Chapter 1480: As Expected

Chapter 1480: Chapter 1480: As Expected

Just as Mu Yi left Jian Dan’s office, he started regretting it—regretting that he had been too harsh in tone with Jian Dan just now. But then he thought, well, now Jian Dan probably won’t try introducing him to other girls anytime soon, so he left without offering any explanation...

Maybe it was because Mu Yi couldn’t stop thinking about Jian Dan that he failed to notice Qin Rou, Xia Mengjiao, and Yuanyuan hiding outside the office.

"Did he not see us or what?" Yuanyuan pointed at Mu Yi’s figure and spoke up.

"Come on, the three of us are standing here so obviously, how could he possibly miss us?" Xia Mengjiao was equally curious.

Qin Rou looked at Mu Yi’s retreating figure without saying a word.

Soon, the three of them pushed open the door and entered Jian Dan’s office.

"So? So what happened?!" Blame it on the office’s excellent soundproofing—they hadn’t managed to hear anything from outside.𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Just look at her expression, it’s clear as day she hit a wall!" Qin Rou crossed her arms and remarked.

As soon as Qin Rou spoke, Jian Dan crumpled onto her desk like a defeated rooster. "Oh, my lifelong reputation—it’s completely ruined today, ah~ wuuu wuuu wuuu..."

"No way! Didn’t work out? I’ve met Xiao Ran before, okay? She’s a total stunner! If Mu Yi wasn’t interested in her, isn’t his bar set way too high?" Yuanyuan mused, totally baffled.

"Is she really that pretty? I mean, I only heard a bit about the situation from Jian Dan earlier, so I don’t really know much!" Xia Mengjiao craned her neck in curiosity.

"Could you not stir the pot right now? Jian, spill it—what exactly is the deal? Where did Mu Yi find fault with Xiao Ran?" Yuanyuan kept pressing.

"Mu Yi said he already has someone he likes!"

"He already has someone he likes? We’ve worked together for so long, and none of us knew?"

"Exactly! If I’d known, today’s whole fiasco wouldn’t have happened. Now, I’ve managed to blemish my ’professional’ reputation with this mess."

"Rourou, why aren’t you saying a word?"

"I already had a hunch it would turn out like this."

"What?! You knew Mu Yi had someone he liked all along? Then why didn’t you tell me?" Jian Dan abruptly bolted upright from her desk.

"I didn’t actually know—it was just a feeling!"

"If you had that feeling, you should’ve at least given me a heads-up!

Now look, things are so awkward, and Mu Yi’s face earlier... ugh, do you think he’s angry at me?"

"No, he’s not!" Qin Rou stated flatly.

"How do you know?"

"Don’t believe me? Just wait and see!"

"Ah, I don’t even know how to explain things to Xiao Ran now!"

"What’s there to explain? Just tell her the truth—there’s nothing going on between her and Mu Yi anyway."

"You’re right!

Alright, I’m starving. I need to go grab a bite to eat. Do you guys want to come along?"

"What? Didn’t we just eat? Again?"

"Back at that woman’s restaurant, I was one person facing off against a roomful of people—where would I have had time to eat?"

"Facing off, huh? Come on, it was just Fu Chao and that woman. Hardly a crowd!"

"What are you talking about? That woman’s skills are formidable—she could take on ten people by herself!"

"Jian, I’ll go with you! After all, you spent your whole lunch break today dealing with my mess." Yuanyuan grabbed onto Jian Dan’s arm.

"Yuanyuan, you’re the best!" Jian Dan blew an air kiss toward her.

"I’d say you’re hungry too," Qin Rou mercilessly pointed out.

"It’s totally fair for me to be hungry! I’m eating for two now!" Yuanyuan rubbed her stomach as she spoke.

"Me too, me too!" Xia Mengjiao chimed in, raising her hand.

Once Xia Mengjiao agreed, the three of them simultaneously directed their gazes toward Qin Rou...

"What can I say at this point? Let’s go!"

And just like that, the four of them left the company once more to go eat.
