Chapter 18 Invite Him to Dinner
Wenxi saw the message from Mu Yansen on her phone after class.
"I'm free tonight"
He was so cold, just a few words to her. But she was already very happy that he was willing to do her the favor.
Picking up the phone, I typed quickly: Mr. Mu, what do you want to eat?
Mu Yansen: Whatever!
This time the reply was quick.
Wenxi: Mr. Mu, please drive to the plaza where my Taekwondo gym is located. There are many restaurants here. Let's eat there. I'll wait for you at the restaurant. I'll send you the address later.
Mu Yansen drove over according to the location sent by Wenxi. The distance was not far, but it was the evening rush hour and there were a lot of cars on the road. It took him forty minutes to arrive.
Wenxi was waiting at the door early. When she saw Mu Yansen's Maybach, she waved to him.
"Mr. Mu, there is a parking space here."
Although the square is small, it has everything and is quite popular. It's packed with people and cars during lunchtime. Wenxi guessed that Mu Yansen was about to arrive and quickly got out to save him a parking space, otherwise it would be hard to find.
Mu Yansen felt a little amused as he looked at the woman who kept waving at him. When had he, the CEO of Tangtang Mu Group, needed someone to reserve his parking space? This had never happened before.
After parking the car and getting out, he glanced at the small square with disgust in his eyes.
Wenxi approached him and explained, "Mr. Mu, don't underestimate our small square. It's very popular. Many people come here to eat, and there are many delicious restaurants."
"Let's go, Mr. Mu."
Wenxi took Mu Yansen to a Cantonese restaurant. It was the most upscale restaurant in their plaza, and also the most expensive. The food was truly delicious. She had been lucky enough to eat there once, at Chen Fei's expense, and she had been reluctant to go back. It had to be said that even though they earned the same amount of money, Chen Fei was much more generous than her, never skimping on food or clothing.
Mu Yansen was a bit surprised. He'd thought Wenxi would take him to a Sichuan restaurant, a Hunan restaurant, a hot pot restaurant, or a skewers restaurant. He'd already figured if she took him to one of those places, he'd just eat a few bites to get by; he couldn't handle spicy food.
Although this Cantonese restaurant is not as big as the high-end restaurants he usually goes to, it has a nice decoration.
The two sat down, and Wenxi handed the menu to Mu Yansen, "Mr. Mu, please order."
Mu Yansen glanced at her, took the menu without refusing, and quickly ordered the dishes.
The dish arrived quickly, and he took a bite. His eyes lit up. It was delicious! Even someone as picky as him thought the dish was well-cooked, on par with those in five-star or six-star hotels.
Wenxi was relieved to see Mu Yansen enjoying his meal. She had to treat him to a meal that would please him. Tang Tang, the CEO of the Mu Group and a billionaire, must have frequented high-end hotels. She was worried he wouldn't be able to handle the food.
This meal cost Wenxi nearly two thousand yuan, which made her feel a little sorry. But compared to what Mu Yansen had helped her with, it was nothing.
Mu Yansen caught a glimpse of the distressed look that flashed across Wenxi's eyes. He'd actually been very restrained when ordering, not overdoing it. He couldn't blame him; Cantonese cuisine was inherently expensive. Seeing how distressed she was, he could just treat her to a nice meal at a six-star hotel next time.
After dinner, the two went to the hospital to visit Mr. Mu.
When Mr. Mu saw them going to the hospital together, he was so relieved that his wrinkles were revealed.
They were all worried that Mu Yansen and Wenxi had no feelings for each other, but they were just pretending to deal with them because they were pushed too far. Their simultaneous appearance now showed that things were moving in a positive direction, and his grandson had changed a little.
"Grandpa, how was your day at the hospital? Is your leg feeling any better?"
"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and grandpa is old, so it's not that easy to heal. He needs to be taken care of. Fortunately, there are so many old men and women in this hospital, so there are plenty of people to chat with. I'm not bored at all. It's much more fun than at home. When I was at home, they were all busy and had no time to accompany me. Even if they had time, they couldn't chat with an old man like me."
Wenxi was amused and jokingly said, "Oh, so many old ladies, is Grandpa going to have a twilight romance?"
Old Master Mu glared at her and scolded her with a smile, "What nonsense you are, kid! I'm already so old, and I'm still looking for a twilight romance. If you tell others about this, they won't laugh at you."
"Grandpa isn't old at all. He's the most handsome among the old men. If you spread the word that you're looking for a partner, all the old ladies will line up."
She wasn't exaggerating. Mr. Mu was well-maintained and looked younger than his peers. One could even vaguely tell he was a handsome man in his youth. Besides, he had founded the Mu Group and was rich. What old lady wouldn't like that?
Old Master Mu was so amused that he laughed out loud. Mu Yansen was infected by their laughter, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
"But it's useless for them to like me. In my life, I only love my old wife who has passed away. Even though she is gone, she is the only one I will ever have as my wife."
When talking about grandma, Mr. Mu's old eyes were full of tenderness.
Wenxi said enviously, "Grandma is so happy!"
"You will too."
Wenxi glanced at Mu Yansen. From the beginning to the end, except for the certificate, everything else was fake. How could there be happiness?
Mu Yansen happened to look over, and Wen Xi quickly looked away.
"Look how bored I am, and I'm already old. Hurry up and give me a little granddaughter to keep me company!"
Two people who were forced to give birth touched their noses and found out that it was another granddaughter?
"Grandpa, we just got married and are still in the honeymoon period. We don't want a child to disturb our world of two." Mu Yansen was still quick to react.
"All you have to do is take care of the little granddaughter. There are plenty of people who can take care of the child. Your parents are free, so I can do it too. We have so many servants at home. You can just go and have your own world. You don't have to worry about the child."
Mu Yansen: “…”
Wenxi: “…”
On the way back in the car, neither of them spoke. Mu Yansen didn't even play a song. The car was too quiet.
Wenxi didn't expect Mu Yansen to say anything, remembering how gentle Grandpa was when he mentioned Grandma just now.
I couldn't help but ask, "Do grandpa and grandma love each other very much?"
Mu Yansen held the steering wheel, looked straight ahead, and said "hmm" softly.
"Grandpa said he and grandma fell in love at first sight. But his family was very poor, and grandma was from a wealthy family, so her family didn't approve of their relationship. To be with Grandpa, she gave up her comfortable life and everything she had at home. She started from scratch with Grandpa, working tirelessly to build the original Mu Group. They loved each other deeply and never had a quarrel for decades."
"After grandma passed away, grandpa was sad for a long time."
Wenxi was deeply moved by what she heard. "My grandparents' love is so enviable. They are both very loyal people. When will I ever be able to experience a relationship like that?"
Mu Yansen didn't respond. Not everyone can avoid such feelings.
