She did not reply but looked towards Qiao Yu who sat next to her with a composed expression. So he knew this man came to look for her. Why did she always feel as if he had arranged everything?
Seeing that Xia Ning was silent, Mu Zichen thought that she knew something. So he started to beg her in a crying voice, “Sister-in-law, you must help me.”
Xia Ning was left speechless. As a man with a high EQ, he seemed more affable than other people. Looking at Mu Zichen, Xia Ning said lightly, “Mr. Mu, please be direct.” She hoped that he would stop calling her sister-in-law, which made her shudder.
Next to Mu Zichen, Gao Yang also looked at him in disgust. Mu Zichen was really a brave man to be bent on his purpose at all costs.
Mu Zichen did not hide it and directly said, “Sister-in-law, you know Wen Yue has been with me. But recently, I cannot contact her. Have you stayed in touch with her lately?”
Wen Yue? Xia Ning looked at Mu Zichen in doubt, “What’s the matter with you guys?”
“There was just a slight misunderstanding between Wen Yue and me, and she disappeared after that.”
A misunderstanding?! Xia Ning looked at Mu Zichen suspiciously. When she saw Wen Yue last time, didn’t Wen Yue still have a good relationship with him?
“I have not contacted Wen Yue recently. However, can you tell me what the misunderstanding is?” Xia Ning asked. After a pause, she added, “Wen Yue is not a capricious girl.”
She implied that he must be the wrong party.
Feeling embarrassed, Mu Zichen kept quiet for a long while.
Xia Ning frowned at him, “Mr. Mu, if you find it inconvenient to tell me, I won’t put pressure on you. But I won’t offer you help either.”
“No, I will tell you!” Mu Zichen said at once. Wen Yue was almost driving him crazy by being out of touch with him as if she disappeared overnight.
Without a word, Xia Ning sat down to listen to him carefully.
“I chatted a little longer with a female acquaintance in a pub. Wen Yue happened to see this. And then she got angry.” Mu Zichen said after thinking for a while.
Xia Ning glanced at Mu Zichen with a smile, “It seems that it is Wen Yue who has wronged you. Since that is the case, Mr. Mu, why are you still looking for her? Don’t people say that capricious women are bothersome? Mr. Mu, you are so handsome and cool. There must be a considerate woman who wants to be your girlfriend.”
Beside them, Gao Yang was really worried about Mu Zichen as he heard their conversation. Mu Zichen might be able to fool other people, but it was Xia Ning that he was fooling. The two’s IQ was not even at the same level.
“You can’t say it like this.” Mu Zichen smiled dryly. He glanced at Qiao Yu beside him, obviously indicating that Qiao Yu should say some nice words to help him.
Qiao Yu seemed to ignore Mu Zichen’s gaze. He said to Xia Ning, “What do you want to have for dinner?”
Looking at Qiao Yu, Xia Ning said tentatively, “You’re cooking?”
“Yes!” Qiao Yu nodded.
Xia Ning grew quiet. Did he come back so early in order to cook for her?!
Mu Zichen and Gao Yang abruptly saw the public display of affection. Are the couple ignoring their existence?!
If Wen Yue was with him, Mu Zichen would absolutely give more public displays of affection. Mu Zichen looked at Xia Ning as he said frankly, “Actually, Wen Yue saw me chatting with a girl. She happened to see us kiss. She left immediately. I could not get in touch with her after that. But I swear that it was not I who wanted to kiss that girl. It was she who took the initiative and stuck to me.”
Xia Ning turned her gaze towards Mu Zichen opposite her and smiled suddenly, “Then I should congratulate Mr. Mu on the acquisition of another woman, a new girlfriend.”
