Zhen Heng looked at her with relaxed eyes, and there were about ten kinds of breakfast pastries bought from a luxury hotel on the square coffee table.
"Osmanthus porridge, purple sweet potato cake, I remember you like sweet things, so I bought a few."
He said plainly, not feeling that buying breakfast so early for Lin Muyan from a far distance was praiseworthy, but rather quite ordinary.
He has always been good at taking care of people. Lin Muyan, who has been fortunate since childhood, sat down without any hesitation. "You bought so much, do you want to fatten me up like a pig? You haven't had breakfast either, let's eat together." Handing a pair of disposable chopsticks to Zhen Heng, Lin Muyan picked up a soup dumpling with her chopsticks. The fragrant and rich oil and water flowed down her chopsticks, and Zhen Heng quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her slightly damp hand.
"Why are you acting like a child, always wanting me to buy things for you?" The other person had a gentle yet slightly furrowed expression, like a helpless mother taking care of an ignorant child. Lin Muyan laughed, and before he could even react, the soup dumpling was already being fed to Zhen Heng. They used to play like this often when they were young.
Zhen Heng doesn't get angry, just bites when he opens his mouth, then looks at Lin Muyan with the same gentle expression. "Not fun at all," Lin Muyan sticks out her tongue and eats breakfast honestly. She didn't see Zhen Heng's left fist under the table slowly clenching and then slowly letting go.
Although she is not a glutton, the food on the table is very appetizing, so she couldn't help but eat a few more bites. Her stomach became a little round and she really couldn't eat anymore. She patted Zhen Heng's back and shook her head continuously. Zhen Heng didn't force her, seeing that she really couldn't eat anymore, so he packed up the leftovers and left a few untouched ones for Lin Muyan to eat later, and threw the rest in the trash.
It was almost time for peak office hours, and a few proactive star employees had already arrived early at the company building. Looking down from the top floor, it was impossible to ignore the excited fans waiting outside to catch a glimpse of their favorite stars.
Lin Muyan She glanced briefly and then withdrew her neck. She hadn't been to work for a few days, so she had accumulated quite a bit of work.
Zhen Heng Without disturbing her, he wiped the oil stains on the table, and then brought her a cup of iced latte with ice cubes.
Lin Muyan She naturally took it and took a sip. The cold sensation instantly surged to the top of her head, making her drowsy head instantly clear.
"Are you very busy recently?"
Zhen Heng saw that she wasn't looking at the documents in her hand and asked at the right time.
Lin Muyan shook her head. The company's operations are now on the right track, so as a decision-maker, she should be much more relaxed.
"My dad mentioned you to me yesterday. Do you want to find some time to visit? He seems to see you more as his goddaughter than his own son."
Zhen Heng chuckled at the memory of his father mentioning Lin Muyan, and said helplessly, "Sure, I was thinking of going too." Lin Muyan readily agreed, pulling out a calendar wedged in the corner of the table. "Let me check. I'll go the day after tomorrow. I have a meeting tomorrow, so I might be busy. Is there anything specific Uncle Zhen can eat now? Can he have some fruit?"
She circled a date on the calendar, marked it with "visit Uncle Zhen Heng," and without looking back, asked, "You coming is enough, no need to buy anything. You know my dad is really picky, it would be a waste to buy anything." Uncle Zhen is even pickier than her dad, a fact Lin Muyan had the privilege of witnessing, so she immediately gave up the idea of buying fruit.
After Zhen Heng left, Lin Muyan returned to the office, and Shen Yang also brought a wave of work with him. After a busy day, Lin Muyan felt like she had shed a layer of skin.
On the agreed day, Lin Muyan didn't expect Zhen Heng to arrive so early. She had just changed her clothes when she saw Zhen Heng already appearing in the company's corridor. "Let's go," Zhen Heng smiled and turned around. Lin Muyan swallowed back the words at the tip of her tongue and obediently followed behind.
Zhen Heng has been like a child from another family since childhood, and although Lin Muyan can be considered childhood friends with him, she grew up under the shadow of this childhood friend. Sitting properly in the passenger seat, Lin Muyan's bold personality seemed to be deliberately suppressed, and she unconsciously used her hand to straighten the lantern braids on both sides. Her skin is the kind of delicate white, as if it were sprinkled with crushed diamonds on white flour, clear, clean, and fragile.
