"I know, and I'm just joking." Murong Xue made a naughty face.

Chu Yisen held Murong Xue all the way to the reception desk, which attracted more than a few eyes. Because they were good-looking, passers-by could not help but give them a few glances.

After completing the formalities, Chu Yisen accompanied Murong Xue back to the villa and carried her all the way to the sofa. "Sit down first, and I'll prepare dinner for you. You must be hungry!" Chu Yisen said softly.

At first, she didn't feel it, but she now felt famished upon hearing his words.

If she hadn't known him well, she couldn’t have imagined the scene when he was cooking. They were friends for so long, and she couldn’t think of any of his shortcomings. He was so nice, but it was strange that he didn’t have a girlfriend.

But there was no accounting for love. Some wanted to have a romantic partner, while some were hurt by past relationships and didn’t want to get into the vortex of love, just like her. She hoped that he could find his own happiness and have a wife who loved and cared for him.

She had to think about what to say to her parents. If they knew that she had asked Chu Yisen to do such a favor, her mom would probably chew her out when she went back. But she had no choice and could only turn to him for help.

As she was thinking, Murong Xue felt her eyelids gradually got heavy, and she soon fell asleep on the sofa.

Murong Xue was lying on the sofa, her mouth slightly open, her hair soft and long. Chu Yisen, who had just finished cooking dinner and came out of the kitchen, was totally mesmerized by this sight. He stuck out his hand and touched her delicate face. She really trusted him and let her guard down. Should he be happy or sad?

Finally, he touched her red lips reluctantly to wake her up and said gently, "Xue, time for dinner." It was not good to have dinner too late. Murong Xue was still hungry.

Murong Xue slowly opened her eyes, and then saw the handsome face enlarged in front of her. Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and pushed him away. "Yisen, what are you so close to me? You scared me."

"I was trying to wake you up, lazybones! You fell asleep in a minute." Chu Yisen tried to hide his nervousness as his heart was racing.

As expected, Murong Xue suddenly got her spirits back. She grabbed the pillow on the sofa and threw it at Chu Yisen. "You are lazy, not me. Even your shoes are as lazy as you!"

"Ha-ha! You’re an angry lazybones." Chu Yisen caught the pillow and picked up Murong Xue from the sofa. "Hurry up. Dinner won't taste good when it gets cold."

Murong Xue, who had been a little angry, soon calmed down. She was really hungry!

After dinner, Murong Xue said to Chu Yisen, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. "Yisen, we will go back to A province tomorrow. Have you arranged your work? Will it take up too much of your time? You stayed with me for a whole day in the hospital." Murong Xue knew that he must be busy with his work as he had to take over the business of the Chu Family.

Chu Yisen stroked her head and said, "I’ve told you that I have time. Don't worry. I've already arranged the work." He felt contented that she was concerned about his work. Now he wouldn't ask for too much, and he also believed that one day Murong Xue would understand his love for her.

"By the way, a friend will go back with us tomorrow, and I will introduce you to her. She is a very important friend of mine!"

“A boy or a girl?” Out of instinct, Chu Yisen asked.

"A girl! She’s a lovely and beautiful girl, and also my first friend." Murong Xue couldn't help laughing when thinking of Mo Aili.

Chu Yisen was not interested in other women, but Murong Xue cherished her so much, and he would be nice to her. Two days ago, he heard from his aides that if one wanted to get into a girl's heart, he should first get along well with her family and friends. Although he didn’t quite understand it, he would try his best.

"You’re still wearing this ring?" Murong Xue suddenly saw the first finished work she carved and asked in surprise.

Chu Yisen glanced at the colorful ring on his hand and said with content, "Of course, this is my favorite..." This was the favorite gift from his favorite person. But he didn’t speak it out. One day he would tell her.

"I’m glad you like it. I was a little embarrassed to give it to you because it was my first carved work, and I was not that good at it. Fortunately, the jade is of high quality. Otherwise, I really didn’t dare to show it to you." Murong Xue said with a shy smile.

"I am very happy. Thank you, Xue!" Chu Yisen stepped forward and gently kissed her on the forehead.

