22 – First Date
Things couples must do…
First date…
Hearing Fu Yifei say this, Rabbit’s eyes instantly lit up.
This was her first date with her husband since finding him in this lifetime!
Mu Mian immediately excitedly ran back to her room, opened the wardrobe, and began selecting what to wear tomorrow for the concert with her husband.
Seeing Mu Mian open the wardrobe as soon as she returned to the room, Xiao Qiu flew over and asked curiously, “Master, what are you doing?”
In an excited tone, Mu Mian said, “Tomorrow I’m going to a concert with my husband! It’s my first date with him! Rabbit needs to dress beautifully!”
Xiao Qiu couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What’s a concert?”
“I don’t know either…” But that wasn’t important! What mattered was that this was her first date with her husband!
Mu Mian took out several pieces of clothing from the wardrobe, “Xiao Qiu, which looks better on me, this one or this one?”
Xiao Qiu flew onto the bed and began helping Mu Mian choose.
“Neither seems quite suitable for you, Master.”
Mu Mian threw the clothes onto the bed and pulled out several more from the wardrobe.
“Xiao Qiu… huh, where’s Xiao Qiu?” Not seeing Xiao Qiu around, Mu Mian asked curiously.
Oh well, probably went back to its nest to sleep.
Mu Mian glanced at the clothes in her hands, felt they weren’t quite right either, and threw them onto the bed too.
Xiao Qiu struggled to climb out from under the pile of clothes, barely getting its head out before being covered by several more pieces of clothing.
Xiao Qiu: “…” A bird’s life isn’t easy…
Mu Mian found a pink puff-sleeved dress with a lace peter pan collar from the wardrobe, looking like a little princess, and her eyes instantly lit up.
This was totally Rabbit’s style!
After changing into the dress, Mu Mian looked at her doll-like reflection in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
Turning around, she discovered Xiao Qiu struggling to climb out from the mountain of clothes, “Oh, so you were here, Xiao Qiu.”
Xiao Qiu: “…” It felt like it could write a book titled “Me and My Ridiculous Master.”
Fu Yifei was rehearsing for the concert and stayed at a hotel near the venue overnight, so he didn’t return home.
The next day after breakfast, Fu Chenxiu prepared to go to the company as usual.
As he reached the entrance, Mu Mian immediately ran after him.
“Husband, we’re going to Yi Fei’s concert today, don’t forget!”
Meeting the girl’s bright, expectant eyes, Fu Chenxiu responded, “Mm.”
——At Fu Corporation, Shi Hai entered the office.
“Sir, the meeting with President Liu originally scheduled for tomorrow – due to circumstances on their end, they’re asking if we can move it up to one hour from now.”
Fu Chenxiu glanced at the time shown on his wristwatch; it was almost four o’clock.
Remembering that Fu Yifei said today’s concert would start at 7:30 PM, he figured there should be enough time.
“Agreed.”
Shi Hai couldn’t help asking, “But that way… we won’t be able to get home by 6 o’clock.”
Ever since the madam arrived and the sir promised to return home by six, they had been leaving the company around 5:30 and arriving home around six.
Having worked with Fu Chenxiu for so many years, Shi Hai had rarely been able to leave work so punctually, and he was almost getting used to it.
“No need to return by six today.”
“Then I’ll notify them right away.”
Meanwhile, thinking about her first date with her husband, Rabbit was beyond excited and had dressed herself up early.It was almost seven o’clock, and Fu Yifei had arranged for a driver to pick up Mu Mian in advance to take her to the concert venue.
As the most popular male idol at the moment, Fu Yifei’s first concert naturally generated high excitement, with tickets being extremely hard to come by.
The entrance to the concert was also packed with a sea of people.
Everyone had already started queuing up to check tickets and enter the venue.
Fu Yifei had arranged for staff to escort Mu Mian directly to the VIP seating area.
“Miss, would you like me to take you inside now?”
Mu Mian shook her head: “I want to wait for my husband to arrive before going in together!”
So Mu Mian waited near the ticket checkpoint for Fu Chenxiu to appear.
Time passed minute by minute, and as the concert approached, the crowd outside the venue grew thinner and thinner.
The staff came out again to find Mu Mian: “Miss, the concert is about to start. Would you like to go in now?”
Mu Mian glanced at the time; it was only five minutes until 7:30.
Why hasn’t her husband arrived yet?
Mu Mian shook her head firmly: “I want to wait for my husband to come before going in together.”
The staff’s instructions were only to escort Mu Mian to the VIP seating area, but since she refused to enter now, there was nothing they could do.
Mu Mian continued waiting at the concert entrance, and five minutes quickly passed.
The concert had already started. The once bustling area outside the venue was now empty except for Mu Mian standing alone at the ticket checkpoint, while music and the cheers of fans could be heard from inside the stadium.
Mu Mian took out her phone and checked the time—it was already 7:30. Why hadn’t her husband arrived yet?
Could something have happened to him?
Thinking this, Mu Mian quickly took out her phone and dialed Fu Chenxiu’s number, but all she heard was the automated message: “The number you have dialed is powered off.”
Meanwhile, after the meeting concluded, the two parties shook hands, and Manager Liu politely said, “It’s already 7:30. If you don’t mind, President Fu, would you like to have dinner together?”
Hearing this, Fu Chenxiu furrowed his brows and glanced at the time on his watch.
His watch showed the time as 6:30.
He took his phone out of his pocket and pressed the button, but the screen didn’t light up—it seemed to have run out of battery and shut down.
“What time is it now?” Fu Chenxiu asked Shi Hai.
Shi Hai took out his phone and checked the time. “Sir, it’s already 7:30.”
Hearing Shi Hai’s words, Fu Chenxiu’s brows furrowed even more tightly.
Realizing that his boss must have mistaken the time, Shi Hai remembered something. “By the way, Sir, didn’t you adjust this watch when you went on a business trip to T-country last time…”
Hearing this, Fu Chenxiu also recalled that he had worn this watch during his recent business trip to T-country.
T-country is one hour behind, so he had set the watch back. After returning to the country, he had taken off the watch but forgotten to adjust the time back. It wasn’t until today that he wore it again…
“Manager Liu, I have urgent matters to attend to. I must leave now.”
With that, he quickly left the conference room, and Shi Hai hurriedly followed.
Sensing that something might have been delayed due to the watch’s incorrect time, Shi Hai couldn’t help but ask.
“Sir, what happened?”
“Yi Fei’s concert is at 7:30. I promised him I would attend today. We need to head over now.”
And… she was supposed to go with him today.
They took the elevator down to the underground parking lot, got into the car, and Shi Hai navigated to the concert venue. It would take half an hour to get there.After plugging in the phone to charge, it rebooted and the screen lit up, revealing missed calls from Mu Mian.
When I called back, all I heard was “The subscriber you have dialed is powered off.”
