Another winter had co.
This year in Huhai was exceptionally cold, and the chilling wind from the river had boosted the sales of down jackets trendously today.
"After more than a decade without snow, Huhai suddenly saw snowflakes~"
There was fitting music coming from the streets, and indeed, Huhai had seen so snowflakes this year.
For southerners who seldom saw snow, even a little snowflake excited them greatly.
Many university students at schools would rush to the greenbelts and scoop up thin layers of snow, struggling to mold it into a small snowman the size of a palm for a long ti.
Even so, they were excited enough to cluster together for photos.
Xu Musen's days passed steadily, his company progressing smoothly; in terms of personal affairs, today was New Year and he could formally take An Nuannuan ho for the Spring Festival.
There was sothing off, though.
It was that recently, two young ladies who usually hopped and skipped around him had been oddly quiet.
Zhu Yulan's side was sowhat understandable; after all, the events of that late evening had obviously made it difficult for her to face him imdiately.
But Xu Musen had arrived at the downtown office building.
After handling so affairs, he headed to Zhu Yulan's office.
Previously, Xu Musen would just push the door and enter.
But this ti, Xu Musen hesitated for a few seconds at the door, stroking his chin, wondering if that young lady might seize the mont to confront him about that night's events.
"Hi, Boss Xu, you're here."
While Xu Musen was pondering, Yang Xiaotao ca over with so coffee and snacks.
"Oh, what a coincidence."
Xu Musen turned and chuckled dryly.
"What coincidence? I work here, you know."
Yang Xiaotao looked puzzled. "Why don't you go in? Sister Zhu is inside."
"I just arrived... Is this for her?"
Xu Musen looked at the hot coffee and desserts in her hands.
"Yes, Elder Sister Zhu tends to skip als when she's busy. I got these to tide her over."
"Let take it, go have fun."
Xu Musen extended his hand to take it, waved at her, thought for a second, and then pulled out a bill to hand to her.
"What's this for?"
"Go get a KFC bucket."
"This isn't enough."
"Isn't it $98 per bucket?"
"Am I eating one too?" Yang Xiaotao, the food lover, chuckled mischievously.
Xu Musen laughed speechlessly and handed her another bill. "Hurry up."
"Got it!"
Only then did Xu Musen slowly turn the doorknob and enter the room.
Yang Xiaotao watched Xu Musen's retreating figure, touching her plump chin. "Boss Xu... Why does it feel like he's acting guilty?"
But no matter, another free al at KFC, hehehe!
Xu Musen entered the office.
His gaze imdiately fell on Zhu Yulan, who was focused non-stop on typing on her computer screen.
Zhu Yulan's outfit today was indeed quite eye-catching.
Previously, the young lady often dressed in youthful, fashionable styles, wearing long wavy hair with trendy clothes or elegant long skirts.
But now, she dressed more in business attire, sporting a blazer, short skirt, white shirt, paired with gold-rimd glasses, and her long hair simply tied up.
Zhu Yulan was naturally thin, a perfect clothes hanger, and her professional outfit truly gave a sense of a rich young lady making waves in the workplace as described in novels.
Her delicate oval face, rarely seen among won, had strong lines, the falling snow outside the window, the room warm as spring, casting her skin even fairer.
Xu Musen placed the plate in front of her.
Seeing that Zhu Yulan's eyes were fixed on the computer screen from start to finish, Xu Musen didn't feel right interrupting her.
So he just watched her.
Minutes later, he noticed the steam from the coffee was about to fade.
Xu Musen picked up the coffee and waved it in front of Zhu Yulan. "The coffee is almost cold."
Zhu Yulan's eyes paused from the computer montarily; she leaned her head on one hand, still not looking up but said teasingly, "I thought a certain soone had beco mute, but turns out he can still talk, huh?"
Xu Musen smiled. "Did you know it was who ca in just now?"
"That sleazy man scent, I could sll it through the door."
Zhu Yulan finally raised her head, her bright almond eyes gleaming.
Xu Musen coughed, placing the coffee in her hands. "Mind the impact on our company image, give so face."
"Humph."
Zhu Yulan took a sip of the hot coffee, and both of them silently looked at each other, seemingly at a loss for words.
"Did Boss Xu co here today just to space out, or were you dazzled by my unsurpassed beauty?"
Zhu Yulan sipped her coffee, her gaze slowly shifting to him, her hands cradling her cheeks, and a slight smile blooming across her delicate face.
It must be said, Zhu Yulan seed almost like a different person now, not only unaffected by recent events, but seemingly even more spirited.
Xu Musen's gaze inadvertently drifted to the corners of her lips; Zhu Yulan wore a pale lipstick today, making her lips seem even more tempting, like freshly ripe cherries.
Xu Musen averted his eyes.
"Boss Zhu indeed looks very beautiful."
Xu Musen was certainly not stingy with his complints.
Zhu Yulan clicked her tongue. "Is the subject correct?"
Xu Musen paused slightly, then shook his head with a smile. "Let rephrase, Miss Yu Lan has always been beautiful."
