Chapter 41 - Green Roses

Under a starry night, the night life of the capital city had just started .

"Want to go somewhere to have fun?" Mu Mingcheng asked as he stood in front of car, checking his watch .

After leaving Yuqing Pavilion, he immediately put his glasses back on, giving off an innocent, social elite look .

Mu Mingcheng thought to himself, no matter how mature Gu Jin is, she was still a twenty-year-old girl . Going shopping together would be a good way to grow their relationship .

Seeing Mu Mingcheng's face up close was certainly pleasing to the eye . Just earlier, Gu Jin couldn't resist the temptation and ate some spicy-sour food that gave her a slight stomach ache . But now she was feeling much better .

Normally Gu Jin would have refused his invitation .

Still, she had just promised Cheng Xin that she would attend the banquet at the Jing's household, and she needed a dress for the occasion .

The original host's wardrobe was outdated in fashion which is why Gu Jin wanted to shop for a gown at the mall . It didn't have to be the best, but she at least didn't want to embarrass herself .

Gu Jin had matters to attend to the next two days, and since tonight was free she decided to save a trip and buy a dress .

As a matter of fact, it would give Mu Mingcheng the opportunity to experience the "wonderful" feeling of accompanying a lady's shopping trip .

So Gu Jin nodded and said: "I want to buy clothes at the mall . "

During dinner assistant Fang had disappeared, but the muscular yet inconspicuous assistant had suddenly reappeared out of nowhere .

"Sir . "

Assistant Fang had seen the two come out and stepped forward . He looked at Gu Jin, who wanted to continue the conversation with Mu Mingcheng but stopped .

Gu Jin's words halted at the edge of her mouth . She looked over her shoulder and pointed to some flower pots near the door and, smiling, said . "That type of flower is very rare . My father likes these things, I'll go and have a look . "

Mu Mingcheng grabbed her arm, and his eyes shone under the gold wire glasses as he gently said: "If Professor Gu likes flowers then I'll have assistant Fang send some to him . Consider it as a gift from me as his junior . "

Afterwards, he shot a cold gaze towards assistant Fang: "If you have something to say then don't hold back!"

"Yes . " As assistant Fang recovered from the shock he said with a serious expression, "Master Xu called, requesting you to go to his estate . "

The gold wire glasses flashed in the dim light . "Did he mention what matter is it regarding?" Mu Mingcheng sneered .

"Master Xu didn't say, but I asked people from the Xu estate . Grandpa Xu is sick and wants to talk to you . "

Assistant Fang took a quiet look at the green roses in front of the store . Except for the color, there was nothing special about it .

Even without mentioning how affluent the Mu family is, the scholarly Gu should be aware of this fact right?

It was no wonder that Mr . Mu would like this girl; she was smart and knew when to act .

Although she appeared gentle on the surface, Gu Jin completely overturned her previous image and elevated herself to a whole new level .
