Chapter 635: 634: Stories Revealed by Some Casual Glances
“Nothing…nothing…” Startled by Wen Xin’s call, Mu Chengxu suddenly snapped out of her daze. She lifted her head, her eyes slightly lost, but they quickly cleared up.
“Just order anything, I haven’t been to a street food stall before,” Mu Chengxu said while glancing at the array of dishes on nearby tables, all of which looked very appetizing.
Seeing that Mu Chengxu genuinely didn’t know what to order, Wen Xin casually ordered some dishes. The waiter looked slightly stunned while taking the order.
“Miss, that’s a lot of food; it’s too much for two people to finish, how about…”
The waiter should have been happy with the large order since these two women were dressed lavishly and didn’t seem to care about the money, but he just felt it was a pity to waste good food.
“It’s okay, we have more people coming,” Wen Xin handed the menu back to the waiter, picked up her phone, glanced at her watch, and estimated the time. Chu Yunxuan and others should be arriving soon.
The waiter, happy to hear other guests were coming, cheerfully acknowledged and then went to place Wen Xin’s order.
The street food stall was quick to serve. Wen Xin was playing a game on her phone when the dishes started arriving one after another.
By the time Wen Xin finished a game round, the dishes were just served, and Chu Yunxuan and Yuan Junye walked over from not far away, followed by Gu Xiang and a few others.
Gu Xiang was quite emotional when she saw Wen Xin; she bypassed Chu Yunxuan, ran up to Wen Xin, and without giving Wen Xin time to react, stretched out her arms wanting to hug her.
But the next second, Gu Xiang’s wrist was grabbed by Wen Xin, who directly refused the hug Gu Xiang had offered.
“Your project is finished? Why are you so excited? Calm down!”
“Mistress Xin, I really can’t stay calm; you have no idea, your code is simply…”
Before Gu Xiang could finish, Wen Xin put a finger to her lips, made a silencing gesture at Gu Xiang, then pulled Gu Xiang to sit down beside her.
Gu Xiang realized she might have been too excited and gave Wen Xin an apologetic smile, then obediently sat down next to her.
It was then that they noticed Mu Chengxu. She wanted to address her as ‘Miss’ but thinking over it, considering the crowd at the place, it seemed inappropriate to openly reveal Mu Chengxu’s identity.
“Ms. Mu!” After picking a suitable title, Gu Xiang started addressing Mu Chengxu the way Gu Yanzhe did.
Mu Chengxu hadn’t expected Gu Xiang to address her this way, she raised her eyebrows, smiled softly, then nodded lightly, eagerly acknowledging the greeting.
With Gu Xiang giving the lead, the group that arrived lost their earlier reservations and all sat down at the table, greeting Mu Chengxu in a low voice.
“Miss Mu.”
This title was very familiar to Mu Chengxu. She elegantly nodded, acknowledged the greeting, and responded with a gentle smile.
Wen Xin was busy eating hot dishes with her head down, ignoring the greetings from others, believing that food from the street food stall was best enjoyed hot.
When they were nearly done eating, Wen Xin picked up the juice beside her and took a sip before lifting her head to look at Yuan Junye.
“Your recovery seems pretty good…”
It was the first time Yuan Junye had seen Wen Xin since she lost her temper with him last time, and he still felt a certain fear of her.
“Yes, I’m almost fully recovered now, no discomfort whatsoever.” To prove his point, Yuan Junye even showed Wen Xin how strong his body was.
Wen Xin watched Yuan Junye’s actions, an involuntary look of disdain appearing in her eyes.
“How is the investigation going? Have you found out who leaked your information?” Wen Xin had been too busy recently to deal with Yuan Junye’s issues, so she had told him to handle it himself.
“It was the Yuan Family, they wanted to use Independent State to take me down, then naturally take over my forces.”
Wen Xin was not surprised at all to hear what the Yuan Family had done, and she coldly curled her lips as she looked at Yuan Junye.
“How much longer do you plan to stay with the Yuan Family? If it weren’t for your luck, you wouldn’t have had the chance to come back at all.”
Wen Xin didn’t want to mention Alfredo, but she couldn’t deny that without Alfredo, Yuan Junye would probably already be history.
In Wen Xin’s words, Yuan Junye sensed a warning. He lowered his head and after a pause, spoke in a gentle tone, “After the press conference, I’ll handle the affairs of the Yuan Family.”
Listening to Yuan Junye’s words, Wen Xin unconsciously raised an eyebrow and gave a cool smile.
“I’ve heard this few times, but this is probably the third time you’ve said it. Consider it carefully, but tell them not to fantasize about Tianye Technology Company. When I make my move, they won’t have many chances to survive.”
Wen Xin’s words were filled with a warning tone, and Yuan Junye nodded at her, understanding how serious she was when she said this; she never joked about such matters.
“I will handle it well.” Yuan Junye kept his head down, not daring to look at Wen Xin. He knew this issue had touched Wen Xin’s bottom line, and even though he was the one who got hurt, such incidents were unacceptable to her.
Wen Xin responded coldly and lifted her head, just in time to meet Mu Chengxi’s gaze on Yuan Junye, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly as if she had spotted something amiss.
Having confirmed her suspicions, Wen Xin gently patted Yuan Junye on the shoulder, “Let’s switch seats, I need to talk to Chu Yunxuan.”
Yuan Junye always took Wen Xin’s words without any objections. He stood up, swapped seats with her, sitting beside Mu Chengxi, and their eyes naturally met.
This scene was clearly observed by Chu Yunxuan, who after downing her beer, subtly tugged at Wen Xin’s hem, prompting her to lean closer.
“Have you noticed that the Miss seems very interested in Yuan Junye?”
Wen Xin did not look in the direction of Yuan Junye and Mu Chengxi, but nodded slightly, rested one elbow on her knee, and gave Chu Yunxuan a faint smile.
“Hmm, I wouldn’t say I noticed too early, just a few minutes ago.”
Their whispered conversation and laughter attracted the unconscious glances of those around them.
