Wu Ze explained, “Yuan Xuan was back in the country at that time. Upon hearing that you’re constantly missing him, hmm, and crying... he asked me to visit you...”
While Wu Ze was speaking, his eyes were scrutinizing the changes in Mu Chenyan.
Mu Chenyan shuddered slightly, and her face blushed a little.
That was after Yuan Xuan had returned to the country, and she had not completed her studies. For someone who had been accustomed to being by Yuan Xuan’s side, those days were really hard for her.
She kept complaining through the phone that she was missing him and had, indeed, cried. Hence, though he appeared to be indifferent, yet he had actually sent his own brother over to sneak a peek at her?
Did she really matter to him, or was he merely feeling sympathetic for her?
Wu Ze noticed that Mu Chenyan’s attention had drifted off. He smiled and said, “Now that the both of you are finally together, it can be said that your wish has been fulfilled, and there’s no need for you to cry anymore.”
Mu Chenyan took in a deep breath. A trace of embarrassment flashed through her bright eyes. Wu Ze must have spotted her swollen eyes and was deliberately teasing her!
Mu Chenyan replied in a low voice, “When I was young, everything I did revolve around him. Now that I’m older, those days will cease to exist...”
Seeing how indifferently she commented on her past infatuation, Wu Ze was taken aback. These two years of suffering had truly hardened such a spirited girl as her beyond recognition!
Back then, everyone in Luo Hai knew that Yuan Xuan had a dominant spot in her heart. Apart from him, no one else could enter her heart...
Today, hearing her say that she did not care anymore in such a frank manner, even Wu Ze was not used to it!
Wu Ze responded in a calm voice, “Maybe Yuan Xuan has his predicaments.” “Both your days of hardship has passed now. I believe that he will treat you well in the future.”
As a friend, Wu Ze had always upheld his principles of being a gentleman. He wanted to defend Yuan Xuan.
Mu Chenyan lowered her head, pursed her lips, and smiled, “Let’s not talk about all these. It’s been long since I last saw Big Brother Wu. Let’s not have the topic revolve around Yuan Xuan, shall we?”
Wu Ze smiled. He moved his hand, picked up the bouquet of flowers on the table side, and presented it to Mu Chenyan. The handsome face was calm and composed as he said softly, “This is for you.”
Mu Chenyan noted that it was still the same kind of rose that he had given to her at the last cocktail party, except that there were many tiny daisies complementing it. This kind of odd combination caused her to smile.
He had exposed his intention unwittingly while trying to cover it up!
If it were a large bouquet of fiery red roses, she definitely would not dare to accept it. However, in this way, there was no reason for her to reject!
“Thanks!”
Mu Chenyan accepted the flowers, sniffed at them lightly, and said smilingly, “It’s a girl who had helped you to purchase them, right?”
Wu Ze was stunned for a moment. His black phoenix eyes stared at Mu Chenyan with questions.
“There’s still a whiff of the girl’s DAISY perfume left on the flowers.” “It’s a soft floral fragrant. The top notes are wild strawberry, violet leaf, and pink grapefruit; the heart notes are gardenia, violet, and jasmine; the base notes are musk and vanilla.” “She’s a really cute girl...”
Wu Ze was amused. “You women are really attentive to details. Such stuff is so difficult to be memorized, yet you actually remembered them so well!”
He did not understand women, more so about perfumes, but as he listened to Mu Chenyan mentioning the smell of the perfume like how he memorized those articles of law in such a pleasant manner, he was mind-blown!
The tip of Mu Chenyan’s fingers was slightly cold, her pretty big eyes twinkling a faint glow. She said quietly, “Actually, I don’t use any perfume. It’s just that my mother used to like these. Unfortunately, she won’t be able to use them now.”
Although Yan Mei’s situation had improved, she was not sure whether her mother would remain in a vegetative state forever. Imagining her using perfume was truly a wild wish!
Wu Ze did not manage to speak some consoling words as the waiter had come over to take their order, interrupting their conversation.
“Beautiful lady, the foie gras here is extremely delicious.”
While Wu Ze was passing the menu to Mu Chenyan, the tall, blond-haired, and blue-eyed waiter hurriedly recommended their signature dish using inarticulate Mandarin.
