After speaking, Liu Er Bao encouraged Zhen Heng with a nod and a fist-pumping gesture of support. Lin Muyan felt the person next to them stiffen, slowly turned their head, and dared not let their gaze linger on Zhen Heng at all. The hot pot on the table was still steaming.
The hot pot restaurant was still bustling with people, occasionally punctuated by the voices of customers calling for the waiter to add more dishes. Lin Muyan sat with her hands hanging between her legs, her head lowered like a primary school student caught doing something wrong by a parent. She bit her pink lips, and even her flamboyant red hair seemed much more obedient at this moment.
Zhen Heng glanced lightly at the top of her head, then silently picked up a piece of just-cooked and ripe beef and put it into her dipping sauce bowl, as if this kind of thing happened naturally all the time. He didn't embarrass Lin Muyan on the spot, but caught Zhou Shuhuan's teasing look from the corner of his eye, and adjusted his slightly wrinkled collar.
Liu Er Bao, who was thick-skinned, intended to say a few words, but his cuff under the table was lightly pulled by Song Xi next to him. She was stunned for a moment, mistaking the look that told her to eat obediently. "You're really something. You were just recommending him to me earlier, and now you're shy in front of him. Lawyer Zhen, after we finish the hotpot, if you have time, could you give us your autograph? My daughter Song Xi really likes you. She's watched your trial video at least ten times."
Liu Er Bao Hehe smiled, "It's fortunate that Sister Yan has good connections. Even working abroad, we can make friends like Lawyer Zhen. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had this opportunity."
Zhou Shuhuan was taken aback by her innocent expression, turned to look at the expressionless Zhen Heng, and then at Liu Er Bao, who didn't seem to realize she was being fooled. He awkwardly patted her shoulder and said, "Er Bao sis, I've found that you're easy to get along with, really, very genuine."
Liu Er Bao blushed as he stared at her, "It's okay, I'm a more practical person."
Zhou Shuhuan: "..."
The porcelain bowl across the table was almost being crushed by the mountain of meat. Just as Zhen Heng was about to add another chopstick of meat to it, Lin Muyan trembled and spoke before the meat mountain completely collapsed.
"I'm sorry, Heng, I didn't mean to hide it from you."
She just hasn't figured out how to tell him yet.
after all This point is quite awkward.
"Okay." Zhen Heng responded lightly, without showing any emotion.
Lin Muyan hesitated whether to say something again, but then heard Zhen Heng say, "You always liked to eat sweet and spicy skewers, why aren't you eating them now?"
"I am eating!"
Lin Muyan swiftly stuffed a piece of freshly scooped sweet and spicy skewer into her mouth, only to be stung by the scalding heat on the surface, causing her to blow on the skewer as it fell into the bowl, her eyes misting over with a faint layer of steam from the rising heat.
Zhen Heng No matter how much resentment there is, only heartache remains.
"Slow down, it's all yours."
He took a tissue and wanted to help her wipe the corner of her mouth as before, but halfway through, his raised wrist changed direction and he stuffed the tissue into her hand, then fell silent again.
Lin Muyan relaxed for a while, feeling a bit better, and then looked at Zhen Heng, who had a calm expression and a faint smile, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
This is what it feels like after the storm, everything is fine.
She and Zhen Heng have always been like this. When she causes trouble, Zhen Heng supports her. And every time she annoys him, he never stays angry for too long. In the end, he will still sigh helplessly and surrender to her.
"I'm sorry." Lin Muyan playfully blinked at Zhen Heng, relaxed, and pulled up the corners of her mouth mischievously, watching Zhen Heng look at her helplessly, grinning even more happily. "What does he do?" Zhen Heng asked.
Lin Muyan thought he wouldn't be interested, but after the surprise, she excitedly took out her phone and found Xiao Chen's moments. "He studies design," she quickly scrolled through the chat records and showed Zhen Heng a sketched drawing with edges that Xiao Chen had sent her a few days ago. "I think he's really great. Although he's just an Apprentice for now and still needs to hone his skills with his master, but look, these sketches are quite thoughtful. Even his master praised his talent."
When talking about Xiao Chen, Lin Muyan became more talkative. "Usually, my little one practices at home. This is a candid photo I took. Look how cute he is."
In the photo, a man is leaning on a drawing, lying on the drawing table. Half of his face is bathed in sunlight, with long eyelashes casting a dark shadow. His lips are perfectly plump, and his left hand is resting on the table, pressing down on an unfinished drawing. He appears relaxed yet reveals a hidden handsomeness.
"Darling? You're already calling each other so affectionately?"
Zhen Heng's voice tightened, and the fingers hanging under the table suddenly curled up, but the voice remained steady without any sway.
