When Mu Qingyan woke up, he recalled what had happened the night before and felt like it was all just a dream.

For 24 years of being single, he had unexpectedly fallen in love. The moment they made their relationship official, they kissed for so long that he lost track of time. It was an incredibly sweet and lingering moment.

Without realizing it, he blushed again.

Mu Qingyan got up and walked to the sink to splash cold water on his face. He thought to himself, “You’re a man, why do you blush so easily?”

Because it was a workday, he washed up, had breakfast, and went to work at the MU Company as usual.

As soon as Ye Qiqi saw him, she smiled and said, “Boss, you’re beaming today. Did something good happen?”

“Did it?” Mu Qingyan cleared his throat intentionally and said, “It seems you guys are used to seeing me with no expression or an icy face.”

“How could that be!” Ye Qiqi giggled and said, “But I just received some good news that can make the boss happy.”

“What good news?”

“The prosecutor has already charged Xie Ming. I contacted Fang Fang, Zhang Long’s assistant lawyer, a few times and gained her trust,” Ye Qiqi said.

“Well done,” Mu Qingyan said.

“I hinted at it a few times and found that Lawyer Zhang didn’t seem to care much about this case. He just treated it like an ordinary lawsuit, leaving everything except the court hearing to Fang Fang,” Ye Qiqi added.

“It seems that Xing Hao paid a lot of money to hire the big lawyer, but didn’t spend any effort to make him take care of Xie Ming,” Mu Qingyan sneered.

“Xie Ming has also had a tough time recently. According to Fang Fang, Xing Hao refused his requests to see him several times,” Ye Qiqi said, “It seems their relationship is nothing more than this. They both fly away in a disaster.”

“Qiqi, keep in touch with Fang Fang and give her some of the evidence we’ve collected about 20 days before the trial,” Mu Qingyan ordered.

“No problem!”

As soon as he entered the office and sat down, Mu Qingyan received a message from Ji Liyun: “Are you awake?”

Mu Qingyan rolled his eyes and replied, “I’m already in the MU office!”

Ji Liyun on the other end couldn’t help but laugh.

He found Mu Qingyan more and more adorable, so he replied, “Okay, to reward Ah Yan, who is so career-minded, I bought two tickets for the concert of Zhou Tianwang on Saturday night and Sunday.”

Zhou Tianwang is a giant star in the Asian music industry, and his concert tickets are hard to come by.

After reading many of his songs through a book, Mu Qingyan had mentioned to Ji Liyun that he liked this talented singer.

When he heard that there were tickets for Zhou Tianwang’s concert, he naturally wouldn’t refuse: “Great!”

After confirming their romantic relationship, Ji Liyun came to have dinner with Mu Qingyan or pick him up from work more often. Even though they hadn’t made their relationship public yet, everyone at the MU company knew about their relationship with Xiao Mu and President Ji’s interactions.

There were even further expectations, such as:

“When did Xiao Mu and President Ji start dating?”

“It should be recently, right? I haven’t seen them holding hands before.”

“And the way they look at each other is different now.”

“Guess who pursued who?”

“It’s definitely President Ji!”

“Absolutely President Ji!”

“Regardless, President Ji is a thousand times better than Xing Hao, in terms of appearance, ability, and background, he’s the perfect match for Xiao Mu.”

“Our Xiao Mu is a beautiful person of the times, and has great abilities.”

“Oh, I can’t wait for their wedding.”

“Yeah, before Xiao Mu and Xing Hao only registered their marriage, but didn’t have a wedding. Xiao Mu didn’t like Xing Hao, he just registered for the sake of the child. So he never wanted a wedding. But this time with President Ji, hehehe, we can look forward to it.”

As expected, a few days later, Lawyer Zhang refused to defend Mu Qingyan by canceling their appointment because he believed that Xie Ming was the culprit who harmed Mu Qingyan.

A criminal litigation lawyer from the law firm where Lawyer Hu worked, Zhao Shuiming, took on the case. As arranged by Lawyer Hu, Zhao Shuiming frequently contacted Xie Ming under the pretext of representing the case, trying to extract information from him.

Soon, on Saturday, Mu Qingyan and Ji Liyun went to watch Zhou Tianwang’s concert as planned. Since they planned to make their relationship public sooner or later, they didn’t disguise themselves with caps and masks, and walked hand in hand into the concert openly.

The paparazzi had already caught on to their love affair and were taking pictures and posting them online, which caused Mu Qingyan’s fans to become greatly interested and excited.

“Mu Mu and Ji Liyun are in love! That’s great!”

“Yes! They’re so compatible, I ship this CP so hard!”

“I found out that Lin Shuangshuang had already shipped them a long time ago. She posted many hints on her Weibo that she was a fan of the Mu Ji CP!

“Could it have started when they were filming <Lost in the Stars>?”

“I want to see Mu Ji’s interaction! Paparazzi, entertainment reporters, more, more!”

Ji Liyun bought tickets for the indoor area, in the second row directly facing the stage, because he said the first row was too close and the second row was more comfortable to watch.

Mu Qingyan smiled and said, “You’ve been here before?”

“How could I? This is the first concert I’ve ever been to in my life. Before, I only knew work,” Ji Liyun said.

Mu Qingyan felt the same way. In his memory and the original text’s description of this overbearing president, the former Ji Liyun had no special interests or hobbies besides work, let alone watching a concert for leisure.

Ji Liyun took Mu Qingyan’s hand and said, “I had Wenya do market research specifically to find the most comfortable spot to watch a concert in this stadium. Wenya did the research and data analysis, and came up with the results.”

“Is it the spot we’re in now?”

Ji Liyun proudly said, “Yes.”

Mu Qingyan thought to himself, “You’re really something.”

After a night of revelry, when Ji Liyun sent him home, it was already past 11:30 at night. After Mu Qingyan finished washing up, he went to bed.

He thought it was Sunday the next day, and he could sleep in, but he was awakened early by his phone vibrating.

He perked up when he saw the caller ID.

“Hello.”

“President Mu,” a deep voice came from the other end, “The fish is already on the hook.”

“I know.”

Mu Qingyan’s lips curved up, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately sent a text message to Ye Qiqi: “I’m going to Antarctica. Contact me immediately if there are any issues with the MU company or the projects I’m working on.”

He thought Ye Qiqi would sleep until noon on her day off, but in less than a minute, he received a call from her.

“Boss, you’re going to Antarctica? How are you going? Do you want me to contact a private plane for you?”

Seemingly just waking up, Ye Qiqi spoke softly, but still clearly.

Mu Qingyan decided to tell her, “Okay, please arrange a private plane and a ship for me. I’m going to Mu’s research base in Antarctica.”

“No problem.”
