"It's not far. I can take you there after this is over. Just tell your family we'll have dinner together."
Judging from the tone, if I give a negative answer, the other party will definitely refuse without hesitation, so for now I can only settle for second best.
This left Mu Yichen feeling somewhat embarrassed, and for a moment he was unsure whether it was the right thing to do to agree to help Jiang Zhengyu.
But I have absolutely no desire to attend any concerts...
Qin Shengyi arrived but didn't actually say what she meant. She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
That Xu Yanshu is actually the Zhou family's biological son!
Recalling what he had learned from Zhou Zehao, Mu Yichen narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, unconsciously tightening his grip on the steering wheel.
He thought he had a 90% chance of winning against Xu Yanshu, a poor boy with no background, but he never expected that the other party was a hidden master.
With their destination within reach, Mu Yichen broke the silence once again.
"Shengyi, if you hadn't met Xu Yanshu, is it possible that you would have fallen for me?"
ah?
Completely surprised by the question, Qin Shengyi was stunned. Wasn't the plan to cover for each other? Why did this question sound like he liked her?
This reaction immediately gave Mu Yichen a plan. To avoid embarrassment, he awkwardly waved his hand and then tried to explain, "Don't take it seriously, I was just saying..."
Sensing that the other person wasn't just joking, Qin Shengyi felt it necessary to clarify things. After a brief and serious reply, he began to speak.
"I've never liked making assumptions about what's already happened, especially when it comes to relationships, so I can't answer that question!"
“I appreciate you taking the time to help me with this, but all our interactions are just an act for each other’s parents. I hope you understand that, Mr. Mu.”
Seeing that Xie Huanyu was about to start bothering Yan Shu again, there absolutely couldn't be any more misunderstandings under these circumstances, otherwise it would be really difficult for her and Yan Shu to be together properly.
Seeing the girl's serious expression, Mu Yichen felt a little disappointed, but at the same time, he couldn't help but be attracted to her.
Judging from this attitude, I really can't be too hasty if I want to win over Qin Shengyi.
"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous. I promise this situation will never happen again."
Qin Shengyi didn't intend to make a fuss. He nodded knowingly, opened the car door, and got out.
Back in her office, she recalled the situation and frowned uneasily.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Shengyi took the initiative to call Jiang Zhengyu.
"Brother, are you sure you really cleared things up with Mu Yichen? I have a feeling he really sees me as a blind date?"
“I’ve definitely made things clear. Are you overthinking it? This guy is quite the playboy; he’s never participated in blind dates before.”
"If he hadn't owed me a favor, he would never have agreed to help me. What, did he try to lay a hand on you?"
Maybe I'm just overthinking it!
Qin Shengyi sighed inwardly and muttered to himself, "Maybe I'm just too nervous because of Xie Huanyu!"
"Xie Huanyu? That woman is causing you trouble again?"
