The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable

Chapter 51



Chapter 51

They did not know that the young woman was always the one making the first move.

Regardless of whether it was her intentional or unintentional approach to him ten years ago, or her accidental approach ten years after, in short, she was always the one making the first move, every single time.

...

To top it all off, this little thing’s greatest weapon was her ability to feign innocence in spite of being the main culprit.

Lu Jingzhi heard Li Yan’s cryptic words and was somewhat stunned.

The man sat languidly on the couch, and his expression was cold as before, but from time to time, his gaze fell onto that figure in the crowd.

Apart from Qiao Mu, no one else could get such attention from this man.

Since he cared so much about her, then why…

“Big brother, why didn’t you tell Qiao Mu that you were leaving when you went abroad that year?”

Upon hearing that, Li Yan’s gaze darkened as he lifted a brow. He glanced indifferently at Lu Jingzhi. He did not speak a word, but his gaze was a question, in and of itself.

Lu Jingzhi crossed his legs, his expression masterfully neutral. “After you left, I went to your house to get something for you. Qiao Mu ran over and asked for you. She clearly was unaware about your departure.”

Li Yan pursed his lips and an unknown emotion flashed across his eyes. Su Chen, who was sitting beside him, noticed that and silently dragged Lu Jingzhi with him to entertain the guests.

Lu Jingzhi was very reluctant as he followed behind Su Chen, “Big brother hasn’t answered me yet. Why did you bring me away?”

Su Chen glared at him, “You didn’t mention this back then, so why are you mentioning it now? Are you trying to get yourself into trouble?”

“Ahem… Didn’t I forget about it back then?”

Moreover, he always felt that Li Yan only deliberately acted like he cared about Qiao Mu back then to put on a show in front of Yu Tingyun and her daughter. The fact that he did not notify Qiao Mu when he left further confirmed this, so Lu Jingzhi had not taken it to heart.

…..

The guests became aware of Li Yan’s presence, and one by one, they came over to toast him.

Li Yan’s gaze swept across the crowd from time to time to catch that figure in white as he dealt with those who came forward to toast him.

She went to find him after he left? Did she not already know that he was leaving?

Li Yan stared at Qiao Mu’s side profile. Although she was a distance away from him, he could still clearly see that she was smiling politely. Suddenly, her expression changed, and then he saw the man and woman show up in front of her.

On the other end, Qiao Mu was accompanying Han Su as he greeted his acquaintances. Suddenly, a familiar voice said, “Mu Mu, why are you here?”

The voice sounded sweet and gentle, which was entirely unlike her usual sharp and unkind speaking style.

Qiao Mu smiled at the person who came forward, “Big sister, you’re here too. I’m accompanying my friend to this banquet.”

Qiao Ya had an appropriate smile on her face, but there was an unnoticeable hatred deep within her eyes. She smiled as she looked at Han Su, “Who is this? Is he your boyfriend?”

“This is my senior.” Qiao Mu introduced as she raised her head to meet Han Su’s gaze. She explained, “This is my big sister.”

Ever since Han Su knew that Li Yan was Qiao Mu’s uncle, he already knew that she was the daughter of the Qiao family. So he was not surprised when he met Qiao Ya.

Han Su nodded politely toward Qiao Ya, and then turned his gaze toward the man beside her and smiled, “Young Master Lin, long time no see.”

Lin Xian smiled as his gaze shifted toward Qiao Mu, “Young Master Han is so lucky to have such a beautiful female companion! Young Ya, is this your biological younger sister? I didn’t think that your younger sister would be on par with your beauty.”

Lin Xian stared lustfully at Qiao Mu, and Qiao Mu was very disgusted by his gaze. She did not know where Qiao Ya met such a tacky man.
