In the evening, when Mu Jiangfeng arrived at the apartment, Lan Baobao was lying on the bed, lightly asleep, looking very quiet and adorable.
Mu Jiangfeng watched her for a while, and thinking about what he was about to do, he couldn't help but feel excited. He quietly closed the door and continued with his plan.
He wanted to prepare a romantic candlelight dinner to surprise Lan Baobao when she woke up. Initially, he was unsure of how to cover it up, but now that Lan Baobao was asleep, it was truly a blessing.
Mu Jiangfeng's cooking skills were not exceptional, but among all the career-oriented men, he could definitely be considered outstanding, especially when it came to cooking steak. He had a special fondness for steak, so his level of skill in making it was a bit higher.
In just half an hour, two fresh pan-seared steaks were ready. They looked delicious and aromatic, showing a certain level of craftsmanship. Mu Jiangfeng nodded in satisfaction; it seemed that knowing a bit of cooking really had its advantages at such crucial moments.
Then, Mu Jiangfeng took out the chilled red wine and prepared salad and dessert. Finally, he brought out all the items he bought to decorate the room.
He instructed the staff from the company to prepare scented candles for him, which he arranged around the dining table in various artistic shapes.
Mu Jiangfeng slowly lit the candles, and the fragrant aroma immediately wafted out—a subtle rose scent that was truly comforting.
He was quite satisfied with the effect of these candles!
After creating a romantic atmosphere for the candlelight dinner near the dining table in the living room, he placed the two steaks on the table.
Looking at this charming environment, Mu Jiangfeng couldn't help but admire himself!
He was considering how to wake Lan Baobao without making her irritable.
At that moment, Lan Baobao caught a whiff of a rich aroma that slightly awakened her senses.
Moreover, due to some internal pressure that could no longer hold a certain liquid, Lan Baobao promptly opened her sleepy eyes and walked into the living room.
She initially just wanted to go to the bathroom, but in the dark she saw several strange candle flames flickering in the living room and heard a dark voice floating around—it looked just like something out of a horror movie.
Being alone in a room made Lan Baobao so frightened that her spirit seemed to vanish; her earlier intention of going to the bathroom instantly disappeared.
Could it be that she had watched too many horror movies recently and was hallucinating? No way; wasn't Detective Conan considered a horror movie?
Lan Baobao shrank back, thinking that if it was a ghost fire, she might as well sneak out while the other party hadn't noticed.
Being scolded by Mu Jiangfeng was certainly better than being haunted by ghost fire!
Lan Baobao had only taken two steps when suddenly the firelight flickered and rushed towards her from across the room.
"Ghost! Don't come over here!"
She had still been a bit drowsy, just about to lament how well she had slept and how she didn't have to suffer from insomnia, but this sudden scare completely chased away her sleepiness.
She covered her head and turned to run, but the ghostly figure behind her suddenly lunged forward and grabbed her.
Lan Baobao screamed in fright and shouted at the top of her lungs!
"Ah! There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"
"Lan Baobao, it's me! It's me, Mu Jiangfeng!"
Mu Jiangfeng had been focused on preparing his surprise and hadn't noticed that Lan Baobao had quietly opened the door and walked out of the room.
He had only lit a few candles to test them, not all of them. With the lights in the room turned off, from a distance, it really did look like there was a ghost floating inside.
Mu Jiangfeng could understand that, but... ah, Lan Baobao's scream was truly impressive! The whole apartment shook three times from her voice!
So Lan Baobao's earlier roar had scared him quite a bit too.
Mu Jiangfeng quickly picked up a candle and walked in front of Lan Baobao, covering her mouth with one hand while waving the candle flame in front of her with the other.
Once the candlelight got close enough to Lan Baobao, illuminating Mu Jiangfeng's face, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Lan Baobao, it's me, Mu Jiangfeng. Please don't be so scared!"
Huh? Mu Jiangfeng?
"You are Mu Jiangfeng!" Lan Baobao came to her senses and forcefully pulled Mu Jiangfeng's hand away.
She looked closely at him; although the candlelight was a bit dim, it was enough to clearly illuminate Mu Jiangfeng's face.
"Is it really you? You... oh my, you scared me to death!" Lan Baobao gasped, completely bewildered as to why Mu Jiangfeng would do such a thing.
Her heart was filled with confusion. Why had this person, who hadn't appeared for so long, suddenly shown up like a ghost, sneaking around in the dark without turning on the lights and playing with candles in the room?
If he wanted to light candles, fine, but why was he being so secretive? Was he hiding from something?
