Mu Xiaocheng ate a very big meal that night.
After all, she lost so much blood in the afternoon, she needed to replenish it.
After eating, I was so full that I couldn't fall asleep at all.
Ji Huaishen's room was right next to hers, but it seemed he hadn't gone back to his room yet and was working in his study.
Mu Xiaocheng put on a thick down jacket and decided to go for a walk to digest her food.
But as soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Ji Huaishen coming towards her.
He stood tall and straight, his handsome and aloof face looking somewhat tired.
Upon seeing her, his eyes flashed, and he quickened his pace.
"Where are you going so late?"
His voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of languor from work.
Mu Xiaocheng pursed her lips and tucked her hands into the sleeves of her down jacket. It was a little cowardly, but it kept her warm.
"I'm too full, I want to go for a walk to digest."
After saying that, she prepared to walk right past Ji Huaishen.
To everyone's surprise, Boss Ji turned around and made a move to leave with her.
"Let's go, I also want to... digest my food."
Mu Xiaocheng frowned slightly. Ji Huaishen hadn't eaten much tonight, and he'd worked so long. Did he need to digest his food?
"Weren't you going out for a walk? What are you standing there for?"
Ji Huaishen turned his head and looked at her standing there, a smile in his eyes.
"Oh," Mu Xiaocheng replied and followed.
Mu Xiaocheng is actually a very lively person.
When she was with Shen Yiming and Chi Yan, she was very lively and a tomboy who didn't care about details.
But... in front of Ji Huaishen, she felt particularly pretentious and awkward.
Just like now.
It's already January, deep winter. Although the back garden of Langming Garden is maintained by people, some trees and flowers have withered and died.
A cool, cold wind was blowing, chilly and shivering; in a word, it was cold.
Mu Xiaocheng wrapped her down jacket tighter and followed slowly behind Ji Huaishen.
Under the bright streetlights, the two people's shadows were stretched very long.
Suddenly, Ji Huaishen, who was walking in front of Mu Xiaocheng, stopped.
Fortunately, Mu Xiaocheng braked in time and didn't crash into it; otherwise, her nose would have been seriously damaged.
Ji Huaishen stared at her with his deep, dark eyes, and asked as if very seriously, "Do you like this garden?"
Mu Xiaocheng looked around. There were flowers and plants everywhere, and although some were withered, they all looked pretty good.
but……
"It's nice, but I think it would be even better if there were more pretty flowers, like irises or tulips..."
A backyard garden should be colorful and vibrant to be beautiful.
"Hmm," Ji Huaishen responded indifferently, his expression unchanged.
Suddenly, he walked closer to her, his gaze lingering on her nose.
"Does it still hurt?"
Mu Xiaocheng knew, of course, that he was asking about her nose.
It doesn't hurt much anymore, but it still hurts a little.
It's throbbing slightly, and she doesn't dare rub it yet.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Fine, to make him feel less guilty, she decided to take pity on him and tell a white lie.
Seeing how nervous he was, she felt quite guilty.
When Ji Huaishen heard her say that, his worried expression lessened considerably.
After a moment, he parted his thin lips slightly and said calmly, "I'll have Shang Qi accompany you to tomorrow's charity gala."
"Huh?"
Mu Xiaocheng blinked, indicating her confusion.
Ji Huaishen patiently explained, "Fool, do you think anyone can get in just by having an invitation?"
