4040: The Other Side 9

The Other Side 9

Yun Shishi nodded, as another thought suddenly struck her. She looked at him and ventured, "What about… 'him'?"2

"Mmmm?"

"Previously. Alice said your personality had been destroyed. I kept thinking…" She steadied her own emotions again and said sadly, "I thought you'd never come back, that was why…"

"'He' isn't dead. He's still here, but … I don't know when he'll be back." The boy added, "But I'm sure Mommy will see him again."

Yun Shishi was relieved to hear that, but something else worried her.

"The both of you… coexist?"

"Uh huh."

"But … your body won't be able to hold up this way, will it?" Youyou did not answer the question directly, for even he did not know how long the coexistence of two personalities would last.

"Mommy, don't worry about this. Even if you worried about it, there's nothing you can do."

She said nothing more.

…

Shengyu Group.

Mu Yazhe was in the CEO's office, looking through his notebook, but his eyes were blank. It was hard to tell what he was thinking. For some reason, he had been feeling inexplicably uneasy since yesterday.

His cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up. It was Yun Shishi. He was surprised. She would not normally call while he was at work, unless there was a special situation. Either she had run into something tricky, or…

He didn't want to make any guesses and asked anxiously, "What is it, Shishi?"

"Are you … coming back for lunch?"

"Why? What's the matter?" Usually, he would eat at the office, but now that she suddenly asked him if he would be home for lunch, he became even more suspicious that something had happened.

"It's nothing much. If you're free, why don't you come back and have lunch with me?"

He arched his brow at her brisk tone, and felt more settled somewhat. "Alright, since Madam has extended an invitation, I see no reason for me not to go home?"

"Hmph, have you been sneaking peeks at my script? Why are you sounding so much like someone form the ancient times?"

Mu Yazhe smiled gently at her. "You've been carrying your script with you everywhere you go ever since you took on the show. Of course I have to take a look at the script to see why it fascinates you so much!"

"I knew it!" Yun Shishi snorted and immediately said, "Okay, no more jokes. Come home soon. Youyou has a surprise for you."

"Youyou?"

"Shhh, it's a secret." She quickly hung up, probably worried about revealing too much.

Mu Yazhe put the phone away, closed his notebook, and immediately stood up. As he walked to the door, he ran into Lu Jinyu. The man was looking for him.

"What's for lunch today, Boss?"

Mu Yazhe glanced at him and replied, "You're on your own for lunch."

Lu Jinyu sized him up suspiciously. "Why? Aren't you coming with me?"

"No."

"Do you have an appointment with someone?" Lu Jinyu made a show of sniffing in the air. "Yo, who is our boss meeting for lunch? There's an affair going on. I have to report to Sister-in-law."

"Sure. I'm going home for lunch. Go ahead and make your report!'

Lu Jinyu loved to snitch. He would tell Yun Shishi every detail about Mu Yazhe's movements.

"What? Going home for lunch?"

It was unprecedented. One had to know that Mu Yazhe was a busy man who would often settle his lunch casually.
