The Female Villain Lost Her Memory After Rebirth-Chapter 230: Extra Story: One Night
Chapter 230
Xu Mo was satisfied with his sister's sensible response. "That's more like it."
Ye Jin held Xu Yan's hand, seemingly whispering something to her. Xu Yan listened attentively, occasionally nodding obediently.
Seeing that neither of them was paying attention to him, Xu Mo turned to Zhao Xinze with a dejected look. "Young girls these days, they forget about their brothers once they have boyfriends."
Zhao Xinze was pouring a drink for Mu Heng when he looked up, surprised. "Really? I think Yan is very well-behaved." He glanced at Xu Yan, "Yan, could you pass me that bottle of wine next to you?"
Xu Yan immediately put down her phone and handed the wine to Zhao Xinze. "Here you go!"
But as soon as she did, she went back to whispering with Ye Jin.
Zhao Xinze waved the bottle at Xu Mo. "See? Yan is so obedient."
Xu Mo frowned and turned to Xu Yan. "Yan, can you pass me that plate of fruit in front of you?"
Without looking up, Xu Yan retorted, "Can't you get it yourself?"
Xu Mo was speechless.
This damned preferential treatment!
He sat between two couples, both whispering to each other.
For the first time, Xu Mo felt the world's malice towards him.
As soon as dinner was over, he quickly grabbed Xu Yan to go home.
Xu Yan was still cheerfully waving to Ye Jin. "Ye Jin, wait for me to make breakfast with you tomorrow morning! I want to bake a cake with you."
Ye Jin wanted to walk her home and took her hand as they headed out. "Alright."
Xu Mo reminded him expressionlessly, "I drove here. You don't need to walk Yan home."
Xu Yan stood on her tiptoes and whispered, "Ye Jin, don't mind my brother. He just loves to make trouble."
Xu Mo's face darkened. "Xu Yan, do you think I can't hear you?"
Suppressing a smile, Ye Jin said seriously, "Okay, Yan, go home with your brother then."
He stood at the entrance of the bar, watching the siblings get into the car. Only after Xu Mo's car disappeared from his sight did he turn back inside.
Zhao Xinze and Mu Heng were each holding a glass of wine. They smiled and called out to Ye Jin, "Did Yan go home?"
Ye Jin nodded. "Yes. You two carry on, I'm going upstairs. When you go up to rest, don't bother locking the bar's front door."
Zhao Xinze glanced outside and chuckled, shaking his head. "This world is really quite magical, isn't it?"
Mu Heng's gaze softened. "Indeed. Who could have imagined?"
Zhao Xinze suddenly said, "Don't you feel like we're very familiar with Yan?"
Mu Heng's long fingers gently caressed his wine glass. "I do. She's quite an adorable young lady."
Zhao Xinze couldn't help but tease, "That's all you can say." He stretched his legs. "I wonder what Mr. Ye's sister was talking about. We haven't done anything to annoy anyone, have we?"
Mu Heng shook his head slightly. "Why think so much? What's meant to come will come. We can't avoid it anyway."
As they were speaking, a man with a cold demeanor walked into the bar. He approached Zhao Xinze's table and tapped on it. "Bartender, a bottle of wine."
Zhao Xinze smiled apologetically. "We're not the owners. The owner has already gone to rest."
The man sneered. "Perfect."
Without saying more, he swiftly formed a claw with his hand and reached for Zhao Xinze's throat.
Mu Heng instinctively raised his hand, deflecting the man's arm with a palm strike. He stood up. "It seems you're not here for a drink after all."
The man pulled out a dagger from his waist. "You don't need to concern yourselves with that. Just die quietly."
Just as he was about to charge at Mu Heng, several sharp knives suddenly flew out from some hidden corner of the bar towards the man.
The man immediately retreated a few steps, his expression turning serious. Before he could attack Mu Heng and the others again, an inexplicable yet terrifying force violently flung him out of the bar.
At that moment, the two parrots leisurely flew out and perched on Mu Heng and Zhao Xinze's shoulders.
"Trash! Trash!"
"Too weak! Too weak!"
The parrots chirped noisily, and the man who had been thrown out didn't dare to enter the bar again.
Mu Heng picked up one of the small knives. "Xinze, I'll go out and have a look. You stay here."
"Don't go out! Don't go out!"
"Don't go out! Don't go out!"
Before he could take two steps, the parrots flew in front of him, fluttering about to prevent Mu Heng from leaving.
Zhao Xinze came to his senses and also stopped Mu Heng. "Let's ask Mr. Ye tomorrow. Don't go out for now."
Mu Heng frowned but ultimately decided not to insist on going out to check.
Upstairs, in Ye Jin's room.
He walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, his expression calm.
Sensing the commotion downstairs, he smirked slightly and casually waved the sleeve of his bathrobe.
At the same time, the man who had been violently thrown at the bar's entrance was about to get up when he suddenly felt his vision go dark and lost consciousness.
That night, some lay awake with their minds elsewhere, while others slept soundly without a care in the world.
Regardless, everyone gathered in the bar's main hall early the next morning.
The man from last night was long gone, and Xu Yan hadn't arrived yet. As soon as Ye Jin came downstairs, he saw Mu Heng and Zhao Xinze sitting there in a daze.
He raised an eyebrow. "Didn't sleep well last night?"
Hearing Ye Jin's voice, Zhao Xinze instantly became alert. "Mr. Ye, do you know about what happened last night?"
Ye Jin walked towards the kitchen nonchalantly. "Yes, don't worry about those things. It's all in the past."
Mu Heng looked confused. "And in the future...?"
Ye Jin rolled up his sleeves. "In the future, no one will bother you again. Actually, it wasn't a big deal. Those people were probably after your boss, but they decided to target you two first."
Reassured by Ye Jin's words, Mu Heng naturally felt at ease. However, he also made up his mind to either learn more about these magical occurrences in the future or stay far away from them.
"Ye Jin! I'm here, I'm here!" Xu Yan bounced in, and upon hearing her voice, the other three men tacitly agreed not to mention last night's events.
Ye Jin stood at the kitchen door and waved to Xu Yan. "Yan, come here. What would you like for breakfast today?"
Xu Yan waved her hand dismissively. "Weren't we supposed to make a cake?" She grinned mischievously. "Ye Jin, come here for a moment."
Ye Jin obligingly bent down to meet her eye level. "What is it?"
Xu Yan grabbed his hand without hesitation and slipped a bracelet onto his wrist. "I made this bracelet myself earlier. Isn't it pretty? I have one too."
She placed her hand next to Ye Jin's, revealing an identical red cord adorning her slender, fair wrist.
Ye Jin smiled tenderly. "What kind of bracelet is this? The red string of fate from the God of Marriage?"
Xu Yan glared at him fiercely. "That's right! And you're not allowed to take it off ever! If you do, I'll bite you!"
Ye Jin cupped Xu Yan's face in his hands and planted a gentle kiss on her lips. "Alright, I promise I won't take it off."
