Chapter 424 Treating You to Dinner
After hanging up the phone with Song Yin, Mu Xiaoyu's heart did not feel lighter. Instead, it felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She instinctively covered her chest and took a deep breath.
At the same time, the words Song Yin had just said to her came to mind: she hoped that she could live for herself.
The moment I heard those words, I almost couldn't hold back my tears.
She thought that she still wouldn't be able to live for herself for most of the rest of her life.
Because she has experienced the beauty of this world and has people who love her, she can no longer live just for herself.
After her call with Song Yin, Mu Xiaoyu gained a lot. She sat alone on the sofa for a long time, and finally figured out what she should do next.
Before doing what I need to do next, the first thing I need to do is to take care of my mental health so that I have enough energy to do what I need to do.
With no outsiders in the villa, Mu Xiaoyu had no worries and lay down on the sofa, falling asleep in no time.
When I woke up again, I was awakened by the doorbell ringing.
She had slept for too long, and her head was still a little groggy. When she looked at the large clock in the living room, she realized it was already noon.
Mu Xiaoyu rubbed her eyes and slowly walked to the front door. She saw a person dressed like a food delivery worker standing outside. Mu Xiaoyu didn't open the door immediately. Through the door, she looked at the person with suspicion: "Who are you?"
"Is this Miss Mu Xiaoyu? I'm Sheng Linxuan's delivery person. Mr. Bai Ye ordered takeout for you. Please sign for it."
The residential complex where Mu Xiaoyu and her friends lived had a strict entry and exit registration system for anyone who wasn't a resident, ensuring a high level of security. Furthermore, the delivery person showed Mu Xiaoyu his work ID and national ID card, so Mu Xiaoyu finally opened the door and let the delivery in.
Bai Ye ordered a very generous takeout for Mu Xiaoyu. Of course, even the worst food at a place like Shenglinxuan is a thousand times better than that of an ordinary small restaurant.
Since it was a free, plentiful lunch, and Mu Xiaoyu was also hungry, she didn't refuse the takeout Bai Ye had brought her and ate it with peace of mind.
Of course, she wasn't worried about anything wrong with the takeout; Bai Ye wouldn't be foolish enough to make a move against her at this time.
It has to be said that Sheng Linxuan's food is indeed delicious. In the past, Mu Xiaoyu would control her weight and restrain herself no matter what she ate. But today, she ate almost all of the takeout that Bai Ye ordered for her.
Just as we finished eating, Bai Ye called, almost at the perfect moment.
Having eaten and drunk her fill, Mu Xiaoyu was in a much better mood than before, and even her tone towards Bai Ye softened.
"Miss Mu, how was your meal? Did you enjoy the food at lunch?"
"Oh, it was Mr. Bai who ordered it. It's delicious, thank you."
Mu Xiaoyu feigned surprise, and Bai Ye on the other end of the phone let out a very faint laugh. His voice was so soft that it would go unnoticed if one didn't listen carefully, but Mu Xiaoyu still caught it.
"Since Mr. Bai has put in so much effort, let's have dinner together tonight. Sheng Linxuan's food isn't cheap, and I don't like owing people anything."
Mu Xiaoyu spoke very naturally. She couldn't figure out what Bai Ye was planning, but whatever Bai Ye wanted to do, she had already decided what she would do next.
First, we should start with Bai Ye.
Mu Xiaoyu's words were indeed in line with her personality. Although he didn't want Mu Xiaoyu to sever ties with him, this was also a good opportunity for Mu Xiaoyu to meet him, so Bai Ye agreed without hesitation.
The two agreed to meet at a Michelin-starred restaurant in the city center at 6:30 p.m. Actually, Mu Xiaoyu didn't like eating at those kinds of places at all. Although they were all top chefs, Mu Xiaoyu didn't like the taste. She only liked food that looked ordinary but tasted excellent.
However, since Bai Ye had ordered such an expensive meal at Shenglinxuan for her, she naturally had to find a place of similar price to repay Bai Ye for the meal she owed him, preferably something even more expensive, so that the two of them would have a reason to meet.
Before going out, Mu Xiaoyu dressed up carefully. She wore a white inner tulle dress and a simple yet extremely elegant retro black coat, paired with apricot-colored high heels. Her makeup was also retro, giving her a retro vibe that she didn't usually have. It was fresh and extremely beautiful.
She stood in front of the full-length mirror, looking at her outfit with satisfaction, and only went out after confirming that there were no problems.
Mu Xiaoyu had the intention of deliberately seducing Bai Ye, so she arrived half an hour later than the time they had agreed upon. After getting out of the car, she quickened her pace and ran towards the Michelin restaurant. When she saw Bai Ye standing at the door, she quickly put on an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there was some traffic on the way here. You haven't been here long, have you?"
Bai Ye looked at Mu Xiaoyu's outfit today, a hint of barely perceptible amazement flashing in his eyes. As a man, he naturally had to arrive earlier than the agreed time. In fact, Bai Ye had been waiting here for almost an hour, but seeing Mu Xiaoyu's anxious appearance, Bai Ye naturally couldn't say that. He simply said, "Not long, I just arrived a little while ago."
"That's good. But why don't you go in? You can wait for me inside as well."
This time, Bai Ye didn't speak immediately. He stared intently at Mu Xiaoyu with his deep eyes for a few seconds before saying, "I want to wait for you to go in together."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu glanced at Bai Ye with a complicated expression, but ultimately said nothing and went inside.
The two had made a reservation in advance, and upon entering, they were directly led to their reserved table by the waiter.
"It's my treat tonight, Mr. Bai. Please see what you'd like to eat. Some dishes at this restaurant are limited and need to be reserved in advance, so I've already ordered some when I made the reservation today."
Bai Ye gave a soft "hmm," but didn't look at the menu. Instead, he looked at Mu Xiaoyu and said, "Miss Mu knows that I'm a soldier, and I'm used to being casual about food, so I can eat whatever I want. Since Miss Mu is treating, then Mu Xiaoyu can order."
Bai Ye was behaving very politely in front of Mu Xiaoyu at this moment, and coupled with his previous flirtatious words, Mu Xiaoyu simply did not believe that Bai Ye had never been with a woman before.
