Mu Siyin burst out into laughter when she heard this. “I don’t care what other people think. What matters is what I think.”
Ji Yang finally understood something.
“You think he’s nice because he treats you nice.”
Mu Siyin raised an eyebrow and said, “Is he such a bad person? He’s someone with his own principles. As long as you don’t mess with him, he won’t show the violent side of him.”
Mu Siyin had seen every side of Shi Beiyu. Although she had been scarred in her past life, this life… She would fancy him no matter how he was.
Ji Yang sighed helplessly. “Okay, okay. As long as he treats you well.”
Mu Siyin and Ji Yang continued eating as they chatted. It only took a while before they devoured the entire tray of dishes.
“I’m so full! My cravings are satisfied now!” Mu Siyin put down her chopsticks and pulled a few tissues to clean her mouth.
Ji Yang gazed at her. “Even a foodie would eat less than you.”
Mu Siyin smiled. “But you ate more than me.”
Ji Yang was speechless. “Fine, fine. You win.”
Mu Siyin grunted as she stood up from her seat. “What do you mean I win? I’m just speaking the truth!”
“Let’s go, princess.”
Mu Siyin glanced at the time. It was 9:00 p.m.
She did not feel like going to the villa tonight, so maybe she should go back to the Mu family instead.
Mu Siyin and Ji Yang wanted to call a cab from the side of the road, but a car stopped in front of them the moment they stood still.
Mu Siyin was dumbfounded. Why was Mr. Bodyguard still here?
Didn’t she tell him to go home?
The window rolled down, and the familiar monotone voice said, “Please get in, Miss Mu.”
Ji Yang snorted and gaped at the speechless Mu Siyin. “You have a chauffeur. Not bad, eh?”
Mu Siyin looked at her speechlessly. “Okay, okay. Stop being so sarcastic.”
“You should head back then. Bye!” Ji Yang waved at her.
However, Mu Siyin said, “Get in. I’ll give you a ride.”
“It’s fine. I can call a cab. It won’t take too long.”
“Get in, get in. Why are you being so polite?”
Mu Siyin then pulled Ji Yang into the car. Once they had sent Ji Yang back, the bodyguard was just planning to send Mu Siyin to the villa when Mu Siyin suddenly said, “I already told your Young Master about going to Mu family.”
Mu Siyin thought that the bodyguard would ask her to double-confirm with Shi Beiyu, but he unexpectedly nodded his head readily. “Sure, Miss Mu.”
When they arrived at the Mu family, Mu Siyin thanked the man and headed towards the building.
The bodyguard remained in the same spot until he saw Mu Siyin enter the building. Then, he took out his phone to give Shi Beiyu a report. “Young Master, Miss Mu has arrived at the Mu family safely.”
Shi Beiyu, who was already back at the villa, paused for a moment. He gave a faint acknowledgment before he hung up the phone.
Shi Beiyu stood next to the window with a cold and restrained presence.
He knitted his brows as he lit up a cigarette between his fingers. Lifting his head, he looked into the dark sky as Mu Siyin’s smile filled up his mind. It had always been her.
On the other hand, Mu Siyin had just walked through the door when she heard Mu Xingyu’s voice.
“We have been friends with the Gu family for a long time now, Dad, Grandma. We should help them out of this sudden financial crisis.”
“You know about the company’s condition, Xingyu. How can we let the Gu family drag us down when we’ve just stabilized for two days? Moreover, weren’t they sitting on the sidelines when we needed them most?”
Mu Xingyu frowned at Mu Heyuan’s words. “That was because of what happened with Mu Siyin, and Gu Corporation took a huge blow too. Could you blame them?”
