My Third Gentleman - Chapter 42
Chapter 42: Love Is Around The Corner (IV)
In high spirits, Su Ran then wheeled Wushuang into Film and Television City.
This proposal was way too absurd. “What a terrible friend you are. What if the third man happens to be the old janitor?”
Su Ran laughed heartily. “Old men usually are married, but if he’s not, then you have terrible luck. Let’s go!”
Wushuang shook her head. She knew that Su Ran was just joking around to make her happy. It was not as though they were buying produce at the farmers’ market; she was not that rash.
Film and Television City’s final stages of construction were due to be completed within these two days. What was left were mainly the main building’s decorations and its final capping work. There were not many people around.
Su Ran was bored out of her mind at the hospital. After she saw Wushuang working on wrapping up Film and Television City’s project, she begged to come. Wushuang only hurt her foot, and she wanted to visit the site too. Since someone was willing to accompany her, they hit it off and thus made their way here.
“Shuangshuang, it seems like luck isn’t on your side. One guy ahead is a man painting the walls, the other is a delivery man. Haha! The third person may very well be the janitor.”
Wushuang shook her head again. Best leave Su Ran be since she seemed to have so much fun.
As they approached a corner, Su Ran chirped, “Your love is around the corner, Shuangshuang. Here we go—”
A thud cut Su Ran off right after she finished. They actually collided with someone.
“Are you blind? Watch where you’re going,” Su Ran crass character blurted out indiscriminately.
In Wushuang’s line of sight was just a neatly pressed pair of dress pants paired with a highly polished pair of leather boots. “I’m sorry,” she quickly apologized, “we didn’t mean to.”
Wushuang raised her head and her eyes met with those of the person they collided with. She was suddenly petrified. It was him again!
This was the fourth time within a day and a half. What the hell was going on?
Su Ran finally got a good look at the man. “Hey, this one’s quite good-looking. Shuangshuang, this is the one.”
“Ranran, stop this nonsense!” Upon hearing Ranran’s words, Wushuang’s originally fair face turned a shade of red. She quickly stopped her friend before she spewed more nonsense.
“What a coincidence, Miss Jing. We meet again,” Qidong replied quickly. He and the young master only returned to the country three days ago and had already bumped into her on multiple occasions within the past two days. If it was someone like Li Lisha, he would have suspected that she was deliberately stalking them.
“Yes. I didn’t have the chance to thank you properly last night.”
Mu Jinchen’s gaze stopped momentarily on her ankle. His brows furrowed as he spoke, “Shouldn’t you be resting in the hospital?”
From where Wushuang sat, Mu Jinchen’s facial features were more three-dimensional. The light was much better during the daytime, and even his long eyelashes were visible. Although this man possessed a strong aura, it did not seem that nerve-racking after she had met him a few times.
Wushuang smiled and directed her gaze straight at his deep, dark eyes. “Thank you for your concern, Chairman Mu. I feel much better now. It was quite boring at the hospital, so I have a friend accompany me to check on the completion of the project. I was partially responsible for the project.”
Wushuang had read the email announcement from the office. She knew that he assumed leadership of Chenyu today and was her big boss. It truly was a small world.
Mu Jinchen did not need to enquire how she knew of his identity, that much was obvious. “Since we have the same objectives, let’s walk together.”
