132 Warm Ginger Tea

As she was picking up a few valuable things in her car, Mu Zhen Yu made a call to his assistant. In just a few minutes, a black Cayenne parked at the side road, and Mu Zhen Yu’s assistant alighted.

“President Mu,” the assistant greeted before tuning to Zhang Li Xue with a nod.

“Li Xue, this is my assistant, Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao, this is my friend. Miss Zhang.”

Zhang Li Xue turned to look at the young assistant and nodded. “Hello.”

The assistant gave Zhang Li Xue a quick look over before he greeted her.

Mu Zhen Yu turned to his assistant and gave him a few instructions. Then, holding the black umbrella in his hand, Mu Zhen Yu walked Zhang Li Xue to his Cayenne. He let her sit on the passenger’s side and placed her belongings at the back before sliding into the driver’s seat. Then, he took the box of tissue and handed it over to Zhang Li Xue. “Here. Wipe yourself first. Don’t get cold.”

“Thank you.” Zhang Li Xue pulled a few tissue papers and started to wipe the droplets of water on her body. “Fortunately, you were around,” Zhang Li Xue flashed a smile at him. “Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what I should do.”

Mu Zhen Yu chuckled. He turned up the temperature before looking at the girl again. “Heading home?”

“Uh-huh.” Zhang Li Xue smiled.

.....

He turned the car and finally entered the main road. Mu Zhen Yu had visited Zhang’s residence many times ever since he was in kindergarten. He could drive over to the residence even without Zhang Li Xue’s direction.

“Where were you from?” Mu Zhen Yu glanced at the girl beside him.

“I had a basketball practice with a few friends.”

“You still like to play basketball very much.” His lips stretched into a smile.

Mu Zhen Yu remembered that Zhang Li Xue had started playing basketball at an early age. In the past, he had thought that perhaps, the little girl would lose her interest in the sport. But it seemed that he was wrong.

Zhang Li Xue laughed. “Mmm... She opened her mouth, wanting to tell Mu Zhen Yu about Bai Qi.

In her memory, Mu Zhen Yu and Bai Qi were the same age and they were classmates. If she mentioned Bai Qi, perhaps, Mu Zhen Yu would remember him as well.

However, when Zhang Li Xue recalled Bai Qi’s family situation, she decided not to say a word.

Bai Qi seemed as if he had low self-confidence after what had happened to his family.

Last time, Bai Qi wasn’t even willing to tell her what happened.

If Fang Su Jin did not recognize him and pointed out that he was the boy who often accompanied her to play basketball in her childhood, perhaps, she would never know.

Bai Qi would probably be upset if she tell another person about what happened to his family. He would want to protect his dignity.

Her lips turned into a weak smile.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Li Xue thought that it would be better not to mention Bai Qi to Mu Zhen Yu.

“How is the preparation for your company’s opening? Is everything going well?” Zhang Li Xue asked, wanting to change the topic of their conversation.

“It’s not bad. At least, the business can begin just as what we have planned,” Mu Zhen Yu said. He glanced at the girl again and spoke, “Li Xue, you will come over to the opening ceremony next week, right?”

“Of course. I already put the event on the calendar. Brother Zhen Yu, I will definitely come to the opening ceremony.”

The two of them continued to talk about Mu Zhen Yu’s company.

It was the company that he had worked so hard to build with his friends. He did not use his family’s connection. Instead, worked hard to establish the company from scratch. Mu Zhen Yu was proud of it and could talk about it for a long time.

Just as they reached an intersection, Mu Zhen Yu made a turn before he pulled over his vehicle into a parking spot. He turned to Zhang Li Xue and smiled. “Wait here for a while. I need to get something. I’ll come back soon.”

“Oh.” Zhang Li Xue watched as the man alighted from the vehicle. He grabbed his umbrella and walked to the shop lot.

Thinking that Mu Zhen Yu still have some matters he has to handle, Zhang Li Xue started to play with her phone to kill some time.

Mu Zhen Yu returned less than five minutes later. He slid into the driver’s seat and handed the girl a cup of drink. “Here. This is for you. It’s better to drink some warm ginger tea. Otherwise, you’ll get a cold.”

Zhang Li Xue stared at the cup with a dazed look on her face. She took the cup and wrapped her hand around it. Thinking that he had stopped at the side road just to buy her some ginger tea made her heart feel warmer.

“Brother Zhen Yu, thank you.”

“Just drink it slowly.”

Zhang Li Xue nodded. She took a sip from the drink and lowered her head. She did not dare to look up and meet his gaze again.

The warmth from the ginger tea spread through her body. Her cheek felt hot and her heart was beating fast. Mu Zhen Yu was always like this. He would always looked over her ever since they were kids. She realized that this might be the reason why she had fallen for him in the past.

Soon, the Cayenne pulled over in front of the house. Zhang Li Xue alighted before turning to Mu Zhen Yu again.

“Alright. Li Xue, you don’t have to thank me again,” Mu Zhen Yu spoke before the girl could utter another thankful word. “You don’t have to be very polite with me.” Mu Zhen Yu smiled. “Aren’t we friends?”

Zhang Li Xue had just opened her mouth when she heard Mu Zhen Yu’s words. Her movements halted before she let out a laugh. “Alright.” She realized that she has been thanking Mu Zhen Yu a lot. “Then, I’ll see you again next week.”
