"Xiao Ru!"
The moment Ru s.h.i.+ got to the school gate; she met Shen Ruyi who hooked around her shoulder from behind her.
"Wow, you"re glowing! I can see that Mr. Mystery man is treating you really well!" Shen Ruyi said excitedly.
"Well…" Ru s.h.i.+ blushed, remembering last night.
"Oh, my! Did you just blush? Details, girl."
Ru s.h.i.+ ignored her, as she walked.
"I will buy you your favorite cake!" Shen Ruyi shouted at her.
Ru s.h.i.+ stopped when she heard her.
She really liked cakes! And Shen Ruyi knows that.
"Really?"
Shen Ruyi smirked, "of course!"
She knew Ru s.h.i.+ can literally sell her soul just for a cake.
"Well..." Ru s.h.i.+ started telling her everything that happened yesterday.
Shen Ruyi"s eyes went wide.
"That Feng Lu!!! It seems I should"ve punched him when I got the chance! Don"t you think he"s mentally ill?" Shen Ruyi asked her friend.
"Well..."
"So...you"re living with him now huh? Don"t tell me you"re ready to make babies! Oh, don"t forget to name your daughter after me!"
Ru s.h.i.+ blushed, thinking about having kids with Mu Chang.
She wondered what they"d look like.
"Never! I don"t want my daughter to be as stupid as you!" Ru s.h.i.+ said as she laughed and ran away from her friend.
"You..!" Shen Ruyi began, chasing after her just like when they were kids. People stared at them, shaking their head.
They know Ru s.h.i.+ is always indifferent and reserved but once Shen Ruyi comes she shatters their perspective of her.
Little did Shen Ruyi know that Ru s.h.i.+ would really name her daughter after her.
Ru s.h.i.+ sat in cla.s.s and felt bored. Since breaking up with Feng Lu she realized that she really hates this cla.s.s.
She stared out of the window as she thought about what her life would"ve been like if she had married Feng Lu. Just as she was in pondering on that, a shadow fell over her.
"Ru s.h.i.+, you"re the reason Grandpa Feng has sent Feng Yan to an unknown country with no form of communication!"
Ru s.h.i.+ looked up and saw Xin Yang the best friend of Feng Yan.
So Feng Yan has been sent out of the country. No wonder she hadn"t seen her!
"Miss Xin, don"t tell me you"re mentally r.e.t.a.r.ded. Did I force her to lie or did I ask her sleep with Feng Lu? Why are you coming to play the victim here, when this doesn"t even concern you? Please, you"re blocking the sun, can you leave?"
Ru s.h.i.+ looked at her indifferently as she turned to stare out of the window again.
"You...!
When Xin Yang saw that she was being ignored, she got angry. "Just because you now have a gold lord so you can talk back at me?"
The cla.s.smates started whispering when they heard her.
"Ru s.h.i.+ stood up and slapped Xin Yang.
"Miss Xin, even though I"m poor, I don"t mind selling the last thing on me so I can sue you for defamation. So be careful with your words. If there"s nothing else excuse me." Ru s.h.i.+ said as she packed her things.
"You… just…" Xin Yang fumed.
"And oh, by the way, I don"t want to hear any rumors or else!" Ru s.h.i.+ glared at the people whispering. They felt inexplicably chilly and they stopped talking.
After that, she did not wait for Xin Yang to talk again and walked out of the cla.s.sroom.
When Ru s.h.i.+ came out of the school gate, she did not see the driver that brought her in the morning.
Just then, she heard the honk of a car hooter and looked up and stared at the car.
She hesitated for a while, the window of the car slowly opened as Mu Chang"s face came out.
"How was your cla.s.s?" he asked.
Ru s.h.i.+ looked at the time.
It is four o"clock in the afternoon. Isn"t Mu Chang supposed to be working?
"You got off work early?"
When Mu Chang had conducted the meeting and left work early, everyone was stunned!
But he said drearily, "I"ve already finished all my work."
Ru s.h.i.+ looked at him suspiciously but did not say anything; after all, she was happy to see him.
In the car, no one talked as they stole glances at each other.
After a while, Mu Chang did not feel her gaze any more. When he glanced at her, he saw her looking out of the window.
What is she busy looking at? He wondered.
Mu Chang"s brow wrinkled as he glanced at the unchanging streets outside.
"There"s a charity event in two days," he said.
Ru s.h.i.+ turned to look at him.
Mu Chang continued, "I want you to go with me."
Does this mean he wants her to be part of his world? She conjectured.
"Okay!"
However, as Ru s.h.i.+ thought for a moment, Feng Lu"s words replayed in her mind. What if he comes there? After all the Feng"s are known for being involved in charity programs.
Mu Chang saw her frowning and knew she was worried about the party.
"Don"t worry. I will be there with you. The management is very strict with this party, so don"t worry!"
Ru s.h.i.+ nodded very seriously.
"I know..."
When they reached home, Mu Chang went upstairs, but Ru s.h.i.+ went to the kitchen. Today she wanted to cook for him!
After all, she believed that the way to a man"s heart is through his stomach!
"Zhu w.a.n.g," Ru s.h.i.+ said with difficulty.
"I have come to ask for your help."
"What, Miss Ru?" The cook asked her.
"I...would to cook for Mu Chang but I don"t know what he likes," Ru s.h.i.+ said embarra.s.sedly.
When the cook heard her, she smiled softly and replied, "you can prepare fish porridge for him, since boss really likes fis.h.!.+"
The cook took her to look at a huge tank full of fish.
Ru s.h.i.+ was surprised.
How rich was he to get such a huge tank full of fis.h.!.+
"The ingredients are also in the fridge. If you need my help I will be here," The cook told Ru s.h.i.+.
After more than half an hour, Mu Chang came downstairs and went into his study.
Ru s.h.i.+ looked at the food on the table and sighed.
She sat at the door of his study, afraid that she"d disturb him. After all, he came home early because of her.
She didn"t know how long it took until she heard a voice from above her head.
Hearing the sound, Ru s.h.i.+ sweetly looked up at Mu Chang.
"Don"t you want to eat?"
"I"m not hungry," he said.
He stretched his hand to her and said, "get up."
Ru s.h.i.+ just stood up but because her legs were sore, she almost fell down but luckily she was caught by Mu Chang.
"How long have you been sitting here?"
He sighed, bent down and picked her up and started walking.
As he pa.s.sed the dining room the cook said, "Boss, the food is ready."
"I don"t want to eat."
"But Miss Ru prepared it for you especially!"
Mu Chang looked at the little blus.h.i.+ng woman in his arms.
He smirked as he said, "well, serve me then!"
He wanted to eat the food that his Kitten especially prepared for him.
Ru s.h.i.+ stood by as she watched Mu Chang eat with antic.i.p.ation.
"It"s good," Mu Chang said.
"But I know how to make it taste better."
"Aha?"
Before Ru s.h.i.+ realized what he meant.
He pulled her onto his lap, kissed her while feeding her.
"There, that"s better!"
Ru s.h.i.+ blushed as she glared at him.