Lin Muyan She has a pair of eyes with slightly upturned outer corners, the color of the pupils is not as dense as black, a bit lighter, somewhere between deep brown and amber. Her double eyelids are slightly compact, and even her left eye can be considered as having an inner double eyelid. But as long as she looks at someone, those eyes have an irresistible charm, as if they can steal that person's soul.
Zhen Heng His hand, which wanted to help her fasten her seatbelt, suddenly paused. His gaze quickly passed over those eyes that didn't seem to understand their own charm, and his breathing unconsciously became a little heavier.
He turned on the car's air conditioning and lowered the temperature a bit.
The Third City Hospital entrance, Zhen Heng drove his Land Rover into the parking lot inside.
Zhen's Father lived in the VIP ward, in a separate building next to the main building. This is a special recuperation ward set up for wealthy people, which is incomparable to the one Liu Er Bao previously stayed in.
"Godfather, I've come to see you."
Karate has never been Lin Muyan's style. She picked a few fresh-colored carnations and tied them together as a gift for the sick.
Zhen's Father, as the head of the Zhen Family and the leader of Zensun Group, was smiling kindly like an ordinary middle-aged man. When he saw Lin Muyan coming in, he chuckled and gestured for her to sit down.
"You've been back for so long and you still haven't come to see me. Godfather is very sad."
Zhen's Father Of course he was deliberately teasing her, Lin Muyan also followed by holding his arm and coquettishly shaking it, "godfather sad, Mu Yan will be even sadder. godfather, you don't even know how tired I've been recently. It's not that I don't want to come, I just can't come at all."
She complained like a child, and Zhen's Father listened with a smile. The elders, including Old Master Lin, had all heard about the mess at peak and, while they felt sorry, it wouldn't be a bad thing if Lin Yatou could benefit from it.
Old Master Lin was determined to cultivate his precious granddaughter. Thinking back to his private conversation with Old Master Lin a few days ago, Zhen's Father patted Lin Muyan's hair. "You've worked hard, Heng. Go wash some fruit for Mu Yan to eat. I heard it's a specialty from the southern region, and it tasted sweet when I tried it. You should like it."
Zhen Heng went out, and Zhen's Father immediately started chatting with Lin Muyan. As they talked about daily life, Zhen's Father was just as chatty as her grandfather. After a few sentences, Lin Muyan couldn't handle it and kept waving her hands.
"Godfather, I'll go check on how Heng's doing with washing the fruit."
Knowing that she couldn't bear it, Zhen's Father stopped chattering and became a little more serious.
"Mu Yan Ah, you've been avoiding finding a partner. Do you have someone you like in your heart? Are you waiting for him?"
Lin Muyan knew she couldn't escape this topic. She obediently sat in front of the bed and, as usual, bluntly said no. As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared in front of her eyes.
It flickered so quickly that she felt she must have been mistaken.
"godfather Most girls nowadays are not interested in marriage. Dating is something you do when you meet the right person. Right now, I just want to work and don't want to date."
Zhen's Father fell silent for a moment, then said, "godfather I'm not trying to pressure you, but you're a girl after all, and you're good-looking. There must be a lot of bad guys eyeing you. godfather is just worried that you have no dating experience. What if you get deceived?"
"Instead of making it easy for others, why not marry Heng? You two have known each other since childhood. If you're together, your grandfather and I can rest assured."
Lin Muyan has thought of many ways to end this topic, but she never expected Zhen's Father to stop here, and for a moment she forgot to answer.
Her stunned expression made Zhen's Father misunderstand, thinking that she did not reject it. His smile grew wider, "I'm talking about my own child, it's a bit like boasting, but you also know what kind of person Heng is. He is steady, intelligent, and most importantly, he genuinely cares for you. Even your godmother is jealous of how good he is to you."
"Godfather..."
Lin Muyan barely had time to interrupt Zhen's Father, "This kind of thing should be mutual. It's good that Heng is willing, but you shouldn't force it like this. Haven't you considered that Heng might not be willing?" She had known Zhen Heng for too long, so long that she had never thought of crossing that line, or even considered having a romantic relationship with him. It's like if I treated you as a brother, and you said you wanted to sleep with me, it's just as absurd.
" Heng is so much better than me. He's a young talent, and those who pursue him have to go around the earth a few times. You're just pushing him to me, making many women feel sad."
She forced a laugh twice, trying to change the subject, but just as she managed to calm down godfather, Zhen Heng, who was washing the fruit, came back.
As soon as he returned, Zhen's Father became energetic again.
