Chapter 31: The New Love of the Xie Family Prince of China Construction
"Senior?"
Mu Jia's feet were like cement, nailed to the spot. "Lin Nuo..."
If she guessed correctly, he meant...
She couldn't even think about it.
She was exhausted from her business trip, and he sent a message to pick her up at the airport, intending to take her to a hotel and book a room.
This behavior was so different from the impression she had of him that Mu Jia turned her head again and looked at him deeply.
"Senior sister, what's wrong?" Lin Nuo was unaware.
"Um," Mu Jia thought about the words, "Lin Nuo, I'm very tired today, I want to go back..."
Lin Nuo had already pulled her luggage and walked forward a few steps.
"It's the same if you rest here. Senior, I've already booked a room, do you mind?"
"I……"
"Senior," he turned around and put his hand on hers again, "I want to date you with the intention of getting married. We've been together for three months, and I think... in this kind of relationship, there's no reason to tell who's who," his voice sank, "Let's sleep out together for one night, ok?"
Mu Jia's thoughts began to become confused.
"Yes, I'm also in a serious relationship. But..."
But what? Mu Jia couldn't say anything. She just felt that it was too fast, especially since she was completely unprepared today.
Whether it's psychological or...
Mu Jia bit her lip, reached for her luggage, and stood still. "Lin Nuo, I understand what you mean, but I still feel..."
Too fast.
In terms of time, they were together for three months.
But in fact, her leg was injured for more than two months, and we hardly spent any time together. The deepest contact between us was hugging and holding hands.
"I'm sorry," Mu Jia hesitated, but finally made up her mind and rejected him. "I think I have something else to do today, so I have to go home first. Lin Nuo, I'll take a taxi first."
As he said that, he unpacked his luggage and walked towards the roadside, hailing a taxi.
She got in the car and told the address directly without looking back.

"You said he wanted to take you to a hotel?"
In the evening, Song Mingxi ate fruit while on a video call with Mu Jia. "Did you misunderstand?"
"I don't know either……"
Mu Jia lay on the bed and bit her lip. "But I think that's probably what he meant."
"Depend on!"
Song Mingxi sighed, "Don't judge a person by his appearance," and then asked, "So how did you answer?"
"I refused."
Mu Jia felt that no matter what the reason was, rejecting the other party was her subconscious intention at that moment.
Song Mingxi nodded in agreement.
"So what do you think now? You're boyfriend and girlfriend, so it's really too soon for him to bring this up, but after that..."
"I don't know either."
Mu Jia hesitated, flashes of the past flashing through his mind.
Song Mingxi asked her tentatively, "Do you still like Xie Siyan? Have you been in touch recently?"
Song Mingxi didn't know that Mu Jia was going on this business trip with Xie Siyan, nor did she know about the dream she had.
Mu Jia didn't know how to tell her, so he just pursed his lips in silence.
"Let me tell you something. Lin Nuo graduated from Jing University and has a bright future. You two have met each other's parents. If you're dating with the intention of getting married, he's definitely a potential stock. And then..."
Song Mingxi glanced at her and said, "Then there's Xie Siyan. I think he's a little interested in you. Well, it's impossible for him and Bai Yirou to be together."
"Why?"
Mu Jia asked gloomily.
"Because Bai Yirou is pregnant with Cen Chen's child, think about it, what man would allow his true love to have someone else's child...
I'm not saying Xie Siyan is feudal, but he doesn't seem like that kind of person."
"Oh," Mu Jia listened attentively, not paying much attention to the matter.
Just like Bai Yirou said, she and Xie Siyan have different family backgrounds, so no matter who he marries in the future, it will never be her.
Song Mingxi asked, "So have you made up your mind? If you continue to be with Lin Nuo, you'll probably have to coax her. What man can accept being rejected for sex?"
——
"Lin Nuo? Lin Nuo?!" Inside the study room of Kyoto University, a friend pushed the boy sitting by the window, and the other boy slowly woke up from his thoughts.
Lin Nuo rubbed his eyes and turned to look at the person next to him, "Zhuang Yan, you called me?"
The boy named Zhuang Yan sat down next to him, looking at the iPad in front of him with inquiring eyes.
"What are you looking at? You look so lost in thought."
Lin Nuo picked up a book beside him and blocked it.
Seeing that he didn't want to share, Zhuang Yan simply gave up and crossed his legs, opening his phone. "Let me share something with you," he pushed the phone in front of his friend. "Look who this is?"
On the Samsung phone screen, there is a piece of news——
[The head of the Xie family of China Construction went to Japan for negotiations, and there may be progress in the acquisition of Sunrise Company]
There is a line of small print below:
Xie Siyan secretly meets his lover, and trouble arises from his marriage to the Teng family.
This was a typical Hong Kong media headline, but Lin Nuo had no interest in gossiping and simply picked up the iPad in front of him.
Zhuang Yan then realized that he was drawing a picture.
"Can you draw?"
Zhuang Yan asked curiously.
"Um."
Lin Nuo had no interest in sharing, but Zhuang Yan stared at the sketch. "Damn, your drawing looks just like that woman..." He quickly flipped through the pages and pushed it towards Lin Nuo.
"Look!"
Lin Nuo glanced over casually.
But just this one glance made him freeze.
On the phone screen, there was a picture of a man and a woman walking out of the hotel side by side.
One in front and one behind, but it can be seen that the two have a close relationship. The man lowered his eyes and kept his gaze on the woman.
But that's not the point.
The key point is the big title below the video.
[The Xie family's heir apparent has a new love? He's suspected to work in the financial industry and has personally accompanied her on business trips.]
Even though the camera was blurry, Lin Nuo could still recognize it——
In my mind, it seemed as if some dilemma was suddenly solved.
Lin Nuo grabbed Zhuang Yan's phone.
Staring at the screen intently.
The woman walking beside the man, who was known as the new love of the prince of China Construction, was actually Mu Jia.
"Lin Nuo? What's wrong?"
Zhuang Yan was still yelling, "Do you know this woman? Tsk, getting a job at China Construction? She's really risen to prominence. Don't you think the financial industry makes it easy to get in touch with the upper echelons of the Heavenly Palace? Why don't we just give up on studying for a master's or doctoral degree and go get a job... maybe we can even bump into a young lady who's looking for a husband through a flower ball, and rise to the top and change our fate in one fell swoop."
Lin Nuo's mind flashed with light, and the words Zhou Xu said that day reappeared in his mind.
He said that Mu Jia was someone he couldn't touch. It turned out that she was not someone he could touch. No wonder he rejected her so bluntly... She was very conscious of keeping her virginity for a rich man.
Lin Nuo felt the blood rushing back through his body. He couldn't tell whether he was more shocked, angry, or perhaps a mixture of both.
Zhuang Yan was still chattering beside him.
"Lin Nuo, have you heard that saying that the financial industry is very demanding on appearance? When applying for a job, they not only consider your resume and background, but also your appearance..."
