Chapter 868: Chapter 865: How Much Courage Does It Take After All

Neither of them were usually very talkative, and at the restaurant earlier, Ji Muran had already talked about all kinds of random things to avoid awkwardness.

Now, she couldn’t find a proper topic to continue the conversation, but Ji Muran didn’t seem to think the quiet atmosphere in the car was a bad thing.

After all, she was thinking about how to express what she wanted to say appropriately.

Shen Wenzhou didn’t interrupt her thoughts. Seeing her somewhat nervous and hesitant expression, he knew she was contemplating her words.

So, Shen Wenzhou didn’t disturb her and let her think slowly.

But Ji Muran was evidently too timid, and as they neared Bihai Bay Villa, half an hour had passed since they left the restaurant, and she still hadn’t built up enough courage.

Shen Wenzhou had been patiently waiting, but now he sighed helplessly, "Ji Muran, I’m almost home."

"Oh, I know!" Ji Muran responded quickly, thinking Shen Wenzhou was worried she couldn’t find the place. She added, "I’ve been here once before."

"So you still haven’t figured out what to say?" Shen Wenzhou asked.

"Huh?" Ji Muran glanced sideways at Shen Wenzhou and saw the understanding in his eyes, as if he had seen through everything.

Realizing her thoughts had been exposed, Ji Muran smiled awkwardly, unable to hide her embarrassment.

When Ji Muran parked the car outside the Shen Family villa, Shen Wenzhou didn’t hurry to get out. Ji Muran took a deep breath, turned to him, and said seriously, "Tomorrow is the last day of the year. Can I invite you to dinner?"

Seeing she finally said it, Shen Wenzhou agreed.

Ji Muran’s eyes seemed to light up instantly. She tried to contain her excitement and asked tentatively, "And after dinner, can we watch a movie?"

"Sure," Shen Wenzhou agreed again.

"Then, can I come pick you up tomorrow?" Ji Muran continued to ask.

Shen Wenzhou couldn’t help but laugh, laughing for a while before saying helplessly, "I’ll pick you up instead."

"You’ll pick me up?"

"Yes," Shen Wenzhou nodded, "I’ll pick you up tomorrow night."

As he spoke, Shen Wenzhou had already unbuckled his seatbelt. He looked at Ji Muran one last time, "I’m going in now. Drive safely and let me know when you get home."

"Okay," Ji Muran nodded repeatedly, obediently agreeing.

Shen Wenzhou said no more, opened the car door, and got out. He didn’t hurry inside and stood by the roadside watching.

Ji Muran waved to Shen Wenzhou, then drove off without lingering.

After all, if she didn’t leave, Shen Wenzhou probably wouldn’t go inside either, so Ji Muran hastily drove away.

Watching Ji Muran drive away, Shen Wenzhou stood there with a helpless smile.

He could hardly imagine how much courage she had mustered or what kind of impulse made her dare to ask if she could pursue him that day!

As the car disappeared from sight, Shen Wenzhou finally turned and walked back into the villa.

Ji Muran was exhilarated by the fact that Shen Wenzhou had agreed to their date tomorrow. After getting home, she messaged Shen Wenzhou and then went to her group chat to get advice from her close friends.
