The Art of Pursuing: The Unyielding Ex-wife

Xu Yisen’s deeply tender call softly touched Munni’s heartstrings, the images from that drunken night replayed in her mind like movie clips.

She nervously lowered her eyes, interrupting Xu Yisen, "Is there anything else? I have another appointment, if not, I’ll be leaving now."

After speaking, to disguise her panic, she deliberately raised her wrist to glance at the time.

What she didn’t notice was that Xu Yisen’s dark eyes watching her had a trace of mischievous smile gradually spreading.

"Who did you make plans with?"

Munni glanced at Xu Yisen in surprise, intrigued that he was curious about whom she was going to meet.

She raised her wrist again to check the time, showing some impatience on her face, yet honestly replied, "Zeng Peijing."

"Oh? I wasn’t aware you two were still friends."

"There’s a lot you don’t know, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up her handbag and file folder, stood up, and left in her high heels without looking at Xu Yisen.

When Munni reached to open the door, Xu Yisen, sitting on the single sofa, pulled a clever smile at his lips and suddenly spoke: "By the way, Munni, about that night..."

Munni’s hand hadn’t grasped the doorknob yet, she swiftly turned around to interrupt what Xu Yisen was going to say, instinctively defended, "That night I was drunk, I don’t know what happened afterward. If you intend to make up anything related to that night, then save your energy."

Sitting on the sofa, Xu Yisen was clearly stunned upon hearing Munni’s stream of uninterrupted words.

And Munni, after what she just said, realized she was a bit too aggressive. To cover her awkwardness, she reached out to tidy her long hair by her ear and continued, "Is there anything else?"

"I meant that night when we went home together, didn’t you promise mother you’d come over on the fifteenth of next month for a gathering?"

Xu Yisen’s explanation appeared a bit innocent, and Munni felt increasingly embarrassed upon hearing his words.

She replied, "We’ll talk about it later."

Then she turned around again, reached out to turn the doorknob, and hurriedly left.

While Xu Yisen, still sitting on the single sofa, couldn’t suppress the brilliant smile spreading at the corners of his mouth.

His deep eyes rare showed a hint of childlike innocence and a subtle trace of ill intent.

During the meeting earlier, he noticed Munni had been staring at him, repeatedly zoning out in a daze, her facial expression quite bewildered.

Hence, he deliberately tested it earlier... And unexpectedly, he was right, Munni’s memories from the night before were quite fragmented after she woke up.

...

Munni had a cup of coffee with Zeng Peijing, during the thirty minutes, Zeng Peijing initiated the topic of Xu Yisen five times, and each time she’d lavish him with praise overtly and subtly.

If she didn’t know Xu Yisen and Zeng Peijing had no dealings, Munni would certainly suspect Zeng Peijing had received some favor from Xu Yisen.

After Munni subtly hinted she wanted to keep a pretty boy, Zeng Peijing decisively took her to the nightclub most favored by wealthy ladies under her management.

Zeng Peijing generously helped Munni select five men, but before Munni seriously reviewed the men, she heard Zeng Peijing pointing at the five men who entered:

"This looks, pales in comparison to Chairman Xu, won’t do, you can leave."

"This height, falls a bit short compared to Chairman Xu, won’t do, you can leave."

"..."

Just like that, the five men had no sooner entered the room than were quietly ushered out by Zeng Peijing.

Munni finally realized that Zeng Peijing entirely had no intention of doing business with her, could it be she’s afraid of provoking Xu Yisen?
