Chapter 86 Are you going out today?
"It's been a long time since we last met. How have you been lately?"
Shang Yu is still that sunny and cheerful boy, but now he seems to be more mature and stable.
After what happened last time, it was rare for the two of them to greet each other so calmly. Mu Nanyan saw that he didn't seem angry at all, and she felt a little guilty. She had slapped him in the face in public before, but he still treated her as a friend.
"I'm doing fine lately, how about you?"
"I'm fine too. I didn't expect to meet you at the company at this time. I thought you had already finished get off work and it wouldn't cause any trouble to you."
Mu Nanyan's pupils shrank. She didn't expect that her casual words at that time would have such a big impact on Shang Yu.
"So Shang Yu didn't come to work at the company anymore. Was it to avoid suspicion with me? Not only was he not angry, he even took the initiative to leave. Was he worried that it would be difficult for me?"
Mu Nanyan felt even more guilty when she thought of this. She suddenly wanted to apologize to Shang Yu. Moreover, she and Lu Yiran had been getting along well recently. Lu Yiran should not cause trouble for Shang Yu anymore. She calmed down and said to Shang Yu:
"Do you have time? Let's go to the cafe next to the company."
"Of course I'll accompany you if you want to."
"Let's go."
As they talked, they walked towards the coffee shop outside the company. This time, they chose a seat a little further inside so that it would be convenient for them to talk and avoid being seen by passing colleagues, which might lead to some unexpected news.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Mu Nanyan spoke first:
"I'm sorry, Shang Yu."
Shang Yu looked at her in surprise:
"Why are you suddenly saying sorry to me?"
"What I said back then must have troubled you. I didn't expect it would affect you."
"You don't need to apologize to me. I didn't handle this matter well at the beginning. I caused you trouble. My identity does make it easy for people to be prejudiced against you."
"Actually, I don't care what people in the company say. As long as we know the truth in our hearts, that's enough. But my family got to know this rumor, and they're not very happy, so I have no choice."
"No wonder you said you wanted to be friends with me before, but suddenly said we were colleagues. So that's how it is. I thought about this question for a long time at first."
"I'm sorry, you've been helping me before, and I still treat you like this."
"It's okay. It's been a long time. I've forgotten it a long time ago."
Shang Yu is carefree and seems not to care at all. However, whether he really cares or not, perhaps only he himself knows.
The two men untied their knots and their relationship eased. Shang Yu asked tentatively:
"Then we are all related now..."
"Friend, although we can't meet often, if you need help with something, I will definitely help you."
Hearing this answer, Shang Yu was secretly delighted in his heart. He had really let go of what happened before. After all, he really liked Mu Nanyan. Who could hate a girl he truly loved?
"You can come to me if you have any problems later."
The two smiled at each other, and the previous rift was really resolved this time.
"Why don't we go have a meal together?"
"Let's do it another day. I have something to do tomorrow and want to go back home early to rest. You must have something to do in the company today."
After being reminded by Mu Nanyan, Shang Yu finally remembered the purpose of his coming to the company.
"Look at my memory. I really need to go back and get something now. Let's make an appointment another day when we have time."
"Yeah, well, I'll go back first."
"good."
Mu Nanyan picked up the bag and her own backpack, stood up and left the cafe. Shang Yu sat there for a while before leaving. He now knew the reason for Mu Nanyan's change of attitude. Now that the rumors had finally disappeared, it would be better not to let people in the company see them together, so as not to make things difficult for Mu Nanyan. As for pursuing Mu Nanyan, he should take it slowly.
Mu Nanyan drove directly back to Yujing Tiancheng. After she returned home, she took the dress upstairs and hung it in the closet. Looking at the dress again, Mu Nanyan still felt amazed. It was really beautiful.
Mu Nanyan stayed in the room for a long time. Later, the housekeeper asked her to go downstairs to eat. Mu Nanyan went downstairs and found Lu Yiran was already waiting for her in the restaurant. After the two of them finished their meal, Mu Nanyan went back to her bedroom on the pretext of having work to do. She wanted to prepare for tomorrow's affairs.
Saturday morning
The first rays of sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, gently shimmering on Mu Nanyan's face and awakening her from her deep sleep. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched, and felt the start of a new day. After a quick wash, Mu Nanyan donned comfortable home clothes and walked briskly downstairs, ready to enjoy a delicious breakfast.
In the first-floor living room, the dining table was set with exquisite tableware and a steaming hot breakfast. The air was filled with the alluring aroma of food. Seated at the table, Lu Yiran, dressed in a neat suit and meticulously tied tie, was looking down at the documents in his hands, focused and serious. The morning light outlined his chiseled face, making him look particularly handsome and charming.
When Mu Nanyan saw Lu Yiran's outfit, she was slightly startled. Then she raised a gentle smile and asked:
"Are you going out today? You're dressed so formally."
There was a hint of curiosity and concern in her voice.
Lu Yiran raised his head, his eyes met Mu Nanyan's tenderly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Well, I'm going to work overtime at the company today, and I have a social event in the evening. I'm a little busy at work, so you don't have to wait for me for dinner."
There was a hint of apology in his tone, as if he felt a little regretful about not being able to accompany Mu Nanyan for dinner.
Mu Nanyan nodded slightly when she heard this, expressing her understanding:
"It's okay. Your work is more important. You should also take care of yourself and don't get too tired."
Her eyes were full of care and consideration, which warmed Lu Yiran's heart.
The two chatted while eating, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Mu Nanyan asked about Lu Yiran's recent work situation, and occasionally shared some of her recent life. The conversation between the two was relaxed and natural, as if any topic could resonate with each other.
After breakfast, Lu Yiran stood up, straightened his suit, picked up his briefcase, and prepared to go out. He walked to Mu Nanyan and whispered:
"I'm leaving."
Mu Nanyan nodded and said softly:
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Mu Nanyan watched Lu Yiran's back disappear at the door of the living room, and then returned to her room. She also had to go out tonight, and she had to negotiate that cooperation so that she could sever ties with the Mu family as soon as possible.
She also looked up a lot of information about architecture on the Internet. She had no experience in this industry, so she didn't know much about it. Fortunately, she had a strong learning ability and could learn a lot in a day, so that at least others would not be able to tell that she was an outsider.
