Li Ni looked at Nian Mu and then at Mu Shaoling, her heart full of inquiry. Even the rich hot pot could not arouse her interest.
All she could think about was, if there was really something going on between Nian Mu and Mu Shaoling, what would Ruan Bai do?
Li Ni's heart was full of entanglements, and the hot pot she was looking forward to became less delicious.
After finishing the meal in a daze, Nianmu looked at the few side dishes left and sighed silently in her heart. Fortunately, she had prepared more, otherwise, it would have been embarrassing.
Seeing that it was almost time for T Group to go to work in the afternoon, she stood up and took the initiative to clear the dining table.
Li Ni sat there and looked at Mu Shaoling.
He didn't help Nian Mu. Looking at it this way, he seemed to be here to enjoy the hot pot, which was not what a male host should do.
But she wasn't sure yet.
Mu Shaoling knew what Li Ni was thinking. He glanced at the time, stood up and said, "It's almost time. I'll go back to work first."
His words were like a husband reporting to his wife. Nian Mu felt a little strange, but he was sure that these words were meant for him, so he nodded and walked into the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks in hand.
Mu Shaoling stood up and wanted to leave.
Li Ni also stood up and followed him, leaving one after the other.
She gently closed the door without locking it, just to prevent Nian Mu from hearing their conversation.
"Mu Shaoling, I have something to ask you." Li Ni no longer called him Mr. Mu politely this time. After all, in her heart, Mu Shaoling was now a man who was sorry for her best friend.
Mu Shaoling stood there, turned around and looked at Li Ni, "Is something wrong?"
His tone was indifferent, as if he felt that everything he did was normal and he knew nothing wrong.
Li Ni snorted coldly and said, "How do you know the password lock of this house?"
"It's always been this combination lock." Mu Shaoling said, knowing what she wanted to know. When she asked, he answered.
Li Ni was shocked, such a frank answer?
She asked again: "Are the clothes hanging on the balcony yours?"
"The men's clothes are mine." Mu Shaoling continued.
Li Ni took a deep breath. Under what circumstances would a man's clothes appear in a woman's apartment? The answer is that the two are already living together.
She clenched her fists and asked, "Is this how you treat Xiaobai? Does she know what you have done?"
"So what if you know? So what if you don't know?" Mu Shaoling asked rhetorically.
Li Ni is now sure that Ruan Bai went abroad not voluntarily. It was 100% that Mu Shaoling disliked her, so he sent her abroad. When doing such a thing, he would not be scolded by everyone, nor would he
Known by Ruan Bai.
She felt sorry for Ruan Bai from the bottom of her heart, "Mu Shaoling, you are really not a human being. It is simply unfair to treat Xiao Bai like this."
"Li Ni, you are too naive." Mu Shaoling looked at Li Ni eager to stand up for Ruan Bai and shook his head, "You don't know anything, so don't say such things. Also, your own
Don't meddle in other people's business until the matter is resolved. What's more, is that what you want to say while eating the hot pot Nian Mu prepared for you? Do you consider her a friend? "
Li Ni was stunned. Of course she thought Nian Mu was a friend, but when she thought about Nian Mu and Mu Shaoling being together, she couldn't help it and said: "I treat Nian Mu as a friend, whether it's inappropriate or not, or I can't hide it."
Despite your betrayal of Xiaobai, I never expected that she would choose such a heartless person like you."
"You regard Nian Mu as a good friend from the bottom of your heart, so you shouldn't say such things. You have decided that I am a heartless person, so what is Nian Mu?" Mu Shaoling pressed the elevator button, not intending to continue to argue with her on this topic.
A woman who can't even control her own emotional affairs will be confused if she talks too much.
Li Ni took a deep breath and felt a little guilty. Yes, she regarded Ruan Bai as a friend. Naturally, she also regarded Nian Mu as a friend.
But the man in front of her made her doubt whether her friendship was sincere.
Could it be that her friendship with Nian Mu is not sincere? The current closeness is purely because she can be a safe haven when she is helpless and has nowhere to go?
Are you dating Nian Mu because you treat her as a tool?
Li Ni quickly denied this idea. She was sincere in her relationship with Nian Mu.
But Ruan Bai...
When the elevator reached the floor, Mu Shaoling held down the elevator door to prevent it from closing. He said: "When you haven't figured out who you consider as a friend, or even figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing, don't treat others casually.
To criticize, you don’t know many things, not only my side of things, but also your own side of things, Li Ni, you can’t just escape or be too confused.”
After saying that, he walked into the elevator.
Li Ni suddenly became angry, "Who are you calling stupid? I'm smarter than you! Damn it!"
No matter how she cursed, the elevator door still closed. She looked at the numbers going down and said secretly: "I'm so angry!"
Nian Mu stood at the door, listening to everything they said, and sighed. Li Ni was still suspicious.
The more she wanted to escape, the more she wanted to hide things from her. With Mu Shaoling's move, everything was exposed.
Li Ni walked in and saw Nian Mu standing behind the door. She was startled and said, "Did you hear what we just said?"
"Yes, I heard everything." Nianmu nodded. She didn't close the door, but just closed it, so that the sound that should come in could still be heard.
Li Ni explained: "Don't get me wrong, I just don't want Xiaobai to be sad."
Nian Mu shook his head, naturally knowing what she meant, "You don't need to explain, I understand, but things are not what you imagined."
"Those clothes belong to Mu Shaoling." Li Ni said. Mu Shaoling's clothes were hanging in her house. Doesn't that explain everything?
"Mr. Mu has more than just this one piece of clothing. There are many more hanging in the closet in the nanny's room." Nian Mu sighed, whether she believed it or not, she had to explain, "Now T Group is busy with bidding, he
I usually come over when I work late, but I don't sleep in the master bedroom, but in the nanny's room. After all, if I want to go back to my old house, the journey will take nearly an hour. If I use this hour to rest, I will be refreshed the next day.
It's much better, so he occasionally sleeps here, and the hourly worker will help clean the clothes he changes out of. The set you see now is what he changed out of last night. There is also a bed quilt in the nanny's room.
It is where he rests, and the toiletries in the public bathroom are all his, while mine are in the bathroom of the master bedroom."
Li Ni listened to her explanation and did not go into the nanny's room to look. She walked over and hugged Nian Mu.
