Exclusive Property: Mr. Mu's Favorite Chapter 265 - Display of Affection

Chapter 265 - Display of Affection

Ning Xiaofei just took two steps when she felt a tightness around her waist. Looking down, he saw Mu Tianye’s arm wrapped around her slender waist.
This was the first time that Mu Tianye has been so intimate with her in front of outsiders.
Feeling the heat of a man’s palm through her clothes, Ning Xiaofei’s heartbeat gradually increased. Embracing Ning Xiaofei with one hand, Mu Tianye slowly extended his right hand.
“Welcome!”
Looking across the palm of his hand hooked around the girl’s waist, Xicheng reached out and shook his hand.
“I’ve kept you two waiting.”
“No, we’ve just arrived too.” Ning Xiaofei tried to pry Mu Tianye’s palm open and spoke with a smile, “Xicheng, take a seat!”
As the three took their seats respectively, Mu Tianye raised his chin, gesturing for Zhou Tao to serve the food, but his arm remained embracing Ning Xiaofei without any hint of leaving.
While the waiter was pouring tea for Xicheng, Xicheng’s gaze fell on Ning Xiaofei’s face worriedly.
“I heard that you resigned. It’s not because of me, is it?”
“Of course not. I’m the one who doesn’t want to stay there anymore.” Ning Xiaofei immediately explained, “Besides, I’ve already found a new job.”
Xicheng certainly wasn’t surprised. He knew about this matter even earlier than she did.
“Congratulations.”
“Thanks.” Ning Xiaofei smiled, “Have some tea!”
When Xicheng lifted his cup and brought it to his lips for a sip, Mu Tianye withdrew his left hand from Ning’s waist and helped her tuck a long strand of hair on the side of her face behind her ear, and bent slightly to the side of her ear.
“Don’t forget the stuff.”
“Oh, right.” Ning Xiaofei quickly reached for the paper bag that was placed on the side. “I’m really sorry that I lost your coat before, but Tianye got something from Hong Kong. See if it fits.”
Xicheng didn’t receive it and just curled his lips gently. “We’re friends and it’s just a piece of clothing. There’s no need to take it so seriously.”
“That won’t work. You must take this.” Ning Xiaofei pushed the paper bag to his side. “Otherwise, I’d be too embarrassed.”
“The one who should be embarrassed should be me.” Xicheng gazed apologetically at her face. Looking at her nose that was still slightly swollen, the tip of his eyebrows wrinkled up again, “I’ve caused you so much trouble. “
Ning Xiaofei still wanted to argue, but Mu Tianye had already picked up the conversation, “Since Mr. Xicheng also knows about it, please watch your steps from now on and don’t give her any more trouble.”
Ning Xiaofei immediately shook his arm under the table, indicating him not to speak more of it. Then she hurriedly tried to smooth things over, “I’m so hungry, let’s eat! Xicheng, don’t be polite. Here, try this.”
She twiddled her chopsticks, served Xicheng a chop of food, and in passing, grabbed one of her favorites, a sweet-fried hawthorn.
Damned girl, she gave Xicheng a dish, yet ignored him!
Mu Tianye reached out and pinched her waist.
When Ning Xiaofei turned to him, she saw the man’s thin lips partly open and his gaze was fixated on the hawthorn between her chopsticks.
Surprisingly, a grown man like him liked to eat something like it. Though surprised, she still sent the food to his mouth obediently.
Mu Tianye ate it in one bite, biting hard.
It’s so sour!
What rotten food!
When he looked up and met Xicheng’s gaze, he immediately loosened his frown to look like he was enjoying it.
“Delicious.”
How was Ning Xiaofei supposed to know that the man’s teeth were getting sour? She thought he really loved it, so she immediately served another one on his plate.
“I loved to eat this when I was a kid. Every time Mom finished making it, I ate it all without waiting for it to cool down, until my teeth ended up being sour. I couldn’t chew my rice so I could only eat porridge.”
