CHAPTER 880: CHAPTER 877: SURPRISE?

Ji Muran’s actions clearly weren’t hiding a secret from others, but rather something she didn’t want him to know.

So, Ji Muran didn’t hide the item behind her back as soon as she heard the knock, but only did so instinctively when she saw who was at the door — him.

She has something secretive from me?

Shen Wenzhou looked at Ji Muran for a moment, without asking anything, and stepped into the lounge, "I brought you dinner."

Upon hearing this, Ji Muran couldn’t help but smile, then said a bit sheepishly, "You didn’t have to trouble yourself."

"I happened to be free, it’s no trouble at all." Shen Wenzhou placed the bag on the coffee table, and then sat down on the small sofa on the other side.

"Eat first before you get busy?" Shen Wenzhou looked at Ji Muran, inquiring about her opinion.

"Mm, mm." Ji Muran nodded repeatedly, she was indeed a bit busy, but since he was already here, how could she possibly make him wait?

Ji Muran couldn’t bring herself to do that.

As they ate, they chatted about some trivial matters, and by the time Shen Wenzhou left, it was already past eight in the evening.

Watching Shen Wenzhou’s departure, Ji Muran let out a long breath, reassuring herself that she hadn’t been found out.

Then Ji Muran returned to the coffee shop, continuing to busy herself with preparations for the next day.

...

The following day.

Although the New Year had passed, it was still only February, and A City remained cold, with snow falling last night.

Shen Wenzhou followed his usual routine to work, with everything proceeding at a steady pace. After lunch break, Shen Wenzhou headed to the conference room.

By the time the meeting ended, it was already past three, and as Shen Wenzhou exited the meeting room with his assistant briefing him on his upcoming schedule.

Just as they turned the corner from the meeting room, they heard some chatter from the office area.

Shen Wenzhou and his assistant instinctively looked over, and their eyes widened in surprise.

"Is that Miss Ji?" the assistant asked, uncertain.

Shen Wenzhou didn’t respond, but walked over, his pace slightly quicker than usual.

The assistant had met Miss Ji several times and had an impression of her, but seeing her appear here out of the blue, he naturally doubted his eyes. However, Shen Wenzhou’s reaction told him he wasn’t mistaken, it was indeed Miss Ji.

At that moment, as the employees distributing the afternoon tea saw someone approaching, they straightened up a bit and greeted respectfully, "President Shen."

They didn’t scatter in a panic because President Shen’s rule for them was to handle their work properly. As long as there were no work errors, he wouldn’t mind them relaxing a bit in the office area.

The person who had been helping to distribute the coffee and cake heard the employees’ voices and instinctively looked back. Upon seeing the man not far away, she broke into a beaming smile.

Right now, Ji Muran looked at Shen Wenzhou with a smile in her eyes, as if asking him, "Are you surprised?"

Shen Wenzhou stared steadily at the girl who shouldn’t have appeared here, and suddenly smiled faintly.

Aside from Shen Wenzhou’s chief assistant, none of the others had met Ji Muran before and naturally didn’t recognize her.
