Mu Xiaocheng stared at the man walking towards her, completely mesmerized and unable to look away.
Ji Huaishen.
It truly is the best of the best.
I never expected that even holding an umbrella would look so good.
She stared at him blankly until he came up to her.
"Mr. Ji, what a coincidence."
Mu Xiaocheng came to her senses and looked up at the handsome and noble man in front of her.
Ji Huaishen didn't speak, but simply nodded, closed his umbrella, and stood beside her.
Mu Xiaocheng felt as if the air around her suddenly became thin, and even her breathing became rapid.
A moment later, he turned his head and looked at the girl beside him.
"Miss Mu, were you planning to just run through in the rain?"
His voice is captivatingly magnetic, mellow, and pleasant to the ear.
His tone carried a hint of teasing.
When he asked her that question, Mu Xiaocheng actually felt a little nervous, just like a student who had made a mistake and was caught by the teacher.
She smiled, her fair and delicate face looking exceptionally pretty and adorable.
"It's just a short distance, and the rain isn't heavy."
The words had barely left her mouth when Mu Xiaocheng realized what she meant.
Depend on!
The way she was saying this made it sound like she was explaining something to Ji Huaishen.
There's no need for that.
Her soft, sweet voice made him lose his composure. Looking at her pretty face, Ji Huaishen's gaze darkened.
"It seems that Miss Mu's cold has recovered."
These words were spoken in a plain and simple manner, but to Mu Xiaocheng, they made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
Why does it feel like he's lecturing her?
She couldn't argue back, so she could only give a silly, dry laugh.
Where is Mr. Ji headed?
Mu Xiaocheng raised an eyebrow and asked, feeling awkward if she didn't say something.
Ji Huaishen smiled faintly, his dark eyes deep and unwavering.
"I was running some errands across the street when I saw a young girl trying to run into the rain. I wasn't sure if it was you, so I came over to check."
Well.
Mu Xiaocheng could only smile; she didn't know what else to say.
Little girl?
She doesn't look that young.
Thinking about it, Mu Xiaocheng looked down at her chest...
Her adorable actions happened to catch Ji Huaishen's eye, and a smile flickered in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
Suddenly, he spoke up: "Miss Mu, you haven't forgotten about meeting my parents tomorrow, have you?"
"Mmm." Mu Xiaocheng nodded. Of course she wouldn't forget something so important.
She's not stupid.
"I forgot to tell you before, my parents, they might ask you some questions."
Ji Huaishen spoke slowly, his tone sounding somewhat anxious, but his expression remained calm.
"Huh?! What questions will they ask me?"
This was Mu Xiaocheng's first time meeting "parents," and she had no experience. Moreover, the other party was Ji Huaishen's parents, elders of a large family, who were not easy to deal with.
Although she had spent a lot of time with Actor Shen and knew a little about acting, she might not be able to answer those tricky questions.
Ji Huaishen seemed quite satisfied with her reaction. He said slowly, "How about this, let's find a place to have a good talk. I'm a little hungry too."
He shouldn't have said anything, because once he did, Mu Xiaocheng realized she was hungry too.
It's already 6 PM, time for dinner.
Before Mu Xiaocheng could answer, Ji Huaishen's deep and pleasant voice rang out once again.
"I heard there's a hot pot restaurant on that street ahead called Fresh Flame Charcoal Hot Pot. I heard it's pretty good, Miss Mu..."
"Okay, let's go to that one."
Before Ji Huaishen could finish speaking, Mu Xiaocheng interrupted him.
That restaurant's hot pot is her favorite; the taste is super authentic.
Ji Huaishen glanced at Mu Xiaocheng, whose face was full of excitement, then lowered his eyes, his eyes filled with a doting smile.
She really does like it.
