"Is that designer not good? I knew it, just looks old-fashioned, not at all like someone with creativity."
Linbo stayed silent on the side, not saying a word.
He was already very used to his master's various reactions.
"Grandpa, you disturbed me while I was watching a movie."
In the dark movie theater, the voice of Lin Muyan suddenly sounded, cold and chilling, as if it had merged into the horror movie being played, without any warmth.
"Oh, Grandpa just came to ask if you want some fruit juice? The cook just bought watermelon today, it's really sweet."
Lin Muyan Turning back, the light-colored eyes were shining brightly from the screen's glare, "No need, Grandpa. I just want to quietly watch for a while."
"Oh, you watch, you watch yours."
Old Master Lin chuckled as he exited, pulling the curtain back down.
The theater has returned to its previous darkness. Lin Muyan grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into her mouth, watching the movie, but her thoughts had already drifted far away. She was so absent-minded that she didn't even notice the popcorn spilling onto her.
When she came out of the theater, it was already two hours later.
Old Master Lin was playing chess with Linbo. When he saw his granddaughter, he happily asked her to take over, but Lin Muyan flatly refused.
"Grandpa, I'm going upstairs."
Dragging her long skirt, she swayed back to her room.
The formal dress she was wearing was the cheapest one she could find in her closet.
The neckline goes all the way down to the hem, all adorned with small diamonds. The light yellow evening gown is casually used by her as sleepwear, dragging it back and forth.
Lin Muyan bored, lying on the chaise lounge she moved to the balcony, absentmindedly rubbing her phone back and forth between the lock screen and the interface.
Even if Lin's family assets, she could live for several generations without having to work hard in her lifetime.
Lin Muyan It's very clear, even if she doesn't work hard, Old Master Lin will support her for a lifetime, but it's really meaningless. Without pursuit, no worries, buy whatever you want, no motivation at all. She knows that if she said this to her best friend, they would definitely laugh at her for being affected. This is the happiness that others long for all their lives, but she is annoyed by it.
Lin Muyan sighed, even the warm sunshine seemed lazy. She tugged at the fringe of her skirt, sitting cross-legged. The jewelry box on the table was open, and the bee-shaped earrings inside sparkled in the light, reflecting the expensive and dazzling nature of diamonds.
If it were a few days ago, she would probably be squatting at the roadside stall, haggling with the stall owner while holding onto Apprentice Xiao Chen. She fiddled with the bee-shaped earring, and the price on it made her already tense lips press down slightly. "If only I could have disappeared yesterday."
Just one day has passed, and she already started to miss the days when she and Xiao Chen, who was still an Apprentice, were so financially tight that they had to count every penny, yet every word they exchanged was filled with happiness. Lin Muyan didn't come out of her room until 1 o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as she pushed the door open, she heard her grandfather's hearty laughter downstairs. Who could it be?
She walked to the staircase in wonder, only to see the old man, who seemed particularly happy, patting the other person's shoulder with a relaxed and joyful expression. There aren't many people who can make the old man relax. Just as Lin Muyan was thinking about the candidate in her mind, the person turned their face and seemed to have timed it perfectly, meeting her gaze with a faint smile.
Old Master Lin As soon as he saw his granddaughter come down, he happily found an excuse and gave the first floor to the two younger generations.
Lin Muyan didn't mind, but Zhen Heng looked at her and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Just now, Grandfather Lin asked me if you've changed your taste and don't like watching movies anymore."
Glancing at the grandfather who was still trying to eavesdrop in the corner, Lin Muyan silently withdrew her gaze and said, "Just like that, and you?"
She felt a little regretful after asking, as Zhen Heng had confessed to her before. "It's okay, I've been quite busy with work lately," Zhen Heng tactfully changed the subject. "Peak has been feeling down recently too. Don't shoulder all the burden yourself. Some things should be delegated to subordinates. Otherwise, why would such a big company hire them?" Lin Muyan chuckled.
"This is right, there's nothing that can't be overcome, and no one is worth sacrificing your good mood for."
Seeing through it at a glance, Lin Muyan pursed her lips.
Zhen Heng smiled, "Are you bored staying at home? Do you want to go out with me for a day? Just to... relax?"
He looked up at Lin Muyan and added with a smile, "You don't need to spend money, I'll reimburse you." Lin Muyan relaxed and smiled. "Let's go eat first then. I have a great recommendation, I guarantee you'll get addicted after eating there."
Zhen Heng took Lin Muyan to a newly opened Western restaurant called "Stay" in French. "This restaurant was opened by my friend in memory of when he met his wife," he explained. As soon as they entered, they were warmly welcomed by the boss. Lin Muyan obediently followed him and witnessed the boss giving a warm kiss to a pregnant woman who had just walked out of the restaurant.
Zhen Heng said this without avoiding people, and the couple who owned the shop seemed to be indifferent to others, kissing passionately.
Lin Muyan felt that her face must be red, and thought to herself that the French really are... passionate.
Zhen Heng glanced at her sideways, then quickly looked away, slightly curling his lips.
