CHAPTER 26: CHAPTER 26: A STRAIGHT MAN’S AESTHETIC

Mu Yan was taken aback and looked up to see a teenage girl standing at the door, holding a bag in her hand.

She stood up and asked, "Are you looking for Mu Yan?"

"Yes!" The girl nodded, "Sister, are you Mu Yan?"

"That’s right." Mu Yan walked out, "Is there something you need from me?"

The girl handed the bag to her, "A brother asked me to give this to you."

"For her?" Mu Yan took the bag and opened it; it was a shoebox, shoes?

She looked at the girl and asked, "Who is that brother?"

The girl smiled at her and said, "Goodbye, sister." Then she ran away.

"Hey, wait a minute." Mu Yan called out, but unfortunately, the girl had already run far away.

She looked at the shoebox in her hand, her face full of confusion.

The shop owner looked at her with a smirk, "Little girl, could it be a suitor of yours who sent it?"

Mu Yan gave a dry laugh; that possibility was very small.

First of all, she had been chased here, and no one knew she was here.

Secondly, she didn’t really have any suitors.

However, the person who sent her the shoes must have seen her barefoot, which meant he was nearby.

Also, he even knew her name, which implied he was an acquaintance. Who could it be?

She looked outside the door; on the road, a few cars passed by sparingly, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the street.

She glanced at the shoebox in her hand, thinking it was a good Samaritan’s help, then turned and went back into the shop.

She didn’t notice a black Maybach parked under the shade of a tree on the nearby street.

Lian Jun watched Mu Yan go inside, then turned his head to look at Jiang Jingheng in the back and said, "Young Master, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say."

"If you shouldn’t say it, then don’t." Jiang Jingheng glanced at him coldly.

Lian Jun, "..."

He cleared his throat, "Giving shoes, it’s certainly for the Young Madam’s benefit, but the implication of giving shoes is to send someone away. Are you sure you want to send the Young Madam away?"

Jiang Jingheng’s handsome face was instantly clouded with darkness, "You really shouldn’t speak."

Lian Jun, "..."

I knew that honest words were unpleasant to the ears.

If it weren’t for the fact that he hasn’t been in a relationship and doesn’t understand anything, he wouldn’t have wanted to speak up.

About fifteen minutes later, Mu Yan came out of the shop wearing the shoes and hailed a cab by the roadside.

Lian Jun saw her leave and was about to start the car when the person in the back suddenly spoke.

"Go buy me a bowl of wontons."

Lian Jun turned to look at Jiang Jingheng and hesitantly said, "Young Master, these street stalls aren’t sanitary."

Jiang Jingheng’s expression darkened slightly, "I told you to go, so go."

Lian Jun, "..."

Alright then, but the one who will have an upset stomach is you, not me.

He took his wallet and got out of the car, suddenly understanding the young master’s intent.

To understand someone, you start with their lifestyle and diet.

Well, the young master is certainly thorough; I hope his stomach won’t protest.

Back at Jinxiu Court, Mu Yan entered the house and found no one in the living room.

Yu Ma heard some noise and came out from the kitchen, saying to her, "Young Madam, you’re back."

Mu Yan nodded, "Yes, Yu Ma, is there any medicine in the house?"

Yu Ma looked slightly anxious at her words, "Are you feeling unwell? Should we contact a doctor?"

"It’s not that serious." Mu Yan smiled, "Just scraped my foot, wanted some antiseptic."

"I’ll get it for you right away." Yu Ma said, walking to the storage cabinet.

"Thank you." Mu Yan nodded and walked toward the sofa.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of a car engine from outside the door. She turned her head, and soon Jiang Jingheng came in.

She nodded slightly at him, "Young Master Jiang."

"Mm!" Jiang Jingheng gave a barely noticeable nod and walked straight upstairs. Suddenly his gaze fell on Mu Yan’s feet, "The shoes are quite nice."

Mu Yan was momentarily stunned, looking at the ordinary sneakers on her feet, puzzled. Where are these shoes nice?

Is this a straight man’s aesthetic?
