Ling Nua
uan was flipping through Fu Yu"s information. Previously, she was able to concentrate, but now, she could no longer read anything. Unable to control herself, she reached for her phone. She flipped through the phone book and found Mu Weicheng"s cell phone number, looking at it absent-mindedly.
She did not have the courage to call him. Just looking at his name gave her a sense of satisfaction.
However, this satisfaction was far from filling the yearning in her heart.
Ling Nua
uan"s pretty face was alarmed as her finger inadvertently made a call. She quickly hung up the phone with a guilty conscience.
She thought that Mu Weicheng wouldn"t notice that she had called his cell phone just because she rang it twice.
But the next second, the black screen suddenly lit up and Mu Weicheng"s name jumped on it.
Ling Nua
uan screamed and hid her phone under the quilt. She was both embarra.s.sed and alarmed.
Ling Nua
uan didn"t dare to answer, yet she didn"t want to miss the call. She still took out her phone and placed it close to her ear.
"Did you call me?" The man"s deep voice sounded out, but it was only a question.
"Ugh ??" I accidentally dialed the wrong number. I was going to call my brother. " Ling Nua
uan"s beautiful eyes looked around in panic as she found an explanation.
"Alright, if there"s nothing else, I"ll be hanging up." Mu Weicheng"s voice didn"t seem to have any fluctuations in it.
"Ai ??" "Don"t hang up." When Ling Nua
uan heard that he was going to hang up the phone, she immediately became anxious and shouted loudly.
"Anything else?" The man asked indifferently.
"I have an appointment with a friend tonight. Will you come over?" Ling Nua
uan directly asked him. Although she was shy, there were some things she wouldn"t know if she didn"t say it out loud.
"I don"t know your friend, so it wouldn"t be convenient for me to go." Mu Weicheng was stu
ed for a moment and then replied plainly.
"Then you won"t come?" Ling Nua
uan"s voice was filled with disappointment.
"I have no reason to." The man was silent for two seconds before he replied.
Ling Nua
uan"s heart felt like it was being stabbed by something. She knew she was making a ruckus without reason, but she really missed him too much. She wanted to see him, as he had recently gone to a senior cla.s.s, even if they were in the same school together, she hadn"t seen him for two days.
At both ends of the phone, everyone fell silent.
"Then I"m hanging up." Ling Nua
uan wasn"t someone who could force others into a corner, but her voice was heart-wrenching.
"Do you want to see me?" Suddenly, the man"s voice sounded from within the silence.
Ling Nua
uan didn"t expect him to be even more direct than she was. She was stu
ed for a moment, embarra.s.sed to the point that she didn"t dare to reply.
"Let me treat you to a meal." Mu Weicheng said in a low voice.
"Why did you invite me to eat?" Ling Nua
uan was both surprised and happy.
"No reason, I eat alone at night." The man"s voice had a hint of laziness to it.
"Sure, give me an address and I"ll come look for you." Ling Nua
uan was in a great mood. She had just fallen into the valley, but now she was in the air again. She even started to walk gracefully.
Mu Weicheng hung up the phone and sent an address to Ling Nua
uan. Ling Nua
uan looked at the address in surprise.
This was not the address of a restaurant, but rather the address of a district.
Ling Nua
uan"s heartbeat quickened. With a frown, she wondered, could this be a private restaurant?
Right now, many of the more expensive restaurants were run by their own families, and many wealthy men were the first to succeed because they were busy and did not want to deal with their own meals. They would find a private restaurant as a base and eat there on time every day.
Ling Nua
uan tidied herself up and took out a pair of denim skirt that she hadn"t worn in a long time. She then carefully painted a light makeup in front of the makeup mirror before carrying her bag downstairs.
"Warm, come back early tonight." Old Master Lan warned her granddaughter.
"I know, Grandpa. I"ll be back before nine." Ling Nua
uan walked up to her grandfather and kissed his forehead.
The old man quickly used his hand to wipe it and said with disdain, "What did you paint this time? It"s so greasy. "
Ling Nua
uan spun around happily. "Wearing lipstick, girls all wear lipstick."
