Mu Beiyao feigned a pout as she looked at Su Xing. "Bao Er, you don’t love me anymore! You used to take me everywhere, and you knew my every move. But now, things have really changed!"
"Once you have a man, you forget your best friend. You’re such a guy who forgets friends for the sake of love!"
Su Xing felt helpless as she listened to Mu Beiyao's complaints. However, hearing her words seemed to trigger some unspoken thoughts in both Su Xing and Shen Jingyu.
Shen Jingyu deliberately positioned himself between the two women, creating a barrier between them.
Mu Beiyao’s nostrils flared in surprise. She glanced at the silent Shen Jingyu and then at her friend, who still hadn’t managed to hide her chilly demeanor. What was going on?
Su Xing sighed in exasperation. "Seriously! You should tone down the nonsense. My mom even mentioned it out of the blue, as if she suspects that you and I are… you know."
Mu Beiyao was taken aback. "What? But do we really have that kind of vibe? I mean, when I don’t hear from you for a day or can’t see you, I start to feel anxious!"
Mu Beiyao spoke earnestly.
Shen Jingyu shot her a hellish glare, which only confirmed her suspicions.
Su Xing could tell from her friend's expression that she was doing it on purpose.
She decisively exposed Mu Beiyao’s true nature: "You’re just dying to gossip! You can’t wait even a moment to hear all the juicy details!"
"Hey! Don’t expose me! Just look at your man’s rich expressions; it’s so entertaining!"
Mu Beiyao was truly a tease when riled up.
Shen Jingyu had never noticed before that his sister could be such a jokester.
Indeed, Shen Jingyu would never admit to being related to Mu Beiyao in any way. His tolerance was solely for his brother and Su Xing's sake.
Mu Beiming unexpectedly realized that Shen Jingyu was entirely different around Su Xing.
Su Xing was genuinely hungry; after only a few words, she began to feast heartily. By the time she finished, Mu Beiyao gave her a thumbs-up.
"Wow! You must have really worn yourself out yesterday; this meal is your recovery, right? Come on, drink some lamb soup! Let me serve some for your man too; I added goji berries for extra nourishment!"
Su Xing shot her friend an annoyed look, thinking about how her mind was filled with such trivial matters!
Mu Beiyao picked up on the warning signs and quickly composed herself. "Alright, now that we’re all full, let me tell you something that might spoil your appetite!"
Her gaze fixed on Su Xing. "Han Da Actress replied; she’ll come to your office tomorrow at five-thirty."
"They said this is already the biggest concession. We can't discuss serious matters while your department is in chaos."
Su Xing instinctively let out a cold snort, thinking to himself that he could create a stir anywhere he went. But the truth was, she really had that kind of influence! Over ninety percent of our department's staff are her fans!
That was indeed a fact; Shen Ruoxi's acting skills were recognized worldwide.
Su Xing then asked, "Where are you meeting?"
Mu Beiyao flashed a charming smile. "Of course, it's at the brand building! Don't worry, sister, I understand you. You can't let your rival figure out your cards!"
Su Xing smiled wryly. "You really have some ideas in that head of yours."
The two sisters exchanged knowing glances, leaving the two men present feeling helpless.
Mu Beiming raised an eyebrow at his good friend. "Aren't you going to provide backup? If Han Young Lady sees your sister-in-law tomorrow, won't she just explode on the spot?"
Shen Jingyu replied confidently, "Do you think your sister-in-law is a little bunny?"
When she was up to her tricks, they all acted like obedient boys.
Su Xing coldly snorted at this. "Trust me, my combat power is urgent enough for you to rush over!"
Afterward, it was time for Mu Beiyao to gather all the information thoroughly. Meanwhile, Mu Beiming quietly reported some matters to Shen Jingyu.
At first, Su Xing perked up his ears to listen, but soon realized that what he was saying had nothing to do with him and that he didn't quite understand those business terms anyway. So he decided to focus on his own conversation.
By the time the four of them left and headed home, it was already ten o'clock at night.
All along the way, Shen Jingyu remained silent, which inexplicably dampened Su Xing's mood.
He had become so quiet throughout the evening that it felt like he had reverted to his old self.
Unbeknownst to him, Shen Jingyu was deep in thought on one hand while also wanting to achieve this very effect. The concern from a lover always brought warmth.
Moreover, with Su Xing around, it definitely stirred up her deeply rooted protective instincts toward him!
Feeling restless, Su Xing glanced at the route and couldn't help but ask, "You didn't go to the office today, did you? How did things turn out?"
"No need to do anything else," Shen Jingyu replied nonchalantly.
He had entered Su Xing's life so quickly and boldly announced himself in front of everyone. The most dominant aspect was that Su Xing felt as if she could see him at any moment.
Even in her dreams, the figure of that man lingered.
After hearing his words, Su Xing glanced at her phone. There were some negative comments, but the overwhelming majority were blessings, and the heat of the situation had long been overshadowed by other news. This incident only caused a stir for an afternoon. Compared to the harsh criticism Su Xing had faced before, this was nothing trivial.
When they got home, in the elevator, Shen Jingyu was uncharacteristically quiet. Not only was his expression different, but even his silhouette seemed to exude a sense of loneliness.
Finally, when the elevator doors opened, Su Xing hesitated in her steps. Should she invite him over? Maybe talk to him a bit more?
Shen Jingyu's heart raced with anticipation and nervousness. Did she let her guard down around him? Was she really considering inviting him in for a chat?
Both of them hesitated, like two young people who had just met and felt a budding attraction but were too shy to speak up. In reality, their feelings had already surpassed that superficial stage.
In the end, it was Su Xing who broke the silence first. "I have things to do tomorrow; you should get some rest."
Shen Jingyu's expression visibly darkened.
His plan had failed; he didn't accept her invitation.
With a heavy heart, Shen Jingyu exited the elevator, heading in the opposite direction from Su Xing. If he turned back now and pulled her into his arms, would he be met with resistance?
At that moment, he realized how hesitant he was when it came to pursuing love.
He was so close to taking that final step but found himself overthinking and hesitating.
As Su Xing opened her door, it felt as if she slowed down her movements, not hearing any sound from behind for quite some time.
Inside her mind, she battled with herself before finally turning around to say, "Don't wake up too early tomorrow. I’ll get up at seven; come over at eight for breakfast."
A bright smile finally appeared on Shen Jingyu's face.
But he didn't turn around; he merely responded quietly, "Okay."
Su Xing hurried back into her room, biting her lip and clenching her fists. What was she doing?!
Inviting him to breakfast without a second thought? Was this how one should act when trying to create distance?
Her thoughts were so chaotic that when she instinctively prepared two Western breakfasts in the kitchen the next morning while wearing her loungewear, she scolded herself for not thinking clearly.
She even forgot that it was Sunday—a day off—and Han Ruoxi had made plans with her at the office. Would she wait until after work?
