Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 945 - 12: I Want to Eat Braised Sea Cucumber Today

Wang Yunxiao walked to the company entrance and happened to bump into a snobbish young man striding out with his hands in his pockets.

His body reeked of women’s perfume.

He glanced sideways at Wang Yunxiao with a look of disdain, said nothing, and strutted away.

What kind of birdman is this?

Wang Yunxiao thought to himself that he hadn’t offended such a character, so he didn’t take it to heart.

However, when he walked into the company, he noticed that many employees were giving him strange looks.

Seeing Mu Yuming’s driver sitting at a workstation, Wang Yunxiao walked over, offered a cigarette, and whispered, "Uncle Zou, is Mumu upstairs?"

The driver uncle stuck the cigarette behind his ear and nodded, "She’s upstairs, and also..."

"What’s up?"

"Did you know the guy who just left?"

"Nope."

"The Mu family’s Seventh Young Master."

So what? Am I supposed to know him?

The driver uncle coughed and whispered, "You’ve been quite busy with work, haven’t you?"

"Yeah, pretty busy. Maybe I’ll have more free time next month."

Once February is over and nothing else pops up, the work at the Special Service Section should come to a close.

And then it’s back to school.

I can properly ask Director Qin for leave.

The driver uncle nodded and said nothing more.

What does that even mean? Is it because I can’t come every day, so Eldest Miss Li is mad at me?

Wang Yunxiao immediately felt a bit uneasy.

What am I supposed to do? You guys create the mess, and I’m the one left to clean it up!

Of course, when it comes to dating, you can’t expect to reason with women.

Not even on regular days.

They say the five assets for a man to woo a woman are: good looks, money, free time, a good car, and a sense of humor.

If you don’t look like Takeshi Kaneshiro or Eddie Peng, have no money, and are always busy, then you have to humble yourself.

Feeling anxious, Wang Yunxiao walked to the office door, pushed it open, and saw Li Mumu sitting behind the desk, fingers intertwined supporting her chin in deep thought, striking a pose like she was ready to launch an EVA.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

Seeing that she was ignoring him, Wang Yunxiao raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Commander Wang, you finally decided to show up?"

"I wasn’t sure if you were around, didn’t want to risk calling..."

This is Mu Yuming’s office. If I called and Boss Mu hadn’t left yet, think how awkward that would be?

At that moment, Wang Yunxiao suddenly realized that maybe that notebook wasn’t entirely worthless.

"Talk business?"

"Personal matter."

"Oh?"

Li Mumu rolled her eyes at him, "What personal matter?"

Wang Yunxiao took out two movie tickets, "Want to watch a movie?"

Li Mumu almost couldn’t hold her laughter—such a clichéd way to woo someone!

And really, what movie is even worth watching these days?

"I have to go home for dinner."

"Let’s eat out, and I’ll take you home after the movie."

"What to eat?"

"Shandong cuisine?"

"Braised sea cucumber with scallions?"

Wang Yunxiao chuckled awkwardly, "That’s a bit pricey..."

Li Mumu said nothing, just looked silently at him. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Wang Yunxiao gritted his teeth, "Let’s do it!"

"Let’s go."

The two of them went downstairs, and once again, they were met with a barrage of strange stares.

"We’re off!"

With Li Mumu’s command, all the awkward stares disappeared.

No matter how juicy the gossip, getting off work early is better.

Casually tossing something from her pocket to the female office worker beside her, Li Mumu walked up to the driver uncle and softly said, "Uncle Zou, you can go home. No need to drive me."

The uncle glanced at Wang Yunxiao standing beside her, and hesitated, "Miss, where are you headed? I can give you a lift. It’s not safe at night, the roads are dark and slippery."

"No need, he can drive."

Li Mumu took the keys and handed them to Wang Yunxiao.

Still a bit uneasy, the uncle said, "At least let me call the boss and let him know."

"Do as you like."

Mu Yuming certainly wouldn’t worry about Li Mumu running into bad people outside.

Bad people should be worrying about running into her.

But the driver had to be careful since his family’s livelihood depended on his salary. If something happened, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to the boss.

Just as they reached the car, the female office worker ran out with a worried expression, "Miss, what is this..."

"It’s a gift for you, no need to be polite," Li Mumu said.

Curious, Wang Yunxiao asked, "What is it?"

"Garbage."

Alright, if you say it’s garbage, then it’s garbage.

Wang Yunxiao, with sharp eyes, clearly saw that it was a jewelry box.

Who knows which mysterious man gave it to her.

Thinking about what the driver uncle subtly suggested earlier, his eyes unconsciously narrowed.

"What are you thinking?"

"I was just thinking... didn’t I promise to give you a gift before?"

"Before? When?"

"Last year, I think."

"What gift?"

"It’s ready, it’s in my dorm at school, just didn’t get a chance to give it to you."

"Oh?"

Li Mumu’s curiosity was piqued, "Why not get it after dinner tonight?"

"Not watching the movie?"

Li Mumu waved the movie tickets in front of Wang Yunxiao, "Are you sure you want to take me to see ’Dingjun Mountain’?"

Uh...

Wang Yunxiao fell silent.

Honestly, even he felt it was inappropriate. Taking a girl out on a date and watching Huang Zhong kill Xiahou?

"At least it’s the first movie made in the country, and it wasn’t easy to get the tickets."

"You’re so busy, yet you managed to buy movie tickets?"

"Okay, truthfully, they were issued by the Special Service Bureau."

"The Special Service Bureau gives you movie tickets? Wouldn’t two barrels of oil be more practical?"

"I heard the filmmaker isn’t an ordinary person."

"How extraordinary must they be to have the Special Service Bureau hand out movie tickets?"

"I have no idea."

Even Wang Yunxiao was baffled; it’s just a movie, how special can it be?

While talking, the car arrived at the restaurant.

This was a newly opened Shandong restaurant after the New Year, and Wang Yunxiao had thought about bringing Li Mumu here for a meal.

Unexpectedly, Li Mumu, who had studied abroad, knew about Shandong cuisine and right away ordered the most extravagant dish.

These days, braised sea cucumber with scallions... it’s no exaggeration to say each strand is priced in silver coins.

Wang Yunxiao felt his wallet aching.

After entering the restaurant and sitting in the elegant room, Li Mumu glanced at the menu and quietly asked Wang Yunxiao, "Are you really treating me?"

"Of course!"

Though Wang Yunxiao’s heart was bleeding, he remained expressionless: "Order whatever you want!"

"Alright then, Shop Assistant!"

Li Mumu coughed lightly and instructed the shop assistant, "Braised fish slices, sweet and sour pork, and two plates of dumplings!"

After the shop assistant left, Wang Yunxiao couldn’t help but ask, "Not having sea cucumber?"

"I don’t think this place is very authentic, let’s forget it."

Li Mumu chuckled, "Saving you some money, for your future marriage."
