Quite awkward

United States.

Mu Yanqing was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone. He went to bed early last night with Xu Nianhan and forgot to turn off the mute button.

Glancing sideways at his wife who was sleeping quietly, he covered the thin quilt above her chest, then quietly got out of bed, opened the balcony door and walked out.

It was still a quiet night outside, and he leaned against the railing to check the messages on his mobile phone.

Mu Chenan just replied with "OK".

In previous years, when Mu Yanqing was in the country, every Qingming Festival, he would take Qi Yu to visit her father's grave.

This year he was busy and couldn't leave, and he was worried about her going alone, so he could only ask Muchen'an to accompany her and pay tribute to Qi Jianhong on his behalf.

It's 4:30 in the morning and I'm having trouble falling asleep after waking up.

After Mu Yanqing stood on the balcony doing nothing for half an hour, he heard someone calling his name from behind.

"Yan Qing."

Xu Nianhan pulled open the curtains and slowly walked into the balcony. Mu Yanqing responded and saw her thin pajamas. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

"You're not strong enough to wear more clothes when you go out."

Xu Nianhan didn't respond to his words, but leaned close to his arms and suddenly asked, "Did you contact Ayu just now?"

Mu Yanqing was stunned for a moment and denied it softly: "No, I just talked about something with Chen An."

"Yanqing, I didn't forbid you to contact her." Xu Nianhan emphasized with a frown.

Mu Yanqing touched her hair and remained silent.

Xu Nianhan didn't understand his attitude and tried to explain herself, "I had just had a miscarriage that day and was in a very bad mood. I deliberately picked a fight with you, and then I thought about what happened at the wedding, so I subconsciously dragged Ah Yu out..."

A month ago, Xu Nianhan suddenly had her period, and Mu Yanqing hurried home to take her to the hospital to preserve the fetus, but she had a miscarriage on the way, and it was too late to save her when she was sent to the hospital.

Based on the pregnant woman's condition and the examination report, the doctor judged that Xu Nianhan had a miscarriage due to a bacterial infection caused by staying up late for a long time, lack of sleep, and some external factors.

Xu Nianhan is a doctoral student. She doesn't want her pregnancy to affect her studies and career, so she still reads books, writes papers, and handles work matters late at night as before.

Mu Yanqing had repeatedly advised her to go to bed early and not to work too hard.

She insisted that she was in good physical condition and ate a healthy and nutritious diet every day, so she was sure there would be no problem.

But the accident still happened.

Mu Yanqing understood her desire to improve herself, never thought of blaming her, and comforted her as soon as possible.

But after Xu Nianhan learned that she had a miscarriage, she regretted it deeply and grabbed Mu Yanqing beside her to vent her emotions.

Her scalp was tingling and her thoughts were in a mess. She inadvertently mentioned the ruined wedding and how her husband disappeared for more than two hours after the wedding for no reason.

Mu Yanqing finally realized that Xu Nianhan had always minded Qi Yu's existence.

This is his problem. He did not give his wife a sense of security in time.

After the incident, no one mentioned what happened in the hospital that day. They still cared about each other and maintained their love.

The night wind blew, and Mu Yanqing carried Xu Nianhan into the house, carried her to the bed, pushed aside her bangs, kissed her forehead, and said softly: "Chen An promised to help me take care of A Yu. If there is nothing urgent, I will not take the initiative to look for A Yu again."

"I only consider her my sister. I told you that before we got married."

It was Xu Nianhan who confessed her love at first, and she was also the one who proposed marriage on a whim.

The two went from being friends for many years to lovers and then to husband and wife, but they didn't date for long in between.

Mu Yanqing once told her about Qi Yu's life experience. She felt very sympathetic and said that she could accept that he had a non-blood sister.

At this moment, Xu Nianhan was even more flustered. She grabbed his sleeve and explained, "I don't mind, really."

She didn't want to become a jealous and petty woman in his eyes.

Mu Chenan held her hand with his backhand, stood up straight, and without looking at her, his eyes fell somewhere casually.

"Nianhan, let's live a good life from now on."

Don't mention anything else.

He respected his wife's feelings, but did not give her a direct answer this time.

He left Qi Yu to Mu Chenan with complete confidence, and he tried his best not to contact or pay attention to her.

Xu Nianhan's turbulent heart gradually calmed down. She took his hand and placed it on the side of her face, saying softly, "Yanqing, sleep with me for a while longer."

"it is good."
