Yu Wenci insisted that she sit in the front seat. Since he had already said so, Su Yunxiu did not stand on ceremony and sat in the front seat again.

Yu Wenci’s eyes moved slightly, and there was a hint of gentleness in them.

However, Su Yunxiu was not so relaxed. She was a little nervous because this man’s aura was a little strong.

Yu Wenci glanced at her from the corner of his eye and was amused by her expression. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and with a very faint smile, he leaned over.

As the man approached, Su Yunxiu held her breath and saw his sexy Adam’s apple. His breath brushed against the hair on her forehead, and at the same time, the cold aura on his body assaulted her. His hand was searching for something, and his burning gaze landed on her red lips. Her eyes were filled with emotions that she could not figure out.

At this moment, their faces were very close. Su Yunxiu was so nervous that her hands were trembling. He did not dare to move. She stared at him tightly and stammered, “Senior… Senior Yu.”

“What’s there to be nervous about? I’m just putting on the seatbelt. I don’t want to be detained all the way back.”

After a short while, Yu Wenci left.

The surrounding air seemed to be flowing again, and Su Yunxiu heaved a sigh of relief.

So be it. Actually, he could have reminded her. There was no need for the big shot to do it himself.

“You’ve already graduated. You don’t have to call me senior.” He stepped on the accelerator and reminded her.

Su Yunxiu: “Oh, okay, then I’ll call you… Mr. Yu?”

She really did not know what to call him other than that. Their relationship was limited to working together, and they had no other interactions.

“Anything is fine. It’s up to you.”

Yu Wenci didn’t show it on his face, but he was a little disappointed.

Su Yunxiu looked at her phone from time to time on the way. She seemed to be waiting for a message. Her face was filled with worry, and there was a hint of sadness between her brows. He could tell that even though she had been amused by him for a while, she was not really in good spirits.

After she sent Xu Mu a message, the other party did not reply. She did not know if he did not see it or if he did not want to reply.

Ding dong.

The phone in Su Yunxiu’s hand vibrated. Her heart tightened and she quickly looked down to see that Xu Mu had replied to her message.

Xu Mu: [Oh]

It was a simple word, and Su Yunxiu knew that he was angry.

A dense sense of grievance enveloped her entire body. She sniffed and put down her phone in a fit of pique. Her mood was even lower than before.

She hadn’t even gotten angry, and this wretched man was already angry.

If Xu Mu had shown a little concern, she might have given in. The reason why she questioned him was that her intuition told her that Xu Mu was not telling the truth.

“What’s wrong?” Yu Wenci asked her.

Su Yunxiu forced a smile. “Nothing, I encountered some problems at work.”

He nodded, knowing that the young lady was not telling the truth.

There was a glint in her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.

They remained silent for the rest of the journey and soon arrived at Lin Qingwan’s house.

The villa area was brightly lit.

Su Yunxiu saw her reading on the rocking chair in the courtyard. When she heard movement at the door, she subconsciously looked over. When she saw Su Yunxiu coming, she put down her book and ran over to open the iron door, giving Su Yunxiu a big bear hug.

“You’re finally here. I’ve already gotten someone to lay out the sheets. You can stay as long as you want.”

She had stayed at Lin Qingwan’s house before, so Su Yunxiu was no stranger to this place.

“Oh right, thank you, President Yu. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

Yu Wenci didn’t want to disturb their time together. He nodded and left.

After he left, Lin Qingwan pulled her in.

Su Yunxiu saw that the coffee table in the hall was filled with all kinds of snacks and takeaway boxes that had not been thrown away. She knew that her parents were definitely not around.

“Are Uncle and Auntie not at home?”

“How smart. They went on a business trip and won’t be back for a month.”

“It’s not that I’m smart, it’s just that it’s too obvious.” She pointed at the pile of trash.

If her parents were around, she would definitely not dare to throw them around like this unless she was itching for a beating.

“What happened? You look like you ran away from home. Did Xu Mu make you angry?” Lin Qingwan poured her a glass of water and handed it to her.

At the thought of this, Su Yunxiu lowered her eyes, took a sip of water, and told her friend the whole story. Then, she asked, “Wanwan, do you think I’m being unreasonable?”

Lin Qingwan almost jumped up in anger. What was this nonsense?

This was clearly the work of that scheming bitch. Coupled with Xu Mu’s unclear attitude, it made people suspicious.
