"Dear elder brother, Mother wants to introduce you to Miss Ling as a potential match. The eldest brother is already the head of the Mu family, and the matter of inheriting the family is urgent. Mother has been concerned about your well-being for years, so let's go and meet her!"
Mu Yunhan pleaded earnestly, knowing that his eldest brother's mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Su Zimo. He had often heard his eldest brother call out Su Zimo's name in the middle of the night, causing him to wake up. He had once asked his eldest brother why he was so obsessed with Su Zimo, but his brother had never given an answer.
"No, I refuse."
Mu Yunxuan's tone was resolute. The moment he saw the woman, his mind was filled with her distant expression. He admitted that she had left a lasting impression on his heart, and for six years, that impression had never faded away...
Su Zimo didn't want the Su Li brothers to accompany her, so she went with He Yunting instead. They chatted and laughed as they walked along the way.
The people of Haoyue Country lived prosperous lives. Walking on the streets, people were enjoying themselves, and the streets were bustling with activity.
"This market in the capital is truly incomparable to the border!"
The shops on both sides of Su Zimo Street were doing well.
"Naturally, but don't underestimate our business at the border. Your unique goods are highly popular there."
"Of course, can anything I, Su Zimo, come up with be ordinary?" Su Zimo suddenly felt proud, her usually cold and indifferent eyes filled with a smile.
"Oh, you! You really know how to boast. Have you only known me for a day or two, and you're already acting so proud? Why be modest?"
"Hmm! When did you learn to be humble... It's all just empty words."
He Yunting glanced at her sideways, a mocking smile on the corners of his mouth and a twinkle in his eyes. In truth, he felt happy every time he chatted with her.
"Look at your tone, as if I have thick skin."
Su Zi Monu glared at him.
"Hmm! Has anyone ever accused you of having thin skin?" He Yunting pretended to look away, using a phrase that a certain woman often used to tease him. It was like trying to kill a cockroach, it just wouldn't die.
Oh, by the way, we're here.
He Yunting pointed to a four-door shop next to the street. It's pretty good, and quite spacious. Su
Zimo looked across and saw that it was Mu Rui Paper Estate, which was part of the Mu family's business. Excellent, the game between her and Mu Yunxuan was about to begin.
"This used to be a textile village, but Mu Family's Textile Village is located nearby, and their business hasn't been doing well. So it's a good opportunity for us to buy it."
"Hmph! Opportunities often favor those who are prepared. Let's go, Yunhan, let's go inside and examine the structure of the building. I also need to design the decoration plans."
"Hmm!"
The shop was still vacant, but a few employees who had stayed behind were chatting inside.
Upon seeing Fengyunting and Su Zimo entering, the employees quickly stood up to greet them.
"Big brother, look, it's He Yunting who just entered. Who is the woman with the mask next to him?"
Mu Yunxuan and Mu Yunhan, who had just arrived, caught a glimpse of He Yunting's back.
Mu Yunxuan's gaze penetrated, and suddenly he caught sight of Su Zimo's back. His body froze as he recognized that familiar figure. His handsome brows furrowed deeper and deeper, as the nightmares that haunted him every night resurfaced. It was the figure that had desperately tried to escape from him.
"Big brother, what's the matter?"
Mu Yunhan looked at his eldest brother's strange expression with confusion.
"That woman... She looks like her."
Mu Yunxuan murmured to himself, deep surprise flickering in his sharp eyes. There was only one woman in the world who had ever scolded him like that.
The two pairs of eyes, filled with their own thoughts, locked onto each other. Mu Yunxuan's deep, sharp gaze stared intently at the angry eyes beneath the mask. He could clearly sense the anger and coldness radiating from Su Zimo's body, and even Mu Yunhan could feel it.
"Presumably, madam is the owner of Bright Moon Villa!"
Sensing the tense atmosphere between the two, Mu Yunhan spoke up.
"Madam?" Su Zimo frowned. No one had ever addressed her in that way. But she quickly understood. She was already a mother of three children, so it was not unreasonable for people to refer to her as "Mrs."
"Momo, come here and try the ginger soup and red date tea I brewed. They taste just like yours."
He Yunting's voice preceded his arrival as he turned the corner and saw Mu Yunxuan and Mu Yunhan.
