Moo Tingxiao narrowed his eyes for a while, and his expression changed subtly in response to what she said. They looked at each other, and no one spoke. After a long time, Moo Tingxiao broke the silence. “What if I sign Moo Corporation over to you?” Mu Nuannuan froze, and disbelief was apparent in her eyes. She never expected him to say such a thing on his own accord. In fact, that was what she had wanted to discuss. Moo Tingxiao seemed to lack nothing; he was flawless. She had no doubt about his abilities, but until now, his fame mostly came as a result of Moo Corporation. Mu Nuannuan really wanted to test Moo Tingxiao, and the only way was to ask for something ridiculous. She changed her mind earlier and asked Shiye to send her to Moo Corporation just so that she could pose Moo Tingxiao the same question. Little did she expect that Moo Tingxiao would bring it up first. Perhaps he had read her mind. He always concealed his feelings, so no one could figure out what
Shen Liang became impatient and started to name-call Moo Tingxiao. “Can you please let me finish first?!” Mu Nuannuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll let you finish.” Shen Liang was swirling the glass of water in her hand, apparently not interested in what Mu Nuannuan had to say. “He told me that he would sign Moo Corporation over to me,” Mu Nuannuan said matter-of-factly. “He’ll give you Moo Corporation?” Shen Liang responded absentmindedly. After two seconds, it sank in, and Shen Liang gripped Mu Nuannuan’s hand. “What did you just say? Say that again!” “Moo Tingxiao said he would sign Moo Corporation over to me.” Shen Liang’s jaw dropped to the ground. Realizing how embarrassing she looked, she quickly collected herself. Nonetheless, she was still wide-eyed. Even her voice was trembling. “The big boss really said that?” “Uh-huh.” Mu Nuannuan nodded. “Moo-Moo-Moo Corporation…” Shen Liang stammered as she took out her mobile phone. “Le
Moo Tingxiao glared at Fu Tingxi again. Fu Tingxi lowered his head slightly, as though he did not say those words earlier. He looked cool, calm, and collected, but his tightly clenched fists did not fool Mu Nuannuan. She broke into a smile. Mu Nuannuan had previously thought that Fu Tingxi was steady enough to not be afraid of Moo Tingxiao. Standing behind her, Moo Tingxiao was placing his hands on the table. That posture made it look like he was holding Mu Nuannuan up in his arms. He raised two of his fingers and tapped on the desk, reminding her to sign the transfer agreement. How could Mu Nuannuan sign it with confidence? Fu Tingxi was a famous lawyer in Huyang and Moo Tingxiao’s private legal adviser. Once she signed the papers, it would become legally effective. How could Moo Tingxiao give her a big company like Moo Corporation as if it was a plaything? She had never thought of taking over Moo Corporation. She did not have the courage to accept it even though Moo T
He was inches away from her. When he spoke, his breath blew on her face. Mu Nuannuan had signed the share transfer agreement, so by right, she owned Moo Corporation and was the boss. Yet, which boss on Earth would be intimidated by his or her own employee like that? Moo Tingxiao seemed to be enjoying it. Tilting his head, he looked Mu Nuannuan in the eye as if he could see through her. “Tell me, Boss, how do you want me to please you—emotionally or physically? Either way, I’m okay with it.” Moo Tingxiao had a smile on his face, making him look gentler than before. He seemed more like a flirty man than the president of Moo Corporation. Mu Nuannuan chuckled as she put her hand on his chest. “Which do you think I would prefer—emotionally or physically?” He squinted, swallowed hard, and caught her hand that was pressed against his chest. “I think you’d prefer the latter.” While he spoke, his eyes stayed on her, and he curled his lips up like a beast waiting to devour its prey
The little spoon in Mu Nuannuan’s hand slipped and dropped on the table. She looked over at Moo Tingxiao, wide-eyed. She had never seen Moo Tingxiao so obedient. “Can you say that again?” Mu Nuannuan gripped his sleeve and looked at him with her head tilted sideways. He looked back at her, furrowing his brows with impatience. “Say what?” As if her hand was disgusting, he took her hand off his sleeve. In the eyes of others, it would seem as though Moo Tingxiao disliked her touch. However, Mu Nuannuan immediately knew why he did that; Moo Tingxiao was embarrassed. Whenever he did not know how to express himself, he would follow his instincts and evade her eyes. She suddenly felt like she had found a new and correct way to interact with Moo Tingxiao. Gu Zhiyan, who was sitting across from them, could no longer take it. Slamming his chopsticks on the table, he sighed. “Now I know why that rascal, Fu Tingxi didn’t want to come. You guys make me feel like a third wheel. “No
While Mu Nuannuan spoke, she sidestepped Moo Tingxiao and carried Moo Mu upstairs. Moo Tingxiao’s hands were still out as he watched Mu Nuannuan trudge up the stairs. He then pulled back his hands and took a deep breath, seemingly deep in thought. … Mu Nuannuan gently placed Moo Mu on the bed. While Mu Nuannuan helped her to get changed, Moo Mu suddenly jolted up. “Mommy!” she cried out in a panic. “I’m here.” Mu Nuannuan held her hand and kissed her on the cheek. Moo Mu then quickly fell back to sleep again. Mu Nuannuan sat on the bedside, looking at Moo Mu for a while before leaving the room. She walked past the corridor and down the stairs, only to find that Moo Tingxiao was nowhere to be seen. There were merely a few maids in the living room. She looked up toward Moo Tingxiao’s reading room and reckoned that he was probably in his room. Just as she was about to go back upstairs, Moo Tingxiao came back down. He had changed into casual wear, looking less intimidatin
Mu Nuannuan sat in front of the vanity mirror, waiting for her makeup artist, but her mind was somewhere else.The door swung open and Xiao Chuhe dashed in. Seeing that Mu Nuannuan was still roosting there in a dull cotton jacket and her hair was akin to a scarecrow, she chided, “People from the Moo Family have arrived. Why haven’t you gotten changed?”Mu Nuannuan pushed her black-framed glasses back up her nose, her droopy eyes making her look as dumb as she could get. “Mom, do you really want me to marry elder sis’ fiancé?”Thinking that she was flaking on her, Xiao Chuhe freaked out.The escort from the Moo Family was already waiting outside. The slightest mistake could ruin the entire Mu family. She was desperate. Dropping to her knees in front of Mu Nuannuan, Xiao Chuhe quavered, “Nuannuan, I beg you! Your elder sister deserves better. Help her, please!”Mu Nuannuan’s vacant expression became even colder. Xiao Chuhe, her biological mother devoted all of her attention to her s
Moo Tingxiao made it clear that he was emphasizing the word “cripple”, and his low voice was flirtatious. The closer he got to her, the uneasier Mu Nuannuan felt, so she shifted her body to keep a distance. But after she thought about it for a while, she believed him. He could not have come into Moo Tingxiao’s mansion if he was not Moo Tingxiao’s cousin, she figured. “He’s your cousin. Please, stop saying that.” Mu Nuannuan knew what it was like to be derided, hence she sympathized with Moo Tingxiao. His life had to be difficult, considering his circumstances, and the wealth of his family did not help, she thought.Surprised by what the ugly woman said, Moo Tingxiao did a double-take on her.She was wearing a pair of frumpy, black-framed glasses and a long cotton jacket. Her hair was a bird’s nest, and her bangs were so long that they almost covered her eyes. Not only that, the dark spots on her dull face looked particularly disgusting. Undoubtedly, the ugly woman was not his bea
