When Munni got home from work, she unsurprisingly saw Xu Yisen standing at the door waiting for her. Discover more novels at novel•fire.net
"Hmm, why are you here?" Munni glanced at Yisen, then looked away to enter the password on the keypad.
His voice was gentle like a spring breeze, but it caused Munni’s hand to pause slightly while turning the doorknob.
"An ex-husband missing an ex-wife doesn’t bode well."
Yisen followed her closely into the house, disagreeing as he retorted, "I think it’s great. It shows we still have feelings for each other."
"If you consider annoyance a form of feeling, then sure, there’s some affection." Her tone was composed, but her words bluntly expressed disdain for Yisen.
Munni changed into indoor slippers at the entrance, walking gracefully towards the living room.
"Arguing shows closeness, scolding means love. Saying you’re annoyed actually means you really like it."
Munni was speechless at his shameless sophistry, so she decided to remain silent rather than quarrel with him.
Seeing the atmosphere suddenly quiet down, Yisen eagerly found a topic, "I saw Yuan Chengmo at the restaurant today."
"Hmm, you will see him often from now on."
Yisen paused, restraining the sudden wave of jealousy in his heart, "Did you introduce him to your staff?"
"Yeah, since we’ll be neighbors soon, it’s natural to give a proper introduction."
Yisen really wanted to ask... What about me, what about me, what about me!
I am a regular at the restaurant, your partner, and your ex-husband. Why don’t you introduce me to the restaurant staff?
Of course, these could only be sour thoughts kept to himself.
Munni walked into the kitchen and poured a cup of warm water, while Yisen followed her step-by-step.
After downing the water in one go, she placed the glass on the counter, glanced sideways at Yisen, "It’s late. You should head back."
"I haven’t finished speaking."
"I think... you and Yuan Chengmo, being both unmarried, should keep some distance. After all, men and women shouldn’t get too close."
He said this with noticeable lack of confidence, his gaze towards Munni also shifty.
Munni stared at him with an incredulous expression, unable to resist laughing at what he had just said.
Her pleasant chuckle slipped out from her throat, echoing in the spacious kitchen.
"If that’s the case, we should keep more distance, since the relationship post-divorce is even less straightforward."
Yisen shook his head in disagreement, "No way, divorced couples maintaining a close relationship will seem very loving."
Munni’s lips curved into a faint, ambiguous smile. Without responding to Yisen, she cleaned the water glass and walked out of the kitchen.
She felt that Yisen had been acting quite unusual since his fever yesterday. Seems it really affected his brain, she thought she might have to remind Secretary Tang to take Yisen to the hospital for a neurological check-up.
Before stepping onto the stairs to go upstairs, a thought suddenly flashed through Munni’s mind about what Yuan Chengmo had mentioned to her midday regarding Xia Yuge.
She stood on the first step of the stairs, turned around, and looked at Yisen following her.
"By the way, I heard Xia Yuge has a brother. Do you know about this?"
Her sudden question left Yisen stunned for a moment, a ripple of complex emotion quickly washed over his face, and disappeared afterward.
"Well, I’ve heard of it."
