CHAPTER 159: CHAPTER 159: HAVE YOU EVER SLEPT IN THE SAME BED WITH AN ORDINARY FRIEND?

The drowsiness hit her, and she stopped thinking, falling into a deep sleep.

...

When Qin Muni woke up in the morning, it was already ten o’clock. After a night’s sleep, her body had obviously improved. Her head no longer hurt, her throat was still a bit uncomfortable, but not as painful as yesterday.

She got up, washed up, and changed clothes. When she stepped out of the room, she saw Xu Yisen coming from the room next door.

When their eyes met, he slightly arched his brows, and a warm smile spread across his finely sculpted face.

"Good morning, Munni. How did you sleep last night?"

"Not bad."

"Feeling better?"

"Yeah."

As they spoke, Xu Yisen was already stepping closer to her, and then he stopped in front of her.

"Let’s go have breakfast together later, stroll around town and then head back."

"Okay, what about Secretary Tang?"

Xu Yisen answered truthfully, "Secretary Wang came to pick him up this morning. He already went back."

Qin Muni nodded, didn’t ask any further questions, and walked towards the elevator first.

Xu Yisen followed her two seconds later, seeing her light steps and good spirits. He was reassured that she was fine.

While waiting for the elevator, Qin Muni took out her phone from her bag and turned it on.

The phone had been off for two days. Upon booting up, the screen showed five missed calls from Xu Yisen, two from Yuan Chenghe, and two unread messages from Xu Yisen.

[Munni, where are you? I’m looking for you.]

[You left without a word, not even a nod to your ex-husband. Does this count as running away from home?]

Qin Muni amusingly glanced at Xu Yisen beside her, "With our relationship, do I need to report to you where I go?"

"Of course. With our relationship, it’s naturally different."

Xu Yisen deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of our relationship, with a faint mischievous smile in his eyes as he looked at Qin Muni.

The elevator dinged, and the doors slowly opened the next second.

Qin Muni stepped into the empty elevator, scrolling through her moments, and disdainfully said, "I didn’t know our relationship had reached such an unusual level."

"Isn’t the relationship between ex-wife and ex-husband unusual enough?"

"At best, it’s just a step below ordinary relationships."

"How is that possible? Have you shared a bed with an ordinary friend? In the end, it’s still several notches above ordinary friendship."

"...!" Qin Muni found herself at a loss for words, slowly raising her eyes to look at Xu Yisen and rolled her eyes at him with seriousness.

The elevator soon reached the lobby on the first floor, and they walked out one after the other. Xu Yisen’s phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

He glanced at the incoming call display, intending to reject the call. Just then, Qin Muni, standing beside him, spoke: "Take it. I’ll go to the parking lot to get the car."

As she said this, she reached into Xu Yisen’s coat pocket, took out the car keys, and walked off quickly.

Xu Yisen watched her swiftly departing figure, hesitated for two seconds, and answered the call just before it was about to be disconnected.

"What’s up?"

"Yisen, I just wanted to hear your voice."

On the other end of the line, Xia Yuge’s choked voice reached Xu Yisen’s ears. He pressed his fingers against his brow in resignation and said, "Yu Ge, don’t be foolish. I’ve already made everything clear to you."

"But... I still like you! Very much!"

Facing her confession, Xu Yisen’s face showed no hint of joy, and he spoke blandly, "I’m a bit busy, let’s talk later."
