Mr. Mu Proposed Again Today
Chapter 369 - 367: You Like Me_1

Chapter 369: Chapter 367: You Like Me_1

"Yeah, pretty good, very good..." Su Wanxia kept nodding, and then she lamented in her heart. His goodness was expected to be repaid, wasn’t it? Perfectly fine during the day, but at night he turned into a beast, no, worse than a beast!

Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia stayed at Jian Manhui’s place for a while longer, then left with Yaoyao and Shanshan...

Having just returned, there were many things awaiting their attention.

As soon as they left, Jian Manhui suddenly felt constrained; this was her own home, yet she couldn’t understand why she felt so restricted!

"After Wanxia gets married, I might have to go back..." Su Ran suddenly said, looking at Jian Manhui standing by the door.

They had been away for too long, and it simply wouldn’t do to have no one back there. Su Yun was slated to return immediately within the next couple of days, planning to fly back for Wanxia’s wedding.

Originally, he was supposed to go back with Su Yun, but this time he selfishly chose to stay a while longer, to spend more time with her.

Having been busy searching for Wanxia and Mu Yingchen before, he hadn’t had much time to be with her. He definitely had to make up for that during these days.

Jian Manhui hadn’t expected Su Ran to suddenly say such a thing. Her heart ached slightly, perhaps understanding what her reaction meant.

Could it be true, as Wanxia had said, that she had fallen for him?

But now he was saying he had to go back...

She restrained the turmoil in her emotions and nodded lightly at him: "Mmhmm..." and then she couldn’t say anything more.

"Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?" Su Ran frowned as he looked at her.

The moment their eyes met, Jian Manhui felt her heart uncontrollably skip a beat. Panicking, she averted her gaze: "Be careful on the road..."

No sooner had the words left her mouth, she cursed herself for being an idiot. Of all things to say, why did she blurt out that?

Su Ran didn’t know whether to be angry or to laugh at this moment—angry that she wasn’t getting the hint and had offered such a perfunctory farewell, or amused that she still showed that little bit of concern for him.

However...

"So, you really want me to go back?" After going back, if nothing special happened, he might not come back here again.

Jian Manhui was conflicted in her heart, torn over whether to say yes or no.

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became internally. Love was torture, she thought. They hadn’t even started, and already she felt like she was losing control of her own heart.

"You were the one who said you were going back..." With a burst of resolve, the words slipped out.

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, "So, you mean you don’t want me to go?"

"I didn’t say that..." Jian Manhui turned and walked away.

"Manman..." Su Ran suddenly stood up and seized her arm.

Then he spun her around to face him, her back against his chest. Looking at her lowered head, he couldn’t help but curl his lips: "You like me..."

Jian Manhui’s mind was thrown into chaos. Damn it, she had only just realized it herself—how had he figured it out so quickly!

"I certainly do not..." Barely had the word ’not’ left her lips when Su Ran abruptly pressed her into a corner and sealed her lips with a kiss.

Jian Manhui’s eyes widened in shock. What... what was he doing?

She was truly stunned by Su Ran’s actions. The trace of coolness and the gentle touch on her lips made her acutely aware that he was—kissing her!!

Shameless! This was her first kiss!

She mustered all her strength to push him away and without hesitation, she raised her hand and slapped him!

With a crisp smack, both of them were startled!

Su Ran squinted his eyes in disbelief. It had been so long since he last experienced a slap he couldn’t even remember when, but in his hazy memories, before he and Xiaoyun were adopted by their foster father, this sensation seemed to accompany them every day...

Being cursed at, being punched and kicked, being ordered around at someone’s whim—though these memories were blurry, they were unforgettable for a lifetime!

Jian Manhui was also stunned as she looked at Su Ran with a dark expression. She thought he was angry, unaware that her slap had triggered so many of his memories...

"Sorry..." she began, but had only uttered a single word.

However, Su Ran spoke first, "I’m sorry..."

Then Jian Manhui saw Su Ran roughly rub his hair, his expression despondent as he walked to the door, picked up his coat, and went to open it.

She wanted to call out to him, but Su Ran opened the door, stepped aside slightly with a remorseful tone, "I was impulsive just now. I’ll come to see you in a couple of days..." Without waiting for Jian Manhui to reply, he walked out with his bedraggled hair, closing the door behind him.

The clear sound of the door closing made Jian Manhui’s heart tremble. Was her reaction too fierce just now...

She rubbed her temples, feeling a wave of irritation. Oh heaven! If she could, she truly wished she had never met him!

This feeling was driving her crazy!

After Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia left, they sent Yaoyao and Shanshan to stay with Mr. Su. The two of them then went together to the Mu Group.

In his absence, all company matters had been weighing down on Mu Feng, Ji Hua, and Mu Chuyang. The three of them must have been the most tormented, worrying about their safety while also dedicating themselves fully to handling the company’s affairs.

Moreover, why Mu Yingchen hadn’t been at the company for a month, he had publicly claimed that he was travelling abroad, so apart from them and their respective families, no one knew that Mu Yingchen had actually gone missing.

If this news were released, the entire business world would likely be in turmoil again, and those who had been eyeing the Mu Group from the shadows would definitely not miss such a good opportunity.

So, when Mu Yingchen walked into the company holding Su Wanxia’s hand, the staff simply thought that their CEO had brought his wife back from abroad. They did not share the excitement and relief of Mu Feng, Ji Hua, and Mu Chuyang seeing them.

Once they reached the CEO’s office, Ji Hua was the first to step forward, looking at the two with immense excitement, "Bro, Wanxia, you’ve finally come back, you scared us to death!"

When they heard the news about the two of them being stranded, they could hardly believe it! And the situation was very grim at the time, even rumors of Bai Yudie’s death had come through! This made them even more worried for the couple, fearing that something had happened to them as well...

Now seeing them both safe and sound before their eyes, they felt so elated they wanted to burst out laughing.

"You guys have had a tough time these days..." Mu Yingchen looked at the three in front of him, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

"What’s there to be polite between us... When I get married next year, just give me a heftier red packet, and it’ll be OK..." Mu Chuyang spoke breezily.

"Forget the red packet, just multiply my year-end bonus by a few times, and I’ll be fine..." Mu Feng said with casual composure.

"I don’t ask for much either, just make sure the wedding gift is decent when Xiao Ning and I get married. Bro, if you feel bad, you can double my year-end bonus too..." Ji Hua pushed the limits of his shamelessness to the fullest.
