"I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were lighting the scented candle. I thought..."
Lan Baobao awkwardly stepped in front of Mu Jiangfeng and quickly snatched the candle from his hand, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. The candle went out, but it can be lit again. I'll light it for you right now!"
Before Mu Jiangfeng could react, Lan Baobao was already searching frantically for a lighter like a headless chicken.
A person can show infinite potential when it comes to food. In just half a minute, the entire living room had been turned upside down by Lan Baobao. After searching in vain, she had no choice but to approach Mu Jiangfeng again, extending her hand and saying, "Um... I can't find my lighter. Can I borrow yours?"
Mu Jiangfeng found it both amusing and exasperating; every moment spent with Lan Baobao was filled with surprises—or perhaps shocks!
Everything seemed to come unexpectedly. No matter how meticulous the plans were, they all turned into a mess when faced with Lan Baobao. It was better not to plan at all and let things unfold naturally.
"Let me do it. I'm afraid you might get burned. I'll take care of it!"
Mu Jiangfeng, who usually didn't smoke, had specifically bought a lighter for today. He lit the remaining candles and gradually dimmed the lights in the room a little.
At this point, a romantic atmosphere finally emerged, completely different from the haunted house feeling earlier.
When dressed up, Lan Baobao was undeniably charming!
"Alright, now we can eat!"
Mu Jiangfeng wanted to guide Lan Baobao back to her seat like a waiter leading guests to their tables in a Western restaurant.
However, before he could say anything, Lan Baobao had already happily slipped on her slippers and made her way to her seat, her face showing an eager expression.
Mu Jiangfeng's face instantly displayed two black lines; this girl was clearly here just for the food! No matter how romantic the setting was, under Lan Baobao's influence, it felt utterly unromantic!
"Baby, wait a moment!" However, in order to ensure that things went smoothly, Mu Jiangfeng stopped her and took out a large red gift box from the sofa in the living room. "Change into this outfit first."
Lan Baobao took it and stared blankly at the gift box in her hands. It was just a dinner; when did it become necessary to make such a big deal out of it?
Eating at home didn't require such formality, did it?
Lan Baobao blinked her innocent eyes and slowly opened the gift box, revealing a stunning beige gown.
Forgive women for having no resistance to beautiful clothes. Before Mu Jiangfeng could say anything, Lan Baobao eagerly pulled out the dress and excitedly began to model it on herself.
All her previous complaints were thrown to the back of her mind.
The beige gown, paired with a golden decorative belt, accentuated her figure and temperament beautifully. Just trying it on made Lan Baobao's entire aura become extraordinary.
"Is it pretty? Is it pretty? Look at me!" Lan Baobao twirled around excitedly while shamelessly asking.
"You look good in anything. Hurry up and show me!"
It truly was beautiful! The color of the dress against her skin was already stunning!
Mu Jiangfeng couldn't help but feel his heart race. He liked Lan Baobao's earnest and unpretentious demeanor. Although she sometimes seemed silly, there was always a mysterious charm about her that constantly drew his attention.
Usually, Lan Baobao didn't put much effort into her appearance, but once she dressed up, she shone like a brilliant pearl that could capture everyone's gaze.
Although he felt that it was unnecessary to make such a fuss over just dinner, after Mu Jiangfeng pushed her into the bathroom, she unceremoniously changed into the dress. After being cooped up in that small space for so long, wearing loose-fitting clothes or nothing at all when Mu Jiangfeng wasn't around had become the norm for her.
Barefoot, she swayed back and forth in the room.
Lan Baobao hadn't seen such a beautiful dress in a long time; her eyes sparkled as if she had discovered a new world!
The more beautiful something is, sometimes, the harder it is to wear, and the same can be said for this dress.
Lan Baobao struggled alone, putting in a tremendous effort to finally get the dress on.
Fortunately, the dress chosen by Mu Jiangfeng, while having a slight slit at the bottom, was not of the deep V style at the top, so Lan Baobao didn't need to change her underwear.
After adjusting everything in the bathroom, Lan Baobao looked at herself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
"Indeed, one must dress beautifully to look like a person!"
She smiled slightly and stepped out of the bathroom, twirling in front of Mu Qingcheng.
