Chapter 273 Pretty Women Have No Brains

After Gong Yu pulled out a large suitcase and opened the wardrobe, he began to help Murong Yunxi pack up her things.

When Murong Yunxi came out of the shower, Gong Yu was no longer in the room. A big suitcase near the window was open, inside which was neatly packed clothes. Gong Yu classified the clothes into different bags, including coats, underwear, shoes, cosmetics, and toiletries. They were all meticulously arranged by category.

Murong Yunxi was shocked and was amazed at Gong Yu’s thoughtfulness. She didn’t remember to take all these items. The fact that Gong Yu could pack the luggage so neatly also surprised her. Gong Yu could use the most space-saving method to pack things. Murong Yunxi could not help wondering if she could bring these things back in their original appearance.

The door was pushed open and Gong Yu came in with a pile of things in his hands.

“Have you finished?” Gong Yu asked casually as he went over to the suitcase and continued to stuff it.

“You did all this?” Murong Yunxi asked, pointing at the suitcase.

“Sure!”

“God, I wonder if you’re a Virgo!”

Gong Yu didn’t follow Murong Yunxi and he looked up. “What do you mean?”

Although Gong Yu knew that there were constellations, he didn’t understand them. He didn’t even know what sign he was.

“Virgos are perfectionists, and many of them have obsessive-compulsive disorders! Look at how you’ve put these things together. I doubt you’re a Virgo!” Murong Yunxi explained, and she took the things Gong Yu was about to put in the suitcase.

Gong Yu grabbed a box of medicine for colds from Murong Yunxi and put it back in the suitcase. “What sign am I?”

“You, of course, are the most devious Scorpio!”

“Devious?”

“Ha, Scorpios are very vindictive, so it’s a devious constellation.”

“Maybe.”

Gong Yu soon packed everything in and was about to close the suitcase. Murong Yunxi suddenly stopped him. “Wait!”

“What’s the matter?” Gong Yu looked up at Murong Yunxi in doubt. He thought that he might have left something behind.

“Are you sure I have to take all these things with me? I don’t need so many things. Many things are useless, and you’ve packed them so well that I doubt if I can put them back in the suitcase as they are.”

“When you travel outside, you need to bring everything with you. Although you can buy things now, they are not as convenient as home, and you have to go out and buy them. I’ve prepared them for you in advance for fear that you will be too tired. When you come back, you can throw away the things you don’t need anymore. Anyway, as long as you come back, you can throw everything away.” Gong Yu closed the suitcase and put it beside the sofa.

Murong Yunxi was stunned at Gong Yu’s words. What an extravagant life he lived by saying “throw things away”!

“All right, go to bed now. You need to catch the flight tomorrow.” Gong Yu pushed Murong Yunxi onto the bed, laid her down, and covered her with the quilt. Then he kissed her on her forehead and got up to take a bath.

Murong Yunxi was lying in bed for a while and couldn’t sleep. She was not used to Gong Yu being like this. Although Gong Yu always treated her well and took good care of her, he was indeed different today.

Murong Yunxi still didn’t fall asleep when Gong Yu got out of the bathroom. Gong Yu saw Murong Yunxi was staring at him with big eyes. He couldn’t help laughing. “Why? Are you waiting for me?”

Murong Yunxi immediately blushed. “No, I just can’t sleep.”

Gong Yu ignored Murong Yunxi’s response and directly got into bed. He took Murong Yunxi into his arms and said, “Then I have to do my best to satisfy you!”

“I said it’s not like that!”

In response to Murong Yunxi’s words, Gong Yu kissed her deeply, then they fell into endless affection…

The next morning, Gong Yu reluctantly took Murong Yunxi to the airport. Murong Ye specially sent Fourth and two of his men to escort Murong Yunxi to City C.

Originally, Murong Ye had planned to use a private plane to send Murong Yunxi, but she wanted to keep a low profile. She strongly refused the proposal, so Murong Ye gave up on the plan.

From City B to City C, the whole journey lasted about three hours. Murong Yunxi was sleeping all the way. Fourth sat beside her. Before going out, Murong Ye told him the importance of this trip, so he had to keep a close eye on Murong Yunxi and make no mistake.

Although Fourth was always careless, no one could match his prudence on serious business, especially when Murong Ye repeatedly warned him, he dared not underestimate the trip.

As they were approaching City C, Fourth woke up Murong Yunxi, who opened her sleepy eyes and asked vaguely, “Have we arrived yet?”

Because Murong Yunxi was so tired, she still felt drowsy. Her head accidentally leaned on Fourth’s shoulder, then he felt his shoulder get heavier and his heart seemed to miss a beat. As he turned around to wake Murong Yunxi, his chin accidentally touched Murong Yunxi’s soft black hair. He smelled the aroma of her shampoo in an instant. The fragrance surged through his heart.

