It was dark and hazy. After hearing the man's words, Mu Yuan sighed softly, feeling a little speechless.

This person is talking nonsense here again.

It was like this every time. He would say in a serious and stern manner that he wanted to try all kinds of tricks, but as soon as she took the initiative, moved her body closer to him, or kissed him, he would get furious, as if a 'young wife' was being defiled by a 'big man' like her.

That's how it is in the office.

The same is true in the attic bedroom of the old house.

Now again.

What a weird person.

Is he doing any desensitization training?

Mu Yuan didn't want to pay attention to him, for fear that he would get angry again and pinch her neck or pull her wrists, causing her pain.

She turned over silently and prepared to sleep quietly.

As a result, Li Chengye stopped her in a deep voice and said, "I'm talking to you, are you mute?"

Mu Yuan turned her back to him, closed her eyes, and whispered softly: "You don't want it at all, but you have to show off your ability with words. Every time I take the initiative, you are desperate, so I won't fall for it."

Li Chengye: "..."

"Besides, I don't know how to do the posture you mentioned." Mu Yuan's voice was fragmented and a little muffled.

Li Chengye's pupils suddenly widened.

What is this scheming woman talking about?

The man looked at her figure with her back to him, and he didn't know where the urge to be serious came from. He had to say indifferently: "You don't dare, and you even found an excuse. After using up the pretense, you're playing hard to get again?"

Do you think that by doing this, you can make him fall into the trap?

Don't even look at how much you weigh.

He always thought like this. Mu Yuan had nothing to say and didn't want to argue anymore. Saying too much would be a waste of words.

Mu Yuan whispered, "Whatever you think." Then he closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.

Li Chengye: "..."

Mu Yuning's affairs had nothing to do with her anyway. Li Chengye was very capable and Zhuo Xingli's affairs would surely be resolved, so there was no need for her to worry about it.

After thinking this through, she felt much more at ease and gradually fell asleep in the darkness.

She no longer cared about the man around her.

He didn't even notice Li Chengye's extremely dark eyes in the dim light.

……

The next morning.

Mu Yuan and Li Chenye returned to the old house together and had breakfast there.

The table was filled with various medicinal foods for nourishing the body. These were the fertility-enhancing meals that Grandma Li had instructed the nutritionist to prepare.

At the dinner table, Mu Yuan was still a little worried about what happened last night. Although they were not present, they would not be unaware of the accident.

But no one mentioned this since the meal was served.

The old lady wasn't there, nor was Li's father or mother. Everyone was just eating breakfast quietly as usual.

Mu Yuan finished her meal quickly, and then when she saw that everyone had almost finished eating, she humbly spoke to them one by one: "Grandma, Dad, Mom, what happened at the dinner last night, although it had nothing to do with me, it was done by the Mu family after all, so I still feel that I need to say sorry to you."

Li Chengye ate the food in the bowl slowly without even looking at Mu Yuan.

The old lady didn't say anything, but just looked at Li Jianan and Qu Man beside her.

Li Jianan secretly tried to guess his mother's expression and gently pushed Qu Man beside him under the table.

Qu Man's face was gentle, and she smiled and said:

"It's okay. We all know about it. It's not a big deal. Although Zhuo Xingli is a new artist, he is still young and can't be considered a big shot. Chengye has already arranged for a public relations person to appease him, and the matter will be over."

"As for your sister..."

Having said this, Qu Man paused and looked at her husband and mother-in-law who were silent beside her.

She forced a smile and continued, "We all know that you have a bad relationship with the Mu family. She slandered you at will, but she has learned her lesson. I think she will not speak nonsense in the future."

"As for you, don't worry. Chengye has already done the cleanup work." Qu Man looked at Mu Yuan, her smile still full of motherly love. "We in the Li family are not unreasonable people. Whoever made the mistake will be punished. We will not implicate you for no reason."

Mu Yuan felt soft in her heart when she heard this: "Thank you, Mom."

She could sense that her mother-in-law Qu Man was actually concerned about the "mistress" that Mu Yuning mentioned, but her father-in-law Li Jianan didn't seem to want to pay attention to it, and her grandmother looked as if no one was wrong.

Qu Man felt upset, but she could only endure it silently.

……

After breakfast, Mu Yuan was called to her room by her grandmother, but she didn't ask about the banquet last night. She only asked her, "How many times have you two slept together during this period?"

Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, wondering whether to tell the truth or tell a white lie...

Just pondering for a while.

Grandma Li's face suddenly became solemn and dark: "Not even once?"

Mu Yuan was about to explain, thinking about telling a lie to calm her anger, saying it happened once or twice.

