2023, A Stranger's Confession
"This is French rose-scented pastry, have a taste." The man looked at Mu Anran with a smile.
The pastries on the plate, full of color and aroma, allowed Mu Anran to indulge.
Whatever he ordered, those chefs could make it quickly.
Mu Anran put down the fork, "Your ways of wooing girls are quite unique."
The man's eyes curved into a smile, extending his hand: "My name is Leng Xijue."
Mu Anran didn't extend her hand; she blinked her eyes: "Tell me, why did Xue Chengzhe suddenly disappear that day?"
Seeing Mu Anran's conflicted expression, Leng Xijue contemplated: "Mu Anran, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"
Mu Anran wiped her mouth: "What do you mean by that?"
Leng Xijue said with a smile: "It's because Young Master Yu didn't want the woman he loves to work as an assistant for his rival. Using his connections to drive away Xue Chengzhe wasn't a difficult task."
