Zheng Niannian said somewhat embarrassingly, "Sister Baiyu, let’s take the items to the car first...."
Seeing her like this, Mu Baiyu lowered her voice and said, "Niannian, men need to be properly trained. If you train him well before marriage, you can be happy after marriage! Don’t ever feel sorry for him; the child who cries gets the meat to eat."
Hearing this, Zheng Niannian smiled shyly.
After walking a few steps, Mu Baiyu seemed to remember something, stopped, and turned to Mu Baicheng, "Baicheng, I just remembered that I have something very important to do later. You accompany Niannian around the mall, and I’ll head back to the hotel first."
As she said this, Mu Baiyu lowered her voice, "Niannian has taken care of our mom for so long, remember to pay for Niannian!"
Mu Baicheng initially wanted to refuse, but considering that Zheng Niannian had indeed taken great care of his mother recently, it was only right as a filial son to thank Niannian properly on his mother’s behalf.
Plus, since he was there already, refusing now would be unreasonable. With that thought, Mu Baicheng nodded, "Alright, Sister, I understand."
This would be the last time.
He promised himself that after this, he would never have any interaction with Zheng Niannian again!
Mu Baicheng silently swore in his heart.
"Then I’m leaving." Mu Baiyu took the items from Mu Baicheng that she had bought.
After Mu Baiyu left, only Mu Baicheng remained by Zheng Niannian’s side.
The two walked shoulder to shoulder.
This was Zheng Niannian’s first time going shopping with Mu Baicheng, and she was somewhat excited.
Especially when Mu Baicheng eagerly offered to pay, he was simply too charming!
She felt that Mu Baicheng was the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
Lin Guixiang and Zhao Cuinong, carrying bags big and small, came out of the clothing store and were about to go to the third floor for dessert when Zhao Cuinong suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the crowd, "Sis, look... isn’t that Mu Baicheng?"
Why would Mu Baicheng be shopping with a woman?
And judging from their laughing and talking, they seemed very close?
Hearing this, Lin Guixiang looked up.
Indeed, she spotted Mu Baicheng among the crowd in the next second.
Zhao Cuinong frowned slightly, "Sis, who do you think that woman is? Mu Baicheng isn’t playing around with two women, is he?"
Lin Guixiang’s expression also changed, "I heard Baicheng saying that his sister might also be in Qing City. Do you think that might be his sister?"
"It doesn’t look very similar," Zhao Cuinong remarked as she squinted her eyes, "Sis, actually, there’s an easy way to find out if that woman is his sister."
"What way?" Lin Guixiang turned to look at Zhao Cuinong.
Zhao Cuinong smiled and said, "You just need to call him now, ask him where he is and who he is with."
"Okay." Lin Guixiang nodded slightly and immediately took out her phone from her bag.
As soon as he heard the ringtone, Mu Baicheng immediately halted and was startled when he saw the caller ID.
It was Lin Guixiang.
Mu Baicheng pressed the answer button, "Hello, Ah Xiang."
Lin Guixiang’s voice sounded as usual, "Baicheng, are you free to come out for dinner tonight?"
It was already past five in the afternoon, and he was still shopping with Zheng Niannian.
He definitely wouldn’t have time for dinner.
With this in mind, Mu Baicheng continued, "Ah Xiang, how about tomorrow? I might be a bit busy tonight."
"Okay," Lin Guixiang further inquired, "Where are you now?"
When asked this question, Zhao Cuinong carefully watched Mu Baicheng, who was standing not far away.
Mu Baicheng pondered to himself whether or not to tell Lin Guixiang the truth.
A misunderstanding had just occurred between him and Zheng Niannian...
If he now told Lin Guixiang that he was shopping with Zheng Niannian, wouldn’t it deepen the misunderstanding?
Their relationship was already precarious because of his mother’s affairs; if Lin Guixiang found out he was shopping with Zheng Niannian, it would spiral out of control, and he’d be unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
So, no.
He couldn’t let Lin Guixiang know whom he was with.
After pondering for a moment, Mu Baicheng continued, "Ah Xiang, I’m currently busy with the company’s relocation."
Company relocation?
His so-called company relocation meant shopping with another woman.
Lin Guixiang had always regarded Mu Baicheng as a trustworthy man, and she could never have imagined that this man would lie to her one day.
It’s undeniable that it was hurtful at that moment.
She had devoted real feelings to this relationship.
But she couldn’t afford to feel sad now; a successful woman must first learn to control her emotions.
Lin Guixiang took a deep breath and smiled, "Then you keep busy, I’ll hang up and contact you when you’re free."
"Okay, Ah Xiang."
As soon as the call ended, Zhao Cuinong angrily said, "Sis, that shameless scumbag Mu Baicheng doesn’t even draft lies! He’s obviously shopping with another woman, yet he dares say he’s busy with the company’s relocation, absolutely disgusting!"
Had she not seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed an honest man like Mu Baicheng could two-time.
While speaking, Zhao Cuinong took out her phone and snapped photos toward Mu Baicheng’s direction, "Sis, how do you plan to handle this?"
Lin Guixiang put her phone back in her bag, very calmly saying, "Break up."
