Chapter 390: The Rich Girl After Bankruptcy (19)
When Mu Zhou saw Wen Xu, he also saw He Jianian standing behind him.
But Guan Qi had his back turned and did not see the person coming behind him.
He was eager to persuade Mu Zhou:
"Don't you think we're the perfect match? We grew up in similar environments and have similar personalities. Isn't that the case with many people in our circle? Childhood sweethearts will eventually get married after all the twists and turns. I don't mind you looking for Wen Xu, so why do you always have to worry about He Jianian?"
After Guan Qi finished speaking, He Jianian's eyes instantly filled with tears, and he looked at Guan Qi in disbelief:
"Guan Qi! What do you take me for?"
Guan Qi was startled, and turned away stiffly, with a trace of guilt on his face:
"Jianian, why are you here..."
He subconsciously wanted to explain, but then his expression changed again:
"Are you following me?"
The two had been arguing recently because his family had suggested that he go on a blind date. He Jianian found out about this and started to be very wary of him.
It made him miserable.
Seeing her here now, it was natural to assume that she was following him again.
He Jianian was shocked by the impatience in his eyes, and his hands were shaking with anger:
"You yourself have a criminal record, and you still expect people not to be suspicious?!"
Guan Qi was too lazy to argue with her anymore and just looked at Mu Zhou in embarrassment.
It seems that there will be no result from the discussion with Mu Zhou today.
But he won't give up.
Mu Zhou raised his eyebrows and sneered at Guan Qi's unfounded confidence.
She walked towards Wen Xu.
Wen Xu was wearing a dark grey suit, looking refined, dignified, gentlemanly and elegant.
He just stood there quietly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, calm and composed, as if he had not heard Guan Qi's words at all.
Mu Zhou wanted to take Wen Xu's hand and leave with him, but He Jianian suddenly seemed to have lost his nerve and stood in front of Mu Zhou and said to Wen Xu:
"Wen Xu, let's date!"
Mu Zhou's outstretched hand froze and he looked at He Jianian blankly.
No, her real girlfriend is still here...
There was only a hint of tears in He Jianian's stubborn tone:
"They're playing with our feelings like this, are you going to let them do that? We're childhood sweethearts, if they can do it, so can we!"
As he said that, he was about to hold Wen Xu's hand.
Wen Xu's expression remained unchanged, but he slightly turned sideways the moment she reached out, easily avoiding her touch.
He didn't even glance at He Jianian, he just walked around her and came to Mu Zhou:
"Have you had lunch?"
Mu Zhou shook her head, "No, I'm just about to go." Then she put her arm around Wen Xu's wrist.
Before leaving, Mu Zhou turned around and glanced at He Jianian, only to see a flash of embarrassment across her face.
Mu Zhou turned around and looked at Guan Qi, who was already wrapped in anger, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
These days, psychopaths appear in pairs.
Just as Mu Zhou looked away, she felt the hand she was holding struggle. When she was about to look down, she noticed a pair of bony fingers sliding into hers.
The two of them held hands.
Mu Zhou subconsciously clenched his fingers.
What she didn't know was that just this subtle movement instantly cleared the fog in Wen Xu's heart, which had just been filled with darkness.
The gloom in his eyes was also swept away.

In the restaurant, Mu Zhou asked Wen Xu why he came back early.
He explained that a meeting was cancelled at the last minute, so he changed his flight and flew back.
Only then did Mu Zhou realize that he had sent her a message before boarding the plane, but she hadn't noticed.
Until the end of the meal, Wen Xu did not mention Guan Qi.
Mu Zhou decided to strike first.
"Why are you here with He Jianian?"
Wen Xu paused for a moment, "We just met downstairs at the company." He looked straight at Mu Zhou and explained seriously, "I didn't have an appointment with her."
In fact, even when he and He Jianian were neighbors, they rarely had contact.
He has never been an easy-going person since he was a child, and he is always indifferent to everyone.
Mu Zhou looked at his sincere eyes and smiled silently. Of course she would not doubt it.
But he still didn't ask her why she was there with Guan Qi.
Mu Zhou knew that although Wen Xu seemed to care nothing, he was actually very thoughtful and possessive.
Many things are not said, they are all kept in the heart, and then digested slowly by oneself.
Mu Zhou sighed.
There's really nothing I can do about him. He's my man after all, so I can only pamper him.
She was about to find words to explain to Wen Xu, but she didn't expect that her sigh would make Wen Xu's heart suddenly rise.
He suddenly remembered Guan Qi's words.
Indeed, they have been childhood sweethearts for more than ten years, and the tacit understanding they have developed over these ten years is something he can never compare to.
So, is Mu Zhou shaken?
Wen Xu slowly clenched his hands on the table, his whole body tensed up, and a layer of gloom crept into his dark eyes.
He lowered his brows as if waiting for the final judgment.
Mu Zhou's pleasant voice slowly sounded.
It was still a soft and sticky voice with a hint of arrogance.
Wen Xu liked her voice very much, especially when she called out his name.
She always has various tones when calling her name.
Sometimes she is arrogant and smiles, sometimes she is angry, acts like a spoiled child, and bosses people around.
But either way, he was obsessed.
And today, she was going to use the voice that had bewitched him to break up with him... huh?
Wen Xu suddenly looked up, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
At this time, Mu Zhou had already explained the whole thing.
She took a sip of water and couldn't help but complain:
"How can Guan Qi be so shameless? Am I blind or a fool? How could I leave you alone and go pick up junk?"
Wen Xu's pupils trembled, and he finally digested her words:
"You, hate him?"
"Yeah, he's mentally ill. It's better not to see him again."
After Mu Zhou finished speaking, he saw Wen Xu with a dazed look on his face, and the joy in his eyes was about to overflow.
It makes his already beautiful eyes even more radiant.
Mu Zhou felt an itch in his hands, and couldn't help but lean over slightly, reaching across the table to pinch his face:
"Guan Qi is such a fool! My boyfriend is so handsome, rich, and so obedient. How could I possibly abandon him?"
Wen Xuwei tilted his head back and let her pinch his face, with a shy yet pretty curve at the corner of his lips.
All those messy thoughts just now disappeared.

Mu Zhou took Wen Xu to the styling studio as planned because she wanted to dye her hair.
This is a place Mu Zhou often comes to.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw Linda, the chief and store manager, waiting at the door. She smiled brightly when she saw Mu Zhou:
"Good afternoon, Miss Mu, please come in."
Linda was humble and respectful and personally opened the door for Mu Zhou.
She greeted Wen Xu politely when she met him for the first time:
"Hello, Mr. Wen."
But he quickly retracted his gaze and complimented Mu Zhou:
"Miss Mu looks particularly good today. I think she's in a good mood too."
Mu Zhou lifted the hair by his ear and replied with a smile on his face:
"I'm in a really good mood today."
As she said this, she glanced at Wen Xu out of the corner of her eyes.
Wen Xu also looked at her subconsciously.
