Chapter 320: Chapter 320 Tonight’s Date
…
After getting into the car, An Mi finally spoke up, “Mr. Wan, are you not happy?”
Even though he didn’t say it, An Mi could still feel it.
His mood didn’t seem very good.
Wan Muqi glanced at her, “Didn’t you have class this morning?”
An Mi was stunned.
“Why did you say you don’t have class?”
Although his tone was questioning, it was relatively gentle.
He was indeed very uncomfortable inside, but he didn’t want to scare her.
Even, he felt an inexplicable irritability in his heart.
An Mi did not expect that he actually knew her class schedule.
She felt a bit embarrassed and guilty for a moment.
She lowered her head and bit her lower lip.
Seeing her like this, Wan Muqi immediately couldn’t bear to ask her.
He was just about to speak when the girl started to talk herself: “I took a leave of absence, but I didn’t intentionally lie to Jiang You. I was worried that if I told her I took a leave, my sister would find out.”
“I didn’t meet anyone, I just went to pick up a gift.”
She looked up at him.
Then, she handed over the gift bag she was holding in her arms to him.
Wan Muqi was stunned for a moment.
Was this for him?
“Mr. Wan, happy birthday.”
An Mi looked at him and said very seriously.
At this moment, Wan Muqi was completely stunned.
He himself had forgotten that today was his own birthday.
So, she took a leave to pick up a gift for him?
At this moment, the irritability and gloom in his heart instantly evaporated.
An Mi further explained: “I originally planned to pick it up in the afternoon and then give it to you, but they called me in the morning, saying they wouldn’t be at the store in the afternoon, so I took the morning off to go there.”
Wan Muqi looked at the LOGO on the bag; he knew the store. It was a private custom shop.
Generally, to customize something at their store, it requires an appointment two weeks in advance.
So, this gift wasn’t just bought randomly, but was specially customized for him.
Just as An Mi finished speaking, she fell into a firm and warm embrace.
Wan Muqi immediately wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her tight into his embrace.
A faint scent of cedarwood lingered around her nose.
And she didn’t dislike the scent or the touch of his body.
But her body was still a bit stiff, and her jaw was resting on his shoulder, not daring to move at all.
“About that, Mr. Wan…”
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the man: “An Mi, thank you. Also, I’m sorry for being in a bad mood just now. I was thinking that your taking leave was to meet someone, and I got jealous, which is why I questioned why you took the leave.”
An Mi blinked, feeling a strange tingling sensation deep inside, and even a bit of happiness.
“It’s okay, I don’t blame you.”
An Mi thought for a bit and then said: “I don’t know if you like the gift, but I hope you won’t find it lacking.”
Wan Muqi gently stroked the back of her head and said softly: “Anything you give me, I’ll like no matter what it is.”
Wan Muqi didn’t do anything else, just held her in his embrace.
“…”
A University.
As soon as she returned to her dormitory, Chen Jin pulled her down onto a chair.
An Mi looked up at her, puzzled: “Jinjin, what’s going on?”
Chen Jin took out her phone and pulled up a photo from her album.
“Mimi, is this you and Mr. Wan?”
An Mi looked at the photo on her phone.
Wasn’t this the photo from last night’s proposal scene of Jiang You?
But how did Chen Jin have this photo?
In the photo, she was standing next to Wan Muqi.
However, her sister, Jing Xuan, and sister-in-law Sang Luo were also next to them.
“Jinjin, how did you get this photo?” An Mi asked.
Chen Jin: “Mimi, you actually know Jiang You, the big star? Why didn’t you tell me before?”
Jiang You is a female celebrity that Chen Jin recently became a fan of; she really likes the TV dramas she stars in.
Moreover, after waking up this morning, she saw the news of her getting proposed to last night, and while browsing, she came across An Mi.
An Mi: “Are you a fan of Jiang You?”
Chen Jin nodded.
“You actually call her sister?”
“Jiang You is my brother-in-law’s younger sister.”
“What? What did you say?”
Chen Jin’s voice suddenly went up an octave.
Jiang You’s fans mostly don’t know her real identity, as it has never been disclosed.
“…”
An Mi frowned slightly, Chen Jin’s voice was a bit sharp, and it got really high when she shouted, almost shattering one’s eardrums.
She rubbed her ears and repeated, “I said, Jiang You is my brother-in-law’s biological younger sister.”
Chen Jin: “Oh my god, she is actually the daughter of the Jiang Family Group!”
An Mi quickly said, “Jinjin, don’t spread this info, alright?”
