Chu Xi just looked at me straight, his handsome eyes were slightly gloomy at the moment, he didn't hide anything at all, he just asked directly.
Mu Ci was caught off guard by his sudden and unusual direct attitude. She glanced at him twice and then said something tentatively.
"Ex-boyfriend?"
As soon as these three words came out, the face of the person sitting opposite him darkened again.
Then the man put down the bowl, chopsticks and spoon in his hands and leaned back.
"Mu Ci, you are really capable."
There was anger in his voice.
"How many years have you been married, and now an ex-boyfriend shows up?"
He said this almost with gritted teeth, and seeing him like this, Mu Ci felt that this was probably the longest sentence he had ever said to her.
Mu Ci coughed lightly.
"I was just joking. He's just a friend of mine, and he also knows Miaoran."
He explained it casually.
Yuan Jing's identity was awkward. She couldn't just say that he was the ex-boyfriend's cheating partner. Although the blame was not hers, she had to bear it.
Although she was open about this matter, Mu Ci still planned to reveal a little bit. However, she could not imagine that Chu Xi's reaction would be so big.
However, after hearing Ning Miaoran's name, Chu Xi was not relieved, but his expression became even worse.
Ning Miaoran's friends...
Chu Xi, Ning Miaoran and Bian Zihan grew up together. He knows who Ning Miaoran's friends are better than anyone else.
Chu Xi subconsciously thought of the man that Zi Han brought to Chu Zhuo's birthday party. Perhaps sometimes a man's insight and intuition are unexpectedly strong in certain matters.
So he naturally saw at a glance the man's admiration for Mu Ci.
That look made him very unhappy, and now whenever he thinks about it he wants to beat that person up.
There was a fire burning in Chu Xi's heart, which made him unable to calm down.
Then he couldn't help but asked coldly: "You are going to meet him tomorrow?"
???
After hearing this, Mu Ci almost thought he knew who this person was.
She froze subconsciously for a moment, then belatedly realized that it didn't seem to be a big deal. She wasn't going to do anything bad, so why was she so timid?
After communicating, Mu Ci nodded frankly.
As soon as she responded, Chu Xi replied directly.
"You are not allowed to go!"
The cold and hard tone makes people... feel uncomfortable.
Mu Ci frowned slightly subconsciously.
Being restricted so explicitly by someone is really uncomfortable. Especially since it is Chu Xi who currently has no memory of the past.
As if Chu Xi had sensed something, when he saw the flash of annoyance in Mu Ci's eyes, his heart suddenly ached, and he subconsciously continued with his previous angry words.
"I'm not completely well yet. I feel dizzy."
This time the words were noticeably softer.
Mu Ci glanced at his complexion, which was much better than before, and was speechless.
"I feel dizzy today. I'll be fine tomorrow after taking some medicine."
"I'll feel dizzy tomorrow, too."
Chu Xi stared at Mu Ci closely and concluded very frankly, righteously and seriously.
“…”
From the time he woke up in the morning until now, Chu Xi's reactions were very strange. No matter how slow Mu Ci was, he had noticed it a long time ago.
This guy...
"Chu Xi, are you in love with me?"
Mu Ci suddenly said this unexpectedly.
When Chu Xi heard this, he felt a wave of heat suddenly rising up, burning his ears, but there was no abnormality on his face. He even subconsciously and uncontrollably refuted Mu Ci's words as soon as he said this.
"impossible!"
“…”
Mu Ci stared at Chu Xi's expression, who seemed calm and composed but was actually frightened and slightly confused, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
There's no way she likes me, so why did she react so strongly and reject me so loudly?
It would be weird if I didn't like you.
But she and Chu Xi had made such great progress, which made her feel relieved. However, she couldn't show it too obviously for now, otherwise he would definitely retreat to a safe distance.
"Oh, in that case, I will stop liking you for now."
Having said that, he continued to eat his breakfast with a slurred look, and it was clear that he didn't want to say another word to Chu Xi.
Mu Ci's reaction was too natural, and he didn't show any reaction to his words at all. However, this nonchalant and nonchalant look made Chu Xi feel uncomfortable.
He subconsciously clenched his fists and frowned.
His eyes were now filled with annoyance and regret.
If I had known earlier... If I had known earlier...
At once……
After thinking for a long time, Chu Xi still couldn't figure out the reason.
After that, I went to work with a lot of anger.
Mu Ci Le gets leisure and freedom.
If you don't think about all those miscellaneous things, life in this small world is actually quite comfortable.
As for why she and Yuan Jing had scheduled the meeting for tomorrow afternoon, it was mainly because she had something important to do this afternoon.
Mu Ci dressed up, handed the prepared lunch directly to the front desk, and drove directly to the Chu family's old house.
Even if they disliked her, they would still remain polite for the sake of Chu Xi and the Mu family.
