Sure enough, he guessed right with Wen Yuan, Zhou Muqing would never want to participate in these things with her.
For a while, Wen Yuan couldn't find a new entry point to talk about this topic, so he put it on hold for the time being. At worst, they would not go if they failed Zhou's mother's arrangement.
Zhou Muqing was determined not to go, and Wen Yuan had nothing to do.
After returning to Zhou's house, Zhou Muqing went directly into the study and started making calls. When Wen Yuan went in to deliver coffee, he happened to hear that he was calling Pippi, and made an appointment with Pippi tomorrow.
Wen Yuan originally wanted to pretend to be disturbing unconsciously, but unexpectedly, Zhou Muqing's eyes warned him to silence him the moment he entered the door.
If she was making noise under such circumstances, it was intentional, so she left weakly after delivering the coffee.
"Pippi, if you don't have time in the daytime tomorrow, what about the night?"
Zhou Muqing was rejected by Pippi's request to meet during the day, and he asked Pippi's evening time without giving up.
"I don't have time at night either."
Pippi's answer was as direct as the rejection just now, which gave Zhou Muqing a headache.
"Pippi, you might as well just say that you don't want to see me."
Zhou Muqing misunderstood what Pippi meant, and Pippi hurriedly explained, "If I really don't want to see you, I won't even answer the phone! Or if I answer the phone, I'll just say it, there's no need to give you a chance to ask me the time. "
"So you want to see me?"
"Hey, that's not what I said. It's a bit shameless to say that."
Zhou Muqing smiled, he was still happy to be bullied.
"Then tell me, do you know what to do during the day and what to do at night?"
Pippi answered Zhou Muqing's question helplessly, "I have two meetings during the day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and the time of the meeting is uncertain. After the meeting is over, I have to deal with things. How can I have the time to meet?"
"And at night?"
Zhou Muqing was unwilling to ask in the evening, and wanted to squeeze some time and opportunities for himself.
"I'm going to a dinner party tonight."
"What dinner?"
Pippi talked about the location of the dinner, and Zhou Muqing found out that it was the same one that Wen Yuan asked him to go to.
"I don't want to go either, but my dad can say it, so I'll go."
"Okay, then you go, I have no other questions."
After Zhou Muqing said this sentence, he said good night and hung up the phone. Now there is a chance to meet Pippi without asking him.
...
Early the next morning, Zhou Muqing told Wen Yuan that he agreed to attend the dinner while having breakfast.
Zhou Muqing's attitude changed so quickly that Wen Yuan felt a little uncomfortable.
"What convinced you?"
"Since my mother asked us to participate, it is a necessary activity, and she will not waste time if it is not necessary."
Zhou Muqing's explanation seemed quite reasonable, so Wen Yuan didn't ask any further questions.
Before the dinner, Zhou Muqing specially ordered a bouquet of flowers. No matter who Pippi brought, he would give this bouquet to Pippi to let the other party know of his existence.
On the way to the dinner party, Wen Yuan was very nervous the whole time, and she deliberately talked to Zhou Muqing to relieve the pressure.
"Is my dress all right?"
Zhou Muqing's thoughts were all on Pippi, completely ignoring Wen Yuan's words.
His neglect made Wen Yuan even more nervous. Mother Zhou's test was to test whether Zhou Muqing cared about Wen Yuan, and it seemed that the result had already been reached.
As soon as he arrived at the dinner venue, Zhou Muqing received the flowers.
"Mr. Zhou, here are the flowers you ordered."
The delivery personnel delivered it to the entrance of the dinner venue. When Zhou Muqing signed for the receipt, Wen Yuan looked at the flowers in his hand and became excited for a while. She guessed that this might be Zhou Muqing's surprise for herself.
