What Mu Siyin said to Shi Beiyu did not sit right with him. There was a small spark of fury in his eyes as he looked at her.
Noticing that something about his gaze was off, Mu Siyin let go of him hastily. She got up and told him, "Since I've already broken off my engagement with him, can I go back now?"
She still owed her cousin an explanation.
Shi Beiyu felt annoyed that Mu Siyin wanted to leave so quickly. "What do you have to do?"
Mu Siyin blinked and grinned. "I've just graduated. There are so many things that I need to do when I go back!"
Shi Beiyu stared at her for two seconds but failed to detect her lie. So, he gave up and nodded. "Fine, I'll get someone to send you back."
Mu Siyin immediately waved her hands. "No need, I can go back on my own…"
She then walked towards Shi Beiyu, cupped her hands around his handsome face, and kissed him. After that, she swiveled around and left.
Sat on the sofa, Shi Beiyu lifted a hand slowly and touched the part of his face where Mu Siyin had kissed. He chuckled to himself. "What a flirt…"
It did not take long before Yan Ze entered the room cautiously. When he saw his young master sitting on the sofa and grinning to himself like a lunatic, his jaw nearly dropped in shock!
Good heavens!
He was obviously lovestruck!
As if realizing that Yan Ze was present, Shi Beiyu kept his grin and asked without turning his head. "Has she left?"
Yan Ze nodded. "Mm, she hailed a cab."
Shi Beiyu nodded without saying anything else.
Yan Ze could not help himself from inquiring, "Young Master, Miss Mu is looking for ways to save Mu Corporation. Aren't you going to stop her?"
Shi Beiyu lowered his gaze and adjusted his shirt. He said wanly, "If she wants to save them, let her be."
Yan Ze felt troubled. "But the madam is hell-bent on crushing Mu Corporation. If you don't step in, nobody else can save them."
Shi Beiyu laughed slyly. "I'm waiting for her to appease me."
Yan Ze was at a loss for words.
Shameless!
So shameless!
Then again, he really wanted to know what the deal was between their young master and Miss Mu!
After hailing a cab, Mu Siyin called Lu Jingchen.
At the moment, Lu Jingchen was still bothered by what occurred. When Mu Siyin phoned him, he took her call and whined, "I must say, Yinyin, what the hell were you doing? I've finally persuaded President Zhang, yet you went on a date with Shi Beiyu… I've busted my *ss for nothing…"
"I'm so sorry, cuz. It was all my fault, alright? I didn't expect to bump into him at the hotel's entrance. He wanted me to accompany him for lunch and there was nothing I could've done."
"Alright, alright, I made up an excuse to President Zhang and he said we can meet up again tonight."
"Tonight?" Mu Siyin was delighted.
"Mm."
"Where?"
"Beauties After Dark."
Mu Siyin winced. Why was it Beauties After Dark again? That was Shi Beiyu's turf. What should she do if she saw him again?
"Is there a problem, Yinyin?" There was no response from Mu Siyin, so Lu Jingchen thought it was suspicious.
"Oh, nothing, nothing. We'll see each other tonight."
"Good, don't flake on us this time. Or else, I won't be able to help you again."
Mu Siyin then laughed with her eyes half-opened. "Don't worry, cuz. I'll be sure to arrive on time."
"Mm."
After hanging up, Mu Siyin told the driver to take a detour and send her back to the Mu family villa.
Mu Xingyu was at home when Mu Siyin got home.
Before she could step foot inside, she heard a series of sobs and wails coming from the house. It was heartrending and sad...
