Chapter 561: Oh, We Are Not That Close
Tong Hua went out joyfully. If not for the fact that Ye Ling was still lying in bed and that all Shen Qianshu wanted to do was to stay with him, she had also wanted to join Tong Hua in touring around the Golden City. After all, they had been there for almost a week, and so much had happened. They had not actually had time to tour around in peace.
Ye Ling was sleeping soundly. A while after Tong Hua left, Mu Yuan came. He came looking fatigued as if he had been out for long. He did not bring any men with him, and he was in comfy wear. It was as if he was here on holiday.
“Has Ah Ling woken up yet?” Mu Yuan asked.
“He woke up, and then he fell asleep again. Mu Yuan, why are you here?” Shen Qianshu responded.
It must have not been easy for a military man like him to leave his team to make his way all the way here.
Mu Yuan bit his lip. He was ordered by someone with more authority to come over to handle some matters, so he passed by to visit Ye Ling. He was really relieved to know that he had woken up. Jack had told him everything that happened to Ye Ling at the auction center. He had questions, but he did not press on the matter. Mu Yuan did not know what happened exactly, and he did not intend to ask about it. If Ye Ling wanted to talk, he would.
This did not seem to be something good.
This sounded like it was Jack’s fault!
If he had not failed at planning, things would not have come to such a state.
People who were overconfident really pissed others off sometimes. They really deserved to be slapped at times. They always thought that they were the smartest and that they were the best in the world. It would be impressive if they really were smart, but clearly, things did not work out well.
Ah Ling lay in bed with no energy to move. He had beat up the mafias and terrorists so easily. He was really impressive!
“Mu Yuan, why are you angry?”
“Nothing!”
“It’s all thanks to Jack. If you had not gotten him here, I don’t even know what might have happened!”
“What has this got to do with him? It was an easy win for him. Ah Ling was the one who dealt with everything with violence. He just sat there and gained credit.” Mu Yuan felt a heartache as he said that. He had agreed to an unjust contract.
This dude had actually succeeded because he tagged onto other people.
He was very angry!!!
He was so mad he could forget who his mother was.
“If it were not for him, why would I have the courage to go to the auction? He had been protecting us the whole time,” Shen Qianshu said truthfully. “You seem to be on good terms with him?”
“So-so!” Mu Yuan looked away lightly and looked a little guilty. “Oh, we aren’t that close.”
“Not very close?”
“Yeah, not close.”
Shen Qianshu felt odd. When Jack and Mu Yuan were on the phone, the facial expression of the usually expressionless man always seemed to be all smiles. He never even noticed that he was smiling. Were they really not close?
“Do you know what I felt when I first met Jack?” Shen Qianshu asked
Mu Yuan felt attacked. “Feeling? What feeling?”
Shen Qianshu was speechless.
Hold up, did you misunderstand something?
Bro, do you know that sounded… very suspicious and odd?
“A man with no feelings,” Shen Qianshu said.
“Nonsense. Ling is more of a man with no feelings.”
“Master is really full of life. He’s not like Jack. Jack looks like someone who despises humans. It’s scary.”
“Ling is the one who despises humans. I’ve known him for so many years, and I’ve never seen another emotion from him other than calmness and rage.”
“Nonsense. Master is a cutie.”
“Are you kidding me?”
Shen Qianshu had wanted to tell Mu Yuan that Jack looked soft and was smiling when he was on the phone with Mu Yuan. However, suddenly, she felt that it was none of her business.
She thought to herself, Little angel is unhappy. I don’t wanna talk anymore!
