To avoid being discovered by others, Mu Yichen went to pick up Qin Shengyi as agreed beforehand. At that time, Xu Yanshu happened to be dropping Qin Shengyi off downstairs, and the two bumped into each other.

"This must be Mr. Xu Yanshu, right? It's a pleasure to meet you!" Mu Yichen greeted him first, extending his hand in a friendly manner.

Suppressing his discomfort, Xu Yanshu took the opportunity to shake hands briefly with the other person.

"Mr. Mu, thank you for making this trip!"

It was rare for Mu Yichen to cover for Shengyi, so logically he should thank him. However, looking at the handsome man in front of him, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Cough cough!

Looking at the two men standing together, Qin Shengyi felt inexplicably awkward.

This was all out of necessity; otherwise, she would never have had the chance to see Brother Yan Shu. For a moment, however, she couldn't quite explain why.

She waved to Xu Yanshu spontaneously, "Brother Yanshu, we'll be going now."

Xu Yanshu nodded slightly, watching the Rolls-Royce gradually disappear from sight, and felt an unprecedented sense of loss.

Even though he knew it was just a formality, he still felt a little uneasy seeing Shengyi being taken away by another man...

If he could gain the approval of Shengyi's parents, they wouldn't have gone through so much trouble just to meet him.

How long have you been dating Mr. Xu?

Qin Shengyi was still immersed in her time alone with Xu Yanshu and didn't hear Mu Yichen's question at all.

Thinking about it, she realized how easily she had been fooled, actually believing that he wanted to remarry Xie Huanyu... She couldn't help but chuckle to herself, but recalling the scene she had witnessed, she still felt a pang of jealousy.

Regardless of what Yan Shuge was thinking, she knew that Xie Huanyu had always intended to remarry. She said she was deliberately putting on an act for her, but who knows if she wanted to use this opportunity to break her up with Yan Shuge.

Thinking about it, Qin Shengyi suddenly became frustrated. She pouted in dissatisfaction, not expecting that her relationship with Yan Shu would be put to such a test.

Noticing the change in Qin Shengyi's expression out of the corner of his eye, Mu Yichen raised an eyebrow without making a sound.

I originally thought Qin Shengyi would be the kind of shy and boring obedient girl, but now she seems to be much more interesting than I imagined.

Recalling their meeting, Mu Yichen murmured thoughtfully, "He looks quite ordinary; he's not good enough for you at all!"

Qin Shengyi had just come to her senses and hadn't quite heard what the other person had said. Confused, she asked, "Huh? What were you saying?"

“I mean, it seems like you and Mr. Xu have a very good relationship,” Mu Yichen said, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face. “You two must have been dating for a long time.”

"No, we've only been together for three or four months, but we've known each other since junior high."

Thinking about it, Qin Shengyi unconsciously curled her lips. Being able to reunite with Xu Yanshu in the vast sea of ​​people after so many years, she truly felt that this was the luckiest thing in her life.

Three or four months?

Mu Yichen nodded as if he understood, then spoke meaningfully.

"If that's the case, you can't really be sure that he's the most suitable person. In that case, you might as well take a look at the people around you."

“No, although it hasn’t been long, I’m absolutely certain that Yan Shu is the only person I want to be with,” Qin Shengyi said, her brows furrowing slightly as she shook her head. “Mr. Mu, I think Zheng Yu has already told you everything he needed to say.”

“I appreciate your willingness to cooperate with me, but I can’t accept others casually commenting on and giving me advice about my relationship. I hope you can understand.”

"I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds!"

Having said that, Qin Shengyi didn't say anything more, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Although she had no prior romantic experience, that didn't mean she didn't understand what kind of relationship she wanted.

The young lady is quite principled!

Mu Yichen subtly curled his lips, his gaze towards Qin Shengyi filled with more approval, proving that not all young ladies from aristocratic families are dull and boring.

The two people in the family were unaware of the inside story and were eagerly hoping that they could really marry Miss Qin.

He was initially resistant to this, but now that he thinks about it, it doesn't seem like it's entirely impossible.

The car came to a smooth stop in front of the Ouyang residence. Qin Shengyi was about to open the door and get out when Mu Yichen called out to her.

The man handed his phone to Qin Shengyi. "Let's add each other on WeChat?"

"That's not..."

Before the other party could finish refusing, Mu Yichen explained, "We still have to keep up this act, right? Having a private contact method will make things much more convenient in the future."

It seemed that was the case. Qin Shengyi suddenly realized that since the other party had already put it that way, she couldn't refuse anymore. She immediately took out her phone and added Mu Yichen on WeChat.

"Then, Mr. Mu, I'll go in first!"

See you next time!

Watching Qin Shengyi walk into the manor, Mu Yichen casually played with his phone, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

Judging from this, I won't feel bored for a long time to come.

As if suddenly remembering something, Mu Yichen opened his phone, found the number he wanted, and dialed it.

"Hey, Young Master Zhou, aren't you done with your work yet? I've been asking you out for drinks for almost half a month now, when are you finally free!"
