The subtle atmosphere in the office lasted for a few seconds before being broken by Song Ci.
"Grandma said you wanted to eat spare ribs this morning, so she asked Aunt Yang to bring them over. Aunt Yang was busy and couldn't come, so I brought them over to you."
When Mu Jingjue heard this, he immediately understood what his grandmother was up to. When did he ever say he wanted to eat spare ribs?
It was obviously grandma who wanted him to eat spare ribs, right? However, he couldn't expose grandma's trick in front of others. Just as he was about to say that he wanted to eat it, someone who didn't know the tact interrupted him.
"Hey, when did you want to eat spare ribs? Didn't you say you wanted to go eat the hairy crab with me? Didn't we agree on that? When did you say that? It's not authentic?" Shen Yicheng asked him with a puzzled look.
Two pairs of eyes looked at him at the same time. He looked at Mu Jingjue and then at the woman with some realization.
He seemed to understand something for a moment, but now, he couldn't control himself?
When Song Ci heard this, he first looked at the person who spoke, and then looked at Mu Jingjue with a questioning look.
Don't eat ribs? Then why do you need to send it to me?
You're not kidding yourself, are you?
When Mu Jingjue heard what Shen Yicheng said, he held his forehead helplessly and looked at his pig teammate speechlessly. Don't you understand this? It's a waste that he grew up with him.
When Mu Jingjue saw Song Ci's puzzled look, he felt a little embarrassed and thought to himself, this is just my grandma's fault.
Looking at her innocent and confused eyes, he glanced at Chen Yicheng impatiently. How could this person be so clueless? He didn't even understand this?
He was originally planning not to explain, but now that he was exposed on the spot, he was in trouble.
Shen Yicheng also realized that he had said too much, and when he looked at her again, he saw her standing here. How could he not understand that this was the new daughter-in-law.
But now was not the time to talk, so he quickly found an excuse and slipped away.
"Um, sister-in-law, I remember now. I have something else to do today. You guys can chat slowly. I'm leaving first."
Having said that, he ran away without waiting for the two men to reply.
"Hey, why did Mr. Shen come out?"
The crowd outside the office were quite surprised to see Mr. Shen coming out in a mess, and they all came up to gossip.
"Go, go, stop asking questions, eat quickly, and then get back to work."
"Huh." Everyone started to cheer.
"What's that? Stop asking." Then he walked away amid the noises of "eh".
In the office, Mu Jingjue and Song Ci were left standing there staring at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Or, why don't you go out with him to eat? I'll bring some back?"
"Well, I just forgot. Now that he's gone, I'd better eat some ribs."
The two spoke at the same time. After they finished speaking, they were stunned again, feeling a little embarrassed.
Mu Jingjue thought that as a CEO of a listed company, he felt extremely embarrassed when facing such a situation.
Song Ci rubbed his hands and felt for the first time that his social skills really needed to be improved. Otherwise, if he kept encountering such situations at home in the future, how would he go on?
"Yeah." She responded lightly, interrupting the awkward moment.
Song Ci now understood what was going on. This was clearly an opportunity created for them by grandma.
"In the future, you don't have to make a special trip for this kind of thing. Just ask the driver to bring it over."
"Yeah." Song Ci wanted to say, where did she see the driver? The driver had been sent away by her grandmother, but she didn't say it. After all, since she was already here, why bother saying it out loud and make people think it was intentional.
"Have you eaten?" Mu Jingjue returned to the dining table and asked her while opening the food.
"I just had breakfast and I'm not hungry yet. You eat." Song Ci said reluctantly.
"That's quite a lot, let's eat it together." He divided the rice into two portions and even used two pairs of chopsticks.
When Song Ci saw this, he understood the meaning. It was obvious that Aunt Yang was not busy, but had to be busy.
She had no choice but to sit down and eat with him. She had originally planned to leave after sending him off, but at this moment she felt that if she went back first, he would definitely find a reason to ask her to come over and take the thermos back.
Just eat it and take it back home.
She sat across from him, looking at the rice in the bowl, feeling a little reluctant. After staring at it for a long time, she struggled to raise her head and asked him, "Do you want to eat some more?"
Mu Jingjue didn't make things difficult for her and simply asked her to share the food she didn't want to eat with him.
She gave him half, leaving only a few bites.
The two of them ate quietly without saying anything.
Mu Jingjue looked at her calm expression and guessed that she probably didn't know about what happened last night.
However, it’s better not to know, as it avoids embarrassment between the two of them.
After finishing her meal, she sat for a while and then stood up. "Well, I'll go back first. You can take a nap."
"Shall I ask the driver to take you?"
"No, I drove here. Don't bother. Just rest."
"Okay, send a message when you get home."
"Okay, got it."
She went out with the thermos, and the secretaries outside greeted her politely.
She nodded one by one.
"Looking at it this way, it seems like Madam is pretty good too."
"Yeah yeah."
After gossiping for a while, everyone returned to their workstations for lunch break.
When she passed by the front desk, the receptionist politely stood up and said goodbye to her.
After Song Ci went out, he drove back.
