She had really only wanted to grab the chopsticks to pick up a dish just to shut his mouth.
But she had not foreseen this deeper implication.
Indeed, Jian Ran found that after she made this move, the atmosphere became even more awkward.
It was somewhat intimate now.
Jian Ran felt somewhat at a loss and explained, “Mo Chen is usually very busy with work, so it’s normal for him to not remember what I like to eat.”
“Ran girl, stop making excuses for Mr.
Gu, our Ran girl is very picky about what she eats.
our Ran girl likes sour and spicy flavors…
she can eat sour and spicy shredded potatoes, but definitely wouldn’t touch green pepper shredded potatoes.”
“Our Ran girl likes her yam boiled, not stir-fried; she likes her potatoes fried, not boiled.”
“As for vegetables, our Ran girl likes the ones that grow in water, with water celery being the best choice of all.”
Listening to Qin Mu’s words, some of them seemed rather hazy to Jian Ran.
Because she didn’t remember that clearly herself.
Some minor details of life had slowly turned into habits, and she hadn’t expected Qin Mu to remember them so vividly.
She remembered how she used to disparage Qin Mu in their childhood for his casual attitude, doing nothing serious.
Now she was beginning to understand that Qin Mu wasn’t careless about life, but simply had his own logic of living…
All roads lead to Rome, and he chose to carve out his own path.
Thinking back on that time, Jian Ran still felt she had been too foolish.
Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes again; he had already felt that Qin Mu’s feelings for Jian Ran were extremely deep.
Now, he realized it wasn’t just about depth; those feelings were etched into his marrow.
His thin lips curved slightly, and bizarrely, he felt somewhat relieved that Jian Ran wasn’t the kind of woman who would casually turn to a friend for help when facing difficulties.
If, two years ago, during her time of great financial need, she had chosen Qin Mu…
Perhaps, his marriage with her would not have existed.
At the dining table, because Qin Mu had eloquently listed all of Jian Ran’s preferences, the atmosphere turned awkward again, solidifying into ice.
Old Master Qin was even more furious, his face reddening with anger.
Qin Dad and Qin Mom hurriedly tried to soothe him: “Qin San, can you say less, please?
Look how you’ve angered the Old Master.”
Qin San is too young, he’s just too impulsive.
If he has offended you in any way, I apologize on his behalf.
Please don’t take it to heart.”
Although the Qin Family was also quite respected in Yuncheng City and involved in both the business and political arenas,
Gu Mochen was in control of the entire business pulse of Yuncheng City.
In Yuncheng City, if Gu Mochen were to become unhappy, just a stomp of his foot would be enough to shake the city.
Old Master Qin was wary of Gu Mochen.
No matter how powerful Dongheng International was, it was like an egg against a rock in front of the Gu Family.
This repeated provocation of Gu Mochen by Qin Mu was truly not a good move.
If Gu Mochen were to get angry, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jian Ran also felt that something was off, and upon noticing Gu Mochen’s unreadable expression of calm and serenity, she quickly picked up a lion’s head meatball with her chopsticks and placed it into Gu Mochen’s bowl.
look, how thoughtful Qin San is, reminding you of what I like to eat…
it’s good for strengthening our relationship…”
