Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Make It up as You See Fit

Yuan Yi was also stunned by the question, and after a long thought, he carefully asked back, "Did Young Master Qian say that?"

Gu Qili nodded vigorously, the scene from last night emerging in her mind again—he had embraced her so passionately, yet he called out another person’s name. He said he was drunk, so was it a case of a drunk man’s words being a sober man’s thoughts?

Yuan Yi hesitated, which almost made Gu Qili more certain that this Xiaoyu must have a complicated relationship with Mu Shuoqian. Yuan Yi was probably pondering whether he should tell her the truth or not.

She bit her lip, her mood falling even further.

"Madam, I really don’t know who Xiaoyu is," Yuan Yi said truthfully.

But Gu Qili couldn’t listen anymore; she was convinced that Yuan Yi was unwilling to tell her. Without Mu Shuoqian’s permission, how could he possibly say anything?

After dropping Gu Qili off at school, Yuan Yi felt more and more uneasy about her state. Normally, she would chatter nonstop in the car but today, she was clearly downcast, as though burdened with worries—the cause seemed to be that person named Xiaoyu.

Without delay, Yuan Yi immediately called Mu Shuoqian to report the situation.

Since the Maybach 62 had gone to drop off Gu Qili, Mu Shuoqian drove himself to the company. Upon arriving at the building, he took the elevator from the underground parking lot to the office area on the twenty-fourth floor.

The moment the elevator doors opened, he received a call from Yuan Yi.

"Young Master Qian, there’s something I want to ask about."

"Go ahead," he walked into his office, and his secretary hurriedly made him a cup of coffee with the speed of a whirling gust.

"Who is Xiaoyu?" Yuan Yi asked tentatively, unsure if he was crossing a line.

Mu Shuoqian sat down, casually spun his wide leather chair, and after apparently long contemplation, asked with confusion, "Who is Xiaoyu?"

Yuan Yi: "..."

It was him who asked first.

Why was everyone asking who Xiaoyu is? Just who exactly is this Xiaoyu?

Yuan Yi then repeated Gu Qili’s conversation with him word for word.

Only then did Mu Shuoqian look enlightened: "I made it up."

Yuan Yi’s expression was as if he had swallowed a whole goose egg, not understanding why Young Master Qian would make up a "Xiaoyu" for no reason—was it to do something under the guise of this name ’Xiaoyu’?

"Then, what should I say if Madam asks about it again?" He was now completely unable to fathom Young Master Qian’s thoughts.

Mu Shuoqian picked up his coffee and took a sip, his tone light as he said, "Just make something up yourself."

Yuan Yi felt an urge to smash his head against the steering wheel. He was just a chauffeur, not a screenwriter. Young Master Qian whimsically fabricated a person, and now he had to continue spinning stories for him—this was truly a tricky situation.

This Xiaoyu not only made Yuan Yi want to wail at any moment but also plunged Gu Qili’s mood down into the abyss because of ’her’.

"Qiqi, did you not sleep well last night? Why do you look so listless?" The professor had just finished calling roll and was writing on the blackboard with his back to the class.

Gu Qili managed a forced smile, "It’s nothing."

"Are you upset about Guan Zhe’s matter? Didn’t you say it was already handled, and now we are the ones suing him?" Mickey felt exhilarated thinking about it, as if the villain finally received his comeuppance, "I didn’t expect the law in Aus City to be quite fair."

The fairness of the law actually varies from person to person. If it weren’t for Nan Zhan’s intervention, the situation wouldn’t have turned around so quickly. She would not be sitting in the classroom but in a courthouse.

The naive Mickey naturally didn’t understand.

"Mickey, I’ve been reading a novel recently. In the book, although the male lead always has a cold face towards the female lead, whenever she runs into trouble, he helps her out. And afterward, he tries every means to keep her from finding out. I don’t understand, what kind of mentality is this?"
