Quite awkward

Mu Yanqing lowered his eyebrows, with an unintentional look of fatigue.

"Chen An, you know how much I care about Ayu. You don't want me to always worry about her after I go to the United States. I'm not asking you to see her often, but I just want you to help her when she encounters trouble or difficulties."

If this matter cannot be resolved, Mu Yanqing will not be able to go to the United States with peace of mind. He cannot leave Qi Yu in Linjiang and ignore her.

His own brother is the only person who can make him feel at ease. At least Mu Chenan has no other thoughts about Qi Yu, and will not hurt her for no reason. He just takes care of her occasionally, and there is no need to keep an eye on her all the time. It is not a big deal.

Besides, Qi Yu is a sensible girl who has been well-behaved and obedient since childhood. She will definitely not cause any burden or trouble to others.

He said so much, but Mu Chenan remained indifferent. He just picked up the food and ate without listening at all.

"Brother, hurry up and eat, or the food will get cold."

Mu Yanqing tried his best to maintain his composure and not throw his chopsticks on the spot.

He tried his best to persuade Mu Chenan, but he still looked as if it had nothing to do with him. He changed his mind and thought that even if he agreed to take care of Qi Yu, it might just be a perfunctory promise.

That's it.

Four months later, on New Year's Day, Mu Chenan was driving home after a party with friends. When he passed the Linjiang Bridge, the evening breeze was slightly chilly. Fireworks were being set off by the river. They bloomed in an instant, colorful, and stayed in the sky for a few seconds before dissipating.

In fact, he was not interested, but a scene emerged in his mind. It was also on New Year's Day one year. In order to celebrate Qi Yu's birthday, Mu Yanqing prepared a gorgeous fireworks party for her alone.

The little junior high school girl liked these things. That day, Mu Chenan was called by Mu Yanqing and was forced to be present.

The sky was filled with golden flowers like waterfalls, lighting up the entire night sky. Fireworks then continued to explode, creating a breathtaking sight that was hard to take in.

At that time, Qi Yu was both excited and moved. Tears welled up in her eyes. She raised her head and looked at Mu Yanqing beside her.

Mu Chenan folded his arms and stood coldly a few meters away, sneering at everything in front of him. When he turned around, he happened to meet Xu Nianhan. She was holding a camera in her hand, squinting her eyes and smiling, saying, "Come over and watch the fireworks."

Pulling himself away from his memories, he parked the car in the garage of the mansion.

Muchenan bought an unfinished villa a long time ago and spent two years to complete the renovation. He moved into the new house from his large flat by the river last week.

The front yard was spacious, with a million-dollar Podocarpus tree planted in it, which remained lush and dark green all year round. In the left corner, there was a small fish pond of five square meters, in which he raised a few red and yellow koi.

After entering the door, he took off his coat and put on a calm black suit. Before the friend party, he had a business negotiation. Since Mu Yanqing went to the United States, his workload has increased sharply and he rarely has a complete rest time.

He sat on the sofa, made a pot of tea, tilted his head back and closed his eyes to rest.

Suddenly, assistant Chen Yang came to visit. Mu Chen let him in, poured him a cup of hot tea, and let him warm himself up first.

Chen Yang had just returned from a business trip to the US branch and hadn't even left home yet. He immediately rushed to report his work results to his boss.

Mu Chenan listened patiently. There were not too many problems. The efficiency and work ability of the people on both sides were efficient and accurate, so there were very few mistakes.

Chen Yang slowly took out a blue velvet jewelry box from her handbag.

"This is a valuable item that President Mu asked me to bring back to China. He hopes that you can personally deliver it to Miss Qi tomorrow."

Tomorrow is Qi Yu's twenty-third birthday, and in previous years, Mu Yanqing would have celebrated with her. But this year was different. It was said that due to the distance and time difference, their initial contact was sporadic. Later, Mu Yanqing would have to wait days for a reply to messages he sent to Qi Yu, and a phone call was practically impossible.

Mu Yanqing had originally booked a flight back home in the next few days, but Shen Shuang suddenly intervened and wanted him and Xu Nianhan to go on vacation in Hawaii. She arranged the entire itinerary for the couple. Xu Nianhan also expressed her wish to see the sea, so he chose to refund the ticket and decided to use the vacation time to accompany her to relax.

After Chen Yang left, Mu Chenan picked up the jewelry box on the coffee table with one hand and opened it. It was a high-end jewelry necklace with double-chain diamonds and two huge aquamarines, shining brightly.

He couldn't help but wonder if Xu Nianhan didn't mind at all that his elder brother gave Qi Yu such a valuable gift.

Mu Chenan closed the necklace box and threw it on the leather sofa.

After the wedding, he never saw Qi Yu again, nor heard any news about her. It was as if this woman had disappeared, and even his eldest brother rarely mentioned her on the phone.

According to Mu Chenan's previous attitude, he was originally going to refuse the gift his elder brother asked him to give.

But he has a project in hand recently, and he must get Chairman Mu's approval before he can continue to carry it out. At this stage, only his eldest brother can help him.

Now that the two brothers have switched positions, it is Mu Chenan's turn to ask for help. If he fails to deliver this gift to Qi Yu, his elder brother may not treat him well, and his project will be ruined.

Qi Yu turned out to be a key factor. She had grasped his mood without him realizing it, which made him feel somewhat resentful and helpless. He finally decided to find time tomorrow to go to her house in person.
