Chapter 1069 - 1071-Their Own Worlds

Ling Xi grabbed Ye Nuan’s wrist and pulled her to sit down beside him. He took a towel from his hand and wiped himself a few times before pulling Ye Nuan into his arms. ” Sister-in-law, it seems like you often help Big Brother bathe. Big Brother is really lucky. I’m not as lucky as Big Brother. I can’t stand such treatment. ”

Hearing Ling Xi’s words, Ye Nuan was slightly stunned. Was he protecting her?

Ye Nuan was already used to being made fun of by others. When she was acting as someone else’s girlfriend, she was often teased by Young Master Lin’s friends at the dinner table. Sometimes, she would be very angry, but she could only grit her teeth and endure it. Who asked her to play the role of a girlfriend? She wasn’t a real girlfriend, so why would she step forward to protect her? It didn’t matter if they teased her a little.

However, even she herself did not take Qiao Mu’s harmless joke seriously. Yet, Ling Xi spoke up to defend her. This feeling was very foreign to her.

After Ling Xi finished speaking, it was Qiao Mu’s turn to feel embarrassed. She hid behind Li Yan and complained, ” Uncle, some people are so heartless. They even asked me for advice with a good attitude before, but they changed their attitude just like that. ”

Li Yan hugged Qiao Mu. ” Ignore him. This is called forsaking friendship for a woman. ”

Puff …

The group of people couldn’t help but want to laugh. Was it really appropriate for Young Master Li to say the words ” forsaking friendship for a woman “? The person who forsakes friendship the most at the sight of women is him!

The afternoon quickly passed, and Qiao Mu suggested, “”Shall we go out for a feast tonight?”

“I have something to do, so I won’t go.”

“I have something to do too.”

“Then I have something to do too.”

“..”

Qiao Mu looked at her female compatriots. ” They’re all busy. Shall we meet up alone tonight? ”

Li Yan was displeased when he said that. ” I’m fine. So you want to leave me alone at home? ”

Qiao Mu was speechless.

At this moment, Su Chen had already stood up and pulled Chi Xia along. ” She and I have something on, we’ll leave first. ”

” I’m fine, ” Chi Xia said. ” Why did you drag me along? ”

Su Chen was displeased. ” Have you forgotten that you still have work tonight? ”

Chi Xia was speechless. So, he wanted her to go back and cook for him, right?

Then, Lu Jingzhi dragged Baby Guan away. ” We haven’t gone home since we came back. We’re leaving too. ”

Ling Xi looked at Ye Nuan. ” Are you busy tonight? ”

Ye Nuan thought about it. ” I want to go home. ”

“Okay, after you have dinner with me, I’ll send you home!” Ling Xi held Ye Nuan’s hand and left.

After a while, everyone in the house left, leaving only Qiao Mu and Li Yan.

” Alright, ” Li Yan said. ” We can have some alone time now. What are your plans? ”

Qiao Mu leaned into Li Yan’s embrace and thought for a while. ” Uncle, it’s still early. Let’s go out to watch a movie and then have a feast, shall we? ”

Li Yan smiled. ” Alright. ”

Qiao Mu happily went out with Li Yan. This was their second time watching a movie, and the cinema was packed with people during the new year.

The two of them watched the New Year blockbuster. When they walked out of the cinema, the sky was already dark. They went straight to the restaurant to eat.

While waiting for the dishes, Qiao Mu went to the washroom. When she passed by a private room, she saw that the room was filled with people, and it was extremely lively with laughter and chatter. Among them, she immediately saw Shu Xinyu.

Shu Xinyu sat in the crowd with a gentle expression. Ning Tongtong sat on her left, and a middle-aged man sat on her right. Qiao Mu had seen him before. He was Ning Tongtong’s father.

It turned out that this was the Ning family’s banquet.
