The CEO's Paranoid and Spoiled Wife-Chapter 862 - 859: Move the Shop Over There

She indeed liked Mr. Shen, but she couldn’t just not work, right? After all, how would she live without money?

"Didn’t you enthusiastically say some time ago that you had the money to open a branch? Why don’t you open the branch below Shen Wenzhou’s company?"

"This way you can manage the store while also finding time to pursue Shen Wenzhou. Wouldn’t that work?"

"Of course, if you open the store below Shen Wenzhou’s company but still can’t find time to pursue him, then I suggest you forget about men and just live your life with your money!"

When Ji Muran saw these messages, her eyes instantly brightened!

Yeah, wasn’t she planning to open a branch?

Just open the branch below Mr. Shen’s building!

By then, Mr. Shen might even come to the store to buy coffee and cake!

"Thanks a million, girls!" Ji Muran said in the group chat and then disappeared.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was Christmas Eve.

Though Ji Muran really wanted to make money, she firmly freed up her time for Christmas Day because she wanted to invite Mr. Shen to dinner.

Shen Wenzhou agreed without hesitation. Ji Muran didn’t know if Mr. Shen really wanted to spend Christmas with her or if he was just playing nice for Aunt Ye.

But it didn’t matter, as long as she could spend the holiday with Mr. Shen.

Ji Muran really left the store early, but then she got stuck in traffic due to an accident, and she couldn’t just leave the car there.

When she finally rushed to the restaurant, she was almost an hour late.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Shen, I didn’t mean to be late!" Ji Muran apologized sheepishly with her head down.

Shen Wenzhou’s face was calm, revealing no particular emotion. After the waiter left, Shen Wenzhou said, "It’s okay, no problem."

He was so used to Ji Muran arriving early that when he got to the restaurant, he looked around, wondering where she had gone.

It was the waiter who told him that Miss Ji hadn’t arrived yet.

At first, he didn’t mind, considering the traffic was really bad today and she might be stuck.

But after waiting for half an hour, Shen Wenzhou started to get a bit worried and finally couldn’t help but call Ji Muran.

Once he confirmed that she was indeed stuck in traffic, he breathed a sigh of relief and told her to take her time.

Still, Ji Muran felt very sorry. She had been the one to invite Mr. Shen, but in the end, she made him wait so long.

"Let’s look at the menu first." Shen Wenzhou smiled at Ji Muran, as if to tell her not to worry about it.

Then Shen Wenzhou waved his hand to call the waiter over. Ji Muran didn’t say much else and took the menu to start ordering.

After the waiter left, Ji Muran and Shen Wenzhou locked eyes but neither spoke. As the atmosphere got slightly awkward, Ji Muran suddenly remembered and quickly took out the gift she had prepared.

"Christmas gift!" Ji Muran stood up and handed the bag to Shen Wenzhou.

The last time, Mr. Shen had given her some perfume, so she had been planning to prepare a Christmas gift for Mr. Shen in return.

Shen Wenzhou raised an eyebrow slightly and reached out to take it.
