Under the candlelight, Mu Shenyin slowly walked to Li Qingwan's side, bowed slightly and whispered in her ear, "I have investigated, the Su family will soon have new cloth on the market, and those fabrics are in short supply in the capital. With the cloth your Sima family has now, you can't compete with the Su family's new cloth! Unless you can weave better fabrics to please the royal family."

Hearing this, Li Qingwan took a breath of cold air. She raised her eyes and wanted to ask him why he knew all this, but unexpectedly, her lips suddenly touched his face...

A kiss!

oops……

She wanted to stand up and say sorry, but Mu Shenyin was breathing rapidly. He wanted to immediately pin her down and love her well, but when he thought of the price of losing control, he suppressed his lust, stood up and turned his back...

Li Qingwan thought he misunderstood her as a fickle woman and wanted to explain, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I..."

"No problem!"

He naturally didn't mind her touch. God knew he really wanted her to take the initiative to touch him and fall in love with him, but he knew that love could not be rushed.

When he was not sure whether Qingwan still loved Sima Yue in her heart, he would not do anything rash. He also did not want to cause trouble for her and make her think that he was just a lustful man who deliberately used business matters to get close to her and was deliberately trying to get her.

This was not his original intention!

"sorry!"

Li Qingwan still felt guilty. After all, was she being disrespectful to him?

"Awan, we are friends, you don't have to be so polite."

Mu Shenyin turned around and tried to comfort her, but seeing that she was uncomfortable, he immediately changed the subject, with a hint of grievance in his tone, "You didn't come last night, why didn't you come?"

Li Qingwan: “…”

She felt a little embarrassed, so she sat down again, not daring to look at his gaze...

"Something happened at home, and I was too busy to take care of it."

"problem occurs?"

Mu Shenyin naturally knew what happened in the mansion. He hurriedly sat beside her and narrowed his eyes slightly to test her. "You have killed three birds with one stone. I admire you very much."

what?

"You spy on me?"

Li Qingwan felt a chill down her spine. How could this man know what happened in Sima's mansion, and also know that she was killing three birds with one stone by dealing with Xiuzhu and Fang Xiaoyue?

"how come?"

Mu Shenyin's eyes were full of concern. "Don't get me wrong. There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Besides, I pay attention to you, so I will naturally understand more. Awan, you made a good move, but I don't understand, what on earth are you thinking?"

Li Qingwan felt it was too scary. In front of this man, she seemed to be stripped naked, without any secrets. He could even hear her inner voice...

This was so unbelievable that she didn't dare to think about it anymore, for fear that he would hear it!

But she couldn't control her random thoughts, and her inner voice was successfully captured by Mu Shenyin. He felt sorry for her for not expressing it, and also felt sorry for her for being entangled in this endless house fight every day and unable to get out.

"Awan, you no longer love Sima Yue, right?"

Li Qingwan felt that his sudden question was very presumptuous. She stood up and looked at him, "Boss Mu, I admit that you are very good to me and have helped me a lot, but I hope to handle my family's private affairs by myself. As for our husband and wife's affairs..."

Li Qingwan paused and said, "I will take care of it myself!"

"So, Qingwan admitted that she no longer loves Sima Yue, right?"

In fact, he could see from what Li Qingwan did that she had indeed changed a little. Could it be that she had given up on Sima Yue?

Li Qingwan would naturally not tell her her true thoughts, but she changed the subject and asked him, "Why hasn't Boss Mu gotten married yet?"

Mu Shenyin: "..."

He didn't expect that she would ask him why he hadn't gotten married yet. He thought he could shut Mu Shenyin up, but he didn't expect that he would be so frank.

"Because I'm waiting for someone!"

"Waiting for someone?"

"who?"

When Mu Shenyin heard her mention it, he slowly walked to the window and stood there. He looked outside with a complicated expression, as if he had returned to the past...

"I have waited my whole life for someone. I will only be with her in this life. We will live and die together."

"The one you've been waiting for your whole life?"

Li Qingwan felt very uncomfortable. Did she misunderstand all this? She thought Mu Shenyin had feelings for her, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. He has a woman he likes, and he is very affectionate to her.

But if that's the case, what does it matter if he does all this to me?

"Where is she and why have I never seen her?"

Li Qingwan didn't know why she wanted to get to the bottom of it. She was just very curious and wanted to know what kind of girl would be remembered by a man like Mu Shenyin for so many years?

Besides, he looks to be only in his twenties, so how can he say he has been waiting for someone for a lifetime?

"she……"

Mu Shenyin slowly turned around and looked at her with burning eyes. His affectionate eyes made Li Qingwan a little overwhelmed. She blushed and turned away...

"Why is Boss Mu looking at me like that?"

Seeing that she didn't know yet, Mu Shenyin smiled bitterly and slowly walked to stand beside her, "Awan, do you want to know where she is?"

"Mr. Mu, please don't tease me. You look so young, how could you have a woman who has been waiting for you all your life?"

She didn't believe it. Seeing that she didn't believe it, Mu Shenyin looked at her with a complicated expression, but he didn't explain anything. Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. Immediately, he covered his chest and fell to the ground in pain...

"Boss Mu, what's wrong with you?"

"My heart hurts so much!"

"Don't scare me, someone come, someone come!"

In the end, Mu Shenyin fainted in Li Qingwan's arms, and Li Qingwan quickly moved him to the bed in the inner room. After a lot of trouble, Mu Shenyin finally survived the danger.

"Madam, how is my son?"

"He's been poisoned. Didn't he take the medicine I sent him these days?"

"That's impossible. How can I still get sick if I can eat it?"

"have eaten?"

Li Qingwan naturally didn't believe that there was anything wrong with her medicine. After a pause, she asked Chunxue to bring the remaining pills over. Under the candlelight, when she carefully checked the ingredients of the pills, she was even more shocked!

Oh no, someone added red grass into the medicine?

What was going on? How could there be something wrong with the pills she made herself?

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

"Chunxue, send your son back immediately. I just treated him with silver needles. He will get better slowly. I will come to give him another acupuncture tomorrow and bring some new pills."

"New pills, do I still need to take these pills?"

After explaining everything clearly, Li Qingwan thought about going back first because it was getting late. First, she wanted to investigate the drug being spiked, and second, she wanted to deal with the palace. But she didn't expect that when she was about to leave, Mu Shenyin suddenly reached out and grabbed her. She immediately fell on his chest with a cry. This position was very fatal. She wanted to struggle but was hugged by Mu Shenyin, "Awan, don't go..."
