Quite awkward

That night, after finishing her filming, Qi Yu returned to Tangwan Yijing Community. She said goodbye to Xiaohe at the door, and then walked into the community alone carrying a luggage bag.

The sensor door of the building unit automatically opened to both sides. She looked down at the road and walked into the bright elevator room.

"Qi Yu."

Suddenly, I heard Mu Chenan's voice in my ears.

She looked up and met his obscure gaze, and for some reason she felt guilty.

Qi Yu pretended to be calm and walked towards him, with a smile at the corners of her eyes.

"Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Mu Chenan took his hand out of his pocket and snatched the luggage bag from her hand. His expression was solemn, and his deep black eyes stared at her intently.

"Let's go upstairs. I have something I want to talk to you about."

Qi Yu lowered her eyes and glanced at the bag in his hand.

This contains the clothes she will wear for the magazine shoot in a few days. The designer recently changed the size according to her figure. After returning home tonight, she needs to try them on again and give timely feedback.

Without much hesitation, she nodded, becoming less defensive towards him.

……

After going upstairs, Mu Chenan put his luggage bag on the ground next to the sofa, then he walked to the open balcony and looked up to feel the slightly dry evening breeze of the summer night.

Qi Yu first went back to her room to remove her makeup. When she came out, she found the living room empty. She found him on the balcony.

"Brother, the air conditioner is on in the room, we can go in and talk."

Mu Chenan didn't move. He turned his head and looked over. He didn't respond to her words, but said to himself, "The chairman arranged for me to work in the United States. This was my eldest brother's suggestion."

Qi Yu slowly walked to his side.

She didn't understand much, she just thought that Mu Chenan would have to go to the United States on short business trips from time to time in the future. She couldn't help but wonder if this could be considered a promotion in his career?

“Is this a good thing for you?”

Because she knew in advance that this was her eldest brother's arrangement, there was a hint of caution in her expression, for fear that she would say the wrong thing.

The man chuckled, his tone very light, and lowered his voice to mock her, "Good thing? Maybe it's a good thing for you. Once I go to the United States to work, I may not be able to come back all year round. This is not what I want, but I have to take the initiative to face this matter. From now on, I'm not in Linjiang, and you can finally live a peaceful life."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yu felt a moment of panic.

The evening breeze blew her hair, entangled with her thoughts.

Tonight, Mu Chenan was not like before. His attitude towards her was somewhat cold and distant, and even his words were full of innuendos.

She gradually realized that she might have done something wrong.

"I didn't think so," she defended herself.

Mu Chenan raised his eyelids and looked at her indifferently.

"Brother told me that you really want me to leave Linjiang and go to the United States to work. Have you ever said that?"

Yes, she said it herself.

Qi Yu felt guilty and pursed her lips repeatedly.

"I'm sorry. When Big Brother asked me if I wanted you to work in the United States, I thought it was just a short business trip. I didn't understand the intricacies involved, so I just nodded absentmindedly."

As she spoke, she became more and more flustered and confused, unable to explain to him the complicated mood she had been in during this period.

At this moment, she forced herself to calm down and try to make amends for the incident.

"Second brother, how about this? I'll call my eldest brother now and ask him not to force you to go to the United States!"

Mu Chenan stopped her hand from holding the phone, instead held her slender wrist and pulled her closer.

"It's useless. It's useless for you to look for him. His purpose is to drive me away from you. He hates me and thinks I'm not worthy of you. He doesn't want me to continue to disturb your life. In fact, you think so too, right?"

Qi Yu was speechless.

I can only say half and half.

She no longer hated Muchenan, nor did she feel that he was unworthy of her.

She needed some time alone to think about their ambiguous relationship, so she didn't want him to appear in her life all the time and disturb her mind and thoughts.

Therefore, she refused the bouquet of flowers last night.

"Brother, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that in front of my eldest brother. I know you're having trouble. How can I help you this time?"

She didn't want to force others to do something they didn't want to do because of her unintentional words.

Seeing Qi Yu's sincere apology, Mu Chenan let go of her wrist and bent down to straighten her shoulders. The two of them faced each other, very close to each other, and their breaths intertwined.

Qi Yu was full of apologies.

This time, she did not hide, but blinked her eyelashes, met his intense gaze, and waited quietly for his next words.

"Qi Yu, do you really want to help me?" Mu Chenan asked seriously.

She nodded vigorously, sincerely wanting to make up for her debt to him.
