"Shen Lanxin, why did she come to my house?"
After going to the amusement park together the day before yesterday, the two barely communicated, exchanging only a few emojis commonly used by middle-aged and elderly people on a messaging app.
Shen Lanxin's recent actions towards him, as well as her attitude towards him, had already been quite strange.
Especially when they were supposed to address each other as Lan Xin and Xiao Yun that day, Mu Liuyun even wondered if this icy female CEO had been possessed.
How could those cold little lips utter such warm words?
Seeing Shen Lanxin in her home now felt even more surreal to Mu Liuyun.
Do they want to continue the old contract? What about Gu Nan? Can he accept that?
With many questions in mind, Mu Liuyun pressed herself as close to the door as possible, trying to hear more clearly.
He suddenly regretted why he had considered safety issues and installed such a soundproof door back then.
Inside the room, Old Man Mu looked straight ahead at Shen Lanxin, who was sitting with her legs crossed, but his brows were slightly furrowed.
"Young lady, you're saying you were Xiaoyun's former boss?"
Perhaps it was because Shen Lanxin's aura was too strong, but even the old man Mu, sitting on the sofa, spoke with some restraint.
Old Man Mu was already preparing to go to Chu Tianxing's house to discuss going abroad with him.
Anyway, he's already quite old, so there's nothing he absolutely needs to bring. He even gave his only important possession, the pocket watch, to Mu Liuyun.
But then the girl in front of me suddenly showed up and said she knew Mu Liuyun.
Old Man Mu always paid close attention to matters related to Mu Liuyun.
In his view, although Mu Liuyun is much more mature than many of her peers, she needs more care from others.
Faced with Old Man Mu's question, Shen Lanxin shook her head.
"Huh? Didn't you say that Xiaoyun used to work for you?"
“He did work for me, but our relationship was not that of boss and employee, but a much closer one.”
Shen Lanxin, who is usually indifferent, became more talkative when she was with Old Man Mu.
It was as if, even though it was their first meeting, she was already certain that the person in front of her was her grandfather.
"Oh, I see."
The shrewd old man Mu keenly grasped the meaning of the word "intimacy".
The relationship is not like that of a boss and employee, where you have to work together and be intimate.
He suddenly remembered a melodramatic TV series he had watched before, in which the female lead was a body double for the male lead.
But he never imagined that there could be another man in the world who looked exactly like his Xiaoyun.
What does that mean? Is the girl in front of you a lesbian, and the woman she likes looks just like Xiaoyun?
This is too surreal.
Suddenly, Old Man Mu, who never admitted to being old, felt that he really was old and couldn't keep up with the times.
"So, young lady, what brings you here today?"
Upon hearing this question, Shen Lanxin's expression became even more serious. She put her legs down and sat up straighter: "Grandpa Mu, I need your help. I like Xiaoyun."
This straightforward confession made even the shrewd old man, Mu, blush. In contrast, Shen Lanxin remained indifferent.
"You mean, you made him work for you because you like Xiaoyun?"
Shen Lanxin nodded: "Of course, I had that feeling the first time I saw Xiaoyun."
Old Man Mu didn't ask how it felt. He always felt that the girl in front of him, like Chu Yatou, might give him a surprising answer.
"Hmm, I see."
Although he was happy to know that many people liked his beloved grandson, Old Man Mu still frowned.
Although Old Man Mu is usually unconventional, he is essentially a rather conservative and traditional person.
As the old saying goes, a woman should not serve two husbands. Since she already has Chu Yaqin, how can she have another one?
This is definitely wrong...
Wait a minute, wasn't his precious grandson a boy?
That's alright then.
Old Man Mu suddenly became excited, and the two tufts of his mustache trembled slightly: "Is that so? Oh, young lady, what's your name again?"
"Shen Lanxin".
"Oh, Miss Shen, let me tell you, it's not easy to win over my grandson."
Hearing this, Shen Lanxin raised an eyebrow. She felt that she and Mu Liuyun were already mutually in love, so what was so complicated about it?
She was here because she heard that Chu Yaqin had rented the house next door and moved in.
Shen Lanxin had originally wanted to rent this place as well, so she had been keeping an eye on the apartment next door for a long time. Just when it finally became available, someone else beat her to it.
At first, Shen Lanxin didn't pay much attention, but it wasn't until she called Chu Yaqin today that she learned that the person who rented the house next door was Chu Yaqin, which made Shen Lanxin feel a sense of crisis.
Although she was confident in her relationship with Mu Liuyun, Shen Lanxin did not trust Chu Yaqin.
In her eyes, Chu Yaqin was the same kind of person as her, who might stop at nothing to achieve certain goals. What if, because of her carelessness, Chu Yaqin first won over Xiaoyun's grandfather and sister, and then forced herself on Xiaoyun, leaving her with no one to turn to for help?
After all, Xiaoyun was so delicate, how could she possibly resist the burly Chu Yaqin?
So after discussing countermeasures against the Liu family with Chu Yaqin, she secretly went to Mu Liuyun's house while arranging what to do, wanting to meet Mu Liuyun's grandfather.
She was lucky; she arrived just before Grandpa Mu left.
“My grandson has always seemed very mature since he was little. When I first found him, he was just a baby, but his eyes were so bright and lively, like a little adult.”
For some reason, Old Man Mu suddenly started talking about Mu Liuyun's childhood. Shen Lanxin felt that it had deviated a bit from the topic, but the content was still something she liked to hear, so she listened very attentively.
"At the time, I thought, 'This kid is so arrogant.' Later I realized that he was actually very mature."
