She hadn't intended to contact Lu Sinian, but she ran into Fu Siye unexpectedly and had no choice but to use Lu Sinian to get away from Fu Siye.
"Let's go."
Mu Yinyin, without a word, hugged Fenfen and moved towards Lu Sinian, causing Fu Siye's expression to turn stern. He grabbed her arm.
"Mu Yinyin, how dare you!"
Fu Siye's dark brows furrowed, and his palm tightened abruptly.
"Mr. Fu, what is it that I dare not do?" Mu Yinyin pulled her wrist away, looking displeased at the red mark left on it.
"We don't have any relationship. What I do is none of your business."
After saying this, Mu Yinyin had already walked to Lu Sinian's side.
"Aren't you going to handle Fenfen's adoption procedures?" Fu Siye added, not noticing his own abnormality.
He thought he had Mu Yinyin cornered, but to his surprise, she merely raised an eyebrow, her face utterly calm.
"I've already handled this minor matter myself."
Fu Siye's veins bulged on his forehead. He sneered, yes, of course she could handle this small matter herself; why was he bothering himself?
Lu Sinian stood beside Mu Yinyin, watching Fu Siye's sharp gaze still fixed on Mu Yinyin. He smiled and spoke, "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for bringing Yinyin back this time. I'll treat you to a meal another day when you have time."
His voice was modest, but it already declared his claim.
Fu Siye instantly swept his gaze towards him and said in a deep voice, "My bringing her back has nothing to do with Mr. Lu."
Mu Yinyin's lips twitched. Not wanting to watch the two of them argue, she tugged at Lu Sinian's arm and said softly, "Let's go."
Lu Sinian took her suitcase. "Okay."
Complying with her wish, he didn't respond to Fu Siye any further, his gentle smile undiminished. However, as he turned, his gaze casually swept over Fu Siye.
Their eyes met, interweaving a somber sharpness.
After getting into the car, Fenfen, though silent, watched Lu Sinian with great curiosity, finally being caught in the act at a red light.
Fenfen snuggled into Mu Yinyin's arms.
Lu Sinian glanced at Mu Yinyin's face in the rearview mirror and finally broke the silence in the car.
"This child is..."
"This matter is quite complicated and can't be explained in a moment. Anyway, it's all sorted out."
Mu Yinyin waved her hand.
Despite saying so, a knot remained in her heart, and her expression grew more solemn.
The car accident had been too suspicious, and Uncle Qi Yuan had lost his memory saving her. This matter absolutely could not be let go like this.
However, given the current situation, it was not advisable to alert them.
"It's good that you're back safe. Relax today and don't think about anything," Jiang Ling said, noticing Mu Yinyin's subtle expressions and proactively changing the topic.
Her good friends clinked glasses and soon blended into the lively and joyful atmosphere of the bar.
To make the night more exciting, Mu Yinyin ordered two signature cocktails at the bar.
The expressions of the other three instantly became a bit stiff. Gu Xiaoqi coughed lightly, "Yinyin, you... want to drink?"
Mu Yinyin immediately nodded. "Yes, we haven't seen each other in a long time, and everything has been resolved well. I'm in a good mood, come, let's have a couple of drinks."
"We can drink, but I think you?" Li Chuan glanced at her, saying only this.
Jiang Ling pursed his lips, looking at her without speaking.
Mu Yinyin smiled, "Oh, aren't you guys here? Don't worry, I won't drink much. Come, let's toast!"
The few of them: "..."
The three of them exchanged glances. Jiang Ling finally spoke, "Forget it, let her drink. I'll watch."
Gu Xiaoqi and Li Chuan didn't say anything more, and they all raised their glasses together.
"Cheers!"
After a few sweet sips, Mu Yinyin quickly felt her head growing heavy and dizzy.
Her chest felt intensely hot.
She simply took off her jacket and draped it over the booth, revealing the refreshing and sexy red camisole underneath.
She had originally planned to wear Wan Yu's clothes as a quick fix, but after searching the wardrobe for a long time, this dress was the most understated.
Gu Xiaoqi beside her was completely stunned. She unconsciously licked her lips and said enviously, "Yinyin, you look so beautiful like this..."
She rarely saw Mu Yinyin dressed so sexily. The red made her skin as fair as jade, and her black hair casually fell to her chest.
Under the hazy lights, her beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed.
Like a cold and beautiful rose, she exuded a noble and lazy disdain for everything.
Jiang Ling was completely mesmerized, holding his wine glass in a daze for a long time before snapping back to reality.
This prompted Gu Xiaoqi to tease him with a laugh, "Boss Jiang, you agree too, right!"
Before Jiang Ling could reply, a voice suddenly reached her ears.
"Hello everyone, what a coincidence, you're also here for team building!"
A young man holding a wine glass walked over familiarly. Mu Yinyin looked at his face, finding it familiar, but couldn't recall where she had seen him.
"Old Cai, what a coincidence."
Jiang Ling steadied himself, recognized the man as Cai Wenxuan, the head of a cooperating company, and politely raised his glass to clink with him.
Cai Wenxuan was clearly a bit drunk. He familiarly patted his shoulder. "It's boring for you guys to just drink like this. Come over, let's play Truth or Dare together!"
"Sure! It sounds interesting!" Gu Xiaoqi was the first to agree.
Everyone was a little tipsy, and they were all high-quality men and women of similar age. In the disorienting atmosphere of the bar, a few familiar faces easily gravitated towards each other.
They played with great enthusiasm.
Cai Wenxuan placed the wine bottle in the center and spun it. Whoever the bottle pointed to had to accept a Truth or Dare challenge.
Mu Yinyin had been zoning out, hiding quietly in the furthest corner of the booth, only slowly opening her eyes when she saw the bottle slowly stopping in front of her.
"Miss Mu lost this round and has to accept the punishment!"
The people around immediately began to clap and cheer.
After collaborating for so long, this Miss Mu was the most capable and the most mysterious of the two companies, making everyone very curious.
"Alright, I admit it when I lose." Mu Yinyin easily curved her lips.
"Dare! I want to see Miss Mu dance!"
"Hot dance, hot dance!"
"How about calling your ex!" The crowd was extremely excited. Driven by alcohol, they eagerly spoke one after another.
"Yes, yes, yes! Call your ex and confess!"
"How exciting! Does Miss Mu have an ex! They must be an outstanding person!"
Ex...
Mu Yinyin tugged at her lips, and Fu Siye's handsome face immediately appeared in her mind.
With no expression, his indifferent eyes carried a hint of disgust.
"Everyone, Yinyin just returned to the country and needs to rest. How about this, I'll take three penalty drinks for her."
Seeing the growing clamor around them, Jiang Ling didn't want to put Mu Yinyin in a difficult position and stood up to shield her.
But then he saw a beautiful and confident smile curve across her slightly flushed face.
Confessing to Fu Siye? She'd rather hit her head against a wall!
"Isn't it just a hot dance?"
