“Mizuki, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know if this would delay your work…” Xinran said apologetically, looking at the somewhat unreal Mukai Saki across from her.
“Miss Xia, what you’re saying makes me uneasy. You are the president's girlfriend; isn’t it only natural for you to invite me out for a drink?” Mukai Saki smiled lightly, raising her hand to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear, revealing a pair of captivating eyes fixed on Xinran.
In her eyes, Summer was beautiful yet pitiful. From the beginning, she was merely a pawn chosen by Young Master Si and Mu Family's Second Young Master. Because she chose to date Mu Family's Second Young Master, regardless of the authenticity of her feelings, she could not escape Young Master Si's deliberate approach towards her.
Due to the grievances from the previous generation’s relationships, Young Master Si harbored a twisted hostility towards Mu Family's Second Young Master. His aim was to ensure that his brother would remain lonely for life. Therefore, he would not allow any woman to stay by the Second Young Master's side, regardless of whether they were truly his girlfriend. Moreover, Summer was openly acknowledged as the Second Young Master's girlfriend…
Mukai Saki viewed the Second Young Master Augus as an unsettled man. He understood his brother's hostility but did not avoid it; instead, he occasionally sought out women to spice up his life and engage in a game with his brother. Usually, those women were handled directly by Shou under Young Master Si’s orders. However, Summer was the first woman that Young Master Si personally intervened with, and it was only natural for her to fall for him because Young Master Si’s charm was irresistible to any woman, including Mukai Saki herself.
Yet she was somewhat foolish in that her admiration for Young Master Si was purely superficial; she felt no love for him since all her affection was given to her nominal father Mukai Hisashi. Compared to Summer, she couldn’t tell who was more pitiful. Her love felt like a small boat adrift in the vast ocean, unable to reach shore and forever restless, while Summer’s love resembled a view obscured by clouds in the deep mountains—seemingly real yet possibly painful!
“Actually, I just wanted to ask you today if Zhong Si has returned yet?” Xinran asked timidly. Her pride didn’t allow her to do such things for love, yet her heart was in turmoil as she missed the man who seemed unreachable.
In the end, she couldn’t help but call Zhong Si, only for Mukai Saki to answer. That led to their current meeting. Xinran thought that if she could learn about Zhong Si’s whereabouts from Mukai Saki, it would be better than guessing aimlessly and being unable to settle down. Now she couldn’t even dare to think about how a couple could go over a month without contact—not even a single phone call—was this still considered a relationship?
“Miss Xia, the president should still be away. If he had returned, he would have contacted me first as his secretary. I believe there might be some complicated matters holding up his schedule; please don’t worry too much!”
“Then… do you have any way to contact him?” Xinran couldn’t help but smile wryly. Here she was, questioning her boyfriend’s secretary as his girlfriend. Could she really reach him? Those unaware might think this secretary was a third party between them; however, if this third party were such a beautiful woman, Summer might feel like they were evenly matched or even concede defeat. But in reality, this third party might be someone else entirely—a woman she could only see in photographs…
“I’m sorry, Miss Xia. The president has a dedicated secretary in Japan who handles his daily affairs temporarily; therefore, I don’t have his contact information. This phone is solely for handling matters when the president is unavailable.”
"Alright, I understand." Xinran nodded, stirring the coffee in her cup with a spoon while gazing out at the bustling traffic outside. She said lightly, "At this moment, I suddenly feel as if I've walked out of a dream..."
In an instant, Xinran realized that her love for Dong Shan Zhong might have been too intense. So many things were intertwined, causing her feelings for him to grow uncontrollably, leaving her completely defenseless. And when he suddenly exited her life, she could no longer find him; everything felt like a dream. Now that she was awake, it seemed as if nothing had ever happened...
If Mukai Saki were not sitting in front of her, she might truly believe that her acquaintance and romance with Dong Shan Zhong were merely illusions, fantasies!
