Chapter 52

A her like that wouldn't deserve to be her parents' daughter, wouldn't deserve to be Ren Lingyu's friend, wouldn't deserve—to be called He Lele.

☆, Chapter 55: Nowhere to Look

Once Ruan Lin and Qin Zhixiu left, the apartment suddenly became empty and quiet again. Ji Jie didn't follow them to the set, leaving early and returning late, and He Lele didn't pay much attention to it.

After lying in bed for a few days, Mu Wei finally couldn't sit still, but the August weather was too poisonous, and with his casts and bandages, it really wasn't suitable for him to be out in the open. He Lele had no choice but to push him to the balcony to get some sun and get rid of the mold, lest he really be pickled into a mummy.

Under the intense light, even the magazine became blinding. Casually tossing the magazine aside, Mu Wei looked at He Lele standing beside him.

"Do you need anything?"

He had never liked chatting with women. Although he was very good at chatting with women when he was "in love," chatting with women was actually an extremely boring thing at any time. However…… he seemed to be even more "extremely" bored now, and this He Lele was also different from the types of women he had played with before.

"Which university did you graduate from?" What kind of university produced graduates who came out to do this kind of work?

"……Can I not say? I know I've brought shame to my alma mater."

Seeing her somewhat lonely, self-deprecating expression, the mockery that had been on the tip of his tongue suddenly vanished into thin air. For a moment, he even forgot what he had originally intended to say.

"What about you, Mr. Mu? Ah! Sorry, I shouldn't have asked, I'm sorry." Actually, she didn't want to pry into anything; she was just politely asking back.

"History," Mu Wei replied.

He Lele smiled slightly. "Then you must love photography very much. Is seeing the world through a lens different from what the human eye sees?" she asked with interest.

"……You'll know once you try."

Mu Wei had He Lele take a DSLR camera out of his treasure room. For the whole morning, Mu Wei taught He Lele like a patient but strict teacher. He Lele also learned very seriously, taking notes from time to time and asking questions, trying hard to digest the insights of this top photographer, which seemed simple but were actually full of wisdom and talent, until—her phone rang.

"Da da da da! Guess what day it is tomorrow!" Ren Lingyu's cheerful voice entered He Lele's ears, and her mood became very pleasant along with it.

"Tomorrow? August 10th? It doesn't seem like anything special…… Is it the day of your first date with Lawyer Li?" He Lele teased with a smile.

The sunlight shone on her gentle, fresh smile, sparkling with fine light. A breeze blew by, and a strand of fine, soft long hair flew along her cheek, gently fluttering in the air. She raised her slender, moist fingers to tuck the hair behind her ear. As her fingers fell, they slid along her long neck, brushed past her full chest, and landed on the notebook on her lap.

Mu Wei had never noticed a woman as plain as her, who couldn't find a single eye-catching point on her whole body…… but why was every part of her so beautiful and just right?

Beautiful! He actually used the word "beautiful" to describe this woman! It was truly interesting. After he let her deeply understand the consequences of angering him, maybe he could find time to taste her flavor again!

This woman probably thought he had let her go, which was why she dared to push him aside time and time again, letting other men fuck her until she was full of lewd charm, and finally pretending to be a saint in front of him with the scent of different men's perfume!

"Haha! I thought you were having a romantic encounter! So it's just your first paycheck! Why, are you going to treat me to a meal?" He Lele looked at Mu Wei. "Lingyu…… I can only temporarily put this meal on hold. I really can't get away from the apartment side for now."

"……I miss you too." He Lele pinched her nose. Why had she been getting teary-eyed so easily lately? Pulling the corners of her mouth, He Lele continued, "I'm really fine, and I really can't get away."

After hanging up the phone, He Lele felt a little uncomfortable. She really…… wanted to see Lingyu. Not to complain, not to vent, just to see her, to hug her, just one hug would be enough.

"A good friend?" Mu Wei suddenly asked.

He Lele nodded.

"You don't seem to have taken a day off since you entered the apartment? So you haven't seen your friend for a long time?"

She nodded again. "I'll go make lunch."

"I can't do without you here, but if your friend doesn't mind, you can invite your friend to come to the apartment to play for a day."

What? "Can, can I? But, isn't the apartment strictly confidential to the outside world?" Except for Muse executives and the people around them, even others didn't know that the five of them were in one apartment.

"If it's tomorrow, the others aren't here anyway, so I don't care. Besides, I'm bored, and having another beauty to chat with me isn't bad."

Although Mu Wei said it very easily, He Lele's heart was still full of doubts.

"Really, can I?"

Mu Wei shrugged, picked up the magazine to read, and stopped responding.

☆, Chapter 56: Delivered to the Door

"Holy crap! Lele…… you don't have to clean this huge house all by yourself, do you! No wonder you can't get away for a day!" As soon as Ren Lingyu entered the door, she started to feel indignant for He Lele. Her crescent-like beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her round, charming eyes carried obvious annoyance.

"No, the cleaning and tidying of the apartment are mainly done by the service company. I'm mainly responsible for the daily life of the owners. You sit for a while, I'll go upstairs, and I'll come down to make you something delicious in a while."

"Mm! Okay!"

Sixth floor.

"Why? Aren't you going to introduce your friend to me?" Mu Wei flipped through the magazine, his bright black eyes glancing sideways at He Lele.

He Lele placed the tea on the nightstand, bowed slightly toward Mu Wei, and handed it to Mu Wei on the bed. "Thank you, Mr. Mu, for allowing me to bring a friend to the apartment. She will leave after lunch, and I won't disturb Mr. Mu anymore."

"……Is your friend not presentable, or do you think I'm not presentable to your friend?"

He Lele's eyes turned cold, and the cold light shot out like a physical cold arrow. Seeing this, Mu Wei couldn't help but be stunned—it was the first time he had seen her so direct and cold attitude.

"Heh…… it seems you care a lot about your friend." ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
