Quite awkward

Qi Yu walked out of the restaurant and found Mu Chenan talking on the phone with his back to her. She was about to sneak away, but he turned his head inadvertently and their eyes met in the air.

Then Mu Chenan hung up the phone and strode towards her. The tall and straight man with a good figure stood directly in front of her.

"It's late. I'll take you home."

“No thanks.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Mu Chenan suddenly lost his patience and his tone became serious. He didn't want to say any unnecessary nonsense to Qi Yu. She just needed to obey.

Qi Yu lowered his head and did not refuse again.

Just consider it as taxi fare and the money for clothes.

They took the elevator to the underground parking lot. Mu Chenan was in front and Qi Yu was behind. The two walked to a black Cayenne.

Mu Chenan sat in the driver's seat, and Qi Yu then opened the passenger door and got in the car.

"address."

“It’s in Fenglan Community behind the train station.”

Mu Chenan started the car.

The vehicle was driving smoothly and the cabin was very quiet. The two had no common topics to talk about.

For Qi Yu, today was a very unhappy day.

In addition to the unsuccessful filming, she also lost an expensive piece of clothing.

The total amount of clothes Qi Yu owns for the four seasons is less than five figures. It would be a lie to say that she is not heartbroken. She can only take on more dramas in the future to fill this hole.

Qi Yu leaned against the car window, the neon lights of the city flashing in her peripheral vision, but she felt gloomy and depressed.

Without Mu Yanqing's protection, she truly felt how difficult life was and that what she wanted was not easily obtained.

But her current situation is her own choice, there is no need to complain about life.

The car stopped outside the residential complex. Qi Yu repeatedly tried to open the door but failed. She whispered to the man beside her, "Second brother, please unlock it."

Mu Chenan put his hands on the steering wheel. There was a small black mole on the back of his right hand, and he wore an expensive watch on his left hand. The man's fingers were slender, and several clear blue veins could be seen on the back of his hand, revealing a mature and calm coldness.

He ignored her and didn't look at her, but asked another question with a hint of mockery in his tone.

“Is your career plan to be a waiter in a restaurant?”

Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look out the window: "I don't need your help."

Muchenan didn't like the irritability on her face at the moment.

"Okay, I don't care. I'll tell you something. Big Brother is already living with Xu Nianhan, so you'd better not go to his house to look for him."

When Mu Yanqing was still single, Qi Yu would occasionally visit his house. Of course, she also wanted to find an opportunity to be alone with the person she liked, but she didn't expect that Mu Chenan saw through her despicable thoughts.

"I have no intention of looking for my brother. I am doing well. Please don't worry about me."

Mu Chenan's cold gaze fell on her face, and he paused for a moment, "Were you beaten?"

Qi Yu's expression froze. He reached out to touch the scar on his face. For some reason, a feeling of grievance welled up in his heart. He pursed his lips and refused to answer.

"Forget it, go back."

In fact, Mu Chenan didn't care whether she was bullied in the workplace.

He had just invited her to dinner at the restaurant because he didn't want to be alone with Ling Qiao. The other party's eyes and behavior clearly had other purposes, but he only cared about the benefits of cooperation between the two parties.

Qi Yu heard the sound of the car lock being unlocked, opened the door and jumped out of the car, then walked into the community without looking back.

The luxury car behind her started and slid away in reverse.

After returning home, Qi Yu dragged his exhausted body to soak the dirty clothes in a basin of water, mixed the laundry detergent and bleach, and soaked it overnight.

The next morning, she washed the clothes and hung them on the balcony to dry. She went out for an audition during the day and took them down when she got home in the evening. The fabric was as clean as new.

It would be too extravagant to just throw away such nice clothes. From then on, she had an extra pair of loose men's shirt pajamas.

"Ayu, let's meet in the evening."

"Brother, I'm at work and don't have time. Let's do it another day."

After get off work, Mu Yanqing called Qi Yu to ask her out, but as expected, she rejected him again.

He told Muchenan about his troubles: "I just want to know if Ah Yu is doing well recently. If she encounters any difficulties, I can help her solve them, but she always avoids me."

Mu Chenan chuckled after hearing this. He didn't expect Qi Yu to listen to him so much and completely refuse to meet Mu Yanqing.

I just remembered that I met Qi Yu in a restaurant last week. She was working as a waitress there. He said something to her and she got upset.

Only Mu Yanqing could tolerate her bad temper.

"Qi Yu didn't come to see you, which means she's doing well. You don't need to worry." Mu Chenan reassured him and then brought up another matter: "By the way, don't stay in the lab all the time. My sister-in-law is preparing for the wedding alone lately. Don't be a hands-off boss."

Mu Yanqing denied it: "Don't talk nonsense. I have been in contact with various matters to arrange the wedding. It's just that you are not with me all the time, so you don't know."

"Oh, okay, then I'll wait and see." Mu Chenan raised his eyebrows and responded nonchalantly.

-

After finishing the filming, Qi Yu caught the last subway train. There were only a few people in the car. She sat in her seat and refreshed her Moments on her phone and saw that Xu Nianhan had updated a status.

The picture shows a red marriage certificate, and the text reads, "From classmate Mu to professor Mu, I have waited for this day for fifteen years."

Qi Yu stared at the screen for two minutes, feeling a little sad, and then silently clicked a thumbs-up.

After hesitating for a while, she clicked on the comment and typed the word "blessing".

Xu Nianhan quickly replied her with a little heart.

Qi Yu's heart suddenly sank. She didn't know what to do. She felt only embarrassment and awkwardness. It was all her fault that she had lost her heart so early and fell in love with someone she shouldn't have.
