“OMG!” Louis walked closer towards Xiao Yuanmu, sized up the other’s lips, which still held a faint smile, and murmured, “Is Song Xuanhe some kind of god? I have to meet him.”
“It’d be best if you didn’t.” Yang Jie followed after him and commented with an expressionless face. PAZrm7
Louis was puzzled. “Why?”
“No reason.” Yang Jie turned around and spoke to Joe, who was currently checking the agenda. “Is Hoffman coming over today?”
Joe responded to his question while mentally organizing the meeting minutes. “Yes. If Mr. Hoffman doesn’t get stuck in traffic, he should arrive within ten minutes.”
Speak of the devil, and the devil shall come. Just as Joe had finished speaking, a secretary knocked on the door and quietly said, “Mr. Hoffman’s car has already arrived downstairs. However, his bodyguards are unwilling to wait downstairs. They insist on coming up here with him. HblWkM
“He has several people with him.
“Mr. Hoffman has brought seven people in total with him, including his bodyguards.”
Joe nodded and walked over to pass on the message to Xiao Yuanmu. When Louis heard this, he said, “As expected from a member of the Hoffman family. What a large squad he’s brought with him.”
Xiao Yuanmu only nodded slightly and gave the following instructions: “It’s fine. Let his subordinates come up with him. Brew Mr. Hoffman a cup of instant coffee as well.” 4kd9lo
Joe paused. Surprised, he asked, “Excuse me?”
“Do as you were told.” Xiao Yuanmu’s expression was cool. He had no intention of explaining himself.
Joe headed to Xiao Yuanmu’s office and went to prepare the coffee. Louis asked, “Are you planning on teaming up with Hoffman? Won’t this instant coffee cause his bodyguards to explode? After all, his bodyguards are likely from his mother’s side.”
Yang Jie was also worried. However, he had blind faith in Xiao Yuanmu. He thought that the other had his reasons for everything he did. Therefore, he was greatly displeased by Louis’s doubt. “Xiao ge
“No.”
Yang Jie turned to look at Louis again. “Trust me. There’s no need to make a bet over this. Jung Hoffman’s a smart man. He wouldn’t do something that stupid.”
“What do you think he’ll do then?” SmLN87
“I’m not him, how would I know?” Louis said, “But, what I do know is that what you’re worried about won’t happen. The people who should be worried are the Schroder Family, who had transported the drug into China, and the two who had tried to hurt Xiao’s boyfriend with it.”
Xiao Yuanmu said in a flat voice, “He has a name.”

Louis raised a brow. Who knew what he recalled, but his voice took on a teasing tone. “What did Mr. Song say to you earlier? I’ve never seen you smile like that before…. You looked head-over-heels.”
When Yang Jie had heard this, his ears also pricked up. To tell the truth, although he’d seen Xiao Yuanmu smile a few times before, that had only ever been in private. He had never seen the other smile like that in front of so many other people before. 4i5pcI
When Xiao Yuanmu recalled what Song Xuanhe had said in a tone that suggested he had pent-up grievances, he smiled again. Light seemed to radiate from his eyes.
“Just what did he say?” Louis was even more curious upon seeing Xiao Yuanmu’s expression. “Did he tell you he loves you? No, right? It’s normal for lovers to tell each other ‘I love you.’ That probably wouldn’t make your eyes light up like this.”
Xiao Yuanmu looked at Louis. There was now a look of confusion in his jet-black eyes. He asked in an uncertain tone, “Is it normal for couples to tell each other ‘I love you?’”
“Of course.” Louis nodded. When he saw Xiao Yuanmu’s expression though, he hesitated for a second before widening his eyes and saying, “Have you guys never said it before?!” 7Vf6QR
Eve: It would be weird for them to have said it given their complicated relationship. I do love this fake relationship to real relationship trope. Was always one of my favourite fanfiction tropes.
Kara: *evil laughs* Hahaha, I love Mumu’s petty side. He really said: I won’t work with anyone who tries to harm my boyfriend, hmph! <(`^´)> I also love seeing his more innocent side as he learns how to properly love SXH. ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)
xiin: *holds the tiny piece of fluff like a treasure* ahhhh it’s so adorable that Mumu’s all confused about what a normal relationship should be like ><
