Chapter 413

"Brother Mu Ting, Sister Shu Xia." Song Ziqi immediately called out to the two of them.

Qiao Muting nodded.

Shu Xia smiled: "Miss Song, you look like you're recovering well."

"It's all thanks to the nursing aide; she's taken very good care of me. How do you have time to visit me today? Didn't you go out to have fun?" Song Ziqi scrutinized the two of them unobtrusively, then asked with a beaming smile, appearing as if it were a casual question.

"He had a meeting to attend today, so I went to the hotel's aquarium for a few hours," Shu Xia replied truthfully.

Song Ziqi was surprised: "Sister Shu Xia went by herself?"

Shu Xia smiled, "Mm."

Song Ziqi suddenly felt the haze that had been clouding her heart dissipate, "Brother Mu Ting is indeed too busy usually; Sister Shu Xia, don't be angry with Brother Mu Ting."

Angry?

Shu Xia thought to herself, smiling as she replied, how did Song Ziqi figure out she was angry?

"Brother Mu Ting used to be very busy too. Sometimes when we were eating together, he would have to rush to the airport mid-meal, saying he had to go on a business trip," Song Ziqi continued.

Shu Xia smiled politely, "Work is indeed important."

Song Ziqi continued with a beaming smile: "Sister Shu Xia might not know, but no matter where Brother Mu Ting appears, he makes people subconsciously afraid. Once, several of my high school classmates saw Brother Mu Ting, and just from being looked at by him, one was so scared he had nightmares that night. The next day he complained to me, saying that the look Brother Mu Ting gave him was as if to say that if he dared to get half a step closer to me, Brother Mu Ting could strangle him. I still remember the pale complexion of that male classmate when he said those words."

Is he that jealous?

Shu Xia raised her eyes to look at Qiao Muting. Was he very unhappy seeing that male classmate with Song Ziqi?

Now she was a bit confused; what exactly were his thoughts regarding Song Ziqi?

"Your classmate overthought it; I look at everyone that way." Qiao Muting's tone was naturally cold and detached, but his timely interjection made Song Ziqi's smile stiffen for a moment.

Song Ziqi quickly resumed her smile, "Yes, but my classmate didn't know that. Fortunately, I clarified it with him the next day, and only then did he go to school with peace of mind; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to go to school at all."

"Then, Sister Shu Xia, what were your thoughts the first time you saw Brother Mu Ting?" Song Ziqi asked.

Shu Xia recalled the scene of the first time she saw Qiao Muting. At that time, her heart was full of that trash Fu Chenyan; her first impression of Qiao Muting was probably only...

"He was even more handsome than a movie star, very eye-catching."

Qiao Muting's thin lips curled up as he looked down at Shu Xia, "So you wanted to marry me at first sight?"

That was definitely not it!

If she hadn't been reborn, she and he would have been two parallel lines that never intersected.

However, with others present, she smiled brightly, "I did have such a bold and reckless thought at that time."

Song Ziqi secretly tightened her grip on her hands, staring at Qiao Muting as she asked: "Then did Brother Mu Ting also want to marry Sister Shu Xia at first sight?"

Impossible, Shu Xia gave the answer in her heart.

He married her under the pressure of Qiao Nainai's request.

There was no such thing as love at first sight between them.

"Mm," Qiao Muting answered simply.

But simple was clear enough.

Song Ziqi's mood instantly wilted, her smile becoming somewhat forced. She lowered her head to look at her phone, masking the true expression of her emotions, "So Brother Mu Ting and Sister Shu Xia fell in love at first sight."

She had thought Brother Mu Ting was only forced by Qiao Nainai's request and had no choice but to marry Shu Xia.

Being good to Shu Xia was also out of respect for Qiao Nainai.

But she clearly saw that... undercurrent surging in the eyes of the two as they looked at each other, their gazes clearly lingering.

Only couples who have each other in their hearts have light in their eyes when they look at one another.

The more Song Ziqi thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, "Have Brother Mu Ting and Sister Shu Xia had lunch? Shall I have the nursing aide go to the hospital cafeteria to bring some lunch back?"
