Chapter 96

Yuan Rui didn't sleep at all that night. In fact, under such circumstances, it was impossible for her to sleep. Moreover, it was only two hours later that dawn broke, and she was still very alert. On the contrary, Mu Yan, after really sleeping for two hours on the sofa, still looked like he hadn't woken up properly.

The breakfast was brought in by the maid. When she delivered it, Mu Yan asked her to pack a dessert for him. After finishing breakfast, the dessert was also delivered.

When Mu Yan walked out of the room, Chen Jiahui was still sleeping, so Mu Yan didn't disturb him.

Since he was leaving, he had to say goodbye to the host. At that moment, Sun Kaiqing was practicing Tai Chi in the garden. However, upon seeing Mu Yan, he immediately stopped.

"Mr. Mu, did you sleep well last night?"

"Pretty good!" Mu Yan smiled.

Sun Kaiqing walked over and greeted him with a smile, glancing at the girl standing beside Mu Yan.

Although Sun Kaiqing didn't have the ability to identify women by their scent, he immediately understood that Mu Yan hadn't done anything with this girl last night when he saw that Yuan Rui had no problem walking. However, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that this girl was probably not simple if she was still with Mu Yan in the morning.

His few women, Tian Sulan, used to be just a factory worker, but because of her appearance and demeanor, he took her in directly. As a result, her status rose rapidly, and she became known as "Mrs. Sun." Although he had explicitly forbidden anyone from calling her that, it was indeed a case of a swan rising from the ashes.

This girl might also end up like that, so no matter what she was before, she would be even more noble than most of the daughters and noble ladies in Donghai.

"Good, I was afraid of neglecting Mr. Mu!" Sun Kaiqing said with a smile, then glanced intentionally at Yuan Rui beside Mu Yan.

Mu Yan naturally noticed his gaze and smiled, "If this is considered neglect, I really can't understand what wouldn't be considered neglect. By the way, I heard that you and Ruirui had an agreement!"

Hearing Mu Yan call the girl beside him so intimately, Sun Kaiqing immediately smiled, "Mr. Mu, it was done by the staff below. I'm not quite clear about the details, but I will ask about it. Miss, please rest assured!"

By mentioning this, Mu Yan believed that no one would dare to bully Yuan Rui again, otherwise it would be a loss of face for both him and Sun Kaiqing.

"I have some matters to attend to. It's quite far from here to the city center. During the day, it's not like at night; it will take at least an hour to drive back. I'll take my leave now!" Mu Yan said with a smile.

"Please, Mr. Mu, go ahead!"

As Sun Kaiqing spoke, the car Mu Yan had driven over the previous day was already parked nearby by a driver, who then respectfully handed the keys to Mu Yan.

"Ruirui, get in the car!"

Mu Yan called out to Yuan Rui, then got into the car. Yuan Rui naturally sat in the passenger seat.

"By the way, where do you live? Should I take you to school, home, or the hospital?" Mu Yan asked.

"Let's go to school first. It's too early now, and there won't be any doctors even if we go to the hospital!" Yuan Rui said.

Yesterday, Mu Yan had already learned that Yuan Rui was a student at Donghai University. Being able to get into this university, which is second only to the two top universities in the capital, showed that Yuan Rui was a very hardworking and intelligent girl.

When the car arrived at Donghai University, it was already 7:30. There were many people coming and going at the school gate. Yuan Rui didn't want Mu Yan to drive her in, as it would make her feel very awkward, so she asked to get off here.

Mu Yan understood her concerns. After all, she had run out of the dormitory in the middle of the night the previous night, and now being driven back by someone would indeed make people talk.

Mu Yan didn't insist, but after Yuan Rui got out of the car, he asked her to wait a moment. He then gave her his phone number, telling her to contact him if she encountered any difficulties.

After recording Mu Yan's phone number in her old and outdated phone, Yuan Rui watched Mu Yan leave. She felt a sweet sensation in her heart. As long as she had this number, she could find him again. Yuan Rui immediately opened her phone and saved the number.

Just as she was saving the number, a boy ran over and asked directly, "Yuan Rui, who was that person in the car?"

Seeing the boy, who looked quite agitated, Yuan Rui immediately understood that he must have seen her get out of Mu Yan's car. She was a bit flustered and said, "That's my... my cousin!"

"Cousin? When did you have such a rich cousin, Yuan Rui? Don't lie to me! Is that kind of person really your cousin?" The boy, seeing Yuan Rui's hesitant response, immediately shouted, drawing the attention of many people at the school gate.

This kind of situation wasn't the first time it had happened at the school. Originally, they were classmates and boyfriends, but the boy found out that his girlfriend was secretly seeing someone else. Many people looked at the boy with sympathy and sorrow.

At this moment, Yuan Rui also felt many contemptuous gazes. Thinking about how she had indeed sold herself the previous night, she felt a burning sensation on her face.

"Yuan Rui, I thought you were pure, but I never expected you to be this kind of woman. I was wrong about you; you really disgust me!" The boy looked at Yuan Rui, his eyes turning red. In the morning, he had met Yuan Rui's dormitory mate and learned that she had run out in the middle of the night. So he came to the school gate early to see what was going on, but he never expected to see the scene he least wanted to see.

Feeling insulted, Yuan Rui was furious and directly shouted at the boy, "Fan Qian, don't spout nonsense here! And we don't even have a relationship. You... you're just a scoundrel!"

Fan Qian was Yuan Rui's high school classmate. After they both got into Donghai University, Fan Qian started pursuing Yuan Rui. In fact, Yuan Rui had some feelings for Fan Qian, but because of her mother's condition, she couldn't possibly date. She didn't reject Fan Qian, which made him assume he was her boyfriend, even though he knew he wasn't.

Now, Fan Qian's accusations made Yuan Rui, who originally had some feelings for him, realize that he was just a hypocrite. Compared to Mu Yan, he was far inferior.

Thinking of Mu Yan, although they had spent the night together, Yuan Rui couldn't forget him. Although she understood that their social statuses were vastly different and that helping her was just a temporary act of kindness for him, she realized that she might really like that man. But she also understood that it was impossible between them.

Fan Qian was still cursing, but Yuan Rui no longer paid attention to him and walked directly into the school.
