Chapter 102: She Grabbed Onto His Arm

When Jiang Xun received the message, she didn’t know why, but she was so nervous that she could hardly sit still. Her heartbeat was also awfully fast.

Jiang Xun went to the door and waited, listening for Mufeng’s footsteps.

She didn’t know why, but she just couldn’t bring herself to sit quietly.

After a while, she heard footsteps, but they didn’t sound like Mufeng’s.

Suddenly, someone rang the doorbell of the room opposite hers—Mufeng’s room.

She tilted her head, puzzled. Just as she was about to open the door to see who it was, she heard a woman’s voice.

“Mr. Qin.”

Mufeng had just returned with the barbecue when he heard Ruhan calling for him.

From her position behind the door, Jiang Xun curled her lips in displeasure. After Yu Mingshu had failed, along came a lost little Li Ruhan. Mufeng must have his hands full.

“What’s the matter?” Mufeng’s expression was cold as he spoke.

Ruhan was stunned, and she couldn’t help but look at the takeout in Mufeng’s hands. It smelled strongly of barbeque.

Mufeng had an aloof and noble temperament, yet he was carrying such a big bag of barbecue. The scene was too shocking and unforgettable.

It was a long while before Ruhan finally managed to regain her composure. She could see that Mufeng was already getting impatient with her.

“The director said that since we had a hard time filming, we should have dinner together tonight,” Ruhan explained with a smile. “I came here to tell you this. I…don’t have your wechat, so I could only come to you directly.”

“Director Hou has my wechat and has already told me about it,” Mufeng said coldly. “There was really no need for you to come here.”

Ruhan’s smile froze. She had wanted to use this topic to successfully add Mufeng to her wechat.

But who knew that Mufeng was such a stubborn man!

“Then… Since I’m already here, why don’t we go together?” Ruhan rearranged her smile and continued, “It’s not far. It’s just beside the hotel.”

“I’ve already told director Hou that I’m not free.” With the bag of barbecue food in hand, Mufeng walked into his own room. He didn’t want Ruhan to see him enter Jiang Xun’s room directly.

While he wasn’t afraid that people would misunderstand his relationship with Jiang Xun, he just didn’t want others to gossip about her.

Mufeng stood at the door and opened the door without swiping his card. He said impatiently, “I hope you won’t come looking for me again, lady. If others see you, they will misunderstand.”

Ruhan froze on the spot. Did Mufeng really not remember her name, or did he do it on purpose?

Seeing that she still wasn’t moving, Mufeng frowned and his face darkened. “Why are you still here? Scram!”

Ruhan did not know how to react this time.

If she left just like that, she would not be satisfied and it would be too embarrassing.

However, she didn’t know what to say to save face even if she stayed.

Mufeng suddenly took out his phone and dialed in a number. “Director Hou, this is Qin Mufeng. I told you before that I was too tired and didn’t want to go to the dinner party. A lady called Li Ruhan came to me and is refusing to leave me alone. Please come and take her away.”

“Mr. Qin!” Ruhan couldn’t care less about her scream at this point, even though Guanglin, who was on the other end of Mufeng’s phone, might have heard her. “I’ll leave now!”

She couldn’t let Guanglin come over, or she would be utterly humiliated!

Ruhan never expected that Mufeng would call Guanglin like that and not give her any face at all.

How would she be able to show up in the program team in the future?

After Mufeng hung up the phone, Ruhan didn’t even bother to say goodbye. She didn’t even dare to look at him again.

If she did, who knew what else he would do to embarrass her?

Ruhan turned around and walked away. She took a turn and when she was about to reach the elevator, she received a call from Guanglin.

Of course, Guanglin wouldn’t come to pick her up personally. How embarrassing would that be?

Since Mufeng had said so much, Ruhan wouldn’t insist on it.

“Teacher Li, where are you now? We are all here and waiting for you.” Guanglin didn’t mention anything about the phone call with Mufeng.

Even though he knew that Ruhan was beside him just now, he still pretended that it hadn’t happened and gave her a way out.

Ruhan’s face was burning as she whispered, “I’m going out. I’ll be there soon.”

“Okay.” Guanglin hung up the phone with a small smile.

Ruhan pressed the button for the elevator. When the doors opened, she headed in.

After Ruhan left, Mufeng turned around and saw that Jiang Xun’s guest room door was open with a slight crack.

He didn’t know how long Jiang Xun had been eavesdropping, but the moment she saw him looking over, she immediately closed the door.

Fortunately, Mufeng reacted quickly and blocked the door in time. Through the tiny crack in the door, he saw a little of her pale face. “I brought back some barbecue. If you don’t eat it quickly, it won’t taste good if it gets cold,” he said.

Jiang Xun lowered her eyes and glanced at the big bag in Mufeng’s hand. After a brief moment, she let go of the door and let Mufeng in.

Mufeng heaved a sigh of relief. However, he heard Jiang Xun grunt as soon as he entered the door. She turned around and walked in, ignoring him.

Mufeng hurriedly followed him in. When he saw Jiang Xun’s sullen face, he could tell that she was obviously angry.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, nervous.

Jiang Xun crossed her arms and gave Mufeng a cold smile. She curled her lips and said, “You were quite polite to Ruhan.”

“Polite?” Mufeng thought about it innocently. He was not polite to Ruhan at all.

“Ha!” Jiang Xun sneered. “What did you tell me at that time? You said that every time I met you, it was a premeditated plot. You said that the Jiang family and I conspired against you and that you were not interested in a little girl who had not fully developed yet. Now that you’ve met someone who really is interested in you, why are you suddenly so polite?”

Jiang Xun didn’t want to dig up the past, but when she peeked through the crack in the door, she suddenly thought of what Mufeng had said to her when he had misunderstood her.

He had said such harsh words to her, but hadn’t said a single harsh word to Ruhan.

Why didn’t he say that Ruhan was shameless? Why didn’t he say that he wasn’t interested in Ruhan anymore?

Thinking about it, Ruhan’s figure…wasn’t even better than hers!

Jiang Xun didn’t know why, but her anger rushed out of her throat and she couldn’t hold it in any more.

Unexpectedly, Mufeng suddenly turned around and walked toward the door.

Jiang Xun was stunned for a moment and hurriedly chased after him to stop him. “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to scold her again,” Mufeng said as he continued to walk towards the door.

Jiang Xun could only grab his arm. “She’s already gone, why are you still going to scold her?”

What did she do earlier?

Mufeng actually felt that his attitude just now was quite merciless, but he didn’t expect Jiang Xun to feel that it was still not merciless enough.

However, he’d learned his lesson this time. “I’ll scold her again the next time I see her. In the future, if anyone comes looking for me, I’ll scold them fiercely.”
