Mu Ye’s words were a little aggressive. After all, he did not know the reason for the matter, and Fang Mo’er did not want to hear him slander her husband.
Her voice was a little cold as well. “President Mu, this matter is between Shi Mo and me. It doesn’t seem right for you to interfere.”
Mu Ye said, “I don’t know what conditions you and Xue Ni agreed upon for her to allow you to come back safely, but it must be disadvantageous for you and beneficial for her. Why don’t you tell me? I might be able to help you.”
Fang Mo’er rejected him, “Thank you for your kind intentions, President Mu. If this was the reason that you came looking for me, then it’s fine. I can handle this matter myself. However, I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you the details.”
Mu Ye raised his eyebrows, “Do you know Xue Ni’s power? She works independently overseas and isn’t like those rich young ladies in the country who only know how to live a pampered life, eating and drinking. Do you really plan to face her alone?”
Seeing that Fang Mo’er nodded but did not say anything, Mu Ye continued, “If Shi Mo turns out not to be your best choice, or if you decide to leave Shi Mo one day, perhaps you can consider me.”
Mu Ye spoke in a joking tone, but his eyes were full of seriousness. He really did believe in what he said.
Just as Fang Mo’er was about to reply, she suddenly saw a familiar figure from the corner of her eyes.
She turned her head and saw Shi Mo walking towards the shop.
When Mu Ye saw Shi Mo, he frowned slightly and his expression did not change.
He had not expected Shi Mo to follow them so quickly. He had clearly done enough to hide this trip well.
Shi Mo walked over expressionlessly. When Fang Mo’er saw Shi Mo, she felt a tinge of nervousness in her heart. She felt as if she had done something bad and had been caught red-handed.
Shi Mo came in and Mu Ye greeted him, “Mr. Shi, I didn’t expect you to come looking for Miss Fang so soon. It seems like the two of you are in sync.”
He even glanced at Fang Mo’er as he spoke, his meaning was self-evident.
However, Shi Mo walked over to Fang Mo’er’s side and sat down. He then said in a flat tone, “I just so happened to see her here, so I came over. I hope you don’t mind adding me as well.”
Just so happened to… Who would have thought that Shi Mo would lie like that?
Mu Ye’s mouth twitched and he nodded. “Of course, I don’t mind. But Mr. Shi, since you’re keeping such a close watch on Mo’er, it seems that you should be able to keep an eye on her, no matter what happens?”
Hearing Mu Ye’s words, Shi Mo frowned and said, “Of course, you don’t have to worry about that, Mr. Mu.”
The two of them stared at each other as if there was a flash of lightning in their eyes. Fang Mo’er was worried, afraid that Mu Ye would reveal what had happened with Xue Ni.
Mu Ye seemed to be able to see through to Fang Mo’er’s thoughts as he smiled and said, “Then I hope that you are really able to keep an eye on her. If she can’t be found for some reason in the future, then you can’t blame anyone else.”
After saying that, he smiled mysteriously at Fang Mo’er and said, “Mo’er, since this is a secret between the two of us, I will definitely keep it. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”
Shi Mo looked at Fang Mo’er with a questioning gaze. What secret could he not know about Fang Mo’er and Mu Ye?
He thought of what Fang Mo’er had said in the office and suddenly felt an inexplicable emptiness in his heart. It was as if something was about to be lost.
Mu Ye seemed to be enjoying himself as he looked at Shi Mo’s expression, and his heart was filled with joy.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and answered it. It was Tang Yan calling.
Tang Yan’s voice was very loud, until even Fang Mo’er and Shi Mo who were at the side could hear it.
Tang Yan called out in a sweet voice, “Brother Mu Ye, when did you return to the country? Why didn’t you tell me? Where are you? I’ll come and find you, alright?”
Mu Ye’s good mood was instantly extinguished by the phone call. He said coldly, “I’m at the airport, preparing to go on a business trip.”
Fang Mo’er and Shi Mo exchanged glances with each other.
Mu Ye spoke to Tang Yan for a while before hurriedly hanging up the phone.
He said to Fang Mo’er, “Mo’er, if you need any help, feel free to look for me at any time. Please enjoy your meal. I have something to attend to, so I’ll be taking my leave first.”
Mu Ye shot Shi Mo a provocative look and left in a good mood.
Fang Mo’er looked at Mu Ye’s back and silently cursed. Was this fellow intentionally going against her? She could have hidden this matter from Shi Mo, but now it seemed like she was going to lose everything.
Sure enough, the moment that Mu Ye left, Shi Mo asked her in a deep voice, “A secret? Is there something that you can’t tell me?”
Fang Mo’er gave an awkward laugh before pausing to think for a moment. Then, she asked Shi Mo, “Hubby, can I ask you a question?”
