Chapter 29 What You Like and What Likes You

Mu Xinan: "...Don't look at me like that, uncle, it's so scary."

Jiang Xiaoli originally looked quite serious, but now he suddenly straightened his face and looked even more serious.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully."

After a few seconds of silence, he only said this.

In fact, not long ago a reporter took pictures of him eating with Mu Xiangqiao.

The reporter didn't publish the photos, but sent an anonymous letter, scolding him for having an ex-wife who was still raising a mistress outside.

He and his ex-wife are divorced, but it has not been announced yet.

It's not that he's afraid of affecting his career, it's just that he's a rough person and feels that it's okay if his family knows about it, so there's no need to talk about it in a big way.

But I didn’t expect that my private life as a new upstart would be photographed by reporters.

Jiang Xiaoli was worrying about this matter, and it was also because of this matter that she invited Mu Xiangqiao to have dinner today.

He thought that he should make it clear to Mu Xiangqiao first.

Mu Xinan's words just now made him wake up.

If he didn't announce the news that he was divorced, it would probably hurt Mu Xiangqiao.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Mu Xiangqiao smoothed things over and said, "Let's eat first and chat while we eat."

As she spoke, she put a cherry foie gras on Mu Xinan's plate.

"Try this. I think their customers often eat it. It's quite delicious."

Mu Xinan stared at the red cherries on the plate, dumbfounded.

"What's the matter? It doesn't taste good?" Mu Xiangqiao asked.

"I ate this just now." Mu Xinan said.

"Ate?"

"Well," Mu Xinan nodded, "Students from our school are having dinner here."

Mu Xiangqiao then remembered that Mu Xinan was not brought here by her. The mother and daughter met by chance!

She asked softly: "Then are you going back to your classmates?"

Mu Xinan ate the foie gras and asked, "Why, mom is so anxious to drive me away? So that we can have dinner with Uncle Jiang, right?"

Mu Xiangqiao stopped talking, lowered her head, and slapped Mu Xinan's thigh.

"Uncle," Mu Xinan turned to look at Jiang Xiaoli, "no one else knows about your schedule today, right?"

Jiang Xiaoli shook his head, "Except for my driver, there is no one else."

"Okay, let's chat, I'm going to have dinner with my friends!"

Mu Xiangqiao took Mu Xinan's hand and asked, "Will we go back together tonight?"

"Okay, we should end earlier than you, and I will wait for you at the door then."

After saying that, Mu Xinan limped out.

But she didn't go back to her original private room.

Instead, he stood in the corridor and waited.

In front of Mu Xiangqiao, Mu Xinan really didn't know how to tell Jiang Xiaoli the seriousness of this matter.

It's still early, and Mu Xiangqiao hasn't been scolded as a mistress yet, and no one thinks it's unfair for her to associate with Jiang Xiaoli.

But what if, what if someone who knew Jiang Xiaoli secretly took pictures?

Jiang Xiaoli didn't care. He was a nouveau riche and no one would say anything if he was a bit dissolute. On the contrary, there were a group of men who envied him that he could hug him everywhere because he was rich.

But Mu Xiangqiao is different.

Once she was recognized as a mistress.

It will always be despised.

Even if this thing is false, even if she tries her best to explain it.

Mu Xinan didn't want such a thing to happen, so he must analyze the pros and cons with Mu Xiangqiao when he goes back tonight.

Fortunately, there was a sofa in the corridor, so Mu Xinan didn't have to stand.

Sitting on the sofa, she felt a little bored watching the people coming and going downstairs.

I want to listen to music when I'm bored.

But she didn't have any equipment to listen to music.

Mu Xinan had no choice but to hum himself, beating the time with his fingers while humming.

She didn't know how long it took, but it was long enough for her to finish humming several songs, when a shadow suddenly fell above her head.

"What are you doing here?"

It was Shi Yanchen's voice.

When Shi Yanchen noticed that Mu Xinan hadn't come back for a long time, he thought she had fallen into a trap.

After a few more minutes, he thought she was gone.

But think about it, where can she go with a limp?

