Chapter 235: He, the ex-husband, decides to sacrifice himself
"Have you met him?"
"We’ve crossed paths a few times."
Munni pursed her lips and stared at Xu Yisen’s face as he restrained his amusement. Amid his refined features lingered a hint of latent wariness, indicating he didn’t wish for Munni to continue this topic.
"What kind of person is he?"
Xu Yisen naturally noticed the stubborn attitude in her eyes. He didn’t answer Munni’s question, but instead asked, "Why is Munni suddenly interested in Yu Ge’s brother?"
Munni scrutinized every minor emotional change on his face, recognizing his subconscious reluctance. She shrugged, "Just asked off the cuff. If you don’t want to say, never mind."
Finishing her sentence, she turned around and stepped into the elevator to go upstairs. Xu Yisen followed her and explained, "His brother isn’t as handsome as me, nor is he as good at pampering his wife. So you might as well give up on gathering intel on his brother."
"...!"
Munni only then realized that she and Xu Yisen were not on the same wavelength.
Seeing her silently walking ahead, Xu Yisen hurriedly changed the topic, "I heard tonight’s stars are beautiful. Want to watch them together?"
"Not interested."
"I heard tonight’s moon is full. Want to gaze at it together?"
"Not interested."
"I heard..."
"You should leave now; I’m very tired."
"You must have chatted too much with Yuan Chengmo today and got tired, so you should keep some distance from him."
"...!"
Munni stopped in front of the door, glancing disdainfully back at Xu Yisen over his fabricated nonsense.
"Don’t linger at my place, you’re affecting my chances of finding a new partner, just leave, leave." She waved her hand, urging Xu Yisen to depart promptly.
"Do you really need to find a partner? There’s one ready-made, standing right in front of you."
"Oh, dear me, I better go back to my room and dream of a young hottie instead. Goodbye."
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly turned the doorknob, pushed the door open, and swiftly closed it, shutting Xu Yisen out.
Xu Yisen gazed at the door that cut him off from Munni and let out a soft laugh.
As he turned to leave and descended the stairs, Munni’s earlier inquiry about Xia Yuge’s brother suddenly flashed in his mind.
Thinking of this, a hint of complexity surfaced on his finely-featured face.
Why is Munni suddenly interested in Xia Weifu? Could it be... Did she discover something?
...
Having finally regained his freedom, Yuan Chengmo spent half a day lingering in Munni’s restaurant each day before the coffee shop opened, only leaving after closing time.
Munni’s position within the restaurant was practically dispensable, she was very idle, and Yuan Chengmo’s companionship considerably improved her free time.
However, Xu Yisen seemed quite dissatisfied with this, worried that the close daily contact between Munni and Yuan Chengmo might spark inappropriate feelings.
Her ex-husband decided to sacrifice himself and relocated his work station into the restaurant.
He was definitely not jealous; he was just kindly supervising them to prevent any misbehavior, that’s all!
The relationship among the three became a topic of eager gossip among the restaurant staff.
Additionally, even diners occasionally sensed something amiss when encountering the trio.
Thus, not long after, news of a love triangle involving the three of them broke online, where netizens ridiculed Munni for two-timing.
"Munni, why don’t we just get together? That way, these senseless rumors would be defeated naturally."
Munni glanced up, her expression calm while nestled in the sofa with a book, at Xu Yisen, who has lately been lingering around during the day and freeloading meals and working in her living room at night.
