Mu Yin Yin chose to refuse coldly, "Thanks, but no need."
Mu Yin Yin had no interest in dealing with such pick-up lines and soon left the venue, hailing a cab at the crossroads.
She went to a bar closest to the venue.
Today, she had been set up by Nan Shi Qing, and then there were Fu Si Ye's displeased, hateful black eyes that seemed to want to flay her alive, along with his fierce expression.
The more she thought about it, the more agitated she became, even feeling the urge to hit someone.
Afraid of her own pent-up frustration, she came here to drink and vent.
However, she had barely found a seat when someone pulled out the chair next to her, "Hello, beautiful, mind if I sit here?"
Mu Yin Yin only heard the voice and didn't even bother to look up.
"I do."
"But there are no other seats around."
A man's low sigh came from beside her ear.
Mu Yin Yin spoke coldly and sternly, "Then what does that have to do with me?"
"But there's only a seat here. Beautiful, this bar is very popular, and it's crowded. It's not easy to find a place with a seat." The man sighed softly, his brow furrowed with an unshakeable cloud of sorrow.
The man had already sat down next to Mu Yin Yin, completely ignoring her earlier statement of "I do mind."
This immediately displeased Mu Yin Yin.
She frowned and stood up. She glanced around and saw that the bar was indeed packed.
Moreover, she noticed someone pointing towards their companion, "Look, there's still a seat over there!"
The speaker was a woman with wavy hair.
As soon as the woman finished speaking, she grabbed the man beside her and rushed towards Mu Yin Yin's table.
"So tired!"
The woman sat down, placed her backpack on the small round table, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Her companion followed closely behind.
To be honest, Mu Yin Yin had come to the bar to drink and relax.
But what happened? The small round table was already cramped, and now three more people were squeezed in.
However, when one is out, one doesn't want to cause too much trouble.
Mu Yin Yin stood up and found a waiter, "Are there any seats on the second floor?"
"The second floor has been booked for a private event," the waiter replied apologetically, nodding at Mu Yin Yin.
From the moment she entered, she had noticed the bar's decor. The second-floor seating offered a view of the entire floor, while the first floor was spacious but crowded.
If she were to go to a private room, why would she come to a bar? It would be better to drink alone in the competition hotel!
Mu Yin Yin nodded and turned to leave.
However, just as she reached the entrance and was about to step out, a figure rushed in front of her, almost knocking her over. Fortunately, the person caught her just in time.
"Sorry, sorry!"
An anxious apology sounded in her ear.
Mu Yin Yin noticed that it was a man who had almost knocked her over.
Looking closer, it was the same man who had sat next to her despite her saying she minded.
"Oh, it's you. It seems we really are fated," the man exclaimed in surprise as he met Mu Yin Yin's gaze.
His words even carried a hint of joy.
Seeing this, Mu Yin Yin couldn't help but frown, "This isn't fate."
Because the man was blocking her path, she also noticed his appearance – he was handsome and refined, with flaxen hair and a white shirt.
He gave off a "puppy" vibe.
"Then, miss, what do you call this?" the man asked with a smile, even raising an eyebrow.
Mu Yin Yin couldn't be bothered to reply and walked around him.
Unexpectedly, the man followed, "Miss, wait up! I took your seat earlier, and now I've accidentally bumped into you. I'll pay for your expenses tonight!"
He seemed very anxious as he said this.
Mu Yin Yin's eyes darkened as she heard this, "You'll cover my expenses tonight, with no limit?"
"To apologize, why would there be a limit?" the man retorted, clarifying his stance.
He looked at Mu Yin Yin, his brown eyes filled with sincerity.
Mu Yin Yin smiled without speaking.
From disregarding her wishes to sit beside her, to now 'almost' bumping into her, and then offering to pay for her expenses as an apology.
Heh.
She wanted to see what this man's "sincerity" really was!
...
Jiang Gang Wharf.
Qi Mo and Ai Mi were tied up by the events, but Qi Mo's attention remained on Mu Yin Yin, and it was highly focused.
Everything concerning Mu Yin Yin was immediately pushed to him.
When Qi Mo saw this man appear beside Mu Yin Yin, his eyes darkened instantly.
"With such a major incident at Jiang Gang Wharf, Brother Qi, are you going to leave me here alone?" Ai Mi quickly stood up and shouted at Qi Mo as she saw him getting up.
At that moment, Ai Mi's expression was very serious.
Although she had accompanied him to Jiang Gang Wharf and was confined there, Qi Mo's attention towards Mu Yin Yin was not insignificant. When the design competition encountered problems, he immediately arranged for people to escort Mu Yin Yin.
Now, he was leaving.
Leaving for Mu Yin Yin!
Ai Mi felt that Qi Mo before her was like a completely different person.
"Isn't it almost all handled?" Qi Mo asked, holding his phone with a displeased expression.
Ai Mi was by his side when Qi Mo was looking at his phone just now.
Therefore, the moment he stood up, she couldn't help but ask him these questions.
Ai Mi's throat tightened, and she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, "I can't handle these things alone. Isn't what Mu Yin Yin is going through her own choice? Brother Qi, I can't control you helping Mu Yin Yin, but you can't just abandon me here!"
Ai Mi grabbed Qi Mo's hand, preventing him from leaving.
Moreover, as she spoke, she began to cry, her small face already covered in tears.
Qi Mo pursed his lips.
The relationship between their two families was a factor, and they were indeed facing problems. If he were to leave Ai Mi alone, it would be unjust.
After a pause, Qi Mo arranged for someone to go.
Fu Si Ye was also going.
After taking Nan Shi Qing to the hospital for admission and finding a caregiver for her, he returned to find Mu Yin Yin.
He had missed her at the venue and had to rely on Mu Teng to track Mu Yin Yin's location.
The doctor had said that the injury on Nan Shi Qing's neck had narrowly missed the carotid artery.
If the carotid artery had been severed, even a slight misstep could have led to irreversible consequences.
Mu Yin Yin knew medicine but watched Nan Shi Qing bleed without intervening. Now, she dared to go to a bar to have a good time. This was something Fu Si Ye could not tolerate!
He drove straight ahead, speeding all the way.
The moment he stepped into the bar, Mu Yin Yin, sitting on the second floor, saw him.
Seeing his black, displeased expression, she knew he was coming with full force.
"You're quite comfortable."
Fu Si Ye walked to Mu Yin Yin's side and naturally noticed the man in the white shirt opposite her.
