Chapter 1954: Chapter 1954: Mirror World (31)
Cheng Mu saw Li Huan off, and after returning, he casually asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Taking care of something."
"..."
Taking care of what? Just now, that man? No matter how you look at it, she seemed to be bullying and threatening him.
Cheng Mu didn’t ask further and changed the topic.
In the last two days of chatting, most of the questions were from Cheng Mu, with Chuzheng simply answering. Chuzheng asked very few questions, but whenever she did, they were always direct and sharp.
"I have something to ask you."
"Hmm?" Cheng Mu gestured for Chuzheng to ask, promising to cooperate fully with his answers.
"Do you remember ’Fanxing’?"
Chuzheng had just confirmed that the dot on the small map was likely to be this person in front of her.
So the president they were looking for was her Good Person Card?
"Fanxing?" Cheng Mu’s face was puzzled: "What is that?"
"A game." Chuzheng observed Cheng Mu’s expression: "A holographic game."
"Never heard of it." Cheng Mu shook his head: "Is there such a game in the market?"
"You really don’t remember anything?"
Cheng Mu found Chuzheng’s question odd: "What am I supposed to remember?" He was sure he hadn’t experienced any memory loss, so what’s she implying?
"Where did you come from, and what are you here to do?"
Cheng Mu shrugged, a smile on his lips: "From the past, to have you."
Chuzheng: "..."
Who wants to hear you say that? She was talking business.
Chuzheng asked a few more questions, confirming that Cheng Mu truly remembered nothing.
According to what those people outside were saying, if Cheng Mu remembers nothing, it’s definitely because he is trapped in here, with his memories completely inheriting the character’s memories, making him think he’s someone from here.
To bring him out, it’s imperative to make him remember.
So the question arises—how to make him remember?
Chuzheng tried to explain to Cheng Mu, but Cheng Mu was utterly confused, showing no signs of recollection.
Instead, Cheng Mu felt that Chuzheng was acting weird.
To avoid being seen as a lunatic by her Good Person Card, Chuzheng didn’t bring it up much.
-
Cheng Mu decided not to go abroad anymore and shifted his work focus domestically. During this period, he was busy with work matters.
Chuzheng’s time to meet him was reduced, but Cheng Mu would call her when he was free, rambling for a long time, only to be ruthlessly hung up by Chuzheng.
Chuzheng was busy with design drafts, busy being extravagant, busy being a good person; she didn’t have much time to listen to his meaningless chatter.
Chuzheng took the documents and left home under Father Yuk’s reminder, while answering Dai Mi’s urging calls.
As soon as the call connected, Dai Mi skipped the small talk and directly got to the point: "President Yuk, according to our quarterly report..."
Chuzheng pushes open the courtyard gate, and her eyes are met with a cluster of vividly blooming red roses, held by a man, standing tall and graceful, with a gentle smile, his eyes soft.
"Morning." The man’s clear voice fell into Chuzheng’s ear, overshadowing Dai Mi’s voice.
Chuzheng paused: "What are you doing?"
Cheng Mu lowered the flowers, holding them against his chest: "Don’t want to see me?"
"No..."
"President Yuk? Who are you talking to? Did you hear what I just said? You have an interview today, when are you coming to the office? I’ll schedule it on my end..."
Chuzheng held back and said into the phone, "I’ll be right there." She hung up.
Cheng Mu raised his eyebrows, pushing the flowers forward. Chuzheng isn’t the type to be coy, so she accepted them directly and hooked Cheng Mu’s neck to give him a kiss.
"Yuk Chuzheng, who is he!" Father Yuk’s voice rang from upstairs, sounding incredulous: "Stay right there, don’t move!"
After speaking, Father Yuk disappeared from the balcony, clearly coming down.
Chuzheng pulled Cheng Mu away.
"Hmm... shouldn’t we wait for your dad?"
"Wait for him to scold us?"
"Isn’t it bad? He’s your dad, and I just leave like this..." This is the first time meeting the father-in-law, what if the impression is bad?
"Shut up."
Chuzheng quickly walked out of the alley with Cheng Mu, stuffing him into a car by the roadside, leaving swiftly.
Cheng Mu fastened his seatbelt, remained silent for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "You don’t want me... to meet your dad?"
"What are you thinking?"
Cheng Mu felt a bit disappointed, when she asked like that, it must mean she wouldn’t want... Cheng Mu laughed: "Nothing."
"If my dad catches you, neither of us will get any business done today." Chuzheng said indifferently: "I have things to do today, no time to listen to my dad’s nonsense."
"??? So it’s not that you don’t want him to meet your parents? Cheng Mu’s momentary disappointment vanished without a trace.
But...
Why was he seated in the passenger seat?
Wasn’t he supposed to pick her up?
Chuzheng dropped Cheng Mu off at his company building downstairs, Cheng Mu unlocked the seatbelt: "Baby, my car is still outside your house, mind picking me up after work?"
That ’baby’ sounded so natural and smooth.
Chuzheng also responded naturally: "Mm."
Cheng Mu pushed open the car door, just about to step out, but pulled his foot back in, closed the door, and turned to look at Chuzheng.
"Any other matters?"
Cheng Mu leaned his face over: "Give me a kiss."
Five minutes later, Cheng Mu got out of the car looking a bit disheveled, his face showing a slight, unnatural blush, closed the car door, and quickly entered the company with his head down.
Chuzheng watched his figure disappear through the company door before starting the car and leaving.
-
Chuzheng knew returning home would definitely mean being stopped by Father Yuk, but she didn’t expect him to be sitting at the front door.
Chuzheng calmly walked inside.
"You still know to come home?"
"Dad." Chuzheng stood obediently at the door.
"Who was that guy this morning?"
"Boyfriend."
Father Yuk almost choked: "You... when did you start dating?"
Chuzheng thought for a moment: "A while ago."
"Kids dating is a good thing, why are you so worked up." Mother Yuk came over and pulled Father Yuk aside, tugging his arm: "Take it easy, the kid’s mental state isn’t great to begin with, what’s wrong with having a boyfriend."
Father Yuk looked furious, like ’my golden cabbage has been ravaged by a wild boar’: "What’s his background? Can he be relied upon? What if she’s deceived!!"
Chuzheng: "..."
If anyone’s deceiving, it’s me deceiving the Good Person Card.
Chuzheng went through Father Yuk’s interrogation, finally ending up half-dead in her room, face down on the bed.
Eventually, Chuzheng dug out her phone and sent Cheng Mu a message asking him to come over to her place the next day.
[Cheng Mu: ?]
[Chuzheng: My parents want to meet you.]
[Cheng Mu: Oh, alright.]
Cheng Mu replied and then went silent, entirely unlike his usual long-winded chatter.
At this moment, Cheng Mu was staring blankly at his phone.
So soon having to meet the parents... what should he prepare? What if they don’t like him?
After all, being in a relationship for the first time, Cheng Mu wasn’t familiar with the protocol, so he decided to enlist external help!
Li Huan looked more disgusted than eating a fly when he heard Cheng Mu was meeting the parents.
From when he returned to the country to now, how much time has passed? And he already left the single brigade and stepped on the grand path of meeting the in-laws, this is way too fast, damn it!!
