Mu Anxiao handed the items to Wang Gui without hesitation.
With that, Piao had found someone to help Mu Anxiao, and Mu Anxiao felt relieved.
Afterward, due to his past conflict with Wang Gui, Mu Anxiao deliberately walked beside Piao, with Feng Qishi on Piao’s other side. Feng Qishi’s gaze kept drifting towards Mu Anxiao.
Piao felt Feng Qishi’s gaze and smiled, asking, “Brother Shen, if you’re going to look, why keep staring at me?”
“Who’s looking at you,” Feng Qishi said awkwardly and asked, “Where are we going now?”
“There’s a pastry shop ahead, let’s go there,” Piao replied.
Feng Qishi: “…”
Mu Anxiao asked, “Do you actually have a solution or not?”
Piao said, “Let’s not talk about that yet. I remember you wanted to be a strong woman. You also said you weren’t from above. It seems,” he glanced at Mu Anxiao, “your words are never true.”
Originally, Mu Anxiao had forgotten about the events outside the city. Hearing Piao’s words now made her heart flutter with anxiety.
Feng Qishi immediately sensed Mu Anxiao’s nervousness and deliberately asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Brother Shen,” Piao pursed his lips, “Mu Anxiao is a dishonest person. I don’t want you to be fooled by her.”
Lying was lying, and Mu Anxiao had no intention of explaining.
“…” Mu Anxiao.
Feng Qishi’s lips curved up, “I know that, and you know that too. Why bring it up now?”
Mu Anxiao hadn’t expected Feng Qishi to say such a thing. In that instant, she suddenly felt that Feng Qishi had truly changed.
“Originally, I didn’t want to bring it up either. I was too lazy to bother with her. Who knew that the matter of Wan Sha would come out? If it weren’t for Wan Sha, I wouldn’t have paid her any attention even now.”
From the beginning, Piao had seen that Mu Anxiao was lying. It was because of this that he had stopped interacting with Mu Anxiao after their last conversation. Who knew that now, he was inexplicably involved with her again, which made him feel very unhappy.
However, after meeting Feng Qishi, who was so similar to himself, Piao felt a sense of comfort and decided to let bygones be bygones.
Of course, the reason he brought this up now was purely because of Xi’er.
Listening to Piao’s words, Mu Anxiao also understood Piao’s attitude towards her.
“There’s no point in talking about the past,” Feng Qishi said.
Piao nodded, “You’re right.”
As Piao finished Feng Qishi’s sentence, Mu Anxiao was startled. But because Piao had a bad temper, she didn’t show it and continued to follow them.
Behind them, Wang Gui was exhausted. Looking at the backs of the three of them, he regretted it. He regretted why he had gone to find Mu Anxiao earlier. If he hadn’t caused trouble, he wouldn’t have had to work so hard.
However, the event had already happened, and he knew that regretting it was useless.
Helplessly, Wang Gui had to accept the stares of the surrounding villagers and follow them with his head lowered.
A moment later, the three of them stopped outside the pastry shop.
Wang Gui also stopped behind them, panting and not daring to say a word.
Then, Piao turned to Wang Gui and said, “Hey you, take these things to my residence.”
“Aren’t you already at the mansion?” Mu Anxiao blurted out without thinking.
Piao glared at Mu Anxiao, “What I want to call it has nothing to do with you?”
Mu Anxiao shook her head, “It has nothing to do with me.”
“If it has nothing to do with you, then shut up,” Piao said.
Seeing Piao’s attitude towards Mu Anxiao, Wang Gui felt schadenfreude and said, “Exactly, what does it have to do with you?”
The next second, Piao gave Wang Gui a death glare, “Was I talking to you?”
Hearing this, Wang Gui blinked awkwardly, “No.”
“No? Then go,” Piao waved his hand.
“Yes,” Wang Gui agreed and turned to leave.
Feng Qishi asked, “Does he know where your residence is?”
“He does.”
Piao knew that Wang Gui knew the location of his residence because, some time ago, Wang Gui had gone to Piao for help every day due to his failing business. Although Piao had not helped him in the end.
“Are you planning to take us to your residence later?” Feng Qishi asked again.
Piao glanced at Mu Anxiao, “I can take you, but not her.”
Mu Anxiao thought Piao had forgotten what he had said to her earlier. Hearing him say this now, she felt like she had overestimated herself.
Feng Qishi suddenly said, “Then I won’t go.”
“But all those things were bought for you,” Piao said excitedly.
Feng Qishi replied, “So what if they were bought for me? I don’t want them anymore.”
“You…” Piao looked at Feng Qishi’s refusal, then glanced at Mu Anxiao, and said helplessly, “I can take her too.”
“Okay, let’s go in,” Feng Qishi said, pointing to the pastry shop.
“En,” Piao smiled slightly and stepped over the threshold with Feng Qishi, entering the shop.
Mu Anxiao stood at the door, looking at the backs of Piao and Feng Qishi. She then thought about how Piao had taken care of Feng Qishi along the way and his attitude, giving her a strange illusion.
But she couldn’t describe that feeling.
At the same time, Feng Qishi turned his head to look at Mu Anxiao, who was still standing outside, and frowned, “Mu Fool, come in.”
As soon as Mu Anxiao heard this, she snapped back to attention, replied, “Okay,” and walked in.
When she reached the table, Mu Anxiao hesitated and sat down opposite Feng Qishi.
Piao naturally sat next to Feng Qishi and then picked up the teapot to pour a cup of flower tea for Feng Qishi.
The moment Piao began to show meticulous care for Feng Qishi again, Mu Anxiao frowned.
Seeing Mu Anxiao’s strange expression, Feng Qishi asked, “What’s wrong?”
Since Mu Anxiao had been standing stunned at the door earlier, Feng Qishi had noticed something was off with her. Now, seeing her with this expression, he was puzzled.
Mu Anxiao shook her head.
Then, Feng Qishi picked up his teacup and drank the tea.
Piao said, “What’s the point of hiding things?”
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao dared not conceal anything, “That,” she said, looking directly at Piao’s face and pointing at Feng Qishi, “do you… like him?”
However, the moment Mu Anxiao said this, Feng Qishi choked on his tea. After coughing a few times, he looked up at Mu Anxiao and asked, “What are you talking about?”
Piao glanced at Feng Qishi and said casually, “Yes, I do like Brother Shen quite a bit.”
Feng Qishi’s eyes widened.
Mu Anxiao couldn’t help but smile, “I knew my feeling couldn’t be wrong.”
“What do you mean by that?” Piao asked.
Mu Anxiao completely misunderstood Piao’s liking as something else, saying, “Piao, I never realized before. You have… a preference for men.”
