1230 Dream-like Reunion! 5
Xi Xiaye agreed with him, “True enough. We spent a lot of time and energy when we ventured into the film industry.”
She was instantly reminded of Qi Lei when the film industry was mentioned.
A year had passed and Qi Lei was doing better. Everything should be right on track after this year, so she could fulfill her promise to Wang Qin.
“Mr. Mu…”
Someone rang the doorbell when she called out to him.
Xi Xiaye stopped halfway and looked at her man.
He continued cooking as he told her, “Go and open the door.”
Xi Xiaye nodded and went out of the kitchen after washing her hands. She was stunned when she saw Han Yifeng right outside the door.
“Xiaye!”
Han Yifeng was surprised too! He never thought he would see Xi Xiaye again…
She was wearing a blue dress, and her hair was tied into a bun. She did not look that much different from before, but she seemed relaxed and happy. She must be doing great!
However, seeing her again after all this time felt like a dream…
“Han Yifeng? Why are you here?” Xi Xiaye asked.
“Missus, Master found out that CEO Han was coming over to New York for business, so he invited him over for dinner,” Li Si answered instead when he noticed that Han Yifeng was at a loss.
Xi Xiaye took a deep breath and moved aside. “Come in. He’s still making dinner and it should be ready soon. Li Si, can you bring CEO Han in? Dinner will be served in a while.”
“Noted, Missus.”
“Welcome, CEO Han!”
…
Han Yifeng nodded and went in. Then, he saw Mu Yuchen coming out of the kitchen with a plate in his hand. Mu Yuchen nodded humbly at him. “You’re here. Wash your hands and get ready for dinner. Xiaye, please prepare the cutlery.”
Xi Xiaye gave him a brief reply and went into the kitchen.
Dinner was served moments later. The five of them, including Li Si and Secretary Wang, sat down together around the dining table. While the atmosphere was certainly awkward at first, it improved a while later.
As Li Si quickly poured wine for everyone, Xi Xiaye turned towards her man and asked, “How come you contacted him?”
“Why can’t I? We were once romantic rivals after all,” he smiled as he whispered beside her ear.
Xi Xiaye rolled her eyes at him. He returned to his usual expression as he looked at the quiet Han Yifeng. “I know you have a project around here, and your hotel is pretty near too. I suppose there’s a need for us to meet up.” His tone was calm as he focused intently on Han Yifeng.
Han Yifeng’s expression still seemed cold. “Thank you. It’s been a long time since we last saw each other after all. How are Father and the others?”
Han Yifeng and Xi Xinyi…
No matter what, Han Yifeng still addressed Xi Mushan as “Father”.
“He’s doing well. How’s your son?” Xi Xiaye asked. It felt awkward to actually ask about it, but she asked anyway.
“He’s good. His name is Han Zhexuan. He’s learned how to walk and calls me ‘Papa’ already.”
No matter how unhappy he was with Xi Xinyi, Han Yifeng loved his son. The main reason he brought his son away from City Z was that he did not want his son to get involved in the conflict. He hoped that his son could grow up happily.
“He’s still fairly young when you brought him away, but I suppose he’s all grown up now. He’s several months older than Xiao Cheng, isn’t he?” Xi Xiaye turned towards Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen nodded and looked at Han Yifeng. “I remember that you have a project with Qi Kai too. Don’t you have any plans to head back to City Z? I know your company is still running over there.”
Han Yifeng took a deep breath and drank some wine. “I’ve passed it over to a manager to handle it. The Han Corporation is mainly focused on here right now. The investment there will be reduced by phases and will be terminated in the end. I don’t think there’ll be many chances of me going back…”
City Z was a place that was full of unhappy memories for him. There was not much aside from pain and bitterness, and he wanted to seal those memories away.
“Doing that could work too. Here’s to you.” Mu Yuchen just ended the conversation right there. He suddenly raised his glass and offered Han Yifeng a toast.
Han Yifeng put on a bitter smile and raised his glass as well.
Several of them could not really taste the food during dinner due to the awkwardness, but Xi Xiaye had a great appetite. Mu Yuchen kept putting food into her bowl, and she finished all of it. Everyone rarely talked with only Mu Yuchen and Han Yifeng occasionally speaking a little.
Xi Xiaye could sense the atmosphere was a little stiff, and it seemed like Mu Yuchen’s attitude towards Han Yifeng was odd.
Though she could not sense hostility, it just felt complicated.
…
Mu Yuchen and Han Yifeng went out to the balcony after dinner. Xi Xiaye understood they had something to talk about, so she sent two cups of tea to them before returning to the bedroom.
Unlike the rainy days before, the moon was clearly seen in the sky right now, and it was beautiful.
Mu Yuchen and Han Yifeng stood beside each other as they enjoyed the sight of the moon.
After a long silence, Han Yifeng finally spoke up as he turned towards him, “Do you have something to tell me?”