"You really scared me! What are you doing? Did the power go out at home? Or is the fuse blown?" Lan Baobao snatched the candle from Mu Jiangfeng's hand and waved it in front of him, finally asking with a look of lingering fright.
"It's not broken." This romantic situation had turned into a horror movie or a boring prank for Lan Baobao, which left Mu Jiangfeng feeling somewhat defeated. However, in order not to ruin the atmosphere, he maintained a serious demeanor.
"Really?" Lan Baobao's mind was still trying to catch up. This was his own house; why was he acting like a thief? Doubting him, she took two steps back and fumbled around the wall until she finally found the switch for the living room.
With a click, the entire living room instantly brightened up. The once bright candlelight in her hand now flickered weakly.
Mu Jiangfeng helplessly rubbed his forehead.
Lan Baobao, what an impressive woman! Her destructive power was even greater than that of a typhoon!
The originally lovely atmosphere was completely shattered, and Mu Jiangfeng felt like he could collapse from frustration!
Clearly, at that moment, Lan Baobao still hadn't fully recovered. She unceremoniously blew out the candle in her hand and handed it back to Mu Jiangfeng, while also giving him an incomprehensible look, perhaps questioning whether this guy's brain had been squeezed by the door.
Then she continued to wander off in a daze toward the bathroom, leaving Mu Jiangfeng with an overwhelming urge to bang his head against the wall.
She felt a deep sense of frustration. Why play this candle game late at night? With lights available, why choose to play with fire in the room?
Did she not know that this could easily lead to a fire?
At this age, still doing such brainless things, I really can't stand Lan Baobao.
She pouted, looking disdainful, and Mu Jiangfeng wished he could just slap himself with a frying pan.
Encountering a woman like Lan Baobao, who is so scatterbrained and straightforward, even a deity wouldn't be able to ensure the plan goes smoothly!
Watching Lan Baobao yawn and walk into the bathroom without any grace, Mu Jiangfeng felt that today’s plans might just go down the drain!
In an instant, Mu Jiangfeng felt a wave of dejection wash over him.
He had calculated many things, but he hadn't accounted for Lan Baobao's personality and quirks, which likely meant she wouldn't cooperate with his plans.
Fortunately, Lan Baobao wasn't completely oblivious!
Even if her eyesight wasn't great, at least her nose for discovering delicious food was still sharp.
When she came out of the restroom and saw what looked like a beautiful steak on the table, she was completely captivated.
These days, since Mu Jiangfeng hadn't been cooking for herself and only knew to eat unhealthy fast food, it made Lan Baobao want to vomit. Now that she finally had access to a hot meal like this, if it weren't for Mu Jiangfeng being present, she would have pounced on it like a starving wolf without a second thought.
Luckily, Lan Baobao still had some self-restraint.
"Steak? You made this? When did you make it?" Seeing two identical plates of steak on the dining table, Lan Baobao couldn't help but swallow her saliva but managed to keep her composure.
"Yeah, I made it while you were sleeping. Do you like it?" Mu Jiangfeng looked at the extinguished candle in his hand and nodded helplessly.
Great! Things weren't beyond saving yet! As long as Lan Baobao was interested in the steak, Mu Jiangfeng still had a chance to execute today's plan!
"Did you really make this? Can we eat it?" Lan Baobao continued to gaze dreamily at the plate in front of her and asked.
"Of course you can eat it! I made it for you to eat; how could I not let you?"
Mu Jiangfeng continued to nod helplessly and said, "Actually, I wanted to give you a surprise. I planned a romantic citrus-themed evening and prepared a candlelight dinner. I thought since I hadn't come to see you in a while, I should make it up to you. But... it seems like it didn't quite work out. It’s my first time doing this, and it’s not very successful!"
Lan Baobao was taken aback for a moment, staring blankly at Mu Jiangfeng.
Suddenly, she realized!
In Mu Jiangfeng's hand was a long white candle, intricately carved with some subtle designs, and it emitted a faint scent of roses. Upon closer inspection, the candle was not pure white but had a hint of soft rose pink. It must be an aromatic candle!
Ah, he wanted to create a romantic atmosphere?
In an instant, Lan Baobao felt her face flush with embarrassment!
She thought this guy had been busy with something lately; little did she know he had put so much thought into this. She felt she had been too much of a downer.
But… why did Mu Jiangfeng want to create a romantic atmosphere? Was it because he was too bored lately? That didn’t seem right! Mu Jiangfeng had so many things to do; how could he possibly be bored?
Could it be that he noticed she had been feeling dull living in this place and wanted to surprise her?
Ah, it must be that! It seemed like she understood, but at that moment, her heart felt even more guilty!
