Chapter 325: Chapter 325 The Door of the Lounge Opened

In the office.

Ji Muye was tied to the chair, his gaze drifting over the toys left by the Ji Chao and Ji Ze brothers, as well as his daughter’s pink little fox, his deep, ink-like eyes passing a fleeting gentle light.

"Even if you didn’t tie me up, I would still follow you."

The man’s thin lips pursed slightly, looking forward at Lu Xining who was organizing files on the desk, his voice returning to its usual deep and strong tone.

Lu Xining didn’t even lift her eyes, continuing her actions.

"A captured prisoner better speak less."

"..."

Being tied to a chair as a tall man was uncomfortable. He quietly stared at her busy profile, his eyes softened with gentle light.

As soon as her gaze turned toward him, it quickly shifted away.

Only when her hands were free from work did Lu Xining have time to deal with Ji Muye, sitting down on a couch with a cup of coffee, her legs crossed lazily while she looked up at the man on the chair opposite her.

"How did you get up here?"

"Climbed up," Ji Muye answered honestly.

It was a cliff below. This man really is reckless with his life.

Lu Xining’s eyes slightly narrowed, staring directly into his eyes, "Nuonuo is not here. Don’t come here again, go to Jingzhou if you want to see her."

They still visit Ji Chao and Ji Ze in Jingzhou on weekends, and occasionally bring the two boys over here for fun.

Her gaze lingered on his face.

Ji Muye’s eyelids lifted, his eyes suddenly darkening, as if something in the deep black pupils was about to break free.

His thin lips slightly parted, "I didn’t come to see my daughter."

The man’s deep eyes rippled with an indistinguishable complex emotion, his voice husky, his gaze intense as he looked at her.

This significant statement made Lu Xining frown.

"I advise you not to show off, otherwise, if you want to see your daughter in the future, prepare to write a request."

Especially since the man still had a face with a stubbled beard, his only good-looking eyes obscured by the bangs on his forehead.

Suddenly, the phone on the sofa vibrated.

Incoming call display: Shang Lvxing.

She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to answer the call, hearing the matter being discussed on the other end, her brows tightened, asking, "When?"

The car from Shang Lvxing was currently at the entrance of ZN Research Base.

He looked at a certain office in the main building with lights on, saying in a deep voice, "Now."

Lu Xining glanced back at the man on the chair, thought for a moment, and agreed.

She untied the ropes on Ji Muye’s wrists, urging him to leave quickly.

He had caught a glimpse of the incoming call display.

Ji Muye knew the person who called her was from Shang Lvxing.

Hearing her let him go for another man at this moment, his dark eyes narrowed, endless meanings spreading within.

Ji Muye: "I also have matters to seek you for."

She glanced at the time on her watch, there was still half an hour before the time mentioned by Shang Lvxing, she urged, "What is it?"

"Don’t deal with the Zhuang Family’s matter yourself, leave it to me."

Lu Xining’s eyes flicked, asking, "How do you want to handle it?"

He paused for a moment before speaking, "Give me one more month, after I sort out my current matters, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

Satisfactory?

Lu Xining couldn’t help but laugh dryly, how familiar those words sounded.

She had heard them many times from him in the past.

Her gaze darkened, reminding him, "Ji Muye, these troubles were brought by you."

She didn’t care how many blossoms he had, but they should not disturb her front; these issues were his to handle.

"It is your fault for not dealing with them promptly, causing me the troubles before."

Lu Xining turned her back and walked to the door to open it and urge again.

"Please do."

Seeing her so indifferent, Ji Muye also couldn’t quite pinpoint the feeling in his heart.

"Do you really reject me this much?"

Is there still a need to discuss whether there’s resistance or not between them now?

As time passed by every second, Lu Xining worried that Ji Muye might be seen by Shang Lvxing if he arrives later, which may cause troubles to fix.

Although she was not clear on what covert tasks he was undertaking daily, she did not want to get involved in those matters, lest it triggers another chain reaction.

"There’s nothing to resist, you being here might expose your identity, better leave quickly."

She had spoken in a sufficiently tactful manner already.

However, just as her voice fell, the elevator today emitted a "ding" sound, indicating its arrival.

Seeing Shang Lvxing arriving so quickly, Lu Xining had no choice but to push Ji Muye into the office, whose minimalistic decoration offered no hiding spots.

Out of desperation, she arranged for him to stay in the resting room.

"Stay put! Don’t come out!"

Lu Xining came back and noticed the rope on the office carpet that had been untied earlier, and still felt Ji Muye was unreliable.

He seemed to really dislike Shang Lvxing.

It would be troublesome if he burst out midway and caused chaos.

Just as Ji Muye started to examine the arrangement of the resting room, he saw the room door being opened from the outside.

Ten minutes later.

Lu Xining left the resting room and right then, a knocking sound came from outside the door.

At this moment, Ji Muye’s hand swiftly spun behind his back, the rope tying him wasn’t very tight, and just a slight turn was enough to free himself from the restraints.

Shang Lvxing had seen her the moment he came out of the elevator.

Seeing Lu Xining quickly dart back into the office, his step faltered slightly as he exited the elevator.

The man was holding a pack of supper, the aroma of milk was strong.

"Nuonuo mentioned you quite like the egg tarts from this place, they are freshly baked, eat them while they’re hot."

Upon hearing her daughter’s name, Lu Xining immediately narrowed her eyes to look at him, hesitating a second before speaking, "When did Nuonuo tell you that?"

Shang Lvxing: "Last time, when you were looking at the bracelet, she took a number for me."

Lu Xining was a bit perplexed: "A number?"

He smiled faintly, nodding, "She asked me if I wanted to be her dad, and if so, she would take a number for me."

That slip of paper scrawled with the number 250 was still sitting on his bedside table back in his room.

"..." Lu Xining couldn’t quite judge her daughter’s behavior.

After all, whenever she sees a handsome male sparrow, she would write him a love ticket.

"You shouldn’t take a child’s joke too seriously, Mr. Shang."

Lu Xining invited him to sit down on the sofa, tentatively asking, "Tea, or coffee?"

Compared to her previous cold demeanor, her attitude today was already quite warm, a pleasure subtly rippling through the man’s dark eyes.

Shang Lvxing: "Coffee, please."

He opened the fresh out-of-the-oven egg tarts, and instantly, a sweet fragrance filled the office.

Since Lu Xining had decided to cooperate with this man, she no longer kept a cold face, adopting an attitude suitable for dealing with a collaborator, discussing the following matters with Shang Lvxing.

In contrast to the amicable discussions happening near the sofa outside, Ji Muye, leaning against the door inside the resting room, had a complexion that was far from pleasant.

Hearing that his daughter had taken a number for Shang Lvxing, a sour feeling arose within him.

He also realized that he, her biological father, was not an irreplaceable figure in his daughter’s heart.

Ji Muye’s lips curled into a very faint bitter smile, his proud pupils gleaming with a captivating, somber light, as he made a decision in his heart.

Once the matters were settled and just as Lu Xining was about to see Shang Lvxing out, the door of the resting room opened.
