C24 A Hint
"Do you have time? Can we have a meal together? "The man had a gentle smile on his face as he stood in front of her.
Mu Ning habitually wanted to open her mouth to refuse, but when faced with the vague anticipation in the man's eyes, the words she opened her mouth became true. " En. "
Lee Muze instantly smiled and took Mu Ning's bag. "Let's go. I have already reserved a seat."
Mu Ning wanted to open her mouth to take back her bag, but when she saw that the man had already turned around and walked away before her, she could only give up and follow Chung Yifan out of the company.
Lee Muze booked a high-level western restaurant. It was a huge French window that allowed one to see the night outside.
Lee Muze still took Mu Ning's bag and brought her to the front desk. He smiled gently and had a slight alienation, "Please serve the food as soon as possible."
The waiter saw Lee Muze bringing a woman with him and holding a lady's bag. He could not help but look at Mu Ning and joked, "I won't let Young Master Li and your girlfriend wait too long."
Mu Ning was immediately stunned and said, "We are not boyfriend and girlfriend."
Hearing her words, Lee Muze's smile immediately darkened a little, but he did not say anything.
Lee Muze reserved a seat by the window to admire the best angle of the night.
Mu Ning took the opportunity to take her bag and sat down.
The previous seat. The strange feeling had yet to disappear, but Lee Muze's actions made the strange feeling in her heart not disperse.
It could not be helped. Lee Muze was too gentle and considerate. The warmth in his eyes from time to time also made Mu Ning a little afraid to look at him.
This dinner, Lee Muze really took care of her very well. He even helped her cut the steak. If Mu Ning did not stop him, Lee Muze would still help her wipe her mouth.
Mu Ning ate until she felt restless. She kept feeling that Lee Muze was especially strange tonight.
The two of them had some strange interactions, but in some people's eyes, they became intimate.
Jiang Mingwei, who had followed her best friend out for dinner, saw the two of them as soon as she entered the room. They seemed to have brought their own flashlights.
Seeing Lee Muze's caring and intimate relationship with Mu Ning and the warmth on his face that he had never given to her, Jiang Mingwei's jealousy began to burn fiercely in her heart.
In the end, it was the waiter who reminded Jiang Mingwei, and only then did Jiang Mingwei come back to her senses.
Looking at her best friend beside her, Jiang Mingwei found an excuse to let her eat by herself and walked straight towards Lee Muze and Mu Ning.
"Muze, you are here too?" Jiang Mingwei walked to Lee Muze's side and pretended to be surprised and surprised.
Jiang Mingwei's sudden interruption successfully attracted their attention.
Mu Ning raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Mingwei. She narrowed her eyes. Why did she feel that Jiang Mingwei had other intentions?
Furthermore, Muze? Did Lee Muze agree to call her so nauseous?
Of course, Lee Muze did not agree. He heard her soft voice that she could pretend to be. There was only disgust in his heart. He frowned. The warmth that he had shown to Mu Ning just now was as gentle as the spring breeze. In an instant, there was no trace of him. His voice was cold and distant. " So what if I'm here? You're using your meal, there's no need to disturb me, right? "
Lee Muze's manner of chasing people away instantly stung Jiang Mingwei's heart. When she thought of the tender feelings Lee Muze had towards Mu Ning previously, the jealousy in her heart could not be restrained.
With a forced smile on her face, Jiang Mingwei had an idea and walked towards Mu Ning. She squeezed Mu Ning away and sat beside her.
"Muze, you misunderstood. I only saw elder sister here. So I couldn't help but be happy and came over to see elder sister. After all, elder sister usually doesn't see people. It's hard to talk to me when I see someone. "Jiang Mingwei said and even put on an aggrieved look.
Mu Ning listened but why did she feel that Jiang Mingwei was discrediting her?
If Lee Muze had not investigated, perhaps he would still believe Jiang Mingwei's words. Lee Muze sneered, and his eyes turned cold, "According to the company's hierarchy, you should call me CEO or CEO Li. According to our private relationship, you don't have the right to call me Ze Mu. Miss Jiang should pay attention to her words. "
Mu Ning knew that Jiang Mingwei was not an easy person to deal with and did not want to bother with her. She pulled Jiang Mingwei's hand away and said indifferently, " Since you have finished looking, then you can leave if there is nothing else. "
Jiang Mingwei sat there and was pincered by the two of them. Her expression instantly turned ugly. But when she thought about Lee Muze's tender feelings towards Mu Ning just now and let her leave like this, Jiang Mingwei was unwilling to accept it no matter what.
As expected, Jiang Mingwei did not leave but Mu Ning did not expect that Jiang Mingwei would be addicted to pretending to be sisters.
But was she pretending to be too white lotus? As she said that she was intimate with her, she also discredited her.
Mu Ning smiled and did not speak. She drank a sip of the drink and allowed Jiang Mingwei to act on her own. She also did not speak.
Lee Muze also did not pay attention to her. Talking to her was also the time to tear down her stage. Not long after, Jiang Mingwei still could not stand it and walked away. However, when she walked away, no matter how one looked at it, she seemed to have suffered a lot of anger.
...
The wind started at night, and the air cooled down for no reason. Lee Muze looked at Mu Ning who was wearing thin clothes. He took off his coat and wanted to put it on her.
Mu Ning seemed to have noticed and inadvertently avoided his hand that wanted to put on her clothes. She smiled casually and said, "It's late. Thank you for your hospitality tonight, Young Master Li. I have to go back first."
Lee Muze took back his hand that wanted to put the coat on her and looked at Mu Ning's eyes. They were as gentle as water, as if they could drown someone inside.
"Call me Muze or Ah Ze. Young Master Li is too unfamiliar. "Lee Muze smiled gently, making people unable to say anything to stab him.
Mu Ning turned her head and looked at him meaningfully. When she opened her mouth, she was a bit distant, "Call me Young Master Li. "
Lee Muze did not dwell on this and changed the topic. He said, "I'll take you home. It's not easy to take a taxi here."
Mu Ning wanted to refuse, but Lee Muze seemed to have expected it. Seemingly unintentional, he said, "Don't refuse. I'll send you home. It's not safe for a girl like you to go home late at night. Just take it as giving me a chance. Is that okay? "
Lee Muze's words seemed to be unintentional, but they carried some hidden hints.
It was not that Mu Ning did not understand, but she still remained silent and did not answer. She lowered her head and looked at the tips of her toes.
There was a flash of disappointment in Lee Muze's eyes, but the way he looked at Mu Ning was as warm as ever. "Pretend that I did not say anything. I will send you home. Get in the car. "
Mu Ning did not say any more words of refusal and obediently followed Lee Muze into the car.
This small episode was not mentioned by anyone else. It was as if nothing had happened. Only Lee Muze had insomnia at night.
The next day, Mu Ning followed a group of people in the meeting room for a meeting. The projection on the display screen was a very exquisite design of a necklace.
This was the mission that Lee Muze had assigned to her. This meeting was a chance for her to prove her strength to everyone.
The reality was just as Lee Muze had expected. When this design was released, some people who were originally dissatisfied with Mu Ning also looked at her in a different light.
