He lowered his gaze, watching her eyes filled with gentle ripples of water, "Merry Christmas."
As his words fell, his elegantly shaped thin lips slowly curved into a clear, water-like smile.
Qin Muni lowered her eyes, no longer looking at Xu Yisen, deeply afraid that seeing his extremely tender demeanor again, she would be unable to resist wavering.
Xu Yisen placed his hands on Qin Muni's shoulders, causing her to instinctively look up, perplexed, at his exquisitely drawn brows and eyes.
"Although Uncle is no longer here, as long as I am here, I will ensure your safety and prosperity."
His voice was low and alluring, yet his tone carried a suffocating seduction akin to poppies.
Qin Muni's heart couldn't help but pound violently, the rapid rhythm made her a bit flustered.
She clenched her hands hanging to one side into fists, the slight pain in her palms allowed her to stay clear-headed and not lose composure in his presence.
The corners of her red lips slowly lifted a bright and brilliant smile; with the arc of the smile, her soft and charming almond eyes seemed to bloom with thousands of peach blossoms at that instant, exuding a captivating, peerless charm.
She lightly raised her brows, a hint of pride and recklessness unconsciously spread across her brow, "Yisen always keeps his word, so with your promise, I can rest assured."
One of Xu Yisen's hands was still on Qin Muni's shoulder, while the other raised slightly, indulgently patting Qin Muni's head, "Hm."
After Xu Yisen left, Qin Muni remained distracted, half-reclined on the chaise longue in the study, holding a book in one hand while gently touching the diamond pendant on her neck with the other.
The phone she placed on the coffee table suddenly lit up, buzzing with vibration.
She quickly snapped back, placing the book to one side, sitting up straight, and slightly leaning forward to pick up the phone on the coffee table.
"Munni, just now, while I was visiting Wang Yuequan's house, a group of prosecutors and police suddenly stormed in, claiming they would prosecute him for bribery, operating a casino, and intentional murder. They searched Wang Yuequan's home, took away his personal computer and some important documents, and also took Wang Yuequan for questioning.
From what I see, these prosecutors came fiercely, and clearly have ample evidence to prosecute Wang Yuequan. Although Wang Yuequan's character isn't great, he's always careful in his work, how did he leave behind such a big handle to be caught?
By the way, Munni, why did you ask me to visit Wang Yuequan tonight? Did you...know something?"
As Uncle Li spoke, Qin Muni had already risen from the chaise longue and walked to the window, looking indifferently at the brightly lit city outside.
Uncle Li was her father's close friend when he was alive, not a director of the Fanshu Group, but acquainted with director Wang Yuequan.
So after Xu Yisen left in the afternoon, she had called Uncle Li, asking him to visit Wang Yuequan at night.
Although Uncle Li was somewhat puzzled as to why Qin Muni suddenly asked him to visit Wang Yuequan, he straightforwardly agreed.
And Qin Muni's purpose in doing so was undoubtedly to verify her earlier suspicion—Xu Yisen seemed genuinely interested in her?
Thinking of his words to her earlier, "Although Uncle is no longer here, as long as I am here, I will ensure your safety and prosperity," Qin Muni couldn't help but lift an enigmatic smile on the corner of her red lips.
"Uncle Li, you've overthought. Since father passed away, apart from the inheritance he left, I have nothing else, how could I possibly know anything?"
