Black Bellied President Dotes on Wife

Chapter 551: To Cherish

Chapter 551: To Cherish

It was definitely true that a new mother could be dumb for at least three years. What made Shangguan Ning think of such a terrible idea? If she had known that Shangguan Ning’s plan was not strong enough, she would not have come to make an enemy for herself. Maybe Zhao Anan was cursing her inside her heart at this moment.

Well, since she was here already, she would give her best till the end.

She must make sure that she completes all the key points Shangguan Ning had set.

“Mumu, I feel so cold, can I borrow your coat?”

Mi Xiaoxiao pointed at the white coat hanging on the handrails of the sofa.

Mu Qing finally understood why Shangguan Ning had forced him to put on the coat!

He had thought that the temperature in June was usually high and it was weird that she had forced him to put on a coat. The air-conditioner at the restaurant was on. It was normal that Mi Xiaoxiao felt a bit cold with such little clothes on her.

If Zhao Anan had been sitting opposite him, Mu Qing would definitely have draped it on her without her asking him for it. He would have been worried about her getting a cold.

But he did not care whether Mi Xiaoxiao would get cold or not.

But, since Mi Xiaoxiao asked him for it, Mu Qing would have to give her the coat. He knew that Mi Xiaoxiao must be Shangguan Ning’s friend who was doing them a favor. So he had to follow her request, after all.

Mu Qing passed the coat to her with a smile. “Put it on. Be sure to wear more next time you are out. The temperature gap is huge between outdoors and indoors, and you may catch a cold.”

Mi Xiaoxiao finally could not stand it any more. Ignoring her image as a lady, she glared at him, suggesting that he should come and put it on for her, instead!

Mu Qing smiled but said nothing.

He did not want to stimulate Zhao Anan any more. He was concerned by Zhao Anan’s increasing sadness.

But even if Mu Qing did not offer the coat, Zhao Anan had already heard her heart break when his coat was on Mi Xiaoxiao’s body.

Mu Qing’s clothes used to warm her but now they were on another woman’s shoulders. Zhao Anan had never expected that it would be such a bitter feeling when she saw this scene.

Soon the beefsteak was served and Mi Xiaoxiao and Mu Qing talked as they ate the tender beefsteak.

The bright sunshine pierced in through the clear window and shone upon the two people seated at the table by the window. The man looked handsome whilst the woman was charming and pretty. They looked like straight out of a water-ink painting.

Zhao Anan felt that everything around her was fading away.

She thought back to her time with Mu Qing and realized that she did not seem to have had such a lovely meal with Mu Qing ever.

When Mu Qing was with her, he used to spoil her so that she could do whatever she wanted without any restriction. She had never gone on a date with him except on the day when she was 17 years old, when they just established their relationship and went for a movie. On that movie date, she fell asleep during the show.

In the years that followed, she dodged Mu Qing with all methods she could come up with and always kept silent when they were having a meal. She was always in a sour mood, for some reason or another.

Suddenly, Zhao Anan realized something.

She had not known how to cherish what was good for her. She liked Mu Qing a great deal, yet she had been so selfish that she had never considered Mu Qing’s feelings and kept running away from reality!

She had a very bad temper as a lady from a rich family who had been spoiled by her parents and then by Mu Qing.

She was both lucky and unlucky.

There was someone who loved her unconditionally and she had been walking all over his love all this time. She was someone who did not know much about love. She did not even know what Mu Qing liked and disliked. Every time they were eating together, she would always leave what she did not like to Mu Qing, who would tell her that whatever she liked was all what he liked.

It was not until today did she get to know that Mu Qing did not like ketchup.

Because she heard the lady saying with a smile a minute ago, “You don’t like ketchup? Me neither!”

But when they were eating pasta, she would put a lot of ketchup and then get full when she finished half of the bowl. Mu Qing, without hesitation, would eat up the rest.

And today, there was not a single bit of ketchup in the pasta he ordered!

Zhao Anan had a bitter smile on her face.

If she had not broken up with Mu Qing, she might never have understood how much Mu Qing loved her and what all he had done for her out of love.

Shangguan Ning kept telling her that she could not see the right from wrong and was losing the biggest happiness that she had been given. She had not taken it seriously, but now she realized that what Shangguan Ning said was true!

Zhao Anan could not stand it any more, because she was worried that she would lose control and rush to Mu Qing, ordering him not to be together with that woman and throw herself into his arms.

Zhao Anan got up and staggered towards the staircase.

Seeing Zhao Anan leave, Mi Xiaoxiao and Mu Qing both got startled.

This was a bit different from what Shangguan Ning had planned.

Mi Xiaoxiao was the deputy director of the public relations department of Jingsheng Enterprise and experienced several serious situations. She was a smart person and skilled at getting away from tricky scenarios, but she was at a loss at the moment.

The leading female character had retreated and she, as the supporting lead, could not turn the tables.

Seeing Zhao Anan disappearing, Mu Qing stood up and tried to run after her.

Mi Xiaoxiao did not care about his actions. She had finished her job and had no time or interest in stirring up that annoying couple’s business any further. What she was going to do was to enjoy the meal! She was in for a double treat, because Mu Qing had barely touched his portion.

It was not until Mu Qing disappeared did Mi Xiaoxiao realize that the meal had not been paid for yet!

Mi Xiaoxiao stood up and tried to call Mu Qing back when she found that he was already on the street, running after Zhao Anan.

How could he run so fast? People would assume that he was trying to avoid paying the bill.

She regretted it deeply – damn it! This meal cost half of her monthly salary.

She was definitely going to ask for compensation from Shangguan Ning. It had to be counted as a business affair!
