She lowered her head and looked at his face under the dim light. Although she noticed that he had closed his eyes once again, he showed no signs of letting her go. Finally, she stopped struggling and just laid down beside him. She pulled the blanket over herself again and let him sleep in peace.

However, the man’s voice reached her ear the moment she closed her eyes. “Answer me.” His grip around her waist tightened as well…

She put her hand on his and replied, “Fine, go to sleep now. It’s already almost dawn!”

“There’s no work tomorrow. It’s a weekend.”

He was still aware of the date, making her chuckle. In the next moment, he wrapped his arms around her like he was hugging a doll just before he dozed off to sleep peacefully.

Time flew when things got busy.

Three days after the gathering with Mu Yuchen’s friends, Qi Lei went to City B. Both Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye started getting busy with their work as well while Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha spent their time preparing for their wedding. It had been a long time since the Qi family celebrated something, so Qi Qiming intended to make it a huge event and throw the newlyweds a grand wedding.

With July about to end, the weather was still pretty hot on the streets because the crazy heatwave was hitting the town hard.

Right now, there were thunderstorm clouds hovering over Gu Lingsha’s office.

“How could Hua Heng do this!? They promised to give us the building materials, yet they went back on their promise at the last minute. Is this common for Hua Heng?” Gu Lingsha was mad as she swept the documents Secretary Tai handed her onto the floor. Papers flew everywhere, and she was extremely upset.

“What exactly happened? Their manager has already approved of the delivery, so why did they suddenly turn their backs on us?” Gu Lingsha asked Secretary Qin coldly.

“It seems like CEO Hua promised to give it to someone else instead. When I was asked about the delivery progress, I decided to call Hua Heng as they haven’t been giving any replies. I only found out about it then, and they didn’t give us a solid reason as well. I think it’s better to visit them personally!” Secretary Qin suggested.

The promotion work for the development project was going well now, and they had already started working. If things got delayed because of the materials, Qi Kai’s reputation would surely suffer since Qi Kai had really given it their all this time.

If this was messed up, they would be…

Gu Lingsha frowned as she was starting to worry. Moments later, she said, “Contact Manager Wang from Hua Heng and tell him that I need to meet him right away!” She bent over and quickly picked up the papers on the ground.

“Yes, Manager Gu, I’ll call him now!” Secretary Tai then left the room.

Gu Lingsha paced around her room with uneasiness in her heart. She was busy preparing for her wedding lately and did not expect this to happen all of a sudden. If Secretary Tai had not called, she probably still had no idea about what had happened!

Knock knock!

As Gu Lingsha was getting impatient, Secretary Tai came in before she could reply.

“Manager Gu, Manager Xi from Yueying is here!”

Xi Xinyi? She took a deep breath and sat down in her chair as she suppressed her anxiety for the moment.

“Manager Gu.”

Xi Xinyi gave Gu Lingsha a slight bow when she arrived before her. She then handed a document to Gu Lingsha. “This is the proposal for the initial stages of the promotional campaign. I’ve made amendments according to your comments. Please take a look if there are any more amendments required,” Xi Xinyi said humbly.

Gu Lingsha raised her head and looked at Xi Xinyi who was looking at her intently.

Xi Xinyi was Xi Xiaye’s sister from a different mother, but they shared a vengeful relationship. After something happened to Xi Xinyi, Han Yifeng took their child and went abroad. Then, Yueying almost went bankrupt too, but Qi Kai’s assistance helped her to get back on her feet.

Xi Xiaye was the main cause behind it, so Xi Xinyi must really hate Xi Xiaye. After some observation, Gu Lingsha noticed that Xi Xinyi had been behaving well. Furthermore, she also had Yue Hai and the Yue family supporting her.

Gu Lingsha put on a smile after studying her for a while. She took the document from Xi Xinyi and signed her name on it after glancing through the proposal. Then, she handed it back. “I’m really happy with the way you work, Manager Xi. I’m sure you’ve been working hard. We’re all happy with the progress of the promotional campaign. I hope you can keep this up.”

Xi Xinyi took the document back and replied, “Thank you, Manager Gu. I will.”

“I heard the two movies you produced did really well in the box office. That’s as expected of an expert from the industry.” Gu Lingsha glanced at her and smiled.

“It’s all thanks to everyone’s hard work. The glory isn’t mine alone,” Xi Xinyi replied with a grin.

“Mmm, I’ve heard a lot about you, Manager Xi. The fact that you’re able to turn Yueying from being in a dire state to its current form impresses me. I believe that you’re on par with the higher-ups in the company.”
