Ji Zhixia didn't notice Mu Zeyu's deep reluctance. She pulled her warm coat tighter around her, feeling a warmth spread through her heart.
She knew that her brother Zeyu had always loved her and couldn't bear to see her get cold.
Ji Zhixia lowered her head and sniffed Mu Zeyu's coat. She didn't know until she smelled it that she could smell perfume.
Mu Zeyu never uses perfume, and this sweet scent is unmistakably feminine.
Ji Zhixia felt a surge of vigilance. Could it be that Ji Zhinan had taken advantage of her hospitalization to steal her boyfriend?
………
On the way, Ji Zhixia kept trying to get Mu Zeyu to talk.
"Brother Zeyu, have you seen Nannan lately? I haven't seen her in so long, I miss her so much."
After speaking, Ji Zhixia stared intently into Mu Zeyu's eyes, not missing a single small movement.
Mentioning Ji Zhinan, Mu Zeyu couldn't help but think of the scene he witnessed in the hospital. That shameless woman had become increasingly depraved after leaving him. First, there was that Gu Yibei, and after being dumped, she hooked up with a new man...
Thinking of this, Mu Zeyu's eyes revealed a deep disgust, and his words were sharp and piercing.
"Why do you want Ji Zhinan to treat you like this!"
Mu Zeyu's dislike for Ji Zhinan was genuine and not at all fake.
Seeing this, Ji Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion.
It turns out I was overthinking things.
She pulled her coat tighter around her, and, no longer wary, smiled at Mu Zeyu and said, "Brother Zeyu, your perfume smells so good! What brand is it? I want to buy a bottle too."
Upon hearing this, Mu Zeyu, who was originally furious, immediately felt guilty and abruptly turned the steering wheel.
Ouch!
Mrs. Ji, who was sitting in the back seat, wasn't wearing a seatbelt, and her forehead hit the back of the seat directly.
Ji Zhixia was also startled: "Brother Zeyu!"
Mu Zeyu quickly tried to hide his guilty conscience and explained, "The road was a bit slippery."
After saying that, he casually added, "What perfume? I don't know."
Before Ji Zhixia could speak, he quickly said to himself, "It's probably the scent of the woman's perfume that my business partner was wearing when we were negotiating a collaboration today. We hugged, so it got on me."
Sometimes, the more nervous a man is, the more a woman feels he has something to hide. But conversely, a woman won't care if a man explains things calmly like Mu Zeyu.
Ji Zhixia nodded: "Oh, I see!"
Mu Zeyu continued driving attentively, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at Ji Zhixia in the passenger seat, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was alright.
………
After sending Madam Ji and her daughter back to their pirated "Tomson 10," Mu Zeyu was about to leave when Ji Zhixia grabbed him and wouldn't let him go.
"Brother Zeyu, can't you spend some time with Xiaxia? Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I want to spend it with you."
Oh right, tomorrow is New Year's Eve.
Thinking about his plans for tomorrow, Mu Zeyu's eyes flickered, and he calmly refused, "No, I have a dinner party tomorrow to discuss a new company project. I'll be very busy tonight and won't be able to come back to spend New Year's Eve with you."
Ji Zhixia immediately became unhappy: "Brother Zeyu..."
With a stern face, Mu Zeyu earnestly lectured, "I work so hard for our future, so listen to me."
Hearing this, Ji Zhixia pouted: "...Okay."
