With a faint smile on his lips, he looked at her and said,
"This is my promise. Whether it is used or not is up to Miss Mu's wishes. But before making a decision, I hope Miss Mu will consider carefully and not miss the opportunity."
After being reminded by him, Mu Ronyao's mind became much clearer. All her self-pity disappeared, and she began to make plans. However, even so, she would not be grateful to him! Instinctively, she felt that this man was too dangerous and that she should not get close to him! Regardless of his stunning appearance, perfect figure, and seductive voice… more importantly, it was the power he represented behind him!
Mu Ronyao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She looked up at Ye Xuanchen and said,
"Mr. Ye, thank you. I will consider it. As for what happened today… no, what happened before, let's just forget about it."
Ye Xuanchen frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Now that their identities had been revealed, why was she still playing this game?
Mu Ronyao smiled confidently, raised her head slightly, and once again became the invincible Director Mu.
"This incident was just an unexpected event in our normal lives. From now on, we will return to the right track. Fortunately, this incident didn't cause any harm to either of us. Let's just forget about it and move on, shall we?"
In other words, they were two people from different worlds. If it weren't for this unexpected incident, they wouldn't even have had the chance to meet!
"There was no loss," which meant that for her, knowing him did not bring her any happiness. She wanted to draw a clear boundary! Mu Ronyao's words were tactful but firm.
Ye Xuanchen was once again infuriated by her, but he also understood her character. She was like an unbeatable little wildcat! He took a deep breath and did not let himself lose his composure.
"However, what I said still stands. If you need anything, come find me at Night Emperor Jiayuan."
Ye Xuanchen nodded, straightened his clothes, and pushed the door open to leave. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be driven crazy by Mu Ronyao's attitude.
In all his years in the business world, Ye Xuanchen had never met someone so ignorant and unappreciative. Yet, even though he was furious, he didn't hate her. In the past, he would have either ignored such a person or taken action against them, but now all he could think about was how he would have to "train" this stubborn woman sooner or later!
After Ye Xuanchen left, Mu Ronyao finally breathed a sigh of relief and curled up on the bed. She couldn't believe how much courage it had taken to speak to him just now. Her back was soaked with sweat! But she believed her choice was the right one.
From now on, they would never meet again. They should never have met in the first place!
After coming to this realization, Mu Ronyao quickly changed her clothes and slipped out through the back door. This time, she didn't feel lost or confused. She took a taxi straight to the hotel.
She contacted the real estate company overnight and asked them to sell the house she owned as soon as possible. Then she quickly bought a property in an old neighborhood in the city center and planned to arrange her new home the next day.
Mu Ronyao was not someone to be trifled with. If someone dared to step on her toes, they had better be prepared to pay the price. She thought angrily before going to bed.
When Ye Xuanchen returned home, he immediately called Xiao Sheng over.
As soon as Xiao Sheng entered the door, a knife flew toward him. He dodged several times with difficulty, only to find more knives flying at him.
"Boss, what are you doing?!"
He was scared out of his wits when he realized it was their boss throwing the knives.
"Boss, I don't want to play knife games with you!"
He thought this in his heart but didn't dare say it out loud.
Whenever their boss went crazy, someone always got punished.
Xiao Sheng jumped around the hallway for nearly half an hour before Ye Xuanchen finally stopped. By then, he was drenched in sweat and completely exhausted.
"Come in," Ye Xuanchen said from inside.
Xiao Sheng wiped his sweat and walked in, bowing his head and standing straight. Their boss had a rule: when being punished, one must stand at attention.
"You hid Mu Ronyao's matter from me," Ye Xuanchen said calmly, playing with a butterfly knife as if it were nothing.
Xiao Sheng instantly broke out in cold sweat. He had been found out!
"Where are the files?" Ye Xuanchen asked.
"They're here—with me!"
"Hand them over."
Xiao Sheng quickly took the documents from his bag and handed them over respectfully.
"Boss… I just wanted to… keep some mystery for you…"
Ye Xuanchen kicked him in the chest, sending Xiao Sheng stumbling backward and falling to the ground.
"Get lost!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Sheng didn't dare make a sound and quickly fled.
After resting for a night, Mu Ronyao's mood had calmed down a little.
She got up in the morning, put on some makeup, and went straight to the new house.
Although the previous house was nice, she didn't even want to step inside once she thought about Qin Weiying sleeping there!
After selling it, she could at least get some money back and plan for herself.
Her funds were limited now, so it was impossible to buy a house as good as before.
She decided to buy a simple old house as a temporary solution and change it later when conditions allowed.
After planning roughly in her mind, Mu Ronyao arrived at the real estate agency, followed the staff to view the house, signed the contract, and made the payment.
"I'll move in a week. I'll leave the rest to you."
She then found a renovation company, stated her requirements, paid the money, and stopped worrying about it.
She needed to focus her time and energy on more important matters.
After handling the miscellaneous issues, Mu Ronyao checked the time—it was already 2 p.m.
She had planned to go to the company, but it was probably too late now. It would be better to rest and go tomorrow.
After making up her mind, Mu Ronyao called Xu Xinyu and asked her to have dinner together.
"You still remember to call me!"
After Xu Xinyu sat down, she glared at Mu Ronyao and said,
"You made me so angry yesterday by leaving without saying goodbye!"
Mu Ronyao felt a little embarrassed and smiled.
"You know I don't like those kinds of occasions. I even sent you a message later—why are you still upset?"
Xu Xinyu snorted, not really angry.
"Ronyao, this isn't good. Ever since you got together with Lin Chengyi, you've completely shut yourself off!"
"You don't attend parties or make new friends. You just revolve around him every day. If this continues and something happens, you'll cry your eyes out!"
Xu Xinyu said it casually, not expecting to hit the nail on the head.
Mu Ronyao froze for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
Xu Xinyu noticed something was wrong and frowned.
"Hey, Ronyao… what's wrong with you?"
