C42 It's Your Last Piece of Advice

And it would never come out, because once it came out, there would be unimaginable destruction for him.

He could only use his coldness and ruthlessness to hide himself. Maybe he would never say it out when his life was about to end. He would bury himself in the grave with it forever.

"Why did you resign?" Xiao Qinghan suddenly asked in a hoarse voice.

Ling Muxue's body trembled because of his words. He actually knew she was resigning so quickly, but then she realized that it was a piece of cake for Xiao Qinghan to control a person.

Since he had said that day, that she had broken the rules, that she had done her duty as a wife, that he had let her lover take on the commercial, and had made her responsible, it had been obvious.

She knew that Xiao Qinghan would not let go of any opportunity to humiliate her.

Seeing that Ling Muxue didn't say a word, Xiao Qinghan pushed her away and looked at her coldly. Her eyes were filled with sarcasm that pierced his eyes.

"Are you asking me a question?" The angry roar trembled in the sea breeze, and the atmosphere became heavy once again.

"Do you want to know?" Ling Muxue looked at him and asked in a cold voice.

Xiao Qinghan looked at her for a brief moment of silence, and then at her cold and mocking eyes. He was actually a little afraid of what she was about to say. He already had the answer, but he still wanted to get a different one from her.

Just as she was about to speak, her phone suddenly rang. Xiao Qinghan let go of Ling Muxue's hand and reached into his pocket for his phone.

He said in a cold voice, "What's the matter?"

Qin Feng's voice was trembling with respect. "President! Miss Yue... I've been looking for you. She has prepared a candlelight dinner today to apologize to you, she..." Just as Xiao Qinghan was about to hang up the phone, he caught a glimpse of Ling Muxue's cold eyes trembling slightly. He asked in a deep voice, "Where is she now?"

Qin Feng gave her the address. He didn't expect the CEO to ask her directly. If it wasn't for the fact that Yue Liuli kept calling him and that she had been waiting in the luxurious restaurant for several hours, after all, Yue Liuli was a woman the CEO doted on. Qin Feng couldn't bear to see her like this, so he finally summoned up the courage to call her.

Xiao Qinghan hung up the phone.

"It seems that Miss Yue Liuli has been waiting for a long time. Young Master Xiao, you should go back quickly so that Miss Yue won't be unhappy." She curled her lips, and there was nothing strange about her cold voice.

Xiao Qinghan looked at her sideways, his eyes slightly lowered. "Are you jealous?"

Ling Muxue only smiled sarcastically and did not answer him directly. Instead, she said faintly, "It's getting late, Miss Yue is still waiting for you. I don't want to delay you." There was no emotion in her clear and cold voice in the wind. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to the side and her arm was suddenly pulled. She looked up and met her widened eyes.

"Let me ask you again. Are you jealous?" Her sharp eyes fell on her face, as if they were going to pierce through her. She tried her best to find the different emotions on her face.

"What do you think?" Jealousy? She really wanted to laugh. Right now, she really hoped that he would leave as soon as possible. It would be best if he stayed by Yue Liuli's side forever.

Xiao Qinghan looked at her cold and mocking eyes and hoped that he would quickly return to Yue Liuli's side. His cold lips curled into a bitter smile. He was really stupid. How could she be jealous?! How could she be jealous?!

He clearly knew the result, but he still asked such a stupid question like a fool.

"Good! Very good! Ling Muxue, you are really good." He gritted his teeth as he spoke. The evil aura around his body mixed with the roaring sea breeze, making him even more intimidating.

She looked at the anger in Xiao Qinghan's eyes and felt the change in his aura. She didn't know what he was angry about. Did she say something wrong? Did he care about how he felt in her heart when he hated her? He was just thinking about how to humiliate her.

"You must be responsible for the contract with Charm Jewelry!" Xiao Qinghan said forcefully.

"I've already resigned."

"Resign?" Xiao Qinghan laughed coldly. "Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, this is my last advice to you." His cold voice carried a domineering tone, and his arrogant eyes were as cold and ruthless as an emperor's.

Xiao Qinghan took Ling Muxue away from the beach and sent her back to the Western suburbs villa. Instead of following her, he drove away.

When she saw him leave, Ling Muxue felt much more at ease. He must have gone to accompany Yue Liuli. This new pet of his was probably the longest she had been in the past three years. Yue Liuli's appearance was indeed more charming than the previous celebrities. It was no wonder that Xiao Qinghan doted on her so much.

What she didn't know was that Xiao Qinghan did not go looking for Yue Liuli. Instead, he drove straight back to his own villa and returned to his own lonely villa.

The next day, Ling Muxue did not go to the Xiao's Group. His warning yesterday had indeed made her tremble. She had also been conflicted for the entire night, but when she thought of his cold and heartless eyes, how could she return to the tiger's den?

It was Jing's day off today, and she had spent a few days with Xiao Qinghan. She felt as if she had been living for centuries, and her heart was filled with sadness. So she invited her out for a meal to relax her mood.

The two of them met in a simple green café.

"Did you resign?" Yin Xiaoxiao was shocked. She knew about Ling Muxue's situation, and her salary was pretty good, so she worked very hard, but she knew that most of her money had already been used to pay off the debts of the Ling's, so she was a little surprised that she suddenly resigned.

Ling Muxue briefly explained the situation.

Hearing this, Yin Xiaoxiao was furious. She sat up straight and put down the coffee cup in her hand angrily: "Xiao Qinghan is going too far! What did he want to do? He actually humiliated you like this. What does he take you for? To humiliate his wife in front of his mistress, such a handsome face should be splashed with sulphuric acid! It's good that you quit your job so that you won't see those two disgusting people." After venting his anger, he took a sip of coffee.

Then he smiled and looked at her like a fox. "Muxue, why don't you come to my magazine? I think with your ability, it won't be long before I have to give up my position as the editor-in-chief."

Ling Muxue smiled gently and teased, "Forget it. I won't take your bowl."

"Tch! I was afraid that you would snatch my rice bowl from me. You will be the editor-in-chief, and I will be the editor-in-chief!" In fact, Yin Xiaoxiao had always wanted to poach Ling Muxue to their magazine, but unfortunately, she was stuck in the jewelry industry.

"Forget it. I'm going to look for a job with jewelry design. Help me keep an eye on it as well."
