Quite awkward

Qi Yu was the only one in the huge and quiet villa. She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window in the living room and looked out. A silver-gray car drove out of the garage and soon disappeared.

She raised her hand and touched the back of her neck.

It was as if the warmth of the man's palm was still on her skin.

Her thoughts were a little confused and she stood there for a while. The alarm on her cell phone rang, reminding her that it was time to leave for the train station.

I turned off the alarm, walked back to the room, went to the bathroom, and when I came out, I hurriedly put on my coat, put on a mask, and went out.

……

Muchenan stayed in the United States with his family during the entire Spring Festival holiday. When his friends in Linjiang heard that he was returning to China today, they immediately asked him to come out for a party.

All the people attending this party were rich young men and women from the wealthy circle of Linjiang.

The person who initiated the party was Muchenan's childhood friend Qiao Yijing. Since Muchenan had been out of the country before, the time of the party was postponed again and again.

Mu Chenan parked the car in front of the clubhouse. He threw the car keys to the parking attendant and met Qiao Yijing who was waiting at the door.

"You're finally here. I came out specially to pick you up."

Qiao Yijing put his arm around Mu Chenan's shoulder, a deep smile in his eyes.

In recent years, he has been developing his career in other places and only returns to Linjiang during the Chinese New Year. When he has free time, he wants to invite people in the circle to get together, so today's gathering came about.

Mu Chenan patted his back and said, "Come on, go in."

Qiao Yijing led the way and said of Zhang Pei: "I called him twice, but he absolutely refused to come. He used to love playing the most."

Mu Chenan explained for Zhang Pei: "He has to go back to be with his parents. If you ask him to come out in a few days, he will just complain that there are not enough people and it's not lively enough."

Pushing open the door of the box, I saw a group of people sitting inside, men and women, laughing and playing.

When they saw Mu Chenan, everyone greeted him familiarly and politely.

Some call him Brother Chen, and some call him President Mu.

Mu Chenan stopped to chat with an acquaintance for a few words, and was soon pulled by Qiao Yijing to sit on the leather sofa.

He took a clean glass, unscrewed the bottle of foreign liquor, filled it up, and handed it to the man beside him.

"Have a drink and I'll find a designated driver later."

Mu Chenan took it, drank a small sip, savored the mellow aroma of the wine, and casually commented: "This wine is good."

Qiao Yijing clinked glasses with him, smiling: "Then drink slowly. I've seen you get really drunk before."

Speaking of the last time Muchenan got drunk, it was during the summer vacation after he graduated from high school.

A few good friends got together and opened a few bottles of expensive wine. After finishing the game, Zhang Pei planned to waste it without finishing it, but someone else thought it was a pity and suggested playing finger-guessing games to divide the wine, and the loser would drink.

In the end, everyone was very drunk, and Mu Chenan couldn't hold on and passed out.

Qiao Yijing went out to squat in the toilet and thus escaped the disaster.

But the task of sending a few people home naturally fell on him.

He called the driver at home, and the two of them worked together to move the drunks into the car and sent them home one by one.

Mu Chenan's home was the closest, and the car was parked in front of the Mu family manor. The gate was locked and there was no security guard on duty.

The next second, he saw a little junior high school girl with a pink backpack swiping her card to enter the door as if she was familiar with the way.

Qiao Yijing hurriedly shouted for help.

"Hey, come here for a moment."

The little girl turned and looked over here, observing carefully for two minutes until she saw the man pulling the unconscious Muchenan out of the car.

She opened her mouth and called out "Second Brother", then trotted over.

"Are you his sister?" Qiao Yijing asked. He had never heard that Muchan had a sister.

The little girl shook her head in denial and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with him?"

"He's drunk. You take him back. I have to send a few people off." Qiao Yijing only wanted to complete the task as soon as possible, so he simply handed the drunk Mu Chenan over to a little girl.

The car drove away quickly. At the door of Mu's house, a little girl was struggling to support the body of an adult man with her thin back.

