On the top floor of the Qianxiao Commercial Center, in a beautifully decorated Black Swan Western restaurant, Mu Liuyun leaned against the window, staring straight ahead, a straw between her lips, sipping her black tea from a glass.
With their abilities, Chu Yaqin and Shen Lanxin could have easily sat in the private room. However, the room only had a large round table, so they couldn't sit close to Mu Liuyun.
So, under the horrified gazes of everyone in the restaurant, they led Mu Liuyun to a seat by the window and squeezed her into the middle.
Black Swan is a members-only restaurant, and most of its patrons are regulars from the Qianxiao Square area. Even if they don't know Chu Yaqin, they know Shen Lanxin, one of the owners behind Qianxiao Square. So, after glancing at Mu Liuyun a few times and being amazed by her beauty, they turned their faces away.
At this moment, Mu Liuyun had a jade hand on each of her shoulders, and the one on her right was a little restless, secretly scratching with its finger.
"President Chu, could you please not get so close to Xiaoyun?"
"Mr. Shen, didn't you see your secretary seemed a little uncomfortable?"
The two men kept talking about Mu Liuyun, but neither of them looked at her.
At this moment, Mu Liuyun felt as if her whole body was covered in thorns, and the toes on her little black feet were digging fiercely into the slippers that Shen Lanxin had bought.
Mu Liuyun really couldn't understand the current situation; the two women's boldness left him somewhat at a loss.
Why is Chu Yaqin here? Why are these two women so hostile? Why are they grabbing my shoulders?
When can I go home?
That's not right. I didn't do anything wrong, so why do I have to suffer like this?
I, Mu Liuyun, have acted uprightly, and my shadow is short!
Just as he was about to push their hands away, Chu Yaqin suddenly leaned close and whispered in his ear, "Secretary, where did you meet President Shen? Why didn't you tell me?"
Chu Yaqin's blowing made Mu Liuyun's ears itch, but he couldn't reach out to scratch them because Chu Yaqin was too close, and any movement of his right hand would touch the large slime.
But where did you meet? This question caught Mu Liuyun off guard; he really couldn't remember: "I think it was at a bar?"
If Mu Liuyun remembered correctly, she went to deliver a takeout order to the bar, but it just so happened that she delivered it to the room where Shen Lanxin was.
After Mu Liuyun finished speaking, Shen Lanxin, who was standing next to her, showed a happy expression.
He still remembers!
Indeed, how could anyone forget the scene of their first meeting with someone they like?
Then, Shen Lanxin looked at Chu Yaqin, who was pressed against Mu Liuyun, and frowned, especially when her gaze swept over that useless piece of fat.
She didn't have the means, nor could she do what Chu Yaqin did—breathing into Mu Liuyun's ear.
However, she also has her own pride.
So, Shen Lanxin pressed her body against Mu Liuyun's, her right leg under her white dress rubbing against Mu Liuyun's left leg, and then she grabbed Mu Liuyun's left hand: "Yes."
The events of that day kept replaying in her mind.
That day was originally the third anniversary of Gu Nan's elopement.
Actually, Shen Lanxin didn't feel anything about this matter at first, at most she felt insulted, but under Shen Jing's encouragement, they would go to the bar to drink together every day on this day.
Only Shen Jing could come up with the idea of setting an anniversary for such a day.
That day, they went to the bar as usual and ordered some beer and fruit wine. As they drank, Shen Jing, who was getting tipsy, suddenly said that she wanted to eat stinky tofu, the kind she absolutely wanted to eat.
Shen Lanxin inexplicably ordered takeout, and then Mu Liuyun, dressed in a yellow robe, arrived.
Under the influence of alcohol, the moment Shen Lanxin saw Mu Liuyun, she felt her heart race and her blood run cold.
A surge of emotion welled up within me, a desire to make that lovely yet strong face shed tears because of her.
At the time, Shen Lanxin was conflicted about these feelings. Judging from her father Shen Lihong's style, this emotion was called love.
But if she falls in love with Mu Liuyun, a man who looks just like Lin Jianglu, wouldn't that mean she's not angry that Gu Nan ran away from his marriage while chasing after his white moonlight? She's just angry that the person his white moonlight took away wasn't her.
