Chapter 50

Qiao Mu mustered up her courage before she walked toward Li Yan. She really could not bear Li Yan’s scary gaze, so she lowered her head respectfully.

Could he stop glaring at her? His scary gaze was so accusatory.

She blinked innocently. What did she do wrong? Was she not just returning a favor?

Qiao Mu took a deep breath and smiled at Li Yan, “Uncle, you’re here too. what a coincidence!”

“A coincidence indeed!” The corners of Li Yan’s lips slightly turned upward. His voice was deep and charming, yet icy cold at the same time.

He looked up to look at Han Su, and his gaze inadvertently fell onto Han Su’s arm. Just now, his little thing’s hand had been wrapped around there!

Han Su could sense Li Yan’s coldness, and he was somewhat surprised. He still remained calm and collected when he said with a smile, “Hello, Young Master Li. I’m Han Su. We’ve met before.”

“We’ve indeed met before. You’re her boyfriend, right?”

The word “boyfriend” sounded ice-cold coming from Li Yan’s thin lips.

Han Su was stunned before he explained, “It was a misunderstanding last time. Didn’t Mu Mu explain to you? At that time, I didn’t know you were her uncle. I only said that I was her boyfriend to help her out of the situation. I’m just Mu Mu’s senior.”

Li Yan’s expression softened a little, but just slightly.

Mu Mu?

Lu Jingzhi was almost already certain about her identity after she called Li Yan “uncle”.

In Beijing, Qiao family’s daughter was the only person who could call Li Yan “uncle”. Qiao Ya, of course, would not receive such treatment. If it was not Qiao Ya, she must be…

Lu Jingzhi was somewhat uncertain when he looked at Su Chen. He said with a low voice, “Su Chen, who is this young woman?”

Su Chen glanced faintly at him, “She is who you think she is.”

Lu Jingzhi was stunned. She was really Qiao Mu!

It made sense after he thought about it. Over the years, not many women could earn a second glance from Li Yan, and Qiao Mu was the only one who could receive such attention from him.

He did not expect the treatment from ten years ago to remain the same after all this while.

Lu Jingzhi never saw Qiao Mu again after Li Yan went abroad, because Qiao Mu never attended any other events or banquets. Naturally, Young Master Lu, who could not remember women’s faces even after meeting them, did not remember Qiao Mu’s appearance. It was normal for him to not recognize her.

But Su Chen could recognize her with just one glance. Qiao Mu’s appearance had not changed much, and a while back, he happened to see a photo of Qiao Mu when she was younger.

Most importantly, it was because of Li Yan’s response just now. In a huge city like Beijing, Qiao Mu was the only person who could sway Li Yan’s emotions.

Su Chen stared at Qiao Mu. In his memory, the young girl always acted carefree and wild before Li Yan, but this young woman before them was lowering her head respectfully. She seemed terrified of Li Yan.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward. After Han Su greeted Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi, he said to Li Yan again, “Young Master Li, Mu Mu is my female companion tonight. Don’t worry, I’ll send her back to the campus safely after the banquet ends. I’ll bring her to the other side now.”

Qiao Mu smiled at Li Yan, “Uncle, I’ll come find you in a while.”

The man’s expression was so dark, and he was obviously angry. She did not dare leave him as it is.

Li Yan watched as Han Su took Qiao Mu away, but remained silent.

Lu Jingzhi was very curious when he asked, “Big brother, ten years have already passed. Why are you getting your hands on Qiao Mu again? You acted really fast!”

Li Yan picked up a glass of red wine and swirled it around before taking a sip. His voice sounded indifferent as he said matter-of-factly, “I’m not the one who made the first move.”
