I really don't understand what Mu Jiangfeng is thinking.
"Mu Jiangfeng, what are you doing? Why are only the two of us left? Where is Yun Ni?"
"Isn't it good that it's just the two of us? Tonight, it's just you and me. Come on, let's eat first!"
Mu Jiangfeng, rarely a gentleman, thoughtfully pulled out her chair.
Lan Baobao looked at the chair, then at Mu Jiangfeng's handsome, sunny face filled with anticipation.
This man's gentle and sunny demeanor really made it hard to understand why he would do something so despicable and shameless.
Lan Baobao glanced at the steak on the table, slowly walked over, and reluctantly sat down. Only after she sat down did Mu Jiangfeng smile and return to his own seat.
As soon as Mu Jiangfeng sat down, he raised his glass of red wine and softly said, "This is a 1986 vintage. I know you don't really like drinking, but given the atmosphere tonight, I think we should enjoy it with a little wine. What do you think, baby?"
"Uh-huh."
If we're going to drink, let's just get on with it. All this unnecessary chatter is really annoying!
Lan Baobao expressionlessly picked up the wine glass filled with red wine from the table.
To her, a ten-dollar bottle of wine from the supermarket tastes the same as a bottle that costs thousands or even tens of thousands from a winery.
She couldn't appreciate the richness; as long as it wasn't bitter or astringent and had a bit of sweetness, that was enough. Ideally, it should taste like a drink—sweet and sour would be best.
The wine Mu Jiangfeng prepared still had some bitterness inherent to it.
After taking a sip, Lan Baobao frowned.
There is a feeling of nausea.
In the end, she was still forced to suppress it.
Mu Jiangfeng couldn't help but laugh at her awkward expression while drinking.
He gently said, "This is a medium-rare steak. I removed the bloodied parts that you don't like. The meat is juicy and tender, specially cooked to medium-rare for you, and topped with your favorite black pepper sauce and a bit of special chili sauce. Baby, give it a try and see if it's good."
Lan Baobao looked at the plate of meat in front of her and twitched her eyebrows twice.
Normally, she really enjoyed eating meat. She had always been someone who couldn't live without it.
However, today, looking at this whole plate of meat, she felt a wave of disgust.
Lan Baobao had already eaten quite a bit earlier in the evening, but seeing Mu Jiangfeng's anticipation, she had no choice but to compromise and slowly took a bite.
As soon as she took her first bite, Mu Jiangfeng smiled.
No matter whether Lan Baobao wanted to eat or not, Mu Jiangfeng found her eating appearance very cute.
"Is it good?" Mu Jiangfeng asked gently.
Is it good…
Lan Baobao really didn't know how to answer that question.
To her, steak was just a piece of meat; the only difference was whether it was tender or tough, and the sauce was acceptable.
"Is this meat considered good?"
Lan Baobao thought carefully for a moment. Regardless of whether the meat was good or not, it seemed like it should be very good.
"Yeah, not bad, very good," he replied calmly, with a hint of indifference.
Mu Jiangfeng automatically ignored her dismissive attitude and smiled, saying, "I knew you would like it. This meat is high-quality Matsusaka Beef. I know you like big pieces of meat, so I bought this for you.
Although I didn't cook it myself this time, it's made by a top chef. I think you should be satisfied."
"Thanks."
Satisfied my foot! Don't you know that just smelling the meat makes me want to throw up? And bringing over such a big piece of meat is really troublesome.
"Baby, being able to eat with you makes everything taste better. I feel so happy."
Lan Baobao could only chuckle awkwardly.
She couldn't respond to Mu Jiangfeng in a cheerful way; aside from the awkward laughter, she didn't know how else to react.
In the candlelight, although Lan Baobao was wearing a loose pink loungewear that was quite unflattering and somewhat bulky, with no makeup on her face and her hair casually tied up in a bun, she presented an image of a relaxed housewife that completely clashed with the elegant atmosphere of the candlelit dinner. However, the candlelight illuminated her face, making her features appear more defined and bright, yet also deep and enchanting.
Mu Jiangfeng gazed at her face as if he were entranced.
His eyes became dreamy, and he seemed to exude male hormones.
"Baby, I have almost everything ready on my side. It won't be long before we can leave this place together and start our life abroad."
"So soon?" Lan Baobao did not expect Mu Jiangfeng to act so quickly.
She wasn't even prepared yet, and he was already close to being ready to go abroad.
"What? Are you unhappy?" Mu Jiangfeng asked, raising his voice when he saw her unpleasant expression.
Hearing this, Lan Baobao immediately shook her head, not wanting to raise any suspicion in him.
"I just thought of Ye Ziru. When will you let Ye Ziru go?"
