The CEO's Paranoid and Spoiled Wife-Chapter 844 - 841: I’m Sorry for Getting You Involved

"Mr. Shen, I just want to ask, what’s going on?" Ji Muran’s mind was filled with question marks.

Clearly, at the restaurant before, Mr. Shen had explicitly said he wasn’t interested in dating, and they hadn’t contacted each other since.

How did it suddenly turn into Mr. Shen thinking she was quite nice now?

After listening, Shen Wenzhou pondered for a moment, "This is my fault. I apologize for causing you trouble, Miss Ji."

Yesterday, he truly couldn’t think of how to stop his mom from continuing to introduce him to matchmaking candidates, so he hastily chose that method.

He regretted it as soon as he said it, but there was no chance to take back his words.

"I also thought Mr. Shen might have some concerns, so I just wanted to ask about them." Ji Muran said, her tone indistinguishable between disappointment and relief.

"I’m sorry for involving you. Can I invite Miss Ji to dinner tonight?" Shen Wenzhou asked.

"Huh?" The topic shifted too quickly for Ji Muran to react. She felt her heartbeat skip a beat upon hearing the dinner invitation.

Shen Wenzhou explained, "There are some things I’d like to discuss with you, Miss Ji."

"Oh, okay, okay!" Ji Muran regained her composure and responded stutteringly.

"Let’s leave it at that for now. Once I’ve booked the restaurant, I’ll send you the address." Shen Wenzhou said.

Ji Muran agreed.

Then Shen Wenzhou hung up and messaged his assistant, asking for help in booking a restaurant.

Not long after, Shen Wenzhou sent the address over, and in the afternoon, he received some information about Ji Muran from his assistant.

Ji Muran didn’t originally have the surname Ji. Her mother was once adopted by the Ji Family, later married and had children, until her untimely death.

After Ji Muran’s mother passed away, her father quickly remarried. With a stepmother came a stepfather, and Ji Muran was bullied frequently.

It wasn’t until Ji Muran almost died from illness at the age of ten that a relative at a Ji Family banquet mentioned it, and Ji Yanlin’s grandfather decided to bring her back and change her surname.

Although they weren’t related by blood, strictly speaking, Ji Yanlin was Ji Muran’s cousin.

The Ji Family didn’t give Ji Muran much, but at least they raised her.

...

PM.

Shen Wenzhou arrived at the restaurant punctually and spotted Ji Muran already seated at the table, eating dessert.

But this time, she hadn’t ordered a large tableful.

As he got closer and closer, Shen Wenzhou found Ji Muran’s serious dessert-eating demeanor amusing.

It wasn’t until he reached the table that Ji Muran noticed Shen Wenzhou. She looked up at him, smiled, and said, "Mr. Shen is here."

At this moment, Ji Muran no longer had the nervousness from their first encounter, probably because Shen Wenzhou had left a very good impression last time.

Shen Wenzhou was momentarily stunned as he looked into Ji Muran’s eyes. Quickly recovering, he sat down opposite her.

"Mr. Shen, what would you like to discuss with me?" Ji Muran asked.

Shen Wenzhou took the menu from the waiter beside them and handed it to Ji Muran first, "Let’s order the meal first."
