It took Mu Nuannuan a few seconds to digest the meaning of Shen Chuhan's words.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She looked back at Shen Chuhan with a slightly cold expression.
Shen Chuhan smiled, looking innocent: "I just found out too."
Mu Nuannuan laughed, she only believed what he said.
She turned her head and looked towards the door of the banquet hall. There was no figure of Mu Tingxiao there.
After Mu Tingxiao officially accepts the Mu family, he will attend many events and dinners.
But because the dinners and events he attended were very high-end, Mu Nuannuan never thought that Mu Tingxiao would also come to the dinner attended by Shen Chuhan.
On the other hand, the Shen family and the Mu family have no business dealings and rarely get along.
Therefore, she never thought about the possibility that Mu Tingxiao would come to this dinner.
She now feels that Shen Chuhan did it on purpose.
"You are my female companion now, and your task tonight is to be with me." The smile on Shen Chuhan's face deepened, and he retracted his arm, signaling Mu Nuannuan to follow him.
Mu Nuannuan's mood was a little complicated.
If Mu Tingxiao came and found out that she and Shen Chuhan were attending the dinner together, she didn't know how angry she would be.
After much deliberation, Mu Nuannuan decided that it would be better to "surrender" first.
Taking two steps forward, Mu Nuannuan stretched out her hand to protect her stomach: "My stomach hurts a little. I have to go to the bathroom."
Shen Chuhan stopped and looked at her with a half-smile.
After Mu Nuannuan said it, she felt that the words sounded familiar.
At the beginning of the year, she ditched Shen Chuhan at the airport and went abroad alone, using the same trick.
Mu Nuannuan was also a little embarrassed, and explained very sincerely: "This time I really have a stomachache..."
After thinking about it, she made up a random reason: "I have a bad stomach. I have eaten a little bit of miscellaneous food in the past two days and I have diarrhea..."
Shen Chuhan nodded and said, "I'll go with you."
This man is really...
Mu Nuannuan breathed a sigh of relief and let Shen Chuhan accompany her to the bathroom.
After Mu Nuannuan entered the ladies' washroom, she hid in the cubicle and called Mu Tingxiao.
The phone rang twice and was picked up.
"Mu Nuannuan."
Mu Tingxiao's voice was always low, and when he called her name, he always called her by her full name. After a long time, Mu Nuannuan actually felt that his name was also particularly intimate.
Mu Nuannuan organized her words and asked, "Are you going to a dinner party tonight?"
"What? Check the post?" Mu Tingxiao's voice contained a hint of smile: "Don't worry, I won't bring a female companion, I will take Shiye with me."
When Mu Nuannuan heard this, she secretly cried out in her heart.
She didn't know what to say next.
Seeing that Mu Nuannuan remained silent, Mu Tingxiao asked, "What's wrong?"
"I..." Mu Nuannuan really couldn't say it, or she didn't dare to say that she accompanied Shen Chuhan to the dinner.
Mu Tingxiao on the other end waited patiently for her to speak.
Mu Nuannuan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay if you don't bring a female companion."
The smile in Mu Tingxiao's tone became even more obvious: "I'm going to the banquet now, and I'll call you later."
Mu Nuannuan said: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Nuannuan walked around in circles in the bathroom stall.
Mu Tingxiao is really going to attend this dinner. If she goes out, she will definitely meet Mu Tingxiao.
After thinking for a while, Mu Nuannuan gritted her teeth and sat down directly on the toilet.
She decided not to go out and stayed here until the party was over!
She didn't believe that Shen Chuhan could go to the women's restroom to find her!
…
Shen Chuhan was waiting for Mu Nuannuan outside, waiting left and right but she didn't come out.
So, he called Mu Nuannuan.
Mu Nuannuan didn't answer the phone for a long time, and he thought something had happened to her.
When the phone was about to be automatically hung up, Mu Nuannuan answered the phone: "Hello."
Shen Chuhan breathed a sigh of relief and asked her, "Why don't you come out?"
It was quiet for a while on the other end, and then Mu Nuannuan's weak voice came out: "I have diarrhea and I can't get rid of it. Go back quickly and let me squat for a while."
Shen Chuhan: "..."
He knew that Mu Nuannuan didn't want to accompany him to the banquet, but he didn't expect that she could even come up with such a boring excuse.
Shen Chuhan put his hands on his hips and said in a helpless tone: "Nuan Nuan, have you forgotten our previous agreement? You accompany me to the dinner, and I will tell you what I know."
Although Mu Nuannuan really wanted to know something about the Mu family from Shen Chuhan, when things came to pass, she found that Mu Tingxiao, who wanted to be angry, was more terrifying than what happened to the Mu family.
"In the worst case, you won't tell me. That's it. Goodbye."
"beep-"
There was a busy signal from the phone that the call had been hung up. Shen Chuhan was stunned for a moment and stood there with an unpredictable expression for a while. He didn't know what he was thinking before he raised his feet and planned to leave.
At this time, a slender man walked towards him.
Shen Chuhan squinted his eyes slightly, stood still, waited for the man to approach, and blocked his way: "Master Mu, long time no see."
Mu Tingxiao stopped, raised his eyebrows, and said casually: "You really want to see me?"
After Shen Chuhan helped Mu Nuannuan escape last time, Mu Tingxiao said harsh words and punished the Shen family, but in the end he still left a glimmer of hope and did not bankrupt the Shen family.
Mu Tingxiao had no sympathy for a man who had always coveted his woman.
But he knew very well that if he brought down the Shen family, Mu Nuannuan would definitely blame herself.
Shen Chuhan also thought of what Mu Tingxiao did to the Shen family. His face was slightly stern, but he soon laughed again: "No, I was just waiting here for Nuan Nuan to come out. I didn't expect to meet you by such a coincidence."
After Shen Chuhan finished speaking, he smiled meaningfully.
Sure enough, after Mu Tingxiao heard the word "Nuan Nuan" again, his expression changed slightly.
Mu Tingxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Who are you talking about?"
"Your ex-wife, Mu Nuannuan." Shen Chuhan said every word, and deliberately emphasized the word "ex-wife".
Seeing that Mu Tingxiao's expression had darkened, Shen Chuhan added fuel to the fire and continued: "She came to the dinner with me. You two are husband and wife after all. Do you want to say hello when you come out later?"
Mu Tingxiao sneered gloomily, glanced at Shen Chuhan, and walked straight to the women's bathroom.
"What are you doing?" Shen Chuhan watched Mu Tingxiao go directly into the women's bathroom, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
The banquet had just started, and there were really not many people in the bathroom.
Mu Tingxiao thought of the phone call Mu Nuannuan made to him before, and the corners of his mouth became even colder.
Mu Nuannuan, you are very capable.
He started from the bathroom door and followed the first bathroom stall, knocking all the way through.