"My son must be handsome and talented. Mu Yan, if you marry Heng, you won't lose out at all. If you really set a wedding date, I'll give half of my shares to your family as a dowry. My son is so outstanding, only you are worthy of him, Mu Yan. Godfather, I'm putting it out there today, Heng will only marry you in this lifetime, I won't agree to anyone else."
Do we need to be so serious? She hasn't agreed yet!
Lin Muyan sought help from Zhen Heng, hoping he could stop Zhen's Father from getting carried away with his thoughts.
Gave a big green apple to Lin Muyan, Zhen Heng took a step forward and blocked half of her, "Dad, I don't want to get married yet, and besides, Mu Yan and I have known each other since we were kids..."
"It's precisely because you've known each other for so long. I'm afraid the cooked duck will fly away. Over the years, while others have been making progress, you've just been standing still. Look, how many years have you been waiting? You're not in a hurry, but I am."
Zhen's Father pounded his chest in frustration. He was so helpful, why wasn't his son taking it seriously?
"I don't want to trouble Mu Yan. Take it slow, she will understand," Zhen Heng lowered his voice, not letting Lin Muyan hear, but Zhen's Father became even more furious at his words. "Wait, how much longer do we have to wait? Mu Yan, it's not godfather pressuring you, it's just that after all these years, godfather can't bear it anymore. Heng has liked you since you were ten, he has been waiting for you to grow up, waiting for you to mature, he has always been very serious about you." Zhen's Father continued speaking, but Lin Muyan stared blankly at the stiff figure in front of her, her mind a mess.
Zhen Heng Like her?
Still like her after more than ten years?
How is that possible?
Why doesn't she know at all?!
"Dad!"
Zhen Heng suddenly raised his voice, Zhen's Father opened his mouth and finally sighed in silence.
Lin Muyan turned to look at her, but avoided her gaze stiffly.
She didn't know what expression was the most appropriate at the moment.
There was a moment of disappointment in Zhen Heng, but he quickly regained his composure. "You don't have to worry about it. I remember you have a meeting at the company, I'll take you back."
He pretended not to see Lin Muyan's evasive movement, and simply stepped aside, gesturing for her to go first. Lin Muyan knew that this was his way of giving her an excuse, so in the midst of the chaos, she didn't refuse. She said goodbye to Zhen's Father and dazedly went downstairs. "I'll walk you..."
"I don't need it, I'm a bit confused, I want to be alone for a while." Lin Muyan shook her head. She didn't want to hurt anyone, but she didn't know what to do after learning about Zhen Heng's feelings. Especially after the words "like" appeared in her mind, the night of the convertible car echoed particularly clearly, Xiao Chen's face, lips, hands, and even his voice seemed to be right in front of her.
She's afraid that Zhen Heng will be even sadder if he finds out. "I know you must be very upset, but I can't let you take a taxi back like this. I promise not to ask, just quietly take you back." Zhen Heng looked sincerely into her eyes until Lin Muyan nodded in defeat, then he smiled again.
Just that smile didn't seem as bright as before, with a hint of bitterness.
Sitting in the car, Lin Muyan's eyes chose to focus on the right rearview mirror, the scenery in the mirror kept receding and being replaced, just like the various emotions surging and dissipating in her heart.
Soon, the car stopped downstairs at Peak Entertainment.
Lin Muyan sat in the passenger seat, staring blankly as she opened the car door. Just as she was about to get out, Zhen Heng couldn't help but reach out, but before he could touch her, he withdrew apologetically.
"I'm sorry, go back. If you feel troubled, I will choose to quietly not disturb you."
Lin Muyan glanced at him in silence for a few seconds. Just when Zhen Heng thought she was about to leave, she suddenly pulled open the car door and got in.
"I don't know how to say this to you. Give me some time, I'm a bit confused. I know godfather was right, if I were to get married, you are indeed my best choice. But I'm feeling really confused right now. I... I'm sorry Heng."
Lin Muyan couldn't deny it any longer. Since the day before yesterday, she had already realized that there might be someone else in her heart. It was precisely because of this that Zhen Heng's forced confession made her even more confused.
She truly appreciated Zhen Heng's goodness. If she really had feelings for someone else, she didn't deserve to be deeply loved by Zhen Heng.
"It's okay, I'm already very happy that you're willing to give me a chance."
Zhen Heng interrupted her before she could say anything more hurtful, "Go back to work, the law firm also has a case to handle. I have to go."
As the car door closed, Zhen Heng tightened his grip on the steering wheel with his left hand, leaving red marks on his fingers.
