Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 521 The Blind Girl Bound by Gratitude (14)

In a Western restaurant, Mu Zhou and Lan Ze sat facing each other.

Mu Zhou had wanted Lan Ze to come to this restaurant with her for a long time.

But Lanze was always busy with work and had no time at all.

Unexpectedly, the first time the two came here was because of their divorce.

After seeing the man at the next table help his female companion cut her steak, Lan Ze showed a rare display of emotional intelligence.

He proactively cut Mu Zhou's steak and placed it in front of her.

"Thank you."

Mu Zhou thanked him politely and carefully picked up his fork to savor the food.

But Lanze had a poor appetite.

According to Yang Xue's analysis, Mu Zhou was willing to risk her life to love him, so how could she possibly stop loving him so easily?

Therefore, as long as he makes Mu Zhou realize his true feelings, she will always soften and get back together with him.

But how can he make Mu Zhou realize his true feelings?

Lan Ze frowned.

He rarely has such worries.

The words Mu Zhou once said flashed through my mind.

Those words that he habitually ignored.

The food she wants to eat, the places she wants to go, the gifts she wants...

Perhaps, if we give her this compensation, she might soften her heart.

As he was thinking this, he looked up and saw a familiar figure walking towards him.

The man wore a simple white shirt and black trousers, the cut of which was sophisticated and smooth, exuding an air of nobility.

He stopped beside the two of them.

Lan Ze looked at him and subconsciously frowned.

The man curled his lips into a slight smile:

"What a coincidence."

A deep voice suddenly rang out, and Mu Zhou instantly recognized it as Fu Hanji's voice.

Her breathing slowed slightly, and she gripped the knife and fork nervously.

Mu Zhou's obvious unease was noticed by Fu Hanji, who narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lan Ze couldn't help but feel somewhat displeased when he saw that Lan Ze's gaze was undisguisedly fixed on Mu Zhou.

He glanced behind Fu Hanji and said to him:

"Dr. Fu, you're here to attend the discussion, right? Then I won't disturb you any longer."

The meaning of seeing the guest off is quite clear.

But Fu Hanji did not leave as he said. He raised his hand and beckoned the waiter over, and added another chair and cutlery.

"The discussion has ended, and I'm a bit hungry."

He then sat down on his own.

Lanze hadn't expected him to be so shameless, but he had no choice but to accept his joining.

He introduced Mu Zhou to the following:

“It’s Fu Hanji from our research institute. He wants to join us.”

Mu Zhou nodded, but didn't say anything.

Fu Hanji looked at her, his eyes darkening.

The waiter quickly brought another steak.

Fu Hanji moved with elegance, his knife and fork barely making a sound.

Seeing that Mu Zhou's juice was almost empty, Lan Ze quickly refilled it for her.

Fu Hanji watched coldly, his expression gloomy.

The three of them ate in silence, the atmosphere slightly eerie.

After Mu Zhou finished her portion, she wiped her mouth and said to Lan Ze:

"Go ahead and get busy, I'm going back now."

During his meal, Mu Zhou overheard someone from the lab calling him.

It seems that he had to squeeze out half a day off today.

However, Lan Ze wasn't too slow-witted today; he immediately put down his knife and fork and stood up.

"I send you."

"No need, I don't want to interfere with your work."

As the argument raged on, Fu Hanji put down his knife and fork and said calmly:

"If you're busy with work, go back to the research institute. I happen to be going that way, so I'll give Mu Zhou a ride back."

He spoke so casually, and Lan Ze stared at him, his eyes almost wide open.

Fu Hanji was an outstanding student from a young age, a humble gentleman who was oblivious to worldly affairs and always devoted to academic pursuits.

He is also very shrewd in business, knowing when to advance and when to retreat.

Lan Ze admired him greatly when he first met him.

However, Fu Hanji unexpectedly crossed the line when it came to Mu Zhou's matter.

To completely disregard these words and actions is already quite outrageous.

Faced with Lanze's anger, he showed no restraint whatsoever.

"Why do you seem so surprised? Isn't this how you always do things?"

He raised an eyebrow at Lan Ze indifferently, not thinking there was anything wrong with what he said.

Lan Ze's chest heaved with anger:

“Fu Hanji, even though we are divorced, there are some things you have no right to say. This is a matter between us.”

Fu Hanji's eyes flickered, and he quickly grasped the key point:

"You're divorced?"

His heart skipped a beat, and when he looked at Mu Zhou again, the expectant light in his eyes was almost overflowing.

They really got divorced?!

The usually calm and serious person now seemed to have a flower blooming in the corner of their eye.

Mu Zhou didn't answer him, nor did he want to pay attention to the two of them. He simply picked up his white cane and prepared to leave.

Fu Hanji naturally followed and reached out to support her arm.

But as soon as he touched her, she quickly shook him off.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Fu Hanji was afraid that she might accidentally bump into something while struggling, so he had no choice but to follow closely behind her.

Lanze was almost laughing in anger at the sight.

He was clearly the one closest to Mu Zhou, but now he's been excluded.

He hurried up.

*

In the end, all three of them took a taxi back to Mu Zhou's house.

Mu Zhou naturally did not invite the two upstairs.

Downstairs, Fu Hanji watched Mu Zhou leave without even glancing at Lan Ze before turning to leave.

But Lanze stopped him.

Even someone as stupid as him could see that Fu Hanji had ulterior motives towards Mu Zhou.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Fu Hanji:

"Fu Hanji, Mu Zhou is my wife."

"Ex-wife".

Fu Hanji calmly corrected him.

Lanze couldn't refute it, but he still couldn't accept his behavior:

“That’s my ex-wife. We grew up together. She loved me very much. She went blind to save me. The bond between us can’t be broken by a few words.”

Fu Hanji's face darkened, and he looked at Lan Ze, a sinister glint spreading across his eyes.

He knew, of course, that what Lanze said was true.

What they experienced in the past is something he may never be able to catch up with in the future.

But so what?

"So what? She loved you so much, yet she still decided to divorce you. You didn't cherish her, and you don't deserve to stay by her side."

Fu Hanji's expression remained unchanged, but his tone became increasingly aggressive.

Lan Ze was so intimidated by his imposing presence that he couldn't speak.

Eventually broke up on bad terms.

In the evening, Mu Zhou ordered takeout.

She stood quietly at the door, listening. Only after hearing the elevator doors close and confirming that the delivery person had left did she cautiously open the door.

But the moment she opened the door, she realized that there were still people outside.

She instinctively tried to close the door, but the person stuck their foot in to block it.

"it's me."

Hearing the familiar voice, Mu Zhou's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Thinking about how she had just been so frightened that her hair stood on end, she angrily shoved the person who came in.

"Get out of here. Who told you to come here?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I was afraid something had happened to you since you weren't answering my calls. I just wanted to come and see you."

Fu Hanji let her "punch and kick" him and successfully squeezed into the door.
