Anyway, as soon as they left side by side, Helian Hao and Jing Feng walked over: "Ladies, can you tell your best friends what kind of drama just happened?"
Helian Hao curiously opened her mouth and asked first.
"Ask your good friend!"
Mu Yichen’s voice was clear, indifferent, cold, and distant.
Helian Hao raised her eyes, a bit bewildered, not understanding why Mu had such a big reaction.
After that, Mu Yichen and Jing Feng swaggered ahead, Helian Hao covered half of her mouth with her hand and whispered to the woman beside her: "Was that man your ex-boyfriend?"
Qin Mu was startled and turned to look at her, not knowing how Helian Hao had associated him with an ex-boyfriend.
"Really? I heard that soone proposed to you in Paris when you were twenty."
Seeing her so surprised, Helian Hao explained.
"But he wasn’t my ex-boyfriend! We never dated!"
Qin Mu didn’t explain the proposal story, because that was true, but she clarified the ex-boyfriend misunderstanding.
"No wonder Mu Yichen was so upset!"
Helian Hao let out a light laugh.
"You can still laugh? Do you know how nervous I was just now?"
Qin Mu whispered to Helian Hao, recalling how Mu Yichen had asked her last ti if she still contacted Rui Sen, and she had claid she’d forgotten who Rui Sen was. Yet today, she ran into Rui Sen and chatted with him for several minutes.
"You were nervous, and that Bian Miss was also tense, but the guy she was with was your classmate. Do you think she already knew about this, intentionally bringing this man to disgust you and ruin your relationship with Mu Yichen, or was she unaware of your history with Rui Sen and ended up disgusting herself?"
"I’d rather it be the latter."
Qin Mu and Helian Hao whispered all the way to the elevator.
Once inside, because of Mu Yichen’s glances, Qin Mu didn’t dare say another word, she even breathed cautiously.
Helian Hao and Jing Feng just watched the show from the side, as people watching a drama never think the event is too grand.
As the elevator ascended slowly, Qin Mu’s heart was tightly wound, she wanted to look at Mu but dared not, wanted to placate him but feared accidentally stepping on a tiger’s tail, so she was very cautious.
The elevator dinged open, and Qin Mu’s face still looked a bit unnatural.
Mu Yichen walked out first with his hands in his pockets, Jing Feng followed, Helian Hao bumped Qin Mu on the shoulder: "Let’s go!"
Qin Mu quickly followed out, taking small steps to catch up with Helian Hao: "Help see if Mu’s expression is calm?"
Helian Hao, almost instinctively, tilted her head to glance at Mu Yichen’s face, then slowed down her steps and whispered to the woman beside her: "Very normal."
Hearing this, Qin Mu imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like she almost collapsed.
But what Helian Hao ant by very normal was really Mu’s version of normal, not soone else’s usual mild and agreeable deanor, but cold as wind.
Fortunately, this gathering of the two families had elders present, so Mu didn’t embarrass her at the dining table and even helped her with dishes.
Qin Mu looked at the food, a bit afraid to eat, quickly serving him too.
Helian Hao, sitting on her other side, looked at her and leaned over in resignation to softly mutter by her ear: "Miss, please don’t be so nervous, the whole world thinks you two are having a cold war."
Listening to that slight reminder, Qin Mu involuntarily lifted her eyes, then couldn’t help but feel deeply embarrassed by the elders’ pretense of not understanding them.
"We weren’t fighting!"
After speaking those few words, she realized sothing was wrong, as if they ca from her throat contrary to her intentions.
The elders glanced slightly, looking at her in difficulty.
Qin Mu instantly closed her mouth tight, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
"We’d be surprised if you two weren’t fighting." Mu Zihao quipped.
"Just like this, no one can break you up, perhaps this is what they call destined rivals?"
After Mu Zihao finished speaking, Jing Xianzong also chid in.
Unexpectedly, the opening of this dinner party revolved around their relationship, Qin Mu later found herself unable to speak much and just quietly beca invisible.
In fact, most of the younger generation was invisible as the elders kept on talking.
The elder Jing and the elder Mu took turns bashing Jing Xianzong and Mu Zihao, reminiscing from their childhood, as if they hadn’t been good kids back then.
Feng Fanghua couldn’t help but tease: "I’m really curious about what Dad and Uncle Jing were like as kids, like Dad and Uncle Jing, they must’ve been leaders among the kids back in the day, right?"
The two stubborn old n looked at each other, then cleared their throats forcefully, as if reminding Feng Fanghua to watch her words.
