After taking a deep breath in, Shen Wenna smiled bitterly.

“Yes, it was certain that Xi Xinyi was your daughter back then. I still remember how Yue Lingsi proudly showed me the DNA report that proved the relationship between you and Xi Xinyi in front of me. Deng Wenwen even talked me down then. Look at her condition right now. Even Yue Lingsi’s reputation has gone down the drain.”

“Maybe this is karma. I know Ah Chen and Xieye wish for us to get back together again, but I can tell you now that. I’ll never marry you again. I only need to experience a marriage like that once,” Shen Wenna suddenly spoke after a long silence.

Xi Mushan was stunned.

He knew Shen Wenna very well. She must have steeled herself in order for her to say such words.

His eyes suddenly darkened as he looked at Shen Wenna, then he smiled casually. “Marriage doesn’t matter since it’s just a piece of paper. Moreover, I don’t think we need those anymore. I don’t really mind if that makes you feel better,” Xi Mushan spoke in a sentimental tone.

Shen Wenna closed her eyes and stopped talking.

Xi Mushan was really good at dealing with her pressure now. No matter how mean she was, he could still act like it was nothing.

…

Early in the morning, assistant Yang Sheng visited Qi Lei with a gift box as he just arrived at the office. “Master Qi, tomorrow is Chairman Mu from Glory World’s banquet. CEO Wang wants Ms. Xian Er to be your partner, and this is the gift you asked me to prepare.”

Glory World’s Chairman Mu?

Qi Lei’s eyes darkened. He took a pause before opening his drawer and taking a red invitation card out. Written inside were Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye’s names.

Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye…

As he read these names, Xi Xiaye’s slender figure appeared in his mind. He then recalled the drawing writing pad inside his bedside drawer.

A smile appeared on his face.

A woman like that…

After falling silent for a moment, he stopped smiling as he raised his head and looked at Yang Sheng. “I don’t need a partner. Also, prepare me a golden rose. Make sure it’s done by tomorrow night,” Qi Lei gave a direct order.

“A golden rose?”

Yang Sheng was taken by surprise as he looked at Qi Lei in confusion.

Qi Lei put on a wicked smile and explained, “A rose made of gold. I want the shiniest material there is. The more eye-catching it is, the better! It would be great if there can be diamonds on it!”

“Master Qi, you…” Yang Sheng tried to ask.

“I have a use for it. Just prepare it.”

“Yes, Master Qi, I’ll work on it now!” Yang Sheng left after a brief reply, but as he opened the door, Xi Xinyi was standing right there, about to knock on it!

Yang Sheng was surprised by Xi Xinyi’s sudden appearance. “Xi Xinyi? You…”

Xi Xinyi wore a loose white dress with the baby bump becoming more obvious. She appeared much better after Yueying’s crisis was resolved. At least, she did not seem as lifeless as before.

“Is Master Qi inside?” Xi Xinyi asked as she glanced at Yang Sheng coldly.

Yang Sheng shrugged, not seeming very pleased. “Wait here!”

He then turned back to see that Qi Lei had turned his chair around and was facing the large window. “Master Qi, Xi Xinyi is outside.”

“Let her in,” Qi Lei replied briefly.

Yang Sheng then let her in.

“Master Qi, why did you stop the two movies? Wasn’t the progress going well?” Xi Xinyi barged inside and asked straightforwardly.

“You yourself should know what condition Yueying is in right now. The crisis just passed, but your funding is still insufficient. Even if you joined Qi Kai now, we needed to reevaluate the big projects that were under preparation before, and the results of our evaluation concluded that it’s unsatisfactory, so it’s being temporarily halted. Is there an issue?” Qi Lei replied calmly as he turned his chair around and looked pointedly at Xi Xinyi.

“However, I don’t think CEO Qi thinks the same.”

“If I’m not mistaken, Chenye Movies and Televisions film similar movies as well. The other two scripts before were pretty good, so we don’t have to do the same thing as others.”

Qi Lei then continued, “I hope you can spend some time working on new titles, instead of using recycled ideas, Ms. Xi. Moreover, I can’t trust the standards of the directors you recruited temporarily.”

“Why can they do it and we can’t? Do you think we will lose to a newly established company?”

“You should know better than me of Yueying’s current situation. You’re a smart person, Xi Xinyi. You don’t need me to spell everything out for you, do you? Qi Kai isn’t stupid. I know very well what you’re planning.” Qi Lei smiled as he looked at Xi Xinyi.

Suddenly, Xi Xinyi’s eyes darkened as she stared at Qi Lei coldly. She bit her lip and let out a cold laugh. “Master Qi, I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I do know that you can’t decide on this matter by yourself!”

“Oh? Then, who can decide around here?” Qi Lei glanced at Xi Xinyi in disdain.

He always disliked women like her. He had no idea what she had done to make Han Yu and the others help her on Han Yifeng’s stead. To a certain extent, Han Yifeng became one of Qi Kai’s stakeholders, just that his representative was now Xi Xinyi.

Before Qi Lei could reply, the phone on the table started ringing.

Qi Lei picked it up.

“Hello?” A deep and familiar voice came through.

“Who told you to stop the two movies Yueying was filming? Withdraw the instruction right now and let them continue.”

“One of the two movies was too explicit while the other one had too similar a style with Director Zhang who is now in Chenye Movies and Televisions. I’m afraid…”

“I’m telling you to withdraw your orders and let them continue. Forget about anything else and continue fooling around with your life!”

The call was hung up after that last sentence!

Duu—

Qi Lei’s expression turned stormy instantly.
