It's hard to guess a girl's mind, especially a man like him who can't coax women, let alone a woman's mind.

Joan came out of the bathroom and habitually sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window.

Mu Jinnian walked up to her, sat beside him, took the towel in her hand and helped her dry her hair.

"Being so indifferent to me, can I think that you are angry with me?" Mu Jinnian asked.

Qiao An looked sideways at Mu Jinnian, and squeezed out a smile from the corner of his mouth, "No."

"Then why are you so indifferent?" Mu Jinnian reached out his hand to wipe off a drop of water on her cheek, the delicate and smooth touch made him reluctant to move his hand, and rubbed his fingers on her cheek.

Afraid that he would find out that she knew it, and that he didn't go to Australia because of He Chuxia, she pushed his hand away and said coquettishly, "Oh! Are you tired recently?"

"Besides, my temper is cold, and I can't be enthusiastic."

Seeing her lying, he pinched her chin with his hand and said, "You are lying."

"No more!" When she said this, her heart was pounding.

Mu Jinnian's sharp eyes locked on Qiao An tightly, and said softly, "Qiao Qiao, don't lie to me, every time you lie, your hands will secretly retract into your sleeves and make fists."

Mu Jinnian looked at her hands that were tucked into her sleeves, and wiped off her sleeves. Sure enough, her hands were clenched into fists and hidden in her sleeves.

"You lied to me, are you nervous?" Mu Jinnian raised his lips and smiled.

"No." She shook her head and broke free from his grip on her jaw.

She didn't want to expose his lies because she was afraid of being hurt.

Seeing Qiao An, Mu Jinnian still disagreed with him, and refused to tell the truth, with a tense face, he said, "Are you going to stick to it to the end? You would rather tell me a thousand lies than tell me the truth."

Turning her head, looking out of the window, the colorful neon lights in the city complement each other, and her heart is full of bitterness.

At her age, she can pretend to be wanton and enjoy the good time of youth, but she is covered in scars and hides in the dark to heal her wounds.

After finally giving up her heart, she found a warm haven, but in the end she found that all the beauty was just her imagination.

"Qiao Qiao!" Mu Jinnian's voice turned cold, dissatisfied with her avoidance.

Joan hugged her knees with her hands, put her chin on her knees, and said softly, "Jinnian, I'm cold."

Hearing that she was cold, Mu Jinnian stretched out his hand to wrap her in his arms.

Rubbing her face against the back of her neck, she said softly, "If you are dissatisfied with me, don't hold it in your heart, just say it."

"I was wrong, I'll change it." He coaxed her.

For Mr. Mu who can't coax women, he can say this because he really puts his heart into the woman in his arms.

If it was another woman, Mr. Mu would probably have flung his sleeves and left. He has always disdained such things as coaxing women.

But the one in his arms is different, she is his wife, and he cares about her.

He doesn't cherish it, some people are waiting there.

She covered her chest with one hand, and looked at him with a pair of black eyes, with disappointment in her eyes.

He could see that there was disappointment in her black eyes, was she disappointed in him?

He didn't know why she would be disappointed in him.

Before going to Bali, they were fine and had a sweet life.

"I hate betrayal." After a while, she opened her lips to say what she hated the most.

"I didn't betray you." Mu Jinnian frowned in defense.

She smiled, the smile was so shallow that he couldn't figure out whether the smile was mocking or something else, he didn't know what to do with her like this.

"A lie, is it a betrayal?" She thought of He Chuxia's words, and her heart ached.

She waited for him in Bali for several days, and every time he called him, he said that he was very busy and the itinerary could not be confirmed.

Hearing that he was busy, she was a little anxious on the other end, because she knew that when he was busy, he didn't even have time to eat, so she felt sorry for him.

Thinking, if she was by his side, she could take care of him.

At that time, she was very eager to come back, return to his side, and give him the care and warmth of a wife, but he refused.

He asked her to wait for him there, and she said yes on the first day.

When he still said he couldn't make the trip the next day, she insisted on coming back, and he said, Qiao Qiao, you have to be obedient, my husband is very tired.

His words instantly made her subdued.

He said, as long as she is obedient.

If she is obedient, he can worry less and be less tired.

For him, she was really obedient.

She called him every day to tell him to rest. When she said these words, he had no idea how much she felt distressed.

"Lies?" When Mu Jinnian heard the word "lie" from Qiao An, he began to think about what lies he had told her.

"Do you want to remind me what lies I told?" Mu Jinnian asked.

Hearing what he said, she said, "I said too much, don't you remember?"

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Mu's face immediately changed, and he was a little colder than before.

"Qiao Qiao, don't make detours, don't make me guess the treasure, I can't guess, you just say it?" Mu Jinnian really wanted to know what kind of lies made her so angry.

Qiao An suddenly broke away from Mu Jinnian's arms, turned her head with tears in her eyes, and asked, "Is it really because you can't leave because of work that you made me wait in Bali for a few days?"

After saying that, Mu Jinnian immediately understood that the girl who had been treating him coldly was angry because of something.

It turned out that he was angry about accompanying He Chuxia when she went to Bali.

"Can I explain?" Mu Jinnian never thought that he would make her so angry by concealing this matter.

"Hmph!" Qiao An snorted lightly, looking at Mu Jinnian like an angry little beast.

"I didn't tell you because of Xia Xia. I was afraid you would be worried." Mu Jinnian was afraid that she would be thinking wildly by herself.

Mr. Mu's explanation instantly made Joan furious. She hummed and said, "Yes, you said it was for my own good."

"You are with your ex-girlfriend, and you left my wife abroad alone, because you are afraid that I will be overwhelmed, and that I will think about it."

"You didn't tell me because I was narrow-minded."

"It's for my own good that you keep it from me."

"It's for my own good not to let me come back."

Joan kept talking, each sentence filled with endless sarcasm.

Mu Jinnian watched his girl get angry, and he sat there, just listening quietly without interrupting her.

"You broke up with her, do you know that?"

"In the past, she was pregnant with your child. You went to see her occasionally. I can understand, but now the child is gone, and the only relationship between you is gone. You still go, what do you want me to think?"

"You said you wanted to take responsibility, yes, you are a man, you have to take responsibility, but you shouldn't lie to me."

"Do you know how much I love you over there when you say you are busy with work?"

"I can't wait to go back to you and take care of you."

"Blame yourself for not traveling."
