Chapter 734: UNEXPECTED CUSTOMER
Chapter 734: UNEXPECTED CUSTOMER
Mu Lan was shocked. 'What is wrong with these people? All they know is work! I have to make a move.'
In the second floor, Jing Sheng and Mu Lan were organizing a bouquet. At that time Noel came into the shop. He stretched out some papers and said, "Miss Jing, I need your signature here."
Jing Sheng looked at the document, read for a while and after that, signed it. At that time, Mu Lan's eyes were darting towards Noel but she found nothing unusual.
'He is professional at hiding his feelings or I'm reading too much into it.' She commented in her heart.
After signing the papers, Jing Sheng showed Noel the bouquet she made just now. "Noel, I did it for a couple's third marriage anniversary. How is it?"
Noel smiled at her and said, "Beautiful." His eyes were too warm to make a candle melt.
'Nani*?!?!' Mu Lan's eyes grew like a flying saucer. 'Did I just see correctly? My eyes feel like melting at his gaze.'
Noticing that her face was burning, she turned to her left side where was a decorative mirror. She discovered that her face was flushed.
'Oh no no, this can't be happening. Why am I blushing? Face, calm down. Calm down.' She rubbed her both cheeks.
"First Young Mistress, are you alright?" Noel saw her unusual behavior and asked her.
Mu Lan glanced at him and smiled. "I'm perfect."
In her heart, she was saying, 'Perfect, my *ss! I feel like a light bulb**.'
All Noel said was "beautiful" but he held such warmth and feelings in saying a single word that it was too romantic.
While she was thinking that, a flower fell from the table as it was shoved by her hand. Mu Lan couldn't possibly use her power to take it in front of everyone. Thus, she bent down to take it.
At that moment, someone entered the store. That person made sounds of hills while walking. That person stopped in front of Jing Sheng and asked, "Is my order ready? I have come to take it." The speaker's tone was a bit impolite.
Hearing the voice, Mu Lan's hand froze in the midair, she didn't even touch the flower in the ground. Her pupils shrank. She talked to herself in her mind. 'Well, well, well, what do we have here…?'
She didn't stand up to see the unexpected client.
Jing Sheng wasn't bothered with the customer's attitude as if she was used to it. She smiled professionally and answered, "Yes, this is the bouquet that is prepared for you. Happy anniversary!"
The client checked out the bouquet on the table and commented, "Hmm, not bad. I've already paid two days ago. So, I will take the bouquet now."
Mu Lan's lips twitched. The bouquet Jing Sheng made was gorgeous and full of love. It was very beautiful. But the customer was too narrow minded.
Jing Sheng took care of the rest the client left the store.
"How rude!" Noel commented the moment the customer left.
Mu Lan took the flower the stood up. She agreed with Noel saying, "Indeed."
"This customer is different from others. But, this is the first time I had a Chinese customer though." Jing Sheng looked at the clock. "Oh my, It's half past twelve. We should head to the cafeteria. Xiao Lan let's go upstairs."
Mu Lan nodded. "Okay, let me take care of the flowers first."
Jing Sheng put another bouquet on the table. "Alright, I will order for you. What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever you eat." Mu Lan absentmindedly replied.
"Okay then." Jing Sheng left. She didn't notice Mu Lan's absent minded attitude.
Noel also put down the documents and followed her.
After the room was emptied, Mu Lan walked closer to the window and looked down. She saw the customer walking briskly and went inside the parked black car.
Mu Lan's eyes flashed and turned red. With a murderous intent she said playfully, "Good to see you again, cousin."
This was her only cousin who snatched away all her happiness. She was the one and only Hua Mei.
That day, Mu Lan didn't have the mood to obverse anything else. She was thinking about the reason why Hua Mei was in Italy. Though she realized that the third marriage anniversary was her cousin's but she couldn't remember anything about marriage. All she knew that the person her cousin married was her first love. When she tried to think about that, there was a sharp pain inside her head made her halt thinking of anything.
When Mu Liang entered the room, he found Mu Lan in deep sleep. He glanced at the clock and saw the it was only seven in the evening. He came earlier to find out why she said that he was going to have another father. However, seeing her in deep sleep, he had to postpone the idea.
The next day, when Mu Lan woke up, she found herself in a warm embrace. She smiled knowing who it was. She didn't' see him yesterday at all. They just sent texts to each other. But it wasn't enough since they were in their honeymoon phase right after they confessed to each other a year ago.
She rubbed her cheek on the warm, muscled chest.
Mu Liang woke up before her. He was enjoying being with her. Seeing her moving like a cat, he said, "Good morning."
"Good morning." She smiled at him.
He asked, "Did you have to good sleep?"
"I did." She asked him back, "What about you?"
"I had a hard time controlling myself from attacking you." He had to admit, last night right after he went to the bed, Mu Lan hugged him and kept rubbing her body against him. It turned him on so much that he had a hard time breathing. His tiredness flew away through the window.
