Chapter 345

Huo Jingyan frowned slightly, his voice cold, "She is not worth me thinking about."

Not worth it?

Gu Jianzhang felt Huo Jingyan was being stubborn; he had heard that Huo Jingyan and Ye Yaoguang had been spending all their time together lately.

Even taking her along on business trips.

And Huo Jingyan hardly ever returned home.

Under these circumstances, he felt Huo Jingyan might be on the verge of divorcing for Ye Yaoguang, a pity for that childhood sweetheart.

Qiao Muting glanced at Huo Jingyan, said nothing, and took out his phone to check WeChat.

He sent a message to Shu Xia asking where she was.

The message was sent, but even until he sat down, Shu Xia had not replied.

This Western restaurant owned by the Huo Family was a full five stories high, spacious and crowded.

"You're married?"

Huo Jingyan was taken aback.

Quietly and without a sound, Qiao Muting got married? If he hadn't come over to gather today, he would only have known Qiao Muting was married when his child was born!

Qiao Muting was never one for many words; he gave a cold, indifferent "Mm."

"His wife works for my father, and my father says his wife is far superior to how he was when he was young." When Gu Jianzhang mentioned Shu Xia, his tone was full of admiration.

One could imagine how impressive Shu Xia was to be able to make him speak in praise and give such a high evaluation.

It could be said that Qiao Muting had stumbled upon a treasure by accident.

And it looked like Qiao Muting quite liked Shu Xia; although it was a marriage facilitated by Qiao Nainai, Qiao Muting was likely enjoying it now, right?

"She is indeed very good." Qiao Muting's thin lips curled slightly, echoing Gu Jianzhang's words to praise Shu Xia.

It was rare for Huo Jingyan to hear Qiao Muting praise a woman; it was definitely the first time in the twenty-plus years they had known each other.

"Have you lost your heart?" Huo Jingyan asked.

In the past, whenever Qiao Muting heard them talk about romance, he always had a cold, detached air, as if falling for a woman was something that would never happen in this lifetime.

But now, he had personally admitted a woman was very good?

A rare sight indeed.

Gu Jianzhang took a sip of red wine and watched Qiao Muting with composure, remembering that not long ago at Qiao Group, he had heard Qiao Muting say with his own ears that he did not like Shu Xia.

And now...

The smile on Qiao Muting's lips cooled a fraction, "There is no emotion involved between us."

Huo Jingyan raised an eyebrow.

Between a man and a woman, some things indeed do not need to involve emotion.

"Sometimes emotions aren't that easy to control. I notice you look quite good today; has your insomnia improved a lot lately?" Gu Jianzhang had a sharp eye and spotted some clues.

Huo Jingyan said, "It is indeed different from when we last met at the golf course."

The cold, gloomy aura about him had diminished significantly.

"It is indeed much better." Qiao Muting had rarely thought about insomnia lately; ever since he met Shu Xia, he had barely suffered from it.

Gu Jianzhang laughed teasingly, "I told you before to find a woman. Having a woman by your side to make you happy, what insomnia? It wouldn't be a problem at all."

A man, without a woman by his side to find joy, it's quite dull.

Qiao Muting curled his lips coldly, "You're overthinking it."

He had no interest in other women, let alone anything that could make him happy.

While the three were chatting, Shu Xia and Jiang Nannan walked over from the other side; they were going to the restroom before heading to the barbecue restaurant.

Just as she reached the restroom, Shu Xia suddenly heard someone calling her with a hint of surprise.

"Ms. Shu?"

Shu Xia looked over.

She was somewhat surprised when she saw Gu Jianzhang.

Just as she was about to respond, she saw Qiao Muting sitting to the side, as well as Huo Jingyan, who was looking over at the same time.
