Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Overbearing Not Allowed_1
She thought it over but still didn’t know how to answer the question. Besides, ng Can was sitting right across from her. If she said it was a woman, ng Can would surely end their friendship. But if she said it was a man, Mu Yingchen might just start jumping to conclusions again.
She humd twice to Mu Yingchen on the phone but didn’t specify a gender.
Who is Mu Yingchen? Hearing her hemming and hawing, he instantly concluded she was dining with a man.
He suppressed the fury within and squeezed through gritted teeth, “A man?”
Su Wanxia helplessly touched her forehead, sighing deeply with exasperation.
Dear God, did she no longer have the right to eat with male friends? No way–
“Where?” Mu Yingchen spat out another question through clenched teeth.
This ti, Su Wanxia beca obedient and spoke slowly, “Just that Chinese restaurant.”
“I’m on my way.” After hearing the location from Su Wanxia, he dropped that line and hung up, not even giving her ti to react.
Listening to the dial tone, Su Wanxia recalled the last thing he said before hanging up. He’s coming over? Heavens! Why is he coming?
ng Can saw her dazed and helpless look and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Sumr, what’s wrong?”
Although she had said only a few words, he could roughly make out it had been Mu Yingchen’s call, but why did she have that look on her face?
“Uh, Can, that, Mu Yingchen said he’s coming too, hehe, sorry about that.” Su Wanxia’s words tumbled out incoherently.
She was truly about to lose her patience. Wasn’t she just out for dinner? Did he really need to act like this, making it seem as if she wasn’t just eating out but was having a secret rendezvous with another man?
Hearing her, ng Can smiled with an unspoken amusent.
Then he casually said, “No problem, the more the rrier.”
Su Wanxia saw that ng Can didn’t seem to mind and imdiately felt relieved, “Hehe, that’s good.”
It didn’t take long for Mu Yingchen to arrive.
Since Su Wanxia and ng Can were sitting by a window in the main hall on the first floor, not too far from the entrance, the waitstaff all cordially greeted him as he entered, making it hard to miss the chorus of “Young Master Mu.”
Upon Mu Yingchen’s arrival, the waitstaff imdiately glanced over at Su Wanxia and ng Can’s table, their gazes akin to those witnessing a woman caught in adultery.
Perhaps they were all waiting to see how Mu Yingchen would handle this awkward situation.
His girlfriend caught in a tryst with another man and he walks in on them—surely what would follow had to be a fierce showdown.
Amidst the expectations of many, Mu Yingchen approached Su Wanxia and ng Can’s table with his characteristic grace.
Su Wanxia stood up first and then offered a slight smile to him, who was clearly not in the best of moods.
To others, it was a faint smile, but in truth, it was a wry one.
As Mu Yingchen drew closer, ng Can suddenly stood up from his seat and naturally extended his hand.
“Mr. Mu, long ti no see.”
Mu Yingchen stood beside the dining table, briefly hesitating before reaching out his hand, “Actually, it hasn’t been that long.”
Su Wanxia’s lips twitched; this man was definitely here to show up ng Can.
“Hehe, let’s not stand on ceremony, please sit down.”
Hearing Su Wanxia say this, Mu Yingchen and ng Can both let go of their hands at the sa ti.
“You sit inside,” Mu Yingchen directed the still-standing Su Wanxia.
Su Wanxia was speechless; fine, she would sit inside.
This abrupt shift in the scene left the waitstaff baffled. Wasn’t a fierce confrontation expected? How co they all sat down together so amiably? Could it be they all knew each other?
—They had been excited in their hearts for so long.
Their seating arrangent was a table for four, two people on each side facing each other.
Originally, Su Wanxia was supposed to sit across from ng Can, but when Mu Yingchen arrived, it turned into two n sitting opposite each other, leaving Su Wanxia sitting on the inside, with the seat across from her empty.
Anyone who didn’t know better might think it was two brothers having dinner, with one of them bringing his wife along.
Su Wanxia sighed repeatedly in her heart. Since when had Mu Yingchen beco so petty and jealous?
“Maybe we should order so dishes that you like?” Su Wanxia turned to Mu Yingchen beside her and spoke.
“No need, I like whatever you like,” Mu Yingchen replied softly to her, his voice even gentler than usual when he was with her.
Su Wanxia’s heart chilled instantly. It was over; she could already foresee how miserable her next couple of days would be.
“Hehe, is that so? That’s good, that’s good.”
With a trace of light in his deep eyes, Mu Yingchen shifted his gaze to ng Can sitting opposite and spoke lightly, “Mr. ng is going back to the company soon, isn’t he?”
ng Can smiled and replied, “Yes, I’ll be returning tomorrow.”
“Once you leave this ti, who knows when we will see each other again.” Mu Yingchen’s tone was casual but seed to hint at sothing more.
Wanwan could not discern his thoughts, but as a man himself, how could he fail to see ng Can’s intentions?
He had assud that his Wanxia was having a al with so male friend, never expecting it to be him. It nearly drove him mad—
ng Can felt tumultuous inside after hearing Mu Yingchen’s words.
That remark truly hit a sore spot for him. Even he didn’t know when they could et again.
However, he believed that they would et again soday.
“Hehe, nowadays transportation is so developed, wanting to et is just a matter of deciding to do so.”
“True, as Wanwan’s friend, Mr. ng, you must co to our wedding,” Mu Yingchen said.
ng Can’s grip involuntarily tightened, “Hehe, I will.”
Upon hearing him suddenly ntion a wedding, Su Wanxia tensed for a mont and then quickly returned to normal.
Watching the two of them chatting back and forth happily, she could only hang her head in boredom.
It seed she was just there as a re accessory.
Through the entire al, Mu Yingchen and ng Can chatted quite rrily, discussing everything from family to business cooperations, and from there to mutual benefits and so on, leaving no opportunity for Su Wanxia to interject.
Of course, that was just her personal perception.
Whether the conversation was genuinely rry or not, only they themselves knew.
When they left the restaurant, it was ti for ng Can to return.
Before leaving, he looked deeply at Su Wanxia and gently wished her happiness before driving off into the distance.
She watched the car getting further and further away, furrowed her brows, and murmured, “Why do I feel like Can is a bit off?”
She always felt there was sothing in his eyes that she couldn’t understand, and his departing figure seed sowhat desolate? She wasn’t quite sure.
“What’s off? It’s you who should be giving
a proper explanation,” Mu Yingchen said, looking at Su Wanxia with a hint of displeasure and a threatening tone.
Su Wanxia certainly caught the implication in his words and imdiately put on a beaming face.
“What’s there to explain? He’s leaving, so I treated him to a al, what’s the harm in that?”
Mu Yingchen pulled her in front of him, his hands on her shoulders, gazing at her intensely as he spoke commanding, “From now on, you’re not allowed to have als alone with another man, you can’t get too close to friends of the opposite sex, and you certainly can’t do anything behind my back.”
