The place where Mu Xi went for the appointment was in the city, not far from the restaurant where they lived.
When she arrived, Zhuo Wenyue was already there.
When he saw Mu Xi coming alone, Zhuo Wenyue breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that Lou Jingxiao would come too. That person, no matter who he was in front of, felt his momentum was suppressed. In front of that person, he was no longer as confident as before.
"Miss Ye." Seeing Ye Muxi approaching, Zhuo Wenyue showed a smile on his face and greeted her with a smile. He tried his best to look more personable.
Mu Xi walked into the pavilion and saw Zhuo Wenyue alone. A light flashed quickly in his beautiful eyes, and then he walked in as if nothing had happened.
"I thought I would see the person I wanted to see." She said expressionlessly.
Zhuo Wenyue smiled: "The person Miss Ye wants to meet will naturally meet him when the time is right. Zhuo is very happy that Miss Ye is willing to come to the appointment."
Mu Xi raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "You should know better what I am doing here."
Zhuo Wenyue said with a smile: "Of course Zhuo knows, but there is no rush. Zhuo has prepared some wine and delicacies. Miss Ye is a newbie here and she should not be familiar with our northern region. Give Zhuo a chance to serve Miss Ye well." This is the introduction, Miss Ye, please take a seat."
Food and wine were indeed prepared on the jade table in the pavilion.
The weather in the northern region is very cold. What's strange is that when these drinks are placed on the white jade table, they don't freeze immediately, and even vaguely emit heat.
Mu Xi put her hand on the white jade table. The white jade table also felt warm. It was very hot, but not hot.
Seeing that Mu Xi's attention was on the white jade table, Zhuo Wenyue smiled and said, "Does Miss Ye like this table?"
Mu Xi said calmly: "Wannian Wenyu?"
Zhuo Wenyue's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Miss Ye really has good taste. This is indeed made of ten thousand-year warm jade. There is not much in our northern region, but there are many jade veins. This ten thousand-year warm jade is The ones produced in our northern region are pretty good, right?”
It's really good, Mu Xi thought to himself: next time I kill Zhuo Wenyue, I'll grab this table again.
Well, just put it in Mo Yan's princess room and use it as a bed for Mo Yan. It must be very comfortable to sleep on.
Yes, when Mo Yan was in the underground palace, he slept in the princess room most of the time.
The clothes I wear are also skirts...
There is no way. Brother Jingxiao got a lot of little girls' skirts, and his uncle also got a lot of little skirts here, which can be worn by children almost until they are twenty years old.
And this princess room has already been built, so it can’t be demolished directly, right
So he could only let Mo Yan sleep.
Anyway, the child is still young now, no one can see what he wears, and no one will hold him accountable for where he sleeps...
"Well, that's good." Mu Xi's thoughts had already turned over and over again, but when he came to speak, there were only a few simple words, cold and indifferent.
"I wonder if Miss Ye is interested in staying in our northern region? If Miss Ye is willing to stay, Zhuo will make the decision and give Miss Ye a jade vein in our northern region."
Hearing this, Mu Xi paused his hands slightly, raised his head and looked at Zhuo Wenyue.
Zhuo Wenyue continued to smile and said: "Of course, Zhuo knows that Miss Ye is not a person who is short of money, so naturally he will not care about this mere small mine. It is just politeness and affection. This is also a bit of friendship for Miss Ye. What do you think? right?"
Mu Xi looked at Zhuo Wenyue expressionlessly.
Zhuo Wenyue smiled and let her look at him.
There was no expression on Mu Xi's delicate and pretty face, and her voice was quite cold.
"I don't like beating around the bush." Mu Xi said, "Are you trying to recruit me?"
Zhuo Wenyue smiled: "Zhuo has heard of Miss Ye for a long time. As early as more than ten years ago, he accidentally saw the statue of Miss Ye in Yancheng. He also heard from the people of Yancheng that Miss Ye is a fairy as beautiful as a fairy. , Zhuo already had an admiration for Miss Ye at that time, and now he sees Miss Ye in the north and recruits Miss Ye to stay in the north, isn't it normal? "
"Oh." Mu Xi responded: "I thought this was a task given to you by the mysterious person behind your scenes."
Zhuo Wenyue was suddenly shocked.
He never thought that Ye Muxi would know the existence of the person behind him.
His eyes flickered quickly, and returned to normal in just a moment.
This strange emotion only appeared on his face for a moment, and anyone who didn't look carefully wouldn't be able to spot it.
However, Mu Xi, who had been staring at him, caught it.
Zhuo Wenyue pretended to be puzzled and asked: "What mysterious person?"
Mu Xi's face was paralyzed: "It's nothing."
Zhuo Wenyue smiled: "It seems that Miss Ye doesn't believe my feelings for Miss Ye. Everything Zhuo said was from the bottom of his heart."
Mu Xi tapped her slender fingers on the table without answering, her beautiful eyes looking somewhat meaningful.
Zhuo Wenyue was not in a hurry and sat directly opposite her: "Hey, look at me. I was so busy talking that I forgot about it. Come on, Miss Ye, try it quickly. This is pangolin meat that is only found in our north. The meat is very good." It’s so delicious. If you leave the north, you really won’t be able to eat animal meat with such delicious meat.”
Mu Xi did not move, her long fingers still tapping on the table.
"And this wine." Zhuo Wenyue poured Mu Xi a glass of wine and said, "This wine is snow water taken from the Flame Mountain. Everyone thought that there could be no snow on the Flame Mountain. After all, the temperature of the Flame Mountain is so high." Isn't it high? It's not an easy task to take the snow water from the Flame Mountain to make wine. Miss Ye, let's try it."
Mu Xi still didn't move, sitting there comfortably without moving his chopsticks or drinking any wine.
Zhuo Wenyue waited for a while, but did not see Ye Muxi move. He smiled, with a strange meaning in his smile: "What? Miss Ye is worried that Zhuo has poisoned the drink?"
Mu Xi spoke calmly, her voice as cold and indifferent as ever: "I told you, I don't like beating around the bush."
Zhuo Wenyue put down his wine glass and looked back at her.
Mu Xi said expressionlessly: "I've told you enough nonsense just now. You know what I'm here for, and I know your purpose, so there's no need to waste your time testing it."
Zhuo Wenyue said: "Of course I know why Miss Ye is here, but I really want to make friends with Miss Ye. Can Miss Ye let go of her wariness against Zhuo?"
Mu Xi said expressionlessly: "Since you want to make friends, you have to show some sincerity."
Zhuo Wenyue asked back: "Zhuo is willing to give Miss Ye a vein of minerals. Isn't this sincerity enough?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xi, who had already lost his patience, slapped his hand on the white jade table and said coldly: "Master Zhuo, do you think I, Ye Muxi, am a fool?"
