She accidentally saw that video just now, the man’s tall and distinguished figure so eye-catching, yet the way he stood in front of the shelf with his head down, selecting things, was something she had never seen before.
She noticed that he was choosing some snacks, things he... never ate, and in the shopping cart beside him, there were also some ingredients. For Mu Xingfeng to enter a supermarket and personally pick these things, he must really like that girl, right?
She never knew Mu Xingfeng had such a side, she had grown accustomed to his coolness like the moon, used to his iron-blooded indifference. But when she saw this side of him, she had to admit, at that moment, her heart almost bled.
So, he also had such a gentle side, such a careful side. But his gentleness never belonged to her.
As the sky turned pale in the east, Lin Ruonan made a decision, picked up her phone, and booked a flight ticket back to the Imperial City.
"What? She checked out already?"
Early in the morning, Lin Junyang went to the hotel, but the front desk told him that Lin Ruonan had already checked out. Yesterday, she clearly said that today he, her little brother, would take her on a one-day tour of Nan’an. How could she leave without even saying a word? Could something have happened? Could it be that she also saw that video?
At this thought, Lin Junyang irritably loosened his collar, picked up the phone and dialed her number.
"Sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off."
The mechanical response from the phone indicated she was probably already on the plane.
Lin Junyang then called Mu Xingfeng.
Mu Xingfeng’s internal clock was always very precise. He woke up at five o’clock, seeing that An Ran’s bedroom door was still closed, assuming the little girl was still asleep. After washing up, he went downstairs for a run, and then conveniently bought two portions of breakfast from outside.
Carrying soy milk, deep-fried dough sticks, and steamed buns, Mu Xingfeng actually felt a sense of fullness from thinking about someone. He wondered if the little girl would be moved when she saw the food in his hands. But when he opened the door, the room was already empty.
The door to the guest bedroom was open, the quilt folded neatly, and An Ran’s shoes at the entrance were also gone. He had clearly come back before she went to work. Could it be that this little girl was deliberately avoiding him?
Placing the breakfast on the dining table, Mu Xingfeng started eating by himself. For some reason, the fragrant buns suddenly lost their flavor.
Just then, his phone rang. Mu Xingfeng glanced at the caller ID and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Boss, what are you doing? Are you up?"
"Damn, Boss, could it be that you haven’t gotten up yet? Looks like you had a wild night."
"Hey, speak up, Boss... huh? It’s connected but why is there no sound? Did you accidentally press the answer button? Ugh, is this the early morning routine to feed us single dogs dog food?"
"Hmm? This is unscientific. Why aren’t these two talking?"
Listening to Lin Junyang’s increasingly outrageous words on the phone, Mu Xingfeng finally picked up the phone and said in a cold, low voice, "What’s the matter? Speak."
Damn, this is definitely frustrated desire.
Lin Junyang ranted in his heart but didn’t dare to say it out loud. Returning to the main topic, he asked, "My sister left, did you know?"
"Ruonan left? When did she leave?" Mu Xingfeng asked calmly.
"I’m at the hotel now, the front desk said she already checked out. So she didn’t say goodbye to you either?"
"No," Mu Xingfeng responded.
