"I thought you were mute, but it turns out you’re not." When it comes to teasing, Sheng Yi’s mouth is no less sharp than Chi Yu’s.

Having stumped Chi Yu over the phone, she was surprisingly in a great mood, humming all the way to the office. As soon as she arrived and saw Chi Yu’s foul expression, it was clear he’d been stumped hard by her, and the sense of achievement was simply fantastic!

"Do you enjoy attacking me for fun?" Chi Yu asked her irritably.

Sheng Yi shrugged, "Not entirely, apart from attacking you, I also enjoy complaining about you in front of Yuanyuan."

"..."

Sheng Yi continued to fuel the fire, "Does Yuanyuan know about the many kissing scenes in the web drama you starred in? I’m planning to tell Yuanyuan about them while congratulating you on your award. What do you think?"

"..."

He acted in three dramas and hadn’t even held hands with the actresses, let alone had kissing scenes.

Who is she kidding?

Chi Yu had an air of resigned acceptance, "If you don’t, you’re my granddaughter."

Sheng Yi covered her mouth with a laugh, "No wonder Yuanyuan won’t remarry you."

Chi Yu couldn’t stand it; this woman kept jinxing him about not being able to remarry Gu Yuan. Who could tolerate that? He was fuming and retorted, "At least I’ve been married and have a daughter; at least I’ve had happiness. And you? Perpetually single since birth, yet you have the cheek to talk about me."

The remark worked; Sheng Yi’s face turned sour, "I’m adored by everyone, admired wherever I go. The line of people chasing me stretches from here to France—I’m just unwilling to entertain these mundane mortals; no one can get this fairy."

"Pff—!!"

Chi Yu laughed unrestrainedly, "If you’re really that charming, why would that person... hide from you all the way to M Country?" The name was on the tip of his tongue, but Chi Yu couldn’t recall it for a moment. "If he’s hiding from you, what does it tell? It shows that you’re like a harpy from the River East, not even a brave soul would dare confront you."

Sheng Yi: "What do you mean?"

Hide from her?

Who hid from her to M Country?

Sheng Yi hadn’t caught on immediately and asked, "Who is that ’someone’? Can’t you just say the name?"

Chi Yu wasn’t familiar with that person, only acquainted enough to nod in passing. He only knew he shared a working bond with Gu Yuan, and as for the name... couldn’t remember it.

"Hey, Chi Yu, why do you always stop halfway? Is teasing me that fun?" Sheng Yi’s tone was noticeably anxious as she said this.

Sheng Yi hadn’t realized it earlier; she’s not stupid.

Now she reacted late, recalling what Chi Yu just said, thinking of M Country, Dao An indeed went to M Country, but Dao An went to M Country to take over Gu Family’s overseas operations. Why did Chi Yu say Dao An went abroad to hide from her?

Nonsense! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He was concocting lies!

Chi Yu: "When you poke fun at me, why don’t you see it as teasing?"

"I..." Sheng Yi was at a loss for words.

What Chi Yu said earlier did contain some fabrication; he knew little because Yuanyuan wouldn’t tell him much. He only knew that the person seemed to like Sheng Yi but went to M Country due to various reasons.

"Then I apologize for my previous attitude, can you please finish what you were saying?"

The proud, sharp-tongued Sheng Yi surprisingly lowered her stance and admitted defeat, leaving Chi Yu quite surprised.

Is it not a one-sided crush, but mutual?

And neither of them knows?

Opportunity arises!

Chi Yu leaned back, crossing his legs, the smile on his face growing more brazen, "How about this? Good news is meant for trading. I won’t ask for an exorbitant price, just setting a condition."

Sheng Yi: "..." I... Grass is a kind of plant.

Thinking about Dao An going to M Country potentially involving her, whether true or fabricated by Chi Yu, Sheng Yi was eager to know. Even if it was false, she wouldn’t be angry; she was hearing something related to Dao An nonetheless.

It’s been almost a year; in two months it’ll be exactly one year.

Which means Dao An has been in M Country for a year too.

Wondering how he’s doing there,

If he has a girlfriend,

If he’s fallen into a sweet romance,

If he’s planning to get married,

Or if... he truly plans to settle there...

Regarding Dao An’s affairs, Sheng Yi entirely relied on bits and pieces from Gu Yuan.

Like Dao An achieving excellent results abroad, but never anything about Dao An’s personal life. Sheng Yi couldn’t bring herself to ask, fearing Yuanyuan would read her thoughts and tell Dao An.

Dao An doesn’t like her. If they were to meet again, wouldn’t it be awkward?
