Chapter 510 The Blind Girl Bound by Gratitude (3)
When Yang Xue brought Mu Zhou out again, she saw the once aloof academic genius, now a rising star in scientific research, calmly waiting for someone at the entrance of the women's restroom. She felt a little strange about it.
However, a small fry like her wouldn't dare say a word in front of the big boss.
So after handing Mu Zhou back to Fu Hanji, she quickly left the scene and ran back to the lounge to sleep.
Mu Zhou took the man's arm again and said consciously:
"Let's go."
Fu Hanji's lips moved slightly, but he ultimately remained silent.
Forget it, if I tell her now that I've mistaken her for someone else, she'll probably let go of my hand immediately, and I might even be scared, which would cause trouble on the way back.
When he returned to his office, Mu Zhou rubbed his arm.
The temperature inside was too low, and she wasn't wearing much, just a thin long dress.
So she tugged at the hem of the man's shirt next to her:
"I'm a little cold, do you have a coat or a blanket?"
Fu Hanji looked at the crook of his other arm.
There lay his thin suit jacket, which he had taken off, draped over the ground.
Without much thought, he handed the suit to Mu Zhou. After realizing that she hadn't "seen" it, he hesitated for a moment and then had to drape the jacket over her shoulders.
Mu Zhou then took the initiative to extend his arm and put it on.
Just as Fu Hanji was about to step back, Mu Zhou suddenly leaned forward, wrapped her arms around his waist, and threw herself into his embrace.
She buried her face in his chest and began to whine softly:
"Brother Lanze, you're so kind. You were so cold to me when you picked me up. I thought you were angry with me because I disturbed your work."
As she spoke, she nuzzled her little head against Fu Hanji's chest again.
Fu Hanji's whole body tensed up.
The girl in his arms not only had a soft voice, but her body was also incredibly limp, so much so that he didn't even know where to put his hands when he tried to push her away.
He frowned, momentarily at a loss.
Mu Zhou was completely unaware, simply holding him tightly and enjoying this rare intimacy.
She whispered:
"Brother Lanze, this is the first time I've hugged you, and you didn't push me away. That's so nice."
The girl's soft, sweet voice carried a hint of joyful happiness, causing Fu Hanji's hand, which had just been placed on her shoulder and was about to push her away, to freeze again.
After a moment, he closed his eyes and slightly parted his tightly pursed lips.
"You got the wrong person."
The clear, cold voice was like a thunderclap, indifferent and sharp, causing Mu Zhou to freeze instantly.
She slowly released her grip, looked up in disbelief, and tried to discern something even though she couldn't see anything.
The handsome and refined man in front of her lowered his eyes and looked at her without any emotion.
Mu Zhou's face flushed bright red instantly:
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know... Thank you for taking me to the restroom."
She immediately apologized and then expressed her gratitude, looking both embarrassed and helpless.
Only at the very end did I remember to ask who he was.
"Fu Hanji".
His voice was low and hoarse. After he finished speaking, he left the office.
Mu Zhou sat down again, and only came to his senses after a moment of blankness.
She actually mistook someone for someone else and even started acting cute towards them.
She patted her burning cheeks, feeling both annoyed and embarrassed.
Not far away, a tall figure was gazing in her direction.
Fu Hanji didn't know why he couldn't help but look back before leaving.
But when he saw the girl sitting on the sofa with her body hunched over, as if she wanted to bury her face in her knees and arms, he inexplicably curled his lips.
Then he turned around and left.
As soon as he left, 0001 reminded Mu Zhou.
[The male lead Fu Hanji's affection level has increased by 5%, currently at 5%]
This is precisely why she chose to take the initiative to find Lan Ze.
Fu Hanji was there to meet the person she wanted to seduce.
*
An hour and a half later, assistant Yang Xue returned to the office with a stack of documents. She was puzzled to see Lan Ze still there.
"Director, are you still here, or have you already finished eating and come back?"
Lan Ze didn't even look up, staring at the petri dish in front of him, and said:
"They haven't left yet. Let me finish this step."
Yang Xue instantly thought of Mu Zhou's beautiful face, and couldn't help but think of the scene of her and Fu Hanji together.
However, after Fu Hanji took the initiative to summon her, she didn't have any other thoughts. She just thought that Lan Ze had asked Fu Hanji to take care of his wife.
After all, the two had a fairly good relationship.
The saying goes that the friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water, and their relationship was pretty much like that.
They didn't seem particularly close, but they were one of Fu Hanji's few friends.
The two are actually the same age, but Fu Hanji skipped more grades, so he graduated a few years earlier than Lan Ze.
Even so, Yang Xue still felt it was inappropriate to leave his wife aside.
She couldn't help but said:
"Director, what about your wife? Have you ordered food for her and sent it over yet?"
Lan Ze paused in his movements.
He then remembered that Mu Zhou was still waiting for him in the office.
*
Mu Zhou was so hungry that he had completely lost his sense of time.
Only then did footsteps sound again at the door.
Mu Zhou asked tentatively:
"Brother Lanze?"
"it's me."
She finally breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled:
"Are you done with your work? Can we go eat now?"
"it is good."
In fact, Lanze is a very punctual person.
But he usually only eats after he finishes his work, and he's not used to having someone else waiting for him at lunchtime, so he inevitably forgets.
And because Mu Zhou's attitude has always been like this, never criticizing him, Lan Ze didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him being so late.
They didn't even ask Mu Zhou if he was bored, hungry, thirsty, or needed to use the restroom during those two and a half hours by himself.
It wasn't until Mu Zhou stood up that he noticed she was wearing a suit jacket that clearly didn't fit her figure.
This is a men's suit, so oversized that it covers Mu Zhou's buttocks.
But this is not Lanze's.
He wondered:
"Whose clothes are you wearing?"
Mu Zhou paused for a moment before realizing that he was still wearing Fu Hanji's clothes.
Thinking of Fu Hanji inevitably brings to mind the embarrassing incident of mistaking someone for someone else.
Her face flushed, and she hurriedly took off her coat:
“This is your colleague Fu Hanji’s coat. He just passed by, and I thought it was you, so I told him I was cold, and he gave me his coat.”
Mu Zhou had heard of Fu Hanji's name from Lan Ze, but had never met him.
All I know is that he is the only person Lanze admires.
Lan Ze felt a little strange after hearing Fu Hanji's name.
When did Fu Hanji become so kind-hearted?
But he didn't think much of it.
Perhaps it's just because of him.
Mu Zhou handed the coat to Lan Ze, still feeling a little embarrassed:
"Could you return it to him for me? But I've worn it for so long, I wonder if he'll be disgusted by it. Should I send it to the dry cleaners first and then give it to him?"
Lan Ze didn't think much of it and subconsciously replied:
"He'll probably just throw it away, I'll just return the favor."
Fu Hanji's germaphobia was even worse than his own; how could he possibly want clothes that someone else had worn?
Mu Zhou paused, his hand still moving.
Hearing these words, a hint of hurt appeared in her eyes.
Was she being rejected?
