Qiao Siyu saw a long slender hand reach over and helped Mu Sheng put her seat belt on. Mu Sheng seemed comfortable with the gesture and did not evade it whatsoever.
After the man put on the seat belt, he retrieved a piece of candy from his coat pocket and unwrapped it before placing the milky white candy beside Mu Sheng’s mouth. Mu Sheng promptly opened her mouth and ate it.
The man smiled as he wiped the corner of Mu Sheng’s lips with his finger and cleaned off some coffee. “Did you drink Americano today?”
Mu Sheng was already accustomed to Li Hanchen’s presence. Even though it was unusual for him to wipe her mouth with his finger, she did not react strongly and automatically nodded. “Uh huh. I had a cup of americano. It wasn’t sweet enough.”
Li Hanchen smiled. “I will make you another cup of coffee when we get back.”
“Okay.” Mu Sheng was eating candy as she spoke. It was a new flavor with a chocolate fondant center and was encased in a crispy shell and tasted good.
Li Hanchen finally veered his eyes from Mu Sheng and looked at Qiao Siyu who was standing outside the window.
Qiao Siyu could already detect the man’s powerful aura from the side. Now that the man had looked at Qiao Siyu with his powerful eyes, Qiao Siyu could not help feeling startled.
Even though Qiao Siyu was standing and the man dressed in black was seated, Qiao Siyu did not feel like he was looking down at the man.
More importantly, Qiao Siyu was a man, so he could keenly sense the man claiming sovereignty over Mu Sheng.
He was clearly trying to tell Qiao Siyu that Mu Sheng was his and warning him to lay off.
Qiao Siyu glanced at Mu Sheng. She seemed to have no problem with the man’s actions. A look of disappointment swept through Qiao Siyu’s eyes. “Miss Mu, see you at the set.”
“Okay. See you at the set.” Mu Sheng nodded.
Li Hanchen glanced at Qiao Siyu’s face deeply as though he was warning Qiao Siyu before he sat back in the driver’s seat. “Let’s go home.”
“Uh huh.”
Qiao Siyu kept looking at the car until it disappeared into the distance while he stood where he was.
The assistant came out of the cafe after footing the bill to see Qiao Siyu standing by the roadside, so he quickly came over. “Why are you standing here?”
“Let’s go.” Qiao Siyu glanced into the distance before he turned and headed to the parking lot.
His assistant scratched his head perplexedly. Why did he have a feeling that something was off with Qiao Siyu?
Mu Sheng turned down his offer to create a dating scandal with him. Did Qiao Siyu have to be so disappointed? The assistant quickly reflected on himself and wondered if he had overreacted earlier.
“Tian.” Tang Tiantian watched as Qiao Siyu left and patted Jiang Tian on the shoulder. “Why do I have a feeling there is gunpowder in the air?”
A notion struck Tang Tiantian, but it was pure speculation, and she was probably wrong. Her woman’s instinct was telling her that an invisible war had just broken out between Qiao Siyu and Mu Sheng’s boyfriend.
“Humph.” Jiang Tian glanced at Tang Tiantian in disdain. “I don’t even know why I hired you. Just look at how stupid you are.”
Tang Tiantian felt dumbfounded. She looked at Jiang Tian quizzically. “How could you make a personal attack on me? Is there something you know that I don’t?”
Jiang Tian did not continue talking to her. Instead, he pondered as he watched Qiao Siyu leave.
Jiang Tian was a man. If he was unable to detect the light in Qiao Siyu’s eyes and failed to understand what it meant, he would have spent this time in the entertainment industry in vain.
In his opinion, the man beside Mu Sheng could not be provoked. He was clearly a powerful man. If anyone wanted to snatch Mu Sheng from him, it would probably be as hard as climbing Mount Everest.
