Chapter 206 "You dare!"
Mu Jia's waist was firmly held by Xie Siyan.
She did not continue to struggle, but still looked back nervously at the door that he had just closed.
"Don't... Mingxi is still in there."
Xie Siyan didn't give her the chance to hesitate any longer and gently held her face.
He has been recuperating in the hospital for the past two days. After more than half a month of high-intensity work, their relationship reached its peak because of the intimate moment in the bathroom.
He had never expected that Song Mingxi, who was already married and had children, would still have a conflict with Zhou Xu - it would have been fine if he had to, but he had to come here at this time.
Xie Siyan has never had the habit of interfering in his friends' family affairs, not to mention that the two of them even have a child, so the Zhou family would never easily agree to their divorce.
But he didn't intend to explain these details to Mu Jia. He just put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear:
"I am your husband."
His tone was filled with unquestionable possessiveness, mixed with some sourness, "Song Mingxi is an adult. She's in her room, what could possibly happen?"
Mu Jia nudged him.
This person clearly knew that she was not worried about any accidents, but was clearly afraid that Song Mingxi would suddenly push the door open at some moment and run into them.
The more you fear something, the more likely it will come.
Although Mu Jia remained vigilant, he became more relaxed after being pestered by Xie Siyan.
At the end of the corridor, in the room, Song Mingxi saw that Mu Jia had not returned for a long time, and thought that he had gone out to get takeout, so he opened the door from the inside.
She walked out the door suspiciously, raised her eyes and looked outside, just in time to see two figures hugging each other in the shadow of the corner on the other side of the corridor.
The man is tall and straight.
He was leaning over, half holding the girl's face with one hand, while the girl was gently pulling his collar, clearly kissing him.
Song Mingxi immediately cried out, "Damn!" He covered his eyes and pretended to walk back, muttering, "I'm going to get a stye!"
But after taking only two steps, he felt unsatisfied and turned around and whispered to the figure in the shadows, "Xie Siyan, you haven't even passed this level of mine yet!"
However, the two of them were so affectionate that the man in the shadows paid no attention to her words.
When Song Mingxi was about to return to the room, the elevator next to him opened with a ding.
The delivery man came out and asked, "Ma'am, is this the takeaway you ordered?" Song Mingxi lowered her head and confirmed that it was their order before reaching out to take her own portion.
This conversation successfully woke up Mu Jia, who was led into a ditch by Xie Siyan.
She glanced at the other side of the corridor and quickly pushed Xie Siyan. The man then let go of her slightly, but the distance between them was still very close.
Mu Jia looked towards the end of the corridor and saw Song Mingxi taking the takeaway.
She quickly whispered to Xie Siyan, "You go back first," pushed him away completely, and walked back.
Outside the room.
Mu Jia took her takeaway. Song Mingxi looked at her flushed cheeks, said "Oh" in a long voice, and asked meaningfully, "Can you eat more?"
Mu Jia didn't react for a moment: "Huh?"
Song Mingxi blinked and smiled slyly: "I thought... you were full just now."
In an instant, Mu Jia's face turned red because of her teasing.
——
That night, Mu Jia did not leave, but stayed in Song Mingxi's room to have a midnight snack together. After eating, the two chatted for a while before going to bed.
It was not until then that she finally figured out the real reason for the conflict between Song Mingxi and Zhou Xu.
It turned out that Song Mingxi had just come out of confinement and her body had not fully recovered. She had little energy to take care of the baby, so Zhou Xu was in charge most of the time.
This should have been a good opportunity for the two to warm up, but unexpectedly, Zhou Xu only lasted half a month before he became a little irritated by the baby's crying. One day, while the baby was asleep, he secretly took the child back to Mrs. Zhou, and then went out to drink with Liu Heng.
While drinking, they happened to meet a little star that Zhou Xu had once dated.
It was just a chance encounter and would not be reported to Song Mingxi.
Unexpectedly, it just happened to be a coincidence that the little celebrity posted a party photo on his Moments, which happened to be seen by He Chen.
He Chen knew that Song Mingxi had given birth to a baby girl. He was in a depressed mood. After seeing the photo, he couldn't help but forward it to Song Mingxi.
He also added: "Is this the marriage you want?"
Song Mingxi was knowledgeable and experienced, so he naturally did not believe in such provocation.
But in the photo, Zhou Xu was indeed sitting very close to the female star, and she felt a little unhappy.
Unexpectedly, when Song Mingxi asked Zhou Xu if he had met his ex, Zhou Xu denied it.
Now, even if it’s not true, it’s true.
Song Mingxi was completely furious and took the photos in front of Zhou Xu. She could accept Zhou Xu drinking at the same table with his ex, but she could not tolerate him not only meeting with his ex in secret but also lying to her.
In this regard, Zhou Xu said:
He didn't even recognize that the man was his ex.
How ridiculous!
——
The next morning, four people sat together at a table to have breakfast.
The dishes on the table were clearly arranged, as if an invisible "border" was drawn between the two sides - the dishes ordered by Zhou Xu and Xie Siyan were placed on their sides respectively, and Song Mingxi's chopsticks did not even cross the middle line.
Mu Jia naturally noticed that the atmosphere was abnormal.
But she was helpless.
Song Mingxi not only dislikes Zhou Xu now, but the more she looks at him, the more she feels that "birds of a feather flock together". She even felt uncomfortable looking at Xie Siyan in the first place, and now it is even worse.
It was obvious that Xie Siyan would definitely side with his brother, so Song Mingxi was too lazy to talk about the conflict between himself and Zhou Xu in front of the three of them, and just dealt with it coldly.
Mu Jia felt uncomfortable with the weird atmosphere. After chatting with Zhou Xu symbolically for a few words, he fell completely silent.
It was supposed to be a 2v2 couples dinner, but it turned out to be like a meeting of enemies.
Everyone else in the restaurant noticed the strange atmosphere around them, but Mu Jia didn't dare to talk to them in front of Song Mingxi and Xie Siyan.
For Song Mingxi, this felt like a betrayal.
Xie Siyan was calm and relaxed, leaning back in his chair.
He clearly felt Song Mingxi's cold treatment, but he didn't care much and just concentrated on eating.
Anyway, he wasn't hungry last night, and there was still a long time to come. He didn't believe that Song Mingxi and Zhou Xu could really stay in his territory forever.
The Zhou family has no property in the south.
Zhou Xu himself is a native northerner and is not very adapted to the humid climate here.
Just two days after arriving, he complained several times that "it's too humid and my whole body feels uncomfortable", and even developed eczema on his skin.
It's real eczema.
He had placed an order for ointment online early in the morning.
Song Mingxi glanced at her and cursed in a low voice without any hesitation: "You deserve it!" Zhou Xu looked up at her, probably knowing that he was in the wrong and it was not appropriate to argue, so he lowered his head silently after their eyes met.
Seeing that there was no hope for them to reconcile in the short term, Mu Jia hurriedly finished his meal and asked Song Mingxi, "Mingxi, what are your plans for today?"
Song Mingxi smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Continue shopping. Do you have anything to do today?"
Xie Siyan hadn't been discharged yet, and Mu Jia planned to go back to the hospital. After she hesitated to express her feelings, Song Mingxi expressed her understanding: "It's okay. If you don't accompany me, I have someone to accompany me - my ex-boyfriend, He Chen. He is in Nanshi."
Just as he finished speaking, Zhou Xu suddenly jumped up and slammed the table, "How dare you!"
Song Mingxi raised her eyes and said, "Why shouldn't I dare? Can't I reminisce with my ex-boyfriend?"
