Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 387 - 370: Are They Dating or What?

After the two figured the situation out, they decided to let Mu Yunchu and Wen Xu possibly teaming up slide.

Anyway, it’s harmless to the Pei Family.

Honestly, given Pei Jingxiao’s current abilities, they didn’t think handing the Pei Family over to him would be any better.

On the contrary, Wen Xu’s performance in such a short time after taking over the company was impressive enough to make them see him in a new light.

So, they already had some guesses about the outcome.

"The rest depends on the choice of that person."

Pei Jun naturally knew who Pei Hongli was referring to in his cryptic words.

"What if he doesn’t choose Wen Xu?"

The question was met with a long silence.

After a long pause, just when he thought Pei Hongli wouldn’t answer him, he suddenly spoke.

"That would just prove he’s not the best choice."

...

Shortly after Mu Yunchu returned to her room, there was a knock on the door.

It was obvious it should be Wen Xu.

The housekeeper should still be busy and wouldn’t come looking for her without reason.

As she opened the door, sure enough, the person she expected was standing outside.

Before she could speak, Wen Xu pulled her in gently.

The door closed with a bang behind them. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Why are you here?"

Wen Xu instinctively checked if Mu Yunchu was injured.

Compared to his somewhat anxious look, Mu Yunchu appeared much more composed.

"I didn’t expect this to be your home."

Out of respect for Wen Xu, she never tried to glimpse into his family situation through fortune-telling. Besides what he had voluntarily mentioned, she really was unaware.

Mu Yunchu started to ponder again.

She was wondering whether to advise Wen Xu to leave first.

After all, King Yan said that thing was here, and she had to find it. By then, it might really turn this place upside down.

Suddenly, she furrowed her brows and nodded, "You really shouldn’t have admitted to knowing me."

Wen Xu: ?

He looked down in disbelief at Mu Yunchu’s slightly sullen face.

What to do...

Inexplicably finds it cute...

But still maintained a cold demeanor, "What are you talking about?"

Especially when he shifted his focus back from Mu Yunchu’s face and realized the meaning behind her words, he was even more displeased.

"Are you saying I shouldn’t know you?"

Mu Yunchu: ?

She looked up and asked Wen Xu, "I think there must be a reason you need to stay here, right?"

It was more like a question but didn’t seem to give a chance for an answer.

Wen Xu thought, he probably already had some tacit understanding with Mu Yunchu.

So he stayed silent, not intending to speak, just quietly watching Mu Yunchu.

As expected, Mu Yunchu continued talking to herself.

"Since you’ve already said so, there’s no turning back now."

"So, I suggest that while you’re here, you shouldn’t come looking for me often."

"Why?"

Recalling the short drama he watched to kill time a few days ago, Wen Xu slightly leaned forward, encircling Mu Yunchu with his arms bracing against the table behind her.

Then he nervously watched Mu Yunchu’s reaction.

Unfortunately, the latter remained as calm as ever.

Just like that night in the hotel when the two of them were together.

Wen Xu suddenly felt a sense of frustration.

Was it because Mu Yunchu was genuinely oblivious, or was it that he truly lacked appeal?

Mu Yunchu looked serious, "Because what I have to do might be harmful to your family."

As soon as she said this, Wen Xu became serious as well, releasing his grip and standing up straight.

After observing Mu Yunchu for a moment, he already had a rough idea about her reason for coming here.

After a long silence, he suddenly mentioned the reason for his arrival, "I haven’t told you why I’m here yet."

"You don’t need to."

"I am here as a Pei family heir to participate in the family assessment."

Mu Yunchu paused.

She seemed to be seriously contemplating the information in his words.

"If I win, I’ll be the next head of the Pei Family," Wen Xu said, glancing down at Mu Yunchu’s direction.

"But it seems you like being a forensic pathologist more."

Wen Xu was taken aback.

Otherwise, why else would he, who wasn’t short of money, choose to become a forensic pathologist dealing with corpses, organs, and bugs every day while having OCD?

Wen Xu blinked.

A flash of desolation passed through his eyes.

"I wouldn’t say whether I like it or not."

Wen Xu usually didn’t like to talk much.

But today, he felt like saying more.

So he started talking about the reason he became a forensic pathologist.

"Did I ever tell you how my mother died?"

"Everyone told me she had mental problems, but I don’t believe it."

Unconsciously, Wen Xu had clenched his fists at his sides. Even after so many years, this matter remained a knot in his heart.

Mu Yunchu speculated that perhaps it was precisely because he was obsessed with his mother’s death back then that he chose to study a profession where he could ’speak’ to the dead.

"Pretty much."

Wen Xu chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Isn’t it a bit ridiculous?"

What difference did it make if he became a forensic pathologist? It had been decades, and any evidence was long gone.

Mu Yunchu suddenly turned her head to look. The moment she saw his face, her pupils dilated briefly.

"You will know."

Wen Xu: ?

"You will find out what you want to know."

Wen Xu: !

At this moment, it seemed they both understood the message they wanted to convey from each other’s eyes.

And what shocked Wen Xu even more was that with just a few words, Mu Yunchu already knew his true purpose here.

...

Although both Mu Yunchu and Wen Xu came here with things to do, compared to the former, the latter was more about waiting for someone else’s instructions before taking action.

For example, when his second uncle said it was time for the two to compete in some aspect, that was when he’d get busy. Mostly, he existed as a part of this family.

But Mu Yunchu was different.

When she came, she mentioned the place had feng shui issues. After a brief rest, she needed to start ’working.’

This matter arose the next day when they were having breakfast together.

The villa, just for the ’owners’ residence, had five floors.

Mu Yunchu, Wen Xu, and Pei Jingxiao all stayed in the guest rooms on the second floor.

His second and third uncles and their respective wives resided on the third floor.

But at least for breakfast, everyone had to eat together.

Pei Jingxiao, who never liked getting up early, set seven or eight alarms the previous night to barely wake up.

The moment he opened his eyes and saw Wen Xu and Mu Yunchu walking side by side in the hallway, he felt the sky was falling.

Two questions immediately popped into his mind.

Aren’t they tired?

Could they possibly be dating?
