Chapter 75 Jealousy
Just by hearing Lu Siqi's deliberately lowered voice, Mu Sen knew she was lying.

He asked with a sneer, "You still have friends in Hong Kong?"

"Aunt Meng introduced us." She said truthfully, "I only found out during dinner that he was the one who flew one of the planes in an air show that was jointly held by Beigang and Beigang two years ago."

"Hehe..." Mu Sen chuckled softly, his thumbnail rubbing against the pad of his middle finger. "So you like flying planes. If I remember correctly, Hong Kong selected an air force pilot to go to your North City two years ago. What was his name again? Sheng..."

"Sheng Huai'an".

"Yes, that's him." A pang of jealousy rose in his heart, but he quickly suppressed the feeling. "Let's go eat. It's not easy to meet someone in the same profession. Let's have a good chat. We have similar interests and work. Who knows, we might hit it off."

After ending the call, Mu Sen felt extremely depressed, especially considering that it was his mother who had introduced them.

No sooner had his father brought him to such a faraway hotel than his mother started arranging for Lu Siqi to meet potential partners.

Tsk tsk... No wonder they're a couple.

After Mu Sen brought Yu Nian back to the Lin family, he made an excuse to rest and locked the door as soon as he entered the courtyard, just to prevent anyone from coming in and disturbing his peace.

But after lying back in bed, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep; the thought of Lu Siqi still having dinner with Sheng Huai'an made him sit up, climb over the wall to the backyard without saying a word, and then climb over the wall again to leave from the backyard.

Find the driver, get the car keys, and tell the driver not to tell the Lin family that you have left home.

Knowing his volatile temper, the driver dared not say a word; watching him drive away, he felt a strange unease in his heart.

……

After finishing their meal together, Lu Siqi and Sheng Huai'an prepared to return to the Lin family.

Before she got into the car, Sheng Huai'an opened the passenger door for her.

"Thank you."

After politely thanking him and getting into the car, Lu Siqi noticed that the music Sheng Huai'an was playing was all her favorite instrumental music; she was surprised by the man's thoughtfulness, after all, few people would notice her preferences.

“I read a report about you before. You said that you listen to music to relax before you fly a plane. The reporter asked you to recommend a few songs, and you said that you like to listen to serenades and pure music like ‘Devotion to Alice.’” Sheng Huai’an looked at her and said, “You may not believe it, but I’ve been following you for a long time. I really admired you when you performed in the air during the flight demonstration between Beigang and Hong Kong.”

"Thank you for your attention." Socially awkward people aren't stupid; Lu Siqi understood the man's underlying meaning. But after all, they had only just met, and it was a bit unreliable for him to confess his feelings to her so hastily.

"Does my direct and straightforward way of speaking offend you?" Sheng Huai'an spoke with a gentle Gangcheng accent.

Although Mu Sen is also from Hong Kong, he doesn't have a Hong Kong accent at all.

This is why Lu Siqi never associated Mu Sen with the Lin family of Hong Kong.

Noticing that Mu Sen was constantly being compared to other men, Lu Siqi snapped out of her thoughts and smiled gently, "Mr. Sheng, you are a very gentlemanly man. It is my honor to be friends with a man of your kind character."

"Actually, I..." Sheng Huai'an's handsome face showed a conflicted expression, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start. "Actually, I want to tell Siqi that I don't want to be limited to just being your male friend. I hope you can give me a chance in the future so that I can pursue you."

He just finished speaking.

With a loud "bang!", the rear of the car was hit hard.

Fortunately, both of them were wearing seat belts.

Sheng Huai'an was the first to get off the bus.

Lu Siqi opened the car door and got out. She saw the black Cullinan that had crashed into her, and the man in the driver's seat was Mu Sen. She immediately ran over and knocked on the car door.

Mu Sen's head hit the steering wheel, scraping his forehead and drawing blood. Seeing him like this, Lu Siqi thought he was seriously injured and became extremely anxious, knocking on the window to urge him to get out of the car quickly.

Knowing that his goal had been achieved, Mu Sen frowned and looked very tired as he opened the car door. He had just stepped out with one foot when he pretended to be in a lot of pain and clenched his teeth.

"Where did you crash? Why were you driving after drinking!" Smelling the smell of smoke and alcohol on him, Lu Siqi helped him up.

Sheng Huai'an also came over. Seeing that it was the young master of the Lin family, he didn't press the matter. "Should we take Young Master Lin to the hospital?"

"No need, we have a doctor at home." He looked weak and listless, as if he could collapse at any moment.

The front of the car was already deformed from the impact, and the rear of Sheng Huai'an's car was also dented in a large section.

"Let's take a taxi back first." After saying that, Mu Sen walked to the road with Lu Siqi's help and hailed a taxi.

So worried about his injuries, Lu Siqi forgot to greet Sheng Huai'an.

Sheng Huai'an stood there watching them leave, then turned around and glanced at the scene of the two cars colliding, before looking at the road behind him; this was clearly a side road with several parking spaces, so how could it be that... the young master of the Lin family's car crashed into his car?
**
After returning to the Lin family home by taxi, Lu Siqi was puzzled to see that it was the backyard: "Why didn't we use the front gate?"

"Because there are people in the way at the front gate." Mu Sen didn't even bother to pretend anymore.

The driver had been waiting for him for a long time. When he saw that there was blood on his forehead and that he had come back by taxi, he realized that something serious had happened, but in the current situation, he did not dare to ask any more questions.

After the two men entered the yard, they received a phone call informing them that their car had been rear-ended and that the 4S store staff had already arrived.

The driver sighed: "Sigh... I knew something bad was going to happen!"
……

We climbed over the wall into the courtyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, Mu Sen's earlier weak demeanor vanished, replaced by a disdainful smile as he scrutinized Lu Siqi before him: "You like Western food?"

"Thank goodness." Realizing the impending danger, Lu Siqi slowly backed away.

"Dedicated to Alice, who loves listening to violin music?"

"Fortunately."

"Do you like men who wear air force uniforms and can fly planes?"

"..." She didn't dare to answer anymore and kept pushing the question away.

Until they were backed into a corner, with the man in front of them blocking their way...

“How about I set you up with Sheng Huai’an? This guy is exactly your type. He can not only play the violin, but also fly a plane. The Sheng family is a prominent family in Hong Kong. He himself is young and promising, and he and you, Lu Siqi, are a perfect match.” Mu Sen said this with a smile in his eyes.

But seeing that she remained silent and kept her head down, based on past experience, this was tantamount to her acquiescence...

"Hehe..." Mu Sen chuckled and stepped back, not doing anything to her. "If you like someone, just say it. Why hide it? It's okay, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow and invite Sheng Huai'an over. It'll be a good opportunity to set you two up."

After saying that, he strode into the building, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and never came out again.

Lu Siqi couldn't hear a sound downstairs, so she just sat quietly on the sofa.

Upon receiving Gu Shi's message that the mission had to continue and that there was no way to recall her to the Special Economic Zone, Tang Zi would have to take over the flight mission for the 20th anniversary celebration of Hong Kong. She didn't feel any sense of loss.

On the contrary, Mu Sen, who was taking a shower upstairs, was someone she couldn't quite figure out.
