Ling Nua
uan stared blankly at the bracelet on her hand for a while before realizing that she was about to get off the car.
"Don"t think I can forgive you for saying bad things about me just now by giving me my bracelet." Ling Nua
uan reminded him in a huff.
"Then can you forgive me if I treat you to another meal?" Mu Weicheng knew that she was playing with a kid again, but this was also what made her cute. With her chattering mouth, his boring life seemed to have a lot more fun.
"That depends on what you"re treating me to. If it"s a delicacy, it"s fine. If it"s just vegetables, it"s not possible." Ling Nua
uan purposely made things difficult for him.
The moment she finished, Mu Weicheng fiercely turned the steering wheel and drove down along a downhill on the side.
Ah!" Ling Nua
uan was so frightened that she quickly hugged her seat belt and asked depressingly, "Where does this road go?
"You"ll know when we get there." Mu Weicheng intentionally kept secrets.
Ling Nua
uan pouted, her eyes sparkling. She originally thought that tonight would be a lonely and sad night, but ever since he appeared, she discovered that even time had become lively.
She wasn"t afraid at all. As long as it was a place Mu Weicheng wanted to take her, it would definitely be a safe and warm place.
They didn"t say anything else for the rest of the journey. Mu Weicheng sped up the car a bit.
After descending down the hill, they found themselves on a road that led uphill. Ling Nua
uan"s eyes were looking out from the outskirts, and she could see trees everywhere.
"Can you come back later today? The place I"m going to take you to, it"s a bit far. " Mu Weicheng asked her in a low voice.
"Sure!" Ling Nua
uan nodded immediately. Anyway, she could get her friend to help her cover. As long as she was with Mu Weicheng, she could stay for as long as she wanted.
After more than half an hour of driving, the car finally stopped and a cool breeze blew from a distant valley. Ling Nua
uan took a deep breath, and her heart was completely cold. How come I didn"t know there was such a place around us?
"This is the closest reservoir to our city. There"s a game restaurant nearby. Let"s go." Mu Weicheng took off a piece of his jacket and put it on Ling Nua
uan"s body. Then he led her towards the small path on the side.
"Sigh, I"m afraid!" Since she was young, Ling Nua
uan had lived in a city filled with light. She had never walked this dirt road in the dark, so she was a little nervous. In addition, her imagination had always been plentiful; she was afraid that a snake would suddenly jump out from the gra.s.s.
Mu Weicheng had come here from a variety of desperate situations. To him, this kind of small path was like walking on flat ground. Hearing her timid voice, he was stu
ed. He just realized that he seemed to have overestimated her courage.
He stretched out his hand towards her. "Don"t be afraid, this place is very safe."
Ling Nua
uan forced a laugh and said, "I"m going to use my flashlight to s.h.i.+ne on the road."
Mu Weicheng chuckled. He withdrew his hand and squatted down right in front of her, "I"m carrying you. I"ve walked this road many times. The owner of the restaurant has kept a few puppies. You"re the safest with them lying on my back."
"Then I won"t be polite." Ling Nua
uan directly laid over. The man easily carried her on his back and used his hands to hold her legs, allowing her to be steady.
Ling Nua
uan, on the other hand, noticed the faint smell of mint on the man"s body. She couldn"t help but press her face against him.
The man"s body visibly stiffened. However, it was only a split-second before he regained his composure.
"Mu Weicheng, how did you know there was a restaurant here? Do you often bring friends? " Ling Nua
uan was starting to get curious.
"No, the owner of the restaurant can be considered my friend. We"ve known each other since the begi
ing." Mu Weicheng answered in a low voice.
"Have you brought any other female friends here for di
er?" Ling Nua
uan was a jealous person.
"No, I brought my sister here." Mu Weicheng answered straightforwardly.
"I don"t believe it!" Ling Nua
uan"s eyes looked around, "This is a good place to date."
"Most of the time, I"m here because I can fish. If I fish, I can take it to the restaurant to cook, not to date."
When Ling Nua
uan heard him answer her so frankly, she couldn"t help but chuckle.
Actually, she believed that Mu Weicheng didn"t have those flowery thoughts. She just wanted to tease him on purpose.
