Su Wanxia thought it was Yan Yirou and the others, so without looking, she answered the call directly.
"Yirou, stop rushing me, I'm in line!" Su Wanxia said irritably.
The person on the other end of the phone was taken aback for 2 seconds.
"Hello, may I ask if this is Ms. Su?" It was a strange male voice.
Su Wanxia raised her eyebrows in confusion, "Yes, who might you be?"
"Hello, your car is in serious violation of parking regulations. Please arrive at the scene within five minutes, otherwise, your car will be towed away."
"What?" Su Wanxia was instantly dumbfounded and involuntarily cried out. It was the car she bought when she returned to the country; how could it just be towed away like that?
The people in line looked at her curiously.
She waved apologetically to the people around her.
Then, speaking urgently into the phone, she said, "I'll be there right away. Please don't tow my car."
Looking ahead at the long line of seven or eight more people, Su Wanxia rubbed her forehead in frustration. What a mess!
Then she fixed her gaze ahead, lightly touched the person in front of her, and started in an embarrassed tone, "Hello, sir, could you do me a favor?"
The person in front seemed quite surprised, turning around and looking at Su Wanxia inquiringly.
Su Wanxia didn't expect that a casual touch would reach such a handsome guy, and she smiled sheepishly, "My car…it's parked in the wrong spot, and I need to get there immediately. Could you help me check out?"
Without waiting for the man to say anything else, she efficiently pulled out some cash from her wallet and placed it in his hands.
"Thank you so much!"
After speaking, she added, "You're such a good person."
Then she hurried towards the exit in her high heels.
Mu Chuyang watched Su Wanxia's retreating figure, then shook his head with a smile, amused that there were still such interesting people around.
After settling the bill, and pushing a cart full of Su Wanxia's items, he arrived at the exit elevator. Actually, he hadn't really bought much, just picked up a pack of gum on a whim.
Soon, a group of people came out of the special elevator, each smartly dressed and wearing serious expressions, respectfully surrounding the man in the middle who had an icy demeanor and an air of elegant nobility, and they walked toward Mu Chuyang.
The bodyguards waiting by the elevator also stood silently behind him.
Mu Chuyang waved, "Big brother, finished so soon?"
Mu Yingchen glanced at him, then at the cart of goods he was pushing, raising an eyebrow.
"Since when are you so devoted to market research that you need to buy so much food?"
Mu Chuyang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't buy this stuff. It belongs to a beautiful woman."
Seeing Mu Yingchen's frown deepen, Mu Chuyang added, "Don't overthink it; I'm just being a good guy by keeping an eye on it for a moment."
Mu Yingchen couldn't be bothered with him and headed for the underground parking lot, the group hurriedly following behind.
Having paid the penalty, Su Wanxia moved her car to another spot and then dashed back to the mall like the wind. She really had rotten luck today, for not checking the almanac before leaving the house.
Just entering the main gate, she saw the handsome man standing at the exit, pushing her cart full of items, glancing periodically toward the entrance.
When he saw her come in, he waved at her.
Out of breath, Su Wanxia approached him.
"I'm really grateful to you."
Mu Chuyang, having taken off his sunglasses, looked at Su Wanxia, a flash of admiration in his eyes. What a beauty! Absolutely stunning!
"It's nothing. Is your car all taken care of?"
"Yes, it's taken care of," Su Wanxia replied with an embarrassed smile.
"Here are your things," Mu Chuyang said, pushing the cart toward Su Wanxia.
"Thank you." Remembering the rush from earlier and needing the items, Su Wanxia couldn't help but smile awkwardly again.
"There's no need to be so formal, I'm Mu Chuyang. May I ask how to address you, miss?" He thought that getting to know such a beautiful woman could be a good opportunity.
Upon hearing his name, Su Wanxia's pretty eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
Her slight movement was just captured by Mu Chuyang, who had been watching her closely.
"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?" Mu Chuyang assumed she didn't want to tell him her name.
With a chuckle, Su Wanxia said, "Not at all, here's my business card. Let's grab a coffee when you're free."
Mu Chuyang took the business card and looking at the English on it, he exclaimed with surprise, "You've been abroad? Just got back to the country?"
"Yes! I just got back today."
"I've also returned from abroad not long ago."
With a look of surprise, Su Wanxia said, "It seems we're both so-called overseas returnees."
No sooner had she finished speaking, her phone rang again.
Glancing at Mu Chuyang apologetically, Su Wanxia said, "Excuse me, I have to take a call."
"Sure, no problem."
"Yirou, yeah. I've already bought it, alright, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Su Wanxia said to Mu Chuyang, "Sorry, I'm a bit rushed today, I'll thank you another time."
Mu Chuyang smiled, "OK."
"Goodbye!"
"Goodbye."
Watching Su Wanxia disappear, Mu Chuyang quickly headed towards the underground parking lot, knowing he'd definitely be scolded if he didn't hurry.
By the time he arrived at the VIP parking area, as expected, all the executives and bodyguards were standing erect and respectfully beside a luxurious and imposing Rolls-Royce. Seeing him, they bent at the waist to greet him, "Fourth Young Master!"
Mu Chuyang nodded and opened the rear car door to sit inside by himself.
Seeing the displeased look on his elder brother's face, he dangled Su Wanxia's business card in front of Mu Yingchen and teased, "See this? A beauty who's also just returned from abroad."
Mu Yingchen didn't even glance at it, turning his head away coldly, and instructed the driver in front, "Drive."
As the car started slowly, from outside came a resounding and orderly chant, "Farewell to Young Master Mu and Fourth Young Master!"
Mu Chuyang saw Mu Yingchen's expression and said teasingly, "Big brother, I'm telling you, this beauty has just come back from abroad, just like me!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Yingchen's frown deepened.
"She's a super great beauty too, how about it? Want me to introduce you?"
"Look at how many years you've been single—it's been that way since I went abroad, and now you're still alone. Big brother, I'm telling you..."
As Mu Chuyang was prattling on, Mu Yingchen shot him a look, and he immediately shut his mouth.
Now that he had finally silenced, Mu Yingchen turned away his gaze and leaned back into the comfortable seat, closing his eyes to rest.
Mu Chuyang shrugged his shoulders and also leaned back, idly twirling the business card in his hand.
Glancing out the window absently, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, sat up straight, rapidly rolled down the window, and shouted out, "Hey! Su Wanxia! Su Wanxia!"
Suddenly, someone seized him by the collar and yanked him over.
Before he could react, Mu Yingchen was looming over him with a dark expression, "What did you just call?"
Mu Chuyang looked confused, "Big brother, what's wrong? Let go of me first."
"I'm asking you, who did you just call?" Mu Yingchen raised his voice, sounding somewhat urgent.
"I called Su Wanxia, the beauty at the mall I was just helping with shopping. I thought I saw her just now."
"Here, this is her." Mu Chuyang handed the business card to Mu Yingchen.
