Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg
Chapter 1385: Engineering a Chance EncounterChapter 1385: Chapter 1385: Engineering a Chance Encounter
It’s all his fault, making her so exhausted that she didn’t even want to move. Who knows where Mu Qiancheng gets so much energy from every day, always wearing her out without feeling tired himself.
When they don’t see each other, she misses him terribly. But when they are together, she’s exhausted.
Mu Qiancheng has no idea about his young wife’s grievances. Right now, he wishes he could stay in bed all day, trying to make up for what he owes from before.
Moreover, thinking that Jiang Xue might have to go undercover, and to such a far-off place as M Country, he becomes even more uncontrollably needy.
After all, going to that place, who knows when she’ll come back, so he needs to collect some interest in advance.
The result of the indulgence is that Jiang Xue lay in bed the whole morning the next day and only got up when it was time for lunch.
When she got up, Mu Qiancheng wasn’t home. He had breakfast and went off to school. Jiang Xue made herself something simple to eat at home. In the afternoon, she went out to buy groceries, planning to cook something nice for dinner.
However, Jiang Xue never expected to run into Jin Hao and Ah Lin at the supermarket. Seeing the two suddenly appear in front of her, Jiang Xue was filled with alertness.
What Jin Hao didn’t know was that his eagerness only confirmed Jiang Xue’s suspicions of his ill intentions. So, when facing him, she merely gave a faint greeting, not intending to converse with him.
"Miss Jiang, wait a moment!" Seeing Jiang Xue ignoring him, Jin Hao felt quite frustrated. He called out to stop Jiang Xue, who was about to leave, intending to invite her to a teahouse or cafe for a sit-down.
"What’s the matter?" Jiang Xue looked at Jin Hao coldly. She couldn’t believe there were so many coincidences in the world. For Jin Hao to see her here, it must have been deliberate.
Otherwise, why would Jin Hao, who had been doing well in South City and had always wanted to collaborate with her company, suddenly show up in Beijing?
Clearly, he was targeting her. Although she had already decided to go undercover at MD Group, she couldn’t show it on the surface, lest Jin Hao figure it out and ruin the big plan.
So, she still needed to act as if she didn’t trust Jin Hao and desperately wanted to stay away from him.
"Miss Jiang, there’s a saying in China that meeting someone is destiny. I didn’t expect to run into you here. Since it’s destiny’s arrangement, I think we should celebrate it somehow."
"Mr. Jin, I appreciate your kindness, but I need to go home and make dinner. If my husband comes home hungry, I would feel very guilty."
"Miss Jiang, isn’t that a bit much? Even if you skip cooking one meal, your husband can eat out. Or you can call him, and I’ll treat you both to dinner. How about it?"
"I don’t think so. My husband doesn’t like eating out, so I’m sorry, I have to get going."
After saying this, Jiang Xue no longer paid any attention to Jin Hao and carried her purchased items towards the checkout counter. At the counter, she took out her wallet to pay, but a banknote was handed over the counter to the cashier.
"Let me pay!" Jin Hao glanced at the cashier and said with a smile. The cashier was dazzled by Jin Hao’s smile, gazing at him with infatuation.
Facing the cashier’s infatuated look, Jin Hao’s smile deepened, and then he lightly coughed. His cough brought the cashier back to her senses, and she reached out to take the money from Jin Hao’s hand.
At this moment, Jiang Xue acted, grabbing the cashier’s hand.
