Lu Xue herself didn't notice anything wrong. She walked in boldly all the way until she stood in front of Mu Yuze. When she met the amazed look in Mu Yuze's eyes, she suddenly realized that her outfit today might be a bit too eye - catching.
Mu Yuze had already stood up to greet her. The two looked into each other's eyes and were momentarily speechless.
Lu Xue remembered that she had made a fool of herself after getting drunk last night and was seen by Mu Yuze. She felt a bit embarrassed.
Mu Yuze was stunned by Lu Xue's unexpectedly gentle and sweet appearance. He stood there not knowing what to say.
As they remained silent for too long, Yan Hua beside them gave a light cough to break the ice.
"Miss Lu Xue, did you come here today specially to visit our boss?"
Lu Xue nodded and silently placed the thermos box in her hand on the office desk. She said in a low voice,
"This is the soup taught by Aunt Chen. She said it's good for the body, so I brought it here on my way."
After saying this, Lu Xue turned around and was about to leave.
Yan Hua finally caught the key point. What Aunt Chen taught her to make, what the soup was good for the body. In fact, it was Lu Xue who made the soup herself and brought it to the company!
If one didn't listen carefully, it would be hard to figure out the subject, predicate and object right away.
Yan Hua immediately stepped forward, took the thermos box and thanked her seriously.
Lu Xue didn't want to stay there any longer. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she left. From beginning to end, she didn't have a single word with Mu Yuze.
After she left, Yan Hua walked back with a smile on his face. He leaned close to Mu Yuze and whispered,
"Boss, why were you stunned when Miss Lu Xue came? Don't tell me you weren't touched at all when she came all the way to bring you soup."
Mu Yuze's ears turned slightly red. He glanced at the direction where Lu Xue had disappeared in the distance. Then he turned around and sat back at his desk pretending to be calm, continuing to review the documents.
Seeing that Mu Yuze insisted on keeping a straight face, Yan Hua playfully leaned forward and said, "Since the boss is not interested in this soup, I'll take it and drink it. After all, we can't waste it!" As he said, he was about to reach for the thermos box.
Mu Yuze suddenly reached out his hand and moved the thermos box towards himself. His cold eyes fixed on Yan Hua's face.
"When did I say I wouldn't drink it?"
Seeing that his boss's ears were slightly red, Yan Hua stopped teasing him.
"Okay, okay. Since it's the soup made by Miss Lu Xue herself, it inevitably gives a feeling of being in love. Usually, we've never seen Miss Lu Xue being so caring towards you. What on earth happened between the two of you?"
Mu Yuze stared at him for a moment. Yan Hua felt inexplicably guilty and slowly stepped back.
"Got it, boss. I won't talk anymore. I'll go back to work!"
In the office alone, Mu Yuze finally stopped what he was doing. His gentle eyes lingered on the thermos box for a long time.
Since he had known Lu Xue for so long, this was the first time she had taken the initiative to show kindness. He just didn't know what it meant.
He gently opened the thermos box and saw the layers of packaging inside.
To prevent the soup from spilling, each layer was well - packed. He opened the inner boxes one by one and finally saw the small bowl of soup inside. A few green scallions were floating on it, giving off a fragrant smell.
Mu Yuze felt a softness in his heart. He was a bit reluctant to drink it and just stared at it for a long time.
Sitting in his seat, he was like a willow branch swaying gently in spring. He was in an extremely good mood, and even the air flowing around him seemed to slow down a bit.
If Yan Hua had pushed the door open at this moment, he would have found that there were pink bubbles floating around his boss, just like the feeling of being in love.
As soon as Lu Xue got home, Aunt Chen came up and asked her, "How was it? Did you deliver it? What was the young master's reaction?"
Lu Xue thought for a while and answered truthfully, "I delivered it, but I didn't see any reaction on his face."
Aunt Chen got anxious. "Not even the slightest reaction? Did you two say anything?"
Lu Xue shook her head. "We didn't say much. I put down the soup and came back."
Aunt Chen's original expectation was dashed. She could only sigh.
It was supposed to be a good thing, but why did Lu Xue handle it so stiffly?
Aunt Chen thought about observing Mu Yuze's expression when he got home. She waited all afternoon and finally, in the evening, Mu Yuze came back from the company.
He came back half an hour earlier than usual. But when he entered the door, his face was still cold and expressionless. Even when he saw Lu Xue, he didn't ask any questions. Instead, he went straight upstairs as usual.
Seeing that her young master's expression was the same as usual, Aunt Chen thought that he probably didn't understand Lu Xue's intention of making the soup secretly...
It seemed that this trip was in vain. Aunt Chen felt even more regretful.
