When Mu Zixi and her daughter met, Shen Xiangmi missed her mother. This kind of longing made her feel lonely in the downtown area. When she was lonely and restless, someone was restless because of her. This person was Liu Songming.
Ever since Liu Songming met Shen Xiangmi, he had been unable to forget her. However, he was worried that Shen Xiangmi would dislike him, so he held back and did not look for her.
On this day, Shen Xiangmi's reply to the foreigner's email was wrong and she sent another email, causing her to get off work a little late. Before this, Liu Songming had been waiting for Shen Xiangmi to get off work. He came out of the cafeteria on time and pretended to casually follow her home. On the one hand, he wished that he could silently look at her back every day. On the other hand, he wanted to see if anyone else would bully her. If there was, he could act out the scene of a hero saving a damsel in distress again at any time. He had been waiting for her for a long time today, and he was a little anxious. Could it be that she had been blocked by Shi Hongsheng in the company? Just as he was about to go to the company to look for Shen Xiangmi, Shen Xiangmi walked out with a tired face.
"Xiangmi, I heard that Shi Hongsheng will be coming back from a business trip in America tomorrow!”
"Yes."
"I was worried that he would make things difficult for you, so I wanted to discuss it with you after you got off work.”
"Thank you for your concern.”
"Previously, I told him that you're my girlfriend. It wouldn't be good if he saw you alone after work. I'll wait for you after work in the future, and then we'll go back together.”
"Yes, thank you." Shen Xiangmi felt that Liu Songming was right. No matter how much she guarded against that old pervert, Shi Hongsheng, it might not help. However, this was not a solution. It was imperative for her to find a new job and leave this company. Only by leaving the wolf's den could she truly feel at ease.
"You're welcome. It's nothing." Liu Songming was very happy to see Shen Xiangmi agree. In the future, he would be able to walk by Shen Xiangmi's side openly and be her guardian angel.
"I've always wanted to treat you to a meal to thank you for the birthday cake you gave me last time.”Shen Xiangmi thought that since she had not resigned yet, she could ask him for help, but she could not let him help her for nothing. When she resigned, she would return it all. She was not someone who owed others favors.
"Alright." Shen Xiangmi actually wanted to treat him to a meal. He was a little overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, so he agreed without thinking. He wanted to have dinner with her, but he would never let her foot the bill. Even if she was just a passer-by in his life, he felt very happy to have such a beautiful woman passing by. Even if he could only remember her in the future, he would be happy to do so. At this moment, he did not have any higher expectations. He could tell that she was not interested in him. He only wanted to protect her silently, one day at a time.
"Okay, then on Saturday, let's meet at 11 o'clock at the Qinxin Restaurant on Yichun Road.”
"Alright."
The two of them chatted as they talked. Shen Xiangmi had a habit of replying with an " hmm ". She had never had much to say to men. Liu Songming kept looking for topics to chat with Shen Xiangmi. Shen Xiangmi learned that Liu Songming was a chef at Mika. He also had a younger brother who was also in Xiangfu. They rented a house on Guangping Road.
Liu Songming reluctantly said goodbye to Shen Xiangmi. He watched her back slowly fade out of his sight until she disappeared. Only then did he hurry home.
Guangping Road.
It was a two-bedroom suite with a living room. The interior was simply decorated. Although it was not luxurious or exquisite, it was especially clean and refreshing. This was the home that Liu Songming and Liu Songguang had rented for nearly five years.
"Brother, you're dressed so meticulously today. Where are you going? Are you going on a date with your future sister-in-law?”Liu Songguang asked jokingly when he saw his brother wearing the most expensive dark blue tie he had given him for the first time today and splitting his hair back and forth in front of the mirror.
"What nonsense are you talking about? A friend invited me to Qinxin Restaurant for dinner.
"Really? I'm going to Qinxin Building too. Luo Yijie asked me to go there.”
"Alright."
In the most remote corner of Qinxin Building, Shen Xiangmi and Mu Zixi were already sitting there.
Liu Songming and his brother came to Qinxin Building. Liu Songguang looked around and did not see Luo Yijie, so he said,""Brother, can you introduce me to your friend? It's easier to have more friends."
"Brother, maybe in the future. I just got to know her now. When the time is right, I'll definitely introduce her to you.”
"Alright then!" Although Liu Songguang replied nicely, he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart. He thought that he could find an opportunity to peek at it later!
"Okay, then I'll go over first."
"Okay, I'll wait for Luo Yijie at the door.”
"Alright." Liu Songming entered the table number on his phone. He was very excited when he saw Shen Xiangmi, but his heart turned cold when he saw Mu Zixi beside her. He tried his best to remain calm and walked gracefully to the two of them. When they saw him, the two girls stood up politely.
"Hello, I'm sorry I'm late and made you wait.”
"It's fine. Let me introduce you. Zixi, this is my colleague, Liu Songming. Liu Songming, this is my best friend, Mu Zixi.”
"Hello, nice to meet you." Although Shen Xiangmi's introduction had added the word 'Liu', Liu Songming felt that his position in her heart was not as good as Mu Zixi's, and he was a little disappointed, but he did not show it at all.
"Nice to meet you." Mu Zixi replied as she quickly sized him up. She thought that he was not bad. He was modest and polite, handsome, and had a good figure. If he and Shen Xiangmi could develop well, perhaps Shen Xiangmi would forget about Jiang Qing. She had to matchmake them.
