Chapter 368: He’s not coming back anymore
Shen Yuting looked at him blankly, after a while, she asked another question.
“Don’t worry, beautiful. I’m not from around here. Even if something happens between us tonight, I won’t cling to you. Here, drink this first, then we can chat.”
The man moved a little closer to her, reached out and clasped her waist, pouring the wine in his hand into her mouth.
“What are you doing, let me go.”
Shen Yuting was startled and struggled immediately.
The man had no intention of forcing her. He was handsome and had plenty of women throwing themselves at him.
With a shrug of indifference, he let go of her, put down the glass, and stood up to leave.
“Wait a minute.”
Just as he took a step, he was stopped again by Shen Yuting. He turned around, looking down at Shen Yuting from a high position.
“Beautiful, is there anything else?”
“What… What’s your name?”
Shen Yuting was very shocked. He said he was not a local. She was also sure that Mo Xiuchen had no twin brothers, but this man looked at least seventy percent like him.
What made her stop him was that when he let go of her and got up to leave, the lazy attitude he had made her feel that in that instant, he was very much like him.
“Sorry, I don’t have a habit of telling strangers my name.”
Jiang Liu was not a fool. From the shock on Shen Yuting’s face when she first saw him, to her subsequent questions, it was almost the same as Cheng Jia’s reaction that day. He quickly judged that this woman must also know Mo Xiuchen.
But he doesn’t know, what is her relationship with Mo Xiuchen.
Before Cheng Jia left the country, she reminded him not to wander around. She was afraid that he would meet someone who knew Mo Xiuchen and reveal his identity. She needed him when she came back three months later.
There was a beautiful woman giving him money to spend, he didn’t need to work, which was a comfortable thing. But he felt bored staying at home all day and didn’t go out during the day. At night, he came to the bar for some romantic encounters.
However, he didn’t expect to meet another ‘acquaintance’ tonight.
Shen Yuting frowned. “Sit down, I’ll buy you a drink, and you tell me your name.”
“Beauty, I don’t want to drink anymore. I’m a little hungry. I want to go somewhere to eat.”
Jiang Liu’s playfulness and charm faded, his eyebrows lifted showing a bit of a handsome look. The light hit his distinct features, making him look more and more cold.
He was deliberately imitating Mo Xiuchen, trying to probe the relationship between the woman in front of him and Mo Xiuchen. He thought to himself, if she, like Cheng Jia, also admires Mo Xiuchen, then he would definitely make her his woman.
Cheng Jia offered herself on her own initiative, and this woman, he could take the initiative.
In his view, women are all hypocritical creatures.
Jiang Liu left the bar.
When Shen Yuting didn’t come out after him, he took his time leaving, the corner of his mouth hooking into a cold smile. He took out a cigarette and began to smoke leisurely.
In the bar, Shen Yuting had a moment of internal struggle. In the end, she took out some money, put it on the table, got up, and went after him.
As she left the bar, the cold wind hit her face. She subconsciously shrank her body and walked towards Jiang Liu, who was a few steps away, smoking.
Jiang Liu seemed unaware that she had come out. He leaned lazily against a tree, only showing her a side profile. Under the dim light, she couldn’t see clearly, only a vague outline and a tall body. It was this that made Shen Yuting feel even more that he was like Mo Xiuchen.
She stopped in front of him. Jiang Liu turned his head and blew a puff of smoke into her face.
Shen Yuting immediately frowned, waved the smoke away from her face, “Where are you going to eat?”
“Turn left ahead, I eat my late-night snack there every day.”
Jiang Liu looked at her deeply, his hot breath spraying her nostrils as he spoke. His masculine scent mixed with a faint smell of tobacco.
“Let’s go, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
Shen Yuting glanced at her car parked not far away. The place Jiang Liu mentioned was not far away, so there was no need to drive.
Jiang Liu nodded, turned around, and walked ahead.
Shen Yuting followed him, quietly sizing up his back. He was wearing a designer jacket, all of his clothes were designer brands.
The way he walked, she thought, was very much like Mo Xiuchen. She couldn’t exactly point out how, but it just felt like it.
At the intersection ahead, Jiang Liu turned into an alley. Shen Yuting frowned, this alley seemed a bit dark. Although the shops up ahead hadn’t closed yet, she hesitated a little.
Jiang Liu turned around and looked at her from a distance: “If you regret it, you can go back.”
His indifferent tone was not necessarily insisting on her treating him to a meal.
“It’s just a meal. What’s there to regret?” Shen Yuting’s face turned, she sulkily said a word, and walked towards him.
Jiang Liu didn’t move. His tall body stood still, watching her step by step closer. His slender eyes slowly narrowed.
“Why are you… Ah…”
Shen Yuting walked up to him and was about to ask why he wasn’t moving. Before she could finish, he suddenly pushed her…
Unconsciously, a week passed.
Qin Mu’s holiday had ended, but there was no sign of him.
This evening, when Wen Ran went to take a bath, Mo Xiuchen called to urge Qin Mu, asking when he would return to work.
Wen Ran even scolded him, saying that Qin Mu had been working so hard in the past few days, and if it wasn’t very busy, he should let him rest for a few more days.
When she came out of the shower, Mo Xiuchen had already ended the call and was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window smoking. Hearing her come out, he walked back to the sofa and snuffed out the cigarette.
“What’s wrong? Is Qin Mu enjoying his holiday so much that he doesn’t want to come back to work?”
Wen Ran walked in front of the sofa and looked at Mo Xiuchen’s slightly furrowed brow. His face looked a little unhappy.
Mo Xiuchen’s deep eyes fell on Wen Ran. He glanced at her beautiful brows and eyes. A fleeting thought in his heart was suppressed by him. He pulled a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, “Yeah, I wouldn’t have given him a vacation if I’d known.”
Wen Ran chuckled when she saw him stretch out his hand. She handed him the towel, sat beside him, and let him dry her hair for her. “Is Qin Mu planning to extend his vacation? By the way, how is his blind date going? Is there a suitable person he wants to stay with?”
“No, he said he wants to go travelling.”
Mo Xiuchen paused slightly in his action, then continued to dry Wen Ran’s hair. He said casually, “When Ah Mu and Ah Feng joined MS Group, it was to help me. At that time, Xiao Wenqing’s power was spread all over the group. The old man was nominally the chairman, but whatever Xiao Wenqing asked him to do, he did without hesitation.”