The old tutor rubbed his hands together and saw a patch of red. He felt even more disgusted.
Ling Nua
uan felt that the older her grandfather, the more fun it was, like a child, she would tease him whenever she had time.
Mr. Driver was waiting for her at the door. Ling Nua
uan gave him the address and he immediately headed towards his destination.
After more than an hour of driving, Ling Nua
uan arrived at the high-end apartment. She checked in at the gate guard"s office and then walked to the small district by herself.
The district was very beautiful, with dim lights at night.
Ling Nua
uan found the elevator and pressed the b.u.t.ton to go up.
The elevator"s doors jingled. Ling Nua
uan stuck her head out and looked around. The big rooms on each floor were quite luxurious.
Ling Nua
uan took a deep breath. What if there were a lot of people inside, making a lot of noise? She just wanted to be alone with Mu Weicheng for a while.
Ye Zichen raised his hand and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened, and Mu Weicheng, who was only in his home clothes, stood inside, holding his sleeves and revealing his firm arms. When he saw her, a look of unease flashed across his face.
"Is this your home?" Ling Nua
uan"s eyes widened as she guessed what was going on.
Mu Weicheng nodded. "Yes, my house."
Ling Nua
uan looked at him in surprise. "Why didn"t you tell me about it over the phone?"
"Will you not come if I tell you?" Mu Weicheng"s thin lips curled up into a smile.
"Of course not, I will make the Mr. Driver speed up to come here." Ling Nua
uan immediately answered with a smile. Her adorable expression made Mu Weicheng stiffen. He purposely avoided her and didn"t dare to look directly at the stars in her eyes.
Ling Nua
uan walked in quickly and found that it was a huge four-bedroom apartment. It was decorated in cold colors, just like a man. It was always cold and not warm at all.
"You live alone?" Ling Nua
uan asked as she looked around, her pretty eyes full of curiosity.
"Yes, just me." Mu Weicheng followed behind her, looking at her expression, his mood was indescribably complicated. He didn"t understand what he meant by inviting her to his house for di
er.
Ling Nua
uan pushed open the door to the balcony. A cool breeze blew against her face, blowing her shoulder-length hair, making her seem much more gentle.
The balcony was very large, with a circle of tables and chairs. It was very s.p.a.cious.
Ling Nua
uan turned around and the wind blew her hair down to her face. She opened up her arms and looked at Mu Weicheng happily. "I finally know what the place you live looks like, it"s almost like what I thought."
"What do you think it looks like?" A hint of surprise flashed across Mu Weicheng Jun"s face. He never thought that she would actually imagine the house he lived in. She was really bored.
"It"s about the same as yours. It"s cold and empty. There"s nothing here at all." Ling Nua
uan answered immediately.
"Take a seat first. If you want anything to drink, go get it from the fridge. I"ll make di
er." Mu Weicheng"s mood became a lot better when he saw her happy appearance. He was afraid that she would despise his family.
"You want to cook?" Ling Nua
uan was taken aback. "When did you learn how to cook?" How come I didn"t know? "
"You may not know all about me. I learned how to cook in the army." Mu Weicheng shook his head with a helpless smile. Why is she even more nosy than her sister?
"I want to know everything about you." Ling Nua
uan pouted.
Mu Weicheng"s entire body shuddered. His charming eyes turned towards her face: "You don"t have to like someone because you know them too well."
"Why? But I just want to know more about you, and I won"t hide my love for you now. " Ling Nua
uan looked at him with a strange expression.
"Warm, do you know that there is an invisible wall between us?" Mu Weicheng finally stopped avoiding her relations.h.i.+p. He looked at her with a touch of sadness in his eyes: "I don"t know if I can cross this wall. My surname is Mu, and your surname is Ling.
"What does the grudge between us from the previous generation have to do with us? Why can"t we be together? " A hint of sadness flashed across Ling Nua
uan"s pretty face. Her eyes were covered by a layer of mist. "So it turns out that you care about my surname, Ling."
