Lin Sisi felt that her emergency response just now was extremely clever, and there was even a hint of pride in her words. In Mu Jingxian's eyes, she suddenly seemed adorable.

The corners of his mouth curled even deeper.

Mu Jingxian asked softly: "Why can't we let them know? Do they hate me?"

This question hit the nail on the head. The smile on Lin Sisi's face disappeared, and she hummed in embarrassment.

"That's not the way to say it. I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."

She scratched her hair and continued, "Although Song Xiaoqian's parents are easy to talk to, it's very tiring to really explain. For example, last time I just woke up from the hospital, and then you suddenly ran to my place to talk to me. Afterwards, I had to explain for a long time before they didn't pursue the matter."

Mu Jingxian recalled the events of their first meeting and suddenly felt that he was really overwhelmed by reality at the time and was not rational at all.

Her impulsive actions at that time actually brought her such trouble later.

"Then how did you explain it?"

"I said that our school was holding an event and invited famous people in the business world to be lecturers, and you were one of them. I happened to be chosen to debate with you on stage, and that's how we met."

"I never attend these vulgar events."

"Oh, now is not the time to be serious. I said that to find an excuse for the two of us. Even though my parents didn't believe me, I didn't believe it either. After all, who would believe such an outrageous thing? Besides, there are rumors on the Internet that you don't like girls... uh, cough, cough, let's skip this topic."

Lin Sisi was so excited that she spoke without restraint and almost revealed that Mu Jingxian didn't like women.

Fortunately, she braked quickly and waved her hand to change the subject.

Mu Jingxian frowned at her and asked, "What don't you like?"

Lin Sisi blinked and looked around, pretending not to hear what he said, and said, "Uncle Mu, my temperature has been taken and it turns out that I'm fine. Can I go eat now? Oh, by the way, where are we going to eat?"

Then he thought of something, wrinkled his face and asked, "Speaking of which, what should we do when those photos and videos are uploaded online? It's impossible for our parents not to go online. If they see this, then I will..."

Seeing her chattering so much, Mu Jingxian reached out and patted her shoulder, saying calmly, "Don't worry, Qiu Jin will take care of this matter."

Lin Sisi still had a frown on her face, doubting in her heart whether Qiu Jin was capable of doing things.

Mu Jingxian probably guessed the girl's thoughts, so he said, "Don't worry, the videos and photos in those people's hands probably won't last a day."

Seeing that he was so sure, Lin Sisi was a little puzzled.

"Why are you so sure?"

"you do not believe me?"

"...Uh, well, I'm just worried."

"Don't worry, with me here, what you're worried about will never happen."

As soon as Mu Jingxian said this, Lin Sisi was stunned.

She just looked at Mu Jingxian like this, then felt her cheeks getting hot and her face drooped suddenly.

My mind was in a mess, wondering what Mu Jingxian was saying. Why did it sound so... ambiguous?

Mu Jingxian himself was stunned.

He had never expected that he would say that. His mouth really spoke faster than his brain, and he felt something was wrong the moment he said it.

His heart was beating wildly, just like the feeling he had at the beginning in the car when he couldn't control himself and kept getting closer to the girl.

What exactly is going on?

The two of them stood there awkwardly until a gust of cold wind blew across Lin Sisi's nose. She felt sour and couldn't help but sneeze twice.

Mu Jingxian came back to his senses, looked at the top of her head, and asked, "How about I take you to the hospital?"

Lin Sisi's mouth twitched: "No, I'm really fine, and I don't want to go to the hospital. Compared to going to the hospital, I would rather find a warm place to stay and have a hot meal."

Although he said this on the surface, his heart was roaring.

What's wrong with Mu Jingxian? Does he really want to take her to the hospital? !

I've told her a thousand times that she's fine, why doesn't she listen?

Lin Sisi puffed up his cheeks again, looking like a little hamster that had eaten a lot of food.

Mu Jingxian couldn't help but chuckle and hummed lightly.

"So where do you want to eat?"

“KFC?”

"Change to another one."

"Kendede?"

“…Is there such a family?”

"Kenjike?"

"..."

"..."

"Uh, I mean...uh..."

"..."

Lin Sisi felt so embarrassed that her face turned red.

She covered her face, wondering what wicked words she had said.

However, Mu Jingxian also turned his head with a red face.

It turns out that both of them had the wrong idea.

Even though they were walking on this commercial street, surrounded by prosperity and noise, the atmosphere between the two of them was exceptionally quiet and eerie.

Fortunately, halfway through the journey, Mu Jingxian's phone rang.

He seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He didn't even look at who was calling and just pressed the answer button.

Qiu Jin's complaining voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh my President Mu, I can't handle the company's affairs, and you still want me to deal with online public opinion. Do you know how many calls I made just now? My phone bills are almost gone. And there are so many videos and photos online that I can't finish processing them. Some of them even ask for hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's really exorbitant. They are really crazy about money. My salary is not even that much!"

Mu Jingxian rarely listened to Qiu Jin's ramblings. He glanced at Lin Sisi in the shops around him and said in a very calm voice, "I see. The money will be deducted from the company's bank card. You don't have to spend a penny. As for the salary increase, I will talk to you in detail after I finish my busy schedule. I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now."

"Wait wait wait, Mr. Mu, don't hang up yet. I know that the money was deducted from the company, but that group of people asked for too much. Hundreds of thousands are really too much to bear."

"It's okay, give it to them."

To appease the little girl's worries, this little money meant nothing to him.

"……All right."

Just like that, under Mu Jingxian's heroic speech, Qiu Jin hung up the phone reluctantly.

After hanging up the phone, he murmured with some dissatisfaction. His boss Mu was making big promises for him again. It had been so long since he got his salary increased, but there was still no result. It turned out that all capitalists had such a face.

Although he complained, Qiu Jin immediately called other people after hanging up the phone and started negotiating and lowering the price without stopping for a moment.
