Chapter 18 - Meeting him for Lunch (2/2)
She blinked a few times to make sure that she wasn't seeing things. Seeing the handsome figure rush over to her side with a worried expression, she smiled.
Chen Mu knelt down, brushed her palms away from her forehead, and felt her forehead using his hand, ”What's wrong? You don't look good.”
”Nothing. I stood up too fast and felt a little dizzy. It's just a lack of sleep.” Her gaze remained on the worried man in front of her. The creases on his forehead deepened as he noticed her pale expression.
”Didn't you say that the Tian family treated you well? How come you're out all alone in this weather? Did you eat properly? Let's go to the doctor.” He stacked question after question, not allowing her time to even respond. It's as if these questions weren't for her, but for himself.
She chuckled, ”It's not serious. Really. Don't worry too much.”
Her hands were ice cold, making him frown. ”Don't worry? Your hands are this cold and you're still sitting on this freezing bench! Here, take my gloves and we'll go somewhere warm first.”
”Ahem.” A man's deep hoarse voice startled Chen Mu and Susu.
Chen Mu took off his gloves and slipped it onto Susu's hands before turning around and scratching the back of his head, ”Ahahahaha, Zhi Hei... Sorry I forgot that we were together!”
Zhi Hei took a glance towards Susu and said, ”Let's go somewhere warm. She looks pretty cold.”
”Eh? You know who she is already?” Chen Mu helped her up from the bench and supported her until they've reached the restaurant. After settling down, Chen Mu cleaned the utensils for Susu while ordering without having to look at the menu. Everything he ordered was Susu's favorite dim sums.
Although Zhi Hei didn't speak on their way to the restaurant, Chen Mu knew that the moment he rushed over to her anxiously, he already gave away her identity. Other than Susu and his mother, nobody could make him this nervous.
Zhi Hei poured tea into Susu's tea cup and gestured for her to drink the tea. She nodded, ”Thank you. Um..Sorry for the late introduction, my name is Yin Susu.” Even though she married Tian Yuo, she never changed her surname because she believed that the marriage would eventually come to an end with their complicated relationship.
Zhi Hei shook her hands with a smile on his face, ”I'm Huang Zhi Hei. Pleasure to meet you. I've heard quite a bit about you from Chen Mu.”
Susu shot stares at Chen Mu and wondered about the things that he might have said to his friends behind her back. Zhi Hei sipped his tea and then added, ”Everything he said were compliments and positive stuff. My ears almost felt like it melted and didn't belong to me after hearing the countless things that he said about you.”
Under the table, Chen Mu stomped onto Zhi Hei's foot. He immediately changed the topic, ”Oh, right. Were you running errands around here?”
Susu gasped, ”Oh yeah! I have a list of items that needs to be bought and sent to a model by midnight!”
”Huh? Why?” Chen Mu questioned suspiciously. 'Susu's previous position had nothing to do with models, so why would she have to deliver products to a model?'
”Oh. Tian Yuo called me out to watch him have lunch with the model. After seeing me, he handed me this list of items that he prepared for the girl's birthday.”
”What?!” Chen Mu furiously slammed his palm against the smooth surface of the table almost knocking over the tea.