"When the time comes, I will naturally release Ye Ziru. However, before that, you need to agree to my request."
After saying this, Mu Jiangfeng stood up and slowly walked in front of Lan Baobao while holding the flowers from the table. In the dim candlelight, Mu Jiangfeng knelt down; it was the second time he had done so, but he firmly believed that this time Lan Baobao would yield for the sake of Ye Ziru's safety.
Mu Jiangfeng would be satisfied with love obtained through such coercion.
Lan Baobao truly could not understand how far he intended to deceive himself to feel content.
Suddenly, in that moment, Lan Baobao felt that Mu Jiangfeng was both a despicable and disgusting person and a very pitiful man.
"Baby, I want to ask you to marry me, and then we can leave this place together and start anew. How about that?"
Lan Baobao's eyes flickered. In the past, she could never marry Mu Jiangfeng; now, with her deep hatred for him, it was even more impossible.
In an instant, the scene of Mu Jiangfeng proposing to her flashed before her eyes, and the unbearable memories replayed in her mind like a film.
Can I really marry this person? No, she already had a definite answer in her heart. She wasn't staying to marry Mu Jiangfeng; she was waiting for an opportunity to escape.
She only wanted to take advantage of Mu Jiangfeng's feelings for her and had no intention of marrying him at all.
Lan Baobao could never marry Mu Jiangfeng, not even if she died.
"Mu Jiangfeng, I want to go to the bathroom." With that, Lan Baobao stood up.
Mu Jiangfeng did not stop her. Seeing that Lan Baobao had not accepted his proposal, he already had an idea in his heart.
Unexpectedly, now Ye Ziru was in his hands, and she was still rejecting him, unwilling to agree to marry him.
It seemed he had misjudged; Ye Zixun held a status in her heart that surpassed everything, even more important than her daughter Ye Ziru. How ridiculous!
In the next moment, he put down the flowers and ring in his hand. A few seconds later, he had a bag containing white powder sealed tightly.
This was the drug he had prepared before coming here. He really didn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary. If Lan Baobao had agreed to his request earlier, this situation wouldn't have occurred.
Unfortunately, in Lan Baobao's heart, there was only Ye Zixun. She didn't even care about her own daughter. He couldn't be blamed for being heartless, could he?
Meanwhile, at home, Gu Feng had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom when his phone placed in the bedroom suddenly rang.
He put on his bathrobe before picking up the phone. "Hello!"
"Master Gu, it's me."
"What do you want at this hour?"
On the other end of the phone, the person heard Master Gu's question and quickly replied, "Master Gu, we have found the whereabouts of Lan Baobao."
"What happened? Where is she?" Gu Feng's expression immediately darkened. After searching for so many days without a trace, how could they suddenly find the baby's location?
Amidst Gu Feng's doubts, there was also a sense of wild joy in his heart.
"Where exactly is the baby now?"
"Master Gu, the person we sent to inquire just reported back to me. A few days ago, Lan Baobao was hospitalized due to a high fever. She just stabilized and left the hospital."
"Was she taken away by someone? Who took her?"
"Mu Jiangfeng."
Mu Jiangfeng?
Gu Feng suddenly realized why he hadn't thought of Mu Jiangfeng. With such a close relationship with the baby, only Mu Jiangfeng would take her in.
But...
Gu Feng vaguely felt that this matter was not that simple.
"Do you know where Mu Jiangfeng took Lan Baobao?"
"We have already found out. Mu Jiangfeng took her to a villa on the outskirts. Master Gu, do you need us to go there immediately?"
"We can't rule out that there might be trouble there. Gather a few capable brothers and come with me."
"Okay."
It seemed that he was at Mu Jiangfeng's villa. He thought again about how the villa was located in the suburbs... It would take at least twenty minutes to get there.
Should he tell Ye Zixun?
Forget it, this guy only cares about the company, not about Lan Baobao's well-being.
He couldn't worry about that much. He quickly took off his bathrobe, changed into appropriate clothes, and hurried out of the house.
At the villa, Lan Baobao stayed in the bathroom for a while, thinking things over before finally coming out. Maybe putting on the ring was the best way to escape. Once she wore the ring, Mu Jiangfeng might let his guard down and remove those bodyguards. If the bodyguards were gone, then she would have a chance to escape.
Lan Baobao felt anxious.
Wearing that ring would mean declaring that she belonged to Mu Jiangfeng.
Oh, you have to forgive me for lying; I had no other choice!
After making up her mind, Lan Baobao finally stepped out of the bathroom.
"Mu Jiangfeng."
Lan Baobao returned to the dining room and saw Mu Jiangfeng sitting in his seat waiting for her. The steak on the table had already gone cold, and the lights were fully on.
