Chapter 12 Mu Chenjue Meant Nothing To Her

• Two cars fetched them back from Mingmen Hotel to the hotel they stayed in.
• When they reached the hotel, Ruan Cheng got off the car first, followed by Zhou Xiaoshu.
• At the entrance of the hotel, Dong Liyan was already waiting in a suit.
• “Good afternoon, Mr. Dong.” Ruan Cheng greeted him the same way Zhou Xiaosu did when she went in.
• Dong Liyan nodded at Ruan Cheng, but the look in his eyes changed when he looked at her.
• Dong Liyan's eyes followed Ruan Cheng into the hotel lobby, and he knitted his eyebrows slightly.
• When Mu Chenjue got out of the car, he noticed that Dong Liyan's expression was not right.
• He looked at Dong Liyan with his fierce and sullen stare, and when Dong Liyan noticed that, he quickly turned around to face his boss.
• The tall and muscular Mu Chenjue walked into the hotel with his big strides and said coldly, “You are looking at her.”
• His words were meant for Dong Liyan, who was following him.
• Dong Liyan seemed hesitant to speak. After some thought, he decided to answer briefly, “I didn't look at her.”
• It was a lie that had no legs!
• Mu Chenjue's face sank.
• At that moment, Li Ye got out of a cab and entered the hotel with a laptop in his hand. When he saw the boss and Mr. Dong standing in front of the lift, he hesitated for a moment before he went up to greet them. “Hi, Mr. Dong and Mr. Mu.”
• Mu Chenjue looked at him with his sharp stare.
• “I'm new to the design department. My name is Li Ye.” After introducing himself, Li Ye said promptly, “I shall excuse myself if you don't mind.”
• At this moment, although Mu Chenjue remained silent, his look was as cold as ice, and he seemed aloof and unapproachable.
• Back in the hotel room upstairs, Mu Chenjue unbuttoned the exquisite buttons specially designed on the cuff of his shirt and glanced at the bed, where both of his children were sleeping after a tiring day of playing.
• He walked to the wine cabinet in the suite, opened a bottle of red wine, and poured himself a glass.
• The cold liquid slipped into his throat as he gulped the alcohol with a frowning face.
• Soon, his two children woke up.
• The elder brother got up first and went for a shower. After he was done, he came back to help his sister to find her princess attire.
• “Brother, what's wrong with Daddy?” Ruanruan whispered.
• The elder brother shook his head as he did not know what had happened as well. He answered, “We better not ask anything.”
• .....
• At the same time, in Ruan Cheng's room, Li Ye put down his computer bag and hugged Ruan Cheng tightly.
• “What's the matter?” Ruan Cheng asked when he suddenly hugged her.
• They had been together for a year, but they were not used to close intimacy.
• Ruan Cheng held a grievance in her heart. Li Ye respected her, so he never went beyond it.
• But Li Ye was unusual this time.
• “Nothing much. Just wanted to hug you because I have missed you so much. That's all.” Li Ye said wearily.
• Ruan Cheng didn't ask anymore.
• They had dinner together that night.
• After that, Li Ye suggested going shopping so that he could buy some clothes to get changed. He was in a hurry when he left for this business trip so he didn't pack his clothes.
• Very soon, it was already half past nine in the evening when they were done with shopping.
• “I'd like a room please.” Li Ye took out his ID card and handed it to the receptionist.
• Ruan Cheng waited beside him, and she couldn't help but think of the last night when the receptionist told her there was no room available.
• The receptionist looked up and said, “Sorry, sir. There is no room available at the moment.”
• Li Ye frowned and thought for a moment. He then looked at Ruan Cheng.
• After that, both of them got into the lift and went up.
• Li Ye and Ruan Cheng went in the same direction of the room. He then asked, “Can I stay in your room for one night? You can take the bed, and I will sleep on the sofa.”
• Ruan Cheng was stunned for a moment.
• “I'm your boyfriend, Cheng. Don't you believe me after five years of being together?” Li Ye looked at Ruan Cheng with disappointment and sadness in his eyes.
• Ruan Cheng felt guilty.
• For five years, Li Ye had taken good care of her, whether it was for the purpose of pursuing her or not. He didn't pursue girls to have sex with them as other men did.
• In this respect, Li Ye really treated her very well.
• “Okay, you can sleep on the sofa.” She said finally as she was worried about hurting him.
• ....
• At the same time, Mu Chenjue and his two children were in the dining room of the suite.
• Ruanruan was gnawing the fried chicken. Her eyes were welled with tears, and she looked like she had been crying before she got herself the fried chicken.
• Dong Liyan was clueless when he was called by the boss suddenly.
• “Does this new guy in the design department have a place to stay tonight?” Mu Chenjue asked blankly.
• Dong Liyan didn't know why his boss was concerned about the accommodation of the new guy, but he reported truthfully, “There is no more vacant room in this hotel, and he has not gone to other hotels as well. So, I think he is planning to stay with his girlfriend.”
• After reporting, Dong Liyan found that his boss was unhappy from the look on his face.
• Dong Liyan had always been observant, but his boss was unpredictable.
• This time, however, he seemed to understand.
• After much consideration, Dong Liyan thought he should reexamine Ruan Cheng again to see how much she meant to the boss.
• Ruanruan was still pouting her mouth after she finished eating her fried chicken.
• “I don't want to be with bad Daddy!”
• “Ruanruan, don't be willful,” said the elder brother.
• “Bad Daddy, bad Daddy, bad Daddy... Bad brother, bad brother, bad brother...” Ruanruan hummed.
• Dong Liyan saw through what his boss was thinking, but he kept to himself. He then said, “Ruanruan, how about I bring you to Ms. Cheng?”
• Ruanruan stopped her thrumming and immediately got down from the chair. She wanted Dong Liyan to bring her to find Ms. Cheng.
• Dong Liyan took a look at his boss. He was silent all this while and didn't seem to disagree. Thus, Dong Liyan led Ruanruan out of the suite and brought her to Ruan Cheng.
• The elevator went down.
• Before Dong Liyan reached Ruan Cheng's floor, his mobile phone rang.
• “Mr. Mu,” answered Dong Liyan in surprise.
• Dong Liyan frowned after answering the phone, but he had no choice but to carry out the order.
• In the middle of the night, Zhou Xiaosu was sleepy and tired in the car as she said to Ruan Cheng, “I have a hunch that Director Xiao's daughter is an ominous person. She brought bad luck to us after our first meeting! Why on earth did the boss order us to go back to A City in the middle of the night? Oh my gosh! What's the matter with the boss?! He had already spent the money on the hotel room, but yet we're not allowed to stay for the night. Does it make him happy that we are on the road in the middle of the night?”
• Ruan Cheng was also tired, and she could not figure out what the boss was thinking.
• Li Tao was driving, and Li Ye sat in the passenger's seat.
• At the hotel in H City late at night.
• Mu Chenjue stood alone on the balcony of the hotel. He lighted a cigarette, and his eyebrows were knitted in a frown, which revealed his current emotion.
• People who have dealt with him in the business knew that he was an assertive person.
• He was a bit drunk after taking a few glasses of alcohol in the room.
• He thought about her smile five years ago and how she struggled to resist last night. He could not help but sneer at himself coldly. He then bent down and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.
• The next morning, Dong Liyan accompanied his boss and family to the H City International Airport.
• Mu Chenjue's handsome face was still gloomy.
• Dong Liyan, who followed him from behind, couldn't help thinking to himself, My dear boss, even you can stop them from sleeping together in the hotel in H City, but that doesn't mean you can prevent them from staying together in A City. So what's the point? You meant nothing to her.
