Mu Yan didn’t return to the flower shop and planned to take a taxi directly to the hospital to pick up Mu Chen.
Probably preoccupied, she stood dazed by the roadside for quite a while, oblivious as many taxis passed her by.
Although she had been tough in front of Yin Manqing just now, her heart was actually in turmoil.
An illegitimate child...
Even illegitimate children from ordinary families lead unsatisfactory lives, let alone in wealthy mansions.
For the sake of the family business, both open and hidden struggles are inevitable, and it’s all too normal for illegitimate children to be oppressed.
She thought of his cousin, who wasn’t very friendly to Jiang Jingheng, even looking at him with contempt, clearly looking down on him.
Also, back then Zhao Xiyue arrogantly told her that she was the one most suitable for him.
She just felt Zhao Xiyue was unreasonable; little did she know.
He never ntioned his family situation in front of her; she, due to her own insecurity, didn’t dare to ask.
If his Mom hadn’t ntioned it, was he planning to keep it from her for a lifeti?
But paper can’t wrap fire.
At this mont, Mu Yan felt extrely chaotic inside, her mind filled with Yin Manqing’s words.
Suddenly a car stopped in front of Mu Yan, the window rolled down, and a familiar male voice sounded.
"Mu Yan, what are you doing standing here?"
Mu Yan ca to her senses and looked, it was Ning Shishen.
She nodded slightly, "Brother Ning, what a coincidence, I’m waiting for a car here."
Waiting for a car? Ning Shishen raised an eyebrow, several taxis had just passed by her.
Seeing her gloomy expression, he asked, "You have sothing on your mind?"
Mu Yan smiled slightly and shook her head.
But she couldn’t fool Ning Shishen, who said, "It’s lunchti, let’s have lunch together."
"Uh, this..." Mu Yan was about to refuse.
He interrupted her, "You just said a few days ago that you were going to treat to a al."
Mu Yan was montarily speechless and finally nodded, "Okay."
Ning Shishen pretended not to notice her reluctance and said, "Get in the car."
Mu Yan opened the car door and sat in the back seat.
She was about to call Jiang Jingheng to report, but then rembered that person’s jealousy.
If he found out, he’d likely drop everything and rush over.
Now that she knew his position in the Jiang Family, how could she let him make a mistake and give people sothing to talk about?
"What’s up? Were you about to call Jing Heng?" Ning Shishen asked.
Mu Yan looked up at him and hesitantly said, "Uh, no."
"So, a fight?" Ning Shishen asked.
Mu Yan shook her head, "No."
"Then why do you look so worried? Don’t tell you’re reluctant to spend money on this al?" Ning Shishen teased.
Mu Yan couldn’t help but laugh, "Of course not, Brother Ning, no need to save money for ."
"True, your flower shop is open now, business is good, and you’ll just get richer." Ning Shishen laughed.
Mu Yan’s lips curled slightly, but she didn’t say anything.
She turned her head to look out the window, worry etched across her brows.
The place they went to eat was a Western restaurant owned by Ning Shishen, oddly, there was no one in the restaurant today.
Mu Yan was a bit puzzled, as the restaurant’s location was quite good; business shouldn’t be so bleak.
But she definitely wouldn’t ask such questions, otherwise, it would be awkward for the other party.
Elegant violin lodies wafted through the restaurant, easing much of Mu Yan’s anxiety.
She ate her western al, occasionally exchanging a few words with Ning Shishen.
Their fields of expertise were similar, and their conversation spanned from dostic art to abroad, even reaching Ancient Greece, with topic after topic.
Suddenly, the violin music stopped, and the birthday song began to play.
"Happy Birthday to you..."
Mu Yan suddenly looked up at Ning Shishen, who was smiling at her, "Happy Birthday!"
She felt a surreal sensation, only snapping back to reality when she saw the server pushing a birthday cake over.
She looked at Ning Shishen in shock, "How did you know today is my birthday?"
