"Is the pen I gave you easy to use?" Xiao Zhan suddenly felt that she did not hear his question and asked her again.

"Um... Shun... "Easy." She replied with her eyes closed, feeling so weak that she lost all strength.

If you run out of ink, then remember to tell me. I'll send someone to deliver it to you. There was a trace of pride in his tone.

"Yes."

She made random promises in her heart and unconsciously clenched her hands. She felt a thin layer of sweat appearing on her palm.

"Young Miss, it's time to eat dinner." Aunt Liu's voice came from downstairs.

Mu Nuanzhou listened, it was simply like a heavenly music to the ears.

"Alright, I'll be there right away."

"Mammy called me for dinner. I have to hang up now." She finally found a reason to interrupt him.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Nuanzhou pressed his heart which was thumping hard.

What should he do?

He had asked her about the pen, and she had lied!

Guilt, guilt, guilt, and other negative emotions came one after another, leaving her at a loss.

No, she had to get the pen back from Mu Qingqing as soon as possible before he realized it!

After hanging up, Xiao Zhan held up the extremely good looking pearl necklace. Using the faint yellow light of the lamp in his study, he looked around with a smile, and saw that the pearls were all round, smooth, full of luster, and exuded a low-key yet extraordinary noble aura. Such a good object, only his girl was worthy of using it.

"Dong Dong Dong", someone knocked on the door.

After putting down the necklace that he was so fond of, Xiao Zhan put it away with a face full of gentleness. " "Come in."

"Xiao Shuai, there's a girl called Mu Qingqing outside. She wants to see you." The servant reported respectfully.

"Mu Qingqing?" Xiao Zhan frowned, he quickly searched his mind for memories, and remembered who she was, and also remembered that she was sad for Mu Nuanzhou. With a cold snort, she decisively declined. "I won't see her. Let her go back, and don't appear in front of my house ever again."

"Yes." The servant replied and left.

It was already too late. The sky was dark and it was drizzling with rain. Mu Qingqing stood alone under the umbrella in the cold wind and couldn't help but shiver.

It had cooled down today, but she was wearing very little. Inside her black coat, she was wearing only the most obvious woolen cheongsam with a pair of velvet high heels. She looked very slim and elegant.

It wasn't that she wasn't afraid of the cold, but she was more afraid of ugly things. Therefore, she would rather freeze her teeth to the point of fighting back than come to see Xiao Zhan.

When she saw the maid who had passed down the message to her, the smile that had disappeared from her face as she waited in the cold wind returned. She eagerly asked: "Hello, may I ask about Xiao Shuai's …"

"I'm sorry, Xiao Shuai said that he won't meet you, and told you not to appear here in the future either." The servant's words were like a resounding slap in the face, landing on Mu Qingqing's face.

The smile that was difficult to gather on her face disappeared once again.

"How... "How is that possible!?" How could Xiao Zhan say such a thing, how could he refuse so mercilessly!

Could it be because of Mu Nuanzhou? He felt that she and Mu Nuanzhou were not on good terms, so he didn't want to see her?

"My apologies young lady, you should leave." The servant looked at her sympathetically, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

How could Mu Qingqing be willing!

She had waited for a few days and even braved the rain and wind to come find him. Was it because she heard how he had rejected her?

No, she must see him today!
