Chapter 58: Like Strangers
“Brother, let’s eat spicy hot pot.” After looking for a while, Yin Lingyan finally voiced the problem.
“If you’re not afraid of your mouth not being able to handle it, then let’s eat.” Yin Lingchen smiled and tossed the choice to her.
“I’m not afraid, not afraid.” Yin Lingyan smiled and waved her hand. Soon, the spicy hot pot was served. Today, Yin Lingyan ate everything spicy, and Yin Lingchen watched her with concern.
Halfway through the meal, Mu Qingyi suddenly said, “Lingyan, my mom has been mentioning you for a long time. Come to my place tonight and sleep with Qingran.”
“Ew~ I’m afraid it’s someone else who’s been mentioning you for a long time,” Mu Qingran clicked her tongue and glanced at Mu Qingyi, saying jokingly.
Mu Qingyi gave an awkward laugh, and Yin Lingyan smiled, “I’ll go play on the weekend. I won’t go tonight.”
Yin Lingyan’s conversation with Mu Qingyi and Mu Qingran naturally fell into Han Wuyu’s ears without missing a word. He gulped down his drink, slammed the bottle on the table, threw down a stack of money, and left.
Yin Chubei and Ye Qianyu followed suit and walked out of the restaurant.
The loud noises from this side naturally couldn’t escape Yin Lingyan’s table, which was so close to them. However, what they did was none of their business.
Yin Lingyan realized that Han Wuyu not only left but also took her attention with him. She actually… actually worried about him. Oh. No. This couldn’t happen.
“Yu, have you fallen in love with her?” The cold wind made them a little sober. Ye Qianyu glanced at the annoyed Han Wuyu and asked cautiously.
“No.”
Han Wuyu immediately replied upon hearing Ye Qianyu’s words. Ye Qianyu and Yin Chubei looked at him suspiciously, “Are we brothers?”
Han Wuyu glanced at the street and sighed helplessly, “A little bit, but this kind of heartbeat won’t last.”
He said with certainty. The two were stunned to hear Han Wuyu’s powerless voice. This was the first time they had seen Han Wuyu like this.
“Mhm, killers cannot have genuine affection. Nothing is colder than the human heart. You can’t trust anyone; just play around.” Ye Qianyu also became serious at this moment. As a gang leader, how could he have love? He couldn’t have both.
“I know.” Han Wuyu nodded. He understood all of this, which was why he and she… were like strangers.
“Let’s go.”
The three walked back with heavy hearts. This month was crucial, so all three of them stayed at Nanting Villa.
“Lingyan, what’s going on between you and Han Wuyu?” Mu Qingran couldn’t help but gossip. From the change of seats today and not saying a word during dinner, it was impossible to say there was no hidden story.
Yin Lingyan helplessly curled her lips, “I don’t know.” She was also puzzled. Ever since he came back, he had been acting strangely in various ways.
“Alright.” Mu Qingran listlessly tugged at her lips and glanced at Mu Qingyi, who was staring blankly at Yin Lingyan, shaking her head helplessly.
Yin Lingyan naturally received this intense gaze. It was impossible not to feel awkward.
“Brother, brother…” Mu Qingran secretly tugged at him under the table. Mu Qingyi looked at her, “What is it?”
“You’re mesmerized by Lingyan.” Mu Qingran took this opportunity to tease him. Mu Qingyi glanced at Yin Lingyan shyly, only to find that her attention was still on eating. His embarrassment turned into a bit of disappointment.
In her eyes, did he have a place?
Yin Lingchen naturally noticed that Mu Qingyi liked his sister. It would be a lie to say he wasn’t proud. Who wouldn’t be happy to have someone so outstanding like his sister? However, he wouldn’t interfere with her affection. He just wanted her to be happy, nothing else. He came to her side, wanting to compensate her with all his love.
