As soon as Mu Wanqing walked out of the office building, she saw a familiar person waiting on the roadside.
Zhou Yiru.
When their eyes met, Mu Wanqing's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to escape, but couldn't. She could only walk over casually: "Brother Zhou, why are you here?"
"I was passing by and saw that the lights in your studio were still on. I guess you haven't gotten off work yet." Zhou Yiru replied with a smile and opened the car door. "Let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to treat me to dinner last time as a thank you? Just in time, I still have Hungry.”
Mu Wanqing had originally made up her mind not to get in his car, but when this reason was given, she simply couldn't refuse.
He really did a lot of credit for Chen Haoyang's incident!
"Okay, I happen to be hungry too." She still pretended to be casual and generous, and after answering, she got into the car.
Zhou Yiru walked around the front of the car and sat in the cab. When he started the car, he asked concernedly: "Are all the injuries on your body healed?"
"Okay." There was only a little bruise left, but there was no need to say that.
"Where are your ears? Has your hearing recovered? Have you gone for a review?" Zhou Yiru was gentle and meticulous, caring constantly.
"That's fine. I've been busy these days and haven't had time to check again."
"You can't be careless about this matter. No matter how busy you are, you have to go take a look."
"Um."
The two of them got closer, randomly found a restaurant with a good reputation, and walked in together.
Zhou Yiru originally wanted a quieter location, but Mu Wanqing deliberately chose a place in the middle of the hall where people were coming and going in order to avoid suspicion.
"You can listen to the piano here, which is good." Mu Wanqing found a reason for her choice.
In the center of the restaurant, there is an elegant beauty playing the piano. The sound is melodious and pleasing to the eye.
Zhou Yiru smiled and nodded, and the two began to order after they sat down.
After Gu Xinchen finished eating with his friends, he stood up to leave and walked through the hall when he saw Mu Wanqing flipping through the menu.
Looking at the man opposite her again, he seemed familiar - after a moment of recollection, he remembered that it was the boss Zhou whom he met at the billiards hall during the Chinese New Year.
With an interesting smile on his face, Mr. Gu took out his mobile phone, recorded a short video of more than ten seconds without any trace, and sent it to someone with the text - Someone is poaching you.
Mu Wanqing was unaware of the whole process until her cell phone rang when the food was served.
She picked it up and looked at it, then hung up without hesitation.
But it rang again soon.
She simply blocked her number.
"Xiao Qing, let's eat. I feel like you've become tired and thin recently." Zhou Yiru didn't ask who kept calling her, and just used chopsticks to help her serve the dishes.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou. You can eat, I can do it myself." Mu Wanqing quickly picked up the chopsticks and was very polite.
Zhou Yiru didn't like her politeness, but he couldn't help it.
"Are you going back to Xu Zhen during the Qingming Festival to sweep the tombs?" Zhou Yiru suddenly asked as they ate quietly.
Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that time was moving too fast, and it was almost time to sweep the tomb during the Qingming Festival.
"I...should go back." She goes back every Qingming Festival to visit her grandparents and father.
It would be very unfilial to say that I didn’t come back for the Chinese New Year this time.
"I thought you didn't go back during the Qingming Festival to hide from your aunt." Zhou Yiru seemed to mention it unintentionally.
Mu Wanqing's hand holding the chopsticks paused. Thinking of that woman, she felt sick again.
I didn’t go back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year because I was afraid of meeting that woman.
But always hiding is not an option.
She smiled and said casually: "You can't avoid what is coming. I can't avoid her and stay away from her for the rest of my life."
"Then when you set a good date, I will go back with you, so that if we meet, with me here, the situation will not be too embarrassing."
"Okay..." Mu Wanqing agreed, but in her heart she thought that she would never go back with him.
She thought that in the recent period, if she went back early to pay homage, if she missed the peak, she might also miss that woman.
After finishing the meal, Mu Wanqing called the waiter to pay the bill.
But Zhou Yiru suddenly jumped in and said, "I'll invite you today. You can wait until next time."
He obviously did this on purpose so that he could find a reason to have dinner with Mu Wanqing next time.
Mu Wanqing also understood what he was thinking and firmly refused: "Brother Zhou, as promised, I will treat you to this meal. You saved me last time, so I should..."
"Madam, sir, please stop arguing. Someone has already paid the bill for you." The waiter interrupted with a smile when he saw them being polite back and forth.
Mu Wanqing was stunned, turned to look at the waiter, and said in surprise: "Did someone pay the bill for us?"
"Yes, that's that gentleman." The waiter raised his hand and faced them at a 90-degree angle.
Mu Wanqing took a look, her eyebrows suddenly twitched, and her face froze.
Wen Zhan.
When did he come?
How did he find it?
Did he press the radar on himself? Or send someone to follow?
When Wen Zhan saw them both looking at him, he elegantly raised the red wine in his glass and gestured from the distance.
Mu Wanqing was shocked and angry. She stood up and subconsciously rushed up to grab the wine glass from the man's hand and splashed him in the face!
"Xiao Qing!" But as soon as she stood up, Zhou Yiru grabbed her.
Mu Wanqing forced herself to calm down, took deep breaths again and again, then grabbed her bag and left.
Zhou Yiru glanced at Wen Zhan and quickly stood up to follow him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Mu Wanqing walked out of the restaurant, she was met by Aunt Zhou and Yuesao, who were holding their brother and sister.
"Madam!" Aunt Zhou greeted her happily when she saw her.
Mu Wanqing paused in her steps, all her emotions suddenly stopped, and there were only two children left in her eyes.
Aunt Zhou hugged her sister. When the little girl saw her mother, she immediately cheered, waving her little hands and shouting "Ahhhhh".
Before she could react, the little girl had already jumped out of Aunt Zhou's arms.
Mu Wanqing could only catch it quickly.
Zhou Yiru looked at this scene and felt like vomiting a mouthful of blood!
He will also use this trick! Use children as bargaining chips to blackmail!
While he was angry, Wen Zhan walked steadily and slowly to catch up with them.
"We've finished eating. Let's go home." He passed Zhou Yiru and walked directly to Mu Wanqing. He stretched out his long arms and pulled the woman into his arms.
"Let go!" Mu Wanqing scolded in a low voice and crooked her elbow.
Wen Zhan smiled lightly, handsome, elegant, and charming, "Stop making trouble, the children will go to your place tonight."
He pretended to be intimate, all for Zhou Yiru to see.
Zhou Yiru clenched his fists, and if it weren't for the crowds coming and going at the door of the restaurant, he would have been unable to resist taking action.
Fortunately, Mu Wanqing still remembered his existence. She turned around with her daughter in her arms and said with an apologetic and embarrassed look: "Brother Zhou, please go back. I have to take care of the children."
Zhou Yiru's mouth moved, but he hesitated to speak. He smiled and then nodded: "Okay, if you need anything, call me."
"I……"
"Mr. Zhou, she'll be fine if she's with me. Thank you for your trouble." Wen Zhan replied lightly before the woman could speak.
Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes at him.
Zhou Yiru was also speechless, and then said politely: "Her biggest misfortune is meeting you, and you still have the nerve to say this."
"Really?" Wen Zhan was thick-skinned and not angry at all. Instead, he looked at the woman beside him tenderly and affectionately, and asked in a low voice, "Is it unfortunate to have a child with me?"
