COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 4 - Season 7 Episode 51

“What did she say?” asked Xiang Wai curiously.

Mu Chenyan patted Yue Yue’s head like she was placating a child whose fur got ruffled and smiled at her niece saying, “Nothing important.” Of course, she wasn’t gonna tell her niece and nephew that she was still the youngest one. Yue Yue was indeed older than her by a year or two but she liked to completely forget that fact.

Besides, who asked her little friend to look so small and cuddly? It wasn’t her fault that she wasn’t able to see her as an older sister. Yue Yue will always be younger! Mu Chenyan wasn’t even up for a debate on this!

She carefully placed her best friend on the sofa and got up saying, “I’m gonna go and splash some water on my face. After that, we’ll go home because you both look quite sober now.”

Saying that Mu Chenyan made her towards the bathroom. She splashed cold water on her face and looked at her reflection in the mirror.

[Ah! She was as beautiful as ever!]

Blegh!

[What beautiful?! She is handsome! HANDSOME!]

She knocked herself on the head at that. How can she call herself beautiful? That wasn’t the right adjective for her! It never was and it never will be!

She flashed herself a smirk, “The great Mu Chenyan is and will always be handsome! I could even bend people in my youth. Who can question my handsomeness? No one!”

Okay, the alcohol really got to her head.

And no, by that it didn’t mean that alcohol was making her talk nonsense. It only meant that if she was sober, she’d have the same thoughts but she’d try to appear rather humble and modest about it. At least, she wouldn’t have acted like right now where she looked like a hooligan!

Putting her hands in her pockets, she whistled a tune as she stepped out of the ladies’ room but at the same time, the door of the men’s room also opened and the person who came out froze when his eyes laid on Mu Chenyan’s face.

Mu Chenyan was in her own world as she didn’t even notice anything or anyone around her.

“Mu Chenyan?”

She stopped in her track when she heard someone calling her name. She turned around to look at the man who called her with a confused look. If she was completely sober, she wouldn’t have to expend this much energy on thinking about who this person was.

But then again, it didn’t take her all that long right now either. She might be slightly slow but not to the point of having a memory loss.

“Gu Ye?” she called out with a smile on her face.

The man whom he called Gu Ye was stunned at his place even now. He thought he was mistaken but he was sure once she turned around and looked at him with those unusually limpid eyes of hers. Eyes that always sucked his soul away.

He didn’t reply immediately and Mu Chenyan didn’t seem impatient either. She was still smiling in her ruffian style, not caring about anything. She looked exactly the same as she was in his memory. That careless attitude, that frivolous style, and even that face were exactly the same. All the same!

“It’s really you,” he breathed out.

Mu Chenyan chuckled at that, “Why? Did you think it was a ghost? I’m real! Very real!”

“I can tell,” he replied. Once he heard that tone of voice, he was even more certain it was her. Who else would talk like that? “You didn’t age at all.” That was the only thought in his mind right now when he looked at her. She really aged like fine wine. It was unbelievable. He felt like he was brought back to his youth.

She’d always look at him in the same way and smile just like that. Even if she was mad at him, she’d just smile like that. That was one of the reasons why he hated and equally loved that smile on her face. It instilled fear in him and made him want to lose himself to her as well.

On the other hand, Mu Chenyan was also looking at him carefully. She could tell he changed. Now, he was dressed in a proper suit but his tie was missing right now. His hair wasn’t as casually styled as it used to be in their youth. He looked like an elite and someone of high status.

But that was to be expected. He was an intelligent person. How could he stay normal? He was bound to rise above the masses.

However, her nasty mouth couldn’t help but say, “But you look old.”

Gu Ye’s lips twitched when he heard that from her. He didn’t know why he was expecting a good reunion? Was she even capable of saying anything nice with that nasty personality of hers? Okay, maybe most of her nasty personality was a front but that dirty mouth was real. As real as it can be!

In the end, he couldn’t bring himself to be mad at her. He only smiled at her helplessly, “Well, not everyone can be like Boss Mu!”

Mu Chenyan guffawed. It was such a long time since someone called her ‘Boss Mu’. Oh boy! That sounded so good and it brought back so many memories that she felt strange.

“That’s true,” she didn’t shy away from that compliment. “I was always awesome. I still am and I always will be! I have it no other way.”

She didn’t care how she seemed right now. She was still treating Gu Ye as someone close to her. At least, he was once upon a time. No matter how distant they seemed right now. She didn’t know how else to treat him right now. There were decades between them. And those decades were hard to overcome all too sudden.

“I see you’re still very full of yourself,” commented Gu Ye.

“It wouldn’t be me if I acted in any other way,” was her response.
