Chapter 2178 Mumu
However, until the meal was almost over, Ruomu did not eat the egg he had passed to him.
Xiao Jun wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and asked her, "Why don't you eat?"
Ruomu quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong, I'm used to saving the best food for last. I heard that this way, life will be bitter before it's sweet, and you won't be poor when you get old."
As she spoke, she picked up the egg.
After hearing this explanation, Xiao Jun's mood improved. "You may not be that old, but you understand a lot of profound principles."
Ruomu said that this was what she heard from the elders, and she would think of this sentence every time she ate, and it gradually became a habit. But now it seems that the old saying still makes some sense. Isn't she suffering first and then enjoying the sweetness?
Xiao Jun raised his eyebrows, grasping the key point in her words, and asked, "Do you think being with me is sweet?"
Ruomu nodded vigorously: "It's like the difference between heaven and earth."
Xiao Jun also laughed. He didn't expect that the life in prison, which he thought was like hell, was like heaven in her eyes.
Is it that he is not satisfied, or is it that she is having too hard a life?
As they talked, the two finished their breakfast.
She didn't waste any food. They both finished the meals they ordered. After eating, she collected their plates and put them in the plate recycling area.
Xiao Jun watched her do all this and thought of the grand banquets he had to attend.
He didn't like talking to people. When he arrived at a banquet, he would often sit in a corner and observe the people around him coldly.
Those elegant ladies and young ladies ate everything like cats, unable to finish more than a few bites. Entire plates of food were then left over and dumped into the trash.
He also rarely saw them clean up their own dishes on their own initiative. They left everything to the waiters. If the waiters were negligent, they would give the waiters a cold look or even lose their temper.
So what does self-cultivation have to do with?
Considering Ruomu's family and the education she received, is her sensible nature innate?
Thinking about this, Xiao Jun found himself becoming more and more interested in this girl and had a better impression of her.
…
After breakfast, the two returned to the apartment together. Xiao Jun changed into a suit and a windbreaker, preparing to take her to the art gallery to sell his ugly bottle.
Ruomu also wore clothes suitable for formal occasions, and personally helped him pack the ugly bottle and held it in his arms.
Seeing how carefully she treated the bottle, Xiao Jun smiled and said, "You don't have to be so careful. You can still sell it even if it's broken."
Ruomu listened to his words and glanced at him cautiously: "What do you want me to do if I lose the bet?"
Xiao Jun then asked, "Do you think I can sell this bottle?"
She thought for a moment and said, "What if I really meet a fool..."
Xiao Jun laughed: "Anyway, you can't regret it."
"I'm just afraid that I can't do what you ask me to do..." she said tentatively.
Xiao Jun took the box containing the ceramic bottle from her hand and said, "I told you it's something you can do."
He paused and looked at her deeply: "Even if you don't know how, I will teach you."
"oh……"
"Let's go, we have to get there early."
…
The art gallery was not far away and the two of them arrived in ten minutes on foot.
The museum was not open yet, but as soon as the security guard saw Xiao Jun, he immediately opened the door for him and respectfully said, "Good morning, Mr. Xiao."
Ruomu knew that this was Xiao Jun's private art gallery, so he was not surprised by the security guard's enthusiasm.
Xiao Jun took her to the lounge area in the lobby, where a young woman in her twenties was already waiting.
The woman was wearing a dark blue business suit and had her hair in a neat bun at the back of her head. She looked very elegant, like a stewardess.
The woman walked forward, and Ruomu noticed the work badge on her chest. She seemed to be a staff member of the art museum.
"Mr. Xiao." The woman bowed slightly and greeted Xiao Jun.
Xiao Jun nodded and said to Ruomu, this is Deputy Director Ye Tong.
Ruomu hurriedly greeted him and said hello, Director Ye.
At the same time, I was secretly impressed by the fact that Miss Ye was already the deputy director at such a young age. She was really amazing.
Then Xiao Jun was heard introducing Ye Tong, "This is my friend Ruomu."
Director Ye Tong looked at Ruomu with a smile, and there was a playful smile in his eyes.
Ruomu couldn't guess what this playful tone meant, but when Young Master Xiao introduced her as a friend, Ruomu felt very happy.
After greeting each other, Xiao Jun handed the bottle to Deputy Director Ye.
Ye Tong took it and said, "We still need a name."
Xiao Jun pondered for a few seconds and looked at Ruomu: "Think of one that's artistic and appropriate."
Ruo Muxin said, "Young Master is really difficult for others. How can such an ugly bottle be artistic and appropriate?"
She pondered for a few seconds, "How about calling it Ugly Bottle?"
After she finished speaking, the young master's face was slightly embarrassed, "Is it that ugly?"
Ruomu nodded silently. If he insisted that this thing was beautiful, he would be acting against his conscience.
He didn't say anything else and said to Ye Tong, "Let's call it this."
Ye Tong smiled and agreed, saying that he would do it right away.
After that, Ye Tong left. Ruomu and Xiao Jun sat in the lobby waiting for the museum to open. During this time, staff brought them coffee and snacks.
Ruomu drank coffee but had no appetite. She looked at everything around her curiously. She had never been to such a place before, and she felt it was new and new, yet very restrained. Even her breathing was very light.
Ten minutes later, the art gallery opened and visitors came in one after another. Ruomu noticed that these people entered with invitation cards and signed in. It can be seen that this exhibition is not open to everyone, but is only open to a small number of invited people.
It is obvious from the way these people dress, their temperament and demeanor that they are not ordinary people. Although their status cannot be seen, they are definitely rich.
Ruomu became more and more curious when he thought that if the ugly bottle could be sold, the fool who would buy it would be among these people.
She was eager to see where the ugly bottles were displayed to see if anyone would actually buy them.
Xiao Jun said, "No rush, let's go after we finish our coffee."
After waiting for about ten more minutes, Ruomu finished his coffee and snacks, and couldn't help but say, "Master Xiao, I want to go and take a look."
Xiao Jun glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost time, let's go."
Then Young Master Xiao took her to an exhibition hall on the first floor.
I saw a circle of people gathered around the booth in the middle of the exhibition hall, pointing at the works on the booth and whispering about something.
Ruomu walked a little closer and saw that the ugly bottle was placed on the exhibition stand. It was placed on a cylindrical platform and covered with clean and bright glass. When the light was on, the whole bottle looked noble and quite intimidating.
Ruomu also saw the name of the work and the author's name: Mumu written in the introduction under the bottle.
She looked at the young master beside her in disbelief.
He gently put his arm around her waist, pulled her closer to him, and whispered in her ear, "It's you, the fool."
Ruomu got goosebumps all over his body and his smile froze.
Xiao Jun looked at her with a smile: "What's wrong?"
"It's a bit corny..."
He chuckled, "Hasn't anyone ever called you that, Mumu?"
