Chapter 326: Chapter 326 This Tea is Excellent!
Eyes met, dark currents surged simultaneously in the eyes of the two men.
Lu Xining saw the man coming out from the inside, his disguise makeup already faded, revealing Ji Muye’s flawless handsome face.
But wait! Where did his clothes go?
The man, now only wearing a pair of black trousers, had wet hair which seemed freshly washed and not dried properly, with droplets of water still dripping from the ends.
"Why didn’t you say we have guests?"
Ji Muye smiled as he walked towards Lu Xining and Shang Lvxing.
The hand that subconsciously reached to embrace her waist paused when he saw Shang Lvxing’s look, giving off the impression that he agreed with Lu Xining not to expose their relationship in public, yet his body language often unintentionally sought contact.
"Say what?" What does she have to say to him.
And wasn’t he told not to come out? What is he doing now?
Lu Xining felt like she was seeing the grown-up Ji Ze, and she finally understood where some of Ji Ze’s occasional behaviors came from!
Ji Muye curled his lips into a smile: "Indeed, after all, it’s just a guest."
"If Mr. Shang visits Jingzhou next time, you can contact me. If I’m free, I will treat you well to thank you..."
He slightly tilted his head, his eyes softly falling on Lu Xining beside him, giving an immediate sense of ’the relationship between them has already made a qualitative leap’.
"Thank you for giving my child’s mother a cooperation opportunity."
Machiavellian? Green tea? Is he out of his mind?
Lu Xining felt like the man in front of her was possessed by ’green tea’, his words heavily laced with the taste of green tea.
Facing Ji Muye’s deliberate provocation, Shang Lvxing was not affected at all.
"I’ll have someone send over a dress tomorrow morning, and I’ll pick you up in the evening."
"No need, the mother of our child doesn’t lack a dress. Mr. Shang, keep your dress for your Shang Yueling. I hear your father has already arranged a marriage for you."
Shang Lvxing’s eyes narrowed dangerously, "Mr. Ji, it’s true she’s the mother of my child, but she is also her own person."
"Repeatedly calling her the mother of your child, isn’t that a bit disrespectful?"
Hidden behind his disheveled hair, his dark eyes filled with intense warning, Ji Muye possessively said, "Of course she is herself."
"Similarly, she is also the mother of my child. What’s the problem with these two facts coexisting?"
Ji Muye’s gaze was like that of a beast ready to pounce, yet his words still carried a weird taste of tea.
"Mr. Shang, interpreting and slandering my words like this, are you trying to Poach someone under my nose?"
Shang Lvxing’s eyebrows twitched slightly, his lips twitching slightly, surprised that Ji Muye could say such things.
But he wasn’t the type to be pointed at with words without doing anything in return.
Shang Lvxing immediately struck back.
"Mr. Ji, do you even have a corner left to be poached? As far as I know, weren’t you ousted from the game two years ago, with your divorce papers still sitting at home?"
The chat content of the two men leading edges, caused Lu Xining’s face to drop in dismay.
Originally, Ji Muye came out while she was sending Shang Lvxing to the door, Lu Xining directly pushed Ji Muye towards the door, standing together with Shang Lvxing.
She said with a forced smile, "If you two enjoy chatting so much, why don’t you go outside to chat?"
"It’s getting late, I have work tomorrow, I need to rest now. You two, take care on your way out."
With a snap!
The black office door closed in front of Ji Muye and Shang Lvxing.
Compared to the impeccably dressed Shang Lvxing, Ji Muye, now only in black trousers, seemed quite chill in contrast.
The window at the end of the corridor was open for ventilation.
The chilly evening breeze approaching winter is just as lethal as the winter’s cold wind.
Shang Lvxing’s deep eyes swept over the man whose upper garment had vanished, slowly pulling up a mocking smile.
"Mr. Ji has to rely on his charm to seduce now, doesn’t he?"
Hearing his thinly veiled mockery, Ji Muye, not to be outdone, retorted, "What can I do? After all, she just loves my... body."
Emphasizing the last two words heavily, they became the catalyst for the undercurrent surging between the two men.
Shang Lvxing’s gaze suddenly narrowed, focusing on some un-melted ointment behind Ji Muye’s cheek, falling into prolonged silence.
Noticing his contemplative look, Ji Muye also thought of something.
He pretended to casually turn his body to avoid his gaze.
Shang Lvxing’s phone vibrated, he glanced at the caller ID, gave Ji Muye a significant look, then turned and walked towards the elevator.
Once the man had left, Ji Muye gently knocked on the door, telling the interior’s Lu Xining, "My clothes are still inside."
Indeed, as he suspected, Lu Xining had not returned to the rest room.
The person was right behind this door.
But hearing his shameless words, Lu Xining directly went back to the rest room, picked up his clothes that he had changed out of, and threw them out of the office door.
Ji Muye: "..."
Returning to the rest room, Lu Xining entered the bathroom and saw a black bottle appear in the trash can, which was originally empty.
There were no labels on it.
She knew it was the solution used to remove Ji Muye’s disguise from his face.
Lu Xining remembered the person who suddenly appeared in front of the car before — it was likely also using this substance to disguise themselves as her grandmother.
It was similar to the special effects makeup used in movies.
Only a few highly skilled and superb individuals could mold a face from a photograph achieving a visual effect identical to the real person.
But in the whole world, such capable individuals are few and far between.
And domestically, she knew of only one person.
Early the next morning,
Shang Lvxing had someone send a pure white evening dress to Lu Xining; a strapless simple style, yet the delicate feel of satin and the rose made of light gauze at the chest gave an elegant yet lively impression.
However, just after Lu Xining received the dress sent by Shang Lvxing, she heard from her female assistant that someone else had also sent her a dress.
It was the exact opposite color selected by Shang Lvxing, a pure and pristine black.
Xu Zhi happened to come over to discuss matters with her, seeing the completely different styles of the two gifts, he couldn’t help but speculate about the second unmarked dress sent by whom.
Lu Xining actually already had a guess in her mind.
Regarding Ji Muye’s actions, she didn’t understand but respected them, though it was merely respect.
Late at night.
Lu Xining put on the dress sent by Shang Lvxing.
The sole reason for her choice was because of the banquet they were attending tonight and the person they were going to meet.
She just hadn’t expected Ji Muye to also be there.
The man, originally chatting with someone nearby, immediately darkened in complexion when he saw the style of the dress she was wearing.
He stood a few meters away from Lu Xining, his gaze cold as he watched her, the curvature of his lips colder than the frost of winter.
