Quite awkward

Qi Yu checked out of the hotel, dragged her luggage and a box of uneaten fruit out of the hotel gate, and hailed a taxi.

"Master, let's go to Green City Peony Garden."

Hearing the name of the community, the driver looked at her in the rearview mirror and guessed that this passenger must be a wealthy and beautiful woman.

More than twenty minutes later, Qi Yu paid and got off the car.

The security guard standing guard in the community recognized her immediately.

"Ms. Mu, Mr. Mu's sister?"

Qi Yu paused and gradually formed an impression of the square-faced man in front of her. It was the square-faced man who blocked her on the way that night and sent her back to Muchenan's villa.

"My last name is not Mu, it's Qi."

"Excuse me, Miss Qi, do you need any help?"

Of course she needed help because she couldn't remember which villa Muchenan's home was.

The only message on the phone was a room booking code sent by Muchenan, and no other information.

The security guard provided enthusiastic service, took Qi Yu's luggage, and invited her to get on the shuttle bus.

Three minutes after getting on the bus, the shuttle bus stopped in front of Muchenan's villa. Qi Yu took down his luggage, smiled and nodded to the security guard, and said thank you.

She turned and walked into the villa with her luggage.

The security guard stared at the pretty figure and secretly sighed, "Mr. Mu's sister is so beautiful."

……

After Qi Yu entered the house, he stood at the entrance for a full two minutes. Then he turned around and took out disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on.

Mu Chenan is the only one living in his house and there are few guests.

She suddenly thought, did Ling Qiao also wear disposable slippers when she came to his house?

Qi Yu shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

When passing the stairwell, she looked up at the upper floors. In her mind, she regarded the second floor as a forbidden area and appropriately suppressed her curiosity.

Then he dragged his luggage straight into the guest room on the first floor.

The room was as clean as new, with the sheets and quilt neatly folded, and there was no trace of her having slept there that day.

She sat down to rest for a while, and suddenly felt her mouth dry, so she got up and went into the kitchen to get a cup of water.

He took out a glass from the cupboard, rinsed it with running water, then walked to the water dispenser and poured himself a glass of warm water. He stood there and drank most of the glass, then his eyes moved to the door of the built-in refrigerator.

She put the glass away, then opened the double-door refrigerator with both hands and was startled by what she saw.

The refrigerator is well stocked with vegetables, meat, fruits and drinks.

She picked up a bottle of fresh milk, the production date on it was yesterday.

Today and tomorrow, not only will she not have to go hungry, she can also have a big meal.

She took out butter and cherry tomatoes from the refrigerator and imported grain-fed shank steak from the freezer. She planned to cook a simple Western meal herself.

I watched the tutorial before trying it, and the fried steak was tender, juicy and very delicious.

After eating and drinking, she didn't dare to wander around the villa and stayed in the room reading.

Today is the fourth day of the New Year. Whether outside or online, the lively Spring Festival atmosphere is gradually fading, and everyone quickly ends their holidays and returns to their normal studies and work.

If Qi Yu had not been defrauded, she would have returned to Beicheng by now, struggling with whether to find a stable job or continue to be a low-level actor in the crew.

In the past six months, she has experienced too many setbacks and endured too many grievances at work. Apart from having a face that looks good on camera, she doesn't seem to have any particularly outstanding qualities.

After entering society and encountering so many difficulties, it is really difficult for people not to deny their own abilities.

Maybe she shouldn't stick to the entertainment industry and try to develop in another industry.

At the moment, it is just a thought. If her money cannot be recovered, she will have trouble eating in the future.

That night, Qi Yu stayed in the villa alone. She did not sleep well and woke up several times. Later, she fell into a deep sleep around four or five in the morning.

At dawn, Muchenan returned home after a week's absence.

He took the elevator directly from the garage to the second floor, went back to his room and took a comfortable shower.

With half-wet hair, he went downstairs in his home clothes. He glanced indifferently at the sofa in the living room, which showed no signs of anyone having sat on it. He went into the kitchen to pour water and saw garbage in the trash can. He looked back at the stove, which showed signs of use.

Surprisingly, she can cook.

Yesterday, just after he boarded a plane, he received a notification on his phone that someone had entered his home. There was a surveillance camera in the living room, recording Qi Yu's every move, but he hadn't checked it since.

After deciding to return home that night, he arranged for the part-time worker in his home to fill the refrigerator with food so that the impoverished Qi Yu would not starve to death in his home.

Mu Chenan returned to the living room and sat down, leaning lazily on the sofa, with a wool blanket loosely draped over his legs, his head tilted to the side and his eyes closed to rest.

The aunt who cooks at home arrived on time. When she saw her employer in the living room, she tiptoed into the kitchen, prepared breakfast for two, brought it to the table, and left carefully.

After waking up, Qi Yu got out of bed and went into the bathroom to wash up. While brushing her teeth, she thought to herself that she was going to make herself a bowl of hot noodle soup later, and then pair it with a fried egg and some vegetables, which would be another perfect breakfast.

After arriving here, she completely adapted to the rhythm of cooking and living alone.

She went out wearing a set of green and white petal-patterned pajamas. She first smelled the fragrance of buns, then took two steps outside and saw the man sleeping on the sofa. Her eyes were stunned for a moment.

I didn't expect Muchenan to come back so early.

He is sleeping now, his facial features are still handsome.

Should she tread lightly?

Just as she was about to raise her foot, Mu Chenan suddenly opened his dark eyes, his brows cold, and looked at her carefully.

Her long black curly hair was scattered on her shoulders, her eyes were swollen, and she was wearing an ordinary pajamas with buttons on the chest. The clothes were not tight, and a little white was revealed in the middle.

"Second brother, you're back." Qi Yu adjusted his mood and greeted with a smile.

He withdrew his gaze, stood up, walked to her, and ordered in a calm voice: "Tie your hair up first, and then go to the restaurant to eat."

She nodded blankly and raised her hand to touch the ends of her hair.

Mu Chenan lowered his eyes and saw a white and delicate hand. The sweet scent of shampoo came to his face, and the temperature of the heater enhanced the rich fragrance.

He turned silently and walked into the restaurant.

Qi Yu ran back to the room, used a clip to tie up her hair, looked in the mirror, and didn't think she looked that ugly. She prepared herself mentally in advance, opened the door, and walked to the restaurant.

There was a Chinese breakfast on the dining table. Qi Yu pulled out a chair and sat down. She drank a sip of warm yellow millet porridge, then picked up the meat bun and took a bite. The taste was a little greasy, but she still finished it bite by bite.

Mu Chenan had a poor appetite and put down his chopsticks after eating only a little.

He turned around and saw Qi Yu's current hairstyle. Her long hair was tied up, revealing her slender neck. Her temperament had a gentle and intellectual air.

Qi Yu felt the burning gaze from the other side. She carefully raised her head, pursed her lips, and asked, "Second brother, my money..."

Mu Chenan did not try to beat her around the bush, but told her the real situation he had at the moment.

"Qi Yu, you won't get your money back."
