Chapter 28 The Little Heartless
Jiang Mu hurried to Feng Yizhou's house. He took out the key in a panic and opened the door.
At this moment, a crisp "ding" sound came from another elevator next to him. The sound of the door opening was like a thunderclap, which scared him so much that he shivered all over and the coffee cup in his hand almost fell to the ground.
In a panic, Jiang Mu didn't even have time to button his coat, and he rushed into the room before Feng Yizhou stepped out of the elevator.
Feng Yizhou opened the door with steady steps, and when he looked up he saw Jiang Mu standing in front of the study in a panic.
Jiang Mu's hair became messy due to sweat, with a few strands of hair standing up stubbornly. There were still beads of sweat on his face, and his shirt was also soaked with sweat, sticking tightly to his back.
The coffee is now placed steadily on the desk in the study.
Feng Yizhou looked calm and didn't say anything. He walked straight to the desk and sat down. He elegantly opened the lid of the coffee cup, blew on it gently, and took a sip.
The next second, Jiang Mu's phone suddenly rang with a WeChat notification tone, breaking the brief silence.
He pulled out his phone and saw a friend request on the screen.
"Secretary Jiang, it's me, Nan Zhiyu whom I just met in the elevator!"
Jiang Mu's mouth, which was originally tense due to nervousness, suddenly curled up into an irrepressible smile.
He clicked without hesitation to pass Nan Zhiyu's friend certification.
Then, Nan Zhiyu sent another enthusiastic message: "Brother, Chuchu and I will cook a big meal later, do you want to come down and eat with us? It's my treat!"
Her undisguised enthusiasm can be seen between the lines.
Jiang Mu looked at the message, his fingers dancing briskly on the screen, and quickly replied: "I'll be there when I'm done!"
The corners of his mouth were always raised, and that smile was as shining as the brightest star in the night sky.
For so many years, he has been devoted to his work, always busy around the president, and he has been so busy that he doesn't even have time to have a love relationship.
Unexpectedly, since Secretary Li moved in, I have also had this unexpected luck in love.
"Chu Chu, he agreed, so show us your skills!" Nan Zhiyu came to the kitchen like a happy little bird, and shouted excitedly to Li Ruochu who was washing vegetables at the sink.
"Miss, you just said you would treat us, why are you asking me to show off my skills again?"
She knew Nan Zhiyu's personality too well; he always had a short-lived enthusiasm.
If he meets a more handsome boy one day, Jiang Mu will probably be forgotten in the blink of an eye.
"I can't cook. But from what Jiang Mu said just now, the Mr. Feng you mentioned before is here too?"
Nan Zhiyu blinked and asked curiously, the image of a handsome, wealthy and domineering president instantly emerged in her mind.
"He seems to live upstairs, but I've never been there, so I don't know exactly where he lives."
Li Ruochu shrugged and continued to wash the vegetables with his head down, his movements skillful and neat.
She really didn't care about Feng Yizhou's residence.
"Sister, this is God's will. The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. Without Chen Yubai, you can try Feng Yizhou!" Nan Zhiyu clasped her hands together and said with a look of longing.
In her eyes, Li Ruochu is gentle, kind, beautiful and generous. She is the best woman in the world and deserves all the good things in the world.
If a man like Feng Yizhou could be with Li Ruchu, it would be a match made in heaven.
Li Ruochu smiled helplessly, picked up a washed strawberry from the fruit basket, and gently put it into Nan Zhiyu's mouth: "Baozi, shut up, okay? I'm not in the mood to talk about those things now."
A trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes. Once upon a time, she thought that her love with Shen Yubai would be as solid as a rock and that they could go through life together.
But the reality dealt her a heavy blow, and she ended up with the fate of being alone.
Looking back now, love has become the most untrustworthy thing in her heart.
"You are the type who once bitten by a snake will be afraid of the rope for ten years. You can't deny all men in the world just because Shen Yubai is a scumbag."
As Nan Zhiyu spoke, she reached out and took the bowl of strawberries that Li Ruochu had just washed, which were still covered with crystal water droplets, and steadily placed it in front of herself.
"If you really delay yourself because of Shen Yubai, then you are punishing yourself. It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but there are many two-legged men."
She continued speaking incoherently while chewing a strawberry, her words full of concern and advice for her friend.
Li Ruochu paused for a moment, her eyes still fixed on the vegetable washing sink in front of her.
She did not answer Nan Zhiyu's words. At this moment, she felt mixed emotions and had no idea what would happen in the future.
But at least for now, after experiencing the broken relationship with Shen Yubai, her inner resistance to love is like a solid wall that is difficult to break through.
Seeing that Li Ruchu did not respond, Nan Zhiyu realized that no matter what she said at this moment, it would be difficult to immediately change her friend's mind.
She can only wait for time to slowly heal her inner trauma.
So she took the bowl of strawberries, stood up and walked towards the sofa in the living room.
As soon as she sat down, she couldn't wait to pick up her phone and started chatting with Jiang Mu enthusiastically.
At this time, in Feng Yizhou's study upstairs, Jiang Mu was standing in front of his desk with a bright smile on his face.
His eyes were fixed on the screen of his mobile phone, and his fingers kept sliding across it, as if he was weaving a beautiful dream.
On the screen, Nan Zhiyu's playful and cute words kept popping up, and each one was like a key, opening the door of love deep in Jiang Mu's heart that had not been opened for a long time.
Feng Yizhou was originally concentrating on the documents in his hand, but suddenly he remembered that he had something to tell Jiang Mu, so he called out twice.
However, Jiang Mu, who was immersed in the world of his mobile phone, did not hear the president's call at all. He was still smiling to himself, his fingers flying across the screen.
Seeing that Jiang Mu did not respond, Feng Yizhou couldn't help feeling a little confused. He put down the documents in his hand, slowly stood up, and walked towards Jiang Mu.
"Are you in love?" Feng Yizhou raised his eyebrows slightly, his face full of curiosity.
Jiang Mu was startled by the sudden sound, and his whole body felt like he was electrocuted, and the phone almost slipped from his hand.
He quickly hid his phone behind his back, an embarrassed look on his face, and stammered, "No...no!"
"Then why are you grinning at your phone for so long and can't hear me?"
Feng Yizhou was not fooled by Jiang Mu's answer. He took a step forward, fixed his eyes on Jiang Mu, and asked again.
Jiang Mu smiled awkwardly, his mouth twitching slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally told the truth: "I just met Secretary Li and her friends downstairs, so I added WeChat and asked them to invite me to Secretary Li's house for dinner."
"Did I only call you?" Feng Yizhou frowned slightly, and a hint of imperceptible displeasure flashed in his deep eyes.
Jiang Mu was frightened by the cold voice, but at this moment he could only choose to remain silent.
And this silence, in Feng Yizhou's opinion, is undoubtedly the best answer.
Feng Yizhou's face suddenly turned gloomy.
This heartless guy just pulled out a lock of his hair and thought he was going to let it go?
