng replied in a low voice.

“Deal with what needs to be dealt with. I don’t want to see this news appear in the newspapers. Restore everything that happened last night. Find the person who took the photo and deal with it.” Qi Lei ordered coldly.

“Understood!” Yang Sheng replied, then turned around and left.

Qi Lei took a deep breath and tossed the newspaper in his hand to the side. He raised his hand to rub the s.p.a.ce between his brows. His handsome face showed a hint of fatigue.

The cold wind blew on his face, causing it to hurt. Qi Lei also felt a dull pain in his heart. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly took out his phone from his pocket and made a call to w.a.n.g Chun.

w.a.n.g Chun quickly picked up!

“Second Master!”

w.a.n.g Chun’s voice came through. “About the Missus…”

It was obvious that w.a.n.g Chun already knew about this and was thinking about what to do.

“I already know. Make the arrangements immediately. Tomorrow, I’m going to shoot a photobook of every day marriage life with your Missus. Also, she and I will personally be the male and female lead for the ‘precious’ ring advertis.e.m.e.nt.”

Before w.a.n.g Chun could finish his sentence, Qi Lei had already told him this.

At this moment, w.a.n.g Chun already understood Qi Lei’s intention—

He also wanted to use this kind of exposure to use actual actions to destroy such rumors…
