She hastily changed the subject, "Ah, I’m so hungry. Fujino, you should cook."
Fujino Doxu raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "Hmm, okay, it’s almost time."
"What’s almost time?"
As soon as Munni’s voice fell, the sound of the doorbell rang in her ears.
"Did you order takeout?"
As she spoke, she stood up and walked to the door to open it.
However, the smile on her face couldn’t help but turn to a hint of surprise when she saw Xu Yisen standing outside the door.
"Yisen, what are you doing here?"
"Didn’t you say you wanted hot pot and sashimi? I brought the ingredients."
Before Munni could react, a figure suddenly darted from behind her and took the bag of ingredients from Xu Yisen’s hands, "Ah, you came at the right time."
With both hands now empty, Xu Yisen looked towards Fujino Doxu, who had already turned and rushed into the kitchen, and asked, "Why is Mr. Fujino here?"
"To scrounge a meal."
"That wasn’t your post on Moments?"
Xu Yisen shook his head, knowing he’d been set up by Fujino Doxu, "Never mind, let’s go in."
When they returned to the living room, Fujino Doxu had already put on an apron and was busy in the kitchen. Munni went in and asked, "Fujino, need any help?"
But Fujino ruthlessly refused, "Don’t make trouble, just wait in the living room."
"Oh." Munni pouted, returning to the living room, and saw Xu Yisen flipping through TV channels with the remote.
"While attending her uncle’s great-grandson’s full-month banquet, Bai Wan Yun, the chairman of Fanshu Group’s mother, was interviewed by reporters and openly declared her support for Chairman Xu’s pursuit of his ex-wife Munni.
When asked if Chairman Xu was dating supermodel Xia Yuge, she replied she wasn’t aware, subtly denying the rumors of the two being together.
That afternoon, when Xia Yuge attended a variety show and was asked by reporters about her rumors with Chairman Xu, she laughed and said she and Chairman Xu were just good friends, and the online news was just baseless rumors."
Munni picked up an apple from the coffee table, took a bite, and said, "We’re divorced now. Aren’t you going to give Xia Yuge a chance?"
Xu Yisen continued flipping through channels, not looking at Munni, but replied with a slightly awkward tone, "What, do you want me to give her a chance?"
Almost without hesitation, Munni shook her head and responded, "No. You know I don’t like Xia Yuge, and anything that makes her happy, I don’t want to happen."
"That’s typical of Munni’s domineering tone."
"Seems these eleven years weren’t wasted; at least you understand me a little."
Xu Yisen shifted slightly closer to Munni, almost pressing against her.
He lowered his head, whispering softly in her ear, "I understand you more than you think."
His tone was unusually ambiguous, and as he spoke, the warm breath brushed past her ear like a silken ribbon—tickling, with a faint fresh scent.
Munni caught a glimpse of his lips curling into an inexplicable smile, and her alabaster face suddenly flushed with a thin layer of redness.
Realizing the atmosphere had become a bit subtle, she hurriedly stood up, finding an excuse to escape, "I’ll go see how Fujino’s doing with dinner."
But just as she stood up, Xu Yisen quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist, gently pulling her into his embrace.
