Chapter 78: Two Faced (1)

“a.s.sistant Fang told me on the phone earlier that your stomach is in pain . ” After some consideration, Gu Jin smiled and asked him, “Have you taken any medicine?”

“Not yet,” replied Mu Mingcheng as he lowered his chopsticks . He wiped his mouth clean and looked at Gu Jin seriously . “What about you? Have you eaten yet?”

…Something feels unusual about their conversation . This man wasn’t feeling ill nor did he take any medicine .

There was a playful glimmer in Mu Mingcheng’s eyes when he asked Gu Jin whether she had eaten or not .

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow . She didn’t believe that Mu Mingcheng was unaware that she had recently dined with someone . Fang Yuan dared not look in her eyes when she had answered the phone earlier . He must have secretly sent a report to Mu Mingcheng about her meeting with Tong Lin .

So Mu Mingcheng’s intention is to pressure her to admit her mistake?

That’s ridiculous .

“Don’t you have something to say?” Mu Mingcheng folded his arms against his chest and leaned back on his chair with a contemptuous smile . “Who was the man you dined with? What’s your relations.h.i.+p?”

His tone of voice was somewhat inquisitive . If he found another girlfriend, she wouldn’t have to deal with a boyfriend who keeps questioning her whenever she shares a meal with a friend of the opposite s.e.x .

“His name is Tong Lin,” Gu Jin replied calmly as she looked him in the eye . “He is my cla.s.smate and colleague . Is there a problem in sharing a meal to discuss work?”

So that man was originally called Tong Lin . Mu Mingcheng would have a.s.sistant Fang check that man’s background later .

Mu Mingcheng was silent for a moment as he observed Gu Jin’s tender face with a relieved heart .

At first, when he saw the photo of them together, he felt really upset . But when he carefully thought about Gu Jin’s character, he realized she was the kind of person who wouldn’t lie . Since she had promised to spend three months in a relations.h.i.+p with him, she wouldn’t just decide to hook up with others within this time frame .

But then again, her promise is also based on her own selfish reasons . Her trick is to be two-faced fox–appearing compliant in public, but then shows opposition in private

Feeling upset and somewhat annoyed, Mu Mingcheng deliberately ordered green cilantro which Gu Jin disliked the most . It seems to be his way of punis.h.i.+ng her .

This bad woman named Gu Jin must have turned him stupid . When Mu Mingcheng ate his food, he glared at the green cilantro as if they were laughing at him .

“You think it’s okay, but don’t forget what our relations.h.i.+p is . ” Mu Mingcheng frowned and said stiffly, “Now everyone in the capital knows that you’re my girlfriend . It would disgrace me if others see you dine with other men in private . If that happens…”

He cast a sidelong glance at Gu Jin, the meaning behind it was somewhat ambiguous .

Gu Jin blinked innocently . How can it be considered an affair if she was just dining with a friend of the opposite s.e.x? Those group of people must be dirty-minded . Should she help clean their minds with a few bags of cleaning powder?**

(T/N: “black powder” in Chinese refers to gossip/news that dirties someone’s public image . So Gu Jin wants to counter w/ ‘cleaning powder’ figuratively LOL)

“Don’t think too deeply about it,” Gu Jin said as she raised her chin . “We’re just colleagues . I’m not interested in other people . ”

“Ah,” Mu Mingcheng smirked . “To you he means nothing, but it doesn’t seem to be the same for him . ” Although the photos weren’t very detailed, from the general outline, when Gu Jin spoke, that little pretty boy Tong Lin seemed really happy .

Gu Jin noticed that her boyfriend’s tone wasn’t quite right . This jealous demon, there’s obviously nothing going on between them!

“No,” Gu Jin murmured as she looked at him nonchalantly . “He doesn’t like me . ”

Yes, Tong Lin never liked her .

Mu Mingcheng felt even more upset with her thoughtless remark .

Are you feeling sad that the little pretty boy doesn’t like you?

“Oh?” Mu Mingcheng laughed back angrily . His voice was gentle and low, without revealing his mood .

He picked up the cup beside the table and gently rubbed it . The cold texture calmed his restlessness .

“I’m going on a business trip the day after tomorrow . ” Mu Mingcheng put down the cup temporarily and sat up straight . He placed his fingers on the desk and asked, “Do you have any plans coming up soon?”
