Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me-Chapter 1470: Give Her Some Time [Ling Xing]

"So sudden?"

"I overheard it. My father’s company is having some issues. If they can’t be resolved, they’ll abandon all the Manchester market," Shen Lingfeng said flatly, "Maybe they can hold out for a few more years, maybe they’ll liquidate and withdraw in a year or so. I don’t know when, but there may come a time when the Shen Family has no place in Manchester."

This is grown-up talk. They speak with a heavy tone, yet they have no other options.

Shen Lingfeng knows, his father always hoped he could develop a closer relationship with Youyou to connect with the Gu family.

But he doesn’t like this, doesn’t like approaching people with an agenda, doesn’t like solving problems in such a hollow way.

Moreover, he feels that Uncle Gu is someone who distinguishes between business and personal matters, and would not agree to such unreasonable demands.

These things, however, he saw no need to tell Gu Zimo.

"By the way, this is just my speculation, don’t tell your sister," he mentioned after pondering for a moment.

He was a bit curious about what kind of reaction this classmate, who forcefully sat next to him, would have.

But thinking of her usual reactions, Shen Lingfeng thought it was better he didn’t know.

"I’m heading back first, let her know I have something to do."

Gu Zimo had no choice but to nod.

Bai Lingyun left the villa, and hadn’t seen any trace of Mu Xing.

Along the way, he greeted quite a few people, eventually spotting Mu Bei in the garden.

"Mr. Bai."

Bai Lingyun smiled faintly, "No need to be so formal."

Mu Bei pondered for a moment, "Brother-in-law?"

A few subordinates nearby were suddenly stunned and stared.

"Mu Xing wasn’t lying, she’s really in a relationship?"

"The boyfriend is actually Young Master Bai."

Bai Lingyun’s expression was somewhat perplexed, unsure of why Gu Annan’s usually expressionless subordinates were so excited.

"Ignore them." Mu Bei smiled helplessly, sending them off first, "It was just when Mu Xing came over earlier, she said it herself. Getting her to admit something like this is not an easy thing."

"I know." He recalled Mu Xing’s constant hesitation, "Getting her to acknowledge it truly wasn’t easy."

"Mr. Bai," Mu Bei said seriously, "Mu Xing has never met a boy she liked in the past, you should know that, right?"

He shrugged, indicating he knew.

Compared to the thought of having no future with him, it was a small consolation.

"I know she likes me, but perhaps she’s not planning to like me for long."

Mu Bei listened to this peculiar emphasis, looked at Bai Lingyun’s slightly troubled appearance.

If he hadn’t seen it himself, it would have been hard to believe.

"She just lacks a sense of security, give her some time, be more patient," Mu Bei patted his shoulder, "We were orphans from a young age, abandoned by others. It’s not even that we had a bad family, but rather no family. She simply has no confidence, do you understand what I mean? She’s been strong-willed since young, always trying to do her best because our lives have no fallback."

Bai Lingyun squinted slightly, realizing he’s overlooked too many issues.

"I understand now." He quickly looked up.

"You understand?"

"It’s nothing, I’m going to find her now. By the way, you guys continue with Young Gu’s full month celebration, I’ve already given my gift, so I won’t stay long. That’s it, goodbye."

Mu Bei wanted to say more but saw that he had already left.

What exactly did he understand!

The baffled Mu Xing, still mid-conversation with someone, suddenly found her wrist grabbed and was led away.
