Looking in the direction where Lan Baobao had left, Mu Jiao'er’s smile became increasingly evident, ultimately blooming like a brilliant flower.
In a corner of a 24-hour convenience store, someone was talking to themselves.
“Lan Baobao, I really don’t know whether to describe you as simple-minded or to call you an idiot!”
Mu Jiao'er finally revealed a dazzling smile, took a pack of cigarettes from the shelf, and casually tossed a hundred-dollar bill, leaving the convenience store with an air of extravagance.
Mu Jiao'er’s figure seemed effortlessly graceful and charming at all times. Everyone's gaze was fixed on her, as if they had encountered a goddess.
Men envied her, while women were jealous.
In stark contrast, Lan Baobao, who hurriedly left, appeared much more flustered. Clutching her private belongings, she still hadn’t recovered from the shock of meeting Mu Jiao'er and seemed completely distracted.
She rushed back to her apartment, panting heavily.
It was evident that she was someone who lacked exercise; now, after such intense activity, she nearly collapsed in the elevator.
It seemed that Mu Jiangfeng's words were indeed correct—there really is a saying about enemies crossing paths. Lan Baobao began to regret not listening to Mu Jiangfeng; she would have preferred sitting on the toilet for an entire afternoon rather than going through this ordeal.
The fright she experienced today was overwhelming; Lan Baobao felt slightly dizzy from the shock.
However, what she didn’t anticipate was that an even greater shock awaited her!
After exiting the elevator, Lan Baobao was still lost in thought about what had just happened and didn’t notice that the door to her apartment was already open when she returned.
Habitually, she pushed the door open and walked in. Since her mind was elsewhere and given that Lan Baobao was naturally carefree, she didn’t think anything was amiss until she saw Mu Jiangfeng sitting on the sofa with a serious expression, looking like a zombie.
“Ah?! Mu Jiangfeng, when did you get here? You scared me! Why didn’t you say anything?” After being startled twice in one morning, Lan Baobao truly felt unfortunate. Yet, she completely overlooked Mu Jiangfeng’s pale complexion and forgot about the warning not to go out.
When she left earlier, she had clearly remembered these things. But after being startled by Mu Jiao'er, it felt as if her mind had gone blank and some thoughts had automatically filtered out.
“I wanted to contact you! But you didn’t even bring your phone! Where have you been?” Mu Jiangfeng suddenly stood up from the sofa and stormed over to Lan Baobao with an intense expression.
He repeatedly urged and reminded her, but Lan Baobao still went out of the room.
Today, Mu Jiangfeng had some matters to attend to, so he arrived later than usual. Normally, he would visit Lan Baobao's apartment around noon. However, today was an exception. It wasn't until after two o'clock that he finally had the time, and it was almost three by the time he got there.
He had originally bought her favorite things and even a game console, hoping to cheer Lan Baobao up. He was eager to see her expression when she received his gifts.
However, when Mu Jiangfeng reached the apartment door and saw it locked, his heart sank. An uneasy feeling began to stir within him, causing his hands to tremble.
With a sense of doubt, Mu Jiangfeng knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time. He thought that Lan Baobao might be taking a shower or perhaps she was sleeping due to her recent drowsiness and didn't hear him knocking.
It’s known that when Lan Baobao sleeps, she is deeply asleep and nothing can wake her up except for Brother Mu's efforts.
After searching around the apartment and finding no sign of Lan Baobao, his initial unease gradually morphed into a sense of despair. It felt as if he had lost sunlight or air, becoming blindly anxious. The first image that flashed in Mu Jiangfeng's mind was: Lan Baobao had secretly left...
Would she not come back?
Mu Jiangfeng's mind felt empty.
Thinking about how Lan Baobao left without him, without her phone, without clothes—she took nothing with her and didn’t even say goodbye—left him feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.
His mind also recalled Ye Zixun's face.
He couldn’t help but feel that he and Ye Zixun were both equally disappointing.
So when he was sitting on the sofa and heard the apartment door open, it felt like an electric shock coursed through him; all his nerves became excited. But upon seeing Lan Baobao standing right in front of him, that excitement slowly turned into anger.
This was the first time Mu Jiangfeng spoke to Lan Baobao with such a tone full of reproach. His serious expression startled her as if she were a criminal caught in the act.
She was scared! Truly scared!
