Lin Feng's appearance was very ordinary, and his skin was slightly dark, making him look just like a migrant worker who had just moved from the countryside to the city, devoid of any imposing air expected of War King.
Maybe it was because he had been beaten up too much in the past, and his eyes had particularly been targeted, which resulted in one of his eyes being bigger than the other. Coupled with his preference for staying up late and his prominent dark circles, his entire demeanor seemed quite sleazy.
At that moment, with his mismatched eyes, he gazed affectionately at Gu Xiyan and after uttering an extremely self-loving speech, he struggled to get up from the ground, attempting to throw himself at Gu Xiyan, hoping she could heal his wounded soul with her broad-mindedness.
Seeing this, Gu Xiyan felt nauseated; noticing that he seemed to be recovering quickly, she quickly tugged on Mu Jinyu's sleeve and said, "Let's go, let's leave this guy be."
If it had been someone else, Gu Xiyan would have still worried and called an ambulance.
But Lin Feng, being unbearably narcissistic and excessively fond of indulging in his fantasies, was another story.
If she called an ambulance for him, he might misinterpret it all, thinking she still cared about him but was just pretending to be indifferent...
Ugh!
So, better not!
Let him fend for himself!
Gu Xiyan had initially planned to just leave, but after thinking it over, she suddenly took Mu Jinyu's arm and headed straight for the parking lot instead of returning to the office!
Lin Feng looked desperate, struggling to rise from the ground, but lacking the strength to do so, he could only watch helplessly as Gu Xiyan, with Mu Jinyu and Yu Linglong, walked away!
"Hey hey, don't go..." Lin Feng lay on the ground, weakly calling out.
"Huff..."
A gust of cold wind blew, and no one paid him any attention!
...
Gu Xiyan, walking arm in arm with Mu Jinyu and Yu Linglong toward the parking lot, quickly let go of Mu Jinyu's arm with a disgusted expression once she felt sure Lin Feng could no longer see them.
"What's with that face? Is that how you treat your boyfriend?"
Seeing Gu Xiyan's look of disgust, Mu Jinyu also felt pretty annoyed and retorted disdainfully.
"And you dare speak up, you're just my fake boyfriend! Who told you to sneak attack me just now?" Gu Xiyan snapped back at Mu Jinyu, eyes narrowed and bristling.
Mu Jinyu justified himself righteously, "That was just to shut him up for good, or else he'd keep blabbering non-stop, polluting my ears!"
After a pause, Mu Jinyu added casually, "Besides, our relationship isn't exactly pristine."
"You?!" Gu Xiyan, although somewhat mollified by the first part of what Mu Jinyu said, flew into a rage at his last remark, feeling an urge to pounce on him and bite!
Seeing her fierce look, Mu Jinyu sighed in exasperation, "Oh, come on, don't be so petty. I'll just let you kiss me back if that's the issue."
With that, Mu Jinyu looked helpless, turned his head to the side, pointed at his right cheek, and struck a pose as if allowing Gu Xiyan to take advantage of him.
"Argh!"
Gu Xiyan was so angry she wanted to bite him!
Mu Jinyu saw the situation and quickly dodged to the side.
Gu Xiyan lunged at him several times, but failed to bite him, and finally stopped in frustrated anger, glaring at him and saying, "I've realized that you're just as despicable as Lin Feng!"
Yu Linglong stood aside, watching the two bicker again, and could only shake her head helplessly without saying anything.
Hearing Gu Xiyan's words, Mu Jinyu raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, you mean to let me help you out and then kick me to the curb? Well, I won't be coming to help you next time."
Gu Xiyan wanted to say she didn't care indifferently, as she really didn't mind, but then she thought, what if she needed Mu Jinyu's support again someday, would it be bad if she completely offended him?
With this thought, her tone became softer and she said, "Alright, alright, how about I treat you to a meal?!"
Thinking that Lin Feng was still lying over there, and if she turned around and went back to the office right now, she would probably get entangled with him again. Besides, Lin Feng had caused a scene at noon, and she hadn't really eaten lunch, so taking this chance to treat Mu Jinyu to a meal could kill two birds with one stone.
However, she felt like she was still at a loss, seeing as she was the one attacked by Mu Jinyu, then teased by him relentlessly, and in the end, she had to treat him to a meal.
"Fine, I'll just consider it feeding a dog!"
Mu Jinyu, hearing this, stretched out his hand to touch his stomach, feeling a bit hungry as well.
He had hastily eaten some leftover porridge that Wen Rou had cooked in the morning when he went to take a nap at eleven o'clock, which wasn't filling at all. He didn't feel it much when he just woke up, but after beating up Lin Feng and using some physical energy, he suddenly felt hungry.
"Alright, remember it's you who's treating," Mu Jinyu nodded seriously and said, "Don't let me pay after eating, or go Dutch!"
"Do you think I lack that little money?!" Gu Xiyan, hearing Mu Jinyu's words, was aggravated by him again.
She thought to herself, why is this guy so stingy? Despite having already earned over three hundred thousand from her, he was even reluctant to treat her to a meal, although she didn't plan to eat a meal he treated. Still, it was uncomfortable just to hear that.
"That's good then, let's go," Mu Jinyu said with a satisfied smile.
Gu Xiyan glared at him, withdrew her gaze, and thought: People like him should stay single for a lifetime, no woman would like him!
Yu Linglong, standing aside, spoke gloomily, "Are you finally done arguing? You guys flirt and argue all day, I've almost had my fill of dog food…"
"Who has been flirting and arguing with him!" Gu Xiyan, hearing this, glared at her overly talkative best friend in annoyance.
Yu Linglong, not wanting to argue with Gu Xiyan, waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, let's hurry up and go. Any restaurant you like, I'm starving."
"Hmph!" Gu Xiyan snorted delicately, too lazy to look at Mu Jinyu. She moved forward again, leading him to the parking lot, then she made them get into the car and sped away from the parking lot, driving towards her favorite nearby restaurant.
After they finished eating, Mu Jinyu, picking his teeth with a toothpick, said, "Xiyan, you should take me home."
"I'm busy, not taking you. I also have to work," Gu Xiyan rolled her eyes and refused, "And don't call me Xiyan!"
Mu Jinyu uttered an "Oh," then stretched out his hand, opening his five fingers.
Seeing this, Gu Xiyan looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "What are you doing?!"
Mu Jinyu stated confidently, "Give me cab fare. I'll take a taxi home! You said you would reimburse me for my travel costs when I was coming over. Since you're not taking me back, of course, you should give me cab fare for my return!"
