"Yeah, I’m worried your family will think you’re not good enough for , refuse to let us be together, and throw a check worth billions at to make leave you. I’m afraid I won’t be able to contain my excitent and will run off with the check."
Her teasing words left Xu Yisen both amused and exasperated. "I’m worth much more than a check worth billions."
"Ah, true, with Yisen’s high value... It seems I’ll have to righteously reject their check and clearly tell them that this beautiful flower prefers to stick with manure?"
"Pfft, you really are a flower with heavy taste."
"Yeah, otherwise, how could I have taken a liking to you."
"...!"
The two chatted intermittently, taking the elevator down to the mall’s underground parking lot to fetch the car.
As the car drove halfway, the topic between them ceased, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly beca quiet.
Munni thought about her encounter with Xia Yuge in the restroom earlier. Perhaps due to recent events, her arrogance had been almost worn down.
It might be because she’s recently been trying to cut corners to get an endorsent but has faced many rejections.
"By the way, I ran into Xia Yuge in the restroom just now."
The traffic light ahead suddenly changed from green to yellow, and Xu Yisen abruptly hit the brakes, causing both to lurch forward.
Xu Yisen instinctively reached out a hand to block in front of Munni to prevent her from lurching too hard and hitting anything.
To Munni, his sudden braking seed deliberate. She half-jokingly teased, "It’s just seeing your old fla. No need to get so excited, right?"
Xu Yisen blinked innocently. At that mont, he truly spaced out and didn’t hear Munni’s words or notice the traffic light.
When he quickly snapped back and realized the light had turned yellow, he instinctively hit the brakes.
This action really had nothing to do with what Munni ntioned about Xia Yuge.
He honestly replied, "I zoned out just now and didn’t notice the light."
"Seasoned driver, drive properly."
"Yes, Master."
"I heard Xia Weifu has already been released from prison?"
Before the red light turned green, Xu Yisen quickly glanced at Munni and then nodded, "Mm, did Xia Yuge tell you?"
Munni shook her head, "No, I heard it from soone else."
"They say it’s terminal lung cancer."
Munni looked out the window, a slight sarcastic smile playing in her delicate peach blossom eyes.
Terminal lung cancer, huh? Doesn’t seem like it.
She remained silent and didn’t answer. Xu Yisen instinctively glanced at her, guessing what she might be thinking.
"He poses no threat to you, rest assured."
"Mm." Munni nodded and didn’t say more.
The car fell silent again as Xu Yisen reached out to turn on the radio, letting the female broadcaster’s voice linger in the car.
Munni knew that if Xu Yisen wanted to bring soone down, there were plenty of ways, let alone the other person being soone with a tarnished reputation.
Was Xia Weifu released from prison early because he was discovered to have terminal lung cancer? How tenuous that excuse was, Xu Yisen must know, but he simply chose to turn a blind eye.
Ultimately, he just wanted to leave Xia Weifu a way out.
After more than twenty minutes, the car stopped at the Xu Family’s doorstep, with Uncle Zhang coming out from the house to greet them personally.
Apparently, the Xu Family didn’t expect Munni to visit so formally today, understanding that behind this formality ant that she and Xu Yisen might soon walk into the halls of marriage.
