After their run, both of them went back and took a shower each.
At breakfast, Ou Zun said to her, "Since you have plans with Xin Liao today, I will give you one day to plan. Go out and take a spin, you're starting school in a week, it'd be good for you to familiarize yourself with Imperial City."
She nodded.
"Sure."
After having breakfast, Ou Zun drove out.
He had been supervising her this whole time, not getting a chance to hang out with his friends. With her having this one day to herself, he gets one too.
Once she saw him leave, Mù Qiānxún eagerly dashed upstairs to rummage through her luggage and find a bottle of cola. Then she sat on the balcony, opened it, and took a big swig.
Total satisfaction on her face!
Ah, blissful!
Damn, Ou Zun was such a tyrant. He didn't let her touch carbonated drinks like cola at all.
Now that she finally took a sip, she burped comfortably.
Having a drink after a run was such a heavenly delight!
She had scheduled lunch with Xin Liao at noon. She barely made it to Mei's Gourmet Hall on time, even arriving a few minutes late.
When she was led into the "Di" character private room, there were already... four people sitting inside.
Xin Liao, along with a middle-aged couple, and a young man.
Mù Qiānxún frowned. Something seemed off here!
Upon seeing her come in, Xin Liao's expression darkened a bit, "Why are you late?"
His tone carried a hint of blame.
Mù Qiānxún shrugged, "There was a traffic jam."
"Couldn't you have set off earlier?"
Mù Qiānxún fell silent.
Upon seeing Mù Qiānxún appear, Gao Wen's eyes lit up. Mù Qiānxún's outfit today was casual, a simple shirt and jeans, her hair tied up in a neat ponytail. Yet, her simple attire made her appear even more vibrant, especially her bright eyes. She was simply stunning.
This future wife would truly bring him honor whenever they went out!
He was very satisfied.
However, while Gao Wen was pleased, his parents didn't share the same first impression of Mù Qiānxún. The grave matter of meeting elders and she was late, making the whole room wait for her. Their expressions grew dark.
Xin Liao didn't say much, he just introduced Mù Qiānxún to the Gao family.
"This is my daughter, Qianxun."
Before Mr. and Mrs. Gao could say anything, Gao Wen stood up and extended his hand to Mù Qiānxún, "I'm Gao Wen, nice to meet you."
Mù Qiānxún glanced around the room and suddenly understood. Ah, it's a blind date!
Her face lifted a bit.
She thought Xin Liao wanted to discuss something with her. It turned out he wanted to use her to establish family ties!
... But, would she oblige him?
Of course not.
Mù Qiānxún merely glanced at Gao Wen and didn't shake his extended hand. Instead, she sat down with a nonchalant air, "Dad, didn't you say you would take me out for a meal? You never mentioned this current situation. I'm kind of hungry, let's have the dishes served first!"
Seeing Mù Qiānxún being so tactless and lacking in manners, with their son's hand still extended, Mr. and Mrs. Gao's expressions darkened a bit.
Gao Cheng turned to Xin Liao, "President Xin, is this the gentle, virtuous and respectful daughter you spoke of? From what I see, she doesn't seem to have any manners at all."
Xin Liao was embarrassed as well, he shot Mù Qiānxún a glare, "When you come in, you should greet people. What is this behavior! Didn't you see Young Master Gao trying to shake your hand? Get up immediately."
