Shen Mufeng stepped forward and stood in front of him, protecting Ji Zhinan behind him.
"Miss Ji, you're joking. Zhi Nan and I are just here for a meal."
He was always gentle and polite to people, but when he looked at Ji Zhixia, his smile was tinged with coldness.
Ji Zhinan looked at Ji Zhixia with amusement, and after a long while, he slowly said, "Mr. Shen is right. Mr. Shen and I are just here to eat. Seeing how affectionate my sister and Young Master Mu are, it should be my sister and Young Master Mu who are here to book a room, not me."
Ji Zhixia glared: "You!"
"Since you have important matters to attend to, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll take my leave now."
Ji Zhinan nodded and turned to leave.
Shen Mufeng quickly caught up with her.
As expected, every move a beautiful woman makes is captivating.
Mu Zeyu's eyes were still glued to Ji Zhinan, and Ji Zhinan's departure had stolen his soul as well.
Ji Zhixia, standing nearby, caught a glimpse of Mu Zeyu's lingering gaze and nearly exploded with anger.
She gritted her teeth, loosened her grip on Mu Zeyu's hand, and deliberately spoke in a loud, coquettish tone.
"Honey, why is my sister so hostile towards me? Does she not like me?"
Ji Zhixia looked aggrieved, and her eyes were almost red.
Mu Zeyu withdrew his gaze and looked at Ji Zhixia's appearance. Instead of offering comfort, he scolded her, "Zhinan and that man were just having a meal. Why did you bring up booking a hotel room?"
Ji Zhixia was taken aback by the scolding: "Husband..."
The old Mu Zeyu didn't care whether Ji Zhinan lived or died.
Upon hearing Ji Zhixia's address to him, Mu Zeyu said again, "Xiaxia, we're not married yet. Just call me by my name. Calling me 'husband' is too early."
"..." Ji Zhixia was stunned again: "But, but you never said anything when I called you that before."
What's wrong with Zeyu? Why does he change so much whenever he sees Ji Zhinan, and even won't let me call him "husband" anymore?
Mu Zeyu, with a stern face, said seriously, "I spoiled you too much before, which has led to you speaking recklessly and saying whatever comes to mind. Since I am your boyfriend, it is my duty to take charge of this matter."
"I..." Ji Zhixia wanted to argue, but seeing Mu Zeyu's eyes, she pursed her lips, lowered her head unwillingly, and whispered, "I understand."
In her mind, she had already placed all the blame on Ji Zhinan.
It's all that bitch's fault. If she hadn't bewitched Zeyu, he wouldn't have spoken to me like that.
Seeing Ji Zhixia obediently admit her mistake, Mu Zeyu's expression softened.
"Old...Brother Zeyu." Ji Zhixia wanted to call him husband, but remembering what Mu Zeyu had just said, she changed her address.
Her head rested against Mu Zeyu's arm, and her hands began to wander, groping around Mu Zeyu's waist and slowly moving down to his thighs...
"It's getting dark outside, how about... we go see a movie tomorrow? Let's not go back tonight, let's just get a room here..."
She winked at Mu Zeyu, the implication quite obvious.
In the past, Mu Zeyu would never have refused.
But now, less than five minutes ago, he finally saw Ji Zhinan, whom he had been longing for.
Looking at Ji Zhinan's naturally beautiful face, and then at Ji Zhixia's strangely shaped nose... the comparison made Mu Zeyu feel nothing for Ji Zhixia.
He coldly slapped Ji Zhixia's hand away, rejecting her advances, and said indifferently, "Never mind, let's go to the company first thing tomorrow morning. It's quite far from here."