It was at this moment that the barking of a few dogs could be heard from a place not far away where there was light.
"We"re here!" Mu Weicheng said in a low voice.
"Mister Mu!" The owner of the restaurant seemed surprised to see him. "You didn"t call for an appointment?"
Mu Weicheng asked with a smile: "No appointment, no di
er?"
"Of course not, go sit at the table with your friend first. I"ll help you prepare some good dishes and bring them over." When the owner of the restaurant saw that he was bringing a beautiful young girl, he immediately understood.
"Thank you!" Mu Weicheng said gratefully.
Before the owner of the restaurant left, he suddenly asked, "Should I bring you a bottle of red wine?"
Mu Weicheng Jun was surprised and embarra.s.sed, "No need, I drove the car over."
Only then did the owner of the restaurant smile and nod.
Mu Weicheng turned his head and met Ling Nua
uan"s smiling eyes. His handsome face instantly turned red.
Ling Nua
uan pulled a chair over and sat down. She pulled up the jacket that he had given her, and her smile widened.
Mu Weicheng did not dare to meet her eyes that were filled with content, and he deliberately looked towards the mountain.
However, when he s.h.i.+fted his gaze, he could still feel Ling Nua
uan"s eyes. He coughed lightly and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Ling Nua
uan pouted and asked knowingly, "Why does the boss want to give you wine?"
Mu Weicheng thought that he had changed the topic. He did not expect that she would ask this question again, causing him to be even more embarra.s.sed.
"The boss wants to promote his wine, and that"s all?" Mu Weicheng answered quickly.
"Oh!" Ling Nua
uan dragged her tone.
Mu Weicheng laughed because of her: "What are you thinking?"
I"m not thinking about anything. I just feel that it"s good to have a drink. The scenery here is so beautiful. It"s such a pity to not have a drink and be romantic." Ling Nua
uan said with a chuckle.
"I can"t drink while driving. You can"t drink when you want to go to school." Mu Weicheng"s expression turned serious. Ling Nua
uan knew that he would answer her seriously, so she nodded her head and said, "Fine, if you don"t want to drink, then don"t."
Within half an hour, the restaurant"s owner had already served them three dishes and a soup.
Mu Weicheng put the fried prawn into her bowl: "Eat!"
Ling Nua
uan picked it up with her chopsticks and took a bite. The fragrance was crisp and sweet, along with the fresh taste of the prawns. It was really tasty.
Mu Weicheng smiled as he saw her eating so sweetly.
Ling Mofeng returned at around 8 PM. Lan Yanxi had already finished her di
er and was sitting on the sofa, reading a book. The man carried his coat on his arm as he walked in with a n.o.ble and elegant demeanor. The light from the lantern fell on his face, yet there was also a trace of weariness within the warmth.
Lan Yanxi quickly put down the book in her hands and walked towards him.
The man naturally reached out his hand to embrace the girl who leaned towards him. Then, he gently and lovingly stroked her hair a few times.
"Have you had di
er?" Lan Yanxi asked as she looked at him.
Ling Mofeng nodded. "Yes, but not much. I"m still a bit hungry right now."
"Then do you want to eat something? There"s a lot of food in the fridge." When Lan Yanxi heard that he hadn"t eaten his fill, her first reaction was to cook something for him.
Ling Mofeng casually put his coat on the back of the chair and held her, "You don"t need to do it, I"ll do it myself."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Lan Yanxi"s pretty face. "I really want to help you with something. You"re so busy working all day and have to cook for yourself when you get home. My wife is just like a decoration."
Ling Mofeng couldn"t help but laugh when he saw that she was angry with him. "As long as I don"t mind your laziness, no one can care about you."
"I can"t bear to see myself like this." Lan Yanxi mocked herself.
"What do you mean you don"t like it? Just look at it for a bit longer and you"ll get used to it." As the man spoke, he opened the fridge and found that it was stuffed with food. He took it out and looked through it. There was pasta, bread, and some frozen corn dumplings.
Ling Mofeng picked up a bag of dumplings and walked towards the kitchen.
Lan Yanxi was stu
ed. Habit? Was this man encouraging her to be lazy to the end?
How could she have a husband like him? How much luck did she have in her previous life?
