Super Rich by Doing as You Please-Chapter 78: Sis, You Can’t Rush This Kind of Thing
He’d figure out if it was convenient later. It was right next door, so it wasn’t far anyway.
So, the two of them drove back to their apartment complex.
On the way, he sent a text to Ning Qian.
[Xu Yun: Do you have any questions?]
A moment later, a reply came from Ning Qian.
[Ning Qian: No.]
[Ning Qian: Are you coming back tonight?]
[Xu Yun: Probably not.]
[Ning Qian: Okay, I’ll deadbolt the door before I go to sleep then, just to be safe.]
Seeing Xu Yun constantly on his phone, Su Mu, who was driving, asked curiously, "Who are you texting?"
"No one, just a friend."
Xu Yun put his phone away and asked, "By the way, what does your ex-husband do for a living?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Just curious. He seemed cocky as hell yesterday."
"He’s in finance."
Su Mu said, "I think he’s a wealth management product manager at a bank now, handling investments for rich people."
"Which bank?"
"That I don’t know." Su Mu hadn’t been in contact with him since their divorce.
Aside from their unexpected encounter yesterday.
At the thought, she couldn’t help but laugh. "He had just bought that new car, and you wrecked it like that. He must hate your guts."
"That’s what he gets for acting so smug in front of me."
Xu Yun said, "You know me, I’m a low-key guy. I never start trouble."
"So you just go straight for the jugular, is that it?"
Su Mu smiled. "Don’t be so impulsive next time. If you run into someone unreasonable or violent, you could really get hurt."
"I’m not an idiot. I size people up before I make a move."
"By the way, your car is being repaired now. How will you get to and from work?"
Su Mu asked, "How about you ride with me for a while?"
"Sure."
Xu Yun said happily, "Sister Su, you’re the best."
"This was my fault to begin with."
Su Mu asked, "So, what do you want to eat tonight? Anything you want."
"I’m not a picky eater. As long as it’s good, I’ll eat it."
"Alright then, I’ll whip up a few of my specialties for you to try."
Back at the complex, they bought groceries at the supermarket downstairs before heading up to her apartment.
This was Xu Yun’s second time inside Su Mu’s home.
The first time was because of Li Jinshu; he had to fix her water heater, and he also ended up fixing her headlights in the bedroom.
This time, he was alone with Su Mu again.
’There might be an opportunity.’
As soon as they got home, Su Mu changed into some loose, comfortable clothes and came back out with her hair tied up. It wasn’t a girlish look, but one full of mature charm.
Xu Yun asked, "Do you need my help?"
"No, just watch some TV. I’ll call you when it’s ready."
"Alright then."
Su Mu might have been a white-collar professional, but she was a fantastic cook. In less than an hour, she had skillfully prepared two Western-style meals.
There was a pan-fried steak and a side of pasta for each of them, along with a vegetable salad.
To add to the atmosphere, Su Mu brought out a bottle of red wine and then put on some soothing music in the living room.
Even though they were at home, the ambiance was perfect.
"Sister Su, you really know how to set a mood."
Xu Yun smiled. "If I didn’t know any better, I’d think we were eating in a private room at some exclusive club."
"I was just afraid you’d complain if there wasn’t enough ceremony."
Su Mu took the initiative and poured them each a glass of red wine. "A toast?" she said.
"Cheers."
The wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.
They both took a sip before starting on the black pepper steak in front of them.
Su Mu explained, "I made the steak well-done, not medium-well. If you don’t like it, I can go make you another one."
"I’ve got simple tastes. I like my steak well-done."
Xu Yun cut off a piece and put it in his mouth. With one bite, he found it tender and juicy, absolutely delicious.
"Sister Su, your cooking is almost on par with a restaurant."
Xu Yun’s eyes lit up. "I’ll have to come by more often after work from now on."
"You’re welcome anytime."
Su Mu smiled. "But you can get tired of even the most delicious food. I’m just worried you’ll stop liking it after a few times."
"I won’t come every day. Just once in a while for a meal will be enough."
Xu Yun replied, "That way, it’ll always feel fresh, and you won’t get sick of me. Don’t you think I’m right, Sister Su?"
"That does make sense. I’m willing to make you a meal occasionally. If I had to cook for you all the time, I might really get tired of it."
"So you agree?"
"What’s there to agree or disagree about? Eating alone can be boring and pointless sometimes."
Su Mu replied, "Let’s just be meal buddies. We can hit each other up for a meal whenever we feel like it."
"Then here’s to us becoming meal buddies. Let’s have a toast."
Xu Yun raised his glass and clinked it against Su Mu’s again before taking a drink.
After that, they drank red wine, ate steak and pasta, listened to the soothing music, and talked about their pasts.
Xu Yun talked about his ex-girlfriend, and for the first time, Su Mu told someone about her husband.
Somehow, the two of them managed to finish the entire bottle of wine.
After dinner, Su Mu took care of cleaning up the kitchen.
When she came out, she saw Xu Yun lying on the sofa, looking a little tipsy.
Her expression was complicated.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she took out her phone and sent a message to Jinshu.
[Su Mu: When are you coming back? Should I wait for you for dinner?]
A moment later, Li Jinshu replied from next door.
[Li Jinshu: I might be working late today, so don’t wait up for me. Get some rest. Love you, mwah.]
[Su Mu: Okay, got it.]
After getting a definite answer from Li Jinshu, Su Mu seemed to make up her mind. She reached a hand inside her loose-fitting clothes.
A moment later, her bra was deftly removed and tossed casually onto the floor.
Then, she bent over slightly and removed something else.
After doing all this, she walked straight over to Xu Yun, blocking his view of the TV.
Xu Yun looked at her in confusion and said, "Sister Su, you’re blocking the TV."
"Are the beauties on TV better looking than me?"
Xu Yun: "???"
Before he could even react, Su Mu seemed to lose her balance and fell right into his lap.
Her eyes were silky and alluring, a picture of delicate charm. The message she was sending was so clear even an idiot could understand it.
She was overcome with desire.
"Sister Su..." Xu Yun began.
It had all happened so suddenly, he could hardly believe it.
’Does this red wine really work as an aphrodisiac?’
"..."
Su Mu shot him a look that was a mixture of shy and annoyed.
Seeing this, Xu Yun chuckled sheepishly. "Okay, okay, I’ll do my best..."
