Chapter 12 You Are The Best
- They went to a cafeteria near the university.
- “Which part do you need revision on?” Lin Jinyuan asked Tang Muyue as they were having their lunch.
- Tang Muyue shrugged her shoulders and sighed, “I don’t know. Everything, I guess? Jinyuan, you’re my only hope.”
- “Huh?” Lin Jinyuan obviously didn’t expect Tang Muyue’s results to be so poor. She continued, “Fine. I’ll highlight all the important parts for you. Make sure you do your revision.”
- Lin Jinyuan took out her pen and marked all the important points. She covered every single detail and missed nothing.
- Jinyuan is so kind. Instead of resenting me for bullying her in the past, she is helping me wholeheartedly, Tang Muyue thought. Touched by her newfound friend’s generosity, she said, “Thank you, Jinyuan!”
- Lin Jinyuan didn’t find it troublesome. She replied enthusiastically, “You’re welcome! I can give you a tutorial if you need.”
- Tang Muyue nodded her head vigorously. “That’s great! But I won’t be needing it for the time being because I have a personal tutor at home. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely come to you if I need your help,” she grinned, obviously happy to talk about her tutor.
- The two girls exchanged contact numbers after their meal. Then Tang Muyue called for a cab and headed off to Li Group Corporation.
- Song Jingyuan called when she was in the cab. Tang Muyue pretended as if she didn’t see it and ignored the call.
- Feeling that things were rapidly getting out of her control, Song Jingyuan became frustrated and uneasy after calling thrice in a row. Is Tang Muyue deliberately ignoring my calls?
- Tang Muyue sauntered into the headquarter of Li Group Corporation.
- Xu Mo saw the approaching girl and his head throbbed instinctively. Oh dear, why is she here again? What is she trying to do now?
- He went forward and asked, “Young Mistress, what brings you here today?”
- Tang Muyue didn’t hold back either, she asked point-blank, “I’m here for Xuanxiao. He’s in the company, right?”
- Xu Mo nodded. “Young Master is currently in his office. Would you like me to inform him you’re here?”
- “Sure, please go ahead.” Tang Muyue nodded as she sat on a couch nearby.
- Xu Mo went back to his seat immediately and called Li Xuanxiao. He told his boss anxiously, “Young Master, Young Mistress is here. She’s currently sitting on the couch and she wants to see you.”
- Why is she here?
- His eyebrows twitched. “Alright.” He hung up the phone.
- Li Xuanxiao walked out of his office. His tall figure, complemented by the business suit that he was wearing, made him charismatic and elegant.
- Tang Muyue smiled lovingly when she saw him.
- The man, on the other hand, was surprised by her visit. “Why are you here today?”
- He was confused. Just what exactly is on her mind?
- Tang Muyue ignored him and replied happily, “I’m here to study.”
- Li Xuanxiao raised his eyebrows. “Study?”
- “That’s right. I will have my final examination soon, and there’s so much that I don’t understand. I need you to teach me.”
- Tang Muyue knew that Li Xuanxiao was a double PhD holder from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) majoring in Finance and Business Management.
- Being mentored by such a genius is a rare opportunity! Besides, I can use this excuse to get closer to him.
- However, Li Xuanxiao rejected her sternly. “This is a workplace, not your private tuition class. I need to work and have no time for that. Go home.”
- He didn’t expect Tang Muyue to be so persistent as she continued begging, “Please don’t chase me away. Don’t worry, Xuanxiao. I won’t interrupt you. Please, you’ve got to help me or I’m going to fail this semester. I won’t be able to graduate in time. If you don’t let me in, I’m not leaving today!”
- As Tang Muyue went on, she wore a pitiful face, hitting him on his soft spots.
- He could tell from her expression that she was determined to stay until she got what she came for. Li Xuanxiao pinched his glabella as he turned around and said helplessly, “Come in.”
- “Coming!” Tang Muyue was happy all of a sudden. She ran in excitedly, carrying her books.
- The office door closed, leaving a sceptical Xu Mo standing right where he was. Is this really the spoiled Young Mistress that I know? Why is she behaving like a completely different person? I guess women can be fickle-minded creatures.
- Tang Muyue observed the surroundings of the office after she went in and finally set her sight on Li Xuanxiao’s table.
- “Xuanxiao, do you mind if I borrow your table for a while?” Tang Muyue asked cautiously.
- Afraid of being rejected, she assured him, “Don’t worry. I’ll only take up a bit of your space. Look how little stuff I have. I promise I will not get in your way!”
- Li Xuanxiao nodded.
- Tang Muyue was so happy that she immediately went to get a chair to sit opposite her tutor. She took out her notes like an excited child.
- She was focused as she began doing her revision based on the highlights that Lin Jinyuan gave her.
- Li Xuanxiao thought she was just fooling around. But looking at how serious and focused she was, he couldn't help but wonder what had happened.
- He tried holding back his curiosity countless times before he finally asked, “Didn’t you used to hate studying? What are you trying to do this time?”
- Tang Muyue raised her head and looked him in his eyes. “Indeed, I disliked studying in the past. But now, I have decided to study hard and I’ll stop fooling around! However, I... might need your help.”
- Her voice became softer and softer.
- Li Xuanxiao knitted his eyebrows in confusion. “What kind of help?”
- Tang Muyue took out the stack of notes given to her by Lin Jinyuan and put it right in front of Li Xuanxiao. “These… I’m confused by all these; can you please teach me?” she asked helplessly.
- He ignored the stuff on his table and looked into her eyes. He could feel that she was telling the truth. In the end, he agreed.
- Tang Muyue jumped excitingly. “That’s a yes! Thank God!”
- Tang Muyue couldn't hold back her excitement as she leaned forward to wrap her arms around Li Xuanxiao’s neck and gave him a kiss on his cheek.
- “I knew it! Xuanxiao, you are the best!”