Not long after they were seated, the restaurant gradually began to fill up. It was obvious that this restaurant was quite popular, as there was already a queue forming after just ten minutes. Lin Muyan was starting to feel a bit hungry and, after taking a bite of the bread in front of her, she felt like trying the Wellington Beefsteak on the table.
She held the knife and fork, but Zhen Heng had already helped her cut the steak into bite-sized pieces. He naturally swapped the pieces over to her. He's always been good at taking care of people. Lin Muyan took a bite and was instantly surprised by the mouthful of meat juice. She licked her lips and was quickly enticed by the taste of the mushroom puree with foie gras sauce wrapped around the outer layer of the steak, which opened up her appetite.
Zhen Heng took care of her patiently, waiting for Lin Muyan to finish eating before asking the boss to bring the dessert. Lin Muyan has a sweet tooth, so he picked an opera cake for her, a classic French dessert. "Are you willing to tell me now why you're not happy?"
Zhen Heng handed the tissue to Lin Muyan and asked softly. He originally wanted to help her wipe, but he was afraid that doing so would make her feel burdened. After all, he is not suitable to reveal himself too openly at the moment. Lin Muyan wiped her mouth, hesitated, and, to be fair, this was not something to tell Zhen Heng, but she really had no one else to talk to.
" Heng, do you know what I can't stand the most?" She suddenly looked at Zhen Heng with sparkling eyes. Zhen Heng felt a tightness in his throat, but quickly suppressed his emotions and said gently, "Being lied to. I used to tease you on purpose, and you refused to see me for a month out of anger."
It seems like he was thinking of his childhood, and he smiled gently.
Lin Muyan's face turned red and she felt a little embarrassed, "That was in the past, everyone grows up."
"Yeah, thankfully we've grown up, otherwise I'd still be that mischievous little girl..."
" Heng!"
"Master, let's talk while we eat. I'm hungry, and without food, I won't have the energy to discuss matters."
Cheng Young pointed to a western restaurant on the left, where a few people were waiting in line with numbered cards.
"There are too many people."
"It's okay, I have VIP, I come here often." Cheng Young was afraid Xiao Chen would leave, so she volunteered and quickly said something to the waiter at the door, then pulled Xiao Chen inside with a smile.
The seating inside the restaurant was very private, with soft music and the exquisite French dishes brought by the waiters, creating an extremely ambiguous atmosphere.
Xiao Chen paused for a moment, and in his mind, he briefly thought about bringing Lin Muyan here next time, then he pursed his lips in the next instant. Cheng Young naturally didn't notice his momentary reaction. She smiled and asked the waiter for her reserved table, then briefly communicated with Xiao Chen about the dishes he wanted before letting the waiter go to serve the food. This was a place she had spent a lot of time finding as a perfect dating spot.
I heard that the chances of couples getting married after visiting here are around 80%. If she could be with Xiao Chen... Cheng Young couldn't hide his joy.
"The theme of this exhibition has changed. Our previous designs were more inclined towards Guofeng, but the organizers hope to make the style more internationalization. Here, I think your design can..."
Xiao Chen did not receive her signal of love. It would be a while before the ordered meal arrived, so he quickly started working.
He didn't want to participate in this exhibition, but he owed a favor to the organizers, so he had to agree.
Xiao Chen has always been serious about his work. He made a few simple marks on the design draft to indicate to Cheng Young for feedback. Because this time the organizer hopes Cheng Young will be the highlight, Xiao Chen is more of a supervisor. So when Cheng Young asked to talk about the design problems he encountered, he agreed.
"Master, look at all the lovers here."
Cheng Young looked around with a jealous expression on her face. Everyone was in pairs. She withdrew her gaze and blinked at Xiao Chen.
"Oh, you are pursuing too much slimness in the waistline, the model may not be very comfortable. You need to make modifications here..."
"Master!"
Cheng Young helplessly called out to him, and seeing Xiao Chen impatiently looking over, he smiled and said, "We've been discussing all the way here, let's eat first and then continue our discussion, okay?"
Xiao Chen really wanted to say no, but after hesitating for a moment, he nodded.
He was indeed a little hungry.
Since morning found out that Lin Muyan left, he hasn't eaten anything until now.
Thinking of Lin Muyan, his expression became even more gloomy, until...
"It's such a coincidence, you must be the master's girlfriend, right? Hey, who's this guy next to you?"
Cheng Young Suddenly, a surprised voice pulled him back from his thoughts. Xiao Chen stared blankly at the transformed Lin Muyan in Western-style clothing, looking every bit the wealthy young lady, and at the man beside her, Zhen Heng. His eyes turned cold in an instant. "You're mistaken," Lin Muyan said firmly. "He is my ex-boyfriend."
She pointed at the sullen Xiao Chen, then turned to look at Zhen Heng, raising her lips, "This is my friend."
"You move fast, just broke up yesterday, and already found a new one today. Xiao designer, I really underestimated you," Zhen Heng said.
Lin Muyan stiffly pulled her lips, suppressing her expression to avoid looking too sour.
