  Mi Xiaoxiao fell silent and looked at Mu Qing in concern.

  She was a smart girl, and could guess that there must have been something else going on between Mu Qing and Zhao Anan because of which this couple in deep love, had been in such a state for so many years.

  Mi Xiaoxiao had agreed to help them because of Shangguan Ning earlier, but now, she wanted to do it for Mu Qing.

  There were not so many nice men in the world but Mu Qing happened to be one of them. So, Mi Xiaoxiao hoped that his wish could come true and he would live happily with the woman whom he had been in love with for eleven years.

  She suddenly smiled and said, “I have a feeling that Shangguan’s plan will work out successfully!”


  Mu Qing smiled brightly and gentleness reflected from his dark-brown eyes. “It would be great if the plan works out, but even if it doesn’t, I have decided that I will always keep Anan company.”
……

  Zhao Anan had become very anxious waiting outside the building, but she did not dare to enter the hospital. Every member of the staff at the hospital knew her and Mu Qing would be aware of her existence the moment she entered the building.

  She did not want Mu Qing to know that she was stalking his girlfriend. She must keep it hidden.

  So, she just waited outside the building.

  The hospital had coated windows, so the people inside could see the view outside the building but the outsiders could not see anything inside.

  So even if Zhao Anan looked up at Mu Qing’s office, she could see nothing.

  What she did not know was that Mu Qing was looking at her through the layered glass.

  After an hour of waiting, she almost fell asleep in the taxi and then she saw Mi Xiaoxiao coming out of the hospital with a sway of her hips.

  And on Mi Xiaoxiao’s top, was Mu Qing’s cream-colored patterned shirt.

  Mu Qing stayed by her side and opened the car door for her with a smile on the face, sending her into the car with a hand over her head.

  They looked so happy together!

  Zhao Anan got furious. She was no longer sleepy.

  Opening the door was Mu Qing’s habitual behavior.

  He always did that and Zhao Anan had witnessed his behavior many times before, but she had never thought of it as a big deal. But now, she was observing Mi Xiaoxiao with prejudice, so no matter what Mu Qing did for her, she found Mi Xiaoxiao annoying and felt that the couple was already in a sweet relationship.

  Mu Qing was not wearing the white gown, but a casual wine colored shirt and grey striped pants as well as a pair of black leather shoes. This was not what Mu Qing would normally wear. Dressed in this way, he looked a little bit more charming.

  Because of his fair skin, the wine colored shirt made him look radiant.

  Zhao Anan got a bit startled.

  Mu Qing could not have bought all this, because it was not his style. He always preferred light colored clothes and shoes. He would never have put on any black or red ones.

  She had seen all of Mu Qing’s clothes and none of what he was wearing right now had been seen by her earlier. Also, the clothes and shoes looked brand new!

  That was to say…… this woman bought this outfit for Mu Qing!

  Zhao Anan felt both distressed and saddened at the sight of Mu Qing who had a different look about him.

  She suddenly realized that after knowing Mu Qing for so many years and being in such a close relationship with him, she had never bought a new outfit for Mu Qing ever.

  And this woman had known him for only one day, and she was able to make Mu Qing look totally different. She had done better than Zhao Anan ever did for him!

  After the comparison, Zhao Anan suddenly realized that she had done nothing for Mu Qing in the past eleven years except making trouble constantly.

  When she saw Shangguan Ning buying clothes for Jing Yichen earlier, she had no special feeling towards that behavior, and never thought about buying any outfit for Mu Qing. Even when Shangguan Ning urged her to do so, she had not taken it seriously.

  Now she finally understood what Shangguan Ning had done was right and that she had never given importance to the small things in life.

  She always felt that Mu Qing, who was already a grown man, should be able to buy clothes for himself and would not need her care.

  But that was not the point. When she saw Mu Qing being taken care of by someone else and getting clothes from another woman, she felt so jealous!

  Zhao Anan suddenly felt that maybe it would be a great thing if Mu Qing married another woman, instead. He will have a better marital life with someone else than with her.

  She would definitely not be as kind and careful as the other woman.

  If she had been Mu Qing’s parent, she would not have allowed him to marry someone who could do nothing for him and who could die any time.

  Standing in front of Mi Xiaoxiao’s car, Mu Qing slightly bent his back and said to Mi Xiaoxiao. “Ms. Mi, thank you for helping out. I am sorry for what happened yesterday. I left in a hurry and forgot to pay for the meal. I will definitely treat you to a better meal next time.”


  Mi Xiaoxiao put on the sunglasses and stretched out her hand towards Mu Qing without looking at him and said, “No thanks, just give me the money!”


  “Ah?”


  Mu Qing was startled. He had never expected that Mi Xiaoxiao would act in this way and ask for money. Wasn’t she afraid that she would be humiliated in front of him? He had already told her that he would make it up later.

  “What are you sighing for? Give me the money now. The meal cost 4,600 yuan yesterday and with interest, please give me 5,000 yuan. I am helping you here and am not going to pay for your mistake.”


  This was so straightforward!

  Mu Qing instantly revised his assessment about Mi Xiaoxiao but that made him comfortable and pleased, because he did not like pretentious people. He preferred those with straightforward personality. That was why he liked Zhao Anan.

  He scooped out his wallet and counted the bills. He said with embarrassment, “I am sorry, I only have 1,200 yuan in cash. What about you taking this much for the time being. I will pay the rest later.”


  Mi Xiaoxiao removed her sunglasses and gave Mu Qing a teasing look. “This is a common way for a man to court a woman – always looking for the next time. It means a second date!”


  Mu Qing was dumbfounded!

  “No, no, that is not what I meant. No one has 5,000 yuan cash in their wallets all the time. What about you leaving the bank account details with me and I will transfer the money to you?!”


  Jesus Christ! What made this girl so confident? Too many pursuers?

  Sweat trickled down alongside Mu Qing’s forehead and he found that no woman was easy to deal with. Look at Zhao Anan, Shangguan Ning and Mi Xiaoxiao, all of them were so difficult to handle. Zheng Lun must be the only one who would not cause trouble for Zheng Jing. She was gentle, obedient and kind. God, how lucky Zheng Jing was.

  “Well, no. Do I look like someone who is poor?”


  If you were not poor, what are you asking me for money then?!

  Mu Qing replied, “No, no, you are not poor.” You are just mental!