She also didn't understand why there was no security guard standing guard at the door today. Who would come to help her?

Mu Chenan's alcohol tolerance has increased a lot over the years, but he drinks in moderation and never gets drunk after just a few sips.

It was the first time he heard Qiao Yijing talk about the scene that day.

He didn't have a deep memory of that drunken experience. When he woke up, he was lying safely on his bed in his bedroom.

As for the little girl that Qiao Yijing mentioned, it was easy to guess that it was Qi Yu.

Qiao Yijing touched his chin.

The man became mature and began to reflect on his mistakes.

"I was so irresponsible. It shouldn't have been a big deal to send you home, but I actually threw you to a little girl. By the way, how did you get back home?"

Mu Chenan shook his head slightly, trying to recall some fragments, but he couldn't remember them at all.

"Although I don't remember what she looked like now, I thought she was quite cute at the time. She's grown up now, right? Do you have a photo? I'd like to see it."

As the topic opened up, Qiao Yijing suddenly became interested in Qi Yu, whom he had only met once many years ago.

She is quite capable and always makes people unforgettable.

Mu Chenan replied lightly: "I don't have any photo of her."

“Is she pretty now?”

"so so."

"Just average? Then he must have grown up ugly." Qiao Yijing shook his head regretfully.

Mu Chenan pursed his lips and smiled.

After a while, a woman who looked intellectual and elegant but anxious came in from the box door.

Someone asked her who she was looking for, and she gave Mu Chenan's name.

Qiao Yijing smiled and teased: "There's a beautiful woman looking for you."

Mu Chenan looked towards the door with an indifferent look in his eyes. When he recognized the person, he nodded at him and continued to sit on the sofa without moving.

The woman had no choice but to walk around the others and quickly walk up to him.

"Mr. Mu, Happy New Year!"

"Mr. Ling, please take a seat."

Ling Qiao chose to sit on the single sofa nearby and explained why she found this place.

"Mr. Mu, my assistant just accidentally hit your car in the parking lot. It was quite serious. I'm really sorry. The store manager said you were here, so I took the initiative to find you. I am fully responsible, so I came to apologize first."

Before Muchenan could express his opinion, Qiao Yijing interrupted, "You're unlucky, then. His cars are usually quite expensive."

Ling Qiao lowered her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

She glanced at Mu Chenan cautiously, then put away her usual fierce demeanor and said softly, "I can also compensate Mr. Mu with a new car."

"Wow, you are quite rich. Why haven't I seen you before?" Qiao Yijing suddenly became interested in the beauty in front of him.

Ling Qiao explained softly, "I'm from North City. There was a blizzard in North City before the New Year, so I stayed in Linjiang the whole time."

Qiao Yijing understood, turned his head to look at Mu Chenan who had been silent, and pushed him with his arm.

Mu Chenan smiled casually: "Mr. Ling, don't feel burdened. It's just a car. Just take it and get it repaired."

Ling Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, a smile plastered across her beautiful face as she deliberately praised, "Boss Mu is truly magnanimous."

The two companies have in-depth cooperation and both sides cooperate very happily. Mu Chenan will not be bothered by a trivial matter.

"Is Mr. Ling busy? Do you want to have dinner together tonight?"

Ling Qiao was forced to stay in North City because of a business trip. Now that they meet by chance, Mu Chenan should do his best to be a good host.

Ling Qiao responded quickly. Seeing the group of people in the box, she could tell that tonight was not a date alone, but a noisy dinner party.

Forget it.

The crash was purely accidental.

But it was also a good thing for her to be able to make her presence felt in front of Mu Chenan.

Before pushing the door, she was afraid that there was a beautiful woman accompanying Mu Chenan.

However, since I met him, there has only been one sister around him, and no other women.

Ling Qiao didn't want to be indecisive anymore. This time, she wanted to take the initiative.

Distance is not a problem. As long as she can pursue Muchenan, she can run back and forth between the two places. When the time is right, she can also move the entire company to Linjiang.
