Quite awkward

"Big Brother is in his thirties, not young anymore, and he's even divorced once. As a beautiful, unmarried woman, shouldn't you stay away from him? But I'm different. I'm younger than him, and we're very compatible in bed. If you think about it carefully, you'll find that we're actually more suitable for each other."

Why didn't Qi Yu know before that Mu Chenan had such shameless ability.

She twisted her body hard and escaped from his arms. After hearing what he just said, she became angry. The eldest brother is such a good person, he should not be maliciously slandered by his own brother.

"You're talking nonsense! My eldest brother is still very young. He's strong, knowledgeable, gentle and considerate. You'll never be able to compare to him!"

Mu Chenan stared into her clear eyes and thought that he was also strong and healthy.

Although his knowledge is not as good as that of a university professor, he is capable of managing a large group, so he is not a loser here.

Speaking of tenderness and consideration, wasn't he gentle and considerate enough to her in those days? Whenever she frowned, he would start to reflect on whether he had been too rough. She was too tired to shower, and she was thirsty and cried for water. He tried his best to take care of her in every way. The most delicate moment was when she stayed in bed and didn't want to go downstairs to eat, so he brought the food to her bedside and coaxed her to finish it.

If we compare financial resources, he can become capital, while the eldest brother is at best just a shareholder who receives dividends from a fixed share.

In what way is he inferior to his elder brother?

Mu Chenan was feeling a little depressed. He held Qi Yu's slightly cold hands, trying to pass the warmth of his palms to her.

"Why are your hands so cold? Be careful of catching a cold in this weather."

"let me go!"

Qi Yu's compromise just now was a helpless act. Now she just wanted to get off his legs.

But Mu Chenan pretended to be gentle and caring for her, and at the same time he lifted her legs up very forcefully, causing her to fall sideways weakly in his arms.

She could smell the faint fragrance on his body and feel the man's warm breath.

Her emotions suddenly became tense, and she looked towards the car window. She felt a strong sense of unease in her heart, fearing that he would suddenly go crazy and do something to her in the car if they disagreed.

With this association, Qi Yu became timid again. She didn't want to be exposed for the "car sex scandal" when she just became a little famous.

"Brother, I still have to film tomorrow, please let me go back first." Her tone sounded pleading.

Ling Xue only knew that she went downstairs to get something, but she had been gone for such a long time and still hadn't returned to the dormitory. With the influence of the previous scandal, the girl might have wondered if she was having a tryst with a man downstairs.

A mocking smile appeared on Mu Chenan's lips.

Qi Yu is still the same Qi Yu. She had been tough in front of him for so long, but now she finally gave in.

He had no advantage, nor did he threaten her.

It was just that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and he wanted to hug her, so he did it on the spot without hesitation.

Her body was still so slender and soft, and he really wanted to spend the night holding her in the car.

Finally, Mu Chenan leaned back in his seat, looking straight ahead, and thought of answering her.

"Qi Yu, you just focus on filming here. I won't be coming over again."

In the dim car, Qi Yu's eyes lit up when he heard these words, and he silently waited for his next move.

Is it time to let go of the hand around her waist?

Then she heard him mutter, "I advise you to keep your distance from Big Brother for your own good. Although it was an accident last time, if such accidents continue to happen, it will have a great impact on your acting career."

Qi Yu pursed her lips tightly and resisted the urge to refute him.

Of course she wouldn't listen to him.

He started bragging again.

"We've been to so many places together in Linjiang before, and you've never been photographed once. You should know that I've protected you very well."

"Yeah, yes, I understand." Qi Yu agreed with him pretending to be stupid.

Mu Chenan knew her a little bit. She could be a little clever sometimes, but she couldn't hide it from him. He smiled faintly, put his arm around her waist, and placed her on a chair beside him.

After a long confrontation, Qi Yu finally regained her freedom. She turned around and pulled the car door, but found that it was not unlocked. She turned back to remind him, but accidentally bumped into his upper body.

Mu Chenan moved towards Qi Yu, almost pushing her against the door.

He really couldn't bear to let her go, but unfortunately, he had to return to Linjiang to handle work tomorrow and couldn't stay in Yunnan and Guizhou for long.

