Chapter 149  : Kind Mr. Mu

When the waiter announced that, the crowd was shocked. Some of them could not immediately react. The waiter already walked up to Xi Xiaye with the bill and whispered softly, “Miss Xi, Master Mu says you can just sign the check.”

Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment too. She gaped at the bill that the waiter had delivered and frowned, exchanging a look with Su Nan.

Mu Yuchen?

Did he pay for the bill?

When did he come over?

She was puzzled for quite a while before taking the pen and signing the bill.

Having lost her reputation, the smile on Xi Xinyi’s face became a little awkward. Han Yifeng and the rest were very confused too. They subconsciously turned to Xi Xiaye and noticed that she was saying something to the waiter as she handed something back to him.

At that point, the soft light that flickered on her hand instantly flashed past his sight. His still eyes seemed to feel a piercing pain and he could not help but turn stiff.

If he saw it correctly, that intense light clearly sparkled from the ring on her ring finger.

Before he could take a better look, she had already put her hand away and the sleeve of her long windbreaker covered the shine. He subconsciously frowned. Even Xi Xinyi could feel that he was behaving oddly, so she frowned and followed his line of sight. However, she saw that across them, the person picked her handbag up and stood up.

“Yifeng!”

A coldness flashed in her eyes as she suddenly clung tightly onto Han Yifeng’s arm.

Xi Xiaye had just gotten up when the phone in her pocket buzzed. Whipping it out for a look, she saw that it was Mu Yuchen, so she answered it.

“I’m where I dropped you off earlier.” His deep voice calmly came through.

She adjusted her clothes and answered softly, “Mmm, wait for me. I’m coming out now.”

Then, she hung up the phone.

“Su Nan, I’m going back now. Let’s find another day to hang out properly. Remember to come on the seventh day of the New Year.”

“Hold on, Xiaye. I’m leaving with you too!”

Su Nan quickly got up, stumbling a little. She held onto Xi Xiaye and said to Ruan Heng, “Ruan Heng, pack up. We’re leaving too. It’s late. I’ll wait for you outside!”

Then, she dragged Xi Xiaye and walked out. Her movements were so swift that no one could react in time.

Ruan Heng muttered a few words apologetically to everyone before he left too.

Her slim figure walked past Han Yifeng and vanished in an instant outside the door. He hesitated for a while before running out to chase her.

urprised, Xi Xinyi called out to him and anxiously chased after them too, “Yifeng!”

...

When she walked out of the entrance of Emperor, the man had indeed stopped by the driveway. The windows were wound down. From afar, she could see that him in the driver’s seat on the phone with someone.

“Master Mu, Master Mu! Over here! Over here!” Su Nan waved enthusiastically and shouted towards Mu Yuchen who was in the car.

When he heard Su Nan’s shouts, Mu Yuchen turned over to see where the sound was coming from as he hung up. Then, he opened the car door and got down.

Mu Yuchen had just walked around his car and stood beside it when Su Nan had dragged Xi Xiaye energetically up to him and immediately started with auspicious greetings before asking for a red packet. “Master Mu! Happy New Year! May you have a prosperous one! Oh, red packet, please!”

Mu Yuchen did quite admire such a straightforward personality. He very politely nodded at her and his long fingers reached into his pocket to take two red packets out before handing it to Su Nan. He answered plainly, “Happy New Year.”

Su Nan shrieked and immediately accepted it, “Thank you, Master Mu!”

Mu Yuchen elegantly and politely smiled. His eyes fell onto Xi Xiaye, and when he realized that she did not look great, he asked softly, “Didn’t you have fun?”

“Initially, it should’ve been pretty fun, but who would’ve thought that Xi Xinyi would come too? In fact, she called Han Yifeng over too. The way they brag so ostentatiously is extremely unbearable! Master Mu, Xi Xinyi that bitc-... That woman was doing it intentionally. She even wanted to make Xiaye sing with Wang Zi!”

Before Xi Xiaye could answer, Su Nan already began to spill everything that she held in without constraint. Her every sentence complained about Xi Xinyi.

“Nan Nan, that’s enough. Don’t say any more. It’s quite late. You guys go home first. Ruan Heng followed you out too.”

Xi Xiaye looked on with a headache at Su Nan who was rambling on. Earlier, she had been provoked by Xi Xinyi and had downed quite a number of drinks, so she was starting to get tipsy. Clearly, she had drunk a little too much.

“Nan Nan!”

At that moment, Ruan Heng came up and helplessly held Su Nan who was still going on incessantly as he nodded at Mu Yuchen. “Master Mu!”

“Ruan Heng, she’s had too much. It’s fine inside, but it’s windy out here. She’ll easily get a headache when it’s windy. You’d better bring her home first.” Xi Xiaye frowned and helped Ruan Heng support Su Nan.

Ruan Heng nodded rather helplessly. “Okay then. We’ll go home now. Let’s get together again another day.”

“I’m not drunk, I’m not drunk! I don’t need you to hold me!”

“Okay, be careful on the road!”

...

As he watched Ruan Heng hold Su Nan and move further away, Mu Yuchen’s handsome brows raised. He suddenly looked down at Xi Xiaye who was still gazing ahead. The light in his eyes flickered as he chuckled softly, “Sing with Wang Zi [1]? Missus, aren’t I your prince?”

When she heard him teasing her, Xi Xiaye then shot him a side glare. She pulled the passenger car door open. “Princes go with princesses. I, Xi Xiaye don’t call myself a princess. Do you still think you’re a prince? That person’s name is coincidentally Wang Ziluo. Wang Zi for short. Drive, Mr. Mu!”

By the time she said this, she had already gotten into the car.

Mu Yuchen laughed and did not say a word. He fell silent for a moment before getting into the driver’s seat and reaching over to help her buckle up. “Since you didn’t have fun, next time, don’t attend such gatherings so often. Then, you can avoid bringing home such a foul mood.”

“Initially, I was a little unhappy, but... did you know that Han Yifeng was going to come over? Otherwise, why did you pay the bill in advance and embarrass him and Xi Xinyi?”

As she questioned him, she suddenly looked a little puzzledly at him.

Mu Yuchen paused, then smiled. “I thought it was just you and your two friends, and that I’d embarrass you by not going with you.”

She could not help but be moved by this man’s low-profile attention to detail. Xi Xiaye suddenly felt her heart warm, and she breathed in slightly. “Thank you, Mu Yuchen.”

“Next time don’t let me hear those two words anymore, you’re so unaware, if you really want to thank me, then bring out some more substantial thing...”

Before he could finish, her slim figure had already leaned forward and planted a gentle kiss on his handsome face. A light fragrance entered his nostrils, but before he could take it all in, she was done.
