Chapter 157 "Don't you want to see the exciting ones?"
As the night deepened, a black luxury car quietly stopped in front of the entrance of China Construction.
The air pressure in the car is a little low.
I don’t know if it was because Mr. Xie witnessed Miss Mu being hit on by a male colleague, but the driver still remembered how the two of them interacted two years ago, and at this moment he keenly noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.
Neither of them spoke to the other. Finally, Xie Siyan broke the silence with a deep voice: "Go to Zhou's house."
The three words were pronounced very heavily, like ice spikes falling to the ground.
"Okay, Mr. Xie." The driver quickly turned around and vowed not to talk to Miss Mu today.
Half an hour later.
In front of Zhou's house.
The moment the car door opened, warm yellow road lights poured down.
Mu Jia got out of the car and saw a pony tied to the door. "Is this new?"
"Yeah," Zhou Xu, who was feeding the horse nearby, nodded when he heard the words. Someone in the carriage said something, and the next second, Zhou Xu saw the black car sped away.
etc.
If he hadn't seen it wrong.
That seems to be Xie Siyan’s driver...?
Are they...reconciled now?
Mu Jia walked into Zhou's house and saw Song Mingxi feeding rabbits. The couple looked like a match made in heaven.
"What is the pony for?" Mu Jia was very curious.
"Oh," Song Mingxi said without looking up, "a friend of mine runs a horse farm. He said he was very weak and no one wanted him, so he was naturally eliminated."
After feeding the foal, Zhou Xu walked from outside to inside.
"How strange..."
Zhou Xu clicked his tongue, took two quick steps, and brought some water to Mu Jia. Then he dragged out the last syllable of his words meaningfully, his eyes darting back and forth between the two of them. After a moment, he called Song Mingxi away.
Mu Jia was sitting there, and he saw the two of them gossiping—
In front of the parties involved.
"If that car with license plate Beijing A88888 isn't Si Yan's, who else could it be?"
"You mean, Jiajia just got off Xie Siyan's car..."
"hold head high."
"Tsk, no way? So fast."
Mu Jia couldn't help it, so he coughed lightly and reminded them, "I can hear you."
The night wind blew past with the scent of roses from the courtyard, and the two people seemed to have suddenly realized that there was a third person involved.
Song Mingxi said calmly, "Jia Jia, would you like some more water?"
Mu Jia, "..."
——
There was a big fuss.
When Mu Jia entered the room, he was still explaining to them—
"We just met downstairs of the China Construction Building. Thank you... Si Yan for being so kind to give me a ride. It's really not..." As she explained, she felt a slight pang in her heart.
He was clearly with someone else, yet he still did things that could lead to misunderstandings. They were all in the same circle of friends, making it difficult for her to be herself.
Zhou Xu shook his head and said quickly: "I really can't believe he loves charity so much now."
Mu Jia choked, "..."
He stopped talking completely.
This misunderstanding lasted until she was about to leave. Mu Jia and Song Mingxi were chatting about celebrity gossip when Song Mingxi suddenly saw a piece of news.
The entry #The Crown Prince of the Xie family appeared at a cruise banquet with his female companion# was followed by the word "explosion".
Several paparazzi and gossip accounts in the circle reposted and commented on it.
In the photo, Ye Zhen appeared around Xie Siyan without exception, smiling sweetly beside him and watching him talk to people.
The lights on the scene are as bright as stars.
Xie Siyan rarely wore a casual white shirt, with two buttons of the collar casually open, revealing his innate nobility in his laziness.
The light cast a halo over his features, eclipsing even the famous watch on his wrist.
In the secretly filmed video, Xie Siyan's face is so outstanding that it is hard to ignore, like a male demon.
Song Mingxi was used to listening loudly when she read gossip. When she heard the news, she immediately put down the milk in her hand and almost choked.
“Ahem—”
After she finished coughing, she stole a glance at Mu Jia, who looked calm across from her, and a wave of guilt welled up in her. Just before entering the room, she and Zhou Xu had been joking around about Mu Jia, but now...