Lin Muyan laughed with a happy face, "We are still in the honeymoon period. We can't just meet and talk about you and me. That would be too awkward."
She continued to say a few more sentences, seemingly unable to stop boasting whenever it came to Xiao Chen's part.
Zhen Heng listened in silence, and Zhou Shuhuan who was beside him, leaned over at some point, glanced at Lin Muyan's phone, and his eyes lit up, "Wow, your boyfriend is quite wealthy!"
"No, he's just an Apprentice, he hasn't earned as much as I have."
Zhou Shuhuan frowned, leaned in again, and looked at Lin Muyan with a somewhat indescribable expression.
"Just say it."
Lin Muyan dislikes beating around the bush and only saying half of what needs to be said the most.
Zhou Shuhuan first glanced at Zhen Heng, seeing that he ignored him, then he rubbed his chin and put on a serious expression, but the corners of his mouth were upturned with a mischievous air, which ruined the deliberately created righteous look on his face.
"Do you know how much your boyfriend's pencil for drawing costs?" He suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question. Lin Muyan glanced at the photo and wondered, "Isn't it just a regular pencil that has been used for a long time? What's the problem?"
"Leak! Big leak, special leak!"
Zhou Shuhuan quickly crossed his arms in front of him, " Sister Yan, you really don't know how to appreciate things!"
Zhen Heng glanced at him without a word, and Zhou Shuhuan cleared his throat, "This is a limited edition pencil from Country Rtezebu, with a special metal casing. If I remember correctly, this one is the most classic BR series that is no longer available on the market. Tsk tsk, just this little bit, and it's worth this much."
He spread his five fingers wide open.
"Fifty?" Liu Er Bao asked tentatively.
Zhou Shuhuan sneered, "Huh, fifty? Fifty wouldn't even be enough to match it with a pen cap, five thousand! At least five thousand! If it's for auction, it's priceless and extremely expensive."
"It's impossible."
Lin Muyan didn't even need to think about it, and immediately denied it.
She knew her boyfriend best, Xiao Chen was just a working man who had to pay off a car loan for twenty years. How could he possibly be willing to spend two months' salary on such an impractical thing!
"My darling is very poor," she looked at Zhou Shuhuan with suspicion, "He went to the supermarket with me the day before yesterday, and the dumplings he bought were all buy one get one free for fifteen yuan a bag. He's been wearing the same pair of pants for almost ten years. What you said is simply impossible."
"Sis, I'm sure I didn't misjudge."
He said firmly, and Lin Muyan laughed even more, "Then it must be fake. He can't afford such expensive pens. I guess he bought imitation goods online. It's a mixed bag at night now. You can buy anything you want."
She shook her head while smiling.
Zhou Shuhuan looked depressed and glanced at Zhen Heng beside him. Seeing the slight shake of his head, he felt stifled and pursed his lips, "Sister is right, maybe I really misjudged."
Coincidentally, Song Xi was feeling unwell in her stomach, so Liu Er Bao accompanied her to the restroom. Lin Muyan glanced around and kicked Zhou Shuhuan's leg. Seeing him exaggeratedly howling, she said impatiently, "You are not allowed to talk about the peak boss matter to anyone, got it?"
"They don't know?" Zhou Shuhuan nodded in the direction of the bathroom, catching Lin Muyan's knowing expression and giving a thumbs-up. "No problem, sis, my lips are sealed."
Zhen Heng frowned slightly as he saw Lin Muyan suddenly searching online for the purchase of authentic pencils. "You didn't tell him, are you from the Lin family?"
Lin Muyan had always had plenty of money, so she could buy whatever she wanted. Seeing Zhen Heng looking conflicted made her uncomfortable.
"Not yet, I want to slowly tell him after we've been dating for a while." Lin Muyan lightly bit her finger, quickly flipped through another page, and then seemed to realize that Zhen Heng was still looking at her. She smiled up at him, "Not now, I'm afraid it will scare him."
She inadvertently glanced at the price on the picture, with a hint of pity in her voice, "I thought my darling didn't care much about these things. Alas, I really let him down. Let's wait a while, and then I'll tell him. By then, I'll give him all the painting tools he hasn't been willing to buy but loves so much. I want to give him the best and most expensive."
Lin Muyan's heart was clearly all focused on this little man named Xiao Chen. Zhen Heng withdrew his gaze indifferently, staring coldly at the extinguished mandarin duck pot.
Even he thought that Mu Yan would only like someone who excelled in every aspect, even if it wasn't him, it would be someone outstanding in another field. But now she has found herself an apprentice who hasn't even made it as a designer... Zhen Heng's lips tightened into a straight line. Not to mention that the old man would be furious, even he...
