Chapter 318

In such a rush to take her back?

Qiao Nainai thought of why they were in such a rush, and her ears turned red as well.

She had later learned the gist of what happened that day; someone had drugged Mu Ting, and she hadn't expected Shu Xia to be there too, so both of them were drugged, and then they just naturally ended up together.

The servant who went to Xinghai Villa to clean came back and said that the two of them were now living in the same room.

Qiao Nainai had been young once too.

She immediately waved her hand to shoo them away, "Go on, go on, I'm tired and need to rest, you two go back and enjoy your world for two."

As for an old woman like her, she shouldn't be a third wheel to the two of them.

Shu Xia was a bit stunned; did Qiao Muting have something to tell her?

Otherwise, why the rush to go back?

Under Qiao Nainai's urging, the two of them left Laozhai.

Sitting in the car, Shu Xia asked, "In such a rush to go back, is there something up?"

They hadn't even eaten dinner yet.

Originally, they were supposed to stay at Laozhai to eat with Qiao Nainai tonight.

Qiao Muting's eyes dimmed slightly; he actually didn't know how to answer, as after he entered Laozhai and saw her, he had just wanted to take her home right then.

After he had spoken those words at the time, he himself had been a bit dazed.

"It's nothing, I'm taking you to eat hot pot. The group owns a hot pot chain with seven or eight kinds of soup bases to choose from at will; see if there's anything you want to eat," Qiao Muting said after a moment of silence.

"That's great, I have indeed been craving hot pot for the past two days!" Shu Xia's eyes were immediately filled with anticipation.

Seven or eight kinds of soup bases—just thinking about it made her so happy!

Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the restaurant.

Although it was just a hot pot restaurant, it was decorated very luxuriously.

It was worthy of being a product of Qiao Group.

Just after entering, the fragrance was overflowing.

They entered a private room on the eighth floor.

Shu Xia ordered two soup bases according to her preferences; she could order up to four.

Then, there were all sorts of ingredients here that many hot pot restaurants didn't have, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at them; she really loved eating hot pot too much!

"I've finished ordering, you take a look at what you like to eat."

She was so expectant right now!

Qiao Muting said "okay," then looked at the menu very seriously.

"I'm going to the restroom for a moment."

Shu Xia got up and went to the restroom.

Qiao Muting glanced at Shu Xia, then lowered his head to continue looking at the menu, ordering one mildly spicy soup base and one mushroom soup base; he could eat both of these.

After ordering the food, he waited for Shu Xia to return and for the food to be served, feeling a bit bored.

A few minutes later, after Shu Xia came out of the restroom, she walked toward the private room.

Just at this moment, Shu Chen and a friend walked out of another private room to go to the restroom.

Just as he was about to enter the restroom, he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Shu Chen?"

The buddy beside him asked.

Shu Chen blinked, "I must have seen wrong; it couldn't be Xia Xia."

The girl who had just walked into a private room had a back that looked really like Xia Xia's.

Just now, he had almost called out to her.

But then he thought, Xia Xia shouldn't come here; the consumption here was too high, and eating one meal of hot pot here would cost more than ten meals elsewhere.

"Who is Xia Xia?" the buddy asked, confused.

Shu Chen chuckled, "She's my younger sister; I thought that person just now was my sister."

He took out his phone and sent a message to Shu Xia.
