"Okay, I'll go find her later." Bai Xueli smiled.

"Whatever you want!"

The two finished their lunch in a strange atmosphere. Although Shangguan Mo did not say much, at least he let her know a piece of good news, which was truly interesting.

After lunch, Shangguan Mo returned to the company while Bai Xueli drove directly to Shangguan Mo's Villa.

In the villa, Murong Xue was reading the information about the competition in the living room. She suddenly heard footsteps, thinking that it was Shangguan Mo. As she turned her head to have a look happily, it turned out to be Bai Xueli. After the smile on her face froze, she immediately forced a gentle smile, "Xueli, long time no see."

"Yes, long time no see." Bai Xueli also gave a beautiful smile, walked to the opposite side of Murong Xue, and sat down.

"Xueli, why do you have time to come here?"

"Ha-ha, I am bored, so I just thought about coming to Mo's place to visit. By the way, don't you need to go to school? When did you come to the capital?"

"I'm here to take part in the college competition. I've only been here for two days."

"Oh, Xue, you must excel in your study. You can even represent your school to take part in a competition." She didn't expect that Murong Xue was quite capable.

"I'm flattered. I am not the only one to take part in the competition. By the way, have you had lunch? Shall I ask Ms. Lin to prepare lunch for you?" It happened to be at noon, so Murong Xue asked.

"I just came over after having lunch with Mo. Mo is weird though. I said we could call you out for lunch, but he didn't want to no matter how I persuaded him. I am sorry to leave you here alone, so I decide to come and visit you. I'm afraid you're bored in the capital." Bai Xueli kept talking, looking a little elated. She kept talking to Murong Xue as if they had been best friends who hadn't met for a long time.

Murong Xue was shocked. Shangguan Mo didn't come back yesterday. Was he with Bai Xueli? He also wasn't willing to talk to her yesterday morning. Her heart was aching. Although she knew it might be a misunderstanding, she still couldn't help but feel distressed. Her eyes got misty. She was nearly unable to breathe as if her heart had been grabbed by an invisible hand.

Bai Xueli was still talking about things about her and Shangguan Mo. Looking at Murong Xue's face getting increasingly gloomy, she was in the mood for talking more.

Murong Xue's face was getting paler and paler. She could hardly keep the smile that she forced. Couldn't she resist fate after all? In the previous life, Shangguan Mo and Bai Xueli were a couple.

Because of the miserable ending of her previous life, Murong Xue was extremely cautious even if she fell in love.

Her heart couldn't be broken again. She was already so vulnerable that she wanted to retreat to her shell, where no one could find her or hurt her.

"Xue, are you listening?" Bai Xueli waved her hand in front of Murong Xue.

Murong Xue suddenly came to her senses. "I'm listening."

"Let me tell you. Mo especially likes..." Bai Xueli was going to crash her bit by bit. One day, the crack between the two would get bigger and bigger. She was being stupid before and she had gone too far. Instead, she brought them closer to each other.

It was a long time before Shangguan Mo returned to the villa.

Murong Xue just wanted to come forward to greet him, but Bai Xueli walked over quickly, holding Shangguan Mo's arm, "Mo, you came back. I waited for you for a long time."

Shangguan Mo looked at Murong Xue who was motionless and did not speak. Did it have no effect on her since he didn't come back more than a day? He felt upset. What was he expecting? He couldn't meet her emotionless eyes. He turned his head and said faintly to Bai Xueli beside him, "Yeah, I just finished work."

Murong Xue felt that the scene in front of her made her heart hurt. The woman was delicate and cute while the man was tall and handsome. He looked at Bai Xueli gently, which made Murong Xue feel so dressed that she couldn't breathe.

The words that she wanted to ask stuck in her throat. She couldn't find a chance to cut in. The two in front of her kept talking. They looked so happy as if they hadn’t been in the same world as her. She had never felt so rejected that she seemed like an outsider who couldn't get involved in their world.

She sat back as she intended to get up. He couldn't see her now. At least, she had to retain her dignity.

Shangguan Mo's eyes never left Murong Xue. She seemed to be indifferent to his return and was still sitting leisurely on the sofa. Even her eyes that looked at him turned away, and she looked down at the information in front of her.

