Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1953: Chapter 1953: Mirror World (30)

Cheng Mu received a call from Li Huan early in the morning, asking him to go out for a meal. Cheng Mu was in a good mood and agreed.

After hanging up the phone and flipping through his mobile, he suddenly realized he didn’t have Chuzheng’s contact information.

No phone number, no WeChat... nothing at all.

Cheng Mu: "..."

Cheng Mu sighed deeply.

Why hadn’t he thought of this before?

Li Huan scheduled dinner for the evening, and Cheng Mu arrived right on time.

Li Huan was dressed flamboyantly. Upon seeing Cheng Mu, he immediately raised his hand to call him over, making Cheng Mu reluctant to acknowledge the flashy man as his brother.

"Brother Mu, over here!"

Cheng Mu really didn’t want to recognize this brother and exhaled heavily before walking over.

Cheng Mu glanced around, feeling somewhat familiar: "Why did you pick this place?"

"Hey, when you went abroad, the last meal you had was here. Now that you’ve returned, the first meal should also be here. This is what you call coming full circle."

Li Huan spewed some nonsensical reasoning.

Cheng Mu was taken aback: "Is that how you use coming full circle?"

And what’s with calling it the last meal? Learn to talk properly!

Even though Cheng Mu had been abroad for years, Li Huan kept in close touch, maintaining a frequency of one call every three days and a video chat every five.

Several times during Cheng Mu’s meetings, Li Huan would suddenly start a video chat, making the attendees think Cheng Mu had a girlfriend who liked to check up on him.

Li Huan mainly wanted to inquire about the date Cheng Mu mentioned yesterday. After all, over the years, he’d heard quite a bit but never about any dates from Cheng Mu.

This is big gossip!

It can’t be missed!

"Tell me, who did you meet yesterday." Li Huan prompted Cheng Mu with a curious expression.

"Why are you so curious? Do you like me?"

"Pah! You shameless!" Li Huan pointed at Cheng Mu and cursed, "I, an utterly heterosexual man, would like you?"

"Tsk." Cheng Mu responded ambiguously.

Li Huan felt that Cheng Mu had become increasingly roguish over the years, but others said he was mild-mannered, a gentleman of polite demeanor.

Li Huan didn’t see where the beastly gentleness was.

"Hurry up and tell me." Li Huan remembered his focus: "I want to see who’s so captivating that you’d personally make the date."

Cheng Mu was about to speak when his peripheral vision caught something, causing the words to halt and swallow back up.

Cheng Mu’s gaze was obvious enough that Li Huan followed it.

In a booth in that direction, there was a young, beautiful woman. She supported her chin with one hand, sitting with elegance and poise, enveloped in a cool aura.

Like snow in the mountains, cold and proud, sharp and fierce; yet like the deep blue sea, calm and steady, neither arrogant nor desperate.

These are two extreme temperaments, but she blended them exceptionally well.

Li Huan had seen countless women, but a woman with such a presence was a first.

Opposite the woman was another person, seemingly speaking with expressive gestures and an angry face.

The woman was silent throughout, and in the end, she took out a check and some photos and pushed them over.

The excited man suddenly fell silent, hastily covering the photos.

If this scene were flipped so that a man did these things to a woman, it would be a story of a man seeking a woman’s beauty, attempting to force compliance.

But now with the roles reversed, the woman had an air of a domineering CEO.

"Do you know her?" Li Huan spoke curiously, watching Cheng Mu’s avid gaze.

Cheng Mu pulled back his sight, took a sip of red wine, and slowly said, "Weren’t you asking me whose date this was when I came back?"

"Ah... yes, yes."

Li Huan’s focus shifted back.

Cheng Mu glanced over there: "There."

Li Huan’s face instantly blanked.

After a long while, Li Huan realized it, and his gaze darted between Cheng Mu and the woman still locked in standoff: "Brother Mu, you’re not kidding me?"

Cheng Mu did not respond.

The man across finally walked away, furious and pale.

The woman gently took a sip of her coffee, unhurried and controlled.

It was at this moment that Cheng Mu stood up and walked over, bending to give a slight kiss in front of Li Huan’s shocked eyes.

The woman quickly responded, not bothered by the public setting — it was just a shallow touch, and thanks to something obstructing it, no one but Li Huan noticed.

Cheng Mu straightened up, looking sideways at Li Huan, raising an eyebrow.

Li Huan: "..."

What the heck!

Li Huan was now filled with only these two words in his mind.

-

Li Huan sat across from them, his gaze drifting strangely over the two.

Where did Brother Mu find such a treasure?

Why hadn’t he met one?

"Hello, I’m Li Huan."

Cheng Mu seemed somewhat surprised: "You... don’t know her?"

The information she got previously should have come from Li Huan; why wouldn’t he recognize her?

"Should I know her?" Li Huan was even more puzzled. Someone like her, he wouldn’t easily forget.

"Yuk Chuzheng." Chuzheng nodded.

"Why did he..."

Chuzheng concisely explained: "I never interacted with him, I had my people handle it." Besides, Chuzheng suspected Li Huan’s memory might have been reset.

Just as Yu Shi altered the past, everyone’s memories around would change accordingly.

She changed Cheng Mu’s missing time, so actually, Li Huan’s memory had been refreshed.

Cheng Mu understood.

But Li Huan seemed to remember something: "I recall! In high school, Brother Mu, the girl you asked me to investigate was named Yuk Chuzheng!!"

Cheng Mu: "..."

Your memory is darn good.

Chuzheng cast an ambiguous glance at Cheng Mu.

"I didn’t go looking for her." Cheng Mu promptly declared.

He went only that once and never again.

"Brother Mu! You’ve been hiding this for so long!" Li Huan felt deceived, as if he’d put on an act by himself, and finally asked with grievance: "So you’re dating?"

Cheng Mu: "..."

Chuzheng: "..."

Li Huan noticed the awkward atmosphere: "No, what’s with your expressions?"

-

Chuzheng and Cheng Mu met yesterday, but the nature of their relationship was never clarified from start to end.

Thus, when Li Huan asked now, the mood became awkward.

Chuzheng took the initiative: "Cheng Mu, do you mind having a girlfriend?"

Cheng Mu, who was about to speak: "..."

No, can’t you give him a chance?

Reflecting on his memories of this person, she seemed to always be in control; even when asking him, she had actually made her decision.

Under Li Huan’s curious gaze, Cheng Mu smiled and said: "I don’t mind."

Li Huan finally regained his voice: "You’re not dating yet? But you just kissed so naturally!"

Chuzheng confidently: "Now we are."

Li Huan: "..."

Maybe I’m not fully awake today, surely dreaming.

Li Huan’s head tilted, and he directly collapsed on the spot.
