Xu Musen suddenly blurted out that spiel and after he finished, he just waved at her with a smile and turned to leave.
Zhu Yulan stood in place for a long ti, eventually curling her lips, but she still felt sowhat delighted inside.
Xu Musen drove away.
Zhu Yulan wanted to go upstairs, but as she turned her head, she saw Zhu Xianglan sitting in the café below the office building, watching their every move with a smile.
"Sis? What are you doing here?"
Zhu Yulan walked over.
"I was worried you might be upset about yesterday's incident, so I ca to check on you."
Zhu Xianglan's smile carried a hint of auntly amusent, "But it seems soone has already cheered you up."
"It's not like anyone cheered up, I was actually in pretty good spirits before I ran into him today."
Zhu Yulan's cheeks flushed slightly as she spoke haughtily.
"Silly little sister, you still haven't realized it, huh? He was deliberately teasing you today."
Zhu Xianglan shook her head.
"W-What do you an?"
"He could tell you were feeling down, probably guessed it had sothing to do with family matters, so instead of asking about it, he chose to irritate you on purpose, letting you hit him to vent your frustration."
Zhu Xianglan analyzed with a laugh.
Zhu Yulan's expression changed slightly, and upon carefully recollecting Xu Musen's behavior, it really did seem that way.
Xu Musen was never one to suffer losses.
The only people who could beat him up without restraint had been Nuannuan and Yao Mingyue.
And then there was his Younger Aunt, of course…
If that was really the case, Zhu Yulan bit her lip.
This jerk, always like this, so annoyingly insincere, yet always so gently considerate of everyone's feelings.
That's what she liked most about him.
"This little man is indeed quite special, no wonder you like him so much. If I had t soone as interesting as him when I was young, maybe I would've been as brave as you to win him over!"
Zhu Xianglan watched her sister's expression and couldn't help but tease her with a laugh.
"Sis, can you be serious for a mont... Besides, right now his heart only has room for his most beautiful little girlfriend, impenetrable as a fortress."
Zhu Yulan was sowhat dejected, leaning on the table, considering that today she had finally mustered the courage to probe him.
But he had dodged the interaction, feigning ignorance.
"What's the big deal? Just get a chance to get him drunk, or drug him if necessary. If all else fails, I'll hire soone to hit him over the head, and then you can swoop in for a dramatic rescue, taking the opportunity to move up..."
"Sis!"
Zhu Yulan, her face turning red, cut off her sister's outrageous talk.
Zhu Xianglan laughed heartily.
"Okay, okay, I'll stop teasing you. I know what you're worried about, let give you so advice."
Saying this, Zhu Xianglan pulled out several share transfer docunts and handed them to her.
"This is…"
"This is the enterprise our family left for you. I've been managing it for you these past six months, and it's worth quite a lot of money now. I know what you're concerned about.
This little guy is getting better and better, and in the future, he might beco a big shot who shakes up Huhai or even the whole country, and the gap between you and him will grow wider. But right now, you still have a choice.
You can choose to invest these shares in him, or you can decide to strike out on your own and build sothing. In any case, from now on, you need to beco better, to beco soone he can't ignore, soone he can't reject.
You have your own shining points; don't try to mimic soone else purposely. Be your true self, and then the person you like will like you even more."
Zhu Xianglan spoke slowly.
A tremor ran through Zhu Yulan's heart; these words were just like what Xu Musen had said earlier.
Then what... what did he an by that?
Zhu Yulan didn't know, but her heart was filled with a growing warmth.
She admitted that lately, she had subconsciously copied so of Nuannuan's and Yao Mingyue's small mannerisms.
Because she wanted Xu Musen to notice her, too.
But her sister was right; those things weren't her.
If she couldn't even have the confidence to love herself properly, how could she expect soone else to truly love her?
She recalled the words Xu Musen said before he left.
"Brash and unreasonable, yet enthusiastic and determined…"
Whatever...
Zhu Yulan, holding the share transfer docunt in hand, pursed her lips in silence, her mind made up.
She raised her head, looking in the direction Xu Musen had left.
Hmph!
You're ignoring now, but watch as I make myself soone you can't afford to woo!
