Chapter 41: How Well Do You Know Each Other? You’re Too Familiar!
But Chu Hanting himself didn’t know what attracted Su Mu to him.
Because others who claimed to like him only did so for his looks and money.
They said they liked him, but it wasn’t directed at him as a person.
As long as he wasn’t dead or disabled and remained the Chu Corporation’s CEO, those people would keep saying they liked him.
But Su Mu’s eyes always looked at him earnestly, not at some particular quality he possessed, but following him as a person with an exceptionally deep gaze.
Chu Hanting took Su Mu through the back door, since the front was usually crowded, and Yang, his assistant, typically waited for his boss at the back.
“Thump thump thump” – muffled sounds came through, and Su Mu unconsciously looked toward the source.
Chu Hanting suddenly stood in front of him, covering Su Mu’s eyes with his large palm.
He coaxed softly: “It’s messy, don’t look.”
Su Mu had just lifted his head, blinking.
His soft eyelashes brushed against Chu Hanting’s palm like a brush, somewhat ticklish and seemingly carrying a hint of warmth.
Chu Hanting suddenly felt his heart flutter, becoming uncomfortable.
He lowered his hand, revealing Su Mu’s blinking eyes, and instead half-embraced, half-pushed him toward the opposite direction of the car.
Su Mu obediently allowed Chu Hanting to guide him away in this manner.
Meanwhile, Shang Guan Fan, holding a crowbar, watched the two leave.
Tsk, bound to get a sty in his eye.
Then he continued directing people to beat up someone in a sack.
He himself leaned against a lamppost, taking out and lighting a cigarette.
Was Shang Guan Fan the type to let someone who insulted him and threatened revenge go free?
Smith had been made to pay compensation and sent away, but after turning a corner from the front door, he was knocked out, stuffed in a sack, and moved to the back door.
Though Su Mu’s eyes were covered by Chu Hanting, he could guess what was happening, though he didn’t know the person being beaten was Smith, who had just threatened to settle scores with them.
Seeing that scene, Shang Guan Fan’s violence rating in Su Mu’s mind increased another point. Mainly because of the foundation score from his past life when Shang Guan Fan wanted to dig up graves, even with the filter of being Chu Hanting’s friend, Su Mu’s impression of Shang Guan Fan still couldn’t escape the word “crazy.”
He couldn’t help but worry for Gao Yang.
In this life, he must absolutely not provoke this madman!
And the person Su Mu was worried about was currently sneaking out through the back door.
Gao Yang didn’t use the front door, afraid of running into that person again – he’d die of embarrassment on the spot.
So he specifically chose the barely-used back door to leave.
However…
As luck would have it, he felt like today he was fated to keep encountering this person.
It was as if an invisible thread had forcibly tied them together.
The more he tried to avoid him, the more heaven seemed to be playing tricks on him.
凸(艹皿艹 )
Shang Guan Fan was thinking the same thing.
Turning his head at the sound, he saw Gao Yang sneaking out through the door like a thief.
This guy again? How many times had they run into each other today?
And why did he always look so awkward?
Even Shang Guan Fan felt embarrassed for him.
He greeted him in a friendly manner.
Waving his hand holding the cigarette, “Hi~”
Gao Yang: ……
Hi my ass!!!
Were they that close?
Just saying hi like that!
He wanted to ignore it, but suddenly something flashed in his mind – he seemed to grasp something.
“Remember what I told you, stay away from Shang Guan Fan, this person is an absolute madman.”
“Don’t worry, Old Su! Your brother is smart, I won’t cause trouble.”
“Remember, Shang Guan Fan has medium-length brown hair, likes to wear flashy clothes. If you see someone like that in the bar, don’t get curious and approach them.”
Gao Yang recalled his conversation with Su Mu, and his body gave a start!
He unconsciously let his gaze sweep over the other man.
Brown hair, floral shirt…
Damn! Wasn’t this exactly the psycho killer Su Mu had warned him about???!!!
Only then did Gao Yang notice the rod in Shang Guan Fan’s hand, still dripping with blood.
Oh my god!
Had he just witnessed a murder scene? Was he going to be silenced next?!
At this thought, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Shang Guan Fan, his steps becoming frantic as he ran away like he was being chased by lions and tigers.
Shang Guan Fan, who had been smiling kindly while greeting him, was so surprised by this reaction that he dropped his cigarette.
He really wanted to ask, “Little brother, am I that scary?”
Then looking at the blood-stained rod still dripping blood, he threw it far away as if denying himself.
Meanwhile, Chu Hanting opened the car door for Su Mu, holding the frame to prevent him from bumping his head.
Only after Su Mu was seated did he go around to the other side and get in.
“What would you like to eat?”
“It’s up to me?”
“Mm, you choose the place.”
“Then I want to go…”
Twenty minutes later, Chu Hanting and Su Mu were sitting at a barbecue stand.
The all-powerful CEO Chu, who dealt with thousands of matters daily, had met his Waterloo again.
He shouldn’t have let Su Mu decide – what was he expecting from someone who first took him to eat at a cafeteria?
“What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?”
Su Mu noticed Chu Hanting’s discomfort.
Not wanting Su Mu to notice, Chu Hanting said against his true feelings: “No, it’s fine.”
He wasn’t looking down on it, it’s just that someone born at the top of the pyramid had never taken anyone to such a low-key place to eat.
However, soon his nose was filled with various barbecue aromas, stirring his appetite.
Actually, it wasn’t bad at all.
Compared to the steak and wine he’d grown tired of, these snacks seemed more tempting.
Su Mu used to often have late-night snacks with Gao Yang and others, trying everything from barbecue to river snail noodles to liangpi…
So this foodie among foodies ordered all the premium barbecue items.
Chu Hanting found Su Mu adorable as he rested his chin on one hand while pointing at items on the menu with the other.
Seeing him smile so happily, his eyes and mouth curved like crescent moons, he must be very pleased inside.
Su Mu was indeed excited inside – heaven knows how those twenty years of being paralyzed in his past life, surviving only on IV nutrition, had affected him!
As soon as they sat down, the barbecue aroma had awakened his appetite, and he couldn’t wait for that first bite!
With the person he liked sitting across from him, how could he not be happy?
“Mr. Chu, what would you like to eat?” Su Mu realized after ordering a bunch of food that he’d ordered too quickly, forgetting to ask what the man wanted.
Chu Hanting replied gently, “Anything is fine, this is my first time eating this kind of food, you order for me.”
“Can you eat spicy food?” As soon as the words left his mouth, Su Mu felt a dull pain in his heart.