So Mu Ci talked to Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu separately, and explained some things very skillfully, giving them a little reminder.
Let them remember thoroughly how important Chu Xi is.
Looking at Old Master Chu's face full of rage but unable to refute, and Mother Chu's face full of astonishment, Mu Ci felt secretly happy just thinking about it.
What she said was very skillful. She just helped them analyze the current situation in a simple and in-depth way, and at the same time helped them to recognize the current situation.
Mu Ci knew exactly what they wanted, so she directly seized their soft spot and started a conversation. She gave them a chance. After all, these people were still Chu Xi's family. In the end, she still missed Chu Xi and wanted to give him a chance. But no matter what the final result was, her approach would not affect Chu Xi's judgment in the slightest.
What happens next depends on Chu Xi's decision.
After dealing with this matter, Mu Ci planned to deal with Yuan Jing's affairs properly.
This time she wants to explain everything to him thoroughly. Yuan Jing is an unwitting plot promoter from beginning to end. Judging from his setting, he deserves a better future, rather than standing still because of this fruitless relationship.
Although she will not have too much involvement with other characters in the world, she will not be completely unrelated, and this matter was originally caused by "her".
She needs to nip this little seedling in the bud completely.
After Mu Ci packed up, he put lunch at the front desk as before and went directly to the old place where he and Yuan Jing had agreed to meet.
On the other side, on a certain floor of the Chu Group's building, Chu Xi stared at the lunch box on the table, which had been prepared for him by someone who had asked the secretary at the front desk. He frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
It has been two days, two whole days, and the woman did not come up during these two days. Instead, she directly put the lunch box on the front desk.
Ever since she received the call from that man, this woman started to treat herself like this.
The more Chu Xi thought about it, the more depressed he became, and the angrier he became.
He stared at the lunch box in front of him, frowning as if he was facing someone.
Bian Zihan, who was sitting on the sofa on the other side and browsing his phone, glanced at his childhood friend Chu Xi and sneered.
It was really funny to see Chu Xi looking so serious and mad at a lunch box.
Bian Zihan secretly admired Mu Ci's deep scheming and clever tactics.
He has two childhood friends, Chu Xi and Ning Miaoran. In the end, both of them were completely bewitched by Mu Ci. No one knows what kind of magic potion she gave them.
Seeing that Chu Xi was still standing there without moving, Bian Zi Han put away his phone, jumped up from the sofa, walked to Chu Xi, and asked casually.
"Did you have a fight with that troublemaker in your family?"
Hearing him say this about Mu Ci, Chu Xi immediately gave him a cold look, and the latter smiled awkwardly.
"Brother, what's wrong with you lately? This isn't like you at all!"
As he was talking, he was about to pick up the chopsticks beside him and put a piece of meat into his mouth. The woman had no other skills, but she was good at cooking and the food she smelled was delicious.
Chu Xi came to his senses at this moment, and slapped his hand away, then picked up the open plates and pulled them towards him.
Seeing how he was protecting his food, Bian Zihan felt that he was completely doomed. It looked like he had no hope.
Rubbing his sore hand, Bian Zihan leaned against the desk, then tilted his head to look at Chu Xi and said, "Tell me, I'll give you some advice. Friendship price, 20% off."
Chu Xi ignored him and started eating without giving him any face. However, the depressed mood in Hun showed no sign of abating.
Bian Zihan pursed his lips and just stood up to leave, but he heard the person behind him suddenly say, "She hasn't brought me food for a long time."
Chu Xi put down his chopsticks temporarily and sat there with a worried and distressed look on his face.
"How long?" Bian Zihan became interested and sat back.
"Two days."
“……”Haha, what you said really makes me want someone to beat you up.
He didn't expect that Chu Xi had been worrying about this.
Suddenly I remembered some jokes. You haven't replied to my message for even a second. It's boring. If you don't love me, then forget it. There's really no need to use cold violence.
It's only been two days since I personally delivered lunch to the office, and this guy started to get mad. I guess he even made up some incredible things in his mind.
I think you've thought about cheating and divorce.
Bian Zihan glanced at Chu Xi, who had a gloomy face, and felt a chill.
Is this guy so... clingy?
Uh... as for that woman Mu Ci... maybe I can really bear it.
When you think about it this way, these two are really a perfect match.
Speechless =-=
But when you think about it, Bian Zihan still knows what to say.
"Maybe that woman is busy with other things recently. If she is busy, she will definitely not come over. It must be so tiring to come to your place. I am exhausted every time I come to see you."
"Ex-boyfriend."
“???” Bian Zihan didn’t know why these three words suddenly came out of his mouth.
"She's been busy dating her ex-boyfriend lately."
"!!!"
When Bian Zihan heard this, Yuan Jing immediately came to his mind.
So, why is Chu Xi cheating again? !
