Xi Xiaye was surprised and almost could not react. After a while, she looked over to Mu Yuchen, who was still sitting there calmly with a smile on his face.
The next round, Xi Xiaye was “it” and it was Mu Yuchen’s turn to make a request.
“Bro Chen, make her kiss you right here!”
“No, Bro Chen, make Sister-in-law confess to you!”
“Chen, I think you should just ask Xiaye to give you a kiss!”
...
Xi Xiaye’s face looked a little strained as she looked at the man beside her, shooting him a warning glare.
Mu Yuchen’s expression was gentle. He grinned as he flicked the card with his finger. Then, he looked into Xi Xiaye’s eyes and asked in his deep voice, “Truth or dare?”
Stunned, she could not find the right words to say as she stared at him squarely in the eyes. After a while, she replied, “Truth...”
“Up until this point, who do you think’s better: him or me?” He asked quietly.
“Of course, you’re better!” Naturally, Xi Xiaye knew what he was asking about. It was not a difficult question at all. He was the one who treated her better anyway, so she replied almost instantly.
Mu Yuchen was satisfied with her answer. He nodded as the smile on his face grew wider. It was a pass.
Su Chen and the others were horrified.
“What? That’s it?”
“That’s obviously cheating, isn’t it?”
“No way. Do it again! Again! We’ll make sure they get it again!”
The whole bunch then started penalizing the couple. They used all sorts of tricks to catch Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye, and tried to ask her all kinds of embarrassing questions.
“How many times did you guys do it the first time with my brother?”
“I think it was two times.”
“It’s three!”
...
They were really having fun until an urgent knocking rapped on the door. The crowd froze and looked over at the door.
The one who came in was Mu Lingshi’s temporary assistant, Xiao Yu! He seemed frenetic and nervous when he came in.
“Director Xi, Manager Mu!”
Xiao Yu could only recognize Xi Xiaye and Mu Lingshi.
“What’s wrong?” Mu Lingshi noticed that something was not right with Xiao Yu, so she asked with a frown while she still held the cards in her hands.
Xiao Yu stopped beside her as he quietly said, “Something’s happened outside. A new waiter bumped into Master Qi’s female partner and poured drinks all over her. Moreover, they even broke his partner’s necklace, so he wants someone to compensate them and he wants to see our manager now.”
Mu Lingshi frowned as her eyes darkened. She put the cards in her hands down and stood up. Then, she took the sunglasses out from her pocket and put them on before heading outside.
“I’ll head over for a bit. You guys have fun.”
She left the room after saying that. Xiao Yu made an apologetic bow to Xiaye and the others before leaving and catching up with her.
“What happened?” Su Hai frowned after Mu Lingshi left the room. He glanced at the door and quickly looked at Mu Yuchen. “Is someone causing trouble? Things seemed pretty okay this few days. I didn’t see any conflict taking place.”
“That person just now seemed pretty anxious. It must be quite important. Should we go and take a look?” Mo Xiaoying asked in a worried tone.
Su Chen’s expression was calm. “Don’t worry. The current Lingshi isn’t the same Lingshi as before anymore. She’s not an easy opponent to deal with.”
Su Chen’s gaze locked onto Mu Yuchen when he was talking. He gave it some thought before continuing, “I kept watch for the past few days. Some people were causing trouble, but Lingshi dealt with all of them flawlessly. I can only say that I’m seeing her in a new light.”
Mu Yuchen put his cards down and his expression darkened slightly. After a brief moment, he asked, “Didn’t I ask you to keep watch on Qi Lei? Did he and his people do anything odd?”
Su Chen tensed up after Mu Yuchen spoke. His hands gripped the cards tighter before he threw them on the table and looked at Mu Yuchen.
“Qi Lei has been coming here very frequently. After Zimo called me, I came here almost every night, and I bumped into him every single time. He probably came tonight as well.”
Suddenly, Su Chen remembered something as he went over to the glass window. He opened the curtains and looked down as he continued, “I think Zimo’s analysis is right. He’s probably targeting Lingshi. His motive is questionable!”
Su Chen was watching outside, and he saw the situation underneath. Before Mu Yuchen could even reply, he called out to him quietly, “Chen, come over here and see what’s happening!” His voice sounded doubtful.
There were several people standing near the corridor beside the overly crowded dance floor. A lady in a pink dress with heavy makeup seemed to be scolding the waiter before her. She was even poking the waiter’s chest as she spoke.
The waiter was blocked by two bodyguards in black suits while he lowered his head and apologized. There was a man in a gray suit beside the lady.
With that evil-looking face and an odd grin, accompanied by a wicked aura all around him, who else could it be aside from the Master of Qi Kai, Qi Lei?
Another manager was trying to help out, but he was dragged aside by another bodyguard.
“Chen, isn’t that Qi Lei from Qi Kai? Tell me if that’s him!”
Su Chen’s face started to frown and his face turned cold. A harsh light flashed in his sharp eyes as he turned over and looked at Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen looked downstairs, cold light gathering in his eyes as they started to harden.
