The drunken girl Mu Jiuyue became bolder. She raised her head and directly refused, “I won’t.”

She was still holding the pillar like a sloth, afraid of being taken away by Su Feng’ao.

Su Feng’ao looked at her for a few seconds, which gave Mu Jiuyue a sense of nervousness. However, she just wouldn’t loosen her grip.

“Okay, you can stay here alone.” Su Feng’ao turned around and was about to leave, but behind him immediately came the sound of wailing, “Uncle Su, you even want to leave me behind. You’re so cruel.”

People came and went in front of the bar door. When they passed by, they all looked at the two. Su Feng’ao didn’t stop, but the cries behind him got louder and louder, “You exploit me every day, scold me, beat me, and force me to run. These days are really hard to me. I want to go home, I don’t want to pay my debt!”

Mu Jiuyue looked exactly like an unscrupulous girl who was dumped, and had been maltreated by a vicious uncle. The passers-by looked at Su Feng’ao with condemnation.

Su Feng’ao stopped, took a deep breath, turned around and returned to her. Mu Jiuyue shut up and looked at Su Feng’ao with grievance.

“What the hell are you trying to do?” Su Feng’ao’s patience was quickly fading away.

“Hug me.” Mu Jiuyue sat down on the ground, spreading her arms wide, and said in a coquettish voice.

However, Su Feng’ao did not reach out his hand but instead looked at her coldly, “Get up and go by yourself.”

Mu Jiuyue showed a more aggrieved look, withdrew her hands and turned her back to Su Feng’ao.

“Sir? Miss? Can I help you?” The bar guard felt something wrong and walked over, looking at Su Feng’ao warily.

Su Feng’ao coldly glanced at him, and the guard gave a shiver and fell silent.

Su Feng’ao looked at Mu Jiuyue, who had her back to him angrily. His eyes showed some complicated emotion. He paused for seconds. Then, without speaking, he directly went up, carried her on his shoulders and walked towards the car.

“I want a hug!”

“Uncle Su, your hard back hurts my belly!”

....

Su’s House.

On the way back home, Mu Jiuyue was noisy and restless. She asked to get off the car sometimes and then accused him next second. Su Feng’ao, who was driving in front, managed to restrain the urge to throw her out of the car.

They were almost home when she fell asleep exhaustedly.

Su Feng’ao parked the car and looked behind. Mu Jiuyue was lying without any trace of elegance in the back seat, in a sound sleep.

He took her directly to her room. When leaving, he looked at her sleeping face, paused, and pinched her puppy face, gnashing his teeth, “I’ll come for you tomorrow.”

Sensing the discomfort on her face, Mu Jiuyue reached out and slapped. But Su Feng’ao withdrew his hand so quickly that she directly slapped on her own face. Then she frowned, rolled over and continued to sleep.

The slightly cooler night was cosy with moonlight filtering through the window onto the cot in the room.

Early the next morning.

Mu Jiuyue woke up with a torturing headache. She covered her head with her hands and looked at the familiar surroundings. She gradually remembered what happened...

Thinking about herself yesterday and what she did to Su Feng’ao... She wouldn’t admit what had happened. No, that wasn’t her, definitely not her.

Mu Jiuyue sank into the bed, buried her face in the quilt and wailed, “It’s over!”

She finished washing up and sneaked to the door of the room with her own little bag, looking around.

“What are you looking for?”

“For Uncle Su.”

Mu Jiuyue answered causally, and then realized that the voice was very familiar. Looking over, she found that it was Su Feng’ao. In an instant, she stood up straight.

Seeing it, he smiled grimly, “What do you want from me? Want a hug?”

“No, no, no.” Mu Jiuyue waved her hands over her chest fast, indicating that she had absolutely no such idea.

Oh, god. She shouldn’t ever drink so much again!

Su Feng’ao glanced at her and went downstairs, and Mu Jiuyue followed him to the restaurant.

“Uncle Su...” Mu Jiuyue asked cautiously, standing by him.

Su Feng’ao raised his eyebrows and didn’t answer.

“Well... Thank you for bringing me back yesterday. And... As to the rest, can you just pretend it never happened? I was too drunk to behave well.”

‘Don’t settle the score afterwards!’

“Didn’t you say that I exploit you every day, scold you, beat you, and force you to run? Go on, what else do you want to say?” Su Feng’ao took a sip of coffee and said emotionlessly.

Her face froze. How could she have spoken out this fact?

Having paused for seconds, Mu Jiuyue smiled bitterly, “I know Uncle Su is doing this for my sake! I can’t talk with you now. I haven’t run laps today!”

Mu Jiuyue raised her voice to show her determination, and ran immediately.

Su Feng’ao raised his eyes and looked at Mu Jiuyue’s back, showing a smile.

....

Today, a romantic atmosphere permeated the entire company. Walking on the street, one could see couples or lovers holding hands and waists, with a large bouquet of roses in their hands. Their faces were full of happiness.

“Jiuyue! Have you heard that tonight our company is going to hold a party for the Valentine’s Day!”

She always had little interest in that, thus saying unconcernedly, “I know it.”

“Then do you know that this is actually a variant of a sorority?” Feifei mysteriously leaned closer to Mu Jiuyue’s ear and whispered.

