Chapter 548: Chapter 548 Coquetry (1)_1

"Ah, Xiao Muli, you sneak attack." By the time Situ Xin snapped back to reality, Xiao Muli had already made a rapid escape from Situ Xin’s room. Left behind, Situ Xin kept spouting threats, "Hmph, Xiao Muli, just you wait until next time I see you, I’ll show you what I’m capable of."

Yet, Situ Xin, who had never been in a relationship, failed to realize that despite her harsh words, she wasn’t the slightest bit angry about Xiao Muli’s actions. On the contrary, there was a sweet taste lingering in her heart.

Not long after Xiao Muli left, Situ Xin received a phone call from Situ Muli.

He told Situ Xin that they had arrived at BL. Upon hearing this, Situ Xin immediately declared that she would go to the airport to pick them up.

Situ Xin was particularly eager to pick up Situ Muli and the others. She didn’t wait for Situ Muli to speak; she just hung up the phone. Situ Muli wanted to say there was no need for Situ Xin to trouble herself with picking them up, that they would find her after they had dealt with a few things on their hands.

But Situ Xin, not having given him a chance to speak, had already hung up. Considering Situ Xin’s unusual behavior, Situ Muli swallowed his protest about her not needing to pick them up. However, they weren’t at the airport, and they couldn’t let Situ Xin go on a wild goose chase. With no other option, Situ Muli had to call Situ Xin back to tell her where they actually were.

As for why the usually lazy Situ Xin was so enthusiastic this time, it all came down to her lips, which were still a bit swollen even after applying her specially made ointment.

Situ Xin knew that if Old Madam, Grandma, or her mother saw her looking like this, it would undoubtedly cause quite a stir. No doubt, both her grandmothers and her mother would relentlessly press the issue until they got the answers they sought and were satisfied.

Situ Xin could almost visualize her family’s women bombarding her with questions upon seeing her swollen lips. This was precisely why Situ Xin was so proactive this time; she needed an excuse to leave the house, returning only when her lips had healed to face those women in her family.

When Situ Xin caught sight of her still somewhat swollen lips, she silently cursed Xiao Muli thoroughly in her mind once again.

Meanwhile, at Xiao’s BL Branch Company dealing with the matter concerning Situ Xin, Xiao Muli sneezed violently several times, causing his assistant to nervously ask his boss, "BOSS, are you catching a cold? Should I contact the family doctor for you?"

Xiao Muli shook his hand to signal there was no need, "I’m fine. Now, help me give orders to the various newspapers and magazines to pull down the news about Situ Xin."

Upon hearing Xiao Muli’s instructions, his assistant felt bitter, "BOSS, we are at BL right now. As you know, our Xiao’s influence isn’t strong enough here to have all the newspapers and publishers retract those news stories just on our say-so," as he spoke, Xiao Muli’s assistant couldn’t help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The chill emanating from his boss made his heart constrict, but he still voiced his concern, because if he couldn’t fulfill this task later, he would face his boss’s cold displeasure.

"If our Xiao’s single command isn’t enough to make those newspapers and magazines pull the stories, then can’t you consider using another method? Such a simple issue, and you can’t solve it?" In Xiao Muli’s perspective, it was an easily resolvable issue, yet his assistant seemed incapable of handling it, which was infuriating.

"Please give me directions, boss." Xiao Muli’s assistant’s shirt was drenched in sweat on his back. Before, he would watch others sweat nervously under their boss’s intimidating presence with great interest, but now that he was the subject, it wasn’t the least bit enjoyable.

"Go tell those newspapers and magazines that if they pull the news about Situ Xin and not just the stories, but also withdraw their reporters who have been sent to follow her," Xiao Muli remembered the reporters still staking out the hotel where Situ Xin was staying and added a clause, "If they agree, Xiao’s will certainly not let them suffer a loss. I’ll give each of them an exclusive, the news they want."

After all, Xiao’s held a significant entertainment company. Usually, Xiao Muli delegated its management to someone else, but now it was the perfect opportunity to utilize it.

"Understood, BOSS. I’m on it right now," relived by the reduction of cold air around Xiao Muli, his assistant breathed a sigh of relief. He now needed to leave swiftly and catch a breath of fresh air.

After Xiao Muli gave his orders, he picked up the documents needing his approval, preparing to continue with his work. However, for some reason, his mind couldn’t settle, as Situ Xin’s delicate features filled his thoughts.

"Ah, little girl, what are you up to? How come I’m missing you already when we’ve just parted?" Xiao Muli murmured silently to himself.

But then Xiao Muli adjusted his mentality, took a deep breath, and forcefully suppressed his thoughts of Situ Xin to concentrate on his official duties.

And Situ Xin, who was on Xiao Muli’s mind, after cursing him out fiercely, left a note, disguised herself carefully, grabbed her bag, and went downstairs.

The incognito Situ Xin swaggered into the hotel lobby. As soon as she entered, without even needing to look, she heard a scattering of discussions around her.

"Hey, do you think that genius designer really lives in that hotel?" Journalist A asked his colleague.

"It must be right; has the information from the top ever been wrong?" another person replied.

"I’m actually quite eager to catch a glimpse of this genius designer. I heard from a colleague who went to the scene yesterday that the designer is even more beautiful than the models, they say breathtakingly gorgeous," Journalist A said with a gossipy tone.

Without further interest in listening, Situ Xin adjusted her oversized sunglasses and strutted out the hotel doors, hailed a taxi, and disappeared from the hotel entrance, leaving behind a group of reporters who were still hoping for a chance to see her.