But Grandma Li Li saw her hesitation clearly.

As the saying goes, old ginger is still spicy.

All of Mu Yuan's micro-expressions had nowhere to hide under Grandma Li's sharp eyes.

"Really not!" Grandma Li's face suddenly turned ugly, "I thought you had done it several times, but you haven't done it once?"

Mu Yuan quickly explained: "Grandma, haste makes waste. It might be better to take it slow and let nature take its course."

"Take your time? Mingyuan is lying on the hospital bed, and I am almost half buried in the ground. How can I have time to take my time? I can't let myself die of old age without seeing my grandson wake up."

"Grandma, don't say that. You are in good health..."

"Don't say these polite words." Grandma Li interrupted her directly, "Have you ever asked for it?"

Mu Yuan pursed her lips and whispered, "Yes."

"That's that brat Chengye, who's deliberately going against an old woman like me!"

"Go call him in, I'll give him a few more words. This matter must be done as soon as possible. It's just a matter of getting pregnant. It can't be that difficult. It only takes one night. Why do you have to drag it out?"

The old lady was very angry, and Mu Yuan didn't know what to say. He had to leave the study and go to call Li Chenye.

Li Chengye was sitting alone in the living room, eating a fruit plate nonchalantly. His father and mother had gone somewhere unknown.

Seeing Mu Yuan coming out, the man looked at her coldly.

"Grandma asked you to come in." Mu Yuan walked up to him and said.

Li Chengye sneered: "Are you suing me again?"

Mu Yuan actually wanted to control her temper and not get into a conflict with him, but she could hear the sarcastic tone between the lines.

Mu Yuan's mind was faster than his mouth, and he whispered directly: "Well, I said you can't do it."

Li Chengye raised his eyelids slightly, a chill piercing through them: "Are you looking for death?"

Mu Yuan pursed her lips, lowered her eyelashes, and looked gentle: "Grandma asked you to come in, I have brought the message, I will go back to the room first."

After saying that, he turned and walked outside.

Li Chengye looked at her rabbit-like running back, his eyes narrowed again and again, threw the sweet dates in his hand back into the fruit plate, and got up to go to the study.

On this side, when Mu Yuan returned to the attic bedroom, he met Qu Man in the corridor.

She sat alone on a chair, with tears in the corners of her eyes. Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment and called her softly.

Qu Man quickly wiped away her tears and smiled when she turned back to look at her: "Yuanyuan, come and sit here for a while."

Mu Yuan sat down next to her: "Are you okay?"

Qu Man looked at the koi pond in front of her: "I'm obviously not a mistress, but because I don't have a family background, everyone thinks I am a mistress. Others don't mind, but Chen Ye thinks so too."

"Although I don't know about those past events, I can feel that you are a good person. I know you are definitely not that kind of person."

Mu Yuan felt complicated as she looked deeply at the woman in front of her. She didn't know why, but sometimes she could always see the shadow of her mother in Qu Man.

Maybe it’s because she is as beautiful and gentle as the mother in my memory.

"Back then, I was indeed a secretary, and I climbed into the chairman's bed, but at that time..." Qu Man originally wanted to talk about the past and pour out her troubles, but she stopped halfway through.

"Oh, never mind. There's nothing much to say. Everyone has always thought so. I've gotten used to it over the years." After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the main hall.

Mu Yuan originally wanted to say a few words of comfort.

But she walked too fast and obviously didn't want to stay, so Mu Yuan had no choice but to watch her leave.

……

She went back to the bedroom alone.

He took out the new mobile phone that he had ordered online last night and had delivered to the hotel this morning. He read the news online again, and when he was sure that there was nothing about Mu Yuning, he finally felt relieved.

She has to go back to school today, so she is going to pack her things, say hello to her grandma, and go back early.

Just as I opened the closet to look for clothes, Li Chengye came back.

Just as she expected, his face looked very ugly and dark.

But he didn't get angry at her as soon as he came in. He just went to the balcony and lit a cigarette.

Mu Yuan looked at his tall back and always felt that the man was secretly planning something...

Because she inexplicably felt that her feet were cold, and the coldness invaded her from all sides, and she shivered down her spine.

Suddenly, the man turned around and stared at her quietly.

Mu Yuan quickly explained: "I was just joking in the living room. I didn't say anything bad about you in front of grandma."

Li Chengye slowly exhaled smoke, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Really?"

"I didn't lie."

The man's lips curled coldly: "You did not lie, but grandma told me something new."

Mu Yuan looked at the man's eyes and felt uneasy: "What did you say?"
