He smiled wryly and said, "Your wine is as delicious as ever. Thank you for your hospitality, but I just returned to China, and my father is waiting for me at home, so I won't be able to join you for this meal."
After saying that, he staggered up from the table, took the coat he had just taken off, stood up, took a deep breath, and walked out.
Mu Wenya remained silent and did not look at him. Mu Nanxun, however, could not bear to see Ouyang acting like this and added from behind him, "I'll treat you to a meal another day to welcome you back."
Ouyang, who had already walked out of the restaurant, paused, turned around, and his face no longer showed any trace of his dejection. He grinned and said, "That's more like it. You heartless bastard, at least you said something sensible! But I've been traveling around for a few years now, seen a lot of the world, and my tastes have become more and more discerning. I'm not as easy to please as I used to be. You'd better wait and see what happens!"
"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."
"Alright, I really have to go now. My father-in-law is urging me to come home. Wenya... Sister, thank you for your hospitality. Although I didn't eat much, the wine was really delicious, excellent wine. I'll definitely come back for more next time."
Mu Wenya looked up and smiled politely and considerately, "No problem, I'll save this wine for you and wait for you to come and drink it."
Ouyang didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and walked out of the restaurant without looking back.
Worried that Ouyang might be a little drunk and unsafe on the road, Mu Nanxun ordered a man in black to personally escort him back.
"Let's eat, it's getting cold..." Mu Wenya picked up a piece of pork rib and put it in Mu Nanxun's bowl, "It's your favorite."
"Sister," Mu Nanxun said, somewhat puzzled, "why didn't you let Ouyang finish speaking?"
"I've already said it, it's useless to say anything, there's no need to say anything, it will only cause more trouble. Don't worry about my business, just eat."
Mu Wenya picked up her chopsticks but put them down again, losing all desire to eat the delicious food on the table.
"You're still young. Are you really planning to spend your whole life like this? Rather than being all alone, why not find someone to keep you company? Anyway, that person is dead and can't come back. Ouyang is a good choice. Although he has a lot of scandals, I know him. He's just putting on a show for others. He hasn't had many serious relationships. In terms of being devoted to a relationship, he's no less than me. Maybe you can give him a chance."
With a "snap," Mu Wenya put down her chopsticks, her face darkening. "Nanxun, I hope you remember, he is not dead, and he will definitely come back."
"It's been so many years, why deceive yourself anymore? Everyone who went with him back then perished at sea. Do you think he still has a chance of survival? Besides, if he really wasn't dead, if he could really come back, he would have returned long ago. He wouldn't have been missing for so many years." Mu Nanxun was also somewhat angry. He had watched his beloved sister become like a walking corpse because of that man. In the past few years, no one, no matter what, could make her smile from the bottom of her heart. Moreover, her will and body were deteriorating day by day. If she couldn't get over it, he didn't know how much longer she could hold on.
"He was just..." Mu Wenya's voice choked with emotion, a rare occurrence for her. She had always hidden her vulnerability, never letting anyone see it. Only when she thought of that person would all her willpower crumble.