Who would have thought that the slap in the face would come so quickly.
But this time, it was obviously Mu Jia's face that was hit.
His fingertips tapped on the phone screen.
After enduring for a long time, Song Mingxi finally spoke cautiously: "Jia Jia, you and Xie Siyan..."
Mu Jia also heard the sound from the outside speaker.
"We just met after get off work," Mu Jia said softly.
She took a deep breath, feeling the lingering scent of fir from Xie Siyan's car in the air, and shook her head.
His performance today was so childish and ridiculous——
First he insisted on sending her home, then turned around and showed up at the dinner with Ye Zhen in a high-profile manner. This clumsy performance was like...
A middle school boy who is eager to prove that he is doing better after breaking up.
Mu Jia thought this silently in his heart, but felt a moment of bitterness in his heart. Xie Siyan's behavior probably came from a mentality that could not admit defeat.
It's similar to after a breakup, when you have to show your ex how well you are doing and how easy it is to let go, but he doesn't actually have to do that.
Mu Jia lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a light shadow on her face.
She never felt for a moment that she would play a significant role in Xie Siyan's privileged life.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, neon lights illuminate the city in a bizarre way.
When Song Mingxi left the house, she hadn't thought of the right words to comfort her best friend. Instead, she heard Zhou Xu answering Xie Siyan's call, "Come over?"
"when."
——
"Look this way!"
At the cruise ship dinner auction, reporters' cameras were focused on the popular movie stars present.
The actress tilted her head just right, her red lips almost touching the earlobe of the person next to her.
The male star cooperated by lowering his head, his Adam's apple sliding slightly under his bow tie.
Xie Siyan was hiding in the shadows that the camera could not capture. His gaze passed through the crowd of people drinking and fell on the lighthouse that flickered on the distant sea level.
The waves are rough.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
Mu Jiacai left Zhou's house.
Before leaving, Zhou Xu observed her expression while Song Mingxi considered his words carefully. "Jia Jia, I'll introduce you to someone better someday! By the way, there's an elite overseas returnee in Dr. Liu's hospital..."
Mu Jia shook his head.
"I'm fine, Mingxi," he said, and then he glanced at Zhou Xu politely, "Mingxi, Mr. Zhou, I'm leaving first."
"Hey, bye~"
As the figure disappeared from sight, Zhou Xu was kicked by Song Mingxi.
"Go and join your buddies, and don't come back tonight!"
——
Zhou Xu caught up by speedboat and was carefully pulled onto the cruise ship by the sailors.
After midnight, the night deepened and the salty sea breeze, carrying the wetness of the waves, blew across the deck.
After a round of socializing and having fun, Zhou Xu wandered over to Xie Siyan and shook his head, "Don't bother. He didn't even raise an eyebrow. He wasn't paying any attention to you at all."
"You are too childish to play this trick~"
The cigar between Xie Siyan's fingers suddenly stopped, and the tobacco fell on his custom-made leather shoes.
"Which eye of yours saw it?" He stared at the turbulent sea in the distance and spoke in a cold voice, each word as if tempered by ice. "Is I still thinking about my ex?"
As he spoke, he turned and looked down at the entire sea, his collar pin gleaming in the moonlight. "It's been two years, maybe you should get a dozen of the ones you like?"
There was really no trace of embarrassment in that arrogant attitude he had when he looked down upon everyone.
Zhou Xu took a sip of his wine slowly and gave him a thumbs up: "You can do it."
After saying that, he was a little uncertain for a moment, "No, you don't like her, so you went to the trouble of bringing her back from the United States?"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He simply leaned against the railing and said, "Come on, tell me—"
"Which one did you choose?"
Thinking of Song Mingxi's recent running around, Zhou Xu spat. If this person doesn't care about them at all, they won't bother, okay?
The light from the distant lighthouse swept across the deck of the cruise ship.
It cannot reveal the undercurrent between the two people that no one can see.
Xie Siyan turned around simply and said, "Follow me."
Zhou Xu frowned:?
"Don't you want to see the ones you like?" Xie Siyan said in a cold voice.
