When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 395: You’re Not Allowed to Reveal Your Identity (5)

Lin Duo spoke softly and gently, Tang Yanqi glanced at Sheng Jianan and Xu Muyun, seemingly understanding something. Clearly, Xu Muyun had something to discuss with Sheng Jianan and didn’t want her there.

Tang Yanqi smiled lightly, "Appreciate it, thanks."

Taking Lin Duo upstairs, their figures had just disappeared at the staircase when Xu Muyun spoke, "Jianan, I’m apologizing to you on Yiyi’s behalf."

Sheng Jianan, being so clever, knew what they were here for as soon as he saw Xu Muyun.

Casually leaning against the sofa, his lips curling slightly, "No worries."

Sheng Jianan crossed his long legs, brows and eyes displaying his usual arrogance, with hands resting on his knees, fingertips lightly tapping. After pausing for two seconds, he slowly spoke, "But in the future, if something like this happens again, I won’t care whose sister she is."

Sheng Jianan’s tone wasn’t the least bit serious, even carried some smile, yet it inexplicably sent a chill down one’s spine.

Xu Muyun met his eyes; they were childhood buddies, so he naturally understood Sheng Jianan’s temper, knowing he was serious.

He might forgive once because Xu Muyi was his sister, but it would only be once, definitely not a second time.

Xu Muyun pushed his glasses up his nose and nodded, "I understand, don’t worry."

After saying this, Xu Muyun glanced upstairs, then at Sheng Jianan, rare smile lighting up his face, "I thought you would be a one-track mind kind of person, didn’t expect you to change your mind."

Xu Muyun’s words held no sarcasm whatsoever, just stating a fact.

Sheng Jianan curled his lips, "Plans can’t keep up with changes."

Since Xu Muyun and Lin Duo were here, they stayed for dinner at the villa. Tang Yanqi sat next to Sheng Jianan, directly opposite Lin Duo.

At a certain moment, Tang Yanqi saw Xu Muyun placing a peeled shrimp into Lin Duo’s bowl.

Subconsciously glanced at Xu Muyun.

The man maintained that serious expression, not a trace of the tenderness when pampering his wife, yet the action was evidently indulgent beyond words.

Tang Yanqi mused, indeed, one shouldn’t judge by appearances. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she genuinely couldn’t imagine such a serious man like Xu Muyun having such a romantic side.

Lost in her thoughts, a dark figure suddenly flashed before her eyes. Subsequently, she noticed her bowl had two additional shrimp somehow.

Turning to look at the person beside her, Young Master Sheng was calm and composed, his slender fingers still busy. When catching her sneaky glance, he proudly raised an eyebrow, wearing a face ready for her praise.

In just a short while, her bowl had another added, and the man’s "waiting for praise" expression intensified.

Tang Yanqi felt slightly embarrassed. Why does the same thing seem so... strange when Sheng Jianan does it?

Not only did it lack indulgence, but it also felt like he couldn’t eat them, didn’t want to waste them, and purposely peeled them for her.

This thought popped into her mind, making Tang Yanqi lower her head in embarrassment. People kindly peeled shrimp for her, and such thoughts seemed somewhat petty.

Forget it, she decided to focus on eating.

After dinner, Sheng Jianan and Xu Muyun continued chatting in the living room for a while. Tang Yanqi went with Lin Duo for a walk in the garden, the two of them linked arms, discussing something unknown, appearing quite close.

When they left, Tang Yanqi returned to the sofa. Just as she sat down, a fruit platter was placed in front of her, filled with fresh red grapes from the United States.
