Chapter 165: Are you particularly regretful?
After listening to this, Lu Yiran nodded thoughtfully, thinking that Shi Mubai was right. After all, Song Rui had said the same thing.
Chu Ci said disapprovingly:
"Mu Bai, your move is too slow, isn't it? How can Yi Ran have so much time to take it slow?"
Shi Mubai smiled and asked:
"Then do you think Mu Nanyan is the kind of woman who can be moved by a few bouquets of flowers and a few bags?"
Chu Ci was speechless and could only shrug his shoulders:
"Okay, you guys chat slowly, I'll go order some wine."
Lu Yiran looked at Shi Mubai with a hint of seriousness in his tone:
"Where do I start, do you think?"
Shi Mubai thought for a moment and said in a calm tone:
"Let's start with the child. Now you can only rely on Chenchen to get close to Mu Nanyan. Moreover, only if Chenchen accepts you, will Mu Nanyan accept you again for the sake of the child."
When Lu Yiran mentioned Chenchen, his expression changed and his brows furrowed slightly. Shi Mubai saw his expression and thought that he was dissatisfied with his proposal, so he asked:
"What's with that expression? Is there something wrong?"
Lu Yiran sighed helplessly, with a hint of frustration in his tone:
"Chenchen is just ignoring me now."
"What's going on?" Shi Mubai was a little surprised.
Lu Yiran simply recounted the conversation he had with Chenchen yesterday, and also told Shi Mubai that he had called Chenchen that night and was blacklisted as a result.
At this time, Chu Ci just came back after ordering wine. When he heard Lu Yiran's words, he laughed out loud in a dishonest way:
"Yiran, it has to be you! If it were me, I would be angry too. You actually defended another woman in front of your son. I'm afraid that the little father-son relationship you two have left will be destroyed by you."
Shi Mubai didn't expect that Lu Yiran would offend his son right from the start. This was simply cutting off his own retreat!
Lu Yiran is very capable and successful at work, and can easily resolve any problem; but when it comes to relationships, he is like an ignorant child, completely clueless about the subtle and complex relationships involved.
Shi Mubai shook his head helplessly and looked at Lu Yiran with a helpless expression:
"Yiran, you're on your own, there's nothing I can do."
Chuci directly gave advice:
"If you ask me, you'd better deal with Xu Nanxing first. If you keep her around, she will become a disaster sooner or later. She hurt you in the first place, and you are still being soft-hearted towards her?"
Lu Yiran frowned, with a hint of hesitation in his tone:
"But Liu Ma only has this one daughter..."
Chu Ci said disapprovingly:
"It was Liu Ma who took care of you, not her daughter. Besides, you've taken care of them for so many years, providing them with good food and drink. You've already done your best. I didn't ask you to do anything to her. I just wanted her to disappear from your life and be sent abroad. As for Liu Ma, you can continue to find someone to take care of her."
Shi Mubai also nodded in agreement:
"I agree with what Chu Ci said, Yiran, if you really want to win Mu Nanyan back, you have to clean up the women around you. No woman would want her man to have a bunch of confidantes with unclear relationships around him."
Lu Yiran was silent for a moment, thought about it carefully, and felt that what they said made sense. After all, Chenchen ignored him because of this matter, not to mention Mu Nanyan.
He sighed, with a hint of determination in his tone:
"Okay, I'll deal with Xu Nanxing's matter as soon as possible."
Chu Ci seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Lu Yiran and said:
"Speaking of which, Yiran, when you divorced Mu Nanyan, did you ever think about today? Do you feel particularly regretful?"
Lu Yiran actually felt quite regretful. If he had known earlier that Mu Nanyan was pregnant with his child, and their child was already so big, he would never agree to a divorce no matter what.
When Lu Yiran thought of Chenchen, he couldn't help but wonder if Mu Nanyan also liked him at the beginning? Otherwise, why would she choose to give birth to Chenchen? If it weren't for Chenchen, her life would be better now, right? So, she must have liked him to make such a choice.
Thinking of this, Lu Yiran still felt a little guilty. If he and Mu Nanyan had been able to talk openly and honestly, would there not be so many misunderstandings between them? Would they still be able to live together like a family now?
However, Lu Yiran would only think these thoughts silently in his heart and would never admit them in front of Chu Ci.
He glanced at Chu Ci coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone:
"When you meet a woman you want to marry, and she doesn't want to be with you because you've had too many girlfriends and slept with too many women, I wonder if you'll regret it."
Chu Ci listened, but still had an indifferent expression on his face, and replied frankly:
"Don't worry, there won't be a woman like this. The girl I like hasn't been born yet."
Shi Mubai listened to this and couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, with a hint of ridicule in his tone:
"Chu Ci, I hope you remember what I said today and don't get slapped in the face later."
Chu Ci shrugged, looking confident:
"Don't worry, I, Chu Ci, will keep my word and will never regret it."
Lu Yiran looked at Chu Ci's confident expression, but his heart was a little complicated. He thought back then, he was so confident too, thinking that he would never fall in love with anyone else in his life. After all, his father and mother's experiences were bloody lessons...

Mu Nanyan was sitting in her office at this time, concentrating on drawing the design draft. Her pen tip slid gently across the paper, outlining smooth lines, and various sparks of inspiration kept emerging in her mind.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the office door.
“Dongdongdong——”
"Enter."
Mu Nanyan responded casually without even raising her head.
The door was pushed open and Zhou Ruxuan walked in, holding several documents in her hands and with a serious expression on her face. Zhou Ruxuan called softly.
“Grace.”
Mu Nanyan raised her head and glanced at her, her eyes fell on the document in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed:
"Any new job?"
Zhou Ruxuan nodded, walked to her desk, and put down the documents one by one:
"Well, you took a break recently and accumulated quite a few pre-orders. Also, there's a bigger order. A dance troupe from abroad is going to perform in the second half of the year and they want you to customize their costumes."
"Did you pick it up?"
"I didn't agree directly. It mainly depends on your intention. They want a large quantity. If you accept it, you may not have time to do other designs later."
Mu Nanyan put down the pen in her hand, leaned forward slightly, and said with a hint of interest:
“Is their dance troupe full of people?”
"There are fifty people in the show."
Zhou Ruxuan opened the file and pointed to one of the pages and said,
"And their requirements are quite special. Each person's clothes must be unique, which means that one series must have 50 different sets of clothing."
