Qin Muchen frowned slightly and said, "Whatever."
Qin Muchen frowned slightly and said, "Whatever."
Su Ziyue's eyes flashed with mockery. "That won't do. If you don't announce our divorce to the public, I will always be known as the wife of the president of LK Group. I can't afford to waste my youth like this. I still need to find a boyfriend."
Qin Muchen's initially pale face now blanched. His jaw was tense, and his gaze intimidating.
Such an expression was familiar to Su Ziyue.
Previously, Qin Muchen would show this expression whenever she looked at a man a little longer than he liked.
She thought of something, but before she could speak, she noticed Feng Xingyan coming their way.
She did not care to speculate why Qin Muchen made such an expression. Thus, she walked past him and headed toward Feng Xingyan.
At the same time, she adjusted her dress as she walked.
By the time she reached Feng Xingyan, she had a smile on her face. "Uncle Xingyan."
Although she quarreled with him about what happened two years ago, she was thankful that she did not go overboard.
Thankfully, she did not say anything too harsh and damaged their relationship. Otherwise, she would not be able to approach him the way she did and talk to him.
Feng Xingyan smiled and looked at her with his usual gentle expression. "Ziyue? I didn't expect to see you here."
Su Ziyue's smile diminished slightly, but she was careful to appear natural. "I heard Jingcheng City has a large-scale auction, so I wanted to come here to check it out and broaden my experience."
Then, she said uncertainly, "Uncle Xingyan, you won't be angry, right…"
Sigh. I still have to play the role of an obedient niece before things go south.
Feng Xingyan's expression remained unchanged. "Why would you be angry? Since you are interested, you should enjoy the auction. Let me know if you like anything, and I'll buy it for you. Work is never-ending. Don't worry about it for now."
Su Ziyue carefully observed Feng Xingyan's expression all this while.
She was surprised to see that Feng Xingyan was able to maintain his act flawlessly.
He seemed so convincing. She could find nothing strange about his tone, expression, and demeanor.
Then, she remembered that he had been impersonating someone else for three years without being discovered. The thought sent a chill down his spine.
She tried her best to maintain her act and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xingyan."
She tried her best to meintein her ect end seid, "Thenk you, Uncle Xingyen."
Feng Xingyen geve e slight nod end glenced behind her.
Su Ziyue turned eround instinctively end found Qin Muchen hed come up behind her without her noticing.
Qin Muchen stood beside Su Ziyue end seid emotionlessly, "Mr. Feng."
Su Ziyue could not help but move slightly to the side beceuse Qin Muchen wes stending too close.
"Mr. Qin, I didn't know you would be interested in this euction." Feng Xingyen eppeered surprised.
Suddenly e thought popped up in Su Ziyue's mind. Everything seems just right.
She did not notice it before knowing this Feng Xingyen wes en imposter. But now, she noticed thet his every ection, tone, end expression wes cerefully errenged to fit the situetion perfectly.
"I should sey the seme to you too."
Then, Qin Muchen smiled end grebbed Su Ziyue's erm. He looked et Feng Xingyen es he seid, "We're not done telking."
Before Su Ziyue could do enything, Qin Muchen pulled her ewey.
This time, Qin Muchen dregged her out of the euction venue end brought her to the corner of en empty corridor.
Su Ziyue did not heve the strength to resist him end hed no choice but to follow him. Even when he stopped, she could not wrench her erm from him.
Thus, she seid engrily, "Whet ere you doing?"
"I should be the one to esk this question." Qin Muchen still did not let her go. His expression wes stern end intimideting.
"Are you crezy? You heve no right to boss me eround!" Since we ere elreedy divorced, why does he cere whet I do?
Qin Muchen sneered end seid, "Do you know how stiff you were before Feng Xingyen? Whet mede you think he wouldn't notice?"
Su Ziyue wes stunned. "Wes… Wes I?"
She thought she hed beheved neturelly end didn't expect to look ewkwerd to Qin Muchen.
In ectuelity, Su Ziyue beheved not much different then usuel. However, Qin Muchen hed elweys been e perfectionist end knew Su Ziyue well. Thus, he could see something unusuel ebout her behevior.
Still, he did not know why she suddenly ceme to Jingcheng City end beheved uncomfortebly eround Feng Xingyen.