Murong Xue froze for a while and then touched her forehead. Blushed, she stammered, "Yisen… What are you doing?"

Chu Yisen showed a bright smile. "This is a thank-you kiss. You’re lucky to get it. Be grateful."

Murong Xue was speechless.

Her shyness was soon gone.

They didn’t chat for long, and Chu Yisen said that he was going back to the company to work. He had booked the plane tickets for three people, and he would leave after meeting them the next day.

Murong Xue finished her shower and got into the room. She locked the door and entered the Space. The medicine she made according to the prescription in the Space was much more effective than those bought in the hospital. She wouldn’t make herself suffer. Besides, she would go home tomorrow. If her parents saw her walking as if she had gone lame, they would be worried. Fortunately, there was enough time in the Space, and one night outside was enough for her to recover from the bruised stomach in the Space.

The next morning, Mo Aili arrived early.

"Xue, you look more beautiful after the military training! Your skin is still fair and delicate. Look at me. Mine is tanned." Mo Aili kept talking loudly after she got inside. She held Murong Xue's face and rubbed it constantly.

"Let go of me. It hurts." Murong Xue shook off Mo Aili's hands and gently rubbed her face which was almost deformed. She then rolled her eyes and said in a sullen tone, "You are the boss of AX. Why don’t you use skincare products? You will soon get your good skin back. It hurts."

"I brought it with me, but the military training is so tiring that I'm too lazy to use it." Mo Aili expressed her grievance.

"You asked for it!" Murong Xue rolled her eyes again.

Mo Aili suddenly came at her and pinched her like crazy until she begged for mercy.

After a while, Chu Yisen also came.

"It's you! A cocky guy!"

"You! An imposter!"

Chu Yisen and Mo Aili glared at each other as soon as they met.

"What's the matter? You two know each other?" Murong Xue asked curiously.

"I don't know him!" Mo Aili spat out

Chu Yisen didn't look much better. He didn't know that the lovely friend Murong Xue said was actually this one. In his eyes, she was not lovely at all. Instead, she was evil.

Murong Xue was even more curious now. Something must have happened between the two. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so worked up. "Who would like to tell me what's going on? Both of you are my friends. Will you stop arguing?"

"Xue, how do you get to know such an arrogant man?" Mo Aili said scornfully, ignoring Chu Yisen's angry looks.

Murong Xue tried to comfort her. "What's the matter? What did he do to make you so annoyed?" She also glanced at Chu Yisen and found that he was winking at her. Murong Xue tried hard to stifle her laughter.

Speaking of yesterday, Mo Aili was furious. She just finished the military training yesterday and was exhausted. When she was about to cross the road to have some food, a car jumped the red light and rushed over. Luckily, she just fell to the ground and didn't get hurt. Chu Yisen got off the car and gave her a look. Seeing that she was all right, he took out his wallet and threw a wad of cash to her, without even saying sorry. She was really pissed off. Of course, she couldn't let him get away so easily.

She got up and grabbed Chu Yisen's clothes to make him apologize. "Apologize now. Don't you know how to say sorry after you bump into someone?"

Chu Yisen coldly looked at the girl who was not hurt at all. He was in a hurry to meet Murong Xue and had no time for this. He was annoyed and his face darkened. "The money is not enough? How about this?" He took out another wad of cash and threw it to her.

Mo Aili flew off the handle. Who cared about his money? This man ran a red light and hit her, but he was not apologetic at all. She wouldn’t let him off so easily. "Apologize now, or you are not able to leave."

"I'm warning you. Don't be greedy! Just accept what I have offered." After saying these words, he shook off her hands and drove off.

Mo Aili lost her footing because of his action and fell to the curb of the road. When she got up and tried to chase him, he was long gone. She could only stamp her feet.

"Don’t you think he’s so bad-mannered?" Mo Aili complained about the awful experience yesterday and glared at Chu Yisen again.

"Yisen, you..." Murong Xue gave him a teasing glance. She didn't expect him to have such a facet.

Chu Yisen was a little embarrassed because he didn't want to ruin his image in front of Murong Xue. If he had known Mo Aili was Murong Xue's friend, he would have treated her nicely.
