Eventually, Lin Yixun still bought that black wallet. As she was leaving the mall, Leng Yixiu’s call ca through.
"Where are you?"
"Global Mall."
"I’ll pick you up in a bit."
"No need, I’ll take the subway back myself." Lin Yixun coolly refused.
There was a mont of silence on the other end, then a man’s calm voice sounded, "Alright, be careful on the way."
"Mm."
After hanging up, Mu Yi leaned in closer and asked, "Was that President Leng?"
Seeing Lin Yixun nod, Mu Yi asked again, "Is there so kind of misunderstanding between you and President Leng? I feel like you’re pretty cold towards him."
Lin Yixun’s eyes flickered. Even the simple-minded Mu Yi could see there was a problem between them; it seed like she wasn’t doing a good job as his mistress.
"Between him and ..." Lin Yixun started to speak, but swallowed her words. She raised her eyes to Mu Yi and softly asked, "Mu Yi, what kind of person do you think I am?"
"You, well... how should I say this? You give off a very cool impression at first, but it doesn’t feel like your true self. I always felt that beneath your cool deanor, there’s another you that you’re suppressing hard. But, for so reason, when I see you, it’s like I see another version of myself. I have this feeling that deep down, you’re a lot like . Simple, carefree, and stubborn to a fault."
Lin Yixun was slightly surprised. The person Mu Yi described was exactly who she was five years ago. She never thought that one day, she’d be seen through so clearly by a woman she’d only t twice.
Suddenly, she realized that Mu Yi, though simple and kind, wasn’t oblivious. Her thoughts were clear.
Lin Yixun gazed deeply at the woman in front of her, wanting, for the first ti, to genuinely be her friend. But soone like her, did she deserve it?
"Mu Yi, actually, the relationship between and Leng Yixiu isn’t what you think." Almost instinctively, Lin Yixun suddenly wanted to confide in soone.
"What do you an?" Mu Yi blinked and asked.
Lin Yixun opened her mouth, but her sense of reason slowly returned. If Mu Yi knew about her disgraceful identity, how would she react? Given her character, she’d probably turn her back on her imdiately and never speak to her again, right?
"Nothing, it’s nothing." In the end, Lin Yixun didn’t have the courage to reveal the truth.
After shopping, Mu Yi took Lin Yixun to a night market not far from the bustling city center. As night fell, the market gradually beca lively. This place was a paradise for food lovers, and Mu Yi was one of them. She preferred street stalls over high-end restaurants, especially one skewer shop by the roadside.
"Boss, order please!"
"Coming, coming!" The boss handed a nu to Mu Yi with a smile, "Miss, what would you like? Everything’s on here."
Mu Yi took the nu, skillfully checking off items, while asking, "Yixun, what do you like to eat?"
"I’m not picky, I’ll eat anything."
"You’re too easygoing! I’ll order then." With that, Mu Yi ordered several more skewers.
When all the dishes were served, Lin Yixun couldn’t help but be surprised, "Can the two of us eat all this?"
"Well... I used to have the nickna ’Big Stomach King.’" Mu Yi smiled sheepishly.
Lin Yixun found that although Mu Yi was Fei Yichen’s wife, she wasn’t stiff like typical wealthy wives. She lived her life vividly, so it was no wonder Fei Yichen, who dominated both the black and white worlds, treasured her like a gem.
Mu Yi truly had a comfortably endearing quality about her.