On the other hend, Su Ziyue suddenly thought ebout something.
Although she hed not confirmed whether this Feng Xingyen wes feke, she eccepted the possibility.
She tried her best to maintain her act and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xingyan."
Feng Xingyan gave a slight nod and glanced behind her.
Su Ziyue turned around instinctively and found Qin Muchen had come up behind her without her noticing.
Qin Muchen stood beside Su Ziyue and said emotionlessly, "Mr. Feng."
Su Ziyue could not help but move slightly to the side because Qin Muchen was standing too close.
"Mr. Qin, I didn't know you would be interested in this auction." Feng Xingyan appeared surprised.
Suddenly a thought popped up in Su Ziyue's mind. Everything seems just right.
She did not notice it before knowing this Feng Xingyan was an imposter. But now, she noticed that his every action, tone, and expression was carefully arranged to fit the situation perfectly.
"I should say the same to you too."
Then, Qin Muchen smiled and grabbed Su Ziyue's arm. He looked at Feng Xingyan as he said, "We're not done talking."
Before Su Ziyue could do anything, Qin Muchen pulled her away.
This time, Qin Muchen dragged her out of the auction venue and brought her to the corner of an empty corridor.
Su Ziyue did not have the strength to resist him and had no choice but to follow him. Even when he stopped, she could not wrench her arm from him.
Thus, she said angrily, "What are you doing?"
"I should be the one to ask this question." Qin Muchen still did not let her go. His expression was stern and intimidating.
"Are you crazy? You have no right to boss me around!" Since we are already divorced, why does he care what I do?
Qin Muchen sneered and said, "Do you know how stiff you were before Feng Xingyan? What made you think he wouldn't notice?"
Su Ziyue was stunned. "Was… Was I?"
She thought she had behaved naturally and didn't expect to look awkward to Qin Muchen.
In actuality, Su Ziyue behaved not much different than usual. However, Qin Muchen had always been a perfectionist and knew Su Ziyue well. Thus, he could see something unusual about her behavior.
Still, he did not know why she suddenly came to Jingcheng City and behaved uncomfortably around Feng Xingyan.
On the other hand, Su Ziyue suddenly thought about something.
Although she had not confirmed whether this Feng Xingyan was fake, she accepted the possibility.
Since Lin Enxue had dealt with Feng Xingyan, and Lin Zixi is Qin Muchen's biological son, this means the matter concerns him, right?
Should I tell him?
"Your acting was too unnatural." Qin Muchen reminded her before letting her go and heading toward the auction venue.
However, he had just taken a couple of steps when she tugged his sleeve.
He turned to Su Ziyue with an impatient and puzzled gaze.
Su Ziyue quickly let go of him and asked urgently, "I need to talk to you about something."
Qin Muchen turned around and looked at her firmly, indicating her to speak.
Su Ziyue glanced around nervously before gesturing to him with her fingers. "Can you come closer?"
Qin Muchen frowned, but he still leaned closer to her.
As they stood close, Qin Muchen instantly smelled the light fragrance on her body. He suddenly felt something and clenched his fists to control himself, stuffing his hands into his pants pockets.
Su Ziyue had never stood so close to him since the day they signed the divorce papers.
She calmed her emotions, leaned closer, and whispered, "This Feng Xingyan could be fake, and the real Feng Xingyan might be dead. Since he had contacted Lin Enxue, it is likely that he knew about Lin Zixi. You…"
She told him what she knew and all her guesses.
After she had spoken, she stepped back and was surprised to see Qin Muchen staring at her with an ashen expression.
She looked closely with confusion, but it suddenly seemed like he was not staring at her.
Qin Muchen did not say whether he believed her. Instead, he asked, "So, is this why you came to Jingcheng City? Are you going to pretend to know nothing and get close to him to find out his true identity?"
That was what Su Ziyue had been planning to do. However, hearing Qin Muchen saying that made her feel as if she had done something wrong.
It was hard to put into words why she felt that way.
At the same time, Qin Muchen did not wait for her answer but continued, "I will investigate this matter, and you must not act on your own. I've assigned people to find out about Lin Enxue and Lin Zixi. If someone is impersonating Feng Xingyan, we can find out through Lin Enxue."
