As soon as Xiao Xin looked up, she saw the excited light shining in Mo Xuan's eyes.
His heart tightened, and he asked, "When?"
Mo Xuan: "The day before Jiang Yuqing disappeared two years ago..."
Xiao Xin's heart skipped a beat. If he remembered correctly, Jiang Yuqing should have been with He Yunzhou the day before she disappeared.
Mo Xuan said mysteriously, "Fu Yan was drinking with us at the time, and Jiang Yuqing called him, saying she wanted him to take Jiang Yuqing abroad."
Xiao Xin: "And then?"
Mo Xuan: "Then, without saying a word, Young Master Fu bought a plane ticket and rushed back to China overnight. But he couldn't find her, and he couldn't get through to Jiang Yuqing on the phone either. Soon after, the media broke the news that Jiang Yuqing was missing, and then everyone started to spread rumors that Fu Yan had eloped with Jiang Yuqing, but ended up losing her..."
Xiao Xin became anxious upon hearing this, frowning: "Why do you say that Fu Yan lost the person?"
Mo Xuan shrugged: "Just because Jiang Yuqing's last phone call was to Fu Yan, and coincidentally, that call record is still preserved."
Based on Jiang Yuqing's behavior, Xiao Xin suddenly realized something: Fu Yan had inexplicably become a sucker.
How come he never noticed before that this person was such a devoted lover?
No wonder Fu Yanhan was so excited when he saw the star necklace around his neck.
Fu Yan must have thought he had a relationship with Jiang Yuqing, which is why he treated him that way.
Because he was drunk, he mistook Fu Yan for He Yunzhou and even kissed him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xin helplessly rubbed his hair.
Who would be happy to be kissed by a drunkard?
The thought of their current relationship made Xiao Xin feel strange and a little awkward.
Seeing his irritated expression, Mo Xuan asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Xin shook her head: "No, thank you for talking to me for so long today. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
He made a gesture as if to get up.
Mo Xuan didn't stop him, and looked at him, saying, "Then remember to come to work tomorrow."
Xiao Xin hummed in agreement and straightened up.
Mo Xuan lowered his eyes and caught a glimpse of Xiao Xin's dark blue Donald Duck pajama pants. He couldn't help but laugh: "You're quite childlike. Is this some new trend?"
Xiao Xin stretched his numb legs and said casually, "Pajamas are trendy."
The wind was a bit cold, so cold that his legs felt like they were bare.
Mo Xuan also stood up and said to him, "Let's go together. Did you drive? Do you want me to give you a ride?"
Xiao Xin opened the door and walked out. "It's open, no need to see me off."
Mo Xuan didn't say anything, and followed closely behind him towards the parking lot.
As soon as Xiao Xin stepped out of the teahouse, he ran into Fu Yan, who happened to see him as well.
Their eyes met, and Xiao Xin inexplicably felt the air become somewhat awkward.
He didn't know why he felt awkward. Maybe it was because of his clothes, or maybe it was because he had just learned that Fu Yan had liked Jiang Yuqing for five years...
Xiao Xin was in a state of confusion and stood there in a daze, quietly watching Fu Yan walk towards her.
Mo Xuan, holding the documents and looking down at his phone, caught a glimpse of Xiao Xin standing there in a daze out of the corner of his eye. He turned to look at him and asked, "Xiao Xin, what's wrong...?"
Before he could finish speaking, his arm was pulled back a step, and then a tall figure appeared in front of him.
Mo Xuan took two seconds to react: "Fu Yan?"
Fu Yan glanced back at him and said, "Get lost!"
Mo Xuan was baffled. "You brat, who protected you when you were abroad? Have you forgotten?"
Fu Yan turned around, about to argue with him, when Xiao Xin pulled her back.
Xiao Xin walked between the two and looked at Mo Xuan, saying, "You go first."
Mo Xuan snorted angrily and pointed at Fu Yan's nose, saying, "I'm busy today. I'll settle the score with you in person when I'm free."
Fu Yan frowned. What was he trying to figure out? Did he even know this person?
Before Fu Yan could speak, Xiao Xin pushed Mo Xuan's back and urged, "Let's go quickly."
Mo Xuan straightened his coat, grabbed the documents, and turned to leave.
Once everyone had reached the car and gotten in, Xiao Xin turned back to look at Fu Yan with relief: "What are you doing here?"
Fu Yan put his hands on Xiao Xin's shoulders and looked him up and down: "Why are you dressed like that to go out, brother?"
Xiao Xin: "Shameful?"
Fu Yan: "No, it's just that it's kind of cute. I don't want outsiders to see how my brother behaves at home."
Xiao Xin rolled her eyes at him: "If you say it's cute again, you'll get a beating."
Fu Yan smiled, put his arm around his shoulder and walked towards the car: "I was just talking to someone about a collaboration at the teahouse, and when I came out I saw your car. I thought you might be here, so I waited for you here."
Xiao Xin was held in his arms, and the awkwardness that had just disappeared resurfaced in her heart.
He pulled Fu Yan's hand off his shoulder and went to open the car door.
Fu Yan didn't say anything and got into the passenger seat.
After Fu Yan fastened his seatbelt, Xiao Xin asked, "Did the cooperation go smoothly?"
Fu Yan nodded: "Yeah, what are you doing here, brother? Why are you with that scumbag?"
Xiao Xin drove the car out of the parking lot before slowly replying to him, "I'm also here to discuss cooperation."
He was quite impressed with himself for changing companies three times in a month.
"Was it with that person from earlier?" Fu Yan asked.
Xiao Xin hummed in agreement. "Yes, how long have you been waiting outside?"
Not long after.
Xiao Xin glanced at him, noticing his nose was red from the cold, and chuckled, "I don't believe you."
Fu Yan pursed his lips and said, "Okay, actually I've been waiting for almost an hour."
In this weather, his whole body was warm except for his feet, which were frozen.
Xiao Xin chuckled lightly: "Idiot."
On such a cold day, Fu Yan is probably the only one who would stand outside waiting for him like an idiot.
