Su Xing's thoughts turned to dealing with the big gossip next to her. "How much experience do you have, being single and all?" she thought. "This is called being clear-headed! Just think about it—before marriage, don't end up with a crying baby, filling the house with the smell of milk mixed with urine."
As she was thinking, Mu Beiyao spoke up, and Shen Jingyu entered the room, having changed clothes, followed by several service staff carrying food boxes.
Taking a deep breath, Su Xing said, "Is that the spicy hot pot from Wangyue Tower?"
"Can Wangyue Tower deliver now?" Mu Beiyao noticed the food boxes as well. There was no doubt that this was a result of financial prowess! Being friends with the Dominant CEO really had its perks!
Mu Beiyao and Su Xing both stood up and walked to the dining table. As Su Xing passed by Shen Jingyu, she kept her head down, feeling shy and not wanting to meet his gaze; her body still ached from last night.
Shen Jingyu noticed her shyness, and the smile in his eyes was impossible to suppress. What had happened yesterday? Xiangyi had also been missing for an entire night!
"I can track your location to ensure your safety," he said. "But that guy disappeared without a trace. He claimed he went to rescue you from danger, yet I still can't get in touch with him?"
While waiting for the service staff to set the table, Mu Beiyao started chatting with Su Xing. Suddenly, Su Xing smiled and said, "She must have gotten herself into trouble!"
Mu Beiyao raised an eyebrow. "That can't be! Her family arranged for eight bodyguards for her. What kind of danger could she be in? She probably went off for some excitement!"
"Speaking of excitement," Su Xing continued, "do you remember that officer I told you about? The one with the surname Rong?"
She boldly discussed his friend right in front of Shen Jingyu. "You know, he has a good demeanor but is a bit cold—looks quite cunning and sly."
Before Su Xing could say more, Shen Jingyu sat next to her and suddenly spoke up. "When did you start having so many opinions about Rong Xigu? He's only been here for over half a month; how could he cause any trouble?"
"Isn't he here every day visiting you in the hospital?" Shen Jingyu began to interrogate.
Mu Beiyao watched with amusement; she was thoroughly entertained! This scene was truly delightful! She wasn't just a bystander; as the male lead's cousin and the female lead's close friend, she was front-row for all the gossip.
Su Xing smiled at Shen Jingyu's rising temper. Had she really gained a younger brother? His attitude was unusually clingy!
"Wasn't he arranged by you? Isn't he just following orders?"
With this reminder, Shen Jingyu gritted his teeth. Had he just shot himself in the foot?
Su Xing watched Shen Jingyu with a relaxed demeanor, while Shen Jingyu silently served him soup and dishes.
Mu Beiyao nearly burst out laughing at the sight of the defeated Shen Jingyu. They called him the cold-hearted man, the domineering type, but that was all nonsense. The real ultimate goal in life was the charming Karami by her sister's side!
Mu Beiyao and Su Xing continued discussing their friends' romantic possibilities. Just as they were deep in conversation, unexpectedly, two figures approached from opposite directions.
Shen Jingyu was leisurely eating when his phone rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, he smirked wickedly. "Hello, neighbor," he said inexplicably before getting up to open the door, letting in a flamboyant man.
Oh, here he comes! Dressed in military attire, he looked incredibly handsome!
Mu Beiyao scrutinized Rong Xigu, who was anything but low-key. He had a well-defined physique and striking features—an archetype of someone from a prestigious background. His cold and hard aura stood out prominently, adding to his appeal.
Overall, he was definitely Lu Xiangyi's type! But Mu Beiyao couldn't help but question whether this guy could handle their little wild girl. People like him often had very conventional thinking and high-end actions; how could he possibly keep up with someone like Lu Xiangyi who thrived on excitement?
Su Xing disagreed, continuing to eat while saying, "Every pot has its lid. Fate is predetermined; who knows when you might meet someone you can't resist—a true king!"
The thought of being dominated by some guy sent a shiver down Mu Beiyao's spine; that was definitely not a life she could live!
"You know what? I can no longer come and go freely in this house," she remarked dryly as she watched Shen Jingyu welcome their guest as if it were his own home.
"My pure female gathering place can be relocated!" Su Xing added, noting that she had more than one property.
Mu Beiyao gave her a thumbs-up with a hint of admiration. "Bao Er, you adapt so quickly!"
"Rong Xigu is here! Make yourself at home; do you want something to eat? We just started," Su Xing said naturally, treating him like an old friend.
Shen Jingyu's expression darkened inexplicably! He shot a fierce glare at Rong Xigu. The murderous intent was so palpable that it was hard for Rong Xigu to ignore.
"Ahem, sister-in-law, you're too polite! Then I'll have a bowl too?" Rong Xigu said with a half-smile as he watched Shen Jingyu reluctantly serve him rice.
The sound of the rice bowl clattering against the tempered glass table echoed in the room.
Mu Beiyao nearly spat out her food, laughing.
Jealousy is in the air! The fun of a younger man romance has arrived!
Rong Xigu, let me introduce you. This is my friend Mu Beiyao, whom I share with Xiang Yi.
I know, Miss Mu. Rong Xigu said seriously as he extended his hand for a handshake.
Mu Beiyao chuckled, "I wish you success in winning over Xiang Yi."
Rong Xigu raised an eyebrow and replied, "I already have."
Did Su Xing really move that quickly? Is that what she meant by winning over? Just last night?
Knock knock knock! "Su A Xing! It's me!"
Su Xing put down the bowl in her hands. Did she come chasing after me already?
"I'm here! Didn't you figure out the password?"
"I don't remember your ambiguous password with your man. Open the door!"
The girl was about to be driven mad by that dog of a man. Today, I swear I will drink myself into a stupor.
That dog of a man! I must curse him until his ears burn. I wish him impotence in this life and to be reborn as a woman in the next, becoming my little wife. I'll torment him to death!
As Su Xing's door opened amidst Lu Xiangyi's curses, a girl burst in wearing denim overalls and a white cotton t-shirt.
Her dark blue hair was styled into a high ponytail, and she wore a pair of canvas shoes favored by teenage girls.
In short, Lu Xiangyi's outfit screamed high school vibes.
Su Xing wanted to say, where did you dig up those high school clothes? They look a bit small and ill-fitting now!
Lu Xiangyi stormed into the room, sizing up Su Xing with an annoyed expression: "Did you get drained last night? You look like you've been sucked dry!"
Mu Beiyao in the room burst out laughing again; she was surrounded by such interesting people!
"Get me something to eat, Sister! I feel drained too!"
Before Su Xing could feel embarrassed, Lu Xiangyi was already stunned by the man before her while talking nonsense.
