Chapter 85 - The Disappearing Woman and the Continuously Delivering Woman

Mu Yi Chu opened his mouth and opened it again, but couldn't say a single word for a long time. It was as though he was struck by aphasia and couldn't remember what to say. He just stood there motionlessly, as if someone had poked his acupoint and he was unable to move.

The woman in front of Mu Zi Chu was also lost in thought as she looked at Mu Yi Chu, but she soon recovered. She had a smile on her face as she asked, ”Have we met somewhere before?”

Mu Yi Chu forcefully pulled the corner of his mouth. The feeling of abandonment that he had suppressed emerged from his chest. Mu Yi Chu felt even colder. It was so cold that his entire body seemed to be trembling.

”What about Cinderella?” Qin Yingye suddenly walked in from outside, breaking the awkward atmosphere and asked Mu Yichu.

The woman retracted her hand that she had placed on Mu Yi Chu's shoulder, and stood beside Qin Yingye with a smile on her face.

”You two …” Mu Yi Chu's gaze moved back and forth between Qin Yingye and the lady, and he did not know what to say.

”I'm asking you, is Cinderella here?” Qin Yingye said again, somewhat displeased.

Mu Yi Chu shifted his gaze to the window. Both his hands were clenched into fists under his sleeves as he slowly opened his mouth. ”She — isn't here. What's the matter?”

”Of course it's because of something. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here to find her. ”Since she's not here, give me her number. I'll contact her myself.” Qin Yingye said, seeing Mu Yi Chu's pale face and the sweat on his forehead, he finally opened his mouth and said, ”Also, I think it would be better if you went to the hospital to see a doctor.”

”Thank you, I'm fine.” Mu Yi Chu calmly pinched his thigh and tried to be brave. Then, he took out his phone from his pocket, took out Bai Zhongyi's contact book and handed it over to him.

Qin Yingye looked at the on the verge of collapsing Mu Yi Chu, he felt that his phone could fall off from his hand at any time, but did not say anything. He was not a meddlesome person, so he naturally would not mention about it again when he reminded him once. His hand quickly entered Bai Zhongyi's number into his phone, and just as he was about to press the dial button, Mu Yi Chu spoke out to stop him.

”She's been very busy these days, so she might not pay attention to the phone at work. If you have anything to say, you can call me late. It would be best if you could call me at 90 pm, so it would be easier to find me. ” Seeing that Qin Yingye had already memorized the number, Mu Yi Chu took his phone back and reminded him out of good intentions.

Qin Yingye immediately moved his finger, dialing the key to the Storage Key. He never thought that he would one day store Bai Zhongyi's number in his phone. After greeting Mu Yi Chu politely, he turned around and said to the person beside him, ”Since he's not here, let's head back first.”

”Wait …”

When Mu Yi Chu heard Qin Yingye say that they were leaving, he immediately shouted loudly. His voice was so sharp that even Mu Yi Chu himself was shocked.

”Anything else?” Qin Yingye said with an expressionless face.

Mu Yi Chu did not answer Qin Yingye, but stared straight at the woman beside Qin Yingye and asked, ”May I ask what your name is?”

”Me?” The woman pointed at herself, once again revealing a surprised expression.

Mu Yi Chu nodded. He anxiously waited for the answer, only to see the woman's red lips move, and she softly said, ”Chen Nuo. My name is Chen Nuo. ”

When Mu Yichu heard her name, his face turned even paler. It was even more exaggerated than the Japanese geisha who wore white powder on their makeup. Qin Yingye looked at Mu Yichu deeply. He clearly felt that the way the noble young master acted was different from the previous two times he had met him. And it was not hard to see the reason behind the strange--it was because of Chen Nuo.

Qin Yingye used his peripheral vision to size up Chen Nuo, who was standing beside his. Her faint reaction clearly treated Mu Yu Chu as a stranger, which was not even close to Mu Yi Chu's nervous reaction. On the other hand, Mu Yichu seemed more like a person who was suffering from great hatred and bitterness as if he was acting out four great tragedies of Shakespeare. It was simply unbelievable, making one unable to make heads or tails of what was happening.

Qin Yingye frowned, he did not want Mu Yi Chu to scare Chen Nuo, after all, he had just brought her here from Singapore. He put his arm around Chen Nuo's shoulders and said to Mu Yichu, ”If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving first.”

”Perhaps …” Mu Yi Chu suddenly spoke behind the two of them.