Mu Jiangfeng's gaze was terrifying, exuding an intimidating aura that seemed capable of destroying the entire apartment.
Lan Baobao suddenly realized that she had sneaked out and was caught red-handed by Mu Jiangfeng. She quickly forced a smile and said, "Oh, you’re here! What a coincidence! I wasn’t out having fun; I had no choice but to go out to buy something."
Lan Baobao felt guilty thinking about it. Clearly, she was an adult with the freedom to act, yet she had to be restricted by others in everything she did. Even buying a pack of Sanitary Napkins turned into such a hassle; she must have committed some sin in her past life.
"What did you buy?" Mu Jiangfeng still looked serious.
At first, Lan Baobao thought it was nothing, but under Mu Jiangfeng's deliberate questioning, she felt embarrassed. After all, they were not that close yet. She thought that if she took out a pack of Sanitary Napkins in front of him, it would definitely lead to an awkward situation for both of them. So, she instinctively hid her hands behind her back, not wanting to reveal them.
"Nothing, nothing! Just some daily necessities, very simple and common items that you probably wouldn’t be interested in," Lan Baobao mumbled nervously.
Ah, if only Mu Jiangfeng would stop probing and let this go, she would definitely offer incense in gratitude!
Lan Baobao silently prayed, but the divine beings were too busy to hear her pleas.
In less than a second, her prayer was ruthlessly shattered.
"Daily necessities?" Mu Jiangfeng clearly wasn’t satisfied with that answer. There were no such items in this apartment; going out to buy something at this moment was obviously just an excuse from Lan Baobao.
To brush herself off, she had even learned to lie!
Mu Jiangfeng frowned even deeper and said, "What daily necessities? Show me! If you can’t produce them, it means you’re lying! I’ve already bought everything you need for daily use; what else do you need to go out for? Besides, even if you needed something, you could just call me. Why did you have to go out yourself?"
His attitude made it seem like Lan Baobao was the one lying. The discomfort in her heart was unbearable...
The more Lan Baobao refused to comply, the more suspicious Mu Jiangfeng became. He started to show an unyielding demeanor and extended his hands toward her chest area, saying, "Take it out; let me see."
Seeing that Mu Jiangfeng was relentless in his questioning made Lan Baobao feel an overwhelming urge to smash the item in her hand against his head. Then she added defiantly, "You were so domineering just now; did you buy everything? Haven't you ever had a girlfriend? Don’t you know how a woman’s body works? Don’t you know that women have their monthly cycles? There are no Sanitary Napkins in the room; is it wrong for me to go out and buy my own? Do I really need to report this kind of thing to you?!"
When Mu Jiangfeng saw what Lan Baobao had slapped into his hands, he knew he would regret it at that moment. A vague advertisement slogan flashed before his eyes; he seemed momentarily stunned, but his face involuntarily turned red.
Why do these three English letters feel so glaring?
Ah, I remember now. Occasionally, when watching television, advertisements for this brand pop up, and they seem to be quite well-made.
However, now, no matter how good the advertisement is, it cannot save his awkward expression.
Mu Jiangfeng is considered a big business owner, and his family is powerful and influential.
He actually finds himself in such an embarrassing situation with a woman—Sanitary Napkin? It turns out this item also falls under the category of daily necessities!
He couldn't help but silently vow that he would never argue with Lan Baobao again. This time it was about Sanitary Napkin; next time, there might be something even more mortifying!
Mu Jiangfeng felt utterly defeated.
The room fell silent for a moment. Seeing Mu Jiangfeng's silly and dazed expression, Lan Baobao still held back her dissatisfaction. After all, it was her fault for sneaking out without keeping her promise.
Sigh, lately it feels like everything she does is wrong!
Lan Baobao felt a bit annoyed but only replied perfunctorily, "I just went down to buy a pack of Sanitary Napkin to deal with things temporarily. It's right across the commercial street; it's not far at all. Plus, I disguised myself, and I came back safely without being caught by Ye Zixun!"
"Uh... yes..." Mu Jiangfeng awkwardly returned the item in his hand to Lan Baobao, lowering his head as he slowly said, "This... this matter was my oversight. I didn't consider this point and caused you so much inconvenience. I'm sorry. But you should have told me; I could have brought it to you. You ran around without your phone, and I called so many times without anyone answering. I was really worried about you!"
