Criteria for choosing a wife – chapter 50

“She’s angry.”

Xia Ke thought he must have misheard for a moment. He looked at Meng Xiyue in surprise. Her long, thick eyelashes were lowered, carrying a sense of confusion and helplessness.

The question he was about to ask got stuck in his throat. The other party was seriously seeking his help. Xia Ke recalled how he used to comfort Xia Yuan when she was angry.

Say some soft words?

Buy, buy, buy?

Xia Ke thought about it. This was how he comforted his sister. If it were a lover, Xia Ke recalled with a bit of heartache that he had no experience in relationships.

In high school, there was a girl he had a crush on. Being mature for his age, he kept his feelings to himself, thinking they should focus on their studies and confess after graduation.

Then, the girl got a boyfriend. Before he could feel heartbroken, his parents suddenly passed away. Since then, he had no time for romance.

He had been busy until now.

Xia Ke discreetly hid his embarrassment, putting on a gentle smile. “Yuan’er is very sensible. If you talk to her properly, she’ll understand.”

Normally, Meng Xiyue would have noticed Xia Ke’s unusual behavior, but now she had lost her usual judgment. She earnestly said, “Thank you, I will.”

Xia Ke felt relieved. If she had asked further, he really wouldn’t know what to say.

In a few moments, Meng Xiyue had already adjusted herself, shedding the awkwardness of being in love and returning to the elite, all-controlling CEO of N.S. “Mr. Xia, about our future cooperation…”

Xia Ke was stunned for a few seconds before quickly switching to work mode, keeping up with Meng Xiyue’s pace.

The second collaboration was successfully negotiated. As they shook hands and Meng Xiyue was about to leave, Xia Ke smiled slightly. “Tell Yuan’er she doesn’t have to come back tonight.”

Meng Xiyue’s cold face softened. “Thank you.”

After she left, Xia Ke sat in his spacious and bright office, pondering for a moment.

Maybe he should start considering personal matters too.

Meng Xiyue got into the car and glanced at her phone. The other party still hadn’t replied.

There were still nearly five hours left until the end of the workday.

Assistant Li asked, “President, where are we going now?”

Assistant Li hadn’t been involved in the recent negotiations and wasn’t sure what had happened, but he sensed that the BOSS’s mood was off.

He asked instinctively.

In fact, they should be heading back to the company. According to the schedule, there was a meeting coming up.

Then, through the rearview mirror, he saw the usually aloof president with her eyes slightly lowered, shadows playing under her thick eyelashes, and her fingers resting on her leg.

Indecisive?

Assistant Li had seen this look before. It only appeared when N.S. received a particularly tricky project.

Assistant Li began to wonder if the collaboration with the Xia Corporation had failed. He quickly dismissed the thought; the contract had already been signed, so that couldn’t be it. Then what was it?

There hadn’t been any issues at the company recently.

“How much time until the meeting?”

Assistant Li immediately checked his phone. “Forty-seven minutes.”

Meng Xiyue raised her eyes, seemingly making eye contact with Assistant Li through the rearview mirror. “Check how long it takes to get to XX Film City from here.”

Assistant Li quickly opened the navigation app. “The fastest route takes fifty minutes.”

Meng Xiyue said, “Notify them to change it to a video conference. We’re heading to the film city first.”

Assistant Li acknowledged and quickly sent out the instructions, then started driving towards the film city.

Film city?

Assistant Li understood now. She was going to see Miss Xia. Come to think of it, he and his girlfriend weren’t even this clingy.

As they neared the film city, the video conference began.

Meng Xiyue sat in the car, listening to the reports from the department heads and issuing precise instructions.

The people at the meeting, although they didn’t understand why it suddenly turned into a video conference, didn’t let it affect the progress.

When the car stopped, Meng Xiyue’s eyelashes fluttered, but she continued with the meeting.

By the time the meeting ended, half an hour had passed.

Meng Xiyue turned off the computer and instructed Assistant Li, “Wait here.”

Assistant Li, understanding the situation, replied, “Okay, President.”

Meng Xiyue was somewhat familiar with this place. She had visited the set before, and before getting in the car, she had asked Xia Yuan’s manager about the location of the new crew.

After walking for about ten minutes, she arrived.

As soon as she entered, she happened to run into Xia Yuan, who was walking out.

Xia Yuan was momentarily stunned upon seeing Meng Xiyue, but then her face blossomed into a smile. Her eyes sparkled like stars, and she quickly walked over in her high heels, her voice filled with surprise and joy, “Meng Xiyue, what brings you here?”

Meng Xiyue carefully examined her eyes and brows, finding no trace of anger. She was still as bright and beautiful as ever. Lowering her gaze, she said, “You didn’t reply to my messages.”

Although she was earnestly answering her question, Xia Yuan heard a hint of grievance.

Thinking back, Xia Yuan realized her phone had been off and charging. Since Meng Xiyue hadn’t replied to her messages, she had lost interest in using her phone. Additionally, there was a scene that required repeated filming, which further diminished her interest.

Clearing her throat, Xia Yuan turned on her phone and saw the two messages from Meng Xiyue.

“Yuan’er, I don’t have time recently.”

“Yuan’er, are you mad at me?”

Xia Yuan immediately understood why Meng Xiyue had come looking for her. It turned out she was worried that Xia Yuan was angry.

Meng Xiyue was so good to her; how could she be angry?

With this thought, Xia Yuan moved closer, holding Meng Xiyue’s hand and interlocking their fingers. Her voice was soft and sweet, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I didn’t reply to your messages in time.”

Feeling the grip tighten, Meng Xiyue looked up seriously at her and promised, “Once I’m done with this busy period, I’ll take you on a vacation.”

So, don’t be upset.

Xia Yuan has a workaholic brother. She doesn’t understand business matters, but she knows that as the company’s BOSS, he’s very busy.

Knowing that Meng Xiyue couldn’t accompany her on vacation, she felt a bit disappointed. But hearing these words now, she was happy. Meng Xiyue wouldn’t lie to her.

So, she could really look forward to going on vacation together.

Xia Yuan didn’t care about the current setting. She happily kissed Meng Xiyue on the lips, her eyes sparkling like stars. “Meng Xiyue, you’re the best.”

Meng Xiyue’s anxiety from the journey dissipated with that kiss, and a touch of tenderness appeared in her eyes. “You’re a public figure, be reserved.”

Xia Yuan leaned against Meng Xiyue and walked slowly with her. “No way. If public figures can’t date, then I won’t act anymore.”

Could acting be more important than Meng Xiyue?

Meng Xiyue slightly curled her lips and gently pinched Xia Yuan’s fingertips. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Xia Yuan retorted defiantly, “I’m not.”

The two walked in sync, chatting as they slowly left. Zhong Le and Lin Qi, who had been following them since Meng Xiyue arrived, had become mere background figures.

However, seeing the two of them being so sweet and sticky, even sweeter than sugar, made their teeth ache.

But following behind them, watching the two holding hands without letting go, they couldn’t help but smile as well.

When Xia Yuan left, Gu Yan followed. Today was her last scene, and she wouldn’t return to the set for another three days.

He planned to gain some favor points, but he didn’t expect to see Xia Yuan taking the initiative to kiss a woman.

At first, when Xia Yuan said she had a lover, Gu Yan didn’t believe it. But now, seeing it with his own eyes, he had to believe it.

Looking at the video on his phone, he thought he might need to adjust his original plan.
