Chapter 937: Deal Reached 5
Mu Tiantian found that, even without drinking the red date and white fungus soup, she probably wouldn’t find the taste bitter.
The bitterness seemed to disappear long ago with his kiss.
It was only afterwards that she, in her innocence, realized this moment.
Thinking of this, Mu Tiantian’s cheeks instantly flushed red, and she dared not meet Bai Chenyao’s gaze, quickly lowered her eyes, and took a spoonful of the red date and white fungus soup.
It was sweet and carried a faint fragrance, very tasty.
However, it wasn’t as sweet and intimate as a tenth of his kiss.
The more she thought, the redder Mu Tiantian’s cheeks became. Her cheeks, originally with a light pink hue, turned into two ripe red apples in the silent bedroom.
Looking so tempting, making one want to take a bite.
Bai Chenyao’s eyes deepened somewhat, and his hand holding the pen tightened without Mu Tiantian noticing, before he suddenly looked away and continued with his work.
At the same time, a low, indifferent voice suddenly sounded.
"Drink more!"
Mu Tiantian, not daring to look at Bai Chenyao, didn’t notice the change in his expression. Even if Bai Chenyao hadn’t spoken, she would have continued to drink spoonful by spoonful to ease the subtle emotions in her heart.
Eventually, she even stopped using the spoon, opting to drink straight from the small bowl.
Just as she hadn’t finished the red date and white fungus soup, Li Mu appeared at the bedroom door, knocked, and then walked in.
"Sir!"
Seeing the sir still focused on the documents, Li Mu, accustomed to this state, quickly spoke.
"Sir, an hour ago, Kangyun Group and Shen Group signed off on the Shanshui Mansion project. Here are the relevant documents."
Bai Chenyao, who was looking down at the documents, slowly raised his head and took the documents.
He briefly scanned a few pages, his expression deep and inscrutable against his indifferent and stern face.
"The deal is done!"
Li Mu frowned tightly, staring at Bai Chenyao.
"Sir, if Mu Family’s Kangyun Group and Shen Group successfully collaborate, it could pose a potential threat to our Bai Group."
Bai Chenyao casually cast a glance at Li Mu, his long fingers sliding over the documents Li Mu had handed over previously.
Squinting his eyes, Bai Chenyao’s voice was exceedingly cold.
"People’s desires grow as they see hope. Without hope, they’d remain inactive, which would be our loss!"
Li Mu: "..."
So, everything was within the sir’s expectations, and there was no need to worry too much.
Even if... the opponent is Shen Group!
It’s known that in Shengjing, the Shen Family is second only to the Bai Family, or one could say, they are almost on the same level. It’s just that the Bai Family has the sir, who is like a miracle, making the Shen Family seem somewhat inferior.
Beside them, Mu Tiantian listened to the conversation between Bai Chenyao and Li Mu, only feeling that her brain wasn’t processing fast enough.
In these two years, although she made efforts to catch up on the information about the Shen and Mu families and other prominent families, her attention was always on the Mu Family, then the Bai Family.
As for the Shen Family, all she knew was that the Shen and Bai families appeared harmonious but had hearts at odds. The Bai Family had many heirs, and the Shen Family too, though both had internal conflicts. Yet for years, the political struggle between the Shen and Bai families had never ceased.
