Lin Yulan's first impression of Mu Shiming was that he was a powerful man who had never suffered hardship.
So she didn't understand why such a person would feel that he had something to talk about with her.
It was not until her daughter told her after they separated that she realized that the reason she felt she could chat with this man who was obviously a child of destiny was because he had always been trying to be compatible with her.
He has seen more of the world than me; he has understood more than me; he has broader knowledge than me.
As long as he wanted to, he could make it so that he didn't find himself taking care of himself, but just chatted normally.
Lin Yulan knew that she was not particularly smart sometimes, otherwise she would not have been so blind as to marry a scumbag with bad intentions, and ended up being hurt so badly by him.
Lin Yulan knew that Mu Shiming was a good person, but she never thought about how she could be involved with him. After all, it was obvious that they were not from the same world.
So when Mu Shiming said he liked her, Lin Yulan's first reaction was whether she was drunk?
Or maybe Mu Shiming was drunk himself, otherwise why would he talk drunkenly in broad daylight?
Or was he making fun of himself?
Many thoughts flashed through Lin Yulan's mind at that time, but none of them was that Mu Shiming really liked her.
Not to mention, after experiencing such a short but deceitful marriage, Lin Yulan had long been disappointed with marriage and didn't want to get married anymore.
And she has a daughter!
Her adoptive father did not remarry for her sake, and she also did not want to remarry. What if the family after remarriage was not good to her daughter?
Having finally escaped from one shackle, Lin Yulan didn't want to put another one on her head.
So when Mu Shiming brought up the question again about whether there was a chance for them to date, Lin Yulan directly refused.
"If you like the food I cook, I think the way we get along now is pretty good."
Since Mu Shiming started ordering food from his own restaurant, his three meals a day were basically taken care of by Lin Yulan.
Yes, Lin Yulan thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that the reason why Mu Shiming liked her might be because the food she cooked was very much to Mu Shiming's taste.
There’s an old saying that goes, if you want to capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach.
Maybe it was because she had captured Mu Shiming's stomach that Mu Shiming wanted to be with her again and again. Otherwise, she really couldn't understand why Mu Shiming, who was in a high position and had been a favored child since childhood, would fall in love with her, a cook who only knew how to cook.
She remembered that when she told Mu Shiming the reason why he wanted to be with her, Mu Shiming was overjoyed.
"I admit that a small part of the reason I like you is because your cooking is so delicious; but the more important point is that I feel comfortable, relaxed, and at ease with you."
This was something he had never felt in the past few decades.
Nowadays, in addition to pursuing power, he wants more of a relaxed environment and atmosphere, but his work, his existing family and interpersonal relationships cannot give him that.
It was rare that he felt this from a woman he had only met once.
Mu Shiming has had extremely high emotional intelligence and EQ since he was a child. As long as he wants others to like him, few people will dislike him.
But Lin Yulan didn’t. She didn’t like herself, nor did she hate herself, because she was not important to her at all.
When Mu Shiming confessed his love for the first time, he thought it wouldn't take long for Lin Yulan to agree to be with him, but he didn't expect that it would take them nearly ten years to establish this relationship.
Lin Yulan did not expect that Mu Shiming would be so obsessed with her.
From the time he and his daughter opened a restaurant and a factory in Pengcheng, to the time he reunited with his relatives and even accompanied his daughter to the imperial capital, Mu Shiming never gave up his feelings for her.
Both her daughter and mother said that it would be difficult for someone like Mu Shiming, who grew up in an environment of intrigue and deception, to be sincere to someone.
Lin Yulan felt that what they said might be right, but the Mu Shiming she saw was not the scheming person they described.
In other words, Mu Shiming did not use his scheming on himself.
However, since Lin Yulan learned that her ex-husband Su Zhiping was a sinister villain, she no longer trusted her own judgment.
Even though she knew that she did have some different feelings for Mu Shiming, she still felt that Mu Shiming was not a good man when she thought about the instructions of Su Jianwei and Rong Wanting.
Lin Yulan always knew that she was not smart. In order not to drag down her daughter and her mother, she chose to listen to them.
Lin Yulan's obedience made Mu Shiming, who had been trying silently to make Lin Yulan see his true feelings, very frustrated.
After helping Lin Yulan escape from another man who wanted to be a hero and save the beauty, Mu Shiming looked at Lin Yulan, who was becoming more and more beautiful and generous on the outside, but still simple and innocent on the inside, and said: "Before I wanted to pursue you, I didn't know you were the daughter of Mr. Zhou and Aunt Rong."
Lin Yulan nodded, "I know."
"All I wanted from the beginning was you."
Lin Yulan sat aside uncomfortably, not wanting to listen to Mu Shiming's overly explicit words.
They are so old, it's really strange for them to talk about love like young people.
Mu Shiming was used to Lin Yulan's retreat, and he knew that if he didn't attack directly, she would be cowardly and pretend that she didn't know.
"I pursued you with the intention of getting married."
"I don't want to get married." Lin Yulan refused without hesitation.
It’s enough to get married once, and she feels that her life is pretty good now.
