2758 Love Comes Like The Southern Breeze (276)

In an instant, Wen Ke’er and Ling Xuan were surrounded by a crowd. Li Yixue smiled smugly and turned to chase after Qiao Ruoxi and the others.

In the crowd, Ling Xuan looked at Qiao Ruoxi and Mu Yunli as they left. She felt an indescribable anger in her heart. She hated Qiao Ruoxi, who acted like a weak little sister. Not only was she clinging onto her brother, but she also wanted to stick close to Mu Yunli.

Damn woman, why was she so annoying!

As they walked out of the art exhibition hall, Qiao Ruoxi said to Mu Yunli, “Mr. Mu, I just found a place called Mo’an Cafe nearby. If you don’t mind, I’ll treat you to coffee over there. How about it?”

Mu Yunli smiled. “Didn’t we agree to go for a meal just now? You even urged me to hurry up, saying that we were running out of time!”

Instead of drinking, Mu Yunli preferred to eat with her.

It was true that Qiao Ruoxi was in a difficult position. After all, she had met the two women just now. What if they told Feng Yunan about her and Mu Yunli’s meal? What if Feng Yunan came to find trouble with her?

Just as Qiao Ruoxi was caught between a rock and a hard place, Li Yixue quickly made a decision for her. “Okay, okay. Xixi, why don’t you have a meal with Mr. Mu? Since it’s already noon, let’s eat together! Mr. Mu has explained so much to us today, so it’s only right that we treat him to a meal.”

Mu Yunli looked at Li Yixue gratefully, thanking her for helping him persuade Qiao Ruoxi.

“Okay, let’s go to a restaurant now! Mr. Mu, what do you like to eat?” Qiao Ruoxi asked.

“I’m not picky. I can eat anything.”

What Mu Yunli wanted to say was that the key was who he was eating with.

If he was with Qiao Ruoxi, even poison would taste delicious to him!

“Oh, I know a good restaurant that sells fish with pickled vegetables. Why don’t we go eat pickled fish?” Qiao Ruoxi really wanted to eat fish with pickled vegetables today.

“Okay, let’s go!”

Mu Yunli asked his men to drive his car over. Then, he took the two ladies to the restaurant that Qiao Ruoxi mentioned.

At the same time, with Ling Xuan’s help, Wen Ke’er successfully got rid of her fans and the passersby.

When they were alone, Wen Ke’er apologized to Ling Xuan. “I’m sorry, Xuanxuan. I wanted to help you, but I couldn’t.”

“Don’t say that. If it wasn’t for Qiao Ruoxi, Mu Yunli wouldn’t have been so rude.”

“Sigh, now you know how powerful she is! I’m no match for her.”

“Hmph, I can’t stand her weak and innocent look. I’m so angry. I can’t just let this go. I have to tell my brother about this now and see if he can still protect her.”

Then, Ling Xuan immediately took out her phone and told her brother what she had seen.

At this moment, at the Fengtian Group, Feng Yunan left the company with his assistant and the others after work.

“Have you booked the place I wanted?” Feng Yunan had already gotten someone to book a table at Tiffany’s. Then, when he passed by the flagship store later, he would invite Qiao Ruoxi for a meal.

“Young Master, we’ve booked the best Diamond Room.”

“Oh.”

Feng Yunan walked into the elevator and looked at the smooth mirror with satisfaction. He adjusted his tie and suit to make sure there was nothing wrong with his appearance.

He could not explain why. It was not the first time he was asking Qiao Ruoxi out for a meal. However, today, his heart was beating like a teenager going to see his beloved girl.

Xiu Yi asked again, “Young Master, should we call the flagship store in advance and inform Young Madam? What if she’s eaten at the store?”

“There’s no need.”

It would not be a surprise if he had notified her beforehand.

Feng Yunan took a look at the time. He had deliberately knocked off half an hour earlier. By right, she should not have gotten off work to eat before he arrived.

After getting into the car, he asked the driver to rush to the flagship store as fast as he could. When he arrived at the destination, he called Qiao Ruoxi, but her phone was turned off.

Did she turn off her phone during working hours?

This was very unlike Qiao Ruoxi’s work style.

Feng Yunan sent someone to check on the shop. The answer he got was that Qiao Ruoxi had taken a day off from work.

Feng Yunan was depressed. That weakling was on leave today and didn’t even report to him in advance?

Qiao Ruoxi’s sudden “loss of contact” ruined all of Feng Yunan’s plans. He looked at the flowers on the seat beside him and tugged at his tie in frustration.

Where exactly did this woman go?

Could she have gone back to her mother’s house?

Just as he was about to call his mother-in-law, his sister, Ling Xuan, called. It was not the right time.

Feng Yunan picked up the phone and said impatiently, “Xuanxuan, what do you want to say?”

“Brother! Let me tell you, I met Qiao Ruoxi today!”

Huh?

Hearing his sister mention Qiao Ruoxi, Feng Yunan immediately stood up and asked, “Where is she?”

After the call ended, Feng Yunan’s face darkened. It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t angry. He was about to go crazy from anger.

That woman, Qiao Ruoyi, actually did not even say anything and took leave to attend the art exhibition with Mu Yunli. After that, she still wanted to eat lunch together with him!

Did she really think that her husband was just a decoration?

“Xiu Yi, find a way to locate Mu Yunli’s coordinates. Immediately!”

Feng Yunan could not contact Qiao Ruoxi, but he had Mu Yunli’s number. As long as Mu Yunli turned on his phone, he would be able to locate him.

Xiu Yi used the computer tracking system developed by the Fengtian Group and quickly found Mu Yunli’s location. It was at a pickled fish restaurant at Hongyun Road.

Were they having fish with pickled vegetables for lunch?

Feng Yunan simply could not imagine what kind of taste they had.

Even though he couldn’t help but complain in his heart, Feng Yunan still ordered his men to drive the car to Hongyun Road.

At this time, Qiao Ruoyi, Mu Yunli, and Li Yixue were sitting by the window on the second floor of the restaurant that had the best reputation on Hongyun Road. They had already ordered their food.

“The environment here is not bad.” Mu Yunli looked at the environment in the restaurant and said with a smile, “Today is my first time eating fish with pickled vegetables.”

“Is that so?” Qiao Ruoxi asked worriedly. “I’m afraid Mr. Mu won’t be able to get used to the taste.”

“It’s okay. We have to try everything. It might be to my liking!” Mu Yunli liked to try, especially when he was with Qiao Ruoxi. He was willing to try many new things.

Li Yixue added, “Mr. Mu, don’t worry. The fish with pickled vegetables here is the best in Yun City. Even many foreigners are full of praise for it.”

“Then I want to try it even more.”

The few of them chatted for a while. Not long after, a large serving of fish with pickled vegetables was served on the table. The aroma of the fish filled the air, making them drool.

Li Yixue said, “Wow, it smells so good! Mr. Mu, please don’t hold back!”

“Mr. Mu, how about you try it?” Qiao Ruoxi invited Mu Yunli to try the food first.

Mu Yunli picked up a slice of fish and ate it. After he finished eating, his eyes lit up and he repeatedly nodded. “Mmm, not bad, not bad. It’s fragrant and tender. Delicious!”

Qiao Ruoxi was finally relieved. Then, they began to eat enthusiastically.

As they ate, Li Yixue was the first to feel a black shadow beside her.