However, Shen Lanxin was certain that while she didn't harbor much hatred towards Lin Jianglu, she certainly didn't like her either. Therefore, for a long time, Shen Lanxin only focused on the pleasure she felt while playing with Mu Liuyun in the reward room, without considering the underlying emotional changes.
It wasn't until Gu Nan returned that Shen Lanxin finally saw herself clearly.
Thinking of this, Shen Lanxin looked at Mu Liuyun with sparkling eyes, which, combined with her aloof face, made her look unusually cute.
Mu Liuyun's hands were being tightly gripped, and her legs were being squeezed to the side, leaving her sitting in a very contorted position. However, Shen Lanxin was completely oblivious and continued to look at Mu Liuyun like a little deer.
"Lan Xin..."
Just as she was about to speak, Mu Liuyun felt her right shoulder being gripped tightly, and her right leg being squeezed in. She forced herself to turn her head and saw Chu Yaqin, a dangerous smile on her face, squinting at Shen Lanxin.
"Mr. Shen, would you like to know how my secretary and I met?"
After hearing Mu Liuyun's words, Chu Yaqin was no longer curious about how the two met. After all, she knew about her poor little girl who used to have to go to school during the day and deliver food at night to make a living.
Chu Yaqin, who originally had no intention of talking about what had happened between her and Mu Liuyun, felt that if she didn't speak up, she would lose. Seeing that Shen Lanxin and Mu Liuyun were exchanging glances, she realized that she would lose.
Although she didn't know where she went wrong, she couldn't give up!
"I don't want to. Xiaoyun calls you President Chu, and you call him your secretary. Isn't that obvious?"
Shen Lanxin shook her head. She didn't care that Mu Liuyun worked at the Chu Family Group because she trusted Mu Liuyun, and she also trusted herself because she trusted Mu Liuyun.
They were mutually in love, so Chu Yaqin had no right to speak.
The only thing she cared about was that Mu Liuyun hadn't told her that he worked at the Chu family group.
"you!"
Suddenly, Chu Yaqin, who had previously felt she had everything under control, began to grit her teeth. As a woman herself, she naturally understood what Shen Lanxin was thinking.
Shen Lanxin's confidence made her very unhappy.
As the successor of the Chu family, she naturally couldn't fight with Shen Lanxin in public, so she could only focus on Mu Liuyun.
So, Chu Yaqin leaned forward and smiled charmingly: "Secretary, after dinner, can you come to my house today? I really want to eat your cooking."
Mu Liuyun: What has blinded me?
Mu Liuyun had already drunk several cups of black tea. Apart from his legs being squeezed together and unable to move, and some pain in his shoulders, he had originally planned to keep a low profile and wait for an opportunity to escape.
As the conversation continued, the two women kept looking at him, which annoyed him. He said irritably, "If you want to eat, then eat. I'll bring it to you next Monday, okay?"
Even though it was just a perfunctory tone, Chu Yaqin's face showed delight, and she raised her eyebrows at Shen Lanxin triumphantly.
Upon hearing this, Shen Lanxin felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy, as if her world had collapsed. The woman, who always wore an indifferent expression, looked at Mu Liuyun with a pitiful gaze: "She...she's lying to me, right, Xiao...Xiaoyun?"
"Hello, your fried rice has arrived."
The waiter brought out the fried rice that Chu Yaqin had ordered. For these truly wealthy people, the Black Swan restaurant should have whatever they want on the menu, regardless of whether it's Chinese or Western food.
Chu Yaqin glanced at the fried rice she had ordered, then at Mu Liuyun sipping her black tea, smiled at Shen Lanxin, and said, "Oh dear, little secretary, last time I fed you, shouldn't you feed me this time?"
"I'll feed you, and you'll feed me?"
Chu Yaqin's words struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving Shen Lanxin feeling utterly devastated once again.
Especially when she saw Chu Yaqin hand the spoon to Mu Liuyun, Shen Lanxin could no longer bear it. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Waiter, bring me a dish right now! Any dish will do!"
If I keep waiting for my fried noodles, they'll probably get cold by the time I finish eating them.
Just as Shen Lanxin stood up and shouted, a dark-skinned young man in white socks walked in through the entrance of Black Swan, with his arm around a scantily clad woman.
He heard a shout as soon as he entered the room, and looking in the direction of the sound, he couldn't help but shout out.
"Holy crap, Mu Liuyun!"
