“Come, let’s beat him up!”
The men raised their fists and started walking towards the common enemy.
Mu Xichen could only widen his grin in response to their envious aggression. He walked towards them and then sat down on the sofa.
Not feeling the least bit threatened, his actions were natural and fluid.
The men were flabbergasted and stared at him in disbelief. They were especially stunned by his rare smile.
Bai Yuan found him intolerable and exclaimed, “F***! Look at that coquettish smirk!”
“Boss, I think you ought to restrain yourself a little.” Gu Mingye warned him seriously. “Many of us are singletons, be careful of getting yourself beaten up!”
“Brother, I can’t watch this anymore. Take care!”
Everyone chimed in with their own complaints.
“We’ve been busy all morning, and you callously put us singletons through this torture. Show some love, for heaven’s sake…” Yang Dawu lamented. However, he suddenly changed his tune when he saw Mu Xichen draw out a stack of red packets from his pocket. “However, I’m sure you and Sister-in-law will live happily ever after and be blessed with little ones very soon!”
Gu Mingye remarked with disdain, “Brown-noser.”
Immediately after he said this, his own girlfriend came groveling up, saying loudly, “Big brother, you’re so dashing!”
Mu Xichen held out a red packet to her with a wide smile. Mo Shengyun laughed happily and exclaimed, “Thank you, big brother. Wishing you a happy and eternally blissful marriage, and may you be blessed with little ones very soon! Muacks!”
Gu Mingye was speechless.
The sharp-eyed Bai Yuan quickly continued, “With Sister-in-law’s good looks and Boss’ superior genes, I wonder whom the little ones will take after in the future?”
When he caught Mu Xichen about to hold out a red packet, he immediately stepped up with a grin. On feeling the thickness of the red packet, his grin widened and grew even more radiant. “How extremely generous!” he said aloud.
“Of course the kid will take after Boss. Look at Boss’s fine physique and carriage, of course his seeds will be extremely strong!” Fan Lei gave a thumbs-up sign.
“It doesn’t matter whom the child takes after, he will look stunning for sure. Look at his parents here. Sister-in-law is fair-skinned, radiant, and vivacious like a goddess. Next to the boss…” Ma Lin clasped his hands together and turned towards them. “Aren’t they just a perfect match made in heaven!”
The men started to make comic gestures and remarks, focusing on saying everything good and flattering. Eventually, almost everyone got a red packet, to their great satisfaction.
Finally, there was only Gu Mingye left. Mu Xichen shot him a sidelong glance, then looked away lazily, asking at the same time, “Have you completed your push-ups?”
Gu Mingye replied with a serious expression, “Boss, I do love you deeply, so I’ve used the time meant for the push-ups to prepare you a gift.”
As he said this, he headed towards the doorway, waited for around 3 minutes, then walked back again.
In his hands sat a colorful box. The box was quite large—there were five boxes in all, stacked up and bound with a colorful ribbon in a butterfly knot.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
“Awesome!”
“Impressive, you’re too evil. What will they do with all this!”
“Shengyun, you’d better be careful. This guy is too dangerous!”
Gu Mingye held out the boxes of family planning supplies and said, “When I saw Sister-in-law this morning, she looked like she was about to take a pill. But she ran away when she caught sight of me. I’ve heard that the pill is bad for a woman’s health, so you’d better have some of these on hand.”
Slightly taken by surprise, Mu Xichen was only just reminded of the issue of birth control.