"Mu Yan, you like him so much, but what about him?"
Zhen Heng originally wanted to say that such a humble person is not worthy of her, but when he saw Lin Muyan's smile, he couldn't continue.
"Of course, I like him to death," Lin Muyan said without any embarrassment. "When there's a chance in the future, I'll introduce you to him, and then you'll know. He can't be away from me for even a minute."
Hotpot and relaxation, but Song Xi suddenly received a call from her advisor to return to school, so the group dispersed. Watching Song Xi hurriedly leave, Zhen Heng took the initiative to say to Lin Muyan, "Perfect timing, I also want to meet your new boyfriend. Get in the car, I'll take you." "Weren't you out with Zhou Shuhuan? It's not on your way to take us, is it?"
Lin Muyan still remembers that the direction of the law firm is opposite to her apartment.
"Hey, Sister Yan!" Liu Er Bao grabbed her arm and glanced at the gentle and smiling Zhen Heng across the street. "Lawyer Zhen even offered to drive us. It's not good to refuse his kindness, right, Lawyer Zhen?"
"My senior brother doesn't offer rides to just anyone," Zhou Shuhuan chimed in from the side.
Lin Muyan was stared at by three people, and after a while of standoff, she sighed.
"Alright, thank you Heng for the trouble."
Zhen Heng smiled lightly, "It's no trouble."
"You never cause any trouble for me."
...
"Another date?" Wen Zimo eyed his brother, who was picking out clothes, and said sarcastically, "You guys sure have a lot of dates."
Xiao Chen compared the two sets of outfits in his hand, frowned, and tossed one set onto the bed. Then he pulled out another set and compared it in front of the mirror. He heard Wen Zimo teasing him and responded with a pleased expression, "You both have girlfriends and still don't go on dates? What a waste."
He couldn't wait to spend every moment with Lin Muyan.
Wen Zimo clicked his tongue a few times, then turned to glance outside at the balcony. Suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise, "Hey? Isn't that Lin Muyan? Why is there a guy next to her?"
Before his words had even finished, he felt a shadow beside him, and then a gloomy face appeared in his sight.
"Who is this person?" was questioned by Fierce God and Evil Spirit.
Wen Zimo was speechless. How would I know!
Below the apartment building, there are handsome men and beautiful women that are pleasing to the eye. The parking gate at Wufu Hua City was unfortunately hit by a newcomer from the apartment today. Lin Muyan and the others were in the middle of filing a claim when they arrived, blocking the entrance and causing a commotion. "Let's just park here and make plans for next time."
Lin Muyan Thinking that it's not convenient to park nearby, and the apartment is adjacent to a main road, I wanted to let Zhen Heng and them go first, to avoid unnecessary fines from the traffic police. Lately, she has been pretending to be poor and sensitive to money. "We agreed to send you home, and besides, you haven't invited me to see your new home yet."
Zhen Heng threw the car keys to Zhou Shuhuan and smiled kindly, "My junior brother also wants to practice driving."
Zhou Shuhuan instantly felt a chill down his spine.
Leading Zhen Heng into the elevator, Lin Muyan saw him looking around and couldn't help but joke, "If you like it so much, buy a place one day, and we'll be neighbors again."
"Okay," Zhen Heng said with a smile.
Because the elevator had recently undergone a major renovation, its speed had increased significantly. In less than three minutes, it had reached the 32nd floor.
While Lin Muyan was talking to Zhen Heng, they suddenly heard Liu Er Bao say, "Sister Yan, your Big Baby is here."
She teased with a hint of playfulness, Lin Muyan has been calling Xiao Chen "Big baby" all day since they talked about romantic relationship, even someone like her who has a one-sided crush can't stand it anymore. "Baby, why did you come down?" Lin Muyan turned her head and saw Xiao Chen standing at the door, and immediately ran over to hug him with a smile.
Xiao Chen staggered as she collided with him, and he caught her waist with one hand, his expression soft. "Hmm, I missed you."
His soft bangs brushed against his forehead, as if he had just washed his hair, and a faint scent of shower gel lingered on him. There was a faint smile on his lips, but when he looked up, his gaze passed straight through Lin Muyan in his arms and landed on Zhen Heng in front of the elevator.
Unlike his own relaxed and casual outfit, the man in the suit was tightly bound, and his inverted triangle figure was particularly charming. How could such a man appear next to his Mumu at home?
Xiao Chen squinted his eyes.
Xiao Chen was sizing up Zhen Heng, who was also sizing up the seemingly harmless tall man in front of him, the poor apprentice mentioned by Mu Yan.