The two of them were already very close, and he touched her slightly damp hair and casually said with concern: "Remember to blow dry your hair when you get back to the dormitory."

"it is good."

Qi Yu responded obediently as before, hoping in her heart that he would let her go quickly.

He suddenly lowered his head, moved closer to her, and spoke in a low, deep voice, which felt very much like a prelude to flirting.

"What if I want to kiss you now?"

Within two seconds, Qi Yu gritted her teeth and replied, "No!"

He casually repeated her words: "No, then I will hold back."

After saying that, Mu Chenan moved away, sat on the other side, took out the car keys to unlock the door, and raised his chin in a particularly calm manner.

"You go back."

Qi Yu reacted slightly and was a little surprised by his sudden rationality, but she didn't hesitate at the time. She opened the car door, said goodbye hurriedly and ran away.

"Goodbye" didn't mean she wanted to see him again. It was just the farewell phrase she was used to. But Muchan might be looking forward to it.

-

The next day, Qi Yu had half a day off. She slept until nine in the morning and was woken up by the ringing of her cell phone. She squinted to see the caller ID and turned over to answer the call.

"Hey, big brother."

“Still sleeping?”

It was during the break, and Mu Yanqing sat on a yellow-painted wooden chair next to the podium, wanting to ask her when she would be free today.

“What time is the filming today?”

"We don't have to film today. The director has a meeting with the lead actors and crew this afternoon."

"I have another forty-five minutes of class. I'll come see you after class."

Qi Yu agreed: "Okay, but please park your car further away. You don't have to drive directly to the dormitory building."

Mu Yanqing understood her intention and didn't ask any more questions, just nodded.

At this time, the class bell rang, and the students who were still walking around in the classroom gradually returned to their seats. He also hung up the phone at this time.

……

Two hours later, Qi Yu slowly walked down the slope from the dormitory to the flat ground. Seeing a familiar car waiting on the roadside, she trotted over, opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

“Brother.”

“Is there still time to eat?”

Qi Yu had just gotten up and ate a bean paste bread that Ling Xue shared with her. She was now feeling very full, and even in the restaurant, she couldn't eat anything else.

"I'm not hungry. What do you want to talk to me about, brother?"

“Two things.”

Mu Yanqing took out a white box from the back seat and placed it on the center armrest.

"I bought you a wool coat, brown, and stain-resistant. The weather in Yunnan and Guizhou has gotten cooler, so remember to wear it when you go out."

Qi Yu turned around and saw the English word MaxMara on the box, and thought that this coat must be expensive.

She opened the box on the spot, took out the clothes, looked at them, touched the fabric with her hands, and politely said thank you to him.

In fact, Qi Yu really wanted to say, "I'll transfer the money to you," but she knew that her brother would definitely not accept it, and would instead mind her distant attitude.

Before she became an adult, she was not so sensible and could accept his gifts with peace of mind; but after she became an adult, she naturally felt a burden in her heart; and now that she can earn money on her own, the burden is even greater.

Qi Yu folded the clothes and put them back in the box. Then he tilted his head and asked curiously, "What's the other thing?"

"Next week I'll be taking some students back to Linjiang for a competition, and I want to take this opportunity to buy the house I'm offering you. When you finish filming this movie and return to Linjiang, you can move right into your new home. I've found a real estate agent, and he's listed over a dozen houses in different locations, floor plans, and decor styles. There are videos, so pick one. If you don't like any of them, I'll have the agent look for more."

Qi Yu was surprised for a moment, then quickly said, "Brother, I didn't reject you directly last time because I saw you were still sick. You don't have to worry about the house. The apartment I live in now is pretty good. It's my high school classmate's house. I have a good relationship with him. Even if I can't pay the rent one day, he won't kick me out."

She hoped that he could completely give up this idea. Although she could accept the coat he gave her today, she would never dare to accept the property.

Inside the car, they were both silent. She could feel that his breathing was heavier than usual. Perhaps he was dissatisfied with her rejection, or perhaps he was just thinking.

After a while, Mu Yanqing discussed with her in a soft voice.

