Little Bean was even more shocked by Liao Muchen’s words.
“Are you serious? Don’t lie to me.”
“This world is so weird. I usually tell the media lies and I don’t mean it, but the media and fans believe me… Now that I’m telling you the truth, you don’t believe me?”
“No, I just think it’s a little… abrupt…”
“What’s so abrupt about that? Do you think someone as outstanding as your sister isn’t worthy of being liked?” Liao Muchen found Little Bean especially cute.
“Of course not, my sister is very outstanding, but… you and her…” Little Bean hesitated and didn’t finish her sentence.
Liao Muchen was not stupid. He knew what she meant and smiled. He put down the cup of tea and wiped his mouth.
“I understand. You’re trying to say that I’m not good enough for her. After all… my family background isn’t good, and I’m not from a prestigious family. My looks aren’t particularly good, and my wealth is incomparable to hers… I’m even a few years older than her…” Liao Muchen mocked himself.
“That’s not what I mean. It’s just that… it’s hard for anyone to get close to my sister.” Little Bean stared at Liao Muchen seriously.
“Just because it’s hard doesn’t mean it’s not possible. If you’re sincere, you can achieve anything.”
“Fine… Since you’re so patient, you can keep trying. But don’t blame me for not reminding you… Be careful of your fragile heart.”
“I’m sorry, but my heart isn’t that fragile. It’s made of diamond,” Liao Muchen teased.
“Even a diamond damaged over a long period of time will shatter.”
“Do you have no confidence in me?” Liao Muchen looked at Little Bean and smiled bitterly.
“No, I don’t have faith in my sister. She’s… Anyway… Good luck… Oh, right, there’s one more thing… I need to ask of you.”
Little Bean finally told him why she was looking for Liao Muchen.
“What?”
“If you can, please stay as far away from my mother as possible. Don’t let her see you or notice you… As for the reason… don’t ask, I have my own reasons…”
“Alright.” Liao Muchen felt that this wasn’t a difficult task, so he nodded slightly and agreed.
“Thank you.”
After saying this, Little Bean turned around and left. Her conversation with Liao Muchen was rather secretive, so no one noticed.
Liao Muchen did abide by the agreement and did not let Huo Mian see him again.
Before he left, he really wanted to bid farewell to Pudding.
However, from afar, he saw Pudding talking happily with an old couple, occasionally sticking out her tongue.
That kind of scene would never be seen in the company.
When she was at the corporation, Pudding was like her father. She always had a cold face. Even though she was young, everyone was afraid of her.
Liao Muchen didn’t know that the old couple that Pudding was trying to cheer up was Mr. and Mrs. Su. He was just envious of them.
If one day, Pudding could put down her mask and smile at him without any concerns, he would be very happy.
As Liao Muchen thought about it, he walked out quietly…
However, he didn’t expect to meet the young master of the Qin family here. Although Qin Guoguo was young, he wasn’t short at all.
He leaned lazily against the door. “Leaving so soon?”
“Ah, I’m full.” Liao Muchen was puzzled as well. It was their first time meeting, yet they seemed to be very familiar with each other.
He knew this kid. He had seen him in photos before. President Qin and Little President Qin both had one in their offices. It was a family photo of the five of them.
This kid, standing behind the chairman’s wife in the photo, must be the Qin family’s legendary young master—Qin Yuyao.
“Don’t you want to bid farewell to my big sister before you leave?” Qin Guoguo asked him..

Zhu Lingling only realized what was going on after she saw him clearly.
“Oh, I remember now. It’s the boy who’s been very popular recently… He looks pretty handsome…”
“Lingling, who is he?”
Because she didn’t pay attention to entertainment celebrities and gossip, Huo Mian didn’t know anyone or any song that was popular.
“Are you kidding me? Are you that outdated now? He’s an artist under your company…”
“An artist from my company?” Huo Mian was even more confused.
“He is one of Pudding’s artists, he’s super popular… I heard he has tens of millions of fans… His name is something Chen. It’s something like that but I forgot it…” Zhu Lingling was confused and couldn’t express herself clearly.
Huo Mian felt strange. She stopped her work and walked over.
She could not help but want to get closer to the boy…
“Mom.”
Little Bean’s voice came from behind her.
Huo Mian suddenly turned around. “What’s wrong, Little Bean?”
“Mom, I miss Grandpa… When is Grandpa coming?”
“I can’t get through the call with your aunt, so we’re not sure yet.”
Huo Mian didn’t know what to do with her father. His whereabouts were extremely secretive and harder to find than Lu Yan’s.
So, she wasn’t sure if her father would attend the twins’ coming of age ceremony.
“Alright, alright… Seriously… when Grandpa comes, I’m going to teach him a lesson. Hmph… right, Mom… didn’t you say that there would be pine milk cakes tonight? Why didn’t I see any? Come with me to look for it. I want to get more for Tuantuan and Yuanyuan.”
“It’s on the dining table next to your Auntie Lingling.” Huo Mian pointed at Zhu Lingling.
“Mom, come over for a while. I still have some things to tell you about the hospital.”
Little Bean grabbed Huo Mian’s arm as she spoke and easily pulled her mother aside.
Pudding and Liao Muchen left Huo Mian’s sight.
Little Bean didn’t know if her sister had really gone crazy. She’d actually brought Liao Muchen here without saying anything.
She had seen the blank look in her mother’s eyes when she looked at Liao Muchen just now.
She would never let her mother be reminded of Su Yu.
Definitely not…
Pudding saw Little Bean stopping Huo Mian halfway and remembered Little Bean’s advice. She pulled Liao Muchen to a corner.
“There’s a buffet here. Take whatever you want. After you finish eating, leave immediately.”
“Boss, how much do you dislike me?” Although Liao Muchen was smiling on the surface, he was actually feeling a little sour inside.
Pudding said those words with a cold face, as if she was chasing a dog away.
If it wasn’t for his thick skin, he would have immediately turned around and left.
“I didn’t invite you…”
“Okay, okay. I’ll eat some food quietly and then leave… You have quite a few guests at home… Go entertain them. Don’t worry about me. I won’t get into trouble.”
Seeing that Pudding wasn’t going to accompany him, Liao Muchen picked up a plate and decided to eat something.
“You better keep your word.”
Pudding glanced at him and turned around. At the door was Jiang Xiaowei, who came late.
“Xiaowei, where’s Wei Liao?” Gao Ran happened to be at the door and saw her alone, so he couldn’t help but be surprised.
“He’s still talking to a client. I don’t think he can make it. I’m the only one here to freeload today.”
“It’s just in time, come sit over here, Sis Xiaowei.” Qin Ning held onto Jiang Xiaowei’s arm intimately.
Just as she was about to sit down, Pudding came over and helped Jiang Xiaowei get a set of cutlery.
When she looked up and saw Pudding, her expression was complicated…
She really wanted Pudding and Yunchu to meet and talk privately, but…
