After hanging up the phone, Hu Feng did not dare speak again. He could not take the torture of the atmosphere alone, he cursed in his heart, his subordinates are all useless, wouldn't they all have pig's heads to stop Lin? Don't you know that Shang Muxia is different from the white total?
Hu Feng acknowledged and sighed in his heart.
He could not help but take out his phone and call Shang Muxia.
However, this was an estranged form of address.
However, this was not a big deal. At least she had picked up the phone. Bai Ye's originally anxious mood had suddenly lightened a lot. She cautiously opened her mouth and asked, "Where are you?"
On the other side, Shang Muxia looked at Lin Zhiqian who was standing opposite her, holding a menu and ordering dishes. When she blurted out those three words, Lin Zhiqian, who was still smiling faintly while ordering dishes, suddenly froze.
"I'm out having dinner with a friend." Shang Muxia replied carefully, her gaze looking at Lin Zhiqian who had a strange expression, and her body unconsciously moved out of the way.
In Lin Zhiqian's mind, the proud attitude of that day when Bai Ye came to the Lin Family Residence, and the words that Su Ruoshui had said to him flashed across his mind.
Shang Muxia was indeed related to Bai Ye, the reason why the Lin Clan fell into such a situation was all because of Mu Xia?
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqian suddenly felt that the dishes on the menu were hard to eat, and it also made him uncomfortable.
Seeing Shang Muxia's guarded look, the flames of anger in Lin Zhiqian's heart burned hotter. He fiercely slammed the menu onto the table, his expression darkened but he did not flare up. He only opened his mouth and asked, "Mu Xia, can you hang up his phone?"
He bit each word with force, almost as though he was spitting it out from his teeth, causing Shang Muxia to tremble uncontrollably as she looked at him in confusion.
Bai Ye, who was at the side, also heard Lin Zhiqian's words. He clenched his hand into a fist and asked in a deep voice, "Mu Xia, where are you?"
There was a storm in his words, and a distinct sense of oppression.
"I'm here..." Shang Muxia originally wanted to answer him, but suddenly, Lin Zhiqian stood up and grabbed her phone. She exclaimed softly and was a little stunned as she watched Lin Zhiqian hang up the phone.
"What are you doing!" Shang Muxia berated angrily.
His actions just simply caused all the good feelings that Shang Muxia had accumulated for him to completely disappear, and even faintly rose to the level of disgust.
Maybe because Lin Zhiqian hung up the phone with Bai Ye, she was the knight in her heart right now.
"Mu Xia, listen to my explanation." Lin Zhiqian immediately returned the phone to her, with a terrified look on his face, he desperately pressed down on both of Shang Muxia's hands that were holding the bag.
Shang Muxia took the phone, wanting to turn it on to call Bai Ye back, but Lin Zhiqian opposed it strongly.
Lin Zhiqian covered the hand she was holding on to with both hands and explained: "Mu Xia, he's not a good person. It's best if you don't get too close with him.
Shang Muxia's gaze suddenly turned cold, and her tone became less friendly than before. "Zhiqian, you don't need to care what kind of friends I have."
"I know, I also know that I no longer have the right to care about any of your matters. I might even have no reason to interfere in your life at all." Lin Zhiqian's tone became soft and gentle, he was not as overbearing as before, and his entire person became sickly.
Shang Muxia frowned. Facing this kind of Lin Zhiqian, she didn't know what to say.
"These are the social circle photos of your friend that I investigated. Mu Xia, take a look." Lin Zhiqian took out a dozen of photos from his jacket pocket and handed them over to Shang Muxia.
Shang Muxia did not understand, but she still took the picture. Looking at the pictures, her eyes were filled with shock.
In the photo, there was a man and woman who could not bear to part with their lips in the bar. She did not know the woman, but she did know the man. It was Bai Ye.
The second picture was in the restaurant. The woman had changed. The man was still in the middle of the night. The way the two of them acted was a bit ambiguous and provocative.
Shang Muxia continued to flip through the pictures. The same male lead, the same female lead, even some pictures to the point that their bones were exposed.
Not knowing why, Shang Muxia's hand suddenly trembled, and the photo in her hand just rested on the table. She raised her head to look at Lin Zhiqian, and only after a long while did she ask: "What do you mean?"
Lin Zhiqian held onto her thin shoulders and said, "Mu Xia, he's not a good person. He's a famous playboy in our high society, I was worried that you would be tricked by him. That's why I was so excited just now."
Shang Muxia struggled free from his restraints, she looked at the photo on the table and calmed down, then said: "Let's order, I'm hungry."
After saying that, she sat back down listlessly. In her mind, she was thinking about those photos, each and every one of them were so exposed and absurd that it made her stomach churn.
Her memories returned to the first time they had met. This was a terrible beginning, but it was also enough to show her just how unreliable this man was.
So this was what was going on behind the back of the Knight.
Seeing her like this, Lin Zhiqian was a little angry, but also happy with her trust.
Originally, he was worried that Shang Muxia wouldn't trust him, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.
As he was feeling proud, he could not help but be angry at Shang Muxia for being absent-minded for a man.
Sure enough, just as Su Ruoshui had said, this woman was together with that Bai fellow.
Lin Zhiqian endured his rage and asked Shang Muxia what he wanted to eat in a refined manner, while automatically ignoring her expression and ordering dishes.
During the time that Lin Zhiqian had been serving the dishes, he had found an opportunity to talk to Shang Muxia about the White Night and even pointed out the name of the woman in the photo.
Shang Muxia could only nod her head the whole time, she could see anything she pointed to, but she couldn't hear a single word of what she said in her head. They were basically all in her left ear and out of her right ear.
She wanted to tell Lin Zhiqian to stop, she didn't want to hear it, but she seemed to have forgotten how to say it.
