Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Hmph, you only make me feel even worse

Just moments ago, standing by Munni’s side, he could clearly sense the anger emanating from her. He also noticed how the veins on the back of her hand holding the bag stood out prominently, indicating her effort to restrain her emotions in front of reporters.

And he... finally realized the meaning of what Yuan Chengmo said to him at the time and the intent behind it.

When Munni walked to the door, the doorman had already parked her car outside and thoughtfully opened the car door for her.

She politely thanked the doorman and was about to bend to sit in the driver’s seat when she saw Yisen standing in front of the car, slightly furrowing his brows, gazing at her intently.

Munni distinctly felt that Yisen had something he wanted to say to her.

Sure enough, as she shifted her gaze towards him, he immediately spoke, "I want to talk to you."

Munni curved her lips in a mocking manner, a sharp light flashing through her dark eyes. Her voice was cold as she said, "What, still want to take me for a change of scenery? Pah, you only make me feel worse."

With the last note of her voice falling, she withdrew her gaze, bent into the car, closed the door, fastened her seatbelt, and quickly sped away.

Yisen stood where he was, watching as her car vanished from sight, helplessly curving his thin lips, a deep remorse flowing through his profound eyes.

...

In the evening, Yisen stood at Munni’s doorstep holding a bouquet of champagne roses, intending to apologize to her.

However, Munni merely glanced at him expressionlessly through the monitor before continuing to embrace Bruce and returning to the study.

Yisen realized Munni did not want to see him, yet he persistently visited for three consecutive days.

Their next meeting was three days later, an unexpected encounter in a Western restaurant.

At that moment, Munni was lowering her head to reply to text messages while walking alongside Yuan Chengmo, following behind the waiter.

"Senior, Fujino said he would consider it, do you think I should..."

As she spoke, she slowly raised her head and glanced sideways at Yuan Chengmo next to her. But her words abruptly halted as her peripheral vision caught two familiar figures.

Sitting diagonally across was Yisen and Zhao Yaru, facing each other. Beside Zhao Yaru sat a man in a suit, with refined looks.

If she guessed correctly, the man was Zhao Yaru’s stepson, Zhang Chufeng, who had just been rescued last night.

For the past three days at home, Munni had been using her connections, asking them to help persuade Wu Shanxian’s husband, yet Wu Shanxian’s husband completely refused her without sparing any face.

Last night, she received news that Zhang Chufeng had left prison. She assumed Zhao Yaru, anxious to save Zhang Chufeng, must have used some means, thus she didn’t think much of it.

But now, seeing the three harmoniously sitting at the dining table, Munni had already guessed who had rescued Zhang Chufeng from prison.

A surge of inexplicable anger inexplicably arose within her, and the originally charming brows were now furrowed due to the scene before her.

Seeing her suddenly purse her red lips, her gaze fixed in one direction, Yuan Chengmo followed her gaze.

Just as he moved his eyes from Munni, in the next second, Munni had already sidestepped him and walked towards that table of people.

It wasn’t until she approached the table that the three of them noticed her presence.

"Munni, what are you doing here?" Zhao Yaru was the first to speak, her smile gentle yet loving. Somehow, Munni felt the smile was particularly fake.

"Yes, what a coincidence. By the way, I heard your stepson was released from prison yesterday. It’s really worth celebrating."
