The CEO's Paranoid and Spoiled Wife-Chapter 839 - 836: Are You of Age?

Ji Muran wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin, smiling awkwardly. She looked at the man in front of her and said, "I thought you wouldn’t come."

Shen Wenzhou continued to look at her. Ji Muran thought there might still be cream or something else not wiped clean at the corner of her mouth. She looked at Shen Wenzhou while quickly picking up her phone to check.

After confirming that she had wiped her mouth clean, Ji Muran saw that the man was still staring at her. She thought he was shocked by the table full of desserts she had ordered.

"I just wanted to try the flavors of each one, so I ordered so many!" Ji Muran explained.

She couldn’t help it; she had never been to this restaurant before, and today she couldn’t resist ordering all the desserts to try the flavors.

This was also a professional habit of hers as someone who owned a dessert shop.

She just thought the other person wouldn’t come, but unexpectedly, he did!

After staring at her for a long time, Shen Wenzhou asked in a very doubtful tone, "Ji Muran?"

"Yes!" Ji Muran nodded vigorously.

Shen Wenzhou furrowed his brows tightly and asked doubtfully, "Are you an adult?"

"Huh?" Ji Muran was taken aback, then became a bit embarrassed, her little face turning red as if she had used too much blush.

"I am an adult! I’m already twenty-three!" Ji Muran explained hurriedly, despite her embarrassment.

Shen Wenzhou also thought his mother wouldn’t be so unreliable as to set him up with a minor; that would be illegal!

But looking at the girl sitting nervously in the chair across from him, she seemed more like a high school student.

Shen Wenzhou sat down across from her, and Ji Muran asked the waiter to quickly clear away the desserts she had already eaten from the table.

The waiter cleaned the table, leaving only two pieces that Ji Muran hadn’t had time to eat. Another waiter handed them the menu.

Shen Wenzhou ordered casually, and although Ji Muran wasn’t hungry, she ordered something too.

After the waiter left, Ji Muran smiled awkwardly, "I’m sorry, I thought you wouldn’t come, so I ate in advance."

Shen Wenzhou didn’t feel offended, just puzzled, "We agreed on this, why did you think I wouldn’t come?"

"Of course, because you don’t like me." Ji Muran answered without thinking.

Shen Wenzhou stayed silent. It wasn’t a matter of liking or disliking; he hadn’t even considered the idea of dating. However, since it was arranged, he would come.

"Aunt Ye must have forced you to come, right?" Ji Muran looked at the man sitting expressionlessly across from her.

"Are you very familiar with my mother?" Shen Wenzhou answered indirectly.

Ji Muran was taken aback and then explained, "I was in charge of the cake arrangement at my cousin and cousin-in-law’s wedding before."

"Cousin and cousin-in-law?" Shen Wenzhou was puzzled. His mother had only told him the name and nothing else. He hadn’t even investigated; before coming here, he didn’t even know what she looked like.

"My cousin is Ji Yanlin!" Ji Muran said.

After a few seconds of pause, Ji Muran continued, "Ji Yanlin is my cousin. I just happen to make desserts, so my aunt asked me to help with the wedding desserts. Aunt Ye and my aunt often communicated about the wedding, so we got to know each other well!"
