Stood Up The Boss

"........"

"Lil...Lilian Mo!" Fu Yangzhu abruptly stood up and broke the silence that had descended upon the room. Fu Yangzhu pointed a finger at Mizuki Rei with a look of accusation.

"Why are you shouting? Qingqing and Jiaojiao are still asleep." Mizuki Rei threw an irate glance at Fu Yangzhu for being so loud and slapped his hand away.

Fu Yangzhu looked at Mizuki Rei as if looking at a dumb person and the nerve to punch the oblivious fool brewed inside him. "You... You idiot! Don't you know who that girl, Lilian Mo is?"

Mizuki Rei did not understand why this brat was looking so panicked. "Of course, I know. She's Qingqing's best friend. Brother Qian also knows about her, right? Since Brother Qian is so close to Qingqing.."

Indeed, Mu Qianmo knows who Lilian Mo is. In fact, he was quite familiar with her and had a favorable impression on the girl since Mu Qingqing, his little cousin would always sing praises about the girl that he almost believed she was some kind of goddess from the outer realm if he hadn't met the real girl in person.

In Mu Qianmo's opinion, Lilian Mo was distant and aloof but she was also kind and understanding. Mu Qianmo also took a quick liking to the girl and treated her as another little sister. Moreover, he admired the girl's cooking skills.

Every time the girl was at the Mu family during the weekends, Mu Qianmo would be there, awaiting the time until it was lunch, shamelessly being a freeloading foodie.

Mu Qianmo was really amazed at Lilian Mo's mind boggling cooking skills and he would often joke with her that the girl should pursue a degree in culinary arts instead of accounting and he would be her certified backer as long as the girl made him her No. 1 VIP in her future restaurant.

He even called her "Little Sister Mo" to exaggerate his familiarity towards her and every time, the girl would look at him as if he was an annoying fly that needed to be swat.

However, that was not the real reason why he could not forget about Lilian Mo.

There was still another reason for that which prompt him to glance at the Boss who was lying at the couch with an unreadable expression on his face.

Mu Qianmo gulped.

Fu Yangzhu pulled Mizuki Rei and smacked his arm. "Tch! You are so dense. Little Rei, you might not know this since you were in Japan and went to visit your ancestral home but a lot of things happened. You know that the Boss is engaged, right? Well, you'll be surprised to know who the girl is. That girl is actually no other than Lilian Mo!"

Mizuki Rei's mind almost went blank when he heard this. The boss and that scary girl were engaged? How? When? Why? Who am I?

How did he NOT know this kind of important information?!

Fu Yangzhu nodded and added more gossip. "That's not all, Little Rei. A few months ago the Boss and that Lilian Mo was supposed to go on a dinner date. You know about the Boss, he does not care about men, let alone women. He never even had a girl before. But the Boss was gracious enough to attend the dinner date and tried to get to know the girl he was engaged to but aish! That girl, Lilian Mo really have a lot of guts! She actually stood up the Boss and blocked the Boss' number when he tried to call her! I've never known such a daring person before!"

"Are you serious? Are you sure that girl is Lilian Mo?!" Mizuki Rei could not believe what he was hearing. He suddenly felt a hint of admiration at Lilian Mo for going against the Boss. What a fearless girl!

Fu Yangzhu crossed his arms. "Do I look like I'm joking? I'm serious! You can even ask Brother Qian since she's close to her!"

Mu Qianmo affirmed in a silent manner.

"Shit." Mizuki Rei cursed as he looked at Fu Yangzhu before braving a glance at the Boss. Seeing the Boss' calm and unreadable face, he shivered. The Boss was annoyed!

Mizuki Rei shared a look at Fu Yangzhu and they quickly turned their backs and spoke in a much lower tone.

"Damn, Little Rei. You actually got yourself acquainted with the Boss' fiancée though I'm not sure if the Boss would still like that girl. It's fortunate that she's strong since she can protect herself. The Boss does not like weak women."

"I know! I know!" Mizuki Rei quickly said before sitting back on the sofa. He did not even know that he had stood up.

Mu Qianmo pitied him and tried to console him. "Little Rei, don't worry. We said that we would find your teammate and even if that teammate is the Boss' fiancée, we'll look for her. Qingqing also cares for her. We'll find her."
