CHAPTER 869: CHAPTER 866 NEW YEAR’S EVE

The next day.

Although Ji Muran was still very excited, she still rushed to the store early in the morning to help out.

After finishing the morning’s work, she didn’t have time for lunch, just ate two pieces of bread casually, and went to meet the agent.

It wasn’t until after three in the afternoon that Ji Muran hurried back home.

After getting home, Ji Muran washed her hair, took a bath, put on makeup, and selected new clothes, carefully grooming herself from head to toe.

It wasn’t until Shen Wenzhou came to pick her up that Ji Muran came out of the neighborhood.

From a distance, she saw a familiar car parked outside the neighborhood. Ji Muran ran over and opened the car door to sit inside.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Ji Muran said while exhaling a breath she couldn’t hold back.

Shen Wenzhou didn’t respond, but just looked Ji Muran up and down, frowning involuntarily, "Aren’t you cold?"

"Not cold!" Ji Muran shook her head and replied firmly.

Shen Wenzhou just looked at her, clearly not believing it. If she wasn’t cold, then why was she shivering just now?

However, he didn’t say anything more. With a mother and a younger sister at home, he naturally understood a girl’s love of beauty.

Today, there were more people outside than usual, even more than during Christmas, especially in the central area, where it was basically gridlocked.

Ji Muran checked the time and tentatively suggested, "It’s not too far to the mall from here, how about we walk over?"

Shen Wenzhou glanced at the road conditions outside. It was indeed completely jammed, with no clue why the traffic was so terrible ahead.

"Let’s go." Shen Wenzhou also felt that staying in the traffic wasn’t a good idea.

Seeing Shen Wenzhou agree to walk, Ji Muran reached out to open the car door, but just as she did, Shen Wenzhou’s voice came, "Wait."

Ji Muran turned to look, only to see Shen Wenzhou taking out a scarf from beside him. She recognized it as the one she had made for him.

"It’s cold outside, put the scarf on." Shen Wenzhou said as he moved closer to her and lifted his hand to put the scarf on her.

Shen Wenzhou was wearing the scarf she had given him!

Thinking this, Ji Muran felt a small burst of joy, but quickly realized that it was his own scarf and he had put it on her because he was worried she was cold.

Ji Muran stubbornly said, "Actually, I’m fine."

Although she prioritized style over warmth, she did feel okay at the time, mainly because she thought it would only be indoors where it wouldn’t be cold.

Shen Wenzhou still didn’t say anything, he carefully adjusted the scarf for her and then said, "Let’s go."

Since the scarf was already on, Ji Muran didn’t act coy anymore. She seemed to look outside at the traffic, confirming it was gridlocked, and then opened the car door to get out.

As soon as she got out, Ji Muran felt a chill, but she resisted the urge to show it. She waited for Shen Wenzhou to get out too, and then the two of them walked toward the sidewalk.

Whenever it was a holiday or an anniversary, not only were there more cars on the road, but there were also a lot more people.

As Shen Wenzhou and Ji Muran talked while moving through the crowd, they were gradually forced to have some distance between them due to the throng of people.
