The dining table for four people actually felt crowded.
Mu Wenhao's eyes fell on the two wine glasses, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Do you still drink?"
The completely questioning tone once again expressed the familiarity between him and Ye Ning.
Ye Ning glanced at him and replied perfunctorily: "It's no problem to have a drink with the family."
When she mentioned the word family, she even increased her voice to remind Mu Wenhao.
Of course Mu Wenhao could hear it, and just because he could hear it, the discomfort in his heart became more and more obvious.
Gu Feng noticed the undercurrent between them, "Yen Ning, how did you and Boss Mu meet?"
Although Gu Feng did not know Mu Wenhao, he could judge the person's identity and temperament by his appearance, speech, behavior, and dress.
Such people seem unlikely to appear in their life circles.
When Ye Ning faced Gu Feng, he turned into a completely kind face again.
"We met by chance and had some interactions later on."
Of course she couldn't tell Gu Feng that she went to the Red Sea to sell songs to make money. This meeting was so sudden that even if her head was spinning fast, she couldn't think of a better explanation.
And no matter what kind of rhetoric, as long as Mu Wenhao doesn't want to cooperate, he will definitely expose her, which will only make Gu Feng more suspicious.
Gu Feng heard such ambiguous statement and did not continue to ask.
Unlike his consideration, Mu Wenhao immediately showed dissatisfaction and repeated what Ye Ning just said.
"A chance encounter? Some intersection?"
Then he sneered, "I thought we could be considered good friends after all!"
He didn't even want to use the word friend to define their relationship, but he didn't directly tell them about their past, as he was already taking Ye Ning's emotions into consideration.
The muscles at the corners of Ye Ning's mouth kept twitching as she glared at Mu Wenhao.
Mu Wenhao knew that she wanted to hide things in the Red Sea, but now he provoked her again and again, which was obviously intentional.
"Boss Mu, you are really good at joking, but I can't reach you."
There was obvious displeasure in the tight voice.
Of course Mu Wenhao could hear it, and he also understood Ye Ning's temperament. If she really pushed her to the edge, he would probably do anything, but in the end he restrained himself a little.
"As the saying goes, many friends lead to many paths. I hope you won't dislike me."
Ye Ning was really too lazy to talk to him.
Mu Wenhao didn't care and focused on Gu Feng again.
"I have often heard Ye Ning mention Captain Gu before, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to meet him now. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to have a drink with Captain Gu?"
Gu Feng's eyes were deep, but there wasn't much emotion on his face.
"OK."
After speaking, he took the initiative to fill two wine glasses.
Ye Ning wanted to stop him, but looking at Gu Feng and then at Mu Wenhao, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Neither of these two people is worry-free.
Mu Wenhao picked up the wine glass, bumped it heavily with Gu Feng's glass, and then both drank at the same time.
A full glass of white wine, not a drop left.
Mu Wenhao sneered: "Captain Gu is such a good drinker."
Gu Feng put down his cup calmly and said, "Boss Mu is not bad either."
Ye Ning gave Meng Jiaorui a look, and Meng Jiaorui immediately understood and wanted to distract the two of them.
"Everyone, don't just drink. Eat more food."
While saying hello, he picked up clean bowls and chopsticks and wanted to pick up food for Mu Wenhao.
However, Mu Wenhao's next words made the atmosphere at the table extremely awkward.
“When have I ever eaten someone else’s scraps?”
These words were vented to Meng Jiaorui, but they were full of implications, making Meng Jiaorui break out in cold sweat and feel at a loss.
At this time, Ye Ning waved his hand to call the waiter, and said grandly: "Bring out all your specialty dishes."
The waiter went down immediately to make arrangements.
Mu Wenhao looked deeply at Ye Ning. Sure enough, she was the one who understood his thoughts best.
Ye Ning stood up from his seat, "We've already eaten, so we won't accompany Boss Mu. Fresh food will be served soon, so you two can take advantage of it."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Gu Feng: "Let's go."
Gu Feng nodded cooperatively and had no intention of arguing with Mu Wenhao.
Mu Wenhao's expression turned extremely sad, but he did not try to persuade them to stay.
He could only watch helplessly as Ye Ning and Gu Feng left together, the joints of the five fingers holding the wine glass turning ferociously white.
Meng Jiaorui didn't even dare to take a breath. Staying here would only make Mu Wenhao angrier, but she didn't dare to urge Mu Wenhao to leave. She could only wait carefully for Mu Wenhao's next reaction.
She thought Mu Wenhao would get angry, but she didn't expect that after a moment, Mu Wenhao calmed down his anger and stood up from his seat slowly.
When the dishes that had just been prepared were put on the table, Mu Wenhao didn't even look at them again, and walked away with long strides.
Meng Jiaorui fully cooperated with his actions and quickly stood up and left.
After Ye Ning and Gu Feng walked out of the hotel, the cold wind blew and their minds instantly became clearer.
I scolded Mu Wenhao hundreds of times in my heart.
I was having a peaceful meal, but then I met the god of plague.
"Don't worry about that person just now. He has some background and has always been arrogant. You probably won't have the chance to meet again in the future."
Taking the initiative to explain to Gu Feng, this was definitely not slandering Mu Wenhao, but telling the truth.
After what happened just now, Ye Ning was already planning to make it clear to Mu Wenhao.
"Are you familiar with him?" Gu Feng asked seemingly calmly. At least what the person wanted to show was that they were familiar with each other.
Ye Ning actually hesitated about this question. She no longer wanted to lie to Gu Feng, but she had no way to tell the truth.
Her silence caused Gu Feng's voice to ring again, but this time with a hint of helplessness.
"If you don't want to say it, just pretend I didn't ask."
Ye Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gu Feng, "Thank you."
They had made an agreement before that they would not interfere in each other's lives and social interactions, so Gu Feng's lack of questioning was normal for Ye Ning, and she felt that Gu Feng didn't really care about it.
Gu Feng's expression was complicated. He knew very well that a lot of things must have happened to Ye Ning during his absence in the past few months, and he had made many new friends, but he had not participated in any of these.
He didn't care about such things before, but now he felt an indescribable feeling of depression in his heart.
From the corner of his eye, he looked at Ye Ning, who was walking beside her as if nothing had happened. His feelings towards her at this moment seemed really different from before.
