Quite awkward

Mu Chenan didn't eat much of the meal. He put down his chopsticks, thought for a while, and took the initiative to talk about what Mu Yanqing had told him.

"Big Brother is planning to buy you a house in North City. You can pick any one you want. Don't hesitate."

Qi Yu was stunned, and after a moment he continued to shake his head, strongly refusing.

“No, no.”

Mu Chenan pursed his lips, seeing her nervous look, and said sarcastically: "Qi Yu, you are so poor, don't force yourself."

He originally didn't intend to mention this matter, wanting his elder brother to negotiate directly with Qi Yu. But now seeing how miserable she was, he decided to bring it up.

"I'm not forcing myself. First, I won't take the house. Big Brother has helped me enough. Second, Big Brother spent money to buy me a house. Isn't this the marital property between him and Sister Nianhan? So I can't take it."

After he finished speaking, Mu Chenan was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that she knew something about marriage law. This concern is indeed necessary.

This woman is not that stupid.

He didn't insist anymore.

“What time is the train?”

“Five o’clock in the afternoon.”

"Yeah, okay."

Mu Chenan left the restaurant and went upstairs to change his clothes.

The black coat was folded around his arm, and the classic white shirt and dark grey cashmere sweater were paired together, while the black pants made his legs look long and straight.

Qi Yu stood in the living room and stared blankly for a long time, then looked away awkwardly.

The man was dressed in an elegant and noble manner, looking very suave and charming. I wonder who he was going to meet.

Maybe it’s a close female friend.

Mu Chenan walked straight up to her, as if he had something to say to her.

Qi Yu was distracted, staring at his half-rolled-up sleeves with her eyes downcast. She could clearly see the bulging muscle lines, which were filled with just the right amount of sexual tension.

"Qi Yu."

"Hmm?" She raised her head slightly to look at him, their eyes meeting.

Mu Chenan broke through her confusion and chuckled.

“Do you want to continue acting?”

Qi Yu was stunned and hesitated for a few seconds.

After all, acting is her profession. She once wanted to make a living as an actor and it is not easy to give up. However, she has no way to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry on her own.

Tried hard but failed.

Mu Chenan's patience was exhausted and his attitude was not gentle.

“Just answer, yes or no?”

"Yes." Her voice was soft.

Mu Chenan chuckled softly, not in a mocking way, but in satisfaction.

She was confused and blinked, looking at him, wondering why he asked that.

Soon, she had the answer.

Mu Chenan raised his shiny watch to check the time.

There are still four hours until five o'clock in the afternoon.

He raised his eyebrows and said faintly, "I'm giving you two choices now."

"The first option is to take the train back to North City this afternoon and continue your hard-pressed life."

Qi Yu was puzzled and waited silently for his next words.

"The second option is that you stay in Linjiang. I can give you a chance to continue acting. It depends on whether you want to cherish it."

Her eyes were filled with surprise. After thinking for a while, she subconsciously grabbed the hem of her sweater.

This was her natural reaction when she was extremely conflicted.

Mu Chenan raised his hand and patted her thin shoulders, then put his hand on the back of her neck and pulled her closer.

I don't pay much attention to boundaries and just do whatever I want.

Qi Yu wanted to hide, but failed.

The heat from the man's palm was burning her skin.

When a man and a woman have close contact, her cheeks become hot, which is not a good sign.

She trembled slightly, bit her lower lip nervously, and looked at him in confusion.

His voice was steady, reminding her, yet also seemed to be throwing out temptation.

"Qi Yu, do you remember what I said before?"

"I said, I'm good to you, you should be grateful and accept it, but this time, you have the opportunity to refuse."

Qi Yu's heart was in her throat, her lips moved, and her body was surrounded by a faint cedar-scented masculine scent. She couldn't utter a word.

"You don't have to answer me now. I'm going out for a while. When I get home in the evening, I'll see what you choose."

If she disappeared from this villa, it meant that she gave up the opportunity and boarded the train back to North City on time.

On the contrary, she missed the train and chose to stay in the villa waiting for him, which shows that she is quite sensible.

This was the first time that Muchan showed kindness and wanted to help this "sister" who grew up under his nose.

Seeing her series of well-behaved behavior today, he was quite satisfied.

Although Qi Yu had an unfortunate life experience, Mu Yanqing took good care of her and raised her to be healthy and beautiful.

Once people have no money, it is easy to go astray, especially if she is unstable and lacks social experience. If she is fooled by a bad guy, she may be cheated of money this time, but who knows what will happen next time.

She doesn't need to endure hardship, because choice is more important than hard work.
