Chapter 53 Don’t Think Too Much
The next day, as soon as Mu Jia opened the glass door, Song Mingxi pulled him into the booth in the corner.
The latte art in the coffee cup has become a little loose.
The hot air was rising, but it couldn't dispel the gossip fire burning in the eyes of friends.
"Tell the truth!"
Song Mingxi lowered his voice, "Last night...did you accept his confession?"
Mu Jia had no choice but to tell her everything that happened last night. When she talked about the kiss between them on the bridge, she cried and Xie Siyan pulled her into his arms to comfort her.
Song Mingxi was shocked when he heard this: "So you guys...are officially together now?"
Mu Jia pursed her lips.
Xie Siyan had indeed said more than once that if they were together, in Wuzhou, including last night in the car...
She didn't know if it counted.
She had too many details in her mind.
Like the catkins in the night sky, you can’t catch or touch them, so you can’t figure out the current relationship between the two people.
"So what do you think now?"
Song Mingxi came close to her and asked in a low voice, "Do you like him?"
Mu Jia said nothing.
"That means I like you."
Actually, there is no need to ask.
It's easy to understand why Mu Jia likes Xie Siyan. Xie Siyan comes from a good family and has an outstanding face. If she had the choice, no woman would refuse him.
Song Mingxi thought about the relationship between Cheng Yu'an and Xie Siyan, and the exciting plot he had imagined flashed through his mind...
Shura Field, Shura Field.
She lamented that life is like a play, and that plots that only happen in novels are actually happening in reality.
"By the way, have you contacted Cheng Yu'an recently?"
Song Mingxi asked while stirring his coffee.
Mu Jia shook his head.
——Except for Cheng Yuan’s half-hearted remarks during the Spring Festival, they really had no contact at other times.
A good ex should be like dead.
Besides, he is married.
She doesn't want to cause trouble.
Song Mingxi understood her silence.
The two were exes, and their breakup was so undignified. When he suddenly said he wanted to get married, Mu Jia was depressed for a very long time. If she hadn't been really hurt, she wouldn't have been so irrational as to provoke Xie Siyan.
Hmm.
All in all, Xie Siyan has paid the price for his mistakes...
Song Mingxi sighed, "It's fate," turned around and went to the front desk, saying, "One iced Americano, pack it up for me."
"Yes, ma'am."
Mu Jia looked at her, "Who are you bringing it to?"
Song Mingxi hummed, feeling embarrassed for a moment: "He Chen has been staying at my place recently."
After she finished speaking, she said with a bit of a grumble, "He's renovating his own apartment, and he's acting like a spoiled brat and doesn't like staying in hotels. Oh my god, are men from ordinary families so pretentious even after they become rich?"
Mu Jia felt that her complaints were fake.
Anxiu is real.
——
Cen Chen’s birthday party was held in an exceptionally grand manner at the Cen family’s old house.
The crystal chandeliers illuminated the entire banquet hall with dazzling brilliance, champagne towers were stacked high, and waiters were carrying exquisite meals and moving among the guests.
Because it was the first month of the year, there were a lot of people coming, and all the familiar people in the circle were present.
At the beginning of the banquet, Cen Chen appeared in front of everyone with his arm around Bai Yirou's waist.
Bai Yirou wore a light-colored fishtail dress and the pink diamond necklace that Cen Chen bought at a high price at the Sotheby's auction last week was worn around her neck.
It sparkles under the lights.
The two held hands, and Cen Chen lowered his head and whispered in her ear from time to time, causing Bai Yirou to cover her lips and chuckle.
The beginning is bound to be another wave of showing affection.
"Here they come again." Zhou Xu shook his red wine glass and joked to Xie Siyan beside him, "This couple who show off their wives are about to start their performance again."
Xie Siyan looked on without any emotion.
Cen Chen quickly updated a set of nine-grid photos on his Moments: there was Bai Yirou's profile making a wish in the middle of the banquet hall; there was a close-up of the two of them drinking from the same cup; and there was also the priceless pink diamond, with the caption "Tomyqueen".
Cen Chen and Bai Yirou were the first to get married in their circle, and they were the most frequent in flaunting their affection. Not to mention their world travels, every now and then Cen Chen would go to an auction and buy Bai Yirou some gift: jewelry, jade, everything. He would then post photos of it, making everyone envious.
The banquet is half over.
Bai Yirou came over and generously offered to introduce a girlfriend to Xie Siyan to prevent him from being alone.
Zhou Xu came over immediately upon hearing this, grinning roguely, "He can't go see him."
"Why."
Someone nearby immediately started to make a noise: "Is there even a need to ask? There's already someone here!"
Zhou Xu just smiled and said nothing, only gave Xie Siyan a meaningful look. Xie Siyan took a sip of wine with a calm expression.
Neither admitted it.
Didn't deny it either.
——
The banquet soon entered into free time.
Cheng Yu'an walked silently to Zhou Xu's side.
He was wearing a dark grey suit today, but his tie was a little loose, and he looked worried.
"Si Yan has a girlfriend?" Cheng Yu'an went straight to the point.
It would be strange if you didn't talk about it at the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight.
But in Cheng Yu'an's memory, apart from Bai Yirou, there were really no other women around Xie Siyan.
Blind dates don’t count.
Zhou Xu shook his wine glass and asked, "Xie Ling didn't come with you today?"
"She has some personal matters."
Yeah--
Zhou Xu raised his eyebrows.
Cheng Yu'an quickly changed the subject.
"You haven't answered me yet. Does Si Yan have a new girlfriend? I haven't seen her."
Zhou Xu patted his shoulder.
"Your brother-in-law was the first to know about his new girlfriend."
Cheng Yu'an stared at the familiar face in front of him for a long while, then suddenly said, "I suddenly feel like there's a gap between you and me after marriage."
"Don't think too much."
Zhou Xu was silent for a moment, then said, "It's just that you've started to get busy with important things in your life, so we have less time to get together."
——
The party is not over yet.
Cheng Yuan left early.
He drove a black sports car out of the Cen family's villa in the far suburbs. The time on the car's display screen showed that it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
He pressed the call button on the steering wheel. The first number rang for a long time without anyone answering, so he changed the number.
The butler picked up quickly.
"Where's Xie Ling?"
Cheng Yuan frowned.
"Sir, my wife hasn't been home all day. She got a phone call this morning and rushed out without even having breakfast."
"Do you know where she went?" Cheng Yu'an asked.
"Madam didn't say anything." The housekeeper suggested, "Should we ask Miss Bai?"
Cheng Yu'an tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said, "I just came out from Cen Chen and Yi Rou's place. She's not here."
The housekeeper on the other end of the line also sounded confused. "That's strange... Madam usually tells us when she goes out, but this time she was in such a hurry that she really didn't tell us where she was going."
It's already ten o'clock in the evening. As a newlywed couple, it's normal for Cheng Yu'an to be worried.
"How about I give my wife another call?"
"never mind."
Cheng Yuan rubbed his brows and hung up the phone.
