Mu Shuyao looked at his face carefully, and it was obviously worse than when he went out this morning.

"Have you eaten then? Do you want me to cook something for you? ”

Only then did Mu Shuyao remember that he had given Aunt Mei a half-day off, and if Ning Hongjie came back in the evening, then it was very likely that he hadn't eaten yet.

Sure enough, Ning Hongjie shook his head, "I haven't eaten yet, I don't know if Aunt Mei is here." ”

Mu Shuyao hurriedly put down the things in his hand, "I gave Aunt Mei a half-day off, you go and get busy first, I'll go and cook you something to eat now." ”

As he spoke, he took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen.

There were a lot of materials in the refrigerator, but Mu Shuyao still tried his best to pick out a few things quickly and simply, and then knocked on the door of Ning Hongjie's study.

Ning Hongjie was having a video conference with his subordinates, and when he saw her push open the door, he said to several high-level executives on the other end and waited, and then raised his head to look at Mu Shuyao.

Mu Shuyao didn't go in, he just pushed open the door and stood at the door and asked him, "The meal is ready, are you going to eat it in the dining room, or will it be brought to you?" ”

Ning Hongjie glanced at the few brushes on the shield and looked at his subordinates, "Eat in the dining room!" ”

Then he said to several subordinates, "I'll go to dinner, and you guys will rest for a while, and continue in half an hour." ”

When Ning Hongjie walked to the dining room, Mu Shuyao had already put the food on the table, two meats and one vegetable plus a soup, simple, each portion was not much, but it was full of color and flavor, and it made people move their appetites.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Ning Hongjie dragged away the chair and sat down, taking the soup handed over by Mu Shuyao.

Mu Shuyao walked out while undressing his apron, "No, Ruoru and I just invited John to invite them to dinner, I'll take a bath, you can just put it away after eating, I'll clean it up later." ”

Ning Hongjie waved his hand and motioned for her to hurry up.

Mu Shuyao took a bath very quickly, and when she came out of the shower, Ning Hongjie was drinking soup, and the plates on the table were empty.

Mu Shuyao went over to clean up, "Is it enough?" I'm afraid you're too full to digest, so I don't dare to do too much. ”

"The amount is just right, is there any coffee at home? Boiled me a pot. ”

Mu Shuyao doesn't like to drink coffee very much, so he doesn't pay much attention to it, and there is coffee at home, but it's all ordinary coffee.

"Yes, yes, but not a good bean."

Ning Hongjie nodded, "Well, it's all right." ”

Now Ning Hongjie feels that Mu Shuyao has a pair of skillful hands that turn decay into magic, even if it is an ordinary bean, she should be able to cook a unique taste.

When Mu Shuyao brought the brewed coffee into the study, Ning Hongjie temporarily interrupted the video again.

took a sip of coffee and squinted slightly.

She didn't disappoint him!

"The beans are average, but your coffee-making skills are very good."

Mu Shuyao smiled and handed the tray in front of him.

"Thank you! Mr. Ning will give a little tip! ”

Ning Hongjie was also amused, and drank two sips of coffee before looking at Mu Shuyao and said.

"Tomorrow night, Mrs. Chen's charity reception, let me take you to attend, you make time."

Mu Shuyao nodded.

"I'll pick you up at six o'clock and get my dress ready."

Mu Shuyao didn't know when Ning Hongjie went back to sleep in the bedroom this night, if it wasn't for the neatly stacked quilt spread there messily last night, she would have thought that guy hadn't slept for another day.

Because of the recent surge in orders, everyone in the studio has automatically pushed their working hours to the limit.

So, lately, people in the studio have been wearing the iconic dark circles under their eyes.

Rao is like this, when Mu Shuyao saw Chang Ruoru's pair of panda eyes that looked like he hadn't slept for a few days early in the morning, he was still startled.

"Ruoru, did you stay up all night last night?"

Chang Ruoru glanced at her, and stopped talking.

Mu Shuyao was inexplicable, and wanted to ask her if she was stuck in a bottleneck, but it happened that Fang Xiwen said that the partner had something to find, so she had to hurry to answer the phone and temporarily put Chang Ruoru's matter halfway.

Until lunch, Chang Ruoru came in with the lunch box of the two of them, "Shu Yao, no, we have to talk." ”

Mu Shuyao looked at her worriedly, got up and walked to her, reached out and touched her forehead, "How are you?" Got a fever? ”

Chang Ruoru tore her hand off, "I don't have a fever, I'm not sick, I'm annoyed!" ”

Mu Shu looked at her puzzled, "Annoying? ”

Chang Ruoru tugged at her hand and asked her to sit down, and asked straight to the point.

"Shu Yao, Mr. Ning's cousin, what's going on?"

Mu Shuyao was still confused, and he didn't quite understand why she suddenly pulled out an irrelevant person.

"Do you mean Ning Lifeng? What happened to him? ”

Speaking of Ning Lifeng, Mu Shuyao remembered that he and Chang Ruoru still owed this person a favor, and said that he would invite him to dinner, but he still hasn't fulfilled it.

"He chatted with me every day for the past few days, and then chatted until midnight, and I couldn't say anything because he helped us last time. But I have to work, and I can't bear him tossing like this. ”

Mu Shuyao was very surprised, and then quickly thought about things in a reasonable direction, "What did he talk to you about?" Is he trying to chase you? ”

Mu Shuyao skipped a grade in elementary school, so Chang Ruoru, who was at the same level as her, was actually two or three years older than Mu Shuyao.

Chang Ruoru, who is twenty-five or sixteen years old, is not a little girl who is ignorant of the world, so she can't tell whether the opposite sex is boring or wants to engage in ambiguity#ambiguity.

"To be honest, I don't think he's chasing me, I don't agree with him except for the right age, and I'm not in the same circle at all!"

Emotionally, Chang Ruoru has always been very calm and rational.

Mu Shuyao held the lunch box and looked at his friend curiously while eating, "What did he talk to you about?" ”

Chang Ruoru thought for a while, "Actually, if I were a little girl of seventeen or eighteen, I would definitely misunderstand that he was flirting with me, but in addition to flirting, he would always ask something about you and Mr. Ning intentionally or unintentionally, so I have reason to suspect that he doesn't want to soak me, but wants to ask me about the two of you." ”

Mu Shuyao remembered that Ning Hongjie said that he would let Ning Lifeng go to the capital to follow up on the project, and immediately became alert.

"You don't mind if I talk to Hongjie about this, do you? You should also pay more attention, I don't know much about his cousin, but his second uncle and aunt are not fuel-efficient lamps, and the standard of his daughter-in-law is estimated to be not ordinarily high. ”

Chang Ruoru nodded, "You can talk to Mr. Ning, as for me, you can rest assured, I have no idea about him at all." ”

In the evening, Ning Hongjie arrived at Yao Xiang at six o'clock on time, changed into the dress that Mu Shuyao helped him choose, and went to Mrs. Chen's appointment together.

On the way, Mu Shuyao briefly told Chang Ruoru about it.

Ning Hongjie's face was a little solemn, "Well, I'll pay close attention." ”

Mu Shuyao only finished the matter and finished it, and did not express any opinions.

After all, in Ning Hongjie's place, no matter how different Ning Lifeng and him were, they were always cousins, with similar blood.

And she is a real outsider.
