Quite awkward

The Mu couple flew to the United States on the third day after their wedding. The branch company had a lot of work waiting for them to handle when they returned.

Before leaving, Shen Shuang asked Mu Yanqing and Xu Nianhan to settle their domestic affairs within half a month and move to the United States as soon as possible to live with them.

Mu Yanqing had never considered going abroad. He preferred life in China, where he had his wife, brothers, and friends by his side, and could take care of Qi Yu. He did not openly resist Shen Shuang, but instead focused on his own life, using a non-responsive attitude to gradually let Shen Shuang give up this idea.

But just at this time, Xu Nianhan suddenly said that she could apply for a doctorate in an American business school. Although she was in her early thirties, she still had the idea of furthering her studies. In addition, Mu's company could become a stage for her career development, which made her very excited.

In the study, Mu Yanqing was concentrating on organizing a research report. Xu Nianhan pulled a chair and sat next to him, wanting to say something but stopping himself several times.

The fragrance of the woman after bathing drifted into the man's nose, and Mu Yanqing's gaze shifted from the computer screen to Xu Nianhan's pale face.

"Are you sleepy? Go to sleep first. I still need to be busy for a while."

His voice is clear, and sounds deep and magnetic in the night.

Xu Nianhan pulled down his right hand, rubbed his knuckles with both hands, and slowly expressed her thoughts.

"I want to study in the United States. If you don't want to go with me, that's fine. I'll come back to see you when I have time."

Mu Yanqing was silent for a long time, and Xu Nianhan couldn't guess what he was thinking.

If you are worried about her safety, there is no need to worry at all. The university where she is studying for her doctorate is in the same city as the Mu branch, so she can live with her parents-in-law.

"Yanqing, don't worry, I love you very much. An international relationship will definitely not affect our relationship."

Xu Nianhan certainly knew his concerns. She did not deliberately make things difficult for him, nor did she ask him what to do. Instead, she was honest with him about her thoughts and demonstrated her loyalty and determination.

Mu Yanqing closed his laptop and pulled her to sit on his lap. The woman's chestnut-brown hair inadvertently blocked his view. He moved her long hair to her other shoulder, tightened his arms, and hugged her. Xu Nianhan leaned against the man's broad and warm chest, and suddenly felt reluctant to leave him.

"We just got married, so it's better not to live in a foreign country." Mu Yanqing said calmly.

Xu Nianhan thought that his attitude was not to allow her to go abroad. She sighed lightly and did not plan to continue persuading him.

The next second, Mu Yanqing pinched her cheek and said with a suppressed smile, "What I meant is that I'm going to the United States with you. I don't want you to feel wronged after marrying me."

The two had been good friends for many years. Although their relationship was not as close as that of a couple, they knew each other's personalities very well.

Xu Nianhan has always been a very motivated woman. She has ideals and goals. Whether it is studying or developing her career, she always strives to be at the top. Mu Yanqing is not a male chauvinist. Home is just a warm harbor for his wife, and the outside world is her stage or battlefield.

"Actually, there's another reason. It's because I suddenly realized my parents are getting old. Maybe my mom just wants me to spend more time with her, not because of A-Yu."

Xu Nianhan was stunned for a few seconds, her right ear just touching his left chest. For a moment she wanted to ask him -

Do you care more about me or Qi Yu?

It is inevitable for women to have this kind of comparative thoughts.

She thought about it carefully. Since Mu Yanqing was willing to give up everything in China and go to the United States with her, did this mean that she was more important?

-

The next day after Mu Yanqing made the decision, he submitted his resignation letter to Linjiang University. He was also an executive of the Mu Group. He promoted a subordinate that day and then spent an afternoon completing the work handover.

After it was over, it was already evening.

Mu Yanqing walked into the president's office. Mu Chenan was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window making a phone call. His assistant Chen Yang took out the takeout from the high-end restaurant and placed it on the coffee table one by one.

After Chen Yang stood up, he saw Mu Yanqing and nodded. He said hello, "Mr. Mu, you can eat first if you are hungry."

Mu Yanqing nodded, sat down on the sofa, and sent a message to Xu Nianhan that he would not be home for dinner tonight.

Putting down his phone, he saw a takeout box on the coffee table containing fried shrimps in Typhoon Shelter. This was Qi Yu's favorite dish when she was in school. Later, when he moved from the Mu family villa to his own house, he specially watched the tutorial to learn how to make it for her.

This afternoon, Mu Yanqing talked to Qi Yu on the phone for more than ten minutes. She already knew that he was going to the United States for a few years.

Her attitude was very indifferent. She just kept telling him and Sister Nianhan to live a good life in the United States and not to worry about her, as she could take care of herself.

Ever since the wedding, Qi Yu openly avoided suspicion. She was even unwilling to meet him again before he went to the United States, saying that she had to go to the crew for an audition, but Mu Yanqing could tell that this was just an excuse she came up with on the spur of the moment.

After Mu Chenan hung up the phone, he turned around and walked to the single sofa on the side and walked down. Seeing Mu Yanqing lowering his eyes and looking absent-minded, he deliberately snapped his fingers.

"Brother, let's eat."

Mu Yanqing silently picked up the chopsticks, handed a pair to his brother, then picked up a shrimp and put it into his mouth, chewing it. His emotions affected his appetite, so he immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"Chen An, when did you know that A Yu liked me?"

After that day, the two brothers tacitly agreed not to talk about this matter again, but Mu Yanqing suddenly wanted to know the whole story.

Mu Chenan stopped eating, raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

It seems to be saying, you are still curious.

"About three months ago, when Qi Yu found out you were with your sister-in-law, she got drunk and blurted out her secret."

Mu Chenan told the truth and had no intention of hiding anything.

Hearing this, Mu Yanqing frowned, turned his head and continued to ask: "Why didn't you tell me at the time?"

"Why should I tell you?" Mu Chenan asked with a curled lip.

Mu Yanqing's eyes were gloomy. If he had known about this at the time, he might have had a better way to deal with it, instead of letting his relationship with Qi Yu become increasingly distant as it is now.

Although he didn't like Muchenan's playful attitude, he had something to ask him, so he held back his temper.

"I know you and Ayu don't have a good relationship, but she also calls you Second Brother. When I'm not in Linjiang, please take care of her for me."

Mu Chenan shook his head decisively to refuse.

"No, I don't have the time for that."

If it were someone else, they would have come back and apologized to him properly in response to that slap. However, so much time has passed and Qi Yu has not taken any action. She probably has not thought about making up for her mistake, nor does she regret her impulsive behavior.

What inexplicable self-esteem and arrogance.

Therefore, he made up his mind to keep his distance from Qi Yu, the scourge, from then on.
