President's Brand

Chapter 24

After playing for a whole day, Xi Mu felt comfortable physically and mentally.Back at the hotel, she immediately called Cheng An, wanting to surprise her.Ten days ago, Cheng An came to the Maldives to investigate work, and she always showed off on the phone how beautiful and good it is, but today Xi Mu saw it with her own eyes, and it really is a paradise for vacation.

After hanging up the phone, Xi Mu went to the hotel lobby to wait for Cheng An.Soon, Cheng An hurried back, and when he saw Xi Mu, he couldn't help but blame her for teasing.

When he came to the hotel's underwater restaurant for dinner, Xi Mu was stunned by the sight in front of him.The restaurant is built 6 meters below the sea level, surrounded by transparent plexiglass, and you can see colorful coral reefs and various marine life shuttling among the coral reefs while dining.This restaurant can only accommodate 12 people.

Cheng An found the manager of the restaurant, and after mentioning Qin Yao's name, he was immediately assigned the best seat.At this time, Xi Mu knew that Qin Yao had also come here, she thought to herself, no wonder the Qin family arranged to come here this year, there was a reason for it!
Cheng An held the menu, looked down at her with a smirk, reached out and patted her, "Damn girl, what are you laughing at? Hurry up and order!"

"Yes!" Seeing that her face was slightly red, Xi Mu quickly put away her smile, and looked at the menu seriously.

Seafood dinner, strong wine, a sumptuous dinner makes people feel happy.After the meal, Cheng An was temporarily called away by a phone call, saying that there was an abnormality at work.

After sending her away, Xi Mu turned around and walked towards the elevator, when a figure suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Not far away, Ling He walked towards him. He was wearing flaxen casual clothes, which brought out his elegant temperament. There were several other people around him, and a group of people walked towards the restaurant together.

Xi Mu stood on the spot, stunned for a few seconds, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that they had all gone away, and only his tall and straight back could be seen.

Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, Xi Mu sighed, turned around and entered the elevator.She lowered her head all the way, and happened to miss the sharp gaze cast on her.

Back in the hotel room, Xi Mu's originally comfortable mood suddenly sank down.After taking a bath, she only felt a headache and sneezed a few times in a row, which turned out to be a bit of a cold.Taking out the cold medicine she brought, she took two pills, thinking to herself that she would still have a fever in such a hot weather.

The beach at night is charming, and the gentle sea breeze can't blow away the loss in her heart.After approving a coat, she walked out of the room and went for a walk on the beach in the hotel.

With fine white sand and slightly cool sea water, Xi Mu walked barefoot on the beach with his shoes on, and the depression in his heart gradually eased.Under the bright starry sky, she sat on the rock, resting her chin on her hands, looking at the starry sky, letting go of her mood.

In the hotel, at the door of a guest room, a handsome man was standing right now. He reached out to ring the doorbell, but he hesitated and did not press it.

Looking at the closed door, Ling He took a few deep breaths, thinking of the conversation with her that morning, his heart felt tense.That day she rushed away angrily, and the hurt eyes in her eyes surprised him.Could it be that he, thinking wildly, wronged her?Such questions bothered him, so he must know the answer tonight!

Ding-dong-

The doorbell was rang, but there was no response for a long time.

After waiting for a full minute, Ling He made sure that there was no one in the room, with a complicated expression on his face.After inquiring at the front desk, he was secretly relieved to learn that Xi Mu hadn't checked out, and wanted to go to the beach outside to look for her.

In the bright lobby of the hotel, a man in a black suit passed by. The cold aura emanating from his whole body made everyone turn their eyes to him.Ling He was about to take a step, but when he saw the appearance of the person coming, he stopped abruptly.

Qiao Xiyao walked over with a stern expression, and he went straight into the elevator all the way, his eyes still cold as usual.

Seeing his figure disappear in front of his eyes, Ling He squinted his eyes, and the tenderness in his eyes turned cold in an instant.

Qiao Xiyao returned to the presidential suite of the hotel with a tired expression.He took off his suit, unbuttoned his collar, and poured himself a glass of red wine.

Holding the wine glass, he opened the balcony door to let the sea breeze blow in.Standing on the balcony, he looked into the distance, the tiredness on his face gradually eased.

Suddenly, the small figure sitting on the beach caught his attention. He stared at it, and after seeing that person's face clearly, a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

The scene of that night of drunkenness emerged in his mind, which moved his cold and hard face, and there was an indistinct light in those obsidian-like eyes at the moment.

Qiao Xiyao picked up the wine glass and sipped the red wine in the glass, his eyes were gloomy.He took out his cell phone and pressed a number.

On the beach, Xi Mu was concentrating on the night sky when the phone in her pocket suddenly rang, which surprised her.After hearing the ringtone of the mobile phone, her face suddenly sank, and her brows were all wrinkled.

"Hello!" She frowned and answered the phone helplessly.

"I want to see you tonight!" On the other end of the phone, the man's deep and cold voice remained unchanged.

"No!" Xi Mu's face turned pale, remembering what happened that night, she didn't dare to see him, and immediately replied, "I'm abroad, didn't I..."

It's just that before she could finish her words, the man on the other end of the phone had lost his patience, "Room 1880."

"..."

Xi Mu was in a daze, wondering why this person couldn't understand Chinese?

Qiao Xiyao held the phone, his eyes flashed brightly, and before she could hear her voice, he sneered and whispered: "I give you two options. One, you come up. Two, I'll go down."

Chaos' head exploded because of his words, Xi Mu gradually understood, almost without thinking, and immediately answered him, "I'll choose one."

After pressing the phone's hang-up button, Qiao Xiyao raised his head and drank the red wine in his hand. The moonlight shone on his tall figure.The line of his jaw is sharp, his brows are furrowed, and the complex between his brows is like a gentle bayonet.

There was a beeping sound in the phone, and after a few seconds of stunned, Xi Mu suddenly felt a shiver all over his body, and a chill permeated his skin.The sky was still full of stars just now, but now it was covered with dark clouds.Looking at the dark sky, she stood up slowly, bowed her head, and walked towards the hotel.
