Chapter 147 - Overwhelming Jealousy
Chapter 147: Overwhelming Jealousy
Mu Sheng went downstairs ten minutes later.
Auntie Lin cleaned up Mu Sheng’s room yesterday when they moved in and straightened out Mu Sheng’s garments while she was at it.
Auntie Lin noticed Mu Sheng wearing the same black coat every day and felt it was a little boring and plain, so she deliberately placed some garments in brighter colors by Mu Sheng’s bed.
Mu Sheng was wearing the clothes Auntie Lin had prepared for her. She was dressed in an exquisitely embroidered white coat and a beige-colored sweater with beautiful patterns on its slightly upturned collar.
Mu Sheng was gorgeous to begin with. Now that she had changed her outfit, she gave off a completely different aura.
She resembled a blooming white plum swaying in the wind as winter came to an end. She looked particularly refreshing and was as cool as winter, and she looked exceptionally charming.
Li Hanchen was blown away when he saw her. However, he promptly looked annoyed. Even though the papers in his hands were almost destroyed, he remained calm. “It’s cold out. Why don’t you put on a down jacket?”
Mu Sheng raised her head and looked out. It was already early spring and the sun was beaming down in the garden making the pond shimmer. It certainly did not look cold. “I’ll pass. This is fine.”
Li Hanchen lowered his eyes slightly as his paper trembled a little. “Shall I send you there?”
This time, Mu Sheng did not refuse him. “Sure.”
Li Hanchen stood up and tossed the shredded newspaper on the table.
Auntie Lin could not help feeling puzzled when she cleaned up the villa. There were no cats in the house. Why did the newspaper end up looking like this? Did some birds fly in or something?
Mu Sheng kept looking at the script on their way there, so she paid no attention to the look on Li Hanchen’s face. When they arrived at the location, she bade farewell after closing the script and reached to open the car door.
“Hang on.” Li Hanchen frowned. “What time should I come to pick you up?”
Mu Sheng contemplated. “In about three hours.”
“Okay.”
Li Hanchen watched as Mu Sheng headed towards the cafe before veering his eyes moments later.
He reached for the phone beside him. If he so wished, he could see everything that was happening inside and hear Qiao Siyu and Mu Sheng’s entire conversation.
However, Li Hanchen did not touch the phone. Instead, he stepped on the gas and left the cafe.
Qiao Siyu’s assistant secretly waved to Mu Sheng from nearby. He was dressed just like an FBI agent incognito. “Miss Mu, we have been waiting forever.”
Mu Sheng followed the assistant into a private room, where Qiao Siyu, Tang Tiantian, and Jiang Tian were waiting for her.
Qiao Siyu’s eyes lit up when he saw Mu Sheng’s outfit today. He stood up like a gentleman and greeted her, “Miss Mu, you look good today.”
Although Jiang Tian was awestricken by her beauty as well, he promptly frowned quizzically.
She was pretty for sure, but why was she all dolled up today? Was it for Qiao Siyu?
Jiang Tian glanced at Qiao Siyu while thinking about it.
Since Qiao Siyu was a superstar, he was naturally good-looking.
Qiao Siyu was dressed in a black jacket with a dark gold pattern on it and looked refined and elegant. He even smiled a little as he spoke to Mu Sheng. He did not seem as aloof as he was known to be.
Jiang Tian looked at Mu Sheng and Qiao Siyu and studied them.
Something was definitely wrong here.
Why did it seem as though they were here on a date? What about the man who claimed to be Mu Sheng’s husband?
Jiang Tian patted Tang Tiantian’s shoulder. “Based on your woman’s instinct, is there something going on between them?”
