It was a defiant look in his eyes, made without any attempt to hide it.
Ning Ruo stared blankly at Mu Qian, who walked out from behind Long Jingyan. This was something she had not expected.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
In an instant, Ning Ruo looked away, avoiding eye contact with Mu Qian.
"No one is unwelcome, so I'll sit here."
Mu Qian strode over and sat down directly next to Ning Ruo.
A faint smile still lingered at the corners of his mouth, carrying a hint of provocation.
After Mu Qian took her seat, Long Jingyan sat down next to her, with Tang Zhou sitting next to her.
Within one minute, Ning Ruo's inner world underwent a series of changes.
Apart from a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, her facial expression remained remarkably natural.
The awkwardness in the air was impossible to hide.
Tang Zhou also clearly sensed that the atmosphere was developing in a strange direction, so he stepped in to smooth things over, "Ayan, Mu Qian is coming over for dinner, why didn't you let us know in advance?"
Although he tried to smooth things over, a hint of ambition crept into his eyes.
He had been back in the country for several days, but Long Jingyan didn't give him any chance to contact Mu Qian, fearing that he would find an opportunity to steal her away.
Now it's great, they've brought the person directly.
This is a rare opportunity; how could I not take advantage of it?
"Yes, Jingyan."
Ning Ruo still didn't dare to call Long Jingyan "Ayan" affectionately in front of him. "If you're bringing someone over, you should have told us in advance."
"You're being so sudden... Don't go back and slight them."
Her tone betrayed a hint of jealousy, and a touch of self-importance as the lady of the house.
Although he acted calmly and gracefully in every move.
God knows, she was already feeling extremely uncomfortable under Mu Qian's gaze, and her heart was pounding with anxiety.
I could only try my best to suppress my wildly beating heart.
"Looks like nobody welcomes me here?" Mu Qian said dejectedly. "I say, Ayan, you really shouldn't have brought me along."
Long Jingyan: Is this little girl addicted to acting?
"If you hadn't come, we wouldn't have been able to have everyone for today's dinner."
Long Jingyan took the teapot, stood up and poured Mu Qian a glass of water, "So you are the main character today, of course you have to come."
One sentence seemed to be a slap in the face to Ning Ruo.
This is clearly a declaration of some kind of relationship.
His relationship with Mu Qian seemed very close, the kind of closeness she was unwilling to accept.
Is this a declaration of that kind of relationship?
His hands, resting on his lap, were clenched so tightly they seemed to be about to explode, and the veins on his arms were faintly visible.
Everything was observed by Mu Qian, gradually confirming her suspicions.
Ning Ruo is no ordinary person!
"No way?"
Tang Zhou also noticed something amiss, and seemed to suddenly realize, "A secret relationship?"
No way!
Has this perpetually reserved guy, who's been secretly in love for ages, suddenly fallen for someone?
Or did she fall in love with the top celebrity he had his eye on?
No wonder Long Jingyan was so wary of him; was he afraid that he would steal his love away?
The news that Ning Ruo and A Yan are discussing marriage is probably just a one-sided leak.
Mu Qian didn't rush to deny it, after all, she and Long Jingyan were indeed preparing to develop some kind of relationship.
I won't deny it for now, I just want to see Ning Ruo's reaction.
Long Jingyan has always been henpecked, so he acts according to Mu Qian's reaction.
Moreover, this was a relationship he desperately wanted to make public, preferably known to the whole world.
Mu Qian is his woman!
However, it is not appropriate to announce it now.
Although the little girl is already an adult, she is still a student, and the nurturing process needs to continue...
well!
Torture!
"Ahhh."
Tang Zhou, completely absorbed in shipping the couple, exclaimed, "We're all on the same side, would it kill you to just admit it?"
The fact that the person involved hasn't personally confirmed it means there's still some suspense surrounding this matter.
CP fans will be really upset!
While Tang Zhou eagerly watched the drama unfold, Ning Ruo finally couldn't take it anymore.
He suddenly stood up, and the chair creaked loudly.
All three of them looked at Ning Ruo.
She explained awkwardly, "Sorry, my stomach is a little upset, I need to go to the restroom."
The private room had its own toilet, but Ning Ruo hurriedly got up and ran to the public toilet outside the room.
Tang Zhou looked embarrassed when he saw Ning Ruo leave in a hurry. "Oh my god, what have I been doing?"
It's obvious to everyone that Ning Ruo likes A Yan.
He was just now obsessively shipping Ayan and Muqian; he's really sinful.
"I'll go take a look." Mu Qian also got up.
"Um."
Long Jingyan not only didn't stop him, but also supported him.
Tang Zhou rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Ah Yan, are you crazy? You're sending Mu Qian to comfort Ning Ruo?"
Long Jingyan calmly picked up the menu, carefully read through it from beginning to end, and then ordered the dishes that Mu Qian liked.
It was as if what Tang Zhou said had nothing to do with him.
"You didn't know Ning Ruo liked you?"
Tang Zhou was extremely worried. "You made your current partner comfort your ex. You're such a scumbag."
In the end, he couldn't stop himself from cursing.
Mo Jin: I respect Zhou Shao as a man waiting to die!
Long Jingyan's bloodthirsty gaze fell sharply upon Tang Zhou.
"Ning Ruo and I never started, and Qian Qian and I haven't started yet."
Tang Zhou: "..."
His expression immediately fell apart.
What the heck?
Was he just gossiping from beginning to end?
Mo Jin: Some melons you've eaten carelessly, while others are still growing.
"That……"
Tang Zhou persisted, "If you and Mu Qian haven't even started yet, can I...?"
“No!” Long Jingyan refused outright.
Tang Zhou: "I haven't finished speaking yet."
"No way!" Long Jingyan said.
Tang Zhou: "..."
*
Ning Ruo stayed in the public restroom with the door closed for a long time.
My emotions lingered for a long time.
If I had slowed down even a step, I would have definitely lost control.
Mu Qian, it's her again!
She repeatedly and abruptly reversed the plot she had arranged.
His eyes burned with a fierce rage, as if shattered by poison.
He took a book and a pen out of his bag and wrote a passage on a blank page.
My intense anger gradually subsided.
This is a world within a book, and no one can control this world better than her.
The people she desires and the situations she wants to reverse will definitely proceed according to her plan.
With a "click," Ning Ruo walked out of the toilet.
The moment I stepped out, a voice came from inside, "Why did you stay in there for so long? I thought you had fainted from grief inside."
"Because of me, I took away everything you wanted."
Ning Ruo was startled and suddenly turned her head to look.
Mu Qian leaned against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest, looking arrogant and domineering.
In the real world, Ning Ruo hates Mu Qian the most.
Mingming's father married her mother and abandoned Muqian's mother.
But every time Mu Qian came back, she still had an arrogant expression, and even her father had to give way to her.
This is because Mu Qian is a rare prodigy and was chosen as a special talent for special cultivation.
"What are you saying? I don't understand." Ning Ruo had already regained her composure, turned her gaze away, and went to the sink to wash her hands.
After taking only two steps, she heard Mu Qian say again, "You may not understand, but..."
"Murong should be able to understand."
