Of course, Shen Lanxin didn't feel like she was being "empty-hearted," but she was a little annoyed that she hadn't received a response to the "cheers to the rich lady" emoji she sent.
Sitting in her office chair, Shen Lanxin was unusually distracted while working.
Is he asleep?
I checked the time; it was only ten o'clock.
Shen Lanxin shook her head; she usually didn't finish work until after midnight.
Did he go to take a shower?
Shen Lanxin shook her head again.
His sweat smells sweet; he doesn't need to take a bath.
Why would that be?
Shen Lanxin, who couldn't figure it out no matter what, heard her phone ring again.
"Ring ring ring".
Upon seeing the note, Shen Lanxin immediately hung up and put down her phone, pinching the bridge of her nose.
Shen Lanxin hadn't been able to contact Mu Liuyun for the past two days, mainly because of a phone call from her mother, Zhang Chunfang, during the concert a few days ago.
Zhang Chunfang urged her to go home on the phone, saying she had something important to discuss. Shen Lanxin had planned to talk to Mu Liuyun after the concert, but when she returned to the venue, Mu Liuyun was nowhere to be found.
She had initially thought Mu Liuyun was angry because of her leaving, but thankfully she received a text message in time, which put her mind at ease, and she chose to listen to the concert alone.
That evening, Shen Lanxin planned to go home and talk to her mother before texting Mu Liuyun, but what happened after she got home ruined her mood.
Upon arriving at her father Shen Lihong's villa, Zhang Chunfang confronted her with a dark expression, asking, "Why haven't you been with Xiao Nan these past few days? He's been calling me crying about it."
Zhang Chunfang's words made Shen Lanxin frown: "Gu Nan and I are over."
That's right. Gu Nan's actions back then wronged Shen Lanxin, and the engagement was canceled on the spot. There was no reason for Shen Lanxin to continue being with Gu Nan. If Zhang Chunfang hadn't always told Shen Lanxin that Gu Nan had his reasons for going abroad and how much he missed her while he was overseas, she would never have seen Gu Nan again.
Shen Lanxin had assumed that Zhang Chunfang would let the matter drop after she expressed her thoughts. But to her surprise, Zhang Chunfang became agitated: "What are you saying? Xiao Nan has sacrificed so much for you, and you still want to abandon him!"
"Let me tell you, your dad has already made it clear that your husband can only be Xiao Nan!"
Zhang Chunfang's words struck Shen Lanxin as odd. She ignored them and turned to leave her father's villa.
Shen Lanxin's biological mother passed away the year after she was born, while Zhang Chunfang married Shen Lihong when she was four years old, becoming Shen Lanxin's mother.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhang Chunfang treated Shen Lanxin like her own daughter. She even had no choice but to have a child of her own for Shen Lanxin's sake, saying that she was afraid Shen Lanxin would overthink things.
Basically, Zhang Chunfang would let Shen Lanxin have her way in everything. But the only thing that happened was Gu Nan, where Zhang Chunfang was unusually firm. In fact, it was Zhang Chunfang who orchestrated the marriage between the Gu and Shen families back then.
Shen Lanxin couldn't figure out the reason behind it, so she could only focus her attention back on her work and start looking forward to Friday's trip.
"What clothes should I wear this time?"
...
...
The next morning at seven o'clock, Mu Liuyun woke up in bed and, apart from the familiar orange scent on her body, did not see Mu Xiaoxi.
"I guess they'll be working from 8 a.m.
Because he was woken up by Old Man Mu yesterday, Mu Liuyun got up very early today. He didn't want to wear that women's clothing to work again.
After washing up, he took out a suit he had bought when he first entered university from the closet, changed into it, and then left the room.
"Oh, don't worry, leave it to me. Xiao Chu, let me tell you something."
As soon as I stepped out of the room, I saw Old Man Mu sitting at the dining table, munching on some fried dough sticks he didn't know where they came from, while making a phone call.
Seeing Mu Liuyun come out, even though he was talking about things related to Mu Liuyun, Old Man Mu didn't lower his voice: "Hey, that kid has never had a girlfriend, let alone friends!"
Mu Liuyun rolled her eyes at Old Man Mu and deliberately spoke loudly, "I'm going to work!"
Old Man Mu waved his hand impatiently: "What? That's a good idea. Meet tonight? Sure, sure, but don't go to any fancy places, I can't afford it!"
Only after closing the door did Mu Liuyun finally hear Old Man Mu's voice. Although she didn't know what Old Man Mu was saying, Mu Liuyun was certain it wasn't anything good.
"Never mind, I'll go to work first."
After straightening her clothes, Mu Liuyun lifted her leg to leave, only to see an elderly woman standing at the door of the next room.
"Good morning, Aunt Wang."
Aunt Wang is the landlord here; Mu Liuyun bought her house from her.
Upon seeing Mu Liuyun, Aunt Wang waved, then looked at the house where Sister Wang used to live with a relieved expression, her eyes glistening with tears.
"Xiao Wang has finally left."
"yes."
Mu Liuyun responded.
The fact that Aunt Wang was here meant that Sister Wang had already left. Because they shared the same surname, Aunt Wang had always been very kind to Sister Wang, never raising the rent by a single penny for four whole years, and even frequently waiving her utility bills.
Mu Liuyun knew that Aunt Wang didn't want to see Sister Wang continue down a downward spiral, which was why she helped her. Now that Sister Wang was gone, Aunt Wang must feel both happy and sad.
"Sister Wang will get better and better."
Hearing Mu Liuyun's words, Aunt Wang smiled and nodded, then wiped her eyes: "Let's not talk about her anymore. There's a new tenant. She'll probably be able to move in next week. She's also a great beauty. I heard she doesn't have a boyfriend yet. Xiaoyun should try to win her over."
"Huh? So fast?"
Mu Liuyun pretended not to hear what came after that, and was just surprised.
Sister Wang just moved out of this apartment, how come it was rented out again in just one night? When did this run-down Sunshine Garden community become so popular?
"Yes, as soon as Xiao Wang moved out, and as soon as I posted it online, someone rented it immediately. It's really fate."
As she spoke, Aunt Wang glanced at the bus stop outside the residential area, where a bus was approaching from a distance. She quickly pointed downstairs and said, "Xiaoyun, stop chatting with me, hurry up and go to work."
"Finally, I don't have to deliver food anymore, Xiaoyun. You'd better work hard!"
"Aunt Wang, I will!"
After saying that, Mu Liuyun ran all the way to the bus stop and caught the bus she had just seen from upstairs.
Just after eight o'clock, Mu Liuyun arrived at the Chu Family Group.
The employees start work at nine o'clock. At this time, the entrance is bustling with people. Even the Shaxian Snacks are not open yet. Mu Liuyun wanted to go and chat with Brother Xiaoyu for a bit, but she couldn't.
Mu Liuyun coughed twice and walked towards the elevator.
"Hey, look at that child, she's so pretty."
"Besides President Chu, does our company have any other women this beautiful? Women?"
"Why is she dressed as a man, and with short hair? Is she a effeminate man?"
The employees who arrived at the company earliest and those who came to check out the company at the designated time were not the same group at all. They had not seen the scene of Chu Yaqin carrying Mu Liuyun to work yesterday, so they were very surprised by Mu Liuyun's appearance.
Faced with the crowd watching, Mu Liuyun could only smile awkwardly, then pressed herself against the elevator door, trying to avoid their gaze, and waited for the elevator to arrive.
