CHAPTER 167: CHAPTER 167: IT SEEMS I CAME AT THE WRONG TIME

"Knock, knock, knock."

The sudden knocking sound by the ear brought the two, lost in passionate entanglement on the bed, back to consciousness.

Realizing the absurd situation she and Xu Yisen were in, Qin Muni abruptly pushed Xu Yisen, who was pressing on her, off her, quickly got up from the bed, and hurriedly opened the door to leave.

Standing outside the room, Bai Wan Yun saw Qin Muni’s flushed cheeks and watched her hastily walk out of Xu Yisen’s room as if escaping, quickly enter the guest room next door, and then shut the door with a bang, feeling somewhat perplexed.

As she entered, Xu Yisen had already risen from the bed, a pleased smile lingering on his lips.

Bai Wan Yun roughly understood why Qin Muni reacted that way and guessed what the two of them were doing before she arrived.

She teased, "Seems like I came at the wrong time."

"Yes, indeed, not the best time."

Bai Wan Yun couldn’t help but laugh, "With the New Year approaching, why not come back and stay for a few days too."

"I was planning to do just that."

Bai Wan Yun wanted him to come back to stay, hoping he could spend more time with Qin Muni.

She had thought he would decline, but unexpectedly he shared the same idea.

Bai Wan Yun beamed, "Tsk tsk, seems like you plan to win Muni back, so I won’t worry anymore."

"Yes, no need to worry."

Seeing he wasn’t as dismissive as he used to be, Bai Wan Yun nodded in satisfaction, "Then I’m off to play golf with Mrs. Huang. Make sure to take good care of Muni."

"Okay, go ahead, have fun."

After Bai Wan Yun left the room, Xu Yisen fell back onto the bed, replaying the scene of kissing Qin Muni in his mind.

The warmth in his palm seemed to still retain the smooth and tender touch from moments ago.

It wasn’t until that very moment that he realized he wanted Qin Muni more than he had imagined.

...

Qin Muni had been staying at the Xu Family’s home for four days, during which she repeatedly expressed her desire to leave but was continuously refused with various excuses by the Xu Family.

One time, she even packed her suitcase and was about to say goodbye when Grandma Xu sent her back to her room without any real explanation.

Xu Yisen, who originally lived at Fanluo Residence, had recently been driving nearly an hour back home every day after work, with the excuse that the New Year was approaching and he wanted to spend more time with family.

But the real reason... was understood by every member of the Xu Family.

As the year-end approached, many people came to the Xu Family’s home to give gifts and pay their respects.

As in past years, Bai Wan Yun and Grandma Xu asked Qin Muni to help entertain the guests.

The story of Qin Muni’s divorce from Xu Yisen was already widely known.

Thus, visiting guests felt surprised when they saw Qin Muni still being treated as the lady of the house by the Xu Family and the maids.

"Young Madam, we have guests downstairs. Madam would like you to come down to help entertain them," Uncle Zhang said respectfully from outside the door, causing Qin Muni to sigh inwardly.

She knew the Xu Family’s intention, and yet she couldn’t refuse them, nor could she move out.

"Got it, I’ll be down right away."

"Very well."

Qin Muni closed the door, freshened up in the bathroom, and then went downstairs.

As she walked gracefully down the stairs and into the living room, she saw a familiar figure seated on a single sofa.

"Miss Xia, please wait a moment. Madam will be right with you."
