Perhaps she hadn't realized herself, but right now, her pose... really was that of a young girl.
"By the way, after I got drunk... I didn't do or say anything weird, did I?"
Zhu Yulan suddenly spoke again, rembering she had a dream, in which she saw her sister and couldn't help but hug her, feeling that embrace to be particularly real and warm.
She watched Xu Musen's expression while her mind was still sowhat in disarray.
"It's fine, Boss Zhu holds her liquor well, just conks out after drinking too much."
Xu Musen smiled and nodded.
Zhu Yulan watched him for a while and eventually let out a snort of unknown emotion.
"You ca to see on purpose today, not just for this matter, right?" Xu Musen asked.
"Just this. I have nothing good to talk about with a scumbag like you anyway."
Zhu Yulan stood up, and after confirming she was still a pure and innocent girl, she regained her usual aristocratic deanor.
Xu Musen couldn't help but smile, looking at her and saying, "That amount of money probably isn't enough for you. Let know if you need help, I'll still assist if I can."
Zhu Yulan's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Xu Musen's smile, almost seeing another gentle smile blending slowly with his.
"Why... are you so good to ?"
Zhu Yulan's question was quite conceited, but as the saying goes, unsolicited favors are suspicious.
The world is realistic like that. Even within families, it's hard to avoid selfish motives, let alone when they were just friends.
"Because I believe in Boss Zhu's future achievents. When you get rich later, rember to treat to a drink and bring along for the ride. Let's not forget each other when we're well off."
Xu Musen was quite accurate at judging people. Although Zhu Yulan lacked social experience, her spirit of non-conformity and daring to fight promised great potential for her future.
Zhu Yulan looked at him, that tone of affirmation and the feeling of being trusted was exactly what she needed now.
Suddenly, a thought erged from the depths of her heart. If she could always have soone like this by her side, perhaps she would face her family with more confidence.
But then...
She smiled abruptly, looking at Xu Musen's cheek, "Supporting you, my lady might consider that, but I won't drink with you again."
"Why not?"
"Drinking too much with you is a pain in the ass."
"..."
Watching Xu Musen's frustrated expression, Zhu Yulan couldn't help but break into a radiant smile, perhaps the happiest she had felt in a long ti.
"How did Boss Zhu also beco a hooligan."
"Pfft, we're all adults here, no point pretending. If anyone learns bad habits, it's from you."
Zhu Yulan spoke as if it were a matter of course, the people in her circles either had very strict family teachings or were shockingly liberal.
After all, once people get rich, emotions often cause a bit of trouble, as the saying goes, when idle with a full belly, one's mind turns to thoughts of desire...
She got up to leave, and before going, she approached the counter and said to Zhao Lianmai, "Xiao Mai, get two milk teas and the most expensive pastry here, the boss is paying."
"Alright."
Zhao Lianmai didn't waste words and handed her a big bag of items straight away.
Zhu Yulan took the items and provocatively tilted her chin at Xu Musen inside, as if to say this was her compensation for the emotional distress he owed her.
Then she left without looking back.
Xu Musen smiled, thinking to himself that these young ladies, in the end, were only eighteen or nineteen years old, mature yet still showing traces of youthfulness, quite adorable indeed.
He too walked to the front desk, looking at Zhao Lianmai, "Why didn't you ask if I agreed to give her stuff just now?"
Zhao Lianmai looked up, eting his gaze calmly and said, "When have you ever not given sothing a girl asked for?"
"..."
Xu Musen was at a loss for words, "It's not as if I give anything to just anyone, okay."
Zhao Lianmai looked down, continuing to read the invoices and casually said, "Of course, you only give to those good-looking girls."
"..."
This employee was impossible to deal with!
Checking the ti.
It was ti to go to Nuannuan's grandparents' house.
He glanced at Zhao Lianmai, reaching out to grab a few cherries and placed a couple on the invoices in front of her.
Zhao Lianmai looked up at him.
"Brother thinks you're pretty too, so please enjoy so fruit."
Xu Musen deliberately spoke in a flirtatious tone, trying to teach a lesson to this little employee who dared to talk back to the boss.
But Zhao Lianmai only moved her eyes slightly, "Oh."
"...Leaving!"
Xu Musen left in frustration.
Only after he drove off did Zhao Lianmai pick up the cherries from the invoice.
She held the two glossy, full cherries, a gentle curve appearing on her lips, slowly placing them in her mouth to taste.
Hmm, very sweet...
...
Xu Musen was picking up An Nuannuan to return to her parents' ho.
He had thought about buying more gifts, but it seed excessive as Nuannuan's family lacked nothing, and arriving with too many presents could seem as if he harbored a guilty conscience.
So he decided it was better to buy more food to help the elders and show off his cooking skills.
Upon arriving at Nuannuan's family's villa,
An Nannan was already waiting eagerly at the low garden wall watching the road.
Seeing her sister and Xu Musen's arrival, she bounced happily over to them.
"Sister!"
She plunged into her sister's arms, and as An Nuannuan's health improved, she could now hold Nannan firmly in her embrace and gently rub her little head.
"Sister, you sll so nice, and you seem even prettier!"
