Chapter 1453: Chapter 1443: Suspicion

Mu Yan saw that it was already twelve o’clock, and since it was rare to meet with Ning Shishen, she agreed.

The location was chosen by Ning Shishen, his car was nearby, making it very convenient to get there.

After shopping all morning, Mu Yan was a bit tired, sitting in the car, feeling listless.

However, Ning Shishen and Kong Lizhen were having an animated conversation, chatting all the way.

Mu Yan hadn’t noticed before that Kong Lizhen actually had quite a few insights into economic development, even a talented young man like Ning Shishen listened attentively.

But now she was too sleepy to care about these things.

By the time they reached the destination, Mu Yan was almost asleep.

Kong Lizhen looked at her and asked, "Didn’t you sleep well last night?"

"No, I slept quite well," Mu Yan said.

She was puzzled, wondering why she had been feeling so sleepy lately.

Kong Lizhen knew she was in a bad mood yesterday, so she assumed she didn’t sleep well.

"Let’s go, let’s have lunch first, and then go back to the hotel to sleep," she said.

Mu Yan got out of the car and followed Ning Shishen to the elevator.

The rooftop restaurant was elegantly set up, and since it was a weekday, it wasn’t crowded.

Ning Shishen was clearly a regular there, as the restaurant manager personally greeted them and led them to a private room.

When it was time to order, Ning Shishen hadn’t picked anything yet, but Kong Lizhen already took the menu and started ordering dishes for the waiter, all of which were Mu Yan’s favorites.

Ning Shishen couldn’t help but glance at her, having long harbored doubts about Mu Yan’s fondness for these dishes, a curiosity that grew even more now.

To be able to take care of someone’s daily habits so attentively, even one’s own mother might not go to such lengths.

"I’ll just order these few, the rest is up to you, Shishen," Kong Lizhen said to Ning Shishen.

"Okay," Ning Shishen nodded, continuing to order dishes.

After the waiter left with the menu, Mu Yan suddenly asked Ning Shishen, "Brother Shishen, are you still in touch with that lady from last time?"

Ning Shishen’s eyes flickered, looking at her, and asked, "Why do you ask?"

"Nothing, just a bit curious," Mu Yan said with a smile, "Of course, I also wish to have a celebratory drink soon."

Ning Shishen chuckled, "I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you." ℯℯ𝘭.

"Ah, it’s over, huh," Mu Yan felt a bit regretful.

She glanced at Ning Shishen and quickly said, "But these things can’t be rushed, Brother Shishen, you’re so outstanding, surely you won’t have trouble finding someone."

Ning Shishen sighed and said, "I’ll take your words as a blessing, then."

Kong Lizhen looked at her daughter’s innocent face, feeling a bit helpless, sometimes being simple is also nice.

Mu Yan quickly thought of another matter, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Brother Shishen, how is Ning Ze doing lately?"

"The same as usual, but he’s been going to the company more often lately."

"Oh," Mu Yan responded.

Ning Shishen glanced at her and said, "I have to thank your friend, if it weren’t for her, Ning Ze might not have learned to grow up."

"But the cost of growing up is too high," Mu Yan seemed to muse.

"That’s their issue to resolve."

Mu Yan thought about asking him to persuade his mom some more, but then felt it might not be appropriate.

She always believed that Ning Ze and Qin Xi broke up because Ning Ze’s mother didn’t agree, and Qin Xi was too strong-willed to compromise.

After lunch, Ning Shishen drove Kong Lizhen and Mu Yan back to the hotel.

When they were getting out of the car, Kong Lizhen’s scarf suddenly slipped, and Ning Shishen noticed the burn scar on her neck and quickly averted his gaze.

"Brother Shishen, goodbye," Mu Yan closed the car door, waving to him.

"Hmm, goodbye," he replied.

Ning Shishen watched them enter the hotel, then got back in the car and made a call to a friend, speaking in fluent Italian.

"Did you find out about the person I asked you to look into last time?"

"Yes, the last name is Kong in Chinese, a female, in her forties or fifties."
