Chapter 46 The Shocking Secret

Situ Hai didn't give it much thought and was elated at the fact that the collaboration with Mu Xia was not cancelled.

"That's great, that's great! Shan Shan, thank Young Master Ye quickly!"

Mu Xia gazed at Situ Hai intently.

Situ Hai would call her "Shan Shan" when she was useful. But when she was useless, Situ Hai would call her "Xia" 「What a stark contrast…」

She turned towards Ye Sijue and forced out her words. "Thank you."

"No problem. Instead, I should thank Ms. Mu for collaborating with us." Ye Sijue said and he continued to talk to Situ Hai. "I would like to speak to Ms. Mu privately for the details of the collaboration. Mr. Situ, please follow my staff to sign the contract next door."

"Sure, sure. Take your time."

Situ Hai followed the staff to the meeting room next door to sign the contract with a smile. The meeting room was now left with Ye Sijue and Mu Xia.

Mu Xia bit her lips and broke the silence. "I'm sorry you have to see my dad like this…"

"You did nothing wrong. Why are you apologizing?"

Mu Xia looked at Ye Sijue. His gaze was dark, and she couldn't find a hint of disdain nor sarcasm in his eyes.

He protected her dignity.

Mu Xia pursed her lips and said, "Thank you…"

Ye Sijue pointed at the seat beside her and said, "Don't thank or apologize anymore. Take a seat. Let's talk about business."

"Alright." Mu Xia pulled out the chair and sat. They sat facing each other closely, and she could even see Ye Sijue's eyelashes clearly.

Ye Sijue took out a contract and said, "The Midnight Coffee Café is an important project for us this year. We will start the advertising and marketing campaigns tomorrow. Your shooting task might be tough for the following days. This is your schedule for the week. Take a look."

Mu Xia took over the densely packed schedule. Besides shooting tasks, there was a stream of tasks such as live streams and ribbon-cutting ceremonies.

She carefully looked over and nodded. "Alright, I will cooperate with you."

After a brief silence, Ye Sijue spoke, "I thought you were not in favor of being our ambassador. What made you change your mind?"

Mu Xia smiled lightly. "I have my own reason. But you don't have to worry, since I have agreed to this, I will give my best."

"Alright."

Ye Sijue stood up and said, "They should be done with the contract soon. You can go back and rest for the day. Tomorrow onwards, there will be a team following you throughout. Let them know if you need anything."

"Thank you." Mu Xia stood up as well.

Ye Sijue gazed at her with a doubtful look and asked suddenly, "Is Hai your biological father?"

Mu Xia was stunned. "Otherwise?"

「Even though my mom had passed away, but it was true that she and Hai were a married couple. If my biological father was not Hai, who else could it be?」

"Maybe you should take a test. You're nothing like your father."

Mu Xia went silent.

Situ Hai was indeed very different from her in terms of look and personality.

But she never thought Situ Hai was not her biological father.

But since Ye Sijue had mentioned it, a seed of suspicion was planted in her head unknowingly.

Mu Xia left the meeting room. Situ Hai was hugging the signed contract as if it was his precious baby.

"Let me walk you down." Ye Sijue made a gesture with his hand.

Situ Hai quickly waved. "I'm honored enough to have Young Master Ye sign the contract personally. How can I trouble you to walk us down?"

Ye Sijue replied without changing his expression. "This project is very important to the Ye Group. So I will follow through with the project personally."

The person in charge behind him was stunned upon hearing his words.

「How can Midnight Coffee Café be compared to the other projects on young master's plate?」

The person in charge glanced at Mu Xia with a knowing glance. He felt that he had probably discovered a shocking secret.