"By the way, you guys order. I have an emergency, so I'll leave first.”Mu Zixi took this opportunity to walk around outside the building.
"Okay, okay. Then go and come back quickly." Shen Xiangmi looked at her with longing eyes.
"Alright." Of course, Mu Zixi understood Shen Xiangmi's gaze, but she pretended not to.
Liu Songguang was also looking for Liu Songming at this time. He peeked and saw that the person his brother was dating was Mu Zixi. He was shocked. When he saw another girl, he heaved a sigh of relief. Liu Songguang wondered how his brother knew Mu Zixi. If the woman her brother liked was Mu Zixi, he would be in big trouble. No, it couldn't be Mu Zixi. It should be that girl. When he saw Shen Xiangmi's beautiful face and graceful figure, he was immediately filled with confidence and heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Mu Zixi walk out, Liu Songguang quickly turned around.
Mu Zixi wanted to leave more time for Shen Xiangmi and Liu Songming to be alone, so she wandered around the street. She was supposed to visit her mother this weekend, but Mother Mu said that she had found a job that was not tiring. She had to work on the weekends and was only free at night, so she accompanied Shen Xiangmi here first. Mu Zixi estimated that twenty minutes had passed. It was long enough before he walked in. She walked to the door and saw Luo Yijie and Liu Songguang whispering something. These two people who were usually rude to her, she also treated them as air. Other than a trace of curiosity as to why they were walking together, she couldn't be bothered with them and walked straight in. Luo Yijie obviously saw Mu Zixi. She was stunned for a moment and immediately went to eat to cover herself. "Why is she here?" she asked after Mu Zixi had walked far away.”
"I'm not sure about that."
"I don't want to see this woman for even a second. Do you have any quick and good way to help me chase her away?”
"Well, I only know that she reports Manager Long's schedule to Lu Wanli every day. I don't know if Manager Long will chase her away if she tells him about this.”
"This is good. Longfei hates people supervising him the most. He hates Lu Wanli the most. It's best if he has other things to use together.”Luo Yijie's eyes were filled with hatred and pride. She seemed to see Mu Zixi's face full of tears as she pitifully left the company with the box.
"There's nothing else. If it's okay, I'll help you do it immediately.”
"Alright, think of a way to let Long Fei know. The sooner the better.”
"Alright."
When Mu Zixi returned to the table, the dishes were already served, but none of them had started eating.
"Zixi, why are you so late? I met a colleague in the toilet just now and chatted with her.”
"You're here. Let's eat!" Shen Xiangmi saw through Mu Zixi's thoughts. She was a little angry, but when she thought that Mu Zixi was doing this for her own good, she did not show it at all and only said lightly.
"Yes."
Liu Songming was very particular and attentive. He waited for the two girls to start eating before he started eating. He was extremely refined.
Mu Zixi saw Liu Songming looking at Shen Xiangmi with an exceptionally gentle gaze, full of honey. She was secretly happy. She felt that there was definitely something going on between the two of them.
Liu Songming was a chef, so he had a good understanding of dishes. The three of them were talking about the delicacies at the table. Liu Songming said that he liked Hunan cuisine the most, which was a combination of spicy and sweet. The most important thing was the right temperature. Liu Songming told the two girls that he used to work in a five-star hotel and told them a lot of dishes that they had never seen or heard of. Mu Zixi felt that it was very practical, so she earnestly memorized it in her heart. She was even extremely happy for today's unexpected harvest.
In the end, Liu Songming invited the two girls to go to his house to try his cooking. Shen Xiangmi didn't want to go. She didn't want to be too involved with him. In this world, other than her father and Jiang Qing, she didn't want to have any emotional connection with anyone of the opposite sex. Even though Jiang Qing had rejected her, her heart was still the same. She did not expect Mu Zixi to agree first. Although she was unhappy, she could only remain silent. Mu Zixi had a good impression of Liu Songming. Of course, this good impression was for Shen Xiangmi. She sincerely hoped that this man could give her good friend happiness.
When the three of them were full, Liu Songming was quick to pay the bill.
"I said I was treating. Why did you pay?”Shen Xiangmi said as she placed her money in front of him.
"Yes, you're the one who's treating me, but I didn't ask you to pay. How can a lady pay?”
"Yes, that's right, Xiangmi. Since Songming has already paid, you don't have to be too calculative.”
"How can that do?"
"We all said yes, so why not?”Mu Zixi saw through Shen Xiangmi's intention to repay the debt. She wanted to cut ties with Liu Songming and not owe him anything. Mu Zixi didn't want this to happen, so he thought of a plan.
Mu Zixi had been thinking about creating more opportunities for the two of them to get along during the meal so that Shen Xiangmi could walk out of the haze of Jiang Qing as soon as possible. Now that he thought of the same idea, he immediately said,"Songming, accompany us to the park later. We ate too much, so we need to take a walk to digest.”After saying that, he winked at Liu Songming.
Liu Songming immediately understood and said,"Okay."”
Shen Xiangmi was unhappy. She had wanted to go home earlier with Mu Zixi and tell her not to waste her efforts to matchmake her and Liu Songming. It was impossible for them. She did not expect Mu Zixi to do this again. From the time Mu Zixi left the table on purpose, to the time she agreed to pay Liu Songming's bill, to now, Shen Xiangmi had finally seen through her. She simply liked to make her own decisions.