"Ayu, how about this? You pick a house you like, and I'll buy it and rent it to you. I'll be your landlord. Apartments have complicated personnel flow, small space, loud noise, and more than a dozen apartments per floor. You're so famous now that paparazzi are secretly photographing you. I'm worried that bad guys will deliberately knock on your door in the future. The neighborhood is more private and convenient, so you have to consider your own safety. I've given in this time, so please don't refuse me again."

Qi Yu was stunned. She hadn't expected her brother to already know about the paparazzi's secret filming. Finally, she nodded helplessly: "Then you can calculate the rent for me according to the market price."

On her current income, she can afford it.

"Okay, you pick a house first."

……

Qi Yu finally chose a small river-view apartment with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, which was just right for her to live alone. She ruled out those large flats or villas at a glance.

She picked up the box of clothes, said goodbye and prepared to leave.

"Ayu, wait a minute." Mu Yanqing suddenly called her.

Qi Yu put away her hand that was about to open the car door, sat up straight again, and turned to look at him.

-

A brief hesitation flashed across Mu Yanqing's face, and then he asked a question that he had never cared about before.

"Ayu, have you ever had any romantic experience?"

Hearing this, Qi Yu felt that there was a small generation gap between them.

Generally they ask whether you have ever been in a relationship or have a boyfriend.

But emotional experiences are hard to describe.

Can the secret relationship between her and Muchenan be considered a romantic experience?

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then shook her head at him: "I have no emotional experience."

Mu Yanqing casually reminded him, "There are many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry. If you want to pursue your career, then don't fall in love for the time being. However, if you meet someone you really like, I will support you."

Qi Yu scratched his neck and hummed unnaturally.

"Brother, I just want to make more movies now, I'm not thinking about falling in love."

"Even if you're not considering a relationship, be careful not to run into bad relationships. Focus on your own things and don't let others bother you."

Qi Yu has always felt that her elder brother has rich social experience and has witnessed far more things than she has. What he says always makes sense, so she has always trusted him and rarely disobeys him. This time, she also obediently followed his teachings.

-

Linjiang.

After Mu Yanqing settled the students who came to Linjiang for the competition, he went to see the house with the real estate agent.

The house Qi Yu chose had a direct view of the river, was open from north to south, had a regular layout, one apartment per elevator, and excellent privacy, so he didn't hesitate and signed the contract to buy it that day.

Agents like straightforward buyers the most. They will serve them attentively and deliver the house to them as soon as possible as required.

The competition fell on the weekend, and some students wanted to spend one more day in Linjiang. Mu Yanqing took the initiative to give them a day off, and he went to the Mu Group that day.

Although he has now returned to being a university teacher, he still holds shares in the group, retains his job position within the group, and has the right to participate in management.

Today he came to the Mu family specifically to attend an important meeting. The person sitting opposite him during the meeting was his younger brother Mu Chenan. The two of them were focused on their own affairs and had no chance to chat.

End of the meeting.

In the president's office.

Mu Yanqing sat on the sofa to rest, his eyes following Mu Chenan, and saw him walk to the window and light a cigarette.

“When did you learn to smoke?”

Mu Chenan turned around, dusted off his cigarette ash and said, "Always."

"Ayu doesn't like the smell of cigarettes."

"oh."

Mu Chenan continued to put the cigarette in his mouth, but felt that his brother's words were meant to deliberately dampen his enthusiasm. In fact, Qi Yu didn't hate the smell of cigarettes that much. At least she could accept her best friend smoking.

When they were having breakfast in Denmark that day, Xiang Wei politely offered him a cigarette, but he didn't feel like smoking at the time and waved his hand to refuse.

The two chatted casually for a while, and then Mu Yanqing's phone rang. He didn't avoid people and picked it up directly.

"Hello, Yu."

"Well, the house is ready, and I've arranged for someone to clean it. Do you want to choose the furniture yourself, or do you want me to find a designer?"

"Well, let's find a designer. It'll save you a lot of trouble. You can move in directly when you return to Linjiang."

……

Mu Chenan walked around the sofa and sat on the office chair. After the call ended, he asked directly: "Did you buy a house for Qi Yu?"

Mu Yanqing put away his phone and was about to tell the truth, but suddenly paused and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, let her have a home in Linjiang in the future."
