Gong Yue didn’t know where Yue Chi’s confidence came from, but she wouldn’t lose anything by giving it a try. She didn’t care. “Alright, sure. It’s settled.”
With something to look forward to, Gong Yue worked even harder to ask Gong Han out.
Just as Yue Chi had said, it was indeed a little difficult to meet Gong Han during this period of time because Gong Han said that she was sick and hid in her room every day.
Hence, Gong Yue asked for a long time. It was only when Gong Han could no longer refuse that Gong Han agreed to Gong Yue’s date.
On Monday morning, Wei Ji stood under Lin Yin’s dormitory building with his books. However, before Lin Yin could arrive, Wei Ji was targeted by a tall and cold man not far away.
Mu Heng waved at Wei Ji with a calm expression. Wei Ji’s heart was in his throat. He did not know why Mu Heng was looking for him, but just looking at Mu Heng’s expression, he felt that it was not something good.
He did not have much contact with the Mu family and had only met them a few times.
Wei Ji obediently walked towards Mu Heng and said in a low voice, “Young Master Mu, you were looking for me?”
Looking at Wei Ji’s submissive appearance, Mu Heng’s dissatisfaction was mixed with pity. “What are you doing here?”
Wei Ji hugged his books tightly. He was clearly about the same height as Mu Heng, but he lowered his head and did not even have the courage to look straight at him. He said carefully, “I’m waiting for my cla.s.smate to go to cla.s.s with me.”
“A female cla.s.smate? Is she your girlfriend?” Mu Heng asked. Then, he chuckled and said, “Usually, boys wait downstairs for their girlfriends.”
Wei Ji immediately looked up in panic and explained, “No, we’re not boyfriend and girlfriend. We’re just cla.s.smates. Young Master Mu, you can’t spout nonsense. It’ll ruin a girl’s reputation.”
Hearing Wei Ji’s explanation, Mu Heng’s expression relaxed slightly. He smiled and said, “Why are you so nervous? I was just saying.”
“I see that you’re not young anymore and can date. What does your female cla.s.smate’s family do? What’s her personality like? If she’s not bad, you can try,” Mu Heng continued.
Wei Ji was a little stunned by Mu Heng’s question and said anxiously, “I really have nothing to do with her. I don’t know her family’s situation either. Young Master Mu, stop asking.”
Mu Heng smiled at Wei Ji’s extremely embarra.s.sed expression and looked at Lin Yin, who was walking towards them. He smiled and said, “You’re waiting for Lin Yin, right?”
Wei Ji also turned to look at the girl walking towards them and nodded. “Yes, Young Master Mu knows Lin Yin too? Are you guys very close?”
Mu Heng retracted his gaze and looked into Wei Ji’s eyes. “Yes, I’m very familiar with her. I’m also a small shareholder of the Shisheng Corporation.”
Wei Ji turned to look at Mu Heng in surprise. “Really?”
Mu Heng looked into Wei Ji’s eyes, as if he wanted to find out if Wei Ji really did not know about this.
Wei Ji’s eyes were filled with doubt and even confusion. This made Mu Heng slightly retract his suspicion of Wei Ji and ask with a smile, “Don’t you know? I thought this would be easy to investigate.”
Wei Ji smiled and shook his head. “I really don’t know. Besides, why would I investigate that?”
“Then do you know Lin Yin’s parents?” Mu Heng continued to ask.
Wei Ji still shook his head and looked at Lin Yin, who was a few steps away, with pity on his face. He asked, “Didn’t you say that Lin Yin is an orphan?”
Seeing that Wei Ji really didn’t seem to know Lin Yin’s ident.i.ty and that Lin Yin was approaching, Mu Heng stopped asking.
Lin Yin was also very happy to see Mu Heng. She smiled and asked, “Brother Mu Heng, why are you here so early? What’s the matter? Are you here to look for Wei Ji?”
Mu Heng smiled. “No, I happened to have something on when I came to school, so I wanted to see how you’ve been doing at school recently. Coincidentally, I saw Wei Ji waiting for you downstairs, so I chatted with him.”
“I’m doing well. I’m quite used to it. However, we’re going to cla.s.s later, so I can’t accompany you around,” Lin Yin said with a natural smile. Her conversation with Mu Heng also exuded a harmonious atmosphere.
“You don’t have to accompany me,” Mu Heng said with a smile. Then, he handed a bag to Lin Yin. “This is the dessert I brought for you. Madam Ye Wen specially woke up early in the morning to make it. Try it.”
Lin Yin took the dessert from Mu Heng’s hand and said happily, “Help me say thank you.”
