Mu Xichen’s kept a calm expression.
He took a step back with a silent smile and said unhurriedly, “Because I’m not on good terms with them.”
His words caused Lily’s smile to falter.
Because he wasn’t on good terms with them, it was not surprising that she was only seeing him for the first time.
However, this was too humiliating.
Lily had mentioned Mu Che and Mu Donglin, only as an excuse to get familiar with Mu Xichen.
Now that Mu Xichen’s words had crushed her intentions, her expression visibly stiffened.
When Jiang Yeqing saw this, he stepped in front of Lily and said jokingly, “This is my first time here too. Do you know me?”
Having been given an out, the woman threw him a reproachful look before placing her delicate hand on his chest, remarking, “You’re a married man and you’re trying to come onto me. Aren’t you afraid that your wife will be jealous?”
Jiang Yeqing smiled and caught her arm. He leaned towards her and replied, “Mr. Mu is married too. Aren’t you afraid that his wife will be jealous then?” He put on a regretful expression and continued, “Ultimately, you despise me.”
Lily did not expect this information and found it hard to believe.
Her gaze fell on Mu Xichen.
The young man, who continued to bear that indifferent and icy smile on his face, was now holding his wine glass on his left hand. It was not known if this was an intentional move.
On the ring finger of his left hand sat a classic man’s wedding ring.
Although Lily was rather dissolute, she had her principles.
Where married men were concerned, she avoided them as much as possible.
That was why Jiang Yeqing was daring enough to flirt with her.
Lily glared at him coquettishly and said, “Are you worried that I’ll eat him up, slippery fellow.”
The fingers holding the wine glass tapped Jiang Yeqing’s forehead, then slowly moved down. “Didn’t you have so much fun with me too back then? You got married just like that. How saddening.”
Jiang Yeqing’s smile did not change. “I have to go with the flow.”
Lily took advantage of this and with a turn of her nimble waist, quickly walked away with a humph.
After walking away from the crowd, Lily’s smile faded. She sat down opposite Mu Donglin and went straight to the point. “Your brother is married?”
Mu Donglin was surprised and quickly shook his head. “No.”
“He said he’s married and even has a ring on his finger.” Lily looked at him coquettishly. “Which one of you is lying to me?”
Lily was very pretty and had a strong personality. Although she enjoyed flirting around, there were many who were willing to succumb to her because of her charm.
Mu Donglin, too, was attracted to her. He replied faintly, “I don’t have to lie to you.”
That meant that Mu Xichen was lying to her.
The woman sneered, “Your brother is not as interesting as you.”
“That’s true.”
“I heard you’re getting married?” Lily stood up and hooked her arms around his back. “I haven’t tried you yet. Are you free tonight?”
Mu Donglin chuckled and with a quick movement tilted her back and pinned her onto the table.
Lily was startled but quickly returned to her flirtatious self. She raised her leg and placed it on his neck. “Don’t be in such a hurry.”
Mu Donglin looked at her and smiled gently. He whispered, “I’m sorry, I promised my fiancèe that I would accompany her for dinner at home.”
Then, he stood up, buttoned his suit jacket, and strode away.
Even after he had walked away, the smell of the woman’s vulgar perfume and cosmetics lingered around him. It was disgusting!
