No, no, we were clearly talking about Mina, how did it suddenly turn into a discussion about me?
It's better not to talk too much about my relationship with Xiao Minxing in front of Su Qian.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly said, "We can't compare the two, right? What I want to know now is what Mina is thinking. Is she feeling better? Is she going to accept Longwen? If not, when will she come back?"
Su Qian turned to glance out the window, his voice suddenly sounding ethereal as if it didn't come from him: "I hope she doesn't accept."
"Huh? Why? You’re not going to tell me you like Mina, are you?" I asked him, almost scaring myself with my own words.
Su Qian quickly turned back to look at me and said, "You're overthinking it. Mina and I can only be friends; we're not the same kind of people."
I continued with my thoughts, "That's good then. You should find someone who belongs to you; after all, you're so outstanding."
He didn't respond to that but kept looking at me for a long time.
This kind of gaze made me uneasy. I stood up to refill my coffee and said, "So the current situation is that Mina has accepted Longwen and is waiting to get married?"
Su Qian nodded and casually said, "That should be the case. She hasn't shown any other intentions, and Longwen really treats her well. Since arriving in Hong Kong, he has spoiled her immensely. It's just that Mina feels conflicted; if it were another woman, she'd probably be over the moon."
But how could Mina be like anyone else? She has always been independent and carefree without relying on men, so naturally, she doesn't need to please anyone. The fact that she can move to Hong Kong for Longwen already seems unbelievable to me.
Su Qian also mentioned that as her family, we fully support her decision, whether she chooses to marry or return; we can accept either.
Hearing this made me laugh: "Of course! Do you know why Xiao Minxing wants me to manage this company? It's because he hopes that one day when Mina comes back, it can still be handed over to her."
Su Qian looked at me and asked, "Really?"
"Of course, he knows Mina is my best friend and understands the risks of marrying someone from another place, so he has already prepared a backup plan for her."
Speaking of this, I really have to give Xiao Minxing a thumbs up. Although before, because of my relationship with him, Mina became the villain caught in between us, it seems that they have changed their views on each other because of me, which is what I wanted to see the most.
Su Qian was acting strangely today during our chat, as if he wasn't paying attention at all. I was excitedly talking when I turned to see him sitting quietly, his gaze wandering off somewhere, lost in thought.
Just like now, after I praised Xiao Minxing, when I looked at him, his eyes were fixed on the coffee cup in front of him, completely unaware of where his mind had drifted.
I gently tapped the table with my finger to wake him up.
"Alright, I know you're tired from your trip to Hong Kong. You should go back and rest. Now that I know Mina is fine, I'm relieved."
He didn't linger much and stood up to leave, asking, "Has Guan Mingyue contacted you recently?"
"No, I came here for work, so I should be quite far from you all. It wouldn't be easy for her to find me."
Su Qian nodded and walked out.
I didn't think much about why he acted that way or what he meant by his question as he left. Instead, I focused on the Gift he gave me and pondered how to explain it to Xiao Minxing when I got back.
In this matter, Xiao Minxing definitely isn't considered a generous person.
Especially towards Su Qian. Last time he got furious over just a few words; I dare not bring this up in front of him again without knowing what might happen.
However, I had already informed him in advance about our meeting this time, and even Su Qian said that the Gift was given with his consent. If I hadn't mentioned it, wouldn't it seem like I had something to hide?
After thinking it over, I still felt that being honest was the better approach. So after work, I drove to find Xiao Minxing. This way, even if he wanted to get angry, he would be at the office in front of so many people, and it wouldn't lead to another argument. Plus, by taking the initiative to admit my mistake, it should help calm him down.
Since Xiao Minxing changed workplaces, the entire atmosphere has been different from when he was at Zhi Xing.
In the large Office, his assistant was sitting outside. If I wanted to see him, I had to pass through the gaze of those assistants.
It really felt like meeting a big boss.
However, those who could be Xiao Minxing's assistants naturally understood their boundaries. They clearly saw me but pretended not to know anything, allowing me to quietly walk past them.
Xiao Minxing was sitting behind his desk. Hearing the door open, he probably thought it was his assistant and casually said, “The documents for Project Three need to be confirmed by the client as soon as possible. You should have the responsible Manager handle this; we need results within two days.”
I responded with an "oh," and only then did he look up at me.
With a hint of surprise, he asked, “What are you doing here? Didn’t you say you disliked coming here?”
As I walked toward him, I replied, “I do dislike it; it feels a bit like going to court in ancient times.”
Xiao Minxing leaned back in his chair and laughed, “That shouldn’t be the case. If it were ancient times, you would be seeing me in the harem.”
“Oh, does that mean I would also have to see your three thousand beauties in the harem?”
At this point, I had reached the front of his desk. Xiao Minxing touched my hand and said, “Hmm, maybe. But I think those three thousand beauties must have had a tough time; in the end, they would all drown.”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that heartless?"
Xiao Minxing exerted a bit of force with his arm, pulling me in front of him. I lost my balance and ended up sitting directly on his lap.
He seemed quite pleased with this, the corners of his mouth lifting as he softly said, "If you're drowned in jealousy, you can't blame me."
I hurriedly looked towards the glass door, still able to vaguely see the assistants outside busy at work. I quickly got up from him and said, "When did you become so lewd? This office is visible to others; you should be mindful of your image."
He casually picked up a remote control from the table, and in just a moment, the entire office was covered by blinds, sealing it off completely. The door lock clicked shut with a heavy sound.
High technology truly amazes me, but what astonishes me even more is the man in front of me, who actually pulled me back and asked, "Is it okay now?"
"What? We have so many things to do when we get home; why do it like this? What if someone sees us?"
I anxiously tried to push him away, but Xiao Minxing had already leaned in close to my ear.
The warm breath hit my face, stimulating every nerve there.
I felt like my soul was leaving my body; although my hand was still gripping his, I had an impulse hoping he would do something.
Then I heard Xiao Minxing say, "What I mean is, can we talk about why you've been acting so strangely today? You came all this way to pick me up after work, right?"
