As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black ran away in a flash.

Mu Nanxun's face was incredibly gloomy. He glared at Ouyang, who was grinning smugly in the restaurant, and said, "What are you laughing at? Hurry up and help me carry her inside!"

Ouyang would be more than happy to do something like this.

However, it's unclear whether Ouyang took the wrong medicine today, as he actually acted like an innocent young man and refused, saying, "I'm not a casual person. That's your own fiancée, or rather, your ex-fiancée. You should bring her in yourself."

Mu Nanxun: "..." Well, you're not a casual person, but when you get casual, you're inhuman. Ouyang, who changes girlfriends every few days and whose scandals are everywhere, has the nerve to say something like this? He must have taken the wrong medicine!

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up." Mu Nanxun's patience was running out.

Ouyang was completely unfazed by his threats. "I am your honored guest. Is this how you treat your guests?"

Mu Nanxun: "..."

Seeing that the two men were getting serious and neither was willing to give in, Mu Wenya had no choice but to step in and smooth things over, "Uncle Zhang, help Miss Xia to her room to rest, and call a doctor to come and give Miss Xia a proper check-up."

Uncle Zhang nodded respectfully, "Yes, Miss."

Just as Uncle Zhang was about to take Xia Bingqing from Mu Nanxun, she shook her head and opened her eyes groggily.

"Brother Xun, I feel much better. There's no need to call the doctor. By the way, isn't it time to eat? Let's eat."

"..."

At the dinner table, Ouyang was the most talkative. He chatted about everything from embarrassing childhood stories with Mu Nanxun to the strange tales and local customs he had encountered during his years away from home. Especially after a few drinks, once he started talking, he couldn't stop.

Most of the time, Mu Wenya would just smile and look at him, occasionally putting some food into her own bowl and eating something.

Mu Nanxun had no appetite for food or conversation, occasionally humming in response to Ouyang.

"Nanxun, eat first, don't think too much. Yi Yi isn't such a petty girl. Once she calms down, talk to her properly and explain things to her. She'll understand."

Seeing that Mu Nanxun was depressed and didn't speak, Mu Wenya knew that it was because of Yi Yi, so she took advantage of Ouyang's silence to comfort him.

"Brother Xun, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I hadn't suddenly felt unwell, I wouldn't have leaned on you, and Yi Yi wouldn't have misunderstood. It's all my fault. Here's what I'll do, Brother Xun, I'll go apologize to Yi Yi and tell her that there's nothing between us." Xia Bingqing's eyes were filled with tears as she spoke, trying to get up from the dining chair, but her body swayed and she seemed unable to get up for a long time.

"Forget it, let's finish eating first. This isn't something that can be rushed." Mu Wenya glared at the silent Mu Nanxun and pulled Xia Bingqing to sit down.

Before Mu Nanxun could say anything, Ouyang, slightly tipsy, blurted out, "Wenya... Sister Wenya... don't... don't mind him. His awkwardness... he'll have to suffer a bit before he... gets out of being single. I reckon he hasn't... officially confessed to Xiao Mihu yet, so this... this task is... a long way to go, hehe..."

“Ouyang, if you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute. You’re quite enthusiastic about talking about me, but aren’t you also hiding your own feelings and afraid to speak them out?”
