Chapter 1568

Ye Hua nodded, picked up the contract, and walked to the side.

After making changes on the computer, he printed out two fresh copies of the contract.

He conveniently placed the old contract into the shredder, turning it into confetti without a trace.

Returning with the new contract, Ye Hua handed it directly to Ning Anran.

Ning Anran took the contract without flipping through it again and signed her name on both copies.

Mu Xiaojiu put away the contract and returned to his own work.

Ye Hua was already planning to ask Ning Anran to leave, but seeing her demeanor, it seemed she had something to say.

If it was about the elder, of course, it wouldn’t hurt to listen.

But this girl kept staring at Mr.

Xiaojiu.

Was she afraid to speak, or what?

After a while, Mu Xiaojiu finished reading a document and looked up, only to see Ning Anran still sitting there.

His thick brows creased, and impatience flashed in his eyes: “Is there something else?”

“Mr. Xiaojiu.” Ning Anran’s gaze remained fixed on him.

The image of him engrossed in work was something she never got many chances to witness before.

Serious, composed, calm, wise…

Mr.

Xiaojiu at work was truly charming.

No, it should be said that he was always a deadly temptation to women, no matter when.

She really couldn’t bear to leave and wanted to just watch him like this for a lifetime.

Even if she watched him for a lifetime, she would never tire of it.

Why was he…

just so incredibly good-looking…

“What exactly do you still want?” Mu Xiaojiu’s cold voice pulled Ning Anran back to her senses immediately.

She took a slight breath, knowing she shouldn’t lose her presence of mind in front of him.

Biting her lip, she softly said, “Mr. Xiaojiu, why did Xiaxia… why did she come back at this time? Aren’t you going to stop her?”

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t speak, unwilling to say a single word to others regarding matters related to Baili Xia.

“Mr. Xiaojiu, you should know that Xiaxia coming back now is all harm and no benefit to our matters.”

Ning Anran was almost used to talking to herself in front of Mu Xiaojiu, as he rarely responded.

She was already happy in her heart that he was willing to give her the opportunity to talk in front of him.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, if she knows about this matter, she will definitely ruin things.”

“Are you being too meddlesome?” Mu Xiaojiu’s thick brows knitted slightly again.

He glanced at her indifferently, and anyone could feel the chill in that glance.

If not for the matters concerning the elder, which still required her involvement, he wouldn’t even want to look at this woman twice.

Ning Anran twisted her fingers, knowing he was displeased.

It seemed that matters concerning Baili Xia were still off-limits to discuss in front of Mr.

Xiaojiu.

Not daring to provoke his displeasure, she could only, after a moment’s thought, switch to a different topic immediately.

“Mr. Xiaojiu, the elder said he wanted to take me to meet a few people.”

Although Mu Xiaojiu still didn’t speak, it was obvious that her words had caught his attention.

Ning Anran was delighted in her heart and immediately added, “He said I could completely trust those people in the future.”

“When?” Mu Xiaojiu asked faintly.

“It should…

be tomorrow.”

“Should?” These two words clearly displeased Mu Xiaojiu.

“It’s tomorrow!” Ning Anran quickly confirmed.

“Also, the elder said he…

he thinks Mr.

Xiaojiu you…”

“Miss Ning, if you have something to say, please speak clearly.” Ye Hua reminded from the side.

This foolish woman, was she deliberately talking this way just to spend a little more time with Mr.

Xiaojiu?

Hesitating and halting, Mr.

Xiaojiu’s patience was obviously wearing thin.
