《(PART 1) TMLMIH: Master Mu's Pampered Wife》Chapter 77: Brief Encounter (2)
Advertisement
Nevertheless, Xi Xiaye was not able to see the man's glum expression as she expected. On the contrary, Mu Yuchen's smile was ever so charming.
"That's too cheap. I decided not to sell." He laughed.
"Sell it! I'm a nice person. You won't lose out if you follow me."
"That should be my line, shouldn't it? When did you steal it from me?"
"I didn't!"
...
The married couple kept on talking until the car arrived at Imperial Sky Entertainment City.
Imperial Sky Entertainment City was actually a large area consisting of various services available to consumers. It was separated into middle and high consumption areas. Located at the north of City Z, it was becoming one of the largest high-class areas in the city.
There were several projects under Imperial Sky Entertainment City such as Imperial Sky Jewellery City, Imperial Sky Club, and others. It was a huge project under Glory World Corporation in recent years and Xi Xiaye was in charge of the business planning. She was responsible for recruitment planning and handling the vendors that joined them.
The two of them went towards Clothing City as they stepped down from the car.
Mu Yuchen always acted low-profile. Most of the time, he was only with one assistant who was Ah Mo. Currently accompanied by a beautiful girl like Xi Xiaye beside him, in addition to his extraordinary facial features, almost a hundred percent of people turned their heads to look at them.
They walked past the plaza in the open, then they saw a wide and clean path before them, on a signboard in front it clearly indicated "Imperial Sky Fashion Clothing City".
It was the end of the year, so many people were shopping for new clothes. With Imperial Sky Entertainment City opened for a trial business run, there were already many customers. Just standing at the plaza, they could see a large crowd in front of the mall which seemed very lively.

"Things seem quite happening. Let's walk around too."
Xi Xiaye seemed pleased, probably because she was happy and proud as an employee under Glory World Corporation when she saw how positive the customers' reactions were to the trial run.
Mu Yuchen stayed silent when he saw her joyous expression. He nodded and put a hand into his pocket as he casually followed her.
Behind them, Ah Mo and Li Si had no idea whether they should follow them. After giving it some thought, they kept a 10-meter distance behind them and followed the couple carefully.
"This is the high-end shopping area. All the vendors are well-known international brands. I've researched before and these brands are adored by young girls who pursue fashion trends. In our ongoing plans, there'll be a fashion show next April organized by these vendors. The scale will be comparable to international fashion shows. If you have some time, come and take a look then."
Xi Xiaye explained her work to Mu Yuchen as they walked along.
"I heard that you're the one in charge of recruiting vendors," Mu Yuchen glanced at the row of shops and remarked.
Xi Xiaye nodded and replied, "Actually, this should be handled by Director Chu from the Commerce Department, but he was suddenly summoned to shift away somewhere else. I've worked with him frequently and we both worked under Vice President Liu, so I'm familiar with his work, which is why I took it on."
"The results are better than expected. You did great," Mu Yuchen left a simple comment.
Xi Xiaye raised her eyebrows. She turned around and looked at him with a smile on her face. "Then, Chairman Mu, since I did my job so spectacularly, shouldn't you be rewarding me with something? Back then, the old chairman would reward us materialistically. It was a very direct encouragement to us employees."

Mu Yuchen raised his eyebrows too when he heard her. After a short pause, he chuckled. "I took out so much extra profit to reward you all every season, but you're still not satisfied? You really hate to lose out, don't you?!"
"Only idiots would lose out. Do I look so stupid to you?" Xi Xiaye walked backward several steps as she spoke.
Mu Yuchen shook his head helplessly. The smile with that perfect curve was still apparent on his face as he took a black card with some gold engraving on it out and handed it to her. "Here's the card I told you about yesterday. Get anything you like with this."
"Didn't you just give me a credit card?"
Xi Xiaye stared at the rectangular thing in his hand but did not take it. She just stared at him in surprise.
"This is a moving pass under Glory World Entertainment. Are you sure you don't want it?"
Mu Yuchen looked at her questioningly and acted as if he was going to take it back when Xi Xiaye quickly grabbed it.
Only idiots would not want it!
She would never reject it. This was fantastic stuff! With this, she could enjoy the best offer on these branded clothes and even go to hotels or clubs under Glory World Corporation for free.
She was not merely trying to get free perks, but it would make her work easier. It was as if the ancient emperor had just given his subordinate the authority to carry out important missions.
Mu Yuchen smiled when he saw her slide the card into her bag like a piece of treasure. They then continued forward.
She walked in front with him right behind her. Probably because of his aura, people opened up a path wherever they went and gaped at them in awe.
After a long stroll, Xi Xiaye noticed the people around them throwing them weird glances. Then, she turned around and looked at the man behind her.
She realized the man constantly wore a gentle smile on his face and followed behind her like a gentleman. He was like a loyal knight in fairytales, protecting his princess.
"What's wrong?" He halted his steps when she stopped.
Xi Xuaye looked downwards and did some thinking. After that, she looked around and said, "I think that we should... go back out..."
Mu Yuchen held her hand and dragged her to his side before she could finish her sentence. "Let's go."
He then pulled her forward.
Xi Xiaye subconsciously tried to struggle from his grasp. When she looked up at him, she saw two familiar figures from the reflection of the store windows from the corner of her eye.
