Chapter 1199 It’s Not Easy to Be a White Moonlight
There are many advantages to living in a big house.
One of them is that there are places where you can take a walk after dinner without leaving your home.
Shi Li walked in the quaint courtyard. The evening breeze was permeated with the faint fragrance of bluebells. The sky above her head was filled with sunset glow, like a long, gentle river.
It is so romantic that it is beyond words, especially with a beautiful woman by your side.
Shi Li turned her head quietly and could see Mu He's handsome profile.
"There's a pond in front. Although the lotus flowers haven't bloomed yet, the large lotus leaves are of just the right shade. Do you want to go take a look?" Mu He was worried that she would find it boring to just take a walk, so he dutifully acted as a "local tour guide."
There is a square pond with round lotus leaves floating freely on the water. The occasional ripples are dyed golden red by the setting sun. Even the small stone railings around it are full of ancient charm.
I can’t believe what a lively and cheerful little girl must be living here every day.
[Host, do you think Mu Xinyu is cheerful? ]
[The host admires it, and I admire it too~]
[To be honest, I don’t really want this beautiful scenery, I only want the beauty hehehe~]
The barrage was as intoxicated as Shi Li, immersed in the beautiful scenery and forgetting everything else.
When Aunt Chen came over, she looked at the two people's backs, slowed down her pace, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
As he laughed, he became a little sad again. He walked up and teased, "Why are you here? Ah He was very naughty when he was a child. He once fell into a pond. Fortunately, Yao Bin fished him out."
After his elders revealed the embarrassing things that happened in his past, Mu He showed a rare look of embarrassment on his face and glanced at Shi Li awkwardly.
Shi Li didn't care and looked at Aunt Chen with interest, "Really? Was he so naughty when he was a child?"
"Yes, he played all day long before school, but after school, he was like a different person." Aunt Chen smiled lovingly. Having worked in the Mu family for many years, she watched Mu He grow up from birth to adulthood, and she not only regarded him as the head of the family, but also as a beloved junior.
"The kitchen has prepared some sweet soup and fruit, and is calling you to come back."
Shi Li deeply felt what it meant to be "fed". After being in the Mu family for a long time, apart from other things, she had never been idle except for her mouth.
In the end, it was too late and she couldn't stay at the Mu family any longer, but Mu He insisted on sending her back to the hotel.
"This is your first time visiting, how can I be rude?" Mu He looked at her with deep eyes and his voice was as gentle as the spring breeze and flowing water, making people unable to refuse.
After returning to the hotel, Shi Li couldn't forget it for a long time. She sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a cup of hot tea, staring at the night view of the city in a trance.
After a while, she ignored the teasing on the screen and jumped up and rushed to the table. The design inspiration came to her and she had the design draft for the competition!
Now that the decision has been made, it is better to do it sooner rather than later.
After Shi Li arrived at the company, he immediately submitted his resignation to the Human Resources Department and also sent an email to the senior management of the head office who had been promoting him.
In order to avoid trouble, he did not mention Zhou Xiangxue and the company here, but just stated frankly that he wanted to start his own business.
As expected, Zhou Xiangxue rushed in less than half an hour after Shi Li had been working.
"Manager Zhou, knock on the door." Shi Li frowned and looked at him warily.
Zhou Xiangxue seemed to be a hot-tempered and fragile person. Yesterday, he became violent because Shi Li didn't answer the phone, but today, he was hurt by a word and a look from her, and showed a hurt expression.
What a strange person.
"Shi Li, why did you resign? Is it because of me?" After enduring for a while, Zhou Xiangxue lowered his voice and spoke, his voice full of heartbreak.
"Manager Zhou, please don't misunderstand me. I have long planned to open my own studio. I just made up my mind during this time when I came back."
Shi Li didn't want to make her words too clear. The key point was that Zhou Xiangxue was in this state now. She was worried that this would stimulate him to do something more frightening.
Zhou Xiangxue opened his mouth, and hope appeared on his face again, "Then can you reconsider it... You can get what you want in the company. I can make the decision, just stay."
"Manager Zhou, now that we've come to this point, please face the reality. We are not suitable for each other."
Shi Li was annoyed by his pestering, so she simply pointed out his thoughts and rejected him directly. Fearing that he would get mad, she reminded him implicitly, "Besides, at this critical period, you should also focus on your career."
As far as Shi Li knew, although the Zhou family only had one illegitimate son, Zhou Xiangxue, they had more than one biological daughter, many of whom were excellent. If Zhou Xiangxue behaved too much, the Zhou family might let their daughter inherit their business empire.
"Are you concerned about me?" However, Zhou Xiangxue's brain seemed to be different from that of ordinary people. Not only did he not reflect on his recent actions, but he understood it at another level.
Shi Li: ...
You forced me to do this.
"If you insist on thinking the wrong thing, then let me make it clear. Not only do I dislike you, I also think there are a lot of problems with you and I don't want to have anything to do with you. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
After saying that, Shi Li looked at Zhou Xiangxue's face which turned pale instantly, and said silently in his heart: It really feels better to tell the truth!
