"My leg is injured."
Enyi wasn't ready to give up. "What's the big deal? There's a car downstairs, and I can carry you down from the building."
As if afraid that Mu Junze might misunderstand, she quickly added, "I just think the food downstairs is delicious. Last time when Meng Nianchu and I were kidnapped, you were willing to rescue me from those bad guys. I just want to have a chance to repay you, so I'm inviting you to have dinner downstairs. There's no other intention."
Hearing her mention the incident when Meng Nianchu was kidnapped, Mu Junze suddenly remembered who this woman was.
His expression remained unchanged, his face expressionless.
Enyi frowned slightly. "Why do you always have such a cold face? I haven't done anything to you, yet you seem to have an issue with me. Is it really that difficult to invite you to have a meal?"
"My leg is injured." Mu Junze was so perfunctory that he didn't even bother to come up with an excuse.
Enyi pouted and sat down on the sofa on one side. She thought that Meng Nianchu must be dealing with work at this moment, which was why she brought Mu Junze here.
Although she silently complained in her heart that Mu Junze was cold and had a strange personality, she still worried that he might have some inconveniences being alone here. So she decided to stay quietly and see if he needed any help.
But with a strange woman around him, a single man and a single woman in the same room, Mu Junze felt extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to go out and find another place to sit.
As soon as he moved, Enyi stood up too.
"Do you want to go out?" She stepped forward and tried to support Mu Junze.
Mu Junze dodged her outstretched hand.
With her hands hanging in the air, Enyi retracted them awkwardly. "If you want to go somewhere, I can take you there. You're a bit inconvenienced now. I can help you."
"My wife can do it too." Mu Junze replied coldly.
Enyi was rendered speechless. Seeing Mu Junze's resistance to her getting close, she finally understood that Mu Junze wanted to leave because he didn't want to be in the same room with her.
She took a step back. After trying so hard, her bit of boldness was temporarily depleted, and she couldn't keep being enthusiastic.
Pouting her lips, she looked around. "Since you don't need any help, I'll leave first. I won't bother you."
Mu Junze visibly relaxed.
Enyi quickly left the room.
After that, Mu Junze laboriously sat back on the chair and continued his work. When he was busy, time seemed to pass very quickly. Mu Junze felt that he had barely been concentrating for a while when Meng Nianchu bounced into the room, put her arms around his neck, and looked excited.
"We've finally finished writing all the lyrics! The arrangement will be done by a professional arranger, so we don't have to rack our brains."
Mu Junze let out a soft "hmm".
Meng Nianchu smiled. "It's already noon. You haven't eaten yet, right? I know there's a really delicious Chinese restaurant downstairs. I'm sorry you had to stay here all morning. I'll make it up to you!"
Hearing this, Mu Junze's ever - cold face showed a slight change. He slowly lifted his eyelids and looked at her. He suddenly grabbed Meng Nianchu's slender waist with his big hand and said playfully, "How are you going to make it up to me?"
As soon as these four words came out of Mu Junze's mouth, Meng Nianchu blushed involuntarily. At this moment, her stomach growled twice. Meng Nianchu said, "Let's go eat quickly. I'm so hungry!"
Since his wife was so hungry, Mu Junze naturally wouldn't waste any more time. He quickly packed up his things and let Meng Nianchu support him as they walked downstairs.
As soon as they stepped on the first - floor floor, they saw Mu Feng waiting at the entrance. When he saw Meng Nianchu, he walked over with a big smile.
"Teacher Meng, have a meal with me."
Mu Junze's expression immediately darkened, and the strength of his arm around Meng Nianchu increased. "She's having a meal with me."
Mu Feng still looked at Meng Nianchu. "You've been taking care of me all the time when my leg was injured the other day. Most of the lyrics for our competition today were also thought up by you. The competition tasks will be more urgent in a few days. How about having a meal together while we're here? Consider it my way of repaying you."
"She's having a meal with me." Mu Junze spoke again, his words even colder.
This imposing manner forced Mu Feng to notice him. "Mr. Mu isn't so petty, is he? I just want to invite Teacher Meng to have a meal. Is that not okay?"
"Could it be that Mr. Mu has no confidence in himself and thinks that I'm better than you and that Teacher Meng will fall in love with me?"
"No." Mu Junze answered cleanly and without hesitation.
Mu Feng was silenced.
Meng Nianchu was so hungry that her stomach was growling. She didn't want to waste any more words with Mu Feng, so she immediately refused. "It's my duty as a tutor to help you. You don't need to take it to heart. Wait until you really become famous in the future, and then it won't be too late to repay me. Instead of wasting time talking to me here, you'd better hurry up and have lunch and then go practice dancing."
She supported Mu Junze and walked outside.
Mu Feng shouted after her, but Meng Nianchu pretended not to hear.
After crossing a road, Mu Junze slightly curled the corner of his mouth and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you go to have a meal with him?"
After thinking for two seconds, Meng Nianchu remembered that he was talking about Mu Feng. Looking at Mu Junze with a smile in her eyes, she said, "If you want me to, I can go back right now and have a meal with him."
As soon as the words fell, Meng Nianchu instantly felt that the air around Mu Junze became oppressive.
Meng Nianchu tried hard not to laugh.
During this period of work, Meng Nianchu would always have lunch in this Chinese restaurant. So as soon as Meng Nianchu entered the restaurant, the waiter recognized her and immediately asked someone to clean up the room where Meng Nianchu usually ate.
Mu Junze quietly observed the surroundings of the restaurant. It was quite clean.
After supporting Mu Junze to sit on the chair in the room, the waiter served two cups of tea and then left. Meng Nianchu said with a smile, "The environment here is really good. Knowing that you're a clean - freak, the place I bring you to certainly won't be dirty."
Mu Junze felt a little proud that she knew him so well, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
The chef in the restaurant's kitchen cooked the food according to Meng Nianchu's usual taste, so Meng Nianchu didn't need to order specifically. After a while, the food was served, and the fragrant smell filled the whole room.
Meng Nianchu picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of mussel, her favorite dish, on Mu Junze's plate.
Mu Junze took a bite.
"So fragrant!" A voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this voice, both Meng Nianchu and Mu Junze were stunned.
Mu Feng walked in on his own. Seeing the delicious food on the table, he said, "So fragrant!"
