Chapter 130: Chapter 130 Just Eat Pizza Hut

Gu Qili briefly described Mu Shuoqian’s situation. In summary, it was just six words: indifferent, handsome, and wealthy.

"I remember now. You were telling me about the male lead in some romance novel the other day, it’s him, right?"

Gu Qili nodded guiltily.

"Well, look at you, getting all clever now. But tell me, is it true, has he really taken you as a replacement?"

"I’m not sure. Anyway, he mentioned someone named ’Xiao Yu’ twice in front of me, both times when he was drunk."

Just thinking of this Xiao Yu made Gu Qili’s chest feel heavy, as if she had swallowed a large rock weighing her down.

"You like him, don’t you?"

Gu Qili pursed her lips, not immediately denying it.

"Don’t deny it, it’s written all over your face. You’ve got that smitten little woman’s look." Mickey said, smiling as she reached out to pinch her cheek.

Gu Qili just smiled, bashful as if her best friend had touched on a heartfelt matter.

As they were chatting, Gu Qili’s text message alert sounded.

Mickey looked somewhat disdainful: "People still send text messages nowadays? Even my mom uses WeChat."

Gu Qili pressed the screen and shrugged helplessly, "He always texts, and rarely calls."

In the middle of their conversation, the text message opened. Sure enough, it was from Mu Shuoqian, just three simple words: "Finished the exam?"

Gu Qili didn’t expect him to be concerned about her exam. She immediately replied with one word: "Yeah."

"Come out."

Could it be that he had been waiting for her at the exam site all this time?

Gu Qili, feeling somewhat perplexed, put down her phone and apologized to Mickey, "He’s here. I have to go out for a sec."

"How sweet, helicoptered in this morning and now eager to pick you up right after the exam." Mickey joked, "You don’t look like a replacement to me, no one would be this attentive to just a stand-in."

"Alright, enough of your sarcasm, I’m off." Gu Qili waved her hand and left with a smile.

Watching her walk away, Mickey sighed softly and then turned back to head to the dormitory.

As soon as Gu Qili walked out the front door, she saw the substitute Range Rover Evoque. She opened the back door to get in. Mu Shuoqian was looking at his computer. He knew she was there but did not look up, simply asking, "How was the exam?"

Sitting next to him, Gu Qili was brimming with confidence, her face lighting up with a smile: "I think I did pretty well. There shouldn’t be any problem passing."

He finally glanced at her, the sunny confidence in her smile seeming to prick him and reduce some of the gloom in his eyes.

"What do you want for lunch?" He rarely took the initiative to ask for her opinion. The last time they went to the club to eat, he ordered directly and she didn’t even get to see what the menu looked like.

"Pizza Hut." Gu Qili was really craving pizza and roasted chicken wings right now.

Yuan Yi, sitting in the front, stiffened. Young Master Qian going to Pizza Hut was out of the question; it was way beneath his status, and besides, he disliked being gawked at while eating.

However, since it was the lady’s request, he thought there might be a chance.

Sure enough, Mu Shuoqian looked calm and seemed to be pondering something with his eyes narrowed.

Seeing he didn’t respond, Gu Qili immediately leaned in, vigorously shaking his arm while wheedlingly pleading, "Mu Shuoqian, please, let’s go to Pizza Hut."

"You want to eat there that badly?"

Gu Qili nodded energetically.

Without saying anything more, he took out his phone and sent a text message, then told Yuan Yi: "Go to the Pizza Hut on Cujin Road."

"There’s one nearby too, no need to go that far," Gu Qili thought, why go the extra mile?

Mu Shuoqian gave her a brief cold look, and Gu Qili immediately shrank back into her seat, daring not to speak further.

When they arrived at the Pizza Hut on Cujin Road, Gu Qili walked in excitedly. However, as she entered, she stopped dead in her tracks. Why were there no customers except for the staff?

This place was bustling, impossible to have no patrons. She even thought she might have to wait for a seat.

"Mr. Mu, Mrs. Mu, welcome." The waitstaff stood enthusiastically on both sides as if greeting VIPs.

Gu Qili felt her legs go weak and slowed her pace. The man, Mu Shuoqian, was already behind her, casually wrapping his arm around her waist: "What are you hesitating for? Didn’t you want to eat at Pizza Hut?"

"But how do they know us? And, why is there no one else in this restaurant?" Gu Qili was still confused when she heard the man’s nonchalant answer: "I bought this place."

Gu Qili: "..."
