Originally intending to avoid unnecessary trouble, she thought about simply deleting the Weibo post she made last night, but after a moment, she felt that wasn't right. If she deleted the post without any real reason, it would make her look guilty.
After a brief moment of hesitation, she decided to ignore the Weibo issue and made a phone call to Yisen.
The phone barely rang a few times before Yisen's gentle voice came through, "Yes, Munni."
"Are you at home or the office?"
"I heard from Jiuchen that Bruce is at your place? I'd like to take him home."
"Alright, then come up. The apartment number is 1701, and the password is the old password for our home."
The phrase "our home" rolled off his tongue naturally, as if it were to be expected.
Qin Muni took the elevator to the seventeenth floor. As she was about to enter the password at Yisen's door, her hand suddenly paused.
Out of politeness, she rang the doorbell.
The doorbell had barely rung when the door opened. Yisen looked down slightly at Qin Muni, who was a little shorter than him, "Why didn't you just come in?"
Qin Muni didn't directly tell Yisen her thoughts, she just said tactfully, "I was afraid it might be inconvenient for you."
A playful, roguish smile suddenly curved at the corner of Yisen's mouth. A mischievous glint spread slowly in his obsidian-like eyes as he parted his thin lips and said lightly, "We're already so comfortable with each other as a couple, what's there to be inconvenient about?"
The teasing words slid from his mouth without the slightest awkwardness.
Qin Muni had never seen this cheeky side of Yisen before, and couldn't help but stare in amazement. The next second, she flushed with embarrassment and gave Yisen a resentful, upward glance.
He didn't feel embarrassed at all; instead, he let out a low, chuckling laugh.
His laughter was very pleasant, like a sound of striking jade, containing a joyful humor that gently drifted into Qin Muni's ears, like a spring breeze creating gentle ripples across her heart.
Yisen stifled his laughter, tilted his body slightly, and invited Qin Muni inside, "Come in, Bruce is playing."
"You can just bring him out; I'll wait here for you."
Yisen glanced at her, seeing her clear refusal to come inside, he didn't press the matter. He nodded and said, "Wait a moment," before turning back into the house to Bruce's room, where Bruce was happily playing with a stuffed toy.
Soon, Yisen came back to the door cradling Bruce, gently patting Bruce's head. Bruce blinked obediently up at him.
"Looks like Bruce really likes me. Bring him around more often, I've got a room set aside for him." As he spoke, he handed Bruce over to Qin Muni.
"Okay, sure. Thank you for taking care of him for me."
Yisen nodded, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "Since you're so grateful, why not give yourself a chance to show it?"
Qin Muni couldn't help but roll her eyes, recalling the last time he asked her to treat him. She thought Yisen really had a lot of free time recently.
"What are you plotting now?" she asked in a tone full of disdain.
Her wary attitude amused Yisen, "Let's go to Purple Clouds Mountain for Christmas."
Qin Muni blinked lightly, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly as she realized Christmas hadn't passed yet.
"No, thanks. I just got back from Rongyun Town, and I'm a little tired," she shook her head, politely declining Yisen's offer.
Yisen had expected her to refuse, so he didn't seem very disappointed. He simply nodded and then shifted his strategy, "Then how about you invite me over to your place for dinner?"
