Xu Muyun is a meticulous person; he certainly wouldn’t make wild guesses, but now, looking at Sheng Jianan’s expression, he didn’t say anything more.
Xu Muyun is different from Zhou Chengze. Wherever Zhou Chengze is, there is usually no awkward silence, but now Sheng Jianan didn’t speak, and Xu Muyun also remained silent.
The bar was cleared by Sheng Jianan. Seeing that they didn’t order more drinks, the bartender retreated to the lounge area, leaving only Sheng Jianan and Xu Muyun in the vast space.
After a long while, just as a bottle of whiskey was about to run out, Sheng Jianan suddenly spoke: "Ah Yun, how did you and Miss Lin make it work?"
The story of Xu Muyun and Lin Duo is no secret in their circle, but most people only know the basics. Xu Muyun is the only son of the Xu Family, and his parents are quite renowned internationally, while Lin Duo is just an ordinary girl from a regular family.
Their relationship started as a young romance that nobody approved of. High school sweethearts come together quickly and part just as fast. Xu Muyun was a year ahead of Lin Duo, and naturally, after he graduated, they split up. But somehow, they found their way back together and even walked down the aisle.
Now, what Sheng Jianan asked was why, after breaking up, they ended up back together in the end?
Perhaps recalling the past, Xu Muyun’s face showed a trace of tenderness different from his usual demeanor. He squinted his eyes, stayed silent for a few seconds, then smiled: "What’s so strange about it? I like her, and she still likes me, so we naturally got back together."
Sheng Jianan frowned: "If I’m not mistaken, Miss Lin was the one who decisively dumped you back then."
"Women, they’re always creatures who say one thing and mean another. Besides, I can’t bear to see her with other men. If I can’t bear it, of course, I won’t let her stay with those people. Besides, how can those men bring her happiness?"
Xu Muyun’s words caused Sheng Jianan’s drinking motion to pause, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.
Can’t bear to see her with other men? Yeah, he just couldn’t bear it!
Thinking of the way Tang Yanqi was with Lu Qilin, thinking of her soft hair being gently stroked by another man, thinking of her smiling brightly at him, and the way she dressed up beautifully—all of these were scenes that Sheng Jianan couldn’t stand.
Xu Muyun’s words were like a sharp axe, splitting open the cloud of gloom hovering over Sheng Jianan’s head. Yes, if he couldn’t bear it, why let those random guys surround that woman?
A gleam of light flashed in Sheng Jianan’s eyes. He stood up and patted Xu Muyun on the shoulder: "Brother, thanks."
Watching Sheng Jianan’s departing silhouette, Xu Muyun’s logically meticulous mind began to analyze, only to find that he couldn’t make any sense of it.
Sheng Jianan left the bar and casually called a car to return to his villa. He might have been depressed all day, but now he was in a great mood.
When he was with Tang Yanqi, he never knew what reason he had to stop her from meeting those random men. Now he knew. Young Master Sheng was unhappy, and that was reason enough!
Looking at the night outside the car window, a strange smile appeared in Sheng Jianan’s eyes. He took out his phone and dialed Qiao Zi’s number: "Get in touch with K University, I need a favor."
