Chapter 61 Can she really love him?
Luo Jiuyu walked toward the trash can with a puzzled look in her eyes. Inside was a black garment.
"Take a good look and see if it's the one you gave me," Hua Meimei said irritably.
Confused, he picked up the garment and discovered it was a sundress.
When he saw the style of the clothes, he couldn't help but be surprised.
The chest area was covered by two small triangular pieces of fabric, with two lines running down to the hem of the skirt. The skirt was extremely short, barely covering the buttocks.
"Is this a swimsuit?" Luo Jiuyu frowned, unsure if it was a gift from Amo.
Hua Meimei said, "Whether it's a swimsuit or sexy lingerie, why did you give Mousse Sweet clothes like that? Isn't this playing games?"
When a man gives a woman a dress like this, the underlying meaning is self-evident. It can easily be interpreted as a blatant sexual innuendo.
Luo Jiuyu said, "I didn't send it. Amo shouldn't have sent such a dress. I asked Amo to pick out the gift for me and send it over. I need to confirm with Amo."
He immediately took out his phone and dialed Amo's number. As soon as the call connected, he eagerly asked, "Amo, what gift did you send me for Mousse Sweets?"
Amo's voice carried a hint of confusion: "It's a dress, what's wrong?"
Luo Jiuyu's face instantly turned gloomy. He looked at Hua Meimei, his eyes revealing a hint of seriousness.
Hua Meimei had already read something from his expression. Perhaps this wasn't his fault.
"Why did you send me a swimsuit? It looks...like lingerie," Luo Jiuyu said in a low voice.
Amo said, "When I asked you what she liked, you said she liked outlandish clothes."
"You can't send me such revealing clothes! Aren't you just making things worse for me?" he scolded Amo in a low voice on the other end of the phone.
Hua Meimei was slightly taken aback. Since it was Amo who delivered it on his behalf, and it wasn't his intention, then she wouldn't blame him for this.
The anger in my heart subsided a little.
She had wrongly blamed him.
"Take a picture of the clothes for me."
Amo insisted that he gave her a creatively designed dress, not something that looked like a swimsuit or lingerie.
He hung up the phone, took a picture, and sent it to Amo on WeChat.
Upon seeing this, Amo immediately sent a voice message to defend himself, saying, "This isn't the one I chose; the sales assistant must have packed the wrong one for me."
"What do you mean? You didn't buy the clothes yourself?" Luo Jiuyu asked.
“I asked Wang Ru to choose. He was video chatting with me when he was choosing, and I just randomly pointed to one.”
They might have pointed to the wrong person, or the sales assistant might have given them the wrong item.
In short, the wrong gift was given.
"I asked you to help deliver a gift, and you've messed this up so badly." Luo Jiuyu replied via voice message and scolded Amo again, "You just wait, I won't let you get away with this."
The clothes in his hands suddenly felt like a hot potato, so he threw them back into the trash can.
“Um…” He looked at Hua Meimei nervously, “That’s roughly how it is, Amo accidentally delivered it to the wrong place.”
"Oh, I see." Hua Meimei felt a little embarrassed. She had thrown such a tantrum earlier and had wronged him.
She even called him a gigolo... Thinking about it, that was really hurtful.
"I will explain everything to Mu Sitian," he said gently, his face no longer showing the anger and grievance he had when he first arrived.
Both of them calmed down, and an awkward atmosphere began to permeate the air.
“I’m sorry…” she said.
"I'm sorry," they said in unison.
The two apologized to each other at the same time. Then, they were both stunned.
Hua Meimei turned her head away and said, "I shouldn't have called you a duck."
Now that Luo Jiuyu knew why she was so angry, she stopped arguing with her and felt a little relieved.
She gets angry, isn't it because she cares about him?
If you don't care, you won't have such a strong aversion to this matter.
"Berry, you're not angry anymore, are you..." he said softly as he walked towards her.
He actually called her Berry, not Flower Berry. And his tone was so gentle.
She lowered her head and gently shook her head. "I'm not a balloon, why should I keep filling myself with air?"
He smiled, and her blushing face and lowered head made her look incredibly docile. This rare display of gentleness was rather endearing to him.
"Are you hungry?" He looked down at her for a while and asked.
"I'm full from being angry with you, I'm not hungry."
"Now that I'm calmed down, I'll probably be hungry soon."
"I still have a lot of work to do. I need to lose weight." She didn't want to have lunch with him; she just felt incredibly awkward.
“You have a great figure, you don’t need to lose weight. I’ll take you to eat something delicious.” He couldn’t help but reach out and touch her face; her cheeks were flushed and warm.
She felt a little uncomfortable being treated so gently by him all of a sudden. Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively turned her face away.
"Go eat by yourself." She pushed his hand away.
Her attitude towards him remained unchanged; she continued to distance herself from him as before. He reluctantly withdrew his hand.
"Aren't you and Mu Siran together?" she said. "I'll pretend that what happened last night never happened, and you don't need to take it to heart. I won't bother you."
"Where did you hear that I'm with Mu Siran?" Luo Jiuyu was both amused and exasperated. How could she have thought that?
Her heart skipped a beat. Did his reaction mean that he and Mu Siran were really not together?
"Haven't you had a crush on her for a long time? Your brother has been pursuing her, but she has never agreed. Maybe she's waiting for you."
"She didn't accept me either. Let's put this behind us and not bring her up again, okay?"
"Oh." She was momentarily speechless.
"I'm going to find Musi Tian now and explain things clearly, so she won't keep misunderstanding me." He buttoned up his suit jacket and rushed over to find her, forgetting to wear his cashmere coat.
She glanced at him and said, "Okay."
He tidied himself up and prepared to leave, but then asked her again, unwilling to give up, "Are you sure you don't want to come to lunch with me?"
She thought about it and decided that she would feel more comfortable eating alone, so she told him, "I'm not going, I'm busy."
She was indeed too busy at work to leave, so she decided to order takeout and have a meal at the office.
"I'll have someone bring you food." He patted her head, smiled gently, and then turned and left.
She was left alone in the office, and she was having a hard time calming down.
Why do I feel so tired?
Her emotions were on a rollercoaster today. She felt like it was all unreal.
Luo Jiuyu's sudden intimacy made her feel very uncomfortable.
Has he really thought it through and decided to fulfill his duties as a husband?
But she wasn't mentally prepared to fulfill her duties as a wife.
She couldn't fall in love with someone so easily.
Even if there's a slight liking, it's just liking and doesn't rise to the level of love.
How can someone who has never received love as a child know how to love others?
Can someone with a life so shattered like hers truly find love?
