Quite awkward

After Mu Chenan left, Qi Yu fell asleep again. Around seven o'clock in the morning, she was awakened by a call from Jiang Yuhuai.

"Qi Yu, I heard from Xiang Wei that you returned to Linjiang?"

"Well, yes." She was listless.

"I wanted to send you some food. I sent you a message yesterday, but you didn't reply, so I called to ask."

Jiang Yuhuai was in North City, and he did not forget to care about Qi Yu's living needs during the blizzard. He had promised Mu Yanqing before that he would take care of her, and he kept his promise.

Now Qi Yu has complicated feelings towards Jiang Yuhuai.

He is a very good man and she is willing to be his friend, but because of him, she lost the job opportunity of recording a dating variety show, and he still knows nothing about it.

She was angry but couldn't vent it, so she could only swallow her anger again.

Qi Yu replied to Jiang Yuhuai perfunctorily, hung up the phone, got out of bed, put on slippers, and slowly sat on the edge of the bed recalling what happened early this morning.

At night, with the effect of alcohol, people tend to be more emotional and bolder.

Thinking of Mu Chenan's extremely ugly expression at that time, she raised her lips and smiled.

Finally, he got his comeback.

Qi Yu went into the bathroom to take a shower, took the buffet meal coupon and went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. She only took toast and milk to fill her stomach.

Standing on top of a tall building, she looked down at the cold, hard concrete forest below. She tore a piece of toast in her hand, dipped it in the blueberry jam on the plate, and put it into her mouth, chewing slowly.

"pretty girl?"

A Dan appeared at Qi Yu's table with a tray of food. He noticed from afar that there was a beautiful woman sitting there. The more he looked, the more familiar she became. Gradually, he thought of the beautiful woman who had drunk with him at the same table in the early morning.

His vision was poor at night and he was not in good spirits, so he did not look at her face carefully.

There was plenty of light outside the window during the day, and he discovered that Qi Yu had a stunningly beautiful face. She was not wearing as much as she did last night. There was plenty of heating in the room, and now she was only wearing a thin coat, which clearly showed her excellent figure.

Qi Yu slowly turned her head and saw the familiar outfit. She nodded and smiled: "Good morning, A Dan."

"Can I sit down?" Adam said this in Cantonese accent. Then he put the breakfast in his hand on the table, pulled out the chair opposite Qi Yu and sat down.

He just asked politely, not giving her a chance to refuse.

During the day, without Xu Yan around, the atmosphere felt awkward for some reason.

Now that his mind was clear, Qi Yu no longer doubted the truthfulness of Muchan's words. The rumor that A Dan was a dirty man must be true.

She was wary of the other party and had no intention of making close friends with him.

He stuffed the toast in his hand into his mouth, drank the last few sips of milk, chewed and swallowed it hard, then stood up from the table and said goodbye to Adam.

"Take your time to eat. I'm leaving now."

"Hey, pretty girl, don't go." A Dan called her and took out a ticket from his pocket. His tone was very serious: "Come whenever you want. It doesn't matter if you don't have time."

Qi Yu took it hesitantly.

This is a ticket to the Linjiang Winter Music Festival, which has invited many big-name singers to perform, and A Dan is one of them.

She hasn't decided whether to go or not.

A Dan added: "Xu Yan will also go, you can go with him."

"Thank you for the tickets, and I wish you a successful performance!"

-

The Mu family’s residence in the United States is surrounded by famous wealthy families.

Land is very expensive here. The Mu family's house is not as big as the manor by the river, but the interior decoration is a combination of modernism and neoclassical styles, which only makes it look more luxurious and expensive.

Although Muchenan only came once or twice a year, he had his own bedroom. The housekeeper arranged for Zhang Pei to stay in the guest room closest to him so that he would not be left out.

After more than half a year, Shen Shuang saw her youngest son again with a smile on her face and asked him about his well-being.

"Chen An, I see you have lost weight."

"Why do you still have dark circles under your eyes? Didn't you sleep on the plane?"

Zhang Pei stood aside with his arms folded, and saw his friend with a gentle smile on his face, answering his mother's questions slowly and calmly.

"Mom, I'm not thin. I eat well every day."

“I slept on the plane, but I didn’t sleep well.”

He casually changed the subject: "Where's my brother?"

"Your elder brother and sister-in-law have gone to the company. Zhang Pei, what dishes do you like? I'll ask the chef at home to make them. On New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow, Nianhan and I will cook for you ourselves."

Zhang Pei said politely, "Auntie, don't bother me. I'm not picky about food. I like everything on the table."

Shen Shuang smiled and nodded.

The maid came to remind her that the masseur was coming.

"You guys have fun by yourselves. I'm going to get a massage first. My waist isn't very good at my age." Shen Shuang said self-deprecatingly.

Mu Chenan comforted his mother: "Mom, take good care of yourself. You will have grandchildren in the future."

Shen Shuang patted his back, raised her head slightly, and there was expectation in her eyes.

"You're not young anymore. You can settle down sooner rather than later, like your brother did, waiting until after 30 to get married."

Mu Chenan responded perfunctorily, then watched Shen Shuang leave.

Two men walked in the huge garden, with green lawns and clusters of flowers.

Zhang Pei suddenly became curious about Muchenan's private life.

“You really don’t have a woman?”

Mu Chenan snorted, quickened his pace, left him behind, and didn't want to answer this question.

"You are avoiding me, which means you are secretly hiding a woman." Zhang Pei caught up with him and smiled meaningfully.

He knew that Zhang Pei was a person who would never give up, so he spoke up to help him resolve his confusion.

"I don't have a woman, nor do I have the bad taste to hide a woman."

Zhang Pei was stunned for a moment and raised his thumb to express his admiration.

The top tall, rich and handsome man actually doesn't need a woman.

"Your last relationship was seven years ago, right? It seems your ex-girlfriend hurt you deeply."

After stopping, Mu Chenan turned to face the fountain, frowning, trying hard to recall his ex-girlfriend's name and appearance.

To be honest, after so many years, I don’t have many impressions.

He is not that infatuated and would not be obsessed with an ex-girlfriend.

In recent years, my parents went to the United States to develop their business, and my eldest brother was obsessed with academic research. He single-handedly carried the Mu Group and was so busy with work that he had no time to look for women.

“That’s not true.”

Zhang Pei came over and patted his chest with the back of his hand like a brother.

"You are now the head of the Mu Group in China. There is no woman you can't get. I will introduce you to any woman you like."

The sun moved, and suddenly a shadow of a tree fell on Mu Chenan's face. He lowered his eyes in thought, as if he was seriously thinking about what kind of woman he liked.

actually not.

He just suddenly thought of Qi Yu.

Over the years, he has always been distant in his interactions with the opposite sex and has never had any intimate behavior with any woman.

But not long ago, his lips touched hers, and he also pressed her into his arms.

He touched her hair, pinched her face, pinched her chin, and rubbed her ears.

He didn't seem disgusted.

However, Qi Yu was both impolite and had a bad temper. He felt helpless and annoyed with this woman.

Coming back to his senses, he turned his head and saw Zhang Pei beside him starting to ask himself questions and answer them.

"As your girlfriend, she must be good-looking. Are there any requirements for her figure? Oh, and do you also like obedient girls? Some girls nowadays are materialistic. Can you accept that?"

Mu Chenan suddenly felt like striking up a conversation.

"I do like obedient women. Being materialistic is not a woman's fault. It's just that men don't have enough ability."

There were a few yellow fallen leaves on the ground. Zhang Pei kicked them, put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile: "I am a little envious of your future woman."
