Chapter 125: I’ll Wait for You at North Jiangsu Square (5)

“What if I told you that you’ve really misunderstood?”

Qin Nuanyu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately looked at Mu Shuyu with wary eyes.

“What exactly are you trying to do?”

Mu Shuyu shrugged.

“What else could I be up to? I’m the CEO of the Mu Group, practically the city’s most admired woman in Northern Su. In terms of status, I completely overshadow you. In terms of poise, you’re no match for me, and even in beauty, I can still outshine you. Given all this, why on earth would I bother mocking you or scheming against you?”

Qin Nuanyu’s face flushed slightly; strangely, the words did carry a hint of truth.

No, no—no matter how beautiful she was, Mu Shuyu remained her enemy, the other woman who had stolen her child’s father!

A woman of Mu Shuyu’s caliber could instantly read what Qin Nuanyu was thinking.

She pursed her lips, smiled softly, and stepped forward once again.

“I realize you might not believe me, but I have to say this. I can’t bear to cause any misunderstanding between you and him—your little couple—because of me. If that misunderstanding affects your relationship, or worse, causes a breakup, I’d never have peace of mind.”

“Actually, Xiao Fan came to see me today on Tiger Ge’s suggestion. My company has been facing some trouble lately.”

“You probably still remember that Li Dacheng from last time. I stood up for you and fired him, but unexpectedly, he stole my company’s secrets and sold them to our rival, the Zheng Group.”

“Xiao Fan helped me not only because he felt indebted but also because I was the first to buy his paintings and gave him much support. He’s always regarded me as an elder sister.”

“Because he was helping me counter the Zheng Group’s network, he missed your calls.”

“As for why I was wearing a bathrobe, I hadn’t showered for days. Now that the crisis is over, I’m in a good mood and wanted to take a bath first.”

“So, you’re saying all this was just my misunderstanding?”

Qin Nuanyu still looked at Mu Shuyu with suspicion.

She wasn’t naive; there was no way she would believe Mu Shuyu’s words so easily.

Mu Shuyu smiled helplessly and shrugged.

“Alright, if that’s how it is, then I have to confess something else, though it’s embarrassing. Just promise you won’t mock me after hearing it.”

“I admit, this afternoon, I was indeed captivated by Xiao Fan. I even tried to seduce him, jokingly saying I could be his other woman. Guess what? He rejected me! For you, he said no! Of course, you don’t have to doubt or deny it because we have surveillance cameras, and everything I did was recorded. I can show you right now.”

After speaking, Mu Shuyu surprisingly took out her phone, pulled up the surveillance footage, and handed it over to Qin Nuanyu.

Qin Nuanyu snatched it eagerly, first shooting Mu Shuyu a wary glance, then focusing her gaze on the video.

She felt her teeth itch in anger when she saw Mu Shuyu trying to flirt with Yang Xiaofan.

But tears welled up in her eyes with joy when she saw Xiao Fan firmly rejecting Mu Shuyu for her sake.

“I knew it—I just knew he would never betray me.”

Mu Shuyu smiled softly.

“See? Now you know. Was it really a misunderstanding after all?”

A faint flush rose on Qin Nuanyu’s cheeks.

Yet she still refused to soften her tone.

“So what? You still tried to seduce Xiao Fan, didn’t you? So strictly speaking, I’m not entirely wrong.”

Mu Shuyu laughed bitterly.

“Fine, fine, let’s agree that your suspicion was justified. Can you calm down now? If so, hurry and find Xiao Fan. He’s dying to see you.”

“I know. I’ll find him myself.”

With that, Qin Nuanyu pulled out her phone to contact Yang Xiaofan.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly echoed through the wired public broadcast system in the park.

“Nuanyu, no matter where you are right now, no matter what you’re thinking, I have only one thing to say: I love you. I’m waiting for you at Su Bei Square. If you love me and trust me, come find me. I’ll wait until you appear.”

“That’s Xiao Fan’s voice!” Qin Nuanyu exclaimed in surprise.

“How could his voice be playing here?”

Mu Shuyu pondered briefly, took back her phone from Qin Nuanyu, searched for the source, and took a deep breath, a mixture of envy and admiration flashing across her face.

“Honestly, Qin Nuanyu, I really regret not pursuing Yang Xiaofan sooner.”

Qin Nuanyu’s brow furrowed deeply; she couldn’t understand what Mu Shuyu meant.

Mu Shuyu then pushed her phone toward Qin Nuanyu.

When Qin Nuanyu saw images of herself circulating all over the social media feed, she immediately covered her mouth.

“Oh my God! What exactly is he doing?”

“If I’m not mistaken, he’s probably rented all the advertising spaces in Northern Su to confess his love to you.”

“Is he crazy? How much money would that cost? No, I have to call him and tell him to stop this immediately; otherwise, who knows how much he’ll waste?”

Just as Qin Nuanyu was about to grab her phone to make the call, Mu Shuyu grabbed her wrist and shook her head.

“Fool, this is the kind of confession every woman dreams of but can’t get. You’ve landed yourself such a great thing, and you want to reject it? I really don’t know if you’re smart or just plain foolish.”

“So what should I do now?”

“Of course, you have to go to Su Bei Square! Xiao Fan put so much effort into this; as the leading lady, you have to stay with him until the very end. Otherwise, how could you face him?”

“I’ll go right now.”

With that, Qin Nuanyu stood up immediately but soon stomped her foot anxiously.

“Oh no, I left my car at your apartment complex. If I go back to get it now, it’ll waste so much time before I get to Su Bei Square.”

Mu Shuyu shook her head.

“Fine, I guess I’ll accompany you. Use my car; I’ll take you to Su Bei Square.”

“But... I just said some things to you…”

Qin Nuanyu blushed slightly, but Mu Shuyu firmly grabbed her wrist.

“Come on, don’t be so polite! Don’t make me miss out on even being a supporting role!”
