Chapter 1987

To Baili Xia’s surprise, Mu Xiaojiu ultimately didn’t want her.

He merely tore her clothes and ravaged her body for a while.

Leaving marks all over her originally pristine skin.

But other than that, he didn’t go any further.

Later, he let her sleep in his arms, obediently sleeping.

Before drifting off, he said, “I can only promise not to want you within ten days; other than that, I can’t manage.”

Thus, she fell asleep slowly, with a belly full of grievances and uncertainty about the future.

But she didn’t know, after she fell asleep, the man slowly opened his deep, starry eyes.

Gently turned her body to face him.

Just like that, he looked at her, almost all night long.

Until it was almost dawn, he closed his eyes and slept for less than two hours.

Afterwards, without waking her, he carefully climbed out of bed, got dressed, and went out.

…

On the day of the new year’s listing, at the Mu Corporation news conference.

The end-of-year news conference was finally reconvened today, and the reporters were eagerly waiting to see what had happened with the Mu Corporation.

After the upheaval at Mu Corporation, the media couldn’t believe things were as simple as they seemed on the surface.

Moreover, Mu Xiaojiu had silenced many media outlets in secret, and they knew this, but didn’t dare say much.

“Mr. Xiaojiu is here,” someone shouted.

The crowd looked towards the entrance of the stage, and Mr. Xiaojiu walked at the forefront, stepping into the conference hall first.

Behind him was the third son of the Mu Family, Mu Xuri, who had appeared with him last time.

Mu Xiaojiu strode confidently to the stage and sat down calmly.

Glancing at Mu Xuri beside him, he spoke lightly, “Today, I have an important personal decision to announce.”

Sure enough, heavy news as soon as he spoke.

The reporters immediately turned their cameras toward Mu Xiaojiu, holding up recording equipment, afraid of missing any of his words.

“I’ve decided to step down as CEO of Mu Corporation, and from now on, my third brother, Mr. Mu Xuri, will take the position.”

The audience immediately exploded, this news was too sensational.

“Mr. Xiaojiu, why do you want to resign?”

“Mr. Xiaojiu, is this a decision you made last year? What happened to delay announcing it until now?”

“Mr. Xiaojiu, is your resignation related to the Baili Yang incident?”

“Mr. Xiaojiu…”

The questions from the crowd were endless, everyone had so much they wanted to ask about the matter.

As you know, when it comes to Mu Corporation, people only think of Mr. Xiaojiu.

Mr. Xiaojiu is the emblem of Mu Corporation; it’s safe to say Mu Corporation couldn’t have developed to where it is today without him.

No one dared to believe he would step down from Mu Corporation one day.

Mu Xiaojiu raised both hands, pressed down gently, indicating for everyone to be quiet.

The reporters immediately quieted down, waiting for his response.

“This is just a personal decision, unrelated to anyone or anything else.”

“Mr. Mu Xuri will be a good choice for this position, and I hope Mu Corporation continues to develop increasingly well.”

“Mr. Xiaojiu, will you completely withdraw from the management of Mu Corporation in the future?”

Another reporter from the audience raised a question.

Without hesitation, Mu Xiaojiu responded in a deep voice, “Yes.”

Those simple two words caused an uproar in the audience.
