The dim streetlights filtered through the windshield and into the car, revealing every subtle expression on Xu Yisen’s face under the light.
Munni, who knew him well, discerned the truth from the slight changes in his expression—Bai Sitong was not lying to her, Xu Yisen truly disliked her because he misunderstood her as a scheming woman.
"I’m sorry, I didn’t spend enough time understanding you back then."
His apology once again made Munni burst into laughter, "Hahaha..."
In the quiet car, her laughter seemed particularly sorrowful and desolate, as if mocking her own youthful naivete and her mad infatuation with him back then.
Her laughter was like a silken rope, gradually tightening around Xu Yisen’s heart, making him nearly breathless.
His helpless call finally curbed Munni’s laughter. Perhaps she had laughed too hard just now, she clutched her faintly aching abdomen with one hand.
"Only now do I realize how foolish I was, wasting ten years chasing someone not worth loving. Xu Yisen, I truly fucking hate you!"
As she spoke, there was still a bold smile on her lips, her red evening gown reflecting the light like a rose blooming quietly in the night, alluringly beautiful.
However, the peach blossom eyes looking at Xu Yisen were as cold as the deepest icy pool.
Perhaps incited by her words and cold gaze, Xu Yisen reached out to unfasten the seatbelt, leaned in abruptly, and kissed Munni’s tender red lips without warning.
Munni did not resist. She wrapped her arms around Xu Yisen’s neck, cooperating with him submissively.
Her cooperation undoubtedly pleased Xu Yisen; his kiss was passionate and gentle, as if trying to express his feelings to Munni through actions.
It was only when Munni was about to run out of breath that she gently pushed Xu Yisen away, a faint, indifferent smile creeping onto her exquisite features.
She gazed into Xu Yisen’s peach blossom eyes, devoid of any shyness from their recent heated moment, only carrying a mischievous smirk.
In contrast, Xu Yisen’s gaze towards her was extraordinarily ardent and affectionate.
Munni slowly extended her hand, gently caressing Xu Yisen’s finely chiseled features.
"Having borne the reputation of a bad woman for so many years, if I don’t do something to truly wrong you, it would be a disservice to your initial misunderstanding of me."
Her voice was like the morning mist, soft and hazy.
Xu Yisen grasped her wrist, brought her fingers to his lips, and bit lightly, his voice hoarse and tone ambiguous as he asked, "How do you plan to wrong me?"
As he spoke, his brows arched slightly, and the deep pools of his eyes seemed to melt into a lake of spring water, impossibly soft.
"Telling you so early wouldn’t be any fun," Munni chuckled lightly and withdrew the hand he was holding.
Xu Yisen reached out and gently patted her head, dotingly saying, "As long as you’re happy, we can play however you like."
Munni disdainfully glanced at the unusually sentimental Xu Yisen, said nothing, ignored him, and turned to look out the window.
Her reaction rendered Xu Yisen speechless, yet he laughed softly, noting the rain outside had lessened slightly before pressing the accelerator and driving off again.
The incident of Munni and Xia Yuge having a conflict at the banquet exploded online. Many guests recorded or photographed Munni dousing Xia Yuge with champagne, and then uploaded the footage to Weibo or other social networks.
Many netizens speculated whether the reason for their dispute was Xu Yisen, leading to various wildly imaginative explanations on the internet.
