Chapter 188 Are You in Love?
Chu Ci and Qi Fengyao had been chatting for so long, and finally heard Lu Yiran's voice. He smiled and said:
"So you're here! Why haven't you been talking?"
Lu Yiran sneered: "I have to ask you this."
"Ask me? Why ask me? Shouldn't you be thanking me? I spent a fortune this time and used many connections to get so many red diamond roses at once."
"Then do I have to kowtow to you again?" Lu Yiran's voice was dangerous.
"No need to kowtow once. Just let me sit at the head table when you two get married."
The corners of Lu Yiran's mouth twitched.
"You still want to sit at the main table? I'm lucky enough to let you in. Chu Ci, if you act on your own again, I'll destroy you."
An Jiajun and Qi Fengyao were almost going crazy trying to hold back their laughter, and they watched the two people continue to make phone calls with a look of anticipation.
"No, why don't you know how to appreciate kindness?"
Chu Ci's voice suddenly rose an octave, his tone full of grievance.
"Not only did you not thank me for helping you chase someone, you actually wanted to destroy me. Fengyao, Jiajun, stop playing dumb and give me some justice! How could he treat his brothers like this? It's so disheartening."
Chu Ci felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and there was even a hint of sob in his voice.
Qi Fengyao couldn't hold it back any longer and burst out laughing:
"Chu Ci, you're on your own. We really can't help you with what you've done."
"No, what did I do? Why are you all on his side?"
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and his voice suddenly weakened.
"Wait...could it be...Mu Nanyan doesn't like those flowers?"
Lu Yiran snorted coldly: "What do you think?"
An Jiajun, enjoying the fun, quickly added:
"Not only does she dislike him, she also scolded Yiran. Hahahaha, Yiran didn't have much favorability in her eyes to begin with, and after what you did, it went straight to negative!"
The other end of the phone fell into deathly silence. After several seconds, Chu Ci's guilty and disoriented voice came:
"Um... I suddenly remembered I have a meeting to attend, so I'll hang up now!"
Chu Ci was about to hang up the phone when Lu Yiran's threatening voice suddenly reached his ears:
"Why don't you try putting one up? Don't you want that piece of land in the eastern suburbs anymore?"
Chu Ci took a deep breath. That was a project he had been eyeing for half a year. He immediately changed his tone to a flattering one:
"Yiran, I was just kidding. How could I possibly hang up on you? It's just...it's already happened, and I don't have any other options now."
"Go and help me find out what Mu Nanyan likes."
"I only met her once. Where can I go to ask her for you?" Chu Ci complained.
"Mu Nanyan has a close friend who opened a studio in Beijing called Yihe. Go find her, but don't let her know that I asked you to go."
"Is she pretty?"
Chu Ci immediately became interested. Dealing with women was what he was best at.
"I asked you to help me gather information, not to find a woman. Don't think about her." Lu Yiran frowned subconsciously.
"Oh, I know. Don't worry, I won't make things worse for you this time. Leave it to me."
"Um."
Lu Yiran responded indifferently and hung up the phone neatly.
Chu Ci looked at the hung up call, and the corners of his mouth twitched:
"Good fellow, you hung up on me after taking advantage of me. Where's the brotherhood we talked about? There's really no love."
Chu Ci shook his head and began to think about how to approach Mu Nanyan's best friend...

As Mu Nanyan was about to get off work in the afternoon, her cell phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the caller ID and saw Tang Yutong, then picked up the phone.
"Hey, Yutong."
Tang Yutong's voice came from the other end of the phone, trying to lower it but still couldn't hide her excitement.
"Yanyan, am I your bestie?"
Mu Nanyan was stunned by this sudden question: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Tang Yutong's tone suddenly became serious: "Tell me the truth, are you in love?"
"Who told you that I was in love with someone? How come I didn't know it myself?"
"Really didn't talk about it?" Tang Yutong asked suspiciously.
"Really? How could I not tell you that I'm in love?"
"But I saw you received a huge bouquet of roses today. Wasn't it from your boyfriend?"
Mu Nanyan was stunned, and her hand holding the phone tightened. How could Tang Yutong know about this in Beijing?
"How do you know?"
“I just saw it online.”
Mu Nanyan: ...
"I was so busy today that I didn't even check my phone. When did this happen?"
"That video seems to have gone viral this morning, and I just saw it now. Wait a minute, I'll send it to you."
Soon, a message alert sounded.
Mu Nanyan clicked on the link and saw an exaggerated title:
[Love to the extreme! A mysterious tycoon lavished his fortune on 9,999 red diamond roses just to win a beautiful woman's smile], followed by a striking word "explosion".
The video cover attached below is her silhouette standing in front of a sea of roses.
Mu Nanyan quickly glanced at the accompanying text and clicked on the video. Judging from the angle, it should be a scene shot from the perspective of onlookers.
"Did you see it?" Tang Yutong's voice came from the receiver.
"Hmm... this is too exaggerated. How can something like this become a trending topic?"
"Maybe it's just too grand! I used to look at those couples' bloggers, and the most they gave each other for the holidays was 999 roses. You gave 9,999 directly. I guess you hired an entire flower garden. Oh, and you still haven't told me, who sent these flowers?"
Mu Nanyan was silent for a moment before she whispered, "Lu Yiran gave it to me."
"What? Lu Yiran gave it to you? What does he mean? Does he want to pursue you again?"
"I don't know what he meant, but I didn't take the flowers. In the end, passersby took them."
Tang Yutong gasped in surprise from the other end of the phone:
"Those are flowers worth hundreds of thousands of dollars! And you just... gave them away?"
"What else can I do? It's not my money anyway, so I don't feel bad about it. Besides, who knows what Lu Yiran wants to do by sending me flowers? What if he wants to take advantage of Chenchen?"
Tang Yutong nodded repeatedly on the other end of the phone: "Indeed, it's better to cut ties with him."
"Well, is there anything else? If not, I'm about to get off work. I have to take Chenchen to move soon."
"Wait! You need to find someone to suppress this trending search. I just saw someone in the comments section trying to uncover your identity. It'll be troublesome if someone exposes you."
Tang Yutong's words instantly sounded the alarm for Mu Nanyan. The time when she became famous after participating in a competition in China, many fanatical fans surrounded her downstairs of the company. She had already realized the power of netizens at that time. Fortunately, the fans at that time did not have any malicious intentions, and nothing happened later.
But the topic that was on the hot search this time was too sensitive. If they knew about Chenchen's existence, who knows what kind of trouble would happen. She couldn't let those people disturb Chenchen's life.
Thinking of this, Mu Nanyan quickly said to the phone:
"If you hadn't told me that I was almost careless, then let's not talk about it for now. I'll deal with this matter first."
