CHAPTER 165: CHAPTER 165: THIS SCHEMING MAN!

"Mmm..."

Yan Xinxin opened her eyes wide in panic, even the rhythm of her heartbeat was completely thrown into chaos by this man.

"Chuxi."

A woman’s voice called out again from behind them, sounding so soft and tender.

Mo Chuxi’s forceful kiss paused slightly, and he released the woman held tightly in his arms with visible displeasure.

Yan Xinxin’s cheeks flushed red. She pursed her lips twice, which glimmered from his kiss, and quickly turned around.

Mu Qianshui stood right in front of them, dressed in an elegant outfit. Her makeup was meticulous, her image flawless—she could easily pass as a goddess in the eyes of men.

Thinking about how Mu Qianshui had seen Mo Chuxi’s kiss earlier, Yan Xinxin’s cheeks immediately turned bright red.

"What are you doing here?"

Mo Chuxi spoke coldly.

His handsome face remained indifferent and composed, as though he was completely unaffected by Mu Qianshui’s presence.

But there was an impatience in his demeanor, as though he resented Mu Qianshui for interrupting his kiss.

Mu Qianshui smiled faintly, with a gracious and elegant expression that complemented her beautiful face.

"I just landed a role in a new drama today, so I came to the company, and I thought I’d stop by to see you."

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Yan Xinxin.

"Lady Yan, hello."

"Uh... Hello, Lady Mu."

Yan Xinxin curled her lips into a polite smile, though she felt slightly uneasy.

Mu Qianshui, holding a cake box in her hand, walked gracefully to the desk.

"Chuxi, I bought your favorite sea salt cake."

Sea salt cake?

So Mo Chuxi likes this dessert?

Yan Xinxin mused silently.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw Mu Qianshui slowly walk toward Mo Chuxi.

"Chuxi, Xiao Yiran must have invited you to attend the cocktail party he’s hosting this Saturday night, hasn’t he?"

"And if he has?"

Mo Chuxi turned around, responding coldly with just four words.

Mu Qianshui lifted her gaze, filled with hopeful anticipation, and stared at him.

"I’ll be going too. How about I attend as your date then..."

"Xinxin will be coming with me."

Mo Chuxi interrupted. The smile on Mu Qianshui’s face froze slightly.

Yan Xinxin was taken aback upon hearing this. She was just about to decline when Mo Chuxi walked over to her, reached out, and took her hand.

She raised her starry eyes, surprised to see a warmth in the man’s gaze that seemed like the spring breeze.

"Darling, didn’t you just say you were worried about which gown to choose? I believe this Lady Mu, the famed actress, can help you."

"..."

Yan Xinxin opened her lips slightly, dumbfounded.

This scheming man!

He did this on purpose!

He had outright eliminated any chance of her refusing to attend the event, and at the same time, dealt Mu Qianshui a severe blow!

Yan Xinxin could strongly feel that Mo Chuxi disliked Mu Qianshui.

But she found it puzzling—if Mo Chuxi was so fond of Mu Qianyuan, wouldn’t it make sense for him to embrace everything associated with her? Yet the reality seemed to be completely the opposite?

"Will you do it?"

Mo Chuxi raised his sharp and aloof gaze toward Mu Qianshui.

"Of course. Lady Yan’s styling and wardrobe will be entirely my responsibility."

Mu Qianshui replied with a smile.

"Lady Yan, are you free today? Would you mind coming with me in a little while?"

"Well then, since the esteemed actress has offered, Xinxin, you’ll go back with her later. I’ll pick you up shortly."

Mo Chuxi answered on Yan Xinxin’s behalf.

Yan Xinxin glared at the man, annoyed, puffing up her cheeks in frustration as he smiled mischievously.

That detestable man!

"Lady Yan?"

"Uh... Yes, I’ll trouble you then."

Yan Xinxin quickly snapped out of her thoughts and smiled politely at Mu Qianshui.

Mo Chuxi raised his hand and gently patted Yan Xinxin’s head, his handsome face showing a rare hint of a wicked smile...

The midday sunlight was warm as Yan Xinxin sat in Mu Qianshui’s sports car, quickly reaching their destination.

But as soon as the car stopped, Yan Xinxin hurriedly opened the door, ran to the flower bed nearby, and began retching uncontrollably.

Mu Qianshui immediately followed, her expression changing dramatically when she saw Yan Xinxin in this state.

"Lady Yan, are you carsick? Or... are you pregnant?"
