Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Gaining an Advantage Yet Acting Innocent!

Mu Yan caught sight of someone approaching from the corner of her eye and looked up to see Ning Ze, a bit surprised, "Oh, Ning Ze, what are you doing here?"

As soon as she heard the name Ning Ze, Qin Xi’s hand trembled, and she followed Mu Yan’s gaze to see Ning Ze coming over.

She couldn’t help wanting to cover her face. What is this brat doing here?

With him here, wouldn’t their relationship be exposed?

She somewhat regretted not choosing a private room.

Ning Ze walked over in a few steps and smiled at Mu Yan, "Sister-in-law."

Mu Yan smiled and nodded, "What a coincidence."

"Not a coincidence." Ning Ze smiled slightly.

"Hmm?" Mu Yan was a bit puzzled.

Ning Ze glanced at Qin Xi sitting next to him and said, "Xi Xi, scoot over a bit."

Mu Yan was taken aback and looked at Qin Xi opposite her.

She kept her head down, as if avoiding something.

Xi Xi? That nickname sure is intimate.

A flash of insight crossed her mind, and she looked at the two of them, seemingly understanding something.

"I don’t know you." Qin Xi was still fighting to the end.

Ning Ze’s expression shifted slightly, "Xi Xi, what’s wrong? Have you lost your memory and can’t remember even your husband?"

Qin Xi, "..."

You’re the one with amnesia, your whole family’s got amnesia.

Right now, she really wanted to hold Ning Ze’s head and give him a beating.

"So the boyfriend Qin Xi mentioned was you." Mu Yan’s voice suddenly came from across the table.

Qin Xi was so embarrassed she couldn’t keep pretending dead. She looked at Mu Yan awkwardly, feeling exposed.

But Ning Ze seemed like he was on steroids, looking at Mu Yan with eager eyes, "Sister-in-law, did Xi Xi mention me in front of you?"

He thought Xi Xi was keeping it a secret from his sister-in-law all along.

Seeing the sparkle in his eyes, it was Mu Yan’s turn to feel awkward.

Well, she shouldn’t tell Ning Ze the truth, right?

After all, the little boyfriend Qin Xi mentioned was just an uneducated little brat.

But as an actress, she could get into character at any time.

She smiled slightly, "Yeah, I was surprised how you two ended up together."

"That’s just fate." Ning Ze immediately said, then looked at Qin Xi with a big smile, "Right, Xi Xi?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Qin Xi had a headache just seeing him. Staying in Upper City these days, he pestered her every day. She finally got out for a meal, and he followed her here. Can’t she get a bit of freedom?

Of course, what surprised her most was how quickly Mu Yan accepted things and even helped her cover it up.

Reluctantly, Qin Xi scooted further in, and Ning Ze plopped down beside her, nudging closer to her to show intimacy.

Mu Yan pretended not to notice, focusing on eating her food.

As soon as Ning Ze sat down, he eagerly urged Mu Yan to eat, and even thoughtfully picked out the fish bones for Qin Xi and put the fish in her bowl.

Qin Xi looked at Mu Yan, full of helplessness.

Mu Yan winked at her, "Don’t get a good deal and then play dumb."

Finally, as the meal ended, Jiang Jingheng arrived to pick them up.

In the parking lot, Mu Yan, holding Jiang Jingheng’s arm, waved at Qin Xi and Ning Ze.

"We’re leaving, let’s meet up next time."

"Sure, next time it’s on me. I’ll treat you and Brother Jiang to a good meal." Ning Ze said with a smile.

Qin Xi stomped on Ning Ze’s foot, "Are you implying I didn’t treat Mu Yan well?"

Ning Ze endured the pain in his foot, smiling apologetically at Qin Xi, "Of course not, Xi Xi’s treat is always delicious."

Qin Xi turned her face away, not bothering to acknowledge him.

Ning Ze gave Jiang Jingheng and Mu Yan an awkward but polite smile and waved.

Mu Yan suppressed a laugh, tugging Jiang Jingheng back to the car.
