Chapter 297: Chapter 159: Xu Xiyue: Content to Be Your Lover

Her tone was casual, even nonchalant.

Like she said, if she wasn’t afraid of death, why would she care about any of this?

Offering herself, being his mistress—she didn’t care about any of it.

Her mindset had undergone an earth-shattering change, especially after standing on that rooftop today, with half her body already over the edge.

You could say she had already died once.

She truly had been determined to jump.

Her way of thinking was now completely different from a normal person’s.

Her family was gone, and her career was a complete failure.

She had no attachments left in this world.

As long as Chen Mo could help her succeed, let her return to the venture capital industry, and prove to everyone that she wasn’t a jinx—prove her abilities.

To erase all the resentment in her heart.

Then everything she had could belong exclusively to Chen Mo.

Including her body, her heart, her life, and the rest of her future.

Besides, if Chen Mo hadn’t pulled her back down, she would have been dead already.

It was like she was giving this life back to him.

After hearing Xu Xiyue’s words, Chen Mo fell silent again.

He didn’t know what to say.

’Was that what I meant?’

’Why does she always have to jump to conclusions?’

’When did I ever say I wanted to sleep with her?’

’Am I that kind of person?’

Chen Mo felt there was something seriously wrong with Xu Xiyue’s way of thinking.

But then again...

’If she was so stubbornly insistent on interpreting it that way, he supposed he didn’t have any objections.’

’After all, she was a gorgeous and talented woman. Who wouldn’t appreciate such a full-bodied, forward charge?’

And since she was the one who had proactively suggested it, what objection could Chen Mo possibly have?

As far as he was concerned, he was getting a gorgeous woman for free.

By day, she would work for him, handling company affairs.

At night, she could help him handle... business worth hundreds of millions.

The key was that in the end, all the money she earned would be his.

He was essentially giving up nothing, yet getting everything he was supposed to get.

And he was getting things he wasn’t supposed to get, too...

"Since you’ve put it that way, it’s a deal."

"Come to work tomorrow. I’ll match the salary, benefits, and project commission you had at Sky Dome Capital."

Chen Mo smiled faintly and extended his hand to her.

"Okay."

Xu Xiyue didn’t hesitate, extending her slender, fair hand to shake Chen Mo’s.

Before she went up to the rooftop, she felt like her life was completely hopeless.

But now, she saw a glimmer of hope again.

’I hope Chen Mo won’t let me down.’

"I’m going to head back then. I’ll get some sleep, sober up, and come to your office to work tomorrow morning."

Xu Xiyue was a woman with strong ambition and an exceptional ability to get things done. Once she confirmed she was joining Chen Mo’s company, she knew it was time to go home.

Otherwise, it would affect her work tomorrow.

She tried to stand up, but she’d had quite a bit to drink, and her legs had gone numb from sitting for so long, making it a little difficult.

Seeing this, Chen Mo helped her up.

Once she was on her feet, her beautiful eyes scanned the area, and she found her high heels nearby.

After slipping her fair feet into her heels, she picked up the wine bottle and started toward the elevators.

But seeing her swaying as she walked, Chen Mo couldn’t help but shake his head.

"Let me take you home."

Chen Mo wrapped an arm around her shoulder, letting her lean on him for support as he guided her toward the elevators.

Xu Xiyue didn’t refuse. Leaning against him, she was indeed much steadier.

"Afraid someone might pick me up?"

Xu Xiyue turned her head slightly, her stunning, flushed face facing him. Her beautiful eyes held a teasing glint as she looked at him.

"If someone picked you up, your project would be gone, too."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, replying playfully.

"Then you’d better take me home. The project is more important than I am."

Xu Xiyue gave a faint smile. She was in the mood to joke around now.

Before Chen Mo came up, she had been completely numb inside.

Next, Chen Mo, with his arm still around her, took the elevator down to the underground garage.

After she settled into the passenger seat of the 911, she seemed to think of something.

"What happens when Xia Shiqing finds out about this?"

Xu Xiyue turned her head, her beautiful eyes looking at Chen Mo curiously.

"Are you scared?"

Chen Mo’s eyebrow shot up as he looked at her with a smile.

"What do I have to be scared of? As long as the project succeeds, I don’t care about anything else."

"I’m afraid *you* won’t handle it well and let your emotions affect your judgment."

Xu Xiyue shook her head, casually flicking her long, wavy hair as she spoke nonchalantly.

She truly didn’t care. Even if Xia Shiqing showed up at her door, pointed a finger in her face, and screamed at her, it wouldn’t bother her in the slightest.

Her experiences this year had forged her mentality into something unassailable.

As long as the project could succeed, she could ignore everything else.

"Don’t worry, she doesn’t meddle in these things."

Chen Mo just smiled and said it casually.

Hearing this, a flash of understanding crossed Xu Xiyue’s beautiful eyes.

She thought she understood.

Right. She understood. Again.

Whether she really understood or not was anyone’s guess.
