Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Is it a Love Rival?_1
Su Wanxia glanced away awkwardly, “Uh, take a look at these materials, and if there’s any issue, I’ll go back and correct it imdiately. If there’s no problem, then we can finalize the initial design.”
Mu Yingchen had been feeling happy inside, but the mont he heard Su Wanxia’s words, the expression in his eyes instantly darkened. She hadn’t seen him for so long and the first thing she said to him was this; he had thought she ca to see him.
This woman, to think he had people inquire about her every day, and he even lost control a few tis and secretly went to see her!
“You ca just to show
these things?” Mu Yingchen seed to hint at sothing else, and he badly wanted her to say no.
But—–
“Yes, I should have shown you before, but because Xiaolan was getting married and it’s been busy, so it was delayed until now,” Su Wanxia’s gaze flitted around everywhere but wouldn’t et Mu Yingchen’s expression at the mont.
Mu Yingchen’s hope was shattered once more; she really didn’t co to see him because she missed him.
“Then just leave them here for now, I’ll look at them when I have ti,” his voice was slightly cold.
Su Wanxia had thought that he would review the materials today so she could take them and confirm the plans straight away, but then Mu Yingchen responded like this.
“Alright then, I’ll get going first.”
Mu Yingchen hadn’t expected her to really leave like that and suddenly couldn’t maintain his pretense of being upset with her, “I’ll take you ho tonight!”
With her back to him, Su Wanxia furrowed her brow and after a long while, she finally turned to look at him, “I have so things to do after work, I can go back on my own.” She wasn’t making excuses; Fang Shuyuan had already called her in the morning to invite her out for a al in the evening.
In fact, she didn’t want to go, but Fang Shuyuan had ntioned it so many tis she really couldn’t refuse any longer.
Mu Yingchen’s hand holding the pen tightened, then ultimately loosened, and he said indifferently, “Alright then.”
“Yeah, I’m heading down,” Su Wanxia slightly curved her lips and turned around to leave.
At this mont, Mu Yingchen had completely lost his patience for work, feeling extrely irritable. It was as if there was a fire within him, seeking an outlet but rampaging through his body instead.
He picked up the phone, “Keep a close watch on Miss Su tonight, there can’t be any mistakes.”
“Yes!”
After Su Wanxia finished packing up for the day, it was almost seven o’clock. Fang Shuyuan called to say he would pick her up at the company, but she declined.
Arriving at the Arican restaurant they had agreed upon, just as she got out of the car, she saw Fang Shuyuan approaching her with a gentle smile, the very image of a scholar.
“Sorry, got a bit held up in traffic,” Su Wanxia greeted cheerfully.
Fang Shuyuan also smiled, “No problem, I’ve just arrived too. Let’s go in.”
“Okay.”
anwhile, Mu Yingchen had just arrived at the parking lot when his phone began to ring.
“Mr. Mu, Miss Su has entered a restaurant with a man,” the voice on the phone hesitated slightly. The bodyguard had been secretly following Miss Su to ensure her safety, so naturally, he knew how much Mr. Mu cared about this woman. He felt it was urgent to notify Mr. Mu of this developnt.
“Where?” Mu Yingchen’s voice could have frozen over, the woman had left him to go on a date with another man!
The bodyguard reported the address in detail and Mu Yingchen drove off with a stone-cold face.
When he arrived at the Arican restaurant, he suddenly cald down. What was he doing? Was he here to accuse her?
Why had he impulsively co here just because she was having dinner with another man? It was just a al, after all, it didn’t an anything. She had the right to make her own friends. Besides, he had ordered soone to keep an eye on her, what else was there to worry about?
Mu Yingchen sighed, closed his eyes, and leaned back into the seat, fighting hard to control the urge to jump out of the car. He just sat there quietly, waiting, just waiting.
Two hours passed in what felt like a century to him. He had had his fill of the taste of waiting, but tonight’s two hours seed to stretch on longer than ever.
Just when he could no longer bear the tornt and was about to get out of the car to see what was going on, Su Wanxia ca out side by side with a man, chatting and laughing together, appearing very natural and quite familiar with each other.
Mu Yingchen’s eyes narrowed. Wasn’t this man the one he had seen at her house last ti? Who was he? What exactly was his relationship with her?
In fact, Su Wanxia and Fang Shuyuan had only had dinner and chatted casually, discoursing on professional designs and reminiscing about her childhood.
“How about I take you ho?”
“No need, I can get back on my own,” Su Wanxia declined.
Mu Yingchen had rolled down the window a bit when they ca out, and he was parked in a relatively dark spot, with his back to the light. Although not far away, Su Wanxia didn’t notice at all.
“Okay then, take care on your way,” Fang Shuyuan said to Su Wanxia, his expression gentle, hesitating as if he wanted to say more.
“Yeah, you should head back,” Su Wanxia turned to get into her car when Fang Shuyuan suddenly called out to her again.
“Wanxia!”
She turned around, “What’s up?”
“If I hadn’t gone abroad, we definitely would have beco childhood sweethearts, a couple everyone envied,” Fang Shuyuan said, his eyes softly fixated on Su Wanxia.
She was a beautiful rainbow in his mory, a pity only because back then she was too young to rember him in her heart.
Hearing these words, Mu Yingchen felt a storm raging inside him—going abroad? Childhood sweethearts? Boyfriend and girlfriend?
These words stirred such a frenzy of jealousy within him, for he had thought that before she t him, like himself, she had never had any type of contact with the opposite sex.
But the conversation he had just overheard forced him to wonder if they had once been in a relationship.
That sentence from Fang Shuyuan shocked Su Wanxia; she stood in place, speechless for a long ti. What did his words he had just said an?
“Shuyuan, you were also at my birthday party that day,” Su Wanxia implied sothing by her words.
A cold light flashed through Mu Yingchen’s eyes. So, he had been there that day! At the ti, he hadn’t really paid attention to who was at the party.
Fang Shuyuan understood what Su Wanxia ant. He had indeed heard that man’s domineering speech and seen his actions, but “Didn’t you say that day that you two weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend?”
Undeniably, this statent was a heavy blow to Mu Yingchen. His heart clenched tightly—he even began to doubt himself, wondering if Su Wanxia really loved him now!
Before Su Wanxia could speak, Fang Shuyuan continued, “Since that’s the case, may I have a chance?”
Fang Shuyuan looked at Su Wanxia with hopeful eyes. He wanted to protect her like he did when they were children, to cherish her, to love her.
Because he felt she was not happy right now, her smile tinged with a trace of bitterness and helplessness.
He wanted her to smile from the heart, to give her joy, to give her happiness.
Mu Yingchen was struggling to control his hands and feet. He wanted nothing more than to leap out of the car right then and there, pull this woman into his embrace, hide her away from all prying eyes, keep her all to himself, and then beat up that man.
But reason reminded him to wait, to await her answer—
