Chapter 679 Even I Am Attracted
Jingshu lifted his head to look at Yunan. "Didn't they urge you to get married the past few years?"
Yunan was dedicated to his job in the force and was on duty most of the time. The longest time Jingshu had not met Yunan was three years.
Yunan had more free time in the past two years, but it was because he was assigned to a more complicated task. It took time to resolve the matter in Gricy.
"You should worry about yourself if you have the time to worry about me. Your secretary is a pleasant girl, but it's hard to say if the old man will find her pleasant." Yunan countered.
Jingshu's expression changed at the mention of Xia, and he said, "I met Qingyou the last time I went home. She has grown into a young lady. Her winter break is coming soon. I bet she'll come to find you if she knows you're in Yunzhou City. The old man likes her. I believe he'll be glad to set you guys up."
Yunan was upset to hear Jingshu mention Qingyou. That was the mode of interaction within the Bai family – they were united when facing external enemies but would not show mercy toward their family members.
Unlike ordinary families, they had a unique way of expressing their emotions because they were brought up in a military family.
"Get out of my sight!" Yunan shot a fierce glare at Jingshu.
Jingshu shook his head insouciantly and stood up. "Qingyou is a decent girl. Not only is she good-
looking, but she also grows up with you and has a powerful family background. Most importantly, she is interested in you."
"Stop the nonsense! I only deem her as a younger sister."
Qingyou and Yunan were childhood friends. Yunan had watched her grow from a little girl into a young lady but had never considered marrying her. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Although the elders were eager to see them get together, Yunan did not have the intention.
Jingshu still wanted to say something, but when he saw Yunan standing up and grabbing his chair, he quickly fled. Before he left, he blurted, "That's not right of you to have an eye on my brother's wife when he's unaccounted for."
Yunan was startled. I've never been interested in Ziyue. Although she's one of the most gorgeous women I know, she's a married woman! Moreover, she always gives me a cold shoulder. Why should I curry favor with her?
"Don't deny it. You often call her recently, don't you? The way you look at her is different too. Your behavior is strange. Mind you, you better come to your senses. Things might not work out between Xia and me, but it's impossible between you and Ziyue."
Jingshu stood by the door and continued babbling away. He timidly hid behind the door and only stuck his head out, worrying that Yunan would beat him up.
Sure enough, the next second, Yunan grabbed his chair and hurled it toward Jingshu. Fortunately, the
latter dodged it swiftly.
Among the three brothers, Yunan was the one who knew what he wanted in life. He was the eldest son and the outstanding heir of the Bai family.
He had made himself clear. Even if he had the slightest interest in Ziyue, he would distinguish it without delay.
…
It was ten at night. Ziyue was seated in the CEO's office of LK Group's branch. After switching off the computer, she stretched her aching neck and turned to look outside the window, wondering how many people in the bustling city had not gone home yet, like her.
If Zixi weren't at home, she wouldn't want to go home. It felt like Muchen was everywhere in the house, yet he was nowhere to be found.
It had been a while since he went missing, but he still couldn't be found.
It poured heavily in Yunzhou City in the past few days as autumn approached. The temperature suddenly decreased, so Ziyue took out her woolen sweater.
She didn't feel like time had passed as she traveled between home and office day in and day out. However, there was no news about the man whom she missed.
She didn't know what supported her endless search, but she was determined to find Muchen.
It was already half past ten when she regained her composure.
Recently, Zixi would only go to bed after she returned home and said goodnight to him, probably because he was affected by Ziyue's emotions.
She didn't want to affect Zixi, but she just couldn't cheer up.
After packing her stuff, Ziyue left the office and went downstairs.
The security guard at the entrance greeted her. "Goodbye, Madam."
"Goodbye." Ziyue hummed indifferently and walked to the car park, her gaze fixed on the front.
Ziyue was lost in her thoughts as she walked slowly under the dim light with her head lowered.
A tall figure suddenly appeared when she reached the car park and blocked her path. "Su Ziyue, can't you be more aware of your surroundings? I've been tailing you from the office, yet you didn't notice me."
Ziyue halted her step; her heart jolted.
The man stood in front of her with his back facing the light. Only then did Ziyue regain her senses and recognize this wasn't the man she yearned to see.
The surprised look quickly faded, and she asked Yunan aloofly, "What brings you here?"
Before Yunan could answer, she continued, "We can talk tomorrow if there's anything. I need to go home now."
She walked past Yunan, but the latter seized her arm and said sulkily, "Don't be ungrateful. I reminded you out of kindness. Can't you be thankful?"
"I don't need your concern, and it's unnecessary. So, I don't see the need to thank you." Ziyue attempted to shake Yunan's hand off but to no avail. So, she turned her head away and said, "Please remove your hand, Mr. Bai."
Her response made Yunan's blood boil. I must have lost my mind to come to her office!
Jingshu's comment made him realize the inappropriate thoughts he had, so he reflected upon himself. However, Ziyue's attitude annoyed him.
"I just pulled your arm. You didn't have to overreact. Even if I force myself upon you right now, what can you do?" Yunan stared at Ziyue fervently.
Ziyue's body stiffened, and she answered coldly, "If you really wanted to lay a finger on me, of course, I wouldn't be able to resist. But I know you won't. How would you harbor improper thoughts toward a married woman with a child? Am I right?"
With that, she effortlessly withdrew her hand.
Putting his hands on his hips, Yunan nodded. "Yes, you're right. I'm not insane, so I won't possibly have improper thoughts toward a woman like you."
"Good to know." Thereafter, Ziyue walked past him resolutely to her car and drove away.
Only after her car had driven away did Yunan let out a frustrated curse. "D*mn!"
After he left, two people walked out of a corner of the car park.
One figure was tall, while the other was short, indicating that they were a man and a woman.
Moments later, the woman blurted in Spanish, "The man just now looks impressive. Even I am attracted. Do you think she is interested in him?"
