After finishing her meal, Fang Youxi went to pay the bill, and Lu Yanli waited for her in the lobby, only to run into Jiang Chengyun and his friends having dinner.

Young Master Jiang came over and greeted him insincerely, "President Lu, are you having dinner with friends?"

Lu Yanli felt that he was really lucky today. It was Mu Wangbei's bad luck to run into Jiang Chengyun, that big mouth, here.

"Yes, someone's inviting me to dinner, so I have to accept their invitation no matter how busy I am."

Jiang Chengyun scoffed, thinking to himself, "What's so great about this? Did the President of the United States invite you?"

Turning her head, she saw Fang Youxi coming over, and the two looked at each other.

Jiang Chengyun glanced at Lu Yanli's smug look, then at Fang Youxi's caught-in-the-foul expression, and countless curses raced through his mind: Holy crap, could the person who invited that bastard Lu Yanli to dinner be Mu Wangbei's girlfriend, Fang Youxi?

Can anyone tell him what the hell is going on?

Fang Youxi seemed to have lost her mind, and for a moment she didn't quite react.

Jiang Chengyun glanced at the car keys in Lu Yanli's hand. It was still the same Continental, with a black leather keychain with a silver buckle. Fang Youxi wasn't wearing a watch. He remembered the black bracelet on Mu Wangbei's wrist. His words, "If you didn't know better, you'd think you and Lu Yanli had the same girlfriend," had come true. Damn it, could Fang Youxi be a scumbag, two-timing? She's a master at this.

Fang Youxi smiled at Jiang Chengyun: "Hello, President Jiang."

"Does your sister-in-law know President Lu?"

The older generation probably wouldn't use that term; it's really outdated.

Jiang Chengyun did it on purpose; he couldn't swallow this insult for Mu Wangbei.

Lu Yanli, ever the sarcastic one, said, "Of course I know her. She's the legendary marriage prospect."

Fang Youxi gritted her teeth: "No, our two families are old friends. President Lu is always joking."

Jiang Chengyun, having spent considerable time in the industry, retorted, "Isn't the Lu family planning a marriage alliance with the Tang family?"

He glanced at Fang Youxi again: "Miss Fang, are you from the Tang family?"

"Tang Yi is Tang Ze's younger sister. She took her mother's surname." Lu Yanli spoke his mind, and no one thanked him.

Therefore, Fang Youxi is Tang Zhanghe's daughter, and she is engaged to Lu Yanli through marriage. Everyone knows that the Lu and Tang families have a good relationship and close ties. The eldest son of the Tang family and Lu Yanli have always had a good relationship.

Mu Wangbei is a complete sucker.

Jiang Chengyun's face was extremely ugly.

Fang Youxi's expression was also not good. To put it bluntly, they had only met once and had one meal together, and she didn't feel she needed to explain to him.

"President Jiang, we've finished eating. Please enjoy your meal. I'll be taking my leave now."

Fang Youxi glared at Lu Yanli; he was definitely doing it on purpose.

Lu Yanli knew he was really angry, so he quickly chased after him, saying, "No, I didn't say anything wrong. Didn't you say you could last a long time? If you're so confident, what are you afraid of?"

It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I find it too troublesome.

Fang Youxi simply hailed a taxi and left. Lu Yanli shrugged, "Breaking up is better."

"President Jiang, what's going on?" Jiang Chengyun's two friends were completely bewildered when Jiang Chengyun exclaimed, "Holy crap, something terrible has happened!" and then grabbed his phone and went outside.

Mu Wangbei was still in a meeting when he saw Jiang Chengyun's call, and he hung up.

It's usually nothing serious, but then they called again.

Perseverance.

Mu Wangbei took the phone outside, and as soon as he pressed the answer button, Jiang Chengyun's loud voice came through...

The phone call lasted a full ten minutes, and Mu Wangbei didn't say a word from beginning to end, while Jiang Chengyun on the other end of the line had his mouth dry from talking so much.

"Give me some response?"

Mu Wangbei's expression was not good, but he was even more unwilling for Jiang Chengyun to make malicious assumptions about Fang Youxi.

"It doesn't matter whose daughter she is, and it's not like she's committed some heinous crime to know Lu Yanli. Also, I trust her character. Having a meal with a friend isn't a big deal. Chengyun, I hope you understand one thing: she's my girlfriend, and it's not your place to judge her. I'm not finished with my work yet, I'm hanging up."

Jiang Chengyun was left dumbfounded after the phone call ended.

He's such a busybody, meddling in other people's business. Mu Wangbei is completely bewitched and has gone mad.

Mu Wangbei had two cases in the final stages, and he was in charge of both. After the meeting, he packed his things and returned to his office.

"Do you know who Fang Youxi is? She is the daughter of Tang Zhanghe of Tang's Enterprises."

"Do you know who provided financial support to the Lu family after Lu Yanli's second uncle got into trouble? It was the Tang family; the two families are old friends."

"Did you know that Lu Yanli is Fang Youxi's arranged marriage partner?"

……

No wonder she's so busy every Saturday; she's probably busy going home, and Lu Yanli is probably at her house too.

No wonder she said she could have the surname Tang; she is a daughter of the Tang family.

Since she knows Lu Yanli, she probably also knows about the discord between the Lu family and the Mu family. Is that why she kept it from him?

Mu Wangbei checked his phone. Fang Youxi hadn't called him or sent him any messages.

They met at the restaurant. Given her relationship with Jiang Chengyun, and being so smart, she must have guessed that Jiang Chengyun would call her and say something, but she didn't explain to him.

At 10:30 p.m., Mu Wangbei entered the house. Fang Youxi was sitting on the living room carpet in her pajamas, typing away on her computer on the coffee table. Hearing him come in, she didn't even look up: "There's an urgent job. I need to revise a contract and send it to the boss. He needs it urgently."

This means I don't have time to talk to him right now, and I want him not to bother me.

Mu Wangbei was not without anger. He took off his coat and silently went to the bathroom.

After revising the contract, Fang Youxi reviewed it again to ensure it was correct before sending it to Gao Li. She then called him to let him know that it had been sent.

After she finished and put away her computer, Mu Wangbei was still in the bathroom. She could hear the sound of running water. He had been taking a shower for more than half an hour today, whereas it usually only took a few minutes.

It's obvious that Jiang Chengyun called him, and probably said some really nasty things.

Fang Youxi was also a little annoyed. She and Lu Yanli were completely innocent. How did she know that the Lu family and the Mu family were enemies? She hadn't done anything wrong. It was as if she had done something to offend him.

After Mu Wangbei finished showering and returned to the bedroom, Fang Youxi had already turned off the bedside lamp and gone to sleep.

This refusal to communicate was very obvious. Mu Wangbei suppressed his anger and went to bed, afraid that he would start an argument as soon as he opened his mouth.

He turned off the light, turned his back to Fang Youxi, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

It might have been half an hour, or it might have been longer. He turned over and saw that Fang Youxi had also turned over at some point. In the dimly lit room, he could clearly see that she was staring at him with her eyes open.

"Mu Wangbei, you haven't hugged me or kissed me since you came back." Fang Youxi's voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of grievance in it.

Mu Wangbei, utterly defeated, reached out and pulled her into his arms. He tried his best to ask her in a calm voice, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
