"Do you want to watch a movie? I want to experience everything a young couple should do as quickly as possible, and then rush to marry you!"
Mu Beiyao was taken aback by Lu Xiangzhuang's honesty.
"Although I'm a bit older and you're not exactly young either, there's no need to rush," Mu Beiyao advised.
Lu Xiangzhuang was incredibly stubborn. "A man who's been single for years suddenly has a girlfriend—don't you think it might be dangerous, like a wolf starved for affection?"
Mu Beiyao raised an eyebrow. "Are you implying something?"
"Cough, cough! I have a little cinema! If you're not tired, how about we watch a movie together?"
"My sofa is quite nice too. If you get tired, you can rest for a bit! Otherwise, you'll be out of sorts for work tomorrow!"
Naturally, Lu Xiangzhuang wouldn't refuse. They moved to the living room, where he held his beloved woman close as they projected a classic romance film on the screen. Occasionally, they shared snacks, making life feel incredibly pleasant!
In comparison, the years he spent as a single man felt like wasted time—just passing the days without purpose!
Gradually, Mu Beiyao fell asleep during the movie, snuggling against Lu Xiangzhuang's shoulder.
As he watched the light of dawn appear in the sky, Lu Xiangzhuang picked up the remote control from the table and lowered the curtains, plunging the room back into darkness.
A slight tilt of his head revealed Mu Beiyao's delicate face. He remembered how he used to feel tense and on edge around her, always like a little firecracker ready to explode.
He never expected that one day he would have her curled up in his arms like a soft little cat.
Gently, Lu Xiangzhuang adjusted Mu Beiyao's position, propping her up with a cushion so she could rest on his lap.
Before long, he too drifted off into a light sleep!
At eight o'clock in the morning, Lu Xiangzhuang's biological clock woke him up on time. However, seeing Mu Beiyao sleeping soundly made him hesitate to move.
Even though he had only rested for less than two hours, he felt invigorated!
He even thought about taking a day off today to stay here with her.
But just a few minutes later, sounds came from the entrance—someone was approaching with such familiarity that it was clear they were not a stranger!
He couldn't believe they had arrived so quickly!
Lu Xiangzhuang gently tapped Mu Beiyao's shoulder and whispered softly in her ear, "Someone's here; do you want to wake up?"
Su Xing paused as he stepped in after changing his shoes. Was that a man's voice? He couldn't be hearing things this early in the morning!
Upon closer inspection, he saw that Mu Beiyao was indeed wearing his clothes. "Oh no! Am I interrupting something?" Su Xing thought to himself in shock.
He seemed to have notified someone else as well.
"Uh, hi! President Lu, long time no see! We just met yesterday, haha! I'm here to bring you breakfast."
"I know, I know, I'll forget the password tomorrow! I've also given you the spare key. I promise I won't disturb you so abruptly next time!"
Mu Beiyao was still in a deep sleep, the man's gentle voice lingering in her dreams, making her reluctant to wake up.
Suddenly, she sensed someone entering the room. Mu Beiyao rolled over and grabbed a pillow to cover her head.
Lu Xiangzhuang inhaled sharply! Was this woman really so deep in sleep that she couldn't be roused?
But that wasn't the main point; the main point was that after Mu Beiyao lifted the pillow, her face ended up buried between his waist and abdomen! Wasn't that a bit too much for early morning?
Su Xing, as someone who had been through this before, immediately understood what he was holding in his hands—breakfast—and wasn't sure if he should just put it down.
Feeling a bit flustered, he turned around but then heard the sound of a door opening behind him.
"Sister Xing, you’re here already! Did you bring me my favorite bun?"
"I tell you, I woke up last night craving it so badly, but I thought I should sleep a bit more. If you hadn't mentioned buying breakfast this morning, I definitely wouldn't have gotten out of bed to drive all this way to see you guys."
"Who? Whose house is this? Am I still dreaming?" Lu Xiangyi said as she entered and immediately saw her brother’s frustrated face.
At first glance, an experienced girl like her thought about how they should probably hide in the car instead of being here. Shouldn’t they be more discreet? Seeing how sweet they were together?
"Let’s get out of here! Is my brother unable to stand up?" Lu Xiangyi's words made Lu Xiangzhuang's face darken even more!
Mu Beiyao felt as if she had been poked in the face and suddenly realized she was experiencing a major social embarrassment!
"Can I get up? How do I get up? What are we supposed to say after getting up?" Mu Beiyao felt like she was about to shut down!
Su Xing clearly sensed that his friend’s body had stiffened as well!
"Uh, I've brought breakfast for you, Xiang Yi, but I forgot to buy that bun you wanted. Let’s go out to eat and then head to the office!"
"Come on!" Lu Xiangyi laughed, and Lu Xiangzhuang wanted to hit her just like when they were kids!
Lu Xiangzhuang maintained his gentlemanly demeanor: "Miss Su, wait! If you have time tonight, I'll treat you both to dinner!"
"Sure! It's been a while since I've had a meal treated by my brother! Let’s make him pay dearly!"
Lu Xiangzhuang couldn't be bothered with his sister's antics! Su Xing politely led the not-so-small girl out of the room!
Now only two people remained inside! Mu Beiyao practically bounced off him and jumped from one sofa to another single chair.
Mu Beiyao felt utterly humiliated, unable to face anyone or even go to work. It was a moment of despair, and he wanted to cry without tears.
At that moment, Su Xing was being considerate, but he knew that once they were alone, Mu Beiyao's carefully crafted facade would likely crumble.
Lu Xiangzhuang, clearly in a similar predicament, exclaimed, "I need to use the restroom! Just a moment, I'll have my assistant bring over a suit for you to hold onto!" He awkwardly rubbed his nose, feeling the embarrassment wash over him.
Mu Beiyao pouted, too shy to speak or even look him in the eye. After a while, it dawned on him that his assistant was coming to deliver clothes. It was all too obvious what was happening, but did he really have to deliver them to the restroom?
What a life! It felt like an endless cycle of discovery and embarrassment.
He sat on the sofa in a daze for more than ten minutes until someone knocked on the door with the clothes. To his surprise, another person followed behind the delivery.
"Oh no! Please spare me! I can't handle such a complicated situation!"
"Hey sis! Who's sending you stuff this early? Whose car is this? Mom and Dad insisted I come with them to see you today!"
"This is the nourishing soup Mom made for you last night! Looks like our family is having a hearty breakfast here today!"
Mu Beiming chatted away as he entered the room.
After Mu Beiyao took the clothes from the assistant, that person turned around and greeted him before leaving.
Mu Beiming's mind raced as he thought, "Why does this person look so familiar? But they’re not someone who usually hangs around my sister!"
"Yao Yao, how did you get so thin? You were supposed to be home yesterday! Mom is worried sick! Your brother said you were planning some sort of isolation!"
Today I finally realized that you just wanted to sleep soundly and didn’t want to hear me nagging!
Mu Beiyao’s mother and Du's Dad scrutinized him from both sides before ushering him into the house.
"Hey sis, I need to use the bathroom! Mom pushed me out this early! Can I go to your room? I don’t want your friends to think poorly of me!"
