Chapter 72 – Breakfast
Ashan who was lying at front seat quickly caught up in their conversation. In an instant, his “dirty language radar” began to work again. He struggled to wake up and shouted, “Girls can’t speak dirty words!” Then he quickly twisted his neck back to position and fell asleep.

Su Jishi: “….”

So at 4:30 in the morning, the former financial backer sent her a hammer. Was it to harass her sexually?

She didn’t think so. Out of curiosity, she sent a simple question mark.

Mr. Mu: Hammer

Dr. Su : ?

The man’s reply came fast and it was again, emoticons.

Mr. Mu : [Motorcycle]

Dr. Su : ?

Mr. Mu : [Loudspeaker]

Su Jishi : “…”

As if it was still not enough, Mu Xiulun sent a photo—which was enough for Su Jishi’s mouth to run dry.

The photo was taken from the top of the set, containing all the details of the entire set, showing everything that happened a few hours ago.

Su Jishi was stunned. She quickly pulled up the shade on the car window and cast her eyes on the street outside.

It was an early summer morning, from a distance, the sky could be seen already breaking, the warm red sun rose from the end of the street, and the light orangerays fell on her nanny car.

On the street, the crew members were busy packing up the props. The heavy cameras were the first to be transported away. Several people were holding wrenches in their hands and were unscrewing screws of built props.

Around them, there were many tall buildings looming the streets. Countless office buildings crowded this core business district. Su Jishi looked up and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t find out which building Mu Xiulun was hiding in.

Dr. Su: What do you want?

Mr. Mu: nothing. It just suddenly occurred to me that the hammer you left with me has not been returned to you.

Dr. Su: …

Mr. Mu: why don’t we have dinner sometime?

Su Jishi’s eyebrow raised significantly, she didn’t think he was so kind to offer.

She looked at her watch and found that it was almost five o’clock and therefore, it was not rush hour yet and no civilian could be seen in the streets. Only the cleaners who were responsible for sweeping the streets were seen working hard.

Dr. Su: Dinner is not necessary.

Dr. Su: An appointment for breakfast is fine.

Mr. Mu: …

Mr. Mu: At this time, good restaurants are not yet opened.

Dr. Su: Do you always have to eat breakfast at restaurants?

Dr. Su: where there is no home-made pancakes and steamed dumplings? Really?

Mr. Mu: ….

Even through his screen, Mu Xiulin could imagine Su Jishi’s disdain.

Forget it. Anyway, she was the one who suggested to eat a roadside stall. She was a popular artist who was not afraid to be recognized by passers-by. Why must he worry about this?

Five minutes later, the nanny car pulled out of the business district and stopped at an obscure corner. In order to hide from the public, Su Jishi made a special appointment with Mu Xiulun at this very place.

Fang Xie heard that she was going to see him alone. He was extremely worried, just like an old mother who watched her daughter fly away from her nest. His eyes moistened with concern and fear.

When Su Jishi thought about it, she just shrugged her shoulders. Meeting with a good, handsome man for breakfast at daybreak could be perceived romantic. If she was photographed by the media, they would definitely write something like “S Surname Actress Spent a Good Night With a Handsome Man and Ate Breakfast With Him Sweetly”.

On second thoughts, she didn’t want too much attention. She could think of some ways she could hide her identity.

“You don’t have to worry,” she said hastily. “I will just go meet him and not mess with him.”

“I’m not afraid of you messing around.” Fang Xie explained, “I’m afraid you’ll eat food with lots of calories!”

Su Jishi: “…..” She slammed the door and left.

Mu Xiulun’s luxury car was parked on the side of the road. He leaned against the door with a cigarette between his fingertips. He was busy at the company until 12 o’clock last night and slept directly in the lounge.

Being a light sleeper, he got up after only a few hours of rest. However, he didn’t think the cast filming downstairs had left yet. Overlooking from upstairs, Su Jin’s nanny car was parked on a parking lot facing his office.

He couldn’t say exactly what kind of psychology it was—maybe it was out of impulse when he sent her a WeChat message and asked her to meet him.

However, when he finally arrived at the appointed place, he was blown by the morning breeze and the tide that flooded his senses quickly faded.

Was he too early?

Mu Xiulun laughed at himself. What was Su Jin’s real character and what was happening to him lately? She pretends to be weak and lovely in front of her fans and reveals her true face in private. Why does he care by the way?

Besides, he believed that Su Jin secretly loved him. By asking her to meet him so rashly, he must have given her hope! He realized.

With these thoughts, he immediately decided to send WeChat to Su Jin to cancel the meeting.

However, before he could take out his cell phone, behind him came a girl’s clear and sweet voice. “Mr. Mu, I have been waiting so long.”

He didn’t expect her to come so quietly.

Mu Xiulun subconsciously turned around, after waiting to see the figure of the girl, his fingers’s grasp went loose, the cigarette between his fingertips immediately fell to the ground, the smoke was blown away by the wind in an instant.

When stars went out of the street, in order to prevent paparazzi, they are always covered from head to toe—masks, glasses, hats, coats.

However, Su Jishi looked fresh, wearing only the simplest T-shirt and sports pants, her short shoulder hair was tied casually with a band, several locks fell on the side of her cheeks.

The sky was bright, the early office workers came and went in a hurry, the subway security guards yawned and opened the security door, and one old man sweeping the street passed by with a broom…However, no one noticed and recognized Su Jin who passed by them.

—Because Su Jin’s face was covered with a tiger mask.

Mu Xiulun: “.…”

Mu Xiulun: “???”

Mu Xiulun: “!!!”
