As she finished speaking, Grandma Lu added, "Once Xiao Wu gets into Capital University, we’ll all go to Capital City and visit your Aunt Fang. Let her, the hostess, treat us to a meal."
"Okay." Lin Guixiang nodded her head.
She and Lin Wu accompanied Grandma Lu and Lu Lingli to the lobby downstairs.
The 26th floor.
Mu Baicheng was using a pair of binoculars to appreciate the river view of Qing City.
It was at this moment that he suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the lens of the binoculars.
There was Lin Guixiang, chatting with an old lady downstairs.
Seeing this, Mu Baicheng immediately put down the binoculars and ran quickly toward the door.
Opportunities are for those who are prepared.
He wanted to have a chance encounter with Lin Guixiang in the elevator!
Mu Baicheng stood in the elevator, steadying his breath.
Ding! freeweɓnovel-cøm
The elevator door opened.
With composure, Mu Baicheng walked out of the elevator and went to the one Lin Guixiang usually took, stopping in front of it.
The elevator was conveniently on the first floor at this moment.
Mu Baicheng looked toward the entrance, Lin Guixiang didn’t seem to have arrived yet, so to avoid any mishaps, he walked into the elevator, pressed the button for the 25th floor, then stepped out again. Waiting for the doors to close and the elevator to start moving, he once again pressed the call button.
When the elevator reached the 24th floor, footsteps and Lin Guixiang’s voice could be heard at the entrance of the building.
Mu Baicheng breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed the timing was just perfect.
When Lin Guixiang and Lin Wu reached the elevator, they saw Mu Baicheng standing upright there.
Lin Guixiang greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Mu."
Hearing this, Mu Baicheng turned his head to look at Lin Guixiang, feigning surprise as if he had just noticed her, "Ms. Lin, what a coincidence."
"Indeed a coincidence," Lin Guixiang nodded.
Mu Baicheng’s gaze fell on Lin Wu, "And this is?"
Lin Guixiang then introduced, "This is my daughter, Lin Wu."
After speaking, Lin Guixiang added, "Xiao Wu, this is the Uncle Mu I mentioned to you before, the one I met in Country P."
Lin Guixiang had told Lin Wu about Mu Baicheng.
It was a simple description.
Yet Lin Wu had a deep impression of this previously unmet Uncle Mu because Lin Guixiang rarely mentioned men in front of her.
Mu Baicheng was the first.
Moreover, when Lin Guixiang spoke about Mu Baicheng, her eyes shone brightly.
"Nice to meet you, Uncle Mu," Lin Wu greeted Mu Baicheng openly and with ease.
Looking at Lin Wu’s face, Mu Baicheng was suddenly taken aback, then scratched his head, "Young lady, have we met before?"
Lin Wu felt oddly familiar to him.
As if...
As if they had met somewhere before.
This sense of familiarity was odd, not like the feeling of having met someone recently, but more like recognizing someone from long ago, so much so that even Baicheng found it hard to put into words.
"I don’t think so," said Lin Wu.
Mu Baicheng followed up, "Have you ever been to Country P before?"
Lin Wu shook her head slightly.
"Then what about Capital City?" Mu Baicheng asked again immediately.
Lin Wu still shook her head, "Uncle Mu, the furthest I’ve been from home, apart from my hometown, is Qing City."
"So you’ve never been far away from home?"
"You could say that."
Upon hearing this, a puzzled expression filled Mu Baicheng’s eyes.
Since Lin Wu had never traveled far, it must have been his own feeling that was mistaken.
While they talked, the elevator had arrived at the first floor.
The three of them entered the elevator.
Mu Baicheng first pressed the button for the 28th floor, then for the 26th floor.
Only then did Lin Wu realize that Mu Baicheng was the friend for whom Lin Guixiang had been actively delivering meals...
Although they had only met once, Lin Wu did not dislike Mu Baicheng, and judging by his appearance, he didn’t seem like a heartbreaker.
Therefore, if he was single, Lin Wu fully supported Lin Guixiang being with him.
Although she was yet unaware of Mu Baicheng’s marital status, from what Lin Wu knew of her mother, she would absolutely never deliver meals to a married man, let alone have any ambiguous relationship with him.
Considering this, Lin Wu said cheerfully, "Uncle Mu, come over to have tea at our home when you have time. My mom has been on annual leave recently and isn’t very busy."
As soon as she said this, Lin Guixiang was stunned.
Mu Baicheng was taken aback as well.
Nobody expected Lin Wu to say such a thing.
Ding!
The elevator just happened to reach the 26th floor at that moment.
Mu Baicheng looked at Lin Wu with a hint of excitement, "Sure, thank you, young lady. You and your mom are welcome to have tea at my place too when you have time."
"Uncle Mu, you can just call me Xiao Wu," she said.
Mu Baicheng was pleasantly surprised.
He never expected that Lin Guixiang’s daughter would not only be supportive of her mother dating again but would even take an active role in facilitating it.
In today’s society, such considerate young people were a rarity.
