Chapter 326: Meeting the Little Blind Girl Again

Chapter 326: Meeting the Little Blind Girl Again

The girl's hair fluttered in the wind, her slender body as fragile as paper, seemingly on the verge of falling at any moment.

Yijue’s heart involuntarily ached, and almost instinctively, he wanted to stop the car.

Liu Ling caught a glimpse of Yijue’s expression and movements from the corner of her eye, clenching her hands tightly, her heart pounding in her throat.

He recognized her; is he going to stop?

But just then, a flashy red sports car approached and stopped beside the girl.

Ji Ming quickly got out of the car and supported the girl who was about to fall, anxiously asking, "A Mu, why did you come out alone? Didn’t I say I would pick you up?"

The moment Ji Ming held Yun Mu, her rationality returned instantly.

What was she doing?

Even if it was him, what did it matter? She couldn’t see, but he couldn’t have seen her either. Since he didn’t greet her, it was clear he didn’t want any further involvement with her. What was the point of chasing after him like this?

How embarrassing!

Yun Mu felt a tightness in her chest, but her emotions gradually calmed down.

"I was getting a bit anxious waiting. Let’s go."

Watching her get into Ji Ming’s red sports car and drive off in the opposite direction, Yijue finally looked away, his throat moving up and down.

Liu Ling, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at Yun Mu through the rearview mirror until she disappeared, finally letting out a sigh of relief. She cautiously asked, "Aju, do you know that girl?"

Yijue replied indifferently, "No, I don’t."

Liu Ling clenched her fingers.

Indeed, he had forgotten her.

In his mind, he only remembered Yun Mu as his former wife, who was ugly and crude, and he couldn’t possibly recall how extraordinary she once was or the love he once had for her.

What was she worried about?

"You’ve just returned to the Xuanyuan family, so you must be very busy. From now on, focus on your work and don’t worry about picking me up or dropping me off for school."

Yijue collected his thoughts and nodded, "Alright, whenever you have time, feel free to visit me at Ruoshui Garden."

"Okay." Liu Ling smiled obediently.

The car fell silent for a moment, and then Liu Ling gathered her courage and asked, "Aju, do you have time to come over for dinner at my place? My uncle... no, my parents want to meet you."

"I’m busy tonight; I already have plans," Yijue said coldly.

Liu Ling’s eyes showed disappointment, "Alright, we can do it another time."

After dropping Liu Ling off at the Liu residence, Yijue drove directly to the most bustling bar in South City and entered the VIP room.

...

Meanwhile, Yun Mu never expected that Ji Ming would bring her to a bar.

"What am I, a blind person, doing here at a bar?"

Ji Ming hurriedly grabbed Yun Mu, who was about to turn and leave, "I need your help, please."

"Help with what?"

"My mother is forcing me to go on a blind date. Pretend to be my girlfriend..."

"Are you crazy?"

Yun Mu pulled her hand away and turned to leave, but Ji Ming wouldn’t let her go, and they started tugging in the hallway.

"Ji Young Master?"

At that moment, a fashionably dressed woman with exquisite makeup walked in.

She glanced at the two of them tugging and frowned, "You invited me to a bar for a blind date, yet you’re messing around with someone else? Did you invite two people at the same time?"

Ji Ming was taken aback, then pulled Yun Mu into his arms, "Yes! You know I, Ji Ming, am a playboy. So what if I’m dating two women at once?"

The woman’s eyebrows furrowed, "Ji Ming, you and your family are despicable! Although our Gong family isn’t as prestigious as yours, we aren’t to be trifled with! How dare you humiliate me! Just wait!"

With that, the woman stomped away in her high heels.

Yun Mu was stunned and pushed Ji Ming away.

"Are you insane? The Gong family is the largest arms dealer in the Southern Continent, and their status matches yours perfectly. Are you out of your mind?" she yelled at him.

Ji Ming, "Perfect match! Then why aren’t you a perfect match for me?"

"There’s no way our relationship could develop the way you want!" Yun Mu sighed in exasperation.

"How do you know if you don’t try? You’re still hung up on that guy, aren’t you?"

Yun Mu’s anger flared, "Enough, I don’t want to argue with you here. I’m leaving."

"Mention him, and you get angry." Ji Ming watched her back and couldn’t help reminding her, "You’re going the wrong way!"

"Mind your own business! Don’t follow me!"

"If you don’t want me to follow, I won’t!"

Ji Ming turned away in a huff.

After all, this bar was his territory, and no one dared to do anything to her.

Yun Mu walked down the corridor recklessly, not getting very far before colliding with a tall and imposing figure. As their bodies drew close, and she caught the familiar scent of the man, Yun Mu's body suddenly stiffened.

It was him!

Yi Jue stood tall in the corridor, one hand in his pocket. The colorful lights of the corridor illuminated his handsome face, and his black attire exuded an aura of noble majesty, making him incredibly attractive.

Yun Mu's breathing halted, and she stood still, unsure how to speak.

Yi Jue remained silent as well.

Today was the third time he had seen this blind girl. Now, up close, her flawless skin and beautiful fox-like eyes, though unfocused, were stunningly beautiful.

Unfortunately, she wore a veil, obscuring her features.

"What is your relationship with Ji Ming?" Yi Jue asked in a deep voice.

Yun Mu's long lashes fluttered slightly, momentarily confused by his question.

Yi Jue watched the girl's eyes dart back and forth, her brows furrowing and relaxing, her lashes fluttering. He felt a gentle scratch at his heart.

It was an itchy, tingling sensation, tinged with a touch of bitterness.

"Is it hard to say?" he asked softly again.

Yun Mu took a deep breath and spoke curtly, "There's nothing hard to say. I've always been a life-or-death friend with him, and our relationship is perfectly clear."

Life-or-death friends?

"If you're willing to entrust each other with your lives, that's not exactly a clear relationship!" A strange anger rose within Yi Jue, and his tone became harsher. "I saw you get into his car several times today; what else could you be if not lovers?"

Indeed!

The person she encountered at South City University today was him.

But since he pretended not to know her then and let her be teased by those boys, why bother with her now?

Yun Mu sneered, "Yi Jue, I have nothing to do with you anymore. Who I get into a car with or who my lover is isn't any of your business! If you have the leisure, worry more about your girlfriend!"

"You know me?" Yi Jue frowned.

Yun Mu was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Yi Jue's sharp brows furrowed deeper, and he grabbed her wrist, "Did we know each other before?"

Yun Mu stumbled as he pulled her, falling into his arms once again.

Just then, Ji Ming's angry shout came from behind, "Yi Jue! Let go of Ah Mu!"

Immediately, Ji Ming pulled Yun Mu behind him and glared fiercely at Yi Jue, "I warned you to stay away from Ah Mu! If I see you bothering her again, I won't let you off!"

"Let's go!"

With that, Ji Ming took Yun Mu's hand and led her out of the bar.
