But so what
Shen Meiling knew very well that Mu Zhengbai's refusal was already obvious.
Just like the dinner she helped cook tonight, Mu Zhengbai didn't eat it. He said he was busy and went into the study. After a while, he asked the kitchen to make something else for him.
I heard from the servants that as long as Mu Xiaoxiao is at home, Mu Zhengbai will come back to have dinner with her even if he has a social event.
Shen Meiling is not stupid, she is even smart, especially in terms of emotional intelligence.
In fact, from the beginning, Mu Zhengbai never gave her any chance to be ambiguous.
During the time they knew each other, he took the initiative to ask her out once.
That time, he explained that he was asking her to do a favor and had no other intentions. He hoped that it would not cause her any misunderstanding.
He asked her to have dinner with him.
It was just two people sitting together, not even chatting.
She could tell he was feeling down.
It can also be guessed that he may be missing his deceased wife.
It has been four years since they both passed away, and yet they are still remembered and missed like this.
She thought that he must love his wife very much.
Such deep affection is an invisible charm for any woman.
Because this kind of affection is what all women long to have.
At that time, Shen Meiling was moved by his deep love for his wife, but she was uncontrollably attracted to him.
Even though she knew there was no hope for her, she still... wanted to get close to him and get even a little bit of his attention.
Therefore, she put more thought into using makeup to make herself more like his wife.
She didn't know whether she just wanted him to look at her more, or whether she wanted him to treat her as his wife's substitute.
In any case, her initial thought was just to make him happy.
Later, she ran into some trouble and he helped her.
In the name of gratitude, she shamelessly invited him to dinner several times. In the past, he would keep his distance, but this time he accepted the appointment, which made her ecstatic.
She thought that by doing this, he allowed the two of them the opportunity to develop.
But his attitude towards her was still as plain as water, just like an ordinary friend.
This time, he helped her again and took her in to live in his home.
After hearing what Shen Chuchu said, she was a little moved, thinking that since she liked it, she would go for it.
Because of the geometry of life, I can meet a man who makes my heart beat like this.
If you don't fight for it, you will regret it.
However, now faced with Mu Zhengbai's obvious refusal attitude.
Shen Meiling gradually woke up.
There is nothing wrong with liking someone, but if he has made his attitude clear and you are still messing around, it will look ugly.
She didn't want to lose this friend.
"Aunt?" A voice called Shen Meiling back to her senses.
Shen Meiling raised her head and looked at Shen Chuchu in front of her, her eyes waking up from their confusion.
She asked blankly, "What's wrong?"
Shen Chuchu said, "This is the right thing for me to ask you. Why are you in a daze? By the way, didn't you go find Uncle Mu? Why are you back so soon?"
Shen Meiling was a little embarrassed that her thoughts had been exposed, "How did you know that I went..."
When she left the room, Shen Chuchu happened to be taking a shower in the bathroom.
Shen Chuchu had a 'no guesswork' expression on his face and said with an ambiguous smile, "Of course I know! Tell me first, why are you back so soon? Why don't you stay with Uncle Mu for a little longer and communicate more?" Feelings."
Seeing that her aunt was so proactive, she felt relieved.
In her opinion, Mu Zhengbai's wife had been dead for so long, and sooner or later he would marry another woman.
