Chapter 454: The Unaccomplished Rich Second Generation!
In the evening, Qin Xi had a sudden urge to invite Mu Yan out for hotpot.The private rooms were all full, so Mu Yan and Qin Xi had to sit outside.
Seeing Qin Xi constantly looking around, looking all sneaky, Mu Yan was a bit puzzled, "What are you looking at?"
Qin Xi snapped back to reality, looked at her, and said, "Nothing."
She picked up a shrimp ball and put it in her bowl, lowering her head as she started to eat.
Mu Yan glanced at her suspiciously but didn’t ask more.
The broth was too spicy, so Qin Xi took a sip of her drink and looked at Mu Yan, "By the way, I heard the Jiang Family and the Zhao Family are planning a marriage alliance. When are you going with Young Master Jiang to meet the parents?"
"Let’s talk about it later." Mu Yan replied vaguely.
Qin Xi frowned, "You two won’t be able to keep your relationship under wraps forever; you need to prepare early."
In her heart, she didn’t want Mu Yan to be involved in a high-society battle, but when love comes, no one can stop it.
"Don’t worry, I know." Mu Yan smiled, "Let’s talk about you, is that little kid still pestering you?"
Recently, every phone call, Qin Xi was complaining about being pestered by some little kid.
As soon as this was brought up, Qin Xi’s face fell.
"I really don’t understand what kids these days are thinking. I mean, I’m several years older than him. What does he see in me?"
Mu Yan smiled slightly, "Of course, it’s because you are naturally beautiful, as beautiful as a flower."
Qin Xi snorted, "Yeah right, women naturally age faster than men. In a few years, he’ll be calling me ’mom.’ By then, when I’m old and gray, do you think he’d take another look at me?"
Mu Yan thought Qin Xi was quite right; men always prefer young and beautiful women, so a romance with a younger man must be considered carefully.
But still...
She glanced at Qin Xi, "But do you like him?"
"Like him? Ha!" Qin Xi found it amusing, "He’s so annoying."
Mu Yan nodded and didn’t ask further.
She scooped some food into her bowl, and suddenly her phone rang.
Seeing it was Jiang Jingheng calling.
"I’m going to take this call," Mu Yan said to Qin Xi as she stood up.
"Okay!" Qin Xi nodded.
Watching Mu Yan’s back, it was hard not to feel a bit envious.
Once upon a time, it was the same for her. Whenever she was out, that man would always call to check on her.
Unfortunately... suddenly a shadow flashed before her eyes.
Qin Xi looked at the man sitting across from her, frowning slightly, "What are you doing here?"
"You can eat here, but I can’t?" Ning Ze snorted lightly.
He casually took Qin Xi’s cup, took a sip of water, and complained, "This hotpot smell is so strong; how can you even eat it!"
Witnessing him holding her cup, Qin Xi was so irritated her face turned green.
This is basically an indirect kiss!
She whispered angrily, "That’s my water, give it back!"
Ning Ze pursed his lips, placed the cup back beside her, and said in a low voice, "So stingy, I didn’t even drink enough."
Qin Xi was speechless, "The water in the cup next to it hasn’t been touched. Hurry up and drink it all and get lost."
Ning Ze chuckled; that was sister-in-law’s cup. If he touched it, Brother Jiang would definitely kill him.
He said with a mischievous smile, "I prefer the water in your cup."
If it weren’t for the fact that there were many people around, Qin Xi really wanted to splash the water on his face.
She frowned and said, "Hurry and leave. Mu Yan’s coming back soon, and I also don’t want to be photographed with an idle rich kid like you making headlines together!"
Ning Ze was a bit annoyed, "Who said I’m idle?"
Qin Xi glanced at him, "Your ’enterprise’ wouldn’t happen to be being an internet celebrity, right?"
Ning Ze, "..."
What’s wrong with being an internet celebrity? Even as a celebrity, he’d be the best one out there.
He suddenly regretted not joining the family business; even just holding the position of general manager would be impressive enough.
