Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Overbearing Not Allowed_1

She thought it over but still didn’t know how to answer the question. Besides, Meng Can was sitting right across from her. If she said it was a woman, Meng Can would surely end their friendship. But if she said it was a man, Mu Yingchen might just start jumping to conclusions again.

She hummed twice to Mu Yingchen on the phone but didn’t specify a gender.

Who is Mu Yingchen? Hearing her hemming and hawing, he instantly concluded she was dining with a man.

He suppressed the fury within and squeezed through gritted teeth, "A man?"

Su Wanxia helplessly touched her forehead, sighing deeply with exasperation.

Dear God, did she no longer have the right to eat with male friends? No way--

"Where?" Mu Yingchen spat out another question through clenched teeth.

This time, Su Wanxia became obedient and spoke slowly, "Just that Chinese restaurant."

"I’m on my way." After hearing the location from Su Wanxia, he dropped that line and hung up, not even giving her time to react.

Listening to the dial tone, Su Wanxia recalled the last thing he said before hanging up. He’s coming over? Heavens! Why is he coming?

Meng Can saw her dazed and helpless look and couldn’t help but chuckle, "Summer, what’s wrong?"

Although she had said only a few words, he could roughly make out it had been Mu Yingchen’s call, but why did she have that look on her face?

"Uh, Can, that, Mu Yingchen said he’s coming too, hehe, sorry about that." Su Wanxia’s words tumbled out incoherently.

She was truly about to lose her patience. Wasn’t she just out for dinner? Did he really need to act like this, making it seem as if she wasn’t just eating out but was having a secret rendezvous with another man?

Hearing her, Meng Can smiled with an unspoken amusement.

Then he casually said, "No problem, the more the merrier."

Su Wanxia saw that Meng Can didn’t seem to mind and immediately felt relieved, "Hehe, that’s good."

It didn’t take long for Mu Yingchen to arrive.

Since Su Wanxia and Meng Can were sitting by a window in the main hall on the first floor, not too far from the entrance, the waitstaff all cordially greeted him as he entered, making it hard to miss the chorus of "Young Master Mu."

Upon Mu Yingchen’s arrival, the waitstaff immediately glanced over at Su Wanxia and Meng Can’s table, their gazes akin to those witnessing a woman caught in adultery.

Perhaps they were all waiting to see how Mu Yingchen would handle this awkward situation.

His girlfriend caught in a tryst with another man and he walks in on them—surely what would follow had to be a fierce showdown.

Amidst the expectations of many, Mu Yingchen approached Su Wanxia and Meng Can’s table with his characteristic grace.

Su Wanxia stood up first and then offered a slight smile to him, who was clearly not in the best of moods.

To others, it was a faint smile, but in truth, it was a wry one.

As Mu Yingchen drew closer, Meng Can suddenly stood up from his seat and naturally extended his hand.

"Mr. Mu, long time no see."

Mu Yingchen stood beside the dining table, briefly hesitating before reaching out his hand, "Actually, it hasn’t been that long."

Su Wanxia’s lips twitched; this man was definitely here to show up Meng Can.

"Hehe, let’s not stand on ceremony, please sit down."

Hearing Su Wanxia say this, Mu Yingchen and Meng Can both let go of their hands at the same time.

"You sit inside," Mu Yingchen directed the still-standing Su Wanxia.

Su Wanxia was speechless; fine, she would sit inside.

This abrupt shift in the scene left the waitstaff baffled. Wasn’t a fierce confrontation expected? How come they all sat down together so amiably? Could it be they all knew each other?

---They had been excited in their hearts for so long.

Their seating arrangement was a table for four, two people on each side facing each other.

Originally, Su Wanxia was supposed to sit across from Meng Can, but when Mu Yingchen arrived, it turned into two men sitting opposite each other, leaving Su Wanxia sitting on the inside, with the seat across from her empty.

Anyone who didn’t know better might think it was two brothers having dinner, with one of them bringing his wife along.

Su Wanxia sighed repeatedly in her heart. Since when had Mu Yingchen become so petty and jealous?

"Maybe we should order some dishes that you like?" Su Wanxia turned to Mu Yingchen beside her and spoke.

"No need, I like whatever you like," Mu Yingchen replied softly to her, his voice even gentler than usual when he was with her.

Su Wanxia’s heart chilled instantly. It was over; she could already foresee how miserable her next couple of days would be.

"Hehe, is that so? That’s good, that’s good."

With a trace of light in his deep eyes, Mu Yingchen shifted his gaze to Meng Can sitting opposite and spoke lightly, "Mr. Meng is going back to the company soon, isn’t he?"

Meng Can smiled and replied, "Yes, I’ll be returning tomorrow."

"Once you leave this time, who knows when we will see each other again." Mu Yingchen’s tone was casual but seemed to hint at something more.

Wanwan could not discern his thoughts, but as a man himself, how could he fail to see Meng Can’s intentions?

He had assumed that his Wanxia was having a meal with some male friend, never expecting it to be him. It nearly drove him mad---

Meng Can felt tumultuous inside after hearing Mu Yingchen’s words.

That remark truly hit a sore spot for him. Even he didn’t know when they could meet again.

However, he believed that they would meet again someday.

"Hehe, nowadays transportation is so developed, wanting to meet is just a matter of deciding to do so."

"True, as Wanwan’s friend, Mr. Meng, you must come to our wedding," Mu Yingchen said.

Meng Can’s grip involuntarily tightened, "Hehe, I will."

Upon hearing him suddenly mention a wedding, Su Wanxia tensed for a moment and then quickly returned to normal.

Watching the two of them chatting back and forth happily, she could only hang her head in boredom.

It seemed she was just there as a mere accessory.

Through the entire meal, Mu Yingchen and Meng Can chatted quite merrily, discussing everything from family to business cooperations, and from there to mutual benefits and so on, leaving no opportunity for Su Wanxia to interject.

Of course, that was just her personal perception.

Whether the conversation was genuinely merry or not, only they themselves knew.

When they left the restaurant, it was time for Meng Can to return.

Before leaving, he looked deeply at Su Wanxia and gently wished her happiness before driving off into the distance.

She watched the car getting further and further away, furrowed her brows, and murmured, "Why do I feel like Can is a bit off?"

She always felt there was something in his eyes that she couldn’t understand, and his departing figure seemed somewhat desolate? She wasn’t quite sure.

"What’s off? It’s you who should be giving me a proper explanation," Mu Yingchen said, looking at Su Wanxia with a hint of displeasure and a threatening tone.

Su Wanxia certainly caught the implication in his words and immediately put on a beaming face.

"What’s there to explain? He’s leaving, so I treated him to a meal, what’s the harm in that?"

Mu Yingchen pulled her in front of him, his hands on her shoulders, gazing at her intensely as he spoke commanding, "From now on, you’re not allowed to have meals alone with another man, you can’t get too close to friends of the opposite sex, and you certainly can’t do anything behind my back."