She laughed, “So eager to marry yourself off?”

“It’s the couples with roses in their hands that make me jealous.” Feifei smiled.

“I don’t have roses either.” As soon as Mu Jiuyue said this, she heard someone call her name.

They looked over there, and a courier with a large bouquet of roses in his hand looked around and shouted, “Mu Jiuyue”.  

At once, the eyes of the entire office fell on Mu Jiuyue.

“Thanks.” Mu Jiuyue was holding a large bouquet of roses and even her face was covered by flowers.

“Ninety-nine roses! Jiuyue! Who is it?” Feifei yelled, and some curious people looked over.

She took the card, and after seeing the words on it, she smiled playfully and waved it to Feifei, “A secret lover of me. I won’t tell you.”

Mu Jiuyue had never thought that Qiao You would send her flowers, while she felt much flattered anyway.

“Qiao You.” She dialed the number.

“Did you get the flowers? Like them?” Qiao You smiled and asked on the phone. 

“Um, I like them very much!” Mu Jiuyue fiddled with the roses on top, a bright smile lighting up her face.

Qiao You stood in front of the French window with one hand in his pocket and gently smiled, “Let’s have dinner tonight?”

“I can’t. There’s a party in the evening in the company and everyone has to attend it.” She was so focused on the flowers that she didn’t notice the disappointment in Qiao You’s voice.

“Okay, have fun then.”

She was refreshed in the morning, and her steps were very light when she went to the President’s Office to hand in documents.

“Uncle Su, why are you so stingy? The company doesn’t even send roses for the holidays, but I’m glad Qiao You gave me 99 roses.” Mu Jiuyue sat in front of the table and looked at Su Feng’ao with a smile, one hand propping up her chin.

Su Feng’ao paused and raised his brows, “Oh, really?”

“Of course, just think about this: there are still so many single girls in Su Group, how can you, as the boss, not be considerate to your subordinates on such a special day?”

Mu Jiuyue continued complacently, “Not everyone who is single like me still gets roses.”

“Happy?” Su Feng’ao asked.

“Sort of. Not bad.” However, the bright smile on her face was so obvious.

“In that case, why don’t you go to the florist in the afternoon and order a bouquet of flowers for every girl in the company?” Su Feng’ao curled his lips as if to thank her for the reminder.

Upon hearing this, Mu Jiuyue goggled and raised her voice, “I’m from the Marketing Department!”

Su Feng’ao leaned back in his chair, his eyes squinted slightly, “So what?”

His words sounded somewhat provocative.

“Of course, I will!” Mu Jiuyue immediately showed her consent as she noticed his tone.

She always got herself into trouble!

Mu Jiuyue took the paper and turned around ready to leave, when a voice sounded from behind.

“By the way, since you already have flowers, you are not counted as the one who should have flowers from our company.”

She didn’t have her share even though she ran the errand?

She turned back in an attempt to argue with Su Feng’ao, only to catch sight of his cold smile.

Mu Jiuyue gave a shiver and quickly turned around, leaving instantly.

After she left, Su Feng’ao dialed the number of his secretary, “Tell the Planning Department that they needn’t prepare any roses this year, someone will handle them.”

...

Every year on the afternoon of the Valentine’s Day, the company would have a day off.

Mu Jiuyue turned down the colleagues who wanted to go to the mall with her. She called Xu Yun’nuan, and soon the latter drove over to pick her up.

“Miss Xu will pay the bill today?” Mu Jiuyue sat down in the passenger seat, raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile.

“No problem!” Xu Yun’nuan agreed, and they smiled brightly.

Shopping took a long time, and after walking around, one could just find a few favorable pieces of clothing.

Xu Yun’nuan was picking out a dress for Mu Jiuyue outside the fitting room, when Mu Jiuyue walked out with that dress. She looked stunningly beautiful.

Mu Jiuyue wore a black and white patchwork dress with a tightened ribbon at the waist. Her skin was snow-white. She was totally different from before.

“Jiuyue, you’ve lost weight?” Xu Yun’nuan took great strides and reached over to embrace Mu Jiuyue’s waist, her tone full of amazement.

Mu Jiuyue felt a little nervous. She had never tried a gown that highlighted her waist like this, thus feeling uncomfortable.

“Doesn’t it look good on me?” She asked in a low voice.

“See it by yourself. It’s terrific, surely!” Xu Yun’nuan pulled Mu Jiuyue to the fitting mirror. Mu Jiuyue looked at herself in the mirror and was in surprise.

Xu Yun’nuan was still talking to Mu Jiuyue all the time, “Jiuyue, why do I feel like you’ve changed a lot this time?”

Xu Yun’nuan stroked her chin and looked Mu Jiuyue up and down.

Mu Jiuyue was puzzled and asked with a smile, “'What has changed? Am I thinner?”

“No, it’s not just that. I can’t tell. Oh! You need to try these two. You’ll look gorgeous in there dresses!”

Xu Yun’nuan looked at Mu Jiuyue’s back, feeling that it was not only her appearance that had changed, but also her character and temperament. For those who had not seen her for a long time, she had become quite a different person.