Bai Xueli seemed to have detected Shangguan Mo's absent-mindedness and then pulled his sleeve. "Mo, how about I cook a delicious dinner for you? I haven't cooked for a long time. I remember that you used to help me try the food I cooked."

Speaking of the past, Shangguan Mo also remembered that she cooked a few years ago, and then he smiled. "You actually brought it up. The first time you cooked you almost burned the kitchen."

"Mo, how could you tease me? The food I cook now is very delicious." Bai Xueli heard others say before that if she wanted to win a man's heart, she would have to make him love the food she cooked first. She remembered that she truly believed it at that time, so she wanted to learn cooking. And she made lots of jokes back then.

"I know. I don't understand. There is a cook at home. Why bother to cook? You'd better have a good rest. Then I'll be relieved if you take care of yourself," Shangguan Mo said softly.

Murong Xue's eyes grew misty as she lowered her head, but no one could see. She also cooked for Shangguan Mo before, but she never heard him say that she could leave it to the cook because cooking was tiring. Sure enough, Bai Xueli was special to him.

She couldn't bear it anymore. She didn't want to watch the two talk and laugh intimately, and she didn't want to sit here like a fool any longer.

She suddenly stood up and walked to the stairs. She only wanted to go faster and faster. She needed to leave there. Otherwise, she would break down.

Seeing Murong Xue walking quickly upstairs, Shangguan Mo subconsciously wanted to chase her, but Bai Xueli suddenly grabbed his sleeve. "Mo, Xue seems a little tired. Maybe we should let her have a rest."

Shangguan Mo asked with concern, "What did she do today? Why is she tired?"

"She seems to need to take part in a competition between international colleges. Today, when I was chatting with her, she was a little absent-minded. Maybe she was a little tired while preparing for the competition. She didn't seem to like me talking about you. I felt strange. Mo, did anything happen to you?" Bai Xueli explained slowly.

Hearing that Murong Xue didn't want to talk about him, Shangguan Mo's face darkened. "Nothing..." Nothing happened to them. He was the one who changed. He was getting increasingly impatient and could barely control his emotions.

"We should let Xue have a rest. Mo, sit with me for a while. We haven't talked for a long time. I need your advice about lots of things." Bai Xueli directly pulled Shangguan Mo to sit on the sofa in the living room. Naturally, she also sat next to him. She would never let go of any chance to get close to him.

Shangguan Mo sat down on the sofa and asked, "What's the matter? What do you need to ask me?"

"Mo, I also want to find something to do. How about I start a cosmetics company? Anyway, I'm bored of doing nothing." In addition, she found out that Murong Xue recently opened a company called AX, which mainly sold skincare products. She merely couldn't bear to see Murong Xue rise. In the past, she found it troublesome to operate a company. Anyway, the dividends given to her by the Shangguan Family were enough for her to squander. But at this time, she suddenly got motivated and determined to do better than Murong Xue.

"Do you want to start a company? Why bother? Our family has many cosmetics companies. If you truly want to do it, I will put one of them under your name."

"What's the point of that? I want one company completely owned by myself. I don't want the company that belongs to the Shangguan Family. Moreover, what's the difference between giving me a company and sharing the dividend with me? Besides, you're so exceptional, Mo. I also want to work hard. Only in this way can I be worthy of being your sister."

"Okay. Okay. Just do it if you want to. I'll transfer some money to you to open a company. If your company is short of employees, I can also transfer some people to you. Do you want to start a cosmetics company and develop your own products?" Although Shangguan Mo was the man who was in charge of the Shangguan Family now, he couldn't randomly disclose the Shangguan Family's unique product formula. Thus, he asked this question.

"I must do the research and development by myself. Do you know any talents in this field? Can you introduce some to me?" Of course, she knew the limits of authority of the Shangguan Group. How would she put Shangguan Mo in a dilemma?

"Yeah, I'll find someone to contact you in a couple of days..." Shangguan Mo began to consider the talents who had once introduced themselves to him. He wondered if some of them were competent. No matter what it was, he would be happy to do it as long as he could make up for Bai Xueli.

"That's great. Mo. This is the first time that I start a company. There might be many things that I don't know. I hope you don't mind when I come to ask you tons of questions."

"Not at all. Just ask. Maybe I can help you find an assistant, which also can help you solve a lot of problems."
