Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go-Chapter 565: Surprised? Unexpected?

Before Zhang Shishi could say anything, Mu Shaojie laughed and said, "We’re doing great! Have you seen the jewelry company’s advertisement?"

Of course, Mu Shaochen had seen it. Watching them play a couple seamlessly, he couldn’t sleep the entire night.

The affectionate gazes they exchanged and the tenderness when they touched hands were imprinted in his mind, unable to be erased.

"I saw it; it was filmed very well." Mu Shaochen suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said softly, picking up the teacup and taking a sip.

The tea was slightly bitter, and his heart was even more so.

Zhang Shishi couldn’t forget it. She couldn’t get into character until she filled her mind with thoughts of Mu Shaochen, and only then could she perform successfully.

Now, facing him again, her heart couldn’t remain calm.

"Shi Shi, Third Brother is inviting us to dinner today." Mu Shaojie placed his hand on the back of Zhang Shishi’s chair, a strong display of possessiveness.

Zhang Shishi looked at Mu Shaochen, "Thank you, Mr. Mu."

"Why are you calling him Mr. Mu?" Mu Shaojie laughed, "Wouldn’t it be better to call him Third Brother like I do?"

Zhang Shishi remained silent.

"Mr. Mu is also fine." Mu Shaochen smoothed things over. Honestly, he was afraid to hear her call him Third Brother, which would mean a real possibility of her and Mu Shaojie becoming a couple.

Mu Shaojie wasn’t giving up, "Calling him Mr. Mu is too distant."

"Third Brother..." Zhang Shishi called him softly.

Mu Shaochen seemed to hear the sound of his heart shattering, as if an icy dagger was being driven inch by inch into him.

His sense of pain intensified bit by bit, to the point where he could scarcely breathe.

It was the sound of the waiter coming in to take orders that snapped Mu Shaochen out of it.

He looked at the menu, ordered a few signature dishes, and although they were delicious, eating them felt like chewing wax.

...

Sunshine Farm, Wind and Cloud Pavilion.

When Mu Anhan arrived, Xue Xiangtong sent her a voice message, saying she was still on the way and asked her to order first, assuring she’d arrive soon.

Mu Anhan ordered and took out her phone to play.

Tang Haolang created a foodie group and added Mu Anhan. Everyone in the group was someone she knew.

There was Lie Huo, He Gang, Mu Shaochen, all part of their usual crowd.

Tang Haolang posted a picture of himself and He Gang drinking, [Who else is coming?]

Mu Shaochen: [I’ll be there later.]

Tang Haolang: [What the heck! Aren’t you having dinner with your quadruplet brother?]

Mu Anhan: [Third Brother, you’re having dinner with Sixth Brother? Where?]

Mu Shaochen sent over the address.

Mu Anhan: [Third Brother, I’m going to give you a surprise.]

After sending this message, she ran over to Smoke Rain Pavilion to knock on the door.

She pushed open the door and cheered, "Surprised? Unexpected? I’m here for dinner too."

Mu Shaochen got up and hugged her briefly, "Come, sit and join us for the meal."

"Tong Tong said Sixth Brother introduced her to this farm and asked me to give it a try. Who would’ve thought that Third Brother, Sixth Brother, and Shi Shi would be having dinner here?" Mu Anhan walked in and said.

Zhang Shishi warmly pulled her to sit down, "Where’s Tong Tong? Hasn’t she arrived yet? Should we invite her to eat with us?"

Zhang Shishi found this meal tasteless.

Stuck between two men, even though the unspoken tension hadn’t been broached, how could she not feel the turbulent undercurrents between them?

Mu Anhan’s appearance surely would defuse her crisis.

"I’ll leave a message for Tong Tong, telling her to find us here as soon as she arrives." Mu Anhan took out her phone and sent Xue Xiangtong a voice message.
