“I’m afraid, of course, Pm afraid. My Mom said that Pm not allowed to date before I graduate from university.” Yang Jingyi said bitterly.
Like Hu Chunli, Yang Jingyi was also an accountant.
The accounting major was a four-year program. When she graduated, she was only twenty years old.
Her situation was special, and Hu Chunli had always treated her like a treasure.
She definitely didn’t want her to fall in love too early.
“Your mother didn’t allow you to date, but you still did?” Ji Yuanyuan teased.
On the other side, Yang Jingyi was silent for a moment before saying, “But he’s good to me, especially good to me. I can’t help it.”
Ji Yuanyuan was half happy and half worried about Yang Jingyi’s relationship.
She was happy Yang Jingyi had finally let go of her feelings for Ji Zixuan and was going for her own feelings.
She was worried that if Yang Jingyi’s boyfriend knew about her situation, would he still treat her so well? Would he hurt her?
However, on second thought, Ji Yuanyuan felt she was worrying too much.
Other than her and Qin Mucheng, how many couples who were together in university could make it to the end?
Probably not even one-fifth of the total?
Many couples broke up after graduation.
Even if she was worried, she would have to wait a few years before worrying, right?
“What’s his situation? I can not tell anyone, but you have to find a time to bring him to see Fang Xinyi and me.” Ji Yuanyuan said.
She and Fang Xinyi would help to keep an eye on the situation, so she could be more at ease.
Yang Jingyi hesitated and said, “He’s quite busy. Let me discuss it with him. If he has time, I’ll bring him to meet you.”
The next day, Li Xirui sent the location of the meal to Qin Mucheng before he got off work.
After work, Qin Mucheng tidied up the things on the table. He stood up and looked around in surprise, “Everyone, are you still not leaving? It’s almost time, right?”
She looked at Qin Mucheng in surprise and thought to herself, “It was time to get off work, but the leader had not left. Who dared to leave? Why was this kid so arrogant today?”
However, on the surface, his colleague still said, “I still have some forms that I haven’t finished. You can go first. I still need a while.”
Qin Mucheng thought about it and nodded, “Alright, then I’ll leave first.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Li Xirui watched as Qin Mucheng left. She quickly packed up his things and left
as well.
When they reached the garage, Qin Mucheng felt something was amiss.
His colleagues’ reactions today were too strange. Why was there no atmosphere of a gathering at all?
He had already gotten into the car, but after hesitating for a moment, he got out and went back upstairs.
He looked around and saw that all his colleagues were in the office except for
Li Xirui.
Qin Mucheng’s frown deepened. He randomly found a colleague and asked, “Isn’t it the department gathering today? Why aren’t you moving?
“Department dinner? Who organized it?” The colleague looked at Qin Mucheng in confusion. “Who told you that? Our department didn’t arrange a gathering.” Qin Mucheng’s brows furrowed into a knot. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Soon, he seemed to have thought of something.
He looked up and smiled, “I’m sorry. I must have remembered wrongly.” He nodded at his colleague, “I still have something to do. I’ll be leaving first.” He had already finished his work for the dinner party tonight. Since it was done, there was no need to work overtime.
He turned around and left, leaving his colleague standing there with a dumbfounded expression.
Qin Mucheng returned to the underground garage and sat in the driver’s seat. He took out his phone and found Li Xirui’s contact information. He sent her a text message. ‘Something came up at the last minute, so I won’t be able to attend the gathering. I’m sorry.’
Li Xirui had specially found him and told him about the department gathering before he got off work yesterday.
Li Xirui had always been in charge of the department’s gatherings and other matters.
He didn’t have any close colleagues in the department. That was why he did not discuss the gathering with anyone else for the entire day.
If he hadn’t been more careful just now, he might have foolishly gone to the appointment.
Li Xirui probably knew his personality, so she lied.
Qin Mucheng could roughly guess why she was lying.
How could a woman lie and ask a man out for a meal just to freeload?
Obviously not.
However, in order to not make things awkward for both of them, he did not expose Li Xirui’s lie just now. He only gave her a way out.
If Li Xirui was smart enough, no one would mention this matter in the future and just pretend that it never happened.
At the thought of this, he took out his phone and sent Ji Yuanyuan another message, “My dinner party tonight has been canceled. I’ll look for you after dinner. Send me your cla.s.s location.”
Ji Yuanyuan was probably still busy and did not reply to his message.
Qin Mucheng started the car and drove towards B University.
At this moment, in a car not far away, Li Xirui retracted his gaze from Qin Mucheng’s car and looked at his phone with a face full of disappointment.
A moment later, she started the car and followed.
Ji Yuanyuan only saw Qin Mucheng’s message when she came out of the canteen.
Half an hour had pa.s.sed since Qin Mucheng sent the message.
Half an hour was enough for Qin Mucheng to come to their school from the company.
Ji Yuanyuan quicldy returned the call to Qin Mucheng.
“Are you at the school gate?” Ji Yuanyuan asked as soon as the call connected.
“Yes, at the back door.” Qin Mucheng whispered.
“just you wait. I’ll go find you now.” Ji Yuanyuan quickly said.
She hung up the phone and dashed toward the back door.
When she reached the back door, she saw Qin Mucheng in a black suit standing in front of the car. He looked like a character who had just walked out of a comic.
Ji Yuanyuan rushed toward Qin Mucheng and hugged him, “Why is the gathering suddenly canceled?”
Qin Mucheng hugged her back and said dotingly, “Compared to a gathering, I want to see you more.”
In the car not far away, Li Xirui looked at the smile on Qin Mucheng’s face and was momentarily stunned.
She had worked with Qin Mucheng for almost a year, but she had never seen him smile like this.
She smiled bitterly and was about to start the car to leave when her expression suddenly froze.
On the opposite side of the road, there was a man in a black hooded sweater staring at Qin Mucheng.
He put his hands in his pockets and looked around before slowly moving towards Qin Mucheng.
Halfway there, his hand came out of his pocket.
Li Xirui’s expression froze when she saw this.
The man was holding a cold knife.
Li Xirui subconsciously got out of the car and shouted at Qin Mucheng, “Qin Mucheng, get out of the way!”
Qin Mucheng looked over in surprise, his expression a little confused..
