Chapter 997
I didn’t say anything, I just wandered off a bit. Seeing this, she had work to do and didn’t say much more to me and got up to go about her work.
The case for Lanxi Village was finalised and work would start soon, so I would probably have to go over to Lanxi Village for the next while.
After packing up the office, Ouyang Nuo called, saying that he wanted to meet for dinner in the evening, before I could answer.
When I saw him looking at me, I thought he had something to do, so I spoke into the phone and said, “Wait for me!”
I then looked at Mu Shen at the door and said, “Mr. Mu, are you off work?”
He nodded, “What are you having for dinner?”
If he hadn’t asked, I would have forgotten that I was taking care of his three meals a day, and froze slightly, remembering that Ouyang Nuo also happened to be asking me out for dinner.
So I said, “I haven’t decided yet, what do you want to eat?”
He lowered his eyes slightly, “All is fine, it’s after work, let’s go!”
“Okay, you go down first, I’ll collect my things and come back in a bit.”
Seeing him leave, I spoke into the phone, “Ouyang Nuo!”
The other end of the phone hmmed and said, “Are you going to refuse my invitation?”
I held my forehead, a little heartbroken at her intelligence, and spoke, “Are you stupid, such a good opportunity, aren’t you going to take this diamond kingpin?”
“What does that mean?”
“It means that you have a particularly good opportunity right now, I’ll send you the address of Mr. Mu’s house, how about you cook in the evening, I’ll play the role, and we’ll have dinner together at Mr. Mu’s house?”
When she heard that, she was happy for a moment and said, “Really? Shen Shu, you’re my lucky star, wait, I’ll be right over!”
After hanging up the phone, I hurried out of the office and found Mu Shen’s car in the car park.
He seemed to be smoking in the car and smelled of smoke. I coughed a few times and said, “Something on your mind?”
He started the car and said indifferently, “No!”
I then drove on without saying a word, I shut up, I could see that he didn’t seem to be in a good mood, exactly because of what, I wasn’t quite sure.
Half an hour later, arriving at the villa, Mu Shen went straight to the calligraphy, I turned around in the kitchen, the dishes were all there, no need to buy.
Ouyang Nuo came with a big bag, I couldn’t help but say, “I’ve told you, no need to buy, why are you still buying.”
She blinked and said, “You need ingredients to cook, I didn’t know if you had them here, so I bought them all.” By the way, I just saw a familiar person next door to your house.
“Who is it?” I asked in passing as I took the dishes from her hand.
“It seems to be that assistant next to Fu Shen Yan, he seems to be moving!” The kitchen was all smart and she operated it smoothly, gesturing for me to wash the dishes.
I froze, a little puzzled, “Chen Yi moved in here?”
She nodded, already starting the ingredients.
I couldn’t help but be a bit stunned, the property prices in city A, although not as expensive as the capital, had risen to twenty thousand, he was already married with children, what was the point of buying a villa of tens of millions of dollars here?
The house is not often over, work is in the capital, this house to buy as an investment, just too much pressure, right!
I couldn’t figure out what to do, I didn’t think much of it, and followed Ouyang Nuo to play the hand.
Thinking of Valentine’s Day coming up, I couldn’t help but say, “What are you going to do for Tanabata?”
She looked at me sideways, “Have you thought about it?”
I nodded, “I’ve got a date with Linda about getting together for dinner.”
She chuckled, “I guarantee she’ll miss the date.”
Chapter 998
“What do you mean?”
“She should also be at the age of finding her second love, such a good holiday, she should go out with ambiguous people or something, when can’t little sisters have a date? Does it have to be a date on Tanabata?”
When I saw her filleting the fish, I couldn’t help but marvel at her knife skills and thought for a moment, “So what you’re implying is that you’re not going to spend Tanabata with me?”
She laughed, “Don’t think, when can I not ask you out, but on the eve? It’s such a nice day, of course I’m doing something that needs to be done!”
That’s true!
If I think about it, it seems like I’ll have to spend it all by myself, so thinking about it I kind of plan to go back to the capital.
When this project is finished and Fu Shen Yan and I have received our divorce papers, I’ll have to consider stabilizing in A City.
When the meal was almost done, Ouyang Nuo looked at me and said, “Wash your hands and go call the next door neighbour, we all know each other and we happen to be neighbours, we have cooked so many dishes today, consider it a reception for him.”
I almost forgot about it and was ready to go out after washing my hands, looking at her I said, “Mu Shen is on the first floor in the room on the left, you go and call.”
She hemmed and hawed and narrowed her eyes, “Can I take that to mean you’re creating an opportunity for me?”
I shrugged my shoulders, “Kindness and wisdom.”
This part of Mu Shen’s villa wasn’t exactly empty, the distance between each house wasn’t far, the front garden with a yard and the back garden was a fish pond or a swimming pool.
There was also only a wall between the two houses, and anyone calling from the balcony across the street could hear them.
After ringing the doorbell of the villa next door for a while, Chen Yi came to see the door. When he saw me, he froze slightly and spoke, “Madam, do you want something?”
I stared and laughed, “You know we’re neighbours?” Why else would he have asked me what I wanted to do instead of asking why I was here?
A little embarrassed, he avoided the subject and said, “Come in and sit down!”
“No need!” I laughed, “It’s dinner time, you’ve just moved in today and you probably haven’t cooked, why don’t you eat with me first?”
He smiled and gestured for me to come in and sit down anyway.
I had thought it was strange, but when I went in and saw the man sitting on the grey sofa reading a book I understood.
Dare I say it wasn’t Chen Yi who had moved in here, but Fu Shen Yan.
“Madam, let me pour you a cup of water!” Chen Yi spoke, his person already heading towards the pantry.
I stood in the living room, unable to help but feel a little embarrassed, thinking of Linda’s words, I paused and said, “Thank you for the salve at noon today!”
Fu Shen Yan looked at the book in his hand, turned a page, and opened his mouth in a non-shallow manner and answered, “Hmm!”
After that, there was not a word.
After a pause, I continued, “Are you planning to live over here?”
“Mmm!” Still a word.
I pursed my lips and continued to speak, “I don’t think you’ve eaten yet, we’ve made dinner and it’s ready, why don’t you eat together?”
He got up abruptly and, still not shallow, spoke, “Yes!”
Then, he put down his book and went out.
Chen Yi poured water and when he saw him go out, he froze and handed me the glass of water with a little embarrassment and said, “Madam, you have some water!”
I shook my head and said, “No need, you should come over for dinner too!”
He nodded and smiled, “Then I’ll trouble you.”
“You’re welcome!”
