Chapter 799 816: Lin Mu's Scheme to Sow Discord
"Oh? What's the matter? Feel free to ask any questions!" An Qi'Er laughed."Since you don't mind, I'll ask. Well, actually, it's not a big deal, I just wanted to ask, do you have a boyfriend?" Lin Mu asked with interest.
"..." An Qi'Er felt helpless once again. She thought Lin Mu was going to ask about school-related matters, so she was happy to let him ask, hoping to finally find a topic for conversation, but...
An Qi'Er couldn't help but grumble inwardly, "Are we really that familiar? We've only met twice, right? How can he ask such a blunt question!"
"Mr. Lin Mu, we don't seem to be familiar enough for that kind of question, do we?" An Qi'Er was asked about her private life and was unwilling to answer. Whether it was Lin Mu or anyone else asking, she didn't like answering.
Unless it's An Qi'Er's own close friends, she wouldn't answer. And with Lin Mu, they've only met twice, so she would definitely avoid answering such a deliberately dodged question!
"Since we're not familiar, that's why we need to ask questions that can improve our relationship!" Lin Mu said, as if it were obvious.
"Well, I have a boyfriend!" An Qi'Er was helpless; seeing Lin Mu seemed determined to probe, she simply answered Lin Mu's question, intending to quash any unsettling thoughts he might have.
"Oh, you have a boyfriend? Which guy is lucky enough to have that?"
"He's a colleague of mine!"
"It's him, right?" Lin Mu pointed behind her.
At this moment, coincidentally, Jiang Shan just walked into the café.
Of course, it couldn't be a mere coincidence, for Lin Mu and An Qi'Er to meet, and Jiang Shan shows up here!
It was Lin Mu using an unfamiliar number to send Jiang Shan a text, telling him that he was dating his girlfriend An Qi'Er at a café in the city center, so Jiang Shan saw the text and quickly found his way here!
Initially, Jiang Shan wasn't too convinced upon receiving the text because he knew An Qi'Er's personality well. Not many people could invite her out for coffee and chat, let alone a man. But with suspicion in mind, Jiang Shan walked in and surprisingly spotted An Qi'Er right away. Unconsciously, Jiang Shan started believing she truly went to date another man, and his heart welled up with mixed feelings of jealousy, annoyance, and a hint of anger!
Yesterday, Jiang Shan also asked An Qi'Er out, but she declined, saying she wasn't feeling well and needed rest at home. Now, she appeared at the café, making Jiang Shan, who'd already done something wrong and was sensitive, think negatively. Especially with the provocative text, even though he didn't know who sent it, if it was merely a regular date with nothing else, there surely wouldn't be a need to send him a message!
The text indicated that An Qi'Er definitely had something going on, though this was just Jiang Shan being paranoid. And the person sitting opposite An Qi'Er was Lin Mu, someone who always made him feel uncomfortable and threatened!
At this moment, An Qi'Er glanced toward where Lin Mu pointed, coincidentally locking eyes with Jiang Shan. She thought there was nothing between her and Lin Mu, just casual coffee. Even though she thought this way, it didn't mean Jiang Shan would view it the same.
Jiang Shan, with an obviously displeased expression, walked over to An Qi'Er, his face showing clear anger.
"Jiang Shan, how come you're here?" An Qi'Er stood up and asked.
"Why am I here? I should be asking you why you're here? You said yesterday you weren't feeling well and needed to rest at home, how come you're here having coffee?" Jiang Shan asked in a discordant tone.
The first words from Jiang Shan immediately sparked the conflict, and anyone could hear the implication in his words!
"Jiang Shan, what do you mean?" Although An Qi'Er was graceful, she was displeased with Jiang Shan's tone.
"What do I mean?" Jiang Shan glanced at Lin Mu, "I ask you out, you don't come, he asks you out, and you do? What do you think I mean?"
"I'm just out with Lin Mu to discuss some matters, don't overthink!" An Qi'Er was somewhat agitated; she hated being misunderstood, especially in such matters.
"Haha, Lin Mu, so intimate! And you say I shouldn't overthink? You two are discussing serious matters in a café? Well then, I want to hear what matters you're discussing!" Jiang Shan had the unmistakable tone of jealousy, pulling out a chair beside him to sit down.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.
"I'm her boyfriend!" Jiang Shan asked with a provocative look.
"Ah, you're An Qi'Er's boyfriend? Nice to meet you!" Lin Mu grinned and seemed to extend a friendly hand.
Jiang Shan crossed his arms in front and ignored Lin Mu, of course, Lin Mu wasn't expecting him to respond, he was just putting on a show!
"Jiang Shan, have you no manners?" An Qi'Er said angrily.
"I have no manners for someone who steals other people's girlfriend!" Jiang Shan replied.
"Jiang Shan, what nonsense are you saying?"
"I'm saying, I have no manners for someone who steals other people's girlfriend, and I feel ashamed for someone who shamelessly dates other men behind her boyfriend's back!"
The next second, slap! An Qi'Er slapped Jiang Shan across the face.
"You..." Jiang Shan showed anger.
"Jiang Shan, I never thought you'd be such a petty and narrow-minded man, I see I've misjudged you!"
"What kind of man am I? Whatever kind I am, I'm better than you!"
...
Just as they were arguing fiercely, suddenly a little girl walked up timidly to An Qi'Er, placing an envelope on the table,
"Sister, someone outside asked me to give this envelope to you!"
The little girl said, and before An Qi'Er could react, she quickly left, disappearing outside and nowhere to be seen.
An Qi'Er opened the envelope, pulled out several photos, her facial expression changing dramatically. If she was only slightly angry before, she was now furious!
The next second, slap! An Qi'Er slapped the photos onto Jiang Shan's face!
"Jiang Shan, I truly didn't expect you'd be such a person!"
Jiang Shan looked at the photos in his hand, his eyes filled with shock; the man in the photos was none other than himself, and the place was a hotel room with another nightclub lady!
"T-this, An Qi'Er, don't misunderstand!" Jiang Shan stammered, the previous boldness completely stripped by the photos.
"Don't explain to me, Jiang Shan, from now on, we're over, let's go!" An Qi'Er said, and pulled Lin Mu's arm as they left the café.
