Several girls were sitting in a café, openly discussing Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin, who were in the elevator.

“Bang!” Just then, the sound of a coffee cup being forcefully slammed onto the table echoed. Coffee spilled from the cup, and everyone involuntarily stepped back a little.

“Sorry, my hand slipped, and I lost my grip,” Jiang Linyan coldly glanced at the chattering girls at her table, her brows furrowing, radiating an intimidating aura.

“Linyan, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? You don’t look so good,” a sycophant sitting beside Jiang Linyan quickly spoke, trying to please her.

However, Jiang Linyan, being in a bad mood, took the attempts to please her as a reason to vent.

“Where do you see that I’m feeling unwell? If you can’t tell, go check your eyes.” Jiang Linyan’s voice was icy as she mocked those who showed concern, then pointed towards the café door.

“You’ve had your coffee. You can leave now.”

Seeing Jiang Linyan being so unreasonable, the others at the table were stunned.

Before they could react, Jiang Linyan irritably stood up, “If you won’t leave, I will.” She grabbed her purse and walked out of the café without looking back.

Watching her storm off, the others exchanged glances, then sighed.

“They say serving a king is like serving a tiger. Being with Miss Jiang feels like that. Isn’t she supposed to be quite nice? Why does she seem so moody lately?”

“I don’t know. She used to be gentle and elegant, but she’s completely different today. Maybe she’s unwell?”

“Maybe. Anyway, let’s not gossip. We still have to move in this circle, and saying too much might lead to misunderstandings.”

“Let’s go shopping then. I heard the luxury stores have new arrivals. Let’s see if there’s anything we like. Miss Jiang’s birthday is coming up, so we should get some gifts.”

“Yes, her birthday is soon. Gifts are important!” They agreed and left the café, heading towards the luxury brand stores upstairs.

Jiang Linyan left the café and took the elevator upstairs, remembering the floor where Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin stopped. She wanted to know what they were up to.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi. The two were standing outside the cinema, seemingly picking a movie.

Mu Chengxi held a cup of milk tea in one hand and a bucket of popcorn in the other, slightly lowering his head, discussing something gently with Wen Xin.

The sight of such affection stung Jiang Linyan’s eyes. Her hands clenched tightly, and she turned and quickly walked away.

She told herself to be patient. One day, Mu Chengxi would grow tired of Wen Xin, and then she would have her chance.

Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi took a long time choosing a movie but found none that Wen Xin wanted to see. In the end, Mu Chengxi smiled indulgently and left the mall with Wen Xin, arranging to meet Mu Chengxu downtown for hotpot.

When Mu Chengxu arrived, Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin had already ordered. Wen Xin sat in a chair playing games while Mu Chengxi watched her play.

“You two left the old house?” Mu Chengxu spoke first as she approached, followed by an uninvited guest.

Hearing Mu Chengxu’s voice, Mu Chengxi looked up from Wen Xin’s phone and towards her. He was surprised to see Yuan Junye with her but nodded slightly in greeting.

“Did you go to see a movie?”

Mu Chengxu was surprised when she saw the milk tea and popcorn beside Wen Xin. She always thought Wen Xin’s habits were quite old-fashioned and didn’t like young people’s activities except gaming.

“No, we went to the cinema, but there weren’t any movies that Wen Xin wanted to see, so we left. You two…”

Mu Chengxi looked at the man opposite him, surprised to see him and Mu Chengxu together—neither was the type to randomly dine together.

“Today, Miss Mu came to discuss cooperation with our company, and since it was lunchtime. I invited her to lunch. When I got your message, we came together.”

Yuan Junye explained earnestly, his gaze sincere, making Mu Chengxi believe him.

Finishing her game, Wen Xin put her phone away and looked at Mu Chengxu and Yuan Junye, greeting them casually.

“Big Sis, I didn’t order much. You and Yuan Junye can add anything you want. Mu Chengxi’s treating.”

She handed the ordering tablet to Mu Chengxu, then lazily leaned her head on Mu Chengxi’s shoulder, raising her brows at Yuan Junye.

Seeing Wen Xin’s challenging look, Yuan Junye quickly changed the topic.

“Master Xi, did you hear? A new racetrack opened in the western suburbs a week ago. Are you interested? I saw a Black Gold card; we could check it out.”

Yuan Junye avoided looking at Wen Xin, using the conversation with Mu Chengxi to escape her gaze.

Wen Xin’s cold lips curled slightly, raising an eyebrow at Yuan Junye, “Sure, let’s go after dinner…”

Hearing Wen Xin’s tone, Yuan Junye felt his temple throb, realizing he had forgotten her special hobby. That could be troublesome.

“What’s the matter, President Yuan? No time or inconvenient?”

“Uh…”

Yuan Junye didn’t dare look at Wen Xin, realizing she was causing trouble. He wanted to escape but couldn’t. What should he do?

Mu Chengxi seemed to sense Wen Xin’s odd behavior, turning to look at her face resting on his shoulder.

However, as he turned, the server brought their food, and Wen Xin moved away.

They started eating, and Wen Xin returned to normal. While caring for Wen Xin, Mu Chengxi casually chatted with Yuan Junye about Beijing’s current economic situation and his future direction.
