"What do you think they're talking about?" Fu Yangzhu asked curiously as he eyed the two people at the table.
Mizuki Rei turned and glanced in the direction he was looking at. His eyes nearly popped out of his sockets when he saw Lilian Mo and the Boss was talking.
They seemed to be conversing amicably as if they were close.
"Damn. That scary girl, Lilian Mo has really opened my eyes. The Boss is also human. The Boss is actually interested in this girl."
Mu Qianmo didn't think it was surprising. With Lilian Mo's appearance and unique personality, men had no problem falling for her but this was the Boss they were talking about...
Also, he was aware that the Boss had been very serious about the engagement so even if he was stood up, it was highly likely that he would still be on speaking terms with his fiancée in order to honor the Old Chen couple's wishes. The Boss was very fond of those two people even though he does not show it.
But, he also knows what kind of person Lilian Mo was.
'Little Sister Mo is stubborn. If she finds out that Boss Ren is interested in her, she would turn into a hedgehog, erecting her spikes to shield herself. That is simply the kind of girl she is.'
Fu Yangzhu snickered. "Don't be fooled, Little Rei. Maybe Boss Ren is just pretending so he could exact revenge. You two know him, he holds a grudge like no other. Boss Ren might look like a harmless ice cube but we all know who has the most number of skeletons in their closet!"
Mizuki Rei widened his eyes as he smacked Fu Yangzhu in the head. This brat was being too bold! "Are you crazy? If the Boss hears you, you might just end of in that closet that you were talking about." Mizuki Rei said in a low whisper.
Mu Qianmo shook his head at the two people who bickered like children.
"Little Rei, you don't know this since you have been separated from us for months but Boss Ren, he's been different since the apocalypse. Maybe it is related to his dreams but I can't help but feel that something big happened to him. It is already a surprise that we met up with Little Sister Mo but Boss Ren who was stood up also ate her food. You heard him, right? He said 'good' three times today. Any positive response from Boss Ren is always a good thing." They all know that the Boss was no different from a mute sometimes.
As people who were saved by the Boss, the three of them were aware that the Boss was a man of action. The Boss was not talkative and showed his thoughts through actions so the rare cases where he would speak up was a good thing.
"Ah... this really makes me curious." Mizuki Rei said as he looked at Lilian Mo who was guarding her expression. He sighed when he saw this. That scary girl was being too vigilant but this was her fiancé and the Boss was a reliable person.
He really wondered why this Lilian Mo stood up the Boss. With an amazing man for a fiancé, why would Lilian Mo be stupid enough to...
'You were originally part of his group.'
Mizuki Rei stilled. Ah, ah... Could it be? Did Lilian Mo know something about the Boss? In her past life, what happened between her and the Boss? He forgot that this girl was reborn.
Wait... Then the chocolate milk... Lilian Mo used it not out of luck but because she knows that it was the Boss' favorite milk drink. This makes sense!
And if she knows this kind of private information then could it be that she was close to the Boss in her past life?
It was unbelievable but not entirely impossible...
Ah. He was so smart for figuring this up.
Mizuki Rei's eyes stared at Lilian Mo as if he wanted to pry open her brain and look at all her secrets. He was really curious! Anything related to the Boss, he needs to know it.
After all, Lilian Mo was engaged to the man that Mizuki Rei admires the most.
Fu Yangzhu elbowed him. "Little Rei, you can't possibly think that the Boss likes her, right?" Fu Yangzhu refused to believe it.
Sure, Lilian Mo was pretty strong and was a looker. She was also very tall but this was still the same girl that ditched their Boss!
He would naturally feel a bit discontented towards her. It was good that she could cook well but those were separate matters. He would watch her. In case she does something to the Boss, Fu Yangzhu would not let her off. While thinking this, he had clenched his fists.
Mizuki Rei rubbed the area that was elbowed by him. "Tch. Fu Yangzhu, it's too early to tell but Boss Ren's amicable attitude already says a lot. Think what you want."
Fu Yangzhu looked at him with displeasure. "Tch. You're being biased because that's your fiancée's best friend."
Mu Qianmo stood in between the two. "Don't fight. Little Rei and Yangzhu, those two aren't kids and they are engaged. Whatever they do, it's up to them. We are the Boss' friends but we are in no place to decide about his love life. Also, it's the apocalypse! Do you think the Boss has so much free time that he would waste it on romance?"
"Brother Qian! Really! You can even say such things like 'love life!" Fu Yangzhu said with disbelief, ignoring the rest of his words.
Mu Qianmo almost rolled his eyes.
'I just told this brat that Boss Ren isn't so free that he would change just because he's inlove. Furthermore, Little Sister Mo even if she shows signs of mental maturity, she is still too young for Boss Ren!'
