"Then do you want to give it a try with me?" Han Jinyu hesitated a bit but still voiced her thought.
Since he had already confessed that there was no way for him and his girlfriend to be together anymore. She had advised him, so why couldn't she fight for herself?
Mu Yijie looked up at the woman in front of him. However, his mind was filled with the figure of Yong Shanling. He wanted to forget her, but he just couldn't.
"I simply can't forget her. I can't fully commit to a relationship with you. I don't want to waste your feelings," Mu Yijie said frankly. His upbringing since childhood made it impossible for him to deceive someone's feelings.
Han Jinyu grinned. "So what? To be honest, I've just got out of a relationship too. Not only you, I can't fully commit either. I came to meet you also to get over my previous relationship. In this way, aren't we even?"
Hearing Han Jinyu's words, Mu Yijie felt less guilty. He had been hesitant because he didn't want to let down Han Jinyu's feelings for him.
But now, he had to admit that he was a bit tempted.
"Then... then shall we give it a try and start as friends?" He hesitated for a moment. In a daze, he seemed to see Yong Shanling. Mu Yijie grinned bitterly. What was wrong with him recently? Why did he keep having hallucinations?
"Sure! Let me tell you something about myself. I'm actually a professional painter. I used to live abroad. I also came back to China in between, though not for long. But I like this country very much and hope to settle down here in the future. My favorite things to do are sitting at home reading books on rainy days. I like traveling, doing sports, and sometimes going singing with friends..."
Han Jinyu smiled gently and introduced herself to Mu Yijie in a soft voice.
"My mom should have told you something about me. I graduated from Huada University and then studied abroad for a few years. I started a business in between and then came back home to inherit the family fortune. I'm just a rich second - generation living off my family," he said self - deprecatingly with a laugh. Thinking carefully, he seemed to have never really lived for himself over the years.
The only time he had really let himself go might be the relationship with Yong Shanling. That might be the happiest time in his life.
The two of them were like old friends who had known each other for years, recounting their past hobbies and lives in detail.
This also made them know more about each other.
Han Jinyu picked up her cup and took a sip. There was an uncontrollable smile on her lips. She stared absent - mindedly at the man opposite.
He was really excellent, knowing a lot about astronomy and geography. He was almost like an encyclopedia. And he had a very high EQ. When she mentioned her ex - boyfriend and just paused slightly, he sensitively changed the topic.
The curve of her lips became even bigger. How could such a man be let go?
"Don't move," Mu Yijie suddenly said. He took out his handkerchief and gently placed it on the corner of her mouth, saying seriously, "You've got some coffee on your mouth."
His deep eyes stared at her intently, making her involuntarily drown in those eyes as deep as the sea. At that moment, she knew she was doomed.
Originally, it was just her competitive spirit that made her want to capture this man with a heart already taken to show off her charm.
But now she changed her mind. She wanted this man to fall in love with her, be unable to leave her, and be with her forever.
Just as Mu Yijie's hand was about to leave, she suddenly grabbed it and said in a very low voice, "Is your girlfriend here? Isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?"
Mu Yijie's eyes were full of pain. His hand holding the handkerchief tightened. He forced out a few words through gritted teeth, "I just hope she'll be better in the future."
Han Jinyu suddenly broke into a smile and said playfully, "Okay, then I'll help you. But you have to do whatever I say next. Otherwise, even a fool can tell you're faking it."
Mu Yijie nodded hesitantly. Then he saw Han Jinyu shake the coffee in her hand and suddenly spill it on herself. She whispered, "Help me wipe off the coffee and act intimately."
Mu Yijie stiffened. He hesitantly stole a glance at a figure not far away. Then he lowered his head and very intimately hugged Han Jinyu. His hand with the handkerchief gently wiped at her body, but his hand was about two centimeters away from her clothes and didn't really touch her. However, to Yong Shanling not far away, it seemed that the woman had deliberately knocked over the coffee, and Mu Yijie had hugged the woman in his arms and was constantly wiping on her body.
Yong Shanling used all her strength to control herself from rushing up and giving this pair of a cheating man and a slutty woman a good beating. They had just talked about breaking up, and she hadn't even agreed yet, but Mu Yijie already seemed to have a new love.
"Mu Yijie, I never thought you were such a person. I really misjudged you!" She wiped away her tears forcefully, made up her mind, and turned around to leave.
She quickly ran into an alley, then stuck an invisibility charm on herself and flew away, back to the Mu family villa.
With a loud "bang", the villa's big door was suddenly pushed open. The huge wooden door, which was supposed to be anti - theft, was pushed down like paper in front of Yong Shanling.
"Miss Shanling, what's wrong?" The butler stood there at a loss, looking worriedly at the angry Yong Shanling.
"Grandpa Butler, I've broken up with your young master. It's all over between us! I don't want to stay here anymore." After saying that, she rushed upstairs to her room, packed up the things she had brought with her. She didn't even look at the jewelry and clothes that Mu Yijie had given her and just left them there. Then she turned around and left.
"Hey, Miss Shanling, wait... You young people, why can't you talk things out properly? How about waiting for the young master to come back and having a good talk with him before deciding whether to leave or not?" The butler stood there, persuading her earnestly.
He had watched this couple grow from being strangers to having a deep bond, from just a casual relationship to true love. He didn't want them to break up.
"Sorry, Grandpa Butler. Maybe we're really not suitable," she said with a choking voice. Leaving just this sentence, she turned around and left.
"Sigh, they were saying they were going to meet the master and the mistress to discuss their marriage. What happened?" The butler frowned. Remembering the uncontrollable happiness in the young master's eyes when he talked about this topic, he was very worried about them.