Fourth coughed quietly and kept calm as usual. Then he said softly, “Xiao Xi, we’re going to get off the plane soon. Wake up!”

Murong Yunxi nodded and became totally awake in a moment. She was surprised to find that she was asleep on the shoulder of Fourth. She apologized with some embarrassment. “Sorry, I fell asleep again.”

Looking aside, Fourth pretended to be calm while he said, “Well, you should stay awake. We’ll land soon. You are so sleepy, what did you do last night?”

In fact, Fourth just said it casually, he didn’t know he spoke the truth out. Murong Yunxi instantly blushed, then she said with a little embarrassment, “Oh, I lost sleep last night. I didn’t sleep well!”

Fourth didn’t see Murong Yunxi’s reddish cheeks at the moment. They were as attractive as red apples. Murong Yunxi just felt her cheeks burning like fire. She could not help thinking of the wildness with Gong Yu last night. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole and hide in it.

Until they got off the plane, neither of them had any more communication. They had a safe journey to the hotel that had been arranged in advance.

The Murong family had villas in City C, but they were far from the downtown. Murong Yunxi felt it inconvenient, so she chose to stay in a hotel.

Fourth and the other two bodyguards stayed in the rooms to the left and right of Murong Yunxi’s. Fourth carried Murong Yunxi’s baggage to her presidential suite. After examining the room, he left the room before saying, “Miss Xi, you might need to freshen up. I have arranged lunch, and I will send it to your room in a while. After lunch, you will have a rest. We will leave at 2 p.m. and take a look at the company in City C.”

Murong Yunxi nodded and waited for Fourth to leave, then she directly fell onto the soft king-size bed.

The king-size bed in the presidential suite was really comfortable. Murong Yunxi was so sleepy that she fell asleep unconsciously.

Murong Yunxi fell asleep so fast that she forgot to draw the curtains. A sneaky figure slipped by the opposite room’s window.

It was not until the waiter delivered her lunch to the room that Murong Yunxi woke up again. She simply took a bite. After drawing the curtains and having a simple wash, she lay down in bed and fell asleep again.

The second long sleep had refreshed Murong Yunxi. In the afternoon, she went to the head office with Fourth and others. The head office sent a car for Murong Yunxi’s private use. People in the head office were full of curiosity about this new boss.

They heard that the new boss who took over the company was the sister of the former boss. The brother was very young, and he loved his sister very much. Many people thought that the new boss should be powerless, she just came from a good and rich family. However, their curiosity wasn’t diminished at all.

Murong Yunxi was accompanied by Fourth and two other people as she arrived at the head office in the afternoon. Murong Yunxi wore a black professional dress and a pair of high-heels, her makeup was also exquisite.

Although it was a branch office in City C, the Murong family built the tall office building on a lavish scale. This building was one of the top buildings in City C. Walking into the hall, people could feel its glorious and magnificent decoration.

The head of the branch had already been waiting in the lobby, and a group of senior executives was waiting with him.

As soon as Murong Yunxi walked in, people were surprised. They had imagined many versions of Murong Yunxi, but they never thought that the real Murong Yunxi would be so glamorous.

Murong Yunxi had a strong image of a businesswoman through this period’s work and practice. She radiated self-confidence and a deterrent that could not be ignored, as if she were a high queen. And her exquisite and beautiful appearance amazed everyone. They always said that pretty women had no brains and smart women weren’t beautiful. God would never give both to one person. But why did Murong Yunxi not only look pretty, but also look like a very smart woman?

Zheng Ming, the head of the branch office, saw Murong Yunxi enter through the door and he went forward to greet her. “Are you President Murong?”

When Murong Yunxi smiled blandly, the smile had a hint of deterrence and resolution. “Call me President Xi. ‘President Murong’ will be easy to confuse with my brother’s title.”

Zheng Ming nodded and introduced himself with a smile. “President Xi, I am the head of the branch office in City C. My name is Zheng Ming. If there’s anything you need from me during these days, just let me know.”

Murong Yunxi nodded and then she raised her jaw slightly. The group of people behind Zheng Ming certainly was not as smart as Zheng Ming. They just thought that Murong Yunxi was beautiful, and they didn’t take the young lady as a professional. As for her charisma, they all thought that she was just pretending, so they were even more disdainful of her. They didn’t respect her as they respected Zheng Ming!

Murong Yunxi looked around slightly, and she saw the disdain in everybody’s eyes. A glimmer of light flashed through and sank deep in her eyes.
