Chapter 108

But the most eye-catching ones were the very well-matched Qiao Muting and Shen Anran.

With the two of them standing together, it seemed as if no one else mattered.

All gazes would be focused on the two of them.

Two people standing on the clouds, evenly matched in strength.

"Did you see? The two of them came to attend the Gu Family's youngest son's engagement banquet together again. I wouldn't believe it if someone said there was nothing going on between them. But it's such a pity; I asked my husband, and he actually said it's best to ask less about Qiao Muting's affairs."

"However, I feel that our Xia Xia is still the most beautiful. Although Shen Anran is also very good-looking, she isn't as alluring as our Xia Xia. Xia Xia, in my heart, you are a little enchantress who knows how to allure people."

Looking at the increasingly outrageous messages from Jiang Nannan, Shu Xia took another look at the photo.

Thinking that she had unintentionally become a nominal mistress in order to repay Qiao Nainai, she felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

No wonder Qiao Muting's attitude toward her was always filled with a cold, scrutinizing aloofness; it turned out it was because he originally had someone he liked.

When she was about to go to sleep at night, she suddenly received a call from Gu Lao's team.

They said they were very sorry for disturbing her so late, and that they hadn't looked at her resume carefully when reviewing it last time, which led to them missing her interview; if she had time tomorrow, they asked her to come for an interview.

Although Shu Xia's mood had been heavy ever since she learned today that Qiao Muting had someone he liked, her mood suddenly brightened after receiving the call from Gu Lao's team.

Thinking that she had also promised the auction house for tomorrow, she decided to go to Gu Lao's place for the interview first, and then go to the auction house in the afternoon.

After all, Gu Lao's team had high requirements, and there was a high probability they wouldn't hire her.

Thinking that everything was looking up for the future, Shu Xia shared the good news with Jiang Ye and Shu Xuan. They both told her to keep it up, saying the result wasn't important; what was important was that in their hearts, their Xia Xia was the best!

They told her to forge ahead bravely, and that they were all her strong backing.

Shu Xia entered dreamland with a smile on her lips.

When she woke up the next day and went downstairs to make breakfast, she discovered that Qiao Muting hadn't returned last night.

She was not surprised.

Yesterday, Jiang Nannan had told her that Shen Anran had just returned from abroad less than a month ago; two lovers who hadn't seen each other for a long time would naturally spend some quality time together.

When she finished breakfast and went out, she looked back at Xinghai Villa.

She needed to find a reason to move out, then tell Qiao Nainai that she was busy with work, and after that, she could logically end this flash marriage agreement with Qiao Muting, which now seemed very absurd.

When Qiao Muting woke up in the morning, his head was throbbing with dull pain.

He had drunk quite a bit of alcohol last night and stayed directly on the Gu Family's yacht.

Almost everyone who came to attend the engagement banquet yesterday stayed on the yacht.

He rubbed his head.

Suddenly remembering something, he called Zhang Tezhu.

Zhang Tezhu had also stayed on the yacht last night.

He had woken up very early.

After answering Qiao Muting's call, he immediately asked, "Qiao, should we leave the yacht now?"

Qiao Muting frowned, "Did you tell Shu Xia that I'm back?"

"No." Zhang Tezhu was stunned.

He didn't remember Qiao telling him to report his itinerary to Miss Shu?

Qiao Muting darkened his eyes, "Then tell her."

"Ah, alright Qiao."

"Wait, no need to tell her," Qiao Muting said again.

Zhang Tezhu was a bit confused; did Qiao want Miss Shu to know his whereabouts, or did he not want Miss Shu to know his whereabouts?

Qiao Muting looked at his phone; he had been away on a business trip for over a week, and Shu Xia hadn't sent a single WeChat message or made a single phone call.

He darkened his eyes.
