Chapter 94: Hidden Meaning

"Mu Yinyin, I hope you approach your work with more seriousness. If you continue to be so careless, I’m afraid our partnership will have to end sooner than expected."

Mu Yinyin let out a derisive laugh. "I hope President Fu remembers his own words. Don’t let yourself abandon your work and rush over blindly because of someone. If you do, then yes, we really should terminate our cooperation."

Fu Siyue sat firmly in his chair, making no move to leave. He had already ended the phone call.

She was rather pleased.

Not with Fu Siyue’s professional attitude, but instead...

She enjoyed the fact that Nan Shiqing was now frustrated after her call was cut off.

Nan Shiqing always had this man’s protection, unwavering support for anything she did. But now, because of Mu Yinyin’s presence, Nan Shiqing no longer received such treatment.

Within the company, because she had signed a contract, future collaborations with the Mu Group were off the table. And now, even in this negotiation, Fu Siyue had hung up on her. Later, Mu Yinyin would ensure Nan Shiqing knew that today, Fu Siyue was with her when he ended that call.

Only when Nan Shiqing suffered could Mu Yinyin taste the satisfaction of revenge.

Since Nan Shiqing dared to scheme against her father, she must accept Mu Yinyin’s retribution.

Fu Siyue gave her a cold glance, clearly uninterested in further debate. His time was always precious. He spoke in a deep voice, “Continue.”

Mu Yinyin arched an eyebrow and pressed on with the topic.

This time, the two conversed for another half hour or so.

During this, Fu Siyue’s phone vibrated several times. Mu Yinyin didn’t look, but she could guess—it was surely Nan Shiqing messaging him.

Given how spoiled Nan Shiqing was, Fu Siyue probably had never once hung up on her before.

So.

Now, after such an abrupt call ended, Nan Shiqing must be flustered.

And with Mu Yinyin’s recent appearance, Nan Shiqing’s presence had faded even more.

A cold smile flickered in Mu Yinyin’s eyes—this was just the beginning.

When everything was finally discussed, Mu Yinyin smiled. “It’s rare to spend so much time with President Fu. I won’t take up more of your precious schedule, since…”

She spoke with a trace of amusement at her lips.

She didn’t finish her thought, simply stood up.

Fu Siyue’s face had been dark ever since he hung up on Nan Shiqing. Mu Yinyin raised an eyebrow, knowing his thoughts were with Nan Shiqing, scoffing coldly as she turned to leave.

Fu Siyue ground his molars, his menacing gaze fixed on Mu Yinyin’s departing figure, as if wishing to pierce her back.

Mu Yinyin left without a backward glance.

Fu Siyue remained seated, the document Mu Yinyin had given him still on the table, marked with her handwritten notes.

Her handwriting was just as bold and free as when she signed the divorce papers.

The irritation in Fu Siyue’s eyes grew.

He suddenly had no desire to even glance at his phone.

Soon, Mu Yinyin went downstairs. Just as she exited the Fu Group building and was about to step down, she saw Nan Shiqing hurrying toward the main entrance.

The irony in Mu Yinyin’s gaze deepened.

Had it become so inseparable now? Just a single missed call, and she’d anxiously run over to find him?

Tsk.

Clearly, trust was still lacking.

The smile at Mu Yinyin’s lips grew.

Nan Shiqing looked up and immediately saw Mu Yinyin watching her. Nan Shiqing’s expression instantly stiffened.

Mu—Yin—Yin!?

Why was she here!?

So, was Fu Siyue’s abrupt hang-up related to this wretch?!

Nan Shiqing’s composure was slipping, but remembering this was a public place, she took a deep breath and hurried forward, addressing Mu Yinyin softly, “Sister? Why are you here?”

Mu Yinyin curved her lips. “Isn’t it quite normal for me to be here?”

Normal?

Normal, my foot!

She didn’t want Fu Siyue to have any ties to this wretched woman!

Nan Shiqing tamped down her anger, shaking her head. “No, I was just wondering. Shouldn’t you be at your own company right now? I didn’t mean anything by it… Sister, please don’t misunderstand me…”

She lowered her head slightly, like a child afraid of being scolded.

Mu Yinyin was accustomed to Nan Shiqing’s innocent act. She simply smiled, “You’ve come to see Fu Siyue, haven’t you?”

Nan Shiqing’s eyes trembled, instinctively shaking her head to protest, but Mu Yinyin lifted her hand and gently patted her shoulder.

Nan Shiqing’s body went rigid. She felt as if Mu Yinyin might suddenly exert force and break her shoulder.

She dared not move an inch.

Mu Yinyin leaned in, speaking softly by her ear so only the two of them could hear, “It’s understandable. He just hung up your call to be with me, and hasn’t replied to your messages. Of course you’re anxious.”

Nan Shiqing: “!!!”

She stared at Mu Yinyin in disbelief!

She had tried to hide, but it was too late. Mu Yinyin saw everything, the mockery in her eyes intensifying. She stepped back, speaking quietly, “Since you’re here, you may as well go in. He should be free now—maybe he’ll finally reply to your messages.”

Nan Shiqing: “!!!”

Even now, Fu Siyue hadn’t replied!

Mu Yinyin instantly understood, and hinted, “He’s done for now; go find him. I’ll leave you two alone.”

She patted Nan Shiqing’s shoulder again. Just as she stepped forward to pass Nan Shiqing, she suddenly halted and, with pointed meaning, added, “But when it comes to choosing a boyfriend or husband, you really ought to keep your eyes open. Otherwise, while he’s with you, he might always be thinking about someone else.”

Those last four words were airy, yet to Nan Shiqing, they carried a subtle significance!

She looked sharply at Mu Yinyin, but saw her walk away without a backward glance, clearly unwilling to say more.

Nan Shiqing’s face grew uglier by the moment. What did Mu Yinyin mean by this?!

Especially that last sentence!

Was Mu Yinyin implying she’d once been blind, or that now… Fu Siyue was longing for her?

Was she suggesting that Fu Siyue, though with Nan Shiqing, was still thinking of his ex-wife?

Just as the thought crossed her mind, Nan Shiqing couldn’t help but scream inside.

No!

Impossible!

Fu Siyue would never go back to her. Mu Yinyin had been so disgraceful in the past—he couldn’t possibly!

Thinking this, Nan Shiqing immediately pulled out her phone.
