Chapter 88 : Shallow Magic

Mu Qianqian felt a warmth in her heart.

She had only mentioned it casually, but unexpectedly, Mr. was really willing to eat her leftovers.

Did this mean that, in Mr’s heart, he had already started to treat her like family?

Mu Qianqian couldn’t help but ask, “Mr, do you dislike me?”

Fu Sichan didn’t hesitate, “I do.”

He complained a lot, but he didn’t throw away the leftover tuna. Instead, he furrowed his brows and ate it all.

“Can we go now?”

Mu Qianqian nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, Mr, let’s go.”

Fu Sichan took her hand and walked out of the restaurant.

In the car on the way back, Mu Qianqian was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open and fell into a sweet sleep against the car window.

Seeing her sleep uneasily, Fu Sichan adjusted her head to rest on his shoulder.

He pinched her nose and said helplessly, “Full and then sleeping, little lazy pig.”

Mu Qianqian swatted his hand away, murmuring sleepily, “Don’t bother me, I want to sleep.”

Fu Sichan was at a loss for words.

If he had known this girl was so ungrateful, he wouldn’t have let her sleep on his shoulder. He should have let her lean against the car window and make her forehead red.

Fu Sichan opened the car’s onboard computer and dealt with company matters.

From time to time, he glanced down at Mu Qianqian’s sleeping face, adjusting her head to make her more comfortable.

…

That day, Mu Qianqian went to Yun Cheng Hotel for her part-time job.

During her break time, Ye Wanqing came to the lounge to find her, but Mu Qianqian was nowhere to be seen.

“Hmm, where’s Qianqian?”

Wang Yanru greeted Ye Wanqing with enthusiasm as soon as she saw her, “Miss Ye, it’s you. Qianqian was just here, but in the meantime, I don’t know where she went to slack off.”

Ye Wanqing had a poor impression of her and nodded coldly, intending to leave.

“Miss Ye, have you been comfortable staying at Yun Cheng? If you need anything, just let me know.”

Wang Yanru had made up her mind to approach Ye Wanqing to get closer to Ye Shaoye.

But Ye Wanqing, having grown up in a wealthy family, was not naive and was well aware of her intentions.

Ye Wanqing responded coolly, “No need. I’m afraid you’ll think my name is silly.”

Wang Yanru’s expression turned from blue to white.

This was something she had said herself and couldn’t deny.

“Miss Ye, that incident was just a misunderstanding. I didn’t know that was your name. I thought it was just a random excuse made up by Mu Qianqian.”

“Whether it was a misunderstanding or not is none of my concern. I have nothing to do with you.”

After saying that, Ye Wanqing left the lounge to look for Mu Qianqian elsewhere.

At this moment, Mu Qianqian was sitting in the garden on the phone.

The caller was Old Lady Fu.

“Qianqian, how have you been recently?”

Mu Qianqian nodded, “Thank you for asking, Grandma. I’ve been doing well.”

“Can you eat properly these days?”

Although Mu Qianqian was puzzled by Old Lady Fu’s question, she answered obediently, “Yes, I have a good appetite.”

“That’s good to hear. You’re a lucky girl, you’ve avoided a lot of hardships. Back when Sichan’s aunt was pregnant, she would throw up everything she ate for the first few months and lost quite a bit of weight, which worried me greatly.”

Mu Qianqian scratched her head.

Why did Grandma’s words seem harder to understand lately?

“Has Sichan been bullying you recently?”

Mu Qianqian immediately answered this question, “No, Sichan is very good to me.”

Old Lady Fu beamed with joy, “That’s great. Sichan has been so busy with work these years and has had little interaction with women. He can be quite straightforward. If he does anything wrong, just tell Grandma, and I’ll take care of him for you.”

Mu Qianqian smiled, “Don’t worry, Grandma.”

“Don’t stress too much about school, your health is the most important thing. When you and Sichan have some free time, come over to the old house for a meal with me.”

Mu Qianqian sweetly said, “Sure, once Sichan isn’t so busy, we’ll come over to visit you.”

After finishing the call with Mu Qianqian, Old Lady Fu felt cheerful all day long.

“Do you think Qianqian has some kind of magic? Every time I talk to her, I feel so refreshed and energetic.”

“Mom, this shows that Qianqian is quite to your liking. I also really like this girl. She’s straightforward and kind-hearted. People like her are rare in today’s society.”

“Yes. It’s Sichan’s good fortune to marry her.”

In the high society, marriage is a serious matter. Marrying someone who constantly schemes and creates trouble is truly unfortunate.

It’s unexpected to find such a pure and kind-hearted girl like Mu Qianqian in today’s world. Fu Sichan’s luck is indeed quite good.

…

“Qianqian, here you are! I’ve been looking for you everywhere.”

Ye Wanqing finally found Mu Qianqian.

“Wanqing, what’s up? Did you need something?”

“Not really, just wanted to chat with you.”

Ye Wanqing came over and sat down beside Mu Qianqian.

Mu Qianqian asked with concern, “How did your chat with Young Master Lu go?”

Ye Wanqing’s cheeks flushed slightly, “It went okay.”

“When are you two planning to discuss marriage?”

“Wait a bit longer. We’re not very familiar with each other yet.”

Ye Wanqing, usually so carefree and unrestrained, was now feeling shy and reserved.

This time, she had met someone she truly admired.

“Qianqian, I heard you’re going to participate in the beauty contest in a few days. What talent are you planning to perform?”

“Singing.”

Ye Wanqing praised, “Your vocal talent is excellent. I’m sure your singing will be wonderful. I’ll definitely come to cheer you on.”

“Great! With you there, I won’t be so nervous.”

Ye Wanqing’s phone rang, and she glanced at the screen.

“Oh, what a coincidence! Young Master Lu just invited me to a concert next Tuesday. I think I’ll skip the concert and come cheer you on instead.”

Mu Qianqian frowned and hesitantly asked, “Is Young Master Lu coming too?”

“What’s wrong, Qianqian? Don’t you welcome him?”

“No,” Mu Qianqian shook her head, “it’s just…”

She wasn’t sure how to explain to Wanqing.

Mr. doesn’t have a good impression of Young Master Lu. If Young Master Lu comes to see her competition, might it make Mr. upset?

But then she remembered, Mr. will be on a business trip next week and won’t have time to attend her competition.

So there’s no chance of them running into each other.

In that case, it shouldn’t be a problem.

“Will it disturb your date if you both come to my competition?” Mu Qianqian asked with concern.

“No, not at all. I’m so tired of those concerts. Nothing is more important than supporting my best friend at her competition!”

Mu Qianqian’s smile grew warmer. “Then I’ll make sure to perform well and give you a big surprise.”

“Great, I’m looking forward to it!”
