On Christmas Day, Munni and Yuan Chengmo got up and had breakfast together. They planned to wander around Old Student Lane and then go see a movie.
However, right after breakfast, on the way to Old Student Lane, Yuan Chengmo received a call from his brother saying that there was an urgent matter at home and he needed to return.
Helplessly, the two had to cancel their original plans and drive back to G City.
After Yuan Chengmo dropped Munni home, he hurried back to his own place.
Munni returned home, put her luggage away, and made a call to Liang Jiuchen.
The phone rang for a long time. Just as Munni was about to hang up, Liang Jiuchen's voice suddenly appeared, sounding vague and confused, "Oh, sis, what's up?"
From the sound of his voice, Munni guessed that this guy must have gone out drinking too much last night.
"Are you home? I'm coming to pick up Bruce."
As the words fell, Liang Jiuchen, still lying in bed, suddenly woke up. He cleared his throat and chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, sis, that Bruce... Yisen took him away?"
Worried that Munni would be displeased by his actions, he quickly explained, "Sis, I definitely didn't intentionally fail to take good care of Bruce. It's just that you suddenly handed Bruce over to me, and I couldn't cancel the gathering, so... I had no choice."
Munni didn't blame Liang Jiuchen, after all, it was indeed her fault for not notifying him in advance, so she nodded, "Okay, I got it. I'll hang up first."
As Munni was about to hang up, Liang Jiuchen suddenly called out anxiously.
"Well... you... um... I... just..."
He stuttered for quite a while but couldn't say anything, and Munni couldn't help rolling her eyes, impatiently urging, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Liang Jiuchen took a deep breath before finally speaking the words he had held back for a long time, "Are you and Senior Cheng Mo together now?"
"Isn't that what your post on Weibo last night meant?"
Munni couldn't help rolling her eyes, "You're overthinking it, there's nothing like that."
"That's good, that's good. Yesterday at the party, people were joking about you two, saying how Senior Cheng Mo dared to hit on Yisen's ex-wife. They even said you're pretty capable, ditching Yisen's strong backing to latch onto Senior Cheng Mo's leg."
When Munni heard Liang Jiuchen's words, her expression remained calm, as if Liang Jiuchen was discussing someone else's gossip with her, not hers.
"Sis, I think... it's better to keep a low profile recently."
Munni knew Liang Jiuchen was telling her this for two reasons: one was to prepare her mentally to avoid anger if she accidentally heard someone discussing her; the second was to suggest she keep some distance from Yuan Chengmo.
Regarding Liang Jiuchen's reminder, Munni simply replied calmly, "I know what I'm doing, I'll hang up now."
After hanging up the call with Liang Jiuchen, Munni didn't contact Xu Yisen directly but instead logged onto Weibo to check the post she made yesterday while slightly drunk.
The number of reposts and comments exceeded her expectations. Most netizens were ridiculing her for having a new lover so soon after her divorce, with some even sympathizing with Xu Yisen, questioning if their marriage had ended because Munni cheated first.
Munni found it amusing that such a simple Weibo post pushed her into the spotlight again, and unsurprisingly, once more the public opinion was in favor of the outstanding Xu Yisen.
