Mr. Mu appears aloof in public, but secretly proposes marriage and kisses.

Faced with the boy's advances, Su Muran immediately declined politely but distantly: "Thank you, but no need."

The boy persisted, continuing to pester her.

She sat down by herself, smiling, and said, "You don't need to rush to reject me. I know you have good grades and are different from the rest of us. But school is school, and society is society. Once you leave school, what good is being a top student? In the workplace, having someone to mentor and support you versus having no one to help you are two completely different situations."

"If you date me, I promise I'll have my cousin take care of you."

As they spoke, the boy reached out and tried to touch the back of Su Muran's hand.

Su Muran suddenly curled her fingers and pulled her hand back to avoid it.

The boy's face darkened, and he was about to reprimand Su Muran for being ungrateful.

The next second, his wrist was firmly gripped, and he turned pale with pain.

Immediately afterwards, a man's cold, stern voice came from above: "What are you, to actually want to date her?"

"It hurts so much, what the hell are you...?"

The boy grinned and raised his head to curse, but he stopped talking before he could finish.

Because he had already recognized Mu Tingshen.

He was at the bar that day too, and after going back home he had nightmares all night and stayed in the house for two days, too afraid to go out.

I finally mustered up the courage to go out for dinner today because I couldn't hold it in any longer, but I never expected to run into this scoundrel again.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll leave right now."

The boy quickly stood up, bowed, and kept apologizing to Mu Tingshen.

After Mu Tingshen released his wrist, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands with disgust.

The voice was cold as she asked him, "What's your cousin's name?"

The boy was almost in tears, stammering and afraid to tell the truth.

Mu Tingshen didn't want to waste time on him, so he just raised his chin to signal him to get lost. The boy practically tumbled and crawled out of the restaurant.

"It's been changed."

Looking at the chair the boy had been sitting in, Mu Tingshen frowned in disgust and asked the restaurant to replace it with a new one.

After sitting down, she looked at the relatively calm Su Muran and asked with a hint of barely perceptible resentment in her voice, "Do you often get hit on? If I hadn't come, what were you planning to do?"

Su Muran answered truthfully, "It's not often. Usually, I express my feelings more subtly. Direct confessions like this are rare. I've done it twice, and Xiaowei scolded me and drove me away both times."

Mu Tingshen had met Lin Xiaowei when he was living with her, but he only met her twice and didn't know that they had such a good relationship.

Otherwise, they would have found her through Lin Xiaowei long ago.

"You asked me out for more than just dinner, right? Just ask me whatever you want to know."

With a snap of his fingers, Mu Tingshen instructed the waiter to pour Su Muran a glass of warm water.

Su Muran held the warm water glass, her fingers slowly tightening.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she looked up and asked directly, "Three years ago, you weren't short of money at all, so why did you agree to a whirlwind marriage with me?"

Mu Tingshen looked at her tense little face and tapped his fingertips lightly on the table twice.

With a slow, deliberate smile, she countered, "Guess?"

"I can't guess."

Su Muran responded honestly.

Mu Tingshen sighed almost inaudibly. He thought she had really evolved into an evil lop-eared rabbit, but he didn't expect her to still be so innocent.

"I can tell you, but in exchange, you have to tell me the real reason you left in the first place."

"Never mind, I'm not particularly interested in knowing anyway."

Upon hearing his terms of exchange, Su Muran gripped the water glass even tighter, so nervously that she almost crushed it.

Mu Ting stared at her with a deep, dark expression, a kind of powerless anger in his eyes.

This was a completely unfamiliar emotion for him; after all, he was Mu Tingshen, a prodigy.

In this world, probably no one but her would dare to ignore and reject him like that.

"Can we order now?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Muran timidly handed the menu to him.

Mu Tingshen pushed the menu back in a huff, saying unhappily, "You've lived here for three years, but this is my first time here. Naturally, you should order so you can taste the local specialties."

"What do you like to eat? Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Su Muran had no choice but to take the menu back and then politely inquire.

Mu Tingshen's face grew increasingly gloomy. He chuckled and retorted, "You've forgotten what I like to eat and what I can't eat? It's only been three years since we separated, not thirty. Is it that your memory is just terrible, or am I simply insignificant to you?"

Su Muran: "..."

Why is he so resentful? It's inexplicable!

Seeing her astonished look, Mu Tingshen realized that he had overreacted.

Take a deep breath immediately and quickly calm yourself down.

"I don't like food with strange flavors, and I don't eat cilantro, but everything else is fine."

"This is Estonia, there's no cilantro here."

Su Muran whispered a reminder.

Then we called over a waiter and ordered several local specialties.

"This is a local smoked meat soup. Try it; it tastes good."

After the waiter served the dishes, Su Muran took the initiative to introduce them to him.

Mu Tingshen picked up a spoon, took a spoonful, his brows twitched almost imperceptibly, and then swallowed it.

Su Muran couldn't help but smile and say, "Is it because you're not used to the taste? Many people aren't used to it the first time they drink it. If you don't like it, just put it down."

Mu Tingshen put down his spoon, not only denying that he couldn't get used to the taste, but also saying with amusement, "It's not as good as the pumpkin porridge you made three years ago."

Su Muran's smile froze for a moment; she hadn't expected him to still remember that incident.

That was the first time she cooked porridge, and she mistakenly used salt instead of sugar.

After discovering the saltiness, they added a lot of sugar in an attempt to mask it.

As you can imagine, the porridge tasted terrible.

After being forbidden from stir-frying, she was also forbidden from cooking porridge and rice.

Did you watch the video I sent you?

Blushing, she changed the subject and picked up a spoon to scoop up a mouthful of soup.

"I've read it, so I have the theoretical knowledge, but I think I still need practical experience."

As Mu Tingshen spoke, he suddenly pulled out a tissue and reached out to wipe the soup off the corner of her mouth.

Su Muran didn't react for a moment.

When she realized what he was doing, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked up to meet his deep eyes.

Her image was clearly reflected in it, carrying emotions she couldn't decipher, so intense that she quickly looked away.

"We've been married for three years, and you blush just from wiping your mouth. This makes it easy for your family to notice something's wrong."

The man watched her flustered reaction with satisfaction, then spoke up with a pointed reminder.

Su Muran knew he had a point, but after three years apart, it was really hard for her to get back to the close relationship they had been back then.

"I know it's normal for you to feel awkward after three years apart. To get back to how things were before, come with me to a hotel tonight, and we'll go back to China together in two days."

The man then made a meaningful suggestion.
