Hidden Marriage CEO is Hard to Please

Su Manlin playfully pouted her lips and thought for a while before she said with an elegant smile, "I want to go eat French food. I heard that there's a new French restaurant that's quite good recently. Shall we go there and try it?"

"Alright." Chi Chengxuan replied indifferently. His mind was filled with Mu Yanfei's injured appearance. He didn't know if she had misunderstood something or not.

The two of them went to eat French food together before leaving the restaurant.

Su Manlin sat in Chi Chengxuan's car and asked with a curious tone, "Xuan, do you have time later?"

"Yes." He originally wanted to spend today's time with Mu Yanfei, but unexpectedly, he was pestered by Su Manlin.

The reason why Chi Chengxuan was being so polite to Su Manlin was because when the Chi family business fell into trouble five years ago, Su Manlin begged her father to help the Chi family business.

"My mom asked me to buy a bunch of lilies for her."

"Alright, I'll take you to the florist."

Su Manlin didn't know whether it was intentional or just a coincidence, but the shop she wanted to buy flowers in was the one that Mu Yanyi worked at.

When the two of them walked into the flower shop, Mu Yanyu was in the middle of greeting a customer to pick the flowers. When the evil light in her eyes inadvertently swept over the handsome couple that had just entered the shop, they suddenly froze for a moment.

Chi Chengxuan did not expect her to work here. Previously, she had told him that it was because she prepared her thesis and had to go out often to search for information, so he did not suspect her in the slightest.

He didn't expect that the little girl would actually lie to him!

'Let's see how he will deal with her when she returns! '

Chi Chengxuan's burning gaze followed Mu Yanfei's figure, as if he wanted to stare at a hole all over her body.

Mu Yanfei felt a slight chill on her back, but she tried her best to maintain her original expression, treating Chi Chengxuan as though he was transparent.

When Chi Chengxuan saw how she turned a blind eye to him, an indescribable rage welled up in his heart. He really wanted to go up and drag her out of the shop and fiercely reprimand her.

Was this the attitude she should have towards a husband as a wife?

No, she didn't know she had registered the marriage with him.

However, as an emotional person, she seemed to have failed even more. She didn't have the mood to curry favor with him.

Su Manlin had always been paying attention to Chi Chengxuan's reaction and the direction of his gaze. When she saw the pair of eyes that were clean and without any impurities, as well as her elegant and graceful face, a hint of coldness quickly flashed across her eyes.

It was she who had taken away all the thoughts and gazes of the man she liked.

With a slight smirk, she affectionately pulled Chi Chengxuan's arm and walked towards Mu Yanfei.

"Xuan, do you think that lilies should be bought with potted plants or a bunch?" Su Manlin's face was full of smiles, just like a happy little woman.

"Call Auntie and ask her what she likes." Chi Chengxuan's tone was calm, without a single fluctuation.

It turned out that their relationship had developed to the point of meeting their parents.

Mu Yanfei's downcast expression darkened.

Su Manlin smiled as she looked at Mu Yanfei, exuding an aura of nobility.

"Miss, why don't you help me choose? You can choose based on your mother's preferences."

Hearing her mother's words, Mu Yanyu's eyes glazed over.

If only her mother were still there.

Unfortunately, the current her could only think about her forever.

"Pot it." She tried to smile gently.

Her mother loved to raise flowers, and almost every time her father sent flowers to her mother, they were potted.

Su Manlin smiled and nodded. She looked at Chi Chengxuan with eyes full of love, "Xuan, then let's buy a potted plant."

Chi Chengxuan expressionlessly nodded his head, his deep gaze intentionally or unintentionally landing on Mu Yanfei's emaciated figure.

"Miss, may I trouble you to choose which pot you like?" Mu Yanfei politely asked for Su Manlin's opinion.

Su Manlin glanced back and forth at the pots of lilies. She pouted her lips slightly as if she couldn't make up her mind and then shifted her gaze onto Chi Chengxuan, "Xuan, which pot should I choose?"

Chi Chengxuan gave an indifferent glance, before pointing at one of the pots. His eyes landed on Mu Yanyu, "This one in the middle."

"Alright." Mu Yanfei replied politely.

She inadvertently raised her gaze, and in that instant when their gazes met, the enduring coldness in his eyes caused her to be dazed for a moment, before she quickly averted her gaze.

While Mu Yanfei was helping Su Manlin pack the potted plants, she casually asked, "Does your mother also like lilies?"

A hint of sadness appeared in Mu Yanyu's originally calm eyes, and she softly replied to her question, "My mom likes orange blossoms."

"Orange flower?" Su Manlin was still smiling elegantly, "It seems pretty good."

For the rest of the time, Su Manlin didn't ask any other questions. Instead, she intentionally or unintentionally cast her loving gaze on Chi Chengxuan, intentionally creating a kind of blissful feeling between her and Chi Chengxuan.

Chi Chengxuan paid for the bill, but he didn't take a single glance at Mu Yanfei during this period, as if she was a stranger that couldn't be any stranger to him.

After the two of them left the flower shop, Mu Yan Fei felt as if a century had passed, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.

After walking out of the flower shop, Chi Chengxuan took his hand away from Su Manlin and brought her to the place where they had caught a taxi. He helped her stop a car and opened the door for her in a gentleman's manner, "I have something to do in a while, you can take the car back yourself."

"Getting busy is more important." There was a gentle smile on her face as she sat in the car. After Chi Chengxuan closed the door, her smile suddenly disappeared, and her eyes, which were originally filled with tenderness, now flashed with a trace of ruthlessness.

Mu Yanyu was busy at the flower shop until her colleagues came to take over, only then did she pack her things and get off work.

She walked to the bus stop to wait for the bus to stop, but now she had nothing to do. She suddenly recalled the scene of Chi Chengxuan being intimate with that beautiful and elegant woman, and her heart was filled with an uneasiness.

The backpack she was carrying on her back was tugged at by someone, causing her to uncontrollably take a few steps back, almost falling to the ground.

However, before she could regain her wits, she was violently pulled backwards, causing her to uncontrollably fall backwards …
