Quite awkward

Mu Yanqing walked down the stairs of the convenience store, took a step forward and handed each of them a bottle of water, while Qi Yu had an extra piece of bread in his hand.

"You must be hungry. Eat something first. We'll have a good meal when we get back to Linjiang."

Mu Chenan curled the corners of his lips, unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back and drank most of the bottle.

Then he put one hand in his pocket and looked over there dimly.

When Qi Yu got into trouble online during the day, the eldest brother was more anxious than anyone else. He turned down all his work and urged Mu Chenan to find a solution quickly.

Later, Qi Yu's cell phone was turned off and no one could contact him.

The eldest brother was afraid that something might happen to the little girl, so he didn't even have time to call the driver and directly drove Mu Chenan to Hengcheng.

Mu Chenan has always known how important Qi Yu is to his elder brother.

If something happened to Qi Yu on the wedding day, Mu Chenan couldn't help but suspect that his elder brother would decisively cancel the wedding and see Qi Yu in person, just to have peace of mind.

It would not be a good thing if Qi Yu's status in the eldest brother's heart was greater than Xu Nianhan's.

Although Mu Chenan knew that his elder brother only treated Qi Yu as his sister, what if he knew that Qi Yu liked him?

Will he choose to divorce Xu Nianhan and be with Qi Yu?

Mu Chenan shook his head, denying this possibility.

My eldest brother is not a brainless and unfaithful man.

-

Starting again from the gas station, Mu Chenan took over the driver's seat, while Mu Yanqing sat in the back seat and asked Qi Yu about the cyberbullying.

Qi Yu spoke slowly, saying that he was actually fine and that he had just implicated his friend.

Mu Yanqing touched her tired face and sighed lightly.

"Your line of work is tough. You're always getting bullied. How about... I assign you an assistant?"

Qi Yu exclaimed in surprise and quickly said no.

"I don't make much and I have to support an assistant, so it's not worth it."

“I’ll pay the wages.”

Mu Chenan, who was driving, glanced at the two of them indifferently through the rearview mirror.

I'm secretly unhappy because it's not a good thing for my elder brother to dote on Qi Yu too much.

He thought Qi Yu would go along with it and agree to his elder brother's proposal, but he didn't expect Qi Yu to refuse it lightly and cleverly.

"Brother, why do I feel like you want to find someone to supervise me?"

Mu Yanqing held his forehead helplessly: "That's impossible. You are a little girl working hard in the entertainment industry. I have to worry about your safety all the time. I always feel more at ease when someone is with you."

"Then can I still be independent? Don't worry, brother, I won't let you worry about me anymore."

Mu Chenan operated the steering wheel with one hand. After hearing this, he actually felt that she was quite sensible.

……

It was dawn, and after the three of them finished their breakfast, the black Maybach stopped downstairs of Fenglan Community.

Qi Yu and Mu Yanqing got out of the car and took the luggage out of the trunk.

She politely declined, "Brother, just send me here. I can go upstairs by myself."

This time, Mu Yanqing's attitude was a bit tough and he would not tolerate any refusal.

"I'll take you upstairs and take a look at the environment you live in."

Qi Yu stood at the entrance of the community holding the luggage handle. Mu Yanqing turned around and went back to the car to talk to Mu Chenan.

She guessed that it might be her eldest brother who asked him to go first.

On the other side, Mu Yanqing called Mu Chenan to get out of the car.

"Let's go upstairs and take a look."

"Not going."

Mu Chenan said coldly, "He had wasted the whole night and was now severely sleep deprived. He wasn't in a very good mood either. His eldest brother was now asking him to help Qi Yu upstairs. He didn't have the time for that."

Mu Yanqing naturally didn't like his attitude. He reached into the car window and unlocked the door. He pulled Mu Chenan's arm and explained, "Although Ah Yu is my sister, it's not appropriate for a married man like me to go to her house alone."

“Then don’t go.”

"No, I have to go and see if she is living well."

Mu Chenan rubbed the bridge of his nose and had to compromise.

"Don't waste time, just take a look and go."

"I'll be down in ten minutes."

Mu Yanqing's younger brother is like a Buddha, and he can only be persuaded by much persuasion. In addition, he knows that Mu Chenan has always been indifferent to Qi Yu, so he inexplicably feels at ease.

After getting off the car, Mu Chenan walked lazily to Qi Yu and glanced at her with his eyes lowered.

"lead the way."

Several question marks popped up in Qi Yu's head.

Muchenan is going too?

Before she had much time to ask, the suitcase in her hand was snatched away by her eldest brother, so she had no choice but to walk in front and lead the way.

The elevator in Fenglan Community is quite old. Mu Chenan and Mu Yanqing felt cramped and depressed when they stood in the elevator, and also felt a sense of insecurity.

There is an elevator maintenance card on the wall of the elevator with the date written on the front and someone signed on the back. I don’t know whether the staff checked it carefully.

When they reached the tenth floor, Mu Chenan walked out first. There was a smell of rotting garbage in the elevator, which suggested that the people living here were probably not very well-educated.

There are four households on each floor, and Qi Yu rents a small apartment.

The two men walked in and could see the end at a glance.

The bathroom is separated in a rectangular box, and the view moves from near to far.

A single sofa, a double bed, and finally a balcony...

"You don't have a dining table, how do you eat?" Mu Yanqing asked.

Qi Yu put the suitcase against the wall and pointed at the desk.

“I usually eat, put on makeup, and study here.”

Mu Yanqing took out his cell phone and informed her: "I'll ask someone to send you a dining table."

Qi Yu felt a headache: "Brother, I really don't need it. The space is small to begin with, and putting a dining table there will make it even smaller."

"Then you might as well go back to live in the Mu family."

She stamped her feet on the spot, her frustration reaching its peak.

"I should have known not to let you come up."

In Mu Chenan's eyes, Qi Yu's actions and words seemed more like she was acting coquettishly. It was sensible of her to just refuse. There was no need to be so artificial.

The decoration of this house is a bit old, but the owner has kept it clean and it doesn't feel smoky or messy.

He glanced at the side of Qi Yu's pillow and suddenly his eyes paused.

A men's white shirt was neatly folded next to the light pink pillow.

It happened to be the one he had thrown away before, and Qi Yu later ran out to pick it up.

The oil stains on it are gone and it is as clean as new.

What did she mean by keeping the clothes he had worn?

Mu Chenan was not so narcissistic as to think that Qi Yu liked him, but her behavior made him feel strange, so strange that he looked at her a few more times.

If Mu Yanqing was not present, he might ask on the spot.

Never mind, it’s not a big deal.

Even if Qi Yu slept with this dress in her arms, it was none of his business.

This was the rubbish he disliked.

Only she would place it in such a prominent position at the head of the bed like a treasure.
