Mu Yunlie looked at her dotingly and chuckled.
"No worries, I don’t particularly enjoy fruit. Keep going, how did he follow you to the barbecue restaurant?"
He enjoyed watching her eat, her little mouth smacking nonstop, her lips tender and moist.
It was pleasing to the eye.
It made one unable to resist the urge to bite.
Moreover, just watching her made him feel an imnse sense of happiness.
Yan Qianyi set down the fruit plate and wiped her hands before continuing with the story at the barbecue restaurant.
After listening, Mu Yunlie’s gaze grew even softer, "So when you looked up and smiled at that mont, was it because you thought the roses were from ?"
"Yes."
"If the roses had been from , would you have liked them?"
Yan Qianyi paused, "That’s... not really the point of our conversation right now. I’m trying to explain what happened then."
"Yes, I believe you."
"You believe even my side of the story?"
Mu Yunlie softly curved the corner of his lips, "I said I’d believe you even if you didn’t explain."
Yan Qianyi: "..."
So she had wasted a hundred thousand Star Coins for nothing?
It was because she was worried Mu Yunlie wouldn’t believe her that she had Hei Zai investigate!
However, it wasn’t entirely a waste of money; at least she roughly understood who was behind it all.
Yan Qianyi asked, "Was it you who had the forum post deleted?"
"Yes."
"Do you know who posted it?"
"I don’t know. Anyway, I’ve had their account banned and I’m not interested in finding out who it was."
"I’m interested because this isn’t just a misunderstanding; I think it was preditated," Yan Qianyi said. "Otherwise, why would they specifically choose those two photos to slander ?"
"Then I’ll have Ah Chang check."
"I’ve already found out, because I was worried you wouldn’t believe the explanation, so I looked into it myself. It turns out the person who posted it is Nakagawa Kei from Ning Nuan’s class; they are close."
Mu Yunlie frowned.
He had no recollection of the na "Nakagawa Kei."
But upon ntioning Ning Nuan, he suddenly understood sothing and asked, "Do you think it was Ning Nuan who had Nakagawa Kei post it?"
"I didn’t say that. It might also be possible that Nakagawa Kei acted on her own out of sympathy for Ning Nuan," Yan Qianyi didn’t want to spell it out.
She and Nakagawa Kei didn’t know each other and had no past grievances, so Nakagawa Kei wouldn’t randomly post fact-distorting ssages to slander her reputation.
Then the only reason could be Ning Nuan.
But in front of Ah Lie, Ning Nuan always portrayed herself as the obedient girl, and if she blatantly accused Ning Nuan without evidence, it would only lower her own stance.
Suddenly, Mu Yunlie pinched Yan Qianyi’s nose teasingly, "You and your little sches."
Yan Qianyi turned her head away and rubbed her sore nose, "What about it."
Mu Yunlie helplessly said, "You think it was Ning Nuan, just say it. Why beat around the bush in front of ?"
Yan Qianyi paused.
He had seen through her?
She felt slightly embarrassed, "Well, I don’t have direct evidence, and I was worried you would think I was being malicious and suspicious, especially since your little sister Ning Nuan is so well-behaved and sensible."
If you want to compete with a green tea, you have to be greener than green tea.
Catching the sour tone in Yan Qianyi’s words, Mu Yunlie couldn’t help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Yan Qianyi scolded, "Stop laughing!"
The feeling of being seen through made her uncomfortable all over.
Mu Yunlie’s smiling face imdiately fell.
"Okay, I won’t laugh anymore. I will confirm this matter with Ning Nuan. If it is indeed her doing, I won’t let there be a next ti."
"Do whatever you want; I’m going downstairs to eat so fruit."
Yan Qianyi hurriedly stood up and walked out of the study.
Halfway there, she suddenly rembered that she had not taken the fruit plate.
So, she went back to grab the fruit plate.
All the while, she avoided Mu Yunlie’s smiling gaze.
She had only wanted to hint at him about the photo, letting him know it might have been Ning Nuan’s doing.
She hadn’t expected such a small thought to be easily seen through by him.
Indeed, she was not suited to play the ingenue.
Since he was so smart, Ning Nuan’s little tricks in front of him probably couldn’t escape his eyes either?
After Yan Qianyi left the study, Mu Yunlie called Ning Nuan with a voice ssage.
The call was quickly connected, and Ning Nuan’s sweet voice ca through, "Brother Ah Lie, I was just about to contact you."
Ning Nuan had been nursing a back injury these past few days.
Today, her condition had improved sowhat, but she still lacked the courage to face Mu Yunlie.
Mu Yunlie asked coldly, "What do you need to contact for?"
Ning Nuan hesitated, "It’s about that night... at the little aunt’s club... I don’t know if you rember, but I wanted to co explain myself, yet I am afraid Qianyi might see and misunderstand."
Little aunt had told her that after the drug wore off, Brother Ah Lie wouldn’t rember what happened under its influence.
But Brother Ah Lie had consciously refused her that ti, so she wasn’t sure if he rembered.
Later, she asked little aunt,
and little aunt said she wasn’t sure either, only that Brother Ah Lie was very angry about the incident, so little aunt didn’t dare ask him further.
"I don’t rember anything about that night; you have nothing to explain," Mu Yunlie went straight to the point, "Nakagawa Kei is your good friend, right?"
"She... she is a classmate, but we aren’t particularly close; just ordinary classmates."
"I don’t care what your relationship is, if she posted on the school forum at your behest, I hope there won’t be a next ti, do you understand?"
"Brother Ah Lie... I don’t understand what you are talking about? Did Nakagawa Kei post sothing? I have been busy all day and haven’t checked the school forum yet; I’ll look into it later and then explain to you..."
"No need, just rember what I said before."
Mu Yunlie cut off the voice ssage after speaking.
He had given his warning and didn’t want to talk to Ning Nuan anymore.
Of course, he rembered that night.
The neurotoxin in his body had been a blessing in disguise for the first ti.
If not for the neurotoxin being stimulated by the drugs in the drink, which caused him imnse pain, he might have lost control and done sothing to betray Qianyi.
He lied to Ning Nuan about not rembering,
because he didn’t want to make things awkward by exposing the truth.
If Ning Nuan hadn’t been so persistent that night, Qianyi’s words earlier wouldn’t have made him suspect Ning Nuan.
Indeed, Ning Nuan had always shown herself to be sensible, generous, and proper in front of him.
But that night at the club, he saw her obsessiveness and stubbornness for the first ti.
It was then he realized Ning Nuan was not as she appeared.
On the other side, Ning Nuan, instead of being angry about being hung up on by Mu Yunlie, slightly curved the corners of her lips in a smile.
But that smile was not as gentle and calm as usual; instead, it carried a hint of malice and venom...