He felt that the private room was too stuffy, so when he came out to take a breath, he saw a person sitting on the sofa in the corridor, his mouth moving, talking to himself.

Shi Yanchen walked over slowly, and when he got closer, he realized that she was humming.

The voice was small and the lyrics could not be read clearly.

Not nice.

So he interrupted her loudly.

For some reason, when Mu Xinan saw Shi Yanchen, he suddenly thought of those red cherry foie gras on the plate.

She replied in a low voice, "Come out to get some air."

"Bored?" He sat down beside her.

Mu Xinan didn't deny it either, "Well, it's boring, extremely boring."

"You don't like Sheng Yuzhe anymore?" He asked casually.

"Didn't I tell you already?"

"Well, I told you before." But he didn't think it was credible.

When the two were talking, someone passed by, bringing a smell of smoke.

Holding her breath, Mu Xinan stretched out her hand and fanned it several times before dispersing the smell of smoke.

After slapping her, she asked, "Why are you coming out too?"

Shi Yanchen avoided the question and instead asked, "You don't like the smell of cigarettes?"

Sheng Yuzhe can smoke.

Mu Xinan shook his head, "I don't like it, I hate the smell of cigarettes the most!"

Seeing that the hem of the skirt was wrinkled, she straightened it with her hands, trying to smooth it out.

"What if the person you like also smokes?"

"..." She hadn't thought about this question.

Mu Xinan pursed her lips, thought carefully for a few seconds, and smiled: "Then let's find someone else to like."

Shi Yanchen smiled and asked, "Are you so casual?"

Mu Xinan stopped talking.

She wasn't casual either.

"Actually, rather than liking me, I want to find someone who likes me more. I want someone who likes me very much."

Shi Yanchen heard her say this in a very small voice.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on her fingertips.

Her hands were on her knees, her thumbs and index fingers pinching each other constantly.

For a moment, he really believed this sentence.

"Then I wish you to find this person sooner." The boy said lightly.

Mu Xinan looked up at him.

Through the lenses, you can clearly see his warm black eyes.

The two people's eyes met and they were both stunned for a moment.

After recovering, Mu Xinan asked, "What about you? Do you want to find someone who likes you in the future or someone you like?"

This is a topic about love that will be brought up no matter how long it has passed.

When she was in high school in her previous life, Mu Xinan talked about this with her friends in the class in their spare time.

Most people say that when they reach the age where they can fall in love, they must find someone they like.

Only Mu Xinan, she felt that what she liked was not important, what was important was that the other party liked her enough.

Give her lots and lots of love.

After hearing her question, Shi Yanchen asked, "Why can't liking you and liking you happen to the same person at the same time?"

Mu Xinan explained: "Because there is a sequence of things like liking each other. Of course, if two people happen to like each other at the same time, then I have nothing to say."

After finishing speaking, she added: "But this kind of two-way running is only a plot in novels."

Shi Yanchen: "In the novel?"

"That's right, there are so many coincidences in reality. Isn't there a saying—"The coincidence you thought was just an encounter carefully crafted by another person.'"

When Mu Xinan said this, he had already regarded this world as reality.

Later, when she thought about it, she realized that she was already in the game.

"So which one do you choose?"

When Mu Xinan asked this, his tone was extremely seductive, as if he wanted to get something out of the young man's mouth.

When Shi Yanchen was stared at and questioned by her like this, he always felt that he was wasting his time.

He didn't understand why he had to come over, sit down, and pick up what she said.

Like this kind of thing, in his opinion, worthless.

People cannot satisfy themselves and always want to get a sense of belonging and identity from another person.

They are incompetent and hypocritical.

However, such a bad nature has been coated with a layer of sugar called "like".

Mu Xinan waited for a long time but did not receive Shi Yanchen's answer.

While waiting for the answer, she wondered if Shi Yanchen thought her question was childish.

After all, we are still students who have not been severely beaten by society.

But she was inexplicably stubborn today, especially wanting to know Shi Yanchen's choice.

Finally, when Mu Xinan was about to give up——

She heard the young man say in a low voice:

"If I had to choose -"

"Then choose what I like."
