The Art of Pursuing: The Unyielding Ex-wife-Chapter 123: Thank you for stupidly falling in love with me

She bent down to pick up Bruce and sat on the sofa, casually picking up the remote to turn on the TV.

The TV was on the entertainment news channel, and as soon as it was turned on, the sweet voice of the female anchor suddenly echoed in the living room.

"Actress Chen Siyin posted a photo with supermodel Xia Yuge on Weibo today, with the caption — finally had the chance to work with a great beauty, happy collaboration.

It is reported that Chen Siyin has just been confirmed as the lead actress in Director Chen’s new movie, and after the Weibo post, netizens are speculating whether this suggests Xia Yuge will play the second female lead in the movie?

If Xia Yuge, who is thriving in the modeling world, steps into the film industry, what surprises will she bring us? Let’s wait and see."

Qin Muni curled her lips, picked up the remote, and changed the channel, just as Xu Yisen walked out of the kitchen with a tray.

He placed the tray on the coffee table with a glass of warm water and some sliced fruit on it.

"I heard Xia Yuge is going to star in Director Chen’s new movie?"

"Yeah." Xu Yisen sat down beside Qin Muni.

Qin Muni picked up the glass of water from the tray and tilted her head slightly to take a sip.

The warmth of the water quickly slid down her throat into her stomach, comforting her slightly uneasy stomach due to drinking too much alcohol earlier.

"Yisen, many times I’ve wondered, if I hadn’t forced you to volunteer with me, or if I hadn’t fallen ill and gone to the welfare home with you that day, would the outcome have been different?

Maybe we would now be a loving couple, and maybe Xia Yuge wouldn’t be the famous supermodel she is today."

Qin Muni had regretted countless times, with many "what ifs" popping up in her mind, but she didn’t have a time machine, no matter how much she regretted, time could not be turned back.

"Munni, back then I didn’t like Yu Ge as much as you thought."

He didn’t deny he once had a good impression of the innocent and pure Xia Yuge and had considered dating her.

But all those thoughts gradually died when his mother, Bai Wan Yun, disapproved of Xia Yuge and forbade him from dating her.

Qin Muni subtly curled the corners of her lips, "What about now?"

Her tone was light, making it hard to discern her true attitude, whether she still cared whether Xu Yisen liked Xia Yuge or not.

"Now..." Xu Yisen paused, meeting Qin Muni’s smiling eyes.

Her gaze seemed drunk yet sober, with dazzling stars and moons twinkling in her peach blossom eyes, making everything around fade into insignificance.

His eyes carried a trace of childish seriousness and persistence. He looked at her solemnly, answering word by word with great gravity: "I like you now, very much, very much!"

His voice was clear and gentle, like a fine wine with a mellow texture, making one irresistibly intoxicated.

Qin Muni stared blankly at Xu Yisen, momentarily forgetting to move.

Yet her heart, driven by his words, started to race uncontrollably, faster and faster until she could hardly bear it.

"Yisen."

"Yeah."

Qin Muni lowered her gaze to calm her emotions, then quickly looked up again.

"Thank you for foolishly falling for me." She gently curled her lips, a magnificent and dazzling smile spreading over her lightly made-up face.

She stood up from the sofa, gave Xu Yisen a sidelong glance, then elegantly turned to leave.

When about to leave the living room, she suddenly paused her step, slightly turned her head to look at Xu Yisen, who was still sitting on the sofa.
