Quite awkward

The morning light entered the room through the glass window. Qi Yu opened her eyes and slowly adapted to everything in front of her. She had not fallen asleep last night. She just lay quietly in bed with her eyes closed, waiting for time to pass by little by little.

She got out of bed in a daze, went into the bathroom, washed her face, and combed her hair with her five fingers. She couldn't bear to look at her disheveled self in the mirror, so she quickly turned around and walked to the door of the room.

With a sudden thought, he put his ear to the door to catch the movement in the living room.

No obvious sound was heard.

Maybe Muchenan hadn't gotten up yet at this time, so she wanted to sneak away without seeing him.

She opened the door and found the living room empty. She breathed a sigh of relief and walked straight to the front door.

Suddenly she heard the sound of porcelain plates colliding, her heart skipped a beat and she quickened her pace.

The man said, "Come and have breakfast."

Qi Yu replied quickly: "No, thank you."

She stood at the door, grabbed the door handle, and turned it, but there was no response.

He locked it up again in advance.

After trying it once, she gave up.

She had the same experience last time at the hot spring villa. She didn't have complete freedom when she was in someone else's house.

Later, Qi Yu heard a very light laugh coming from the owner of the house.

She turned around and walked more than ten steps to the right, and saw Mu Chenan sitting in the restaurant drinking coffee, dressed neatly.

He was wearing a black striped double-breasted suit with a diamond brooch of a golden wheat ear pinned on his chest. He looked low-key yet luxurious, noble and elegant.

It seems like there is an important occasion today and he needs to dress up.

As Mu Chenan picked up the coffee cup, he raised his eyes and glanced briefly, his tone as cold as usual.

"come over."

He only said these two words, but Qi Yu knew he was asking her to come over for breakfast.

She walked to the round table in small steps. Opposite Muchenan was a tray with a plate of dumplings, a small portion of noodles with scallion oil, and a cup of steaming red date soy milk.

Qi Yu lifted the chair with both hands and then gently put it down. She sat down without saying a word and picked up the chopsticks to eat.

Mu Chenan raised his deep eyes and looked at her little face without any concealment.

This woman's skin is originally fair, and perhaps because she didn't sleep all night, the dark circles under her eyes are too obvious, and she looks listless. If she becomes ugly, she deserves it.

She had been making a fuss for most of the night, and now she was timid again, quietly eating noodles with her head down. Her lips were greasy and pink, and her cheeks were puffy. She probably didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye, like a stupid hamster. He really wanted to pinch her face hard to make her remember the lesson of last night.

A faint smile appeared on Mu Chenan's lips. He raised his hand to look at his watch, tapping his fingertips on the table, thinking to himself, Chen Yang is late today.

Only three minutes later, Chen Yang appeared in the restaurant panting.

"Mr. Mu, today is the last working day before the Spring Festival. There is a bit of a traffic jam outside."

Mu Chenan nodded, indicating that he understood. He went to watch Qi Yu eat again. After she had completely swallowed her dumplings, he asked, "When are you going back to North City?"

"The flight is for 11 o'clock this morning."

"Okay, let Assistant Chen take you to the airport."

After making the arrangements, Mu Chenan stood up and planned to drive to the company by himself. He hoped that Qi Yu would leave quickly so that he wouldn't have to worry about her.

Linjiang is not as cold as Beicheng, so Qi Yu left her thick coat in a hotel near the airport.

She booked a room for herself yesterday. After putting down her luggage, she ran to find Mu Chenan without stopping. She had no choice but to stay in this villa for one night. The double room she spent hundreds of dollars to book ended up becoming a luggage storage.

After Qi Yu finished eating, Chen Yang took her to the garage. He walked to a black Mercedes-Benz and opened the back door.

"Ms. Qi, please get in the car."

After Qi Yu got into the car and sat down, she politely told Chen Yang that she needed to go to the hotel to pick up her luggage first.

Chen Yang responded: "Okay, no problem. President Mu asked me to take you to the plane before returning."

Hearing this, Qi Yu curled his lips and looked out the window.

Linjiang is different from the north city. Even in winter, there are times when the sky is clear and the air is fresh, and the vegetation is emerald green and full of vitality.

However, she no longer had a decent home in Linjiang, so she couldn't stay and had no reason to come back.

After picking up the luggage at the hotel, Chen Yang sent Qi Yu to the airport, parked the car in the parking lot, and the two went to the airport lobby together.

Linjiang is an international airport with people coming and going. Qi Yu took out her ID and queued up to get her boarding pass, but was told that the flight to Beicheng was delayed and asked to wait patiently.

As for the reason for the delay, she checked her phone and found out that there was a blizzard in the north city.

When Chen Yang heard the news of the delay and thought about the bad weather in the landing city, he intuitively thought that all flights to Beicheng today would be cancelled.

Qi Yu did not give up. She wanted to wait a little longer. In case the airline decided that the flight was possible, she could still return to Beicheng as scheduled.

She felt embarrassed to let Chen Yang wait with her, so she tactfully advised him to go back first.

Chen Yang did not agree, but walked aside and called Mu Chenan back.

"The plane is delayed?" Mu Chenan asked in surprise. After a pause, he made further arrangements: "Go check the high-speed rail tickets. We must send her away today."

"Mr. Mu, I just checked. The high-speed rail is also delayed, and the highway is closed. This snowstorm in North City is a once-in-twenty-years blizzard. I'm afraid Miss Qi won't be able to leave."

“How many days will it last?”

"We don't know yet. Many passengers are stranded at the airport."

Mu Chenan on the other end of the phone was in a bad mood.

"Go back to the company and leave her there to die."

Anyway, Qi Yu grew up in Linjiang and she can settle herself down.

Chen Yang held the phone, turned his head to look at Qi Yu who was sitting quietly waiting on the chair, and hesitated for a few seconds.

"Mr. Mu, this isn't right. I'm afraid Miss Qi won't be able to get a taxi back to the main city if I leave."

Mu Chenan was busy and didn't have time to think of a solution, so he simply asked Chen Yang to bring Qi Yu to Mu's first.

Qi Yu just received a text message notifying her of the flight cancellation. She sighed, turned around, and saw Chen Yang walking towards her after ending the call.

"Assistant Chen, the flight is canceled."

"Ms. Qi, you may not be able to return to North City these days. President Mu asked me to take you to the company now."

Qi Yu awkwardly shook her head and said no

"You should just take me back to the hotel I was staying at before, and I'll book a room myself."

Chen Yang didn't try to persuade her anymore and respected her choice.
