123: Chapter 123: Have we met before?

Nangong Xiaoxue, after receiving the address, happily forwarded it to Mu Yunlie.

Then, she walked into the dining room and said to Mu Yunlie, “Ah Lie, I just sent you an address.

You need to hurry and meet that girl.”

Mu Yunlie had just picked up his knife and fork, ready to eat his steak.

He needed to visit Kefei Star in person tomorrow morning, so he had thought to drop by tonight to see his grandparents.

And he had just sat down…

He looked up at Nangong Jie.

His grandfather had always hoped he would end up with Ning Nuan.

Although he didn’t like Ning Nuan, at this moment, he was even less keen on going on a blind date.

Nangong Jie pretended not to see Mu Yunlie’s plea for help, lifted his coffee, and took a sip.

“This new coffee tastes quite good.”

Nangong Xiaoxue came over, urging, “Go on, stop eating.

You only have half an hour.

As a gentleman, you can’t arrive later than the lady, right?”

“Grandma, I haven’t eaten dinner yet.”

“Just take a bottle of Nutrient Liquid and drink it on the way.”

After she finished speaking, Nangong Xiaoxue instructed a servant to fetch the Nutrient Liquid.

A bottle of Nutrient Liquid was squeezed into Mu Yunlie’s arms, and then he was firmly pushed out the door and into the car.

Nangong Xiaoxue, standing by the car window, instructed him, “With your qualities, that girl will definitely be mesmerized when she sees you.

Bring her home tonight!

Don’t look so unwilling.

If you can win her over, believe me, you’ve struck gold.

Good luck!”

Mu Yunlie, with a speechless face, started the car.

Well, he would go and see, just who was this person that his grandmother liked so much.

The scams are getting more sophisticated these days, and the elderly, like Grandma, are the easiest to fool.

Glancing at the address Nangong Xiaoxue had sent, Mu Yunlie raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Coincidentally, the café was located near the apartment where Yan Qianyi rented.

Thinking of Yan Qianyi, his face grew colder.

He didn’t know why, but lately, he had been thinking of her off and on, and his mood had been fluctuating, which irked him.

Suddenly, he didn’t even feel like drinking the Nutrient Liquid.

He casually tossed the unopened Nutrient Liquid onto the passenger seat and drove out of the gate of Nangong Manor.

His dark, deep eyes stared straight ahead, not the look of someone on a blind date, but one of a warrior heading into battle.

Yan Qianyi was already sitting inside the café.

In the same private room where she had met Mu Yunlie before.

She liked the view from this room’s window.

Staring out the window, she was pondering how to kindly refuse the other party when suddenly the door to the private room opened.

Yan Qianyi turned around and her eyes widened in shock.

Mu Yunlie!

It was Mu Yunlie?

How could it be Mu Yunlie?

She quickly lowered the brim of her hat and turned her head away.

Mu Yunlie eyed her, his expression becoming cautious as he narrowed his eyes.

Wearing a mask and hat for a blind date?

This odd, suspicious demeanor immediately put him on guard.

What kind of people had Grandma met after running away from home?

Mu Yunlie furrowed his brows and sat down opposite Yan Qianyi.

He tried to maintain basic gentlemanly demeanor.

“Hello, my name is Mu Yunlie.

My grandmother sent me here.”

His voice was as always—light and indifferent—Yan Qianyi couldn’t detect any emotion.

She nodded her head nervously.

Had she known Grandma Nangong’s grandson was Mu Yunlie, she wouldn’t have come no matter what.

She didn’t want to reveal her identity as the Masked Divine Doctor.

But now, she finally understood why Grandma Nangong was so confident in her own grandson.

Indeed, Mu Yunlie possessed a face that could make a girl fall head over heels with just one glance.

But now, she was the exception.

She definitely wouldn’t be seduced by his appearance anymore.

“Why are you still wearing a mask?” Mu Yunlie asked, his eagle-like eyes scanning over her.

Yan Qianyi coughed a few times and pinched her neck, trying to speak in a different voice than usual, “I made an agreement with your grandmother, once I’ve taken a liking to you, then I’ll remove the mask.”

“Then look up at me,” he commanded.

Yan Qianyi didn’t dare to look up.

She wasn’t sure if Mu Yunlie would recognize her by her eyes.

To be safe, it was better to avoid eye contact as much as possible.

“No need,” she said, “I saw what you looked like when you came in just now.”

Mu Yunlie’s eyes narrowed slightly, “So…

you don’t like me?”

“That’s right, I don’t.”

She still remembered the arrogant look on his face when he said ‘I could never fall in love with you.’

Honestly, she felt a bit frustrated at that moment.

As if she were a flood beast that he desperately wanted to avoid.

To think you look down on me, and yet you come to a blind date.

And then you didn’t expect to be rejected by the person you’re meeting?

That’ll show you!

After uttering these words, a smile curved behind Yan Qianyi’s mask.

For someone as proud as him, who had girls screaming for him wherever he went, being rejected for the first time must be a blow to his ego, right?

Satisfying!

Mu Yunlie’s lips curled slightly, “That suits me fine.”

Hearing this, Yan Qianyi was surprised and lifted her head slightly, glancing at him with the corner of her eye.

Not angry?

Even if he was also forced to this blind date, shouldn’t he feel a bit upset and indignant at such a blunt rejection?

After all, he was such a proud and arrogant person.

Mu Yunlie stood up, his voice chilly, “I don’t care what your purpose is, from now on, you are not to approach my grandmother again.”

This person was so odd, even the sound of his voice seemed peculiar.

And Grandma still says he’s a treasure to be found?

What nonsense.

Yan Qianyi was displeased upon hearing this, “What do you mean?

Do you think I have ulterior motives?

You really have a persecution complex!”

It seems they should not have met today.

Even meeting under a different identity she ended up infuriated by him.

Mu Yunlie stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at her, “Say that again.”

Her voice just now, it sounded so familiar!

“What?

You want to hit a woman…”

She was cut off mid-sentence, suddenly realizing that in her haste, she hadn’t disguised her voice well.

“Cough!

I…

I’m not a tape recorder, if you ask me to repeat myself, should I just do it?

I didn’t want to meet you in the first place, I came out of respect for your grandmother.

You tell me to stay away from her, as if you’re so filial, but if you’re really that devoted, then why is your grandmother staying in a care home?”

Mu Yunlie was slightly stunned, “My grandmother went to a care home?”

“Yeah.” Yan Qianyi rolled her eyes, “You don’t even know your own grandmother is in a care home.”

She suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Grandma Nangong.

The Nangong family must have been glorious in the past, to have been acquainted with Mu Kang.

Thus Grandma Nangong looked like a wealthy old lady.

Unfortunately, fallen from grace and with a grandson who refused to bow to money, she ended up in a care home.

If only Mu Yunlie would listen to her advice and enter the entertainment industry, he would make a comeback in no time.

Suddenly, Mu Yunlie walked back toward her, asking, “Have we met before?”