If she remembers correctly, Jiang You hasn’t publicly announced that she is part of the Jiang Family.
Chen Jin immediately made a zipper gesture over her mouth.
“Mimi, could you help me get an autographed photo?”
Chen Jin, hanging on to her arm, spoke coquettishly.
An Mi: “…”
“Just this one time, no next time.”
Chen Jin nodded, raised her hand, and swore, “I promise, just this once, that’s all I want.”
She knew where An Mi’s principles stood.
“Okay, I’ll help you get an autographed photo in a few days.”
“You’re the best, Mimi, love you～”
Chen Jin looked at her tender, delicate cheeks, really wanting to kiss them, but she held back.
She was afraid that if Mr. Wan found out, she wouldn’t fare well.
“By the way, Mimi, what did you take leave for today?”
Chen Jin had not had the chance to ask her yet.
An Mi always valued her studies, and this was the first time she saw her take leave during a professional course—it was practically once in a blue moon.
An Mi picked up a water cup nearby, “Had some personal matters to deal with.”
Chen Jin’s sharp eyes weren’t just for show.
“What personal matters? You actually kept it from me to deal with personal matters?” Chen Jin narrowed her eyes, staring intently at her: “No way, you must be hiding something from me, confess, or I will have to start the punishment.”
The “punishment” Chen Jin referred to was tickling.
Because An Mi was very scared of this.
She had found out about it once when they slept together.
An Mi felt her scalp tingle as she saw her raise her hands, feeling itchiness all over her body.
“…”
“I just went to pick up something, didn’t really do anything.”
“Pick up what? Something worth skipping a professional course for?”
“Just a gift.”
“A gift? What gift? Where is it?”
Chen Jin looked left and right, but couldn’t see anything; it seemed she came in empty-handed.
An Mi: “Gave it to someone.”
Chen Jin squinting her eyes, “Gave to whom? Could it be to Mr. Wan?”
An Mi: “…”
How does she guess right every time?
Seeing her silence, Chen Jin immediately smiled: “Wow, Mimi, you’re really something! You started giving gifts to Mr. Wan.”
“Are you two secretly together behind our backs?”
An Mi just took a sip of water and choked.
“Cough cough… No, no.” She hurriedly waved her hands denying it.
Chen Jin: “If it’s not, then why are you choking on water? Could it be that you’re feeling guilty?”
She spoke while lightly patting her back with one hand.
“Mimi, you haven’t fallen for Mr. Wan, have you?”
“That’s not true, don’t talk nonsense.”
“Then why did you give him a gift out of the blue?”
“It’s called reciprocating. On the fourth day of the year, my birthday, he gave me a necklace. Today is Mr. Wan’s birthday, so I prepared a gift for him.”
An Mi explained.
Chen Jin felt slightly disappointed: “So that’s it. Today is Mr. Wan’s birthday, aren’t you going to spend his birthday with him tonight? It would be a good chance to further develop your relationship.”
An Mi: “…”
She had heard from Mrs. Wan before that he has not celebrated his birthday since he was ten.
Every year on his birthday, he was either on a business trip or working.
He even forgot what date his birthday was.
An Mi knew today was his birthday because she had heard it from Mrs. Wan during their last conversation.
And when he had driven her back just now, he didn’t mention any plans about celebrating his birthday tonight.
Since he didn’t celebrate it, she would not break his longstanding habit.
…
Half past five in the afternoon.
An Mi was just about to go out to eat with her three dorm mates when she received a call from Wan Muqi.
All three of them gazed at her with gossipy looks.
“Mimi, why aren’t you answering the phone?”
Zhuzhu adjusted her glasses, asking puzzledly.
“…”
How could she answer with the three of them staring at her like that?
Chen Jin pulled Zhuzhu and Hu Hui aside.
“Mimi is feeling shy, let’s not keep watching her while she takes the call.”
Then, the three of them pulled up their chairs and sat down.
An Mi: “…”
She got up and went to the balcony.
Their gazes intensely followed her, but they did not go after her.
When An Mi reached the balcony, she answered the call.
“Hello, Mr. Wan, what’s up?”
“Are you at the dormitory?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Then come down, I am waiting for you in the parking lot.”
The man did not give her a chance to talk and hung up the phone.
An Mi: “…”
Chen Jin and the others still thought that it would take a while for her to finish the phone call, but less than a minute later, An Mi turned around and came back in.
“What did Mr. Wan say to you?” Hu Hui immediately asked.
