Chapter 36

Shen Jiaman rushed back to school in one breath, quickly changed the cheongsam, and made up her mind that she would never wear it again.

She washed her hair and stood by the balcony, looking at the dark night outside in confusion, holding a dry towel in her hand, but she didn't know what to do with it, and let the water droplets from her hair soak her back.

The cell phone on the bed rang suddenly, disrupting her thoughts. She turned around and slowly shifted her gaze to the caller ID.

The word Mu Yuanchen is so far away, just like where he is, unreachable...

"Hey."

After a brief hesitation, she pressed answer.

"Why did you leave without saying a word?"

It was obviously a questioning sentence, but when it came out of his mouth, it was so gentle.

"Sorry, I have something to do temporarily."

"Can I come out for a while?"

come out?She didn't respond a little: "Where are you going?"

"I'm at your school gate."

Shen Jiaman bit her lower lip and thought for a few seconds: "En, good."

After hanging up the phone, she let out a long sigh of relief, that's okay, let's take this opportunity to explain everything that needs to be said clearly.

On the night of early autumn, with the cool wind, she stepped on the leaves of sycamore trees, and she walked out of a Linmeng avenue.

In the front, Mu Yuanchen was leaning against the car, with a cigarette in his hand, the sparks of fire were jumping up and down like a mischievous firefly in the dark night.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's ok."

He stubbed out the cigarette butt and opened the door: "Get in the car first."

"No, I don't want to go too far. There is a river in front of me. Let's talk over there."

Mu Yuanchen didn't object.

The two walked forward side by side, Shen Jiaman was very entangled and didn't know how to say this.

"You haven't said yet, why did you leave suddenly?"

"I said, there is something temporary..."

"Impossible." He looked at her firmly: "If something happens, I won't even say hello."

"I don't know much about etiquette. Every time I encounter an emergency, I feel a little dazed. Moreover, my self-control is very poor."

Mu Yuanchen was very interested: "Oh, for example?"

"Like what?"

"In which way, it can reflect your poor self-control."

She blushed and waved her hand: "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, I don't want to expose all my shortcomings in front of an excellent man."

"You think I'm a good man?"

"Isn't it? You are the ruler of the Mu family. You have achieved success and fame. What in the world is out of your control."

He smiled: "You beautify me like a god."

The two sat on the lounge chairs by the river, staring at the sparkling river, Mu Yuanchen said with unfathomable eyes: "Actually, I desire to be an ordinary man more than to be admired by thousands of people. "

"why?"

"There is no reason, not everything has its reason."

"It's true that you don't know the blessings in the blessings. You don't know the distress of ordinary men. They work hard all day for their livelihood, ideals, and families. If you are as rich as you and have a beautiful girlfriend by your side , then I will definitely laugh out loud in my dreams.”

Shen Jiaman said whatever he thought, completely oblivious to the flash of surprise in Mu Yuanchen's eyes.

"You know I have a girlfriend?"

She froze for a moment, then nodded: "Well, I know, isn't it the one who danced with you tonight?"

Mu Yuanchen did not deny it, but said in a very flat tone: "She is my fiancee."

"Oh……"

Shen Jiaman worked hard and kept calm.

"I told you not to leave in a hurry tonight, because I wanted to tell you something."

"what's up?"

"I'm going to China at the beginning of next month. If you want to go home and have a look, you can come with me."

God knows how homesick she is, but at this moment, she can't show her homesickness.

"No, I'm graduating soon anyway, not a few months away."

Mu Yuanchen seemed to have anticipated her rejection, so he didn't mind much.

"What are you going to do in China?"

"Study the market."

"Could it be that you want to invest in a company in China?"

"There are plans for this."

Shen Jiaman opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Why?"

He chuckled and looked at her softly: "Why do you like to ask why so much?"

"I was just surprised."

She lowered her head in embarrassment, she didn't dare to look at Mu Yuanchen squarely, his eyes were like a swamp, if they sank into it, they couldn't get out.

"China is a good place. I have long wanted to develop, but it is only now that I have decided to implement it."

"Then you plan to inspect that city?"

"Shanghai."

Shen Jiaman was shocked again, she wanted to ask him why he chose Shanghai, but she was afraid that he would make fun of her, how could there be so many reasons...

"Well, Shanghai is an international trade metropolis, and you have a good vision."

She prefers to believe that he chose Shanghai because he has a business vision, and she doesn't want to speculate wildly, because he has other reasons.

"My vision has always been good, but it often goes against my wishes."

Mu Yuanchen took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, and lit it coolly. In the smoke, he reached out and stroked Shen Jiaman's hair: "After washing your hair, remember to dry it. Beware of catching a cold."

Shen Jiaman was anxious and shy. After chatting for so long, she still didn't get to the point. On the contrary, now that he was caressing her hair so gently, she immediately blushed, and was so embarrassed that she didn't even know how to answer.

"Why didn't you wear a coat when you came out?" He decisively took off his suit and put it on her.

He is always so graceful, always so considerate, so gentle that others can't resist, Jiang Shan is right, he is a dangerous person, very, very dangerous...

"Mu Yuanchen, I have something... I want to tell you."

She mustered up her courage.

"Well, you said."

"In the future, in order to avoid her misunderstanding, I hope we will stop dating."

"Who are you referring to?" He raised his eyes calmly.

"It doesn't matter who you are. The point is, I don't think I can get too close to you. Between friends, you should keep a friend's distance. If you have a fiancee, even if you don't care about other things, you should also worry about her feelings. Besides, I I also thought about my original life of following the rules and waiting for graduation with peace of mind.”

After Shen Jiaman finished speaking these words in one breath, she closed her eyes feeling disappointed.

Time seemed to stand still. Mu Yuanchen didn't speak for a long time, and there was no expression on his face. After a long time, he stood up and said, "Okay then."

He agreed, without any displeasure or disappointment, and the only expression on his face was his usual calmness.

"It's late, let's go."

She shook her head: "You go first, I want to sit down for a while."

"Okay, don't stay too long, the night is cool."

"clothing……"

"You're wearing it."

He held her hands that were about to tear off the coat, and his palms were warm, just like the warmth he had been giving all along.

Mu Yuanchen left, his back gradually disappeared from her sight, Shen Jiaman's heart suddenly seemed to be hollowed out.

A gust of wind blew up, and she covered her face, only to realize that the corners of her eyes were sore...
