Chapter 878: Short Separation (1)

Shen Wenna nodded. She then realized that the Xi family, she herself, as well as Xiaye, had taken a lot from Mu Yuchen. Regardless of how she thought about it, there would always be traces of him helping out somewhere.

As a woman, Shen Wenna could capture the genuine feelings of love he had for her daughter.

"Alright, let's eat. You two should eat more."

Xi Xiaye did not want to discuss the heavy topic, so she then grabbed some fish and put it into Mu Yuchen's bowl. "Give it a taste. I've always liked this dish back in the day though I wonder if the taste has changed after so many years."

"Try it."

He lowered his head and ate it.

Soon after lunch, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye left University A and headed right back to Maple Residence.

...

As the sky turned dark, a black Land Rover roamed through the streets and slowly drove into a luxurious apartment area.

The door was opened. Su Chen got out of the car with a briefcase in one hand and a big bouquet of roses in the other.

They were the kind of roses you could find in a romance drama. The huge bouquet covered his handsome face.

There were 99 of them. He was not sure if the florist was telling the truth since he did not count them himself, but according to the florist, it was a meaningful number and many people had bought it before. Therefore, he was convinced to get it because he was not sure what else he could get for Ji Zitong. It took him several days to think it through before finally putting his plan into action.

Basically, Su Chen's intention was innocent, but if Zhou Zimo were there to comment, he would have definitely called him out for being pretentious!

However, Su Chen did not think so. He was not sure how to face Ji Zitong ever since that night. For some reason, he felt uneasy every time he saw her. His heart rate went up and the temperature of his face was unusually warm as well.

He was 33 years old, but he had never been in a relationship before, so...

Su Chen looked up and noticed that his apartment lights were on. He took a deep breath and finally walked inside.

Ji Zitong was preparing dinner at the moment. Although she was not a very good cook, she could still manage a dish or two. She heard the sound of the door opening followed by footsteps as soon as she was done with a dish.

"You're back," Ji Zitong greeted him without looking over.

"Mmm, turn around and take a look." The man tried to sound seductive.

Ji Zitong was stunned for a moment. She stopped what she was doing and then looked over. The fiery redness almost confused her eyes, and she looked at them properly before finally realizing it was a huge bouquet of roses.

Astonished, she gave Su Chen a confused look.

Su Chen coughed as he handed the flowers to her. Then, he looked at the food on the table. "This is for you. I passed by the flower store and noticed a promotion was going on, so I bought these. The florist said there're 99 of them, but I'm not sure if she's lying. Try counting them."

He then grabbed the spatula away from her.

Unsure about exactly what was happening, she gave him a look of disbelief.

Was the man blushing!?

She was right!

His face was getting redder as she stared at him. He then groaned when Ji Zitong did not give him any reaction. "What are you looking at? There aren't any flowers on my face. Take them and put them in a vase or something. Don't just let them go to waste!"

Although his tone was angry, Ji Zitong started laughing.

"Chief Su, can't you just be straightforward and say you want to buy me some flowers? My name is written on the card here. I doubt flowers on promotion would have such lovely quality packaging."

Ji Zitong barely contained her laughter and took the flowers from him as she shot him a teasing glance. "Nonetheless, you look cute when you're embarrassed."

"Ji Zitong!" The man was clenching his teeth as Ji Zitong laughed out loud and grabbed the flowers before quickly fleeing.

Su Chen watched his woman disappear out of the doorway together with the flowers. A smile appeared on his face, and he touched his warm cheeks before washing his hands and continued to cook.

They had a happy intimate dinner together. Ji Zitong never expected this to happen. After they became a married couple since that night, everything seemed so natural.

However, that was just what Ji Zitong felt. Master Su experienced an entirely different feeling. If Zhou Zimo were to describe this situation, Su Chen was blinded by love. Everything he saw became pink!

Su Chen would definitely give him a good scolding if he said that.

As they were finishing dinner, Su Chen mentioned, "I'm going to City C for an inspection tomorrow. It'll probably take a week or two. You..."

He wanted to reject the job, but the headquarters wanted him specifically to go. For some reason, Chief Huang always liked to give him work, so he had less time for himself.

"I'm alright. Just go. I can't help you with your work. Mother is doing fine now. I'll pack your bags later." Ji Zitong was understanding about it.

"There's no need to. I always have my things prepared in a specific suitcase, but you...If you're not used to staying here alone, you can stay over at the Su residence, or even go back to your own place."