An Mi glanced at them and said, “He asked me to go to the parking lot.”
Just as she finished speaking.
Chen Jin slapped her thigh and immediately stood up, starting to arrange hurriedly: “Quick, quick, quick, let’s put some light makeup on Mimi and find a dress for her, let’s dress her up nicely.”
“…”
Five minutes later, An Mi went downstairs.
She declined Chen Jin’s suggestion; she neither put on makeup nor changed her clothes, simply wearing a white t-shirt and jeans.
“Sorry, I got held up a bit just now,” An Mi apologized as soon as she got into the car.
She rarely kept anyone waiting because she would feel embarrassed.
“Did you need something?”
An Mi did not buckle her seatbelt, thinking he just had something to tell her and then she would leave.
Wan Muqi said, “Put on your seatbelt.”
“Huh?”
“I’m taking you out to eat.”
…
Half an hour later.
The two of them walked into a restaurant one after the other.
As soon as they entered, the manager came forward very enthusiastically to greet them: “Mr. Wan, you’re here.”
Wan Muqi nodded.
The manager said, “Then let me take you to your reserved seat.”
Wan Muqi: “Okay, thank you for the trouble.”
Manager: “No trouble at all, it’s my duty.”
This restaurant was bustling with people whenever it was mealtime.
“Mom, look, isn’t that An Mi?”
Lin Xueyin, who just came back from the restroom and sat down, saw An Mi’s profile.
At first, she even thought she had mistaken someone else, after all, it was unlikely for An Mi to appear alone in such a place for a meal.
Hearing this, Lin Yue looked in the direction she pointed.
It was indeed An Mi.
But who was that man?
Being led by the manager of this restaurant was enough to prove that this man’s identity and status were extraordinary.
Wan Muqi was facing away from them, so they did not see his face.
Until the man sat down.
Only then did the mother and daughter clearly see the man’s face.
“Mom, isn’t that the King of Law, Wan Muqi?” Lin Xueyin said, “How could An Mi be with him?”
Lin Yue naturally recognized Wan Muqi.
After all, her nephew Tang Kai’s lawsuit was handled by this man.
Originally, the Tang Family had spent money to get Tang Kai out early, as he was the only boy in the Tang Family, and the elders were willing to do everything to get him out.
However, when this lawyer intervened, the plans of the Tang Family fell through again.
The people from the Tang Family had gone to this lawyer several times, but were turned away every time.
But now, An Mi was actually appearing alone with this man here.
It seemed like no one was in charge of her now.
Her courage was getting bigger, daring to dine alone with a man.
Lin Xueyin looked in An Mi’s direction, a deep sense of jealousy flashing through her eyes.
She just didn’t understand, even An Mi could be with such an outstanding man, why couldn’t she?
An Mi and Su He were indeed sisters, always picking the best men to target.
Dining alone as a man and a woman, she would never believe they were just normal friends.
Why could the men in this world be monopolized by these two sisters, while she had to suffer the cold words from Luo Meijuan, that old hag in Luo Family, and also serve that fat and repulsive man every night!
Perhaps her gaze was too fervent, she inadvertently met the man’s gaze looking over.
Wan Muqi’s deep black eyes, like an abyss, carried not a trace of warmth, resembling a millennium-old ice that could instantly freeze someone.
Lin Xueyin was so frightened that she shrank her neck.
She immediately withdrew her gaze.
Just now his gaze towards An Mi was very gentle, but when it touched her, it immediately turned gloomy and chilling.
Seeing him suddenly look elsewhere, An Mi subconsciously turned her head to look.
Wan Muqi didn’t have time to stop her.
When An Mi saw Lin Yue, her expression changed instantly.
Truthfully, since that incident, An Mi really didn’t want to meet Lin Yue and Lin Xueyin again.
Yue City was so big, how could she have encountered them again?
Moreover, this restaurant was also considered a high-end restaurant.
Could these two maintain such a level of spending for so long?
If she wasn’t mistaken, Lin Yue had no real skills to make money, she had always just relied on the An Family.
And after she divorced her husband, she left with nothing.
Seeing her complexion was off, Wan Muqi asked, “Shall we change to another restaurant?”
An Mi: “No need to go through such trouble.”
She wasn’t being so pretentious.
She couldn’t always avoid them, could she?
Moreover, she hadn’t done anything wrong, why should she avoid them.
“Let’s just ignore them.” An Mi said: “Let’s order, I’m hungry.”
“Okay.”
“…”
Just as the two had finished ordering, Lin Yue came over.
