Mu Yinyin knew he was here to settle scores for Nan Shiqing.
Her eyes held a growing sarcasm.
Instead, Qi Mo stepped in front of Mu Yinyin, a faint smile on his lips. "It's quite a surprise to see President Fu here."
Mu Yinyin's gaze shifted, but she remained silent.
She had no intention of interrupting their conversation, which was a relief.
She would wait and clarify things with Fu Siye later!
Fu Siye narrowed his eyes. When he saw Mu Yinyin take a step back, his expression darkened. Did she consider Qi Mo her protector?
Fu Siye's brows furrowed deeper, his thin lips slowly parting, and a cold tone escaped his mouth. "President Qi, since when did you become so close to her?"
He didn't answer Qi Mo's greeting; his silence said it all.
Qi Mo, however, didn't seem to care. He simply smiled lightly. "This is between her and me."
The statement was a direct retort.
Mu Yinyin clearly saw that Fu Siye's expression turned extremely grim after Qi Mo's remark.
The next second, he coldly scoffed, "I don't have the habit of meddling. President Qi, she and I have private matters to resolve."
Qi Mo showed no intention of backing down. He even casually tossed words to Fu Siye, "But her time now belongs to me. President Fu, you understand the meaning of 'first come, first served,' don't you?"
Fu Siye remained silent. Their gazes locked, and the tension was palpable.
The hall was exceptionally quiet, so quiet it felt nerve-wracking and fearful.
Qi Mo's every word conveyed a sense of protection for her, but she didn't want Qi Mo to help her. If Fu Siye was looking for trouble, she would handle it herself.
"Qi Mo, wait for me. I have some private matters to discuss with President Fu." Mu Yinyin stepped forward. Although she spoke to Qi Mo, her gaze was fixed on Fu Siye.
Qi Mo raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Yinyin, I've been waiting for you for a long time. If you're going to deal with your private matters now and ignore me, isn't that a bit unreasonable?"
His voice seemed to carry a hint of displeasure, whether it was a deliberate act for Fu Siye's benefit or genuine annoyance, she couldn't tell.
Mu Yinyin's eyes flickered. There were indeed things she needed to clarify with Fu Siye, and she didn't want to talk too much with this man. She said with a serious tone, "Ten minutes. Our time is later."
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the car then." Qi Mo smiled warmly and turned to leave as Mu Yinyin had requested.
Mu Yinyin was somewhat confused.
Since Jiang Ling had driven them there, and there was a car, why had Qi Mo asked for a ride earlier? She couldn't understand, but she didn't ask.
Composing herself, Mu Yinyin then spoke to Fu Siye. "You've heard the recording and seen the video. Fu Siye, are you still going to defend Nan Shiqing without any sense of right and wrong?"
She frowned, her brows furrowed with intense anger.
Fu Siye took a step forward, his expression even more stern than before. "Mu Yinyin, who taught you to do that? Qi Mo?"
In Fu Siye's opinion, although Mu Yinyin was malicious, she wasn't so calculating. The recording, the surveillance footage, every word left Nan Shiqing and He Xia with no room for denial.
Coupled with her subconscious step behind Qi Mo just now.
"Why would someone else teach me to do this? Isn't it normal for hospitals to have surveillance cameras? The recording was just for my own protection. Is that wrong?" Hearing Fu Siye's accusation, Mu Yinyin genuinely found it both ridiculous and heartbreaking. "Fu Siye, in your eyes, no matter what Nan Shiqing does, it's excusable, but when others fight back normally, it's considered scheming?"
She truly couldn't understand how Fu Siye managed to drag Qi Mo into this.
Fu Siye now gave her the impression of a mad dog, biting anyone it came across.
She was tired of their verbal sparring.
She directly retorted, "If you think I'm plotting against Nan Shiqing, then find a lawyer for Nan Shiqing. We'll talk in court. We're divorced now, whether someone taught me or not, it has nothing to do with you!"
After saying that, Mu Yinyin turned to leave, but Fu Siye strode forward, blocking her path.
Seeing Fu Siye standing before her like a mountain, Mu Yinyin felt an intense headache.
Before she could say anything, Fu Siye spoke first, letting out a mocking laugh. "Nothing to do with me? Mu Yinyin, how long are you going to ruin my reputation?"
Mu Yinyin: "?"
She looked at Fu Siye as if he were an idiot. "President Fu, have you perhaps forgotten that we were secretly married? Except for those around us, no one knows we're married!"
If no one knew about their relationship, how could she be damaging his reputation?
The man's ridiculous possessiveness was truly exasperating!
"Go back and comfort Nan Shiqing properly. She has no defense now and will have to issue an apology statement later. If she can't handle it, then it'll be over!"
With that, Mu Yinyin turned and walked away.
Fu Siye pursed his lips. Just as he was about to chase after her, his phone rang. It was Nan Shiqing calling.
He didn't answer. The ringtone played until it stopped, and then Nan Shiqing called a second time.
Fu Siye still ignored it, but he took a step and walked into the elevator.
Mu Yinyin emerged from the inpatient building. Her eyes immediately fell on the luxury car parked by the entrance. Qi Mo was leaning against it.
Seeing her, he walked towards her, a faint smile on his lips. "Are your private matters resolved? If not, I can offer my services."
Mu Yinyin always felt a deeper meaning in this offer of service.
Her gaze paused. Perhaps, a capable and powerful person like him had already investigated some of her affairs. His words might very well be alluding to her relationship with Fu Siye.
After a pause, she pretended not to know and said calmly, "You clearly have your own car, so why did you ask for a ride with me? I thought I was very clear with you about discussing work."
"Yinyin, I've also made it clear to you. There are some minor issues with our cooperation, and I fell in love with you at first sight. If we don't interact more, how can we develop feelings?" Qi Mo sighed softly, but his words were gentle.
Mu Yinyin stared at him. A person of Qi Mo's status, what kind of women hadn't he met? Why would he focus on her?
She knew that the moment Qi Mo met Fu Siye and decided to discuss cooperation with her, he must have investigated her thoroughly.
"President Qi, are you sure you want to keep pretending?" Mu Yinyin frowned, her question direct. Her dark eyes scrutinized Qi Mo.
