"Really?" The man’s thin lips approached the tip of her nose, his deep voice reaching Lin Yixun’s ears, "Then I won’t be polite."
"Stop wasting time, just do it!" Lin Yixun closed her eyes, forcing herself to stay calm.
Suddenly, the man lifted her chin and commanded in a deep voice, "Look at me!"
Lin Yixun was forced to turn her face, lifting her eyes to look at the man in front of her. Under the dim yellow light, the man’s features were exceptionally sharp, and her reflection could be seen in his dark eyes. There was something in his eyes that she couldn’t describe, but Lin Yixun had no interest in exploring what it was.
The two of them locked eyes, their breaths intermingling. They were so close that they could clearly see the slightest fluctuation on each other’s faces. On Lin Yixun’s face, Leng Yixiu still saw coldness and indifference. Her eyes no longer held the infatuation and fervor from five years ago.
The man’s gaze gradually dimmed. Suddenly, he rolled off her and lay beside her, murmuring lowly, "Lin Yixun, am I no longer even a little bit in your heart?"
The man’s sudden question made Lin Yixun’s heart quiver slightly. She didn’t understand the purpose of his words but mockingly opened her mouth, "Why do you ask when you already know the answer?"
The man fell silent instantly. After a long time, Lin Yixun vaguely heard the man’s sigh, "Indeed, knowing the answer, why ask again?"
After returning to T City, Ouyang Hao did not go directly to find Lin Yixun but went to see Mu Chen. When Mu Chen saw Ouyang Hao, he knew it wouldn’t be good news.
"Hey, didn’t you go back to the capital to celebrate your old man’s birthday? Why are you back so soon?"
Seeing Ouyang Hao’s cold face, Mu Chen tentatively asked, "Did you fall out with your family again?"
As soon as his family was mentioned, Ouyang Hao’s face looked even worse.
Mu Chen saw this and knew he had guessed right. "Last time you fell out with your family, it was because of Lin Yixun. What is it this time? Don’t tell me it’s about that woman again?"
As Ouyang Hao’s close buddy, Mu Chen was just like a worm in Ouyang Hao’s gut, guessing everything right.
Ouyang Hao spoke gloomily, "You’re something, why don’t you set up a fortune-telling stall on the street?"
"Setting up a stall is too degrading. Besides, I’m only good at guessing your stuff, not necessarily anyone else’s." After some joking around, Mu Chen got serious, "So, what brings you to me this time?"
"I want you to help me investigate something."
"Help me find out what my brother did to Lin Yixun’s father recently?"
"You mean, your brother went after Lin Yixun’s father? So, that’s why Lin Yixun left you? Damn! Your brother really went for the jugular. But if it were me, I’d also start with Lin Yixun’s family."
"Should I be grateful you’re not my brother?" Ouyang Hao narrowed his eyes dangerously. The most update n0vels are published on noᴠelfire.net
"No need to be grateful. But if I were your brother, I might have been a help, pushing you and Lin Yixun together. However, what’s the point of investigating this now? Your sweetheart has rekindled things with her ex-husband, hasn’t she?"
As soon as he said this, Mu Chen realized he had misspoken and quickly explained, "I mean, isn’t Lin Yixun with Leng Yixiu now? To my knowledge, she used to be crazily infatuated with Leng Yixiu. Even if you clear the obstacles from your family, you can’t just snatch her away from Leng Yixiu, right?"
