Chapter 292 - 272: No Relation at All
Mu Shuoqian acted as if he hadn’t noticed the situation here, pulling out another napkin for Zhou Xiaoyu,
Once upon a time, he treated her the same, except back then in his eyes she was only a stand-in for Zhou Xiaoyu. He couldn’t be nice to Zhou Xiaoyu,
Gu Qili tried hard to maintain her composure and indifference, pretending the man sitting there had nothing to do with her.
Once the issue with the wine was resolved, she said "Enjoy your meal" and turned away to leave.
What she couldn’t see was Mu Shuoqian, who had been elegantly eating, clenching the fist by his side tighter and tighter until he finally slammed it down onto the chair.
"Shuoqian, here, this is for you." Qiu Yufei suddenly raised her glass, perhaps due to using too much strength, she couldn’t control it,
"Ah, I’m sorry, Shuoqian, I didn’t mean to." Qiu Yufei covered her mouth, showing a startled expression of having done something wrong, "I’m sorry."
Mu Shuoqian didn’t say anything but stood up and went to the restroom, as he had no appetite for this meal anyway, and it was good to find a place to calm down.
As soon as Mu Shuoqian left, Qiu Yufei said to Zhou Xiaoyu, "Miss Zhou, would you mind accompanying me to the restroom?"
"Sure." Zhou Xiaoyu agreed genially, taking a pack of tissues from her bag and leaving with Qiu Yufei.
Of the four people, only Qiu Lan was left. She calmly asked the waiter to call Gu Qili back again.
Gu Qili quickly came over, wearing a professional smile: "Ma’am, what can I do for you?"
