Chapter 778 The Sister Who Was Shackled Because She Wasn't Sent Away (3)
Fu Ci looked at the man and woman in front of him, and no matter how moved they were to tears, his cold and handsome face remained completely calm.
My fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.
Suddenly, he stopped moving, raised his hand to look at his watch, and spoke in a cold voice:
"Ten minutes have passed."
He promised to give the two of them ten minutes, not a minute more.
The man opposite quickly got up to stop them:
"Brother, please help me, I really want to marry Qianqian."
Even though the person in front of him was his cousin, Fu Ci showed no emotion.
"Your reasoning doesn't convince me, and besides, I don't think your choice is correct."
Seeing that he was about to leave, his younger cousin panicked and pulled Qianqian along to chase after him.
"Brother, I know many people can't accept that Qianqian is my ex-sister-in-law. It was my mistake to fall for her. I can't control my feelings. She's single and I'm single too. Why can't we be together?"
"Keep these words for your parents to explain."
Fu Ci's brows were already showing signs of impatience.
Although my cousin was anxious, he didn't dare to stop him anymore.
Unexpectedly, just as Fu Ci was about to turn and leave, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Before he could react, a pair of soft, boneless hands suddenly hugged him from behind.
A soft, warm body pressed against his back unexpectedly.
Even through the not-so-thin suit jacket, that softness could still be clearly felt.
He froze completely.
My heart seemed to skip a beat.
He subconsciously looked down at the hands around his waist.
Her skin was as white as warm jade, and her body as slender as a tender willow.
These are a girl's hands.
Her arms were clenched tightly, and she seemed nervous and uneasy, even her breathing became rapid.
He could feel the rise and fall of her breath, and her slight trembling.
A soft, gentle voice sounded faintly:
"They said you were on a blind date, how could you do this to me?"
Even without seeing her face, you could hear her sadness and resentment in her timid voice.
Fu Ci's back was tense, and his face was slightly cold.
My cousin across the way was stunned, momentarily forgetting that he was still grieving.
However, upon seeing Fu Ci's unpleasant expression, the cousin and his ex-sister-in-law silently took a step back.
Clearly, this sudden embrace did not warm the heart of the indifferent man before her.
Sure enough, Fu Ci tore those hands apart in the next instant.
The force was far from gentle.
Mu Zhou staggered as she was pulled, and she was stunned for a moment, her face showing some confusion.
Just as she was about to confront the man, she saw him turn around and look at her.
Upon seeing that unfamiliar yet handsome face, Mu Zhou's almond-shaped eyes widened slowly, and she couldn't help but open her mouth.
Such an expression on that overly delicate face actually made her look somewhat charming.
"You, who are you..."
Fu Ci twitched the corner of his mouth:
"Madam, shouldn't I be asking you that?"
Mu Zhou realized he had mistaken someone for someone else and made a blunder. His face instantly turned crimson, and his whole body felt like it was burning up.
She was somewhat incoherent, her small face showing nervousness and helplessness:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else, I didn't mean to... I just... I'm sorry."
A thousand words can be summed up in one simple apology.
Fu Ci, however, remained expressionless, standing there glaring at her.
Mu Zhou was so ashamed that he could only flee in panic.
Fu Ci narrowed his eyes as he watched her retreating figure, then walked away.

Mu Zhou ran all the way to another area.
The 0001 prompt also happened to appear.
[Target Fu Ci, Affection level 0%, Up 5%, Down 6%, Current Affection -1%]
It seems that her hug did stir some emotions in his heart.
Although it may not be so good.
But not necessarily.
His instincts raised his self-esteem, and the subsequent decline was simply a return to reason.
As she was thinking, she had already arrived near Huo Xiaoyun.
Huo Xiaoyun looked up and saw her immediately. He then gestured to Mu Zhou with his eyes.
Mu Zhou composed herself and walked towards him.
She stopped at the table.
The people at the table stopped talking and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Mu Zhou's tears fell instantly. She looked at Huo Xiaoyun, her face full of hurt.
"Huo Xiaoyun, you actually went on a blind date behind my back? What do you take me for?"
Mu Zhou was born with the appearance of a delicate white flower, with a slender, frail, and pitiful figure.
At this moment, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears, making her even more pitiful and endearing, and inexplicably evoking pity in people.
Huo Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, then immediately got up and walked to her side, looking extremely anxious.
"Let me explain. I was tricked into coming here. I told my mom I have a girlfriend, but she wouldn't believe me and arranged this blind date for me without my knowledge!"
Mu Zhou pushed him away:
"I will never trust you again!"
She ran away crying.
Huo Xiaoyun instinctively wanted to chase after her, but remembering his purpose, he lowered his gaze and said to his mother, who was already in a daze:
"Mom, you've really ruined my life!"
His mother was completely stunned:
"You, you really have a girlfriend?"
Over the past few years, Huo Xiaoyun has always said he had a girlfriend, only to say they broke up after a while.
Over time, she realized that her son was lying to her, so she went ahead and arranged this blind date regardless of the consequences.
Unexpectedly, this time it was actually true.
While they were making a scene, Fu Ci, who was about to leave, happened to witness the farce.
He thought of the girl who had just run away crying, his eyes paused for a moment, but he quickly regained his cold expression and walked away.
Mu Zhou, who was already in a taxi, heard a notification that his favorability rating had increased.
[Target Fu Ci, favorability increased by 2%, current favorability 1%.]
Mu Zhou smiled.
It seems he saw it.
*
In the evening, Mu Zhou's doorbell rang.
She walked to the door, looked through the peephole and saw that it was Huo Xiaoyun before opening the door.
Huo Xiaoyun, beaming with pride, came in carrying a late-night snack.
"That's great. Today's incident has put my mom in awe. I reckon she'll never dare to arrange blind dates for me without my permission again."
As soon as Mu Zhou left, his mother was busy apologizing to the woman and didn't care about anything else.
Huo Xiaoyun and Mu Zhou lived across the hall from each other and had been to her house more than once, so she went straight to the kitchen without Mu Zhou having to entertain her, put out the late-night snack, and took two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator.
"It's still hot, eat it quickly."
He bought barbecue, all of which were their favorites.
Mu Zhou didn't stand on ceremony and sat down at the table.
"By the way, I'll have to trouble you to keep up the act for a while longer. Once it's almost over, I'll tell my family that we've developed a rift because of this blind date, and that no matter how much I tried to persuade you to stay, you still wanted to break up. Then I'll be heartbroken and won't date again for many years."
"……Row."
Mu Zhou had no objections, and it was exactly what she wanted.
After a pause, she continued:
"Don't you have a colleague at your company who is a distant relative of your mother's? Would you like me to go to the company to verify this for you?"
Huo Xiaoyun's eyes lit up upon hearing this:
"That's great, but it's too much trouble for you."
"What trouble? I'm the one who troubles you more."
The original owner was alone and young, and Huo Xiaoyun really helped her a lot.
Her sudden display of tenderness made Huo Xiaoyun scratch his head sheepishly and chuckle.
"Hey, let's not talk about that."