With a playful smile, she asked, "Do I look good?"
As soon as she appeared, the romantic living room was once again enveloped in a faint darkness, with only the bright candles on the dining table serving as the sole source of light, flickering playfully and adorably.
Lan Baobao was momentarily taken aback by the sudden darkness and widened her eyes to see; fortunately, the flickering candlelight felt warm and inviting.
She squinted slightly, and an interesting sense of allure seemed to flow out.
“Lan Baobao!” Suddenly, a gentle voice appeared in her ear. Following that, Mu Jiangfeng gradually emerged from the darkness, accompanied by a sweet and subtle floral fragrance that filled Lan Baobao's field of vision.
This large bouquet of roses and lilies must weigh around ten pounds, Lan Baobao thought to herself...
Actually, it was just a method to calm herself down. Everything came too suddenly, from the steak candlelight dinner to the evening gown and now to the roses and lilies. All of this was beyond Lan Baobao's expectations, so she couldn't settle her emotions and didn't know what her heart was thinking.
What is this supposed to be? A man giving flowers to a woman should make her very happy, right? But why does she only feel scared and not surprised at all?!
This should be a happy moment, shouldn't it? There is someone who carefully prepares dinner for you and buys you clothes and flowers. Isn't this the princess life that Lan Baobao once dreamed of?
“Baby, this is for you. I hope you like it!” Mu Jiangfeng smiled as he handed the flowers to Lan Baobao, speaking in a warm tone.
He hoped that Lan Baobao would be so moved by this surprise that she would burst into tears and rush over for a hug, taking the initiative to embrace him!
But... it seemed that reality was slightly different from what he had imagined!
“Mu Jiangfeng, why did you do this?” Lan Baobao took the flowers and almost lost her balance. The weight of the large bouquet was indeed considerable.
Shouldn't her response at this moment be “thank you” or “I really like it”? What does this “why” mean?!
Mu Jiangfeng started to feel uncertain about Lan Baobao's reaction but still calmly replied, “Flowers go with beautiful women; isn't that how it should be?”
Indeed, quite clever!
Although Lan Baobao usually reacted slowly and occasionally displayed an overwhelming sense of justice like a tough girl, she was still a woman. Hearing herself praised as a beauty made her a bit excited. So she took it as an apology from Mu Jiangfeng, who hadn't accompanied her for a long time, and gladly accepted it.
She wasn't very bright, didn't think too much, and certainly wouldn't let all the delicious food on the table get cold!
“Thank you for the flowers; they are beautiful, and I really like them. Can we eat now?” Lan Baobao set the flowers aside and redirected all her attention back to the dining table.
“Ah? Yes, yes, let's eat,” Mu Jiangfeng said helplessly.
He was still hoping for something, but a single sentence from Lan Baobao shattered all his fantasies and expectations.
Her power was indeed not to be underestimated!
Although it was just a steak, it had an infinite attraction for classmate Lan Baobao. Mu Jiangfeng gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Lan Baobao, allowing her to sit down before he slowly took a seat across from her. However, Lan Baobao was not someone who paid much attention to etiquette; when it was time to eat, she simply focused on enjoying her meal.
"Mm... this taste is really good," Lan Baobao said as she finally cut off a piece of steak and eagerly tossed it into her mouth.
"I learned from a French master and practiced for several years. It should be considered my specialty. If you think it tastes good, that’s the greatest encouragement and affirmation for me," Mu Jiangfeng said proudly, opening a nearby bottle of red wine and pouring half a glass for each of them in front of their goblets. He then raised his glass and gestured towards Lan Baobao.
Lan Baobao immediately understood and raised her glass, boldly saying to Mu Jiangfeng, "Cheers!"
The originally harmonious atmosphere was now slightly disrupted.
"I haven't been able to come see you these past few days because of work. I'm sorry," Mu Jiangfeng said as he drank half a glass of red wine to bolster his courage and apologized for not visiting her at the apartment.
"It's okay! You have a lot of work to do; you're not like me, someone with free time. The fact that you can come see me so often is already very good," Lan Baobao replied naturally, not one to hold grudges. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to live so freely after Ye Zixun hadn't visited her for so long. Moreover, she knew that Mu Jiangfeng and she were not that close yet.
