Chapter 1372: Chapter 1525: I Wonder If That Little Woman... Misses Her?
Tao Zhixiang was utterly stunned.
Yes, today is her birthday.
However, she hadn’t celebrated her birthday for years, and after such a long time, she had almost forgotten about it.
But, He Muyang... actually knew it was her birthday!
In that instant, Tao Zhixiang felt deeply moved, her eyes tingling with emotion.
"Senior, thank you!"
He Muyang smiled, "Come on, light the candles, make a wish!"
Tao Zhixiang: "..."
She’s not a child anymore, do they still do this?
But He Muyang had already placed the candles and lit them up.
"Quickly, make a wish!"
He Muyang gently urged, and Tao Zhixiang’s mind was a bit scattered.
Make a wish?
Right now...
What wish... can she make?
Looking at the flickering little flames, Tao Zhixiang’s heart was in turmoil, she couldn’t even come up with a proper wish...
But, with He Muyang watching her, she had no choice but to close her eyes and silently make a wish.
Then... may her mother be safe and sound, and her family happy and joyful!
As Tao Zhixiang closed her eyes to make a wish, He Muyang looked at her like that.
This girl, who used to be so bright, now had eyes shrouded in a layer of weariness and a kind of undeserved melancholy beyond her age.
When Tao Zhixiang opened her eyes, He Muyang concealed the concern in his eyes with a faint smile.
"Alright, you can blow out the candles now!"
Tao Zhixiang smiled, took a deep breath, and blew out the candles.
"Wow, didn’t know you had good lung capacity!" He Muyang joked with her.
The atmosphere became lively.
That evening, He Muyang ordered a few dishes, beautifully presented with rich and pleasant flavors.
However, since He Muyang was driving, they didn’t drink alcohol; they just had some fruit juice.
Midway through, Tao Zhixiang excused herself to go to the restroom but went to the counter to pay the bill, only to be told that their table had already been settled!
Who else could it be? Of course, it was He Muyang!
At that moment, Tao Zhixiang couldn’t quite describe her feelings inside.
And right at that moment, a cold and sharp gaze fell on Tao Zhixiang’s back.
That person was Chu Mucheng.
Seeing the short-haired woman walking down the corridor towards the other side, Chu Mucheng frowned.
That woman’s silhouette... why does it resemble Tao Zhixiang so much?
Yet, that woman had short hair, while Tao Zhixiang... has long, smooth black hair!
So, how could it be her?
Most likely... he was seeing things!
A few days ago, a foreign company wanted to cooperate with Hong’an on a project, and afterwards, he traveled abroad to negotiate this project, only flying back this morning, and in the afternoon, he had another project to handle, so he just rested briefly and continued to socialize.
Speaking of which, he was feeling a bit exhausted now.
The silhouette of that woman had just disappeared, but Tao Zhixiang’s delicate face surfaced in Chu Mucheng’s mind.
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, he initially thought he could make it back, but in the end, he couldn’t!
When he finished his work and wanted to call her, he realized it was already late, and by then, she probably... had already gone to bed!
Ultimately, that call was never made.
And now, Chu Mucheng really wanted to finish this social engagement earlier, to get back sooner...
Having not seen her for days, he really... misses her!
He wonders if that little woman has... missed him?
