Quite awkward

With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened to both sides.

Qi Yu stepped into the president's office of Mu Group.

The office space is decorated with a high-tech feel, with extreme silver and white as the main colors, making the area appear particularly spacious.

The lights on this floor are all on, but there are few employees working overtime. Only the cleaning staff are cleaning the corridor with tools in hand.

Qi Yu rolled up the documents in her hand and walked forward. She didn't plan to ask for directions, thinking that she would be able to find Mu Chenan's office easily by walking a few steps.

As she expected, the president's office was the largest and most conspicuous place on this floor.

She stood at the door, bent her fingers and tapped twice on the glass door.

"Enter."

The door opened a crack, and Qi Yu walked in sideways, her eyes naturally falling on the man who was working in front of the computer.

The lines of his profile are smooth and neat, but give people a cold and indifferent feeling.

She hesitated and did not move forward. Instead, she stood where she was and called out softly, "Second Brother."

Mu Chenan didn't turn around, his eyes still fixed on the computer, and two words came out from between his thin lips: "Come here."

A few minutes ago, Chen Yang separated from Qi Yu, and he called Mu Chenan back out of worry.

Mu Chenan already knew that the person who came to deliver the documents was Qi Yu.

This was Qi Yu's first time entering the Mu Group building and also his first time visiting his office.

She did not forget her task, and after he spoke, she quickly walked to the desk and handed over the documents.

Mu Chenan didn't look at her. He raised his hand to take the document and opened it to check.

A minute later, he picked up his phone and called one of his subordinates, severely criticizing him for making a very serious mistake that would cause hundreds of millions of dollars in losses if he was not careful.

Qi Yu clasped her hands together and lowered her head, as if she was the one who made the mistake.

Although Muchenan had always been sarcastic, intimidating and threatening to her before, he was always calm and rational in front of her and would never lose his temper with her.

She had never seen him like this before.

But we can guess that to be able to sit in this position, he must have extremely strong leadership and authority, be decisive and resolute, and be strict about every detail.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Chenan threw away the phone, looked up at Qi Yu, and his anger gradually subsided.

"Qi Yu, you go back first."

Qi Yu looked up and happened to see the clock hanging on the wall.

At nine o'clock in the evening, as the president, he still had to work overtime, but his employees had already gone home.

She slowly walked forward, until she was only a desk away from him, and said softly, "Second brother, you should go back and rest, otherwise you will have a headache again."

The atmosphere in the office was slightly stagnant.

Mu Chenan's eyes were slightly cold.

"Sending a text message wasn't enough, you even came to remind me in person. What's going on? Are you suddenly concerned about me?"

After he said this, he tilted his head to look at the computer screen and clicked the mouse a few times. He had a lazy attitude and a bit of sarcasm, thinking that she was meddling in his affairs.

Qi Yu let out a light breath.

It turned out that he had seen the text message a long time ago, but was just too lazy to reply.

She now realized that this concern was unnecessary.

Why not care about someone else? Care about Muchenan.

He is very arrogant and may not even listen to what his parents and older brother say.

Qi Yu didn't say anything else, turned around and dragged his feet towards the door.

At this time, her cell phone rang. She saw the caller ID and said unexpectedly, "Sister Nianhan?"

Xu Nianhan had never called her, and they only had very little contact on WeChat.

Mu Chenan turned his head and called her, "Qi Yu, come here and turn on the hands-free."

Qi Yu was full of doubts.

Why did she do this?

This was a private conversation between her and Xu Nianhan, why should he hear it?

She clicked answer and put the phone to her ear. Just as she touched the door handle, she heard a female voice on the other end and paused involuntarily.

"Ayu, your eldest brother's birthday is next month. Go get a US visa and fly over to celebrate his birthday."

Qi Yu was silent.

“Ayu, are you listening?”

While Qi Yu was silent, she had already returned to her desk and put the phone on speakerphone.

"Sister Nianhan, I'm listening."

After responding, Qi Yu and Mu Chenan looked at each other. She felt dazed and unsure.

"Sister Nianhan, I have work and don't have time to come." Qi Yu touched her lips unnaturally and came up with the most perfect reason to refuse.

Xu Nianhan said with regret: "I wanted to give your brother a surprise."

Treat Qi Yu as a surprise and celebrate big brother's birthday?

Mu Chenan frowned.

I don’t understand Xu Nianhan’s train of thought.

He thought about it for a moment and quickly saw the truth.

Xu Nianhan wanted to use Qi Yu as a tool to please her husband while also highlighting her magnanimity, achieving the best of both worlds.

Qi Yu felt it was very strange, and she suddenly wanted to care about the baby in Xu Nianhan's belly.

"Sister Nianhan, your treasure..."

He was interrupted by Mu Chenan halfway through his words.

"Sister-in-law, it's me, Chen An."

Xu Nianhan was surprised: "Chen An? You were with A Yu at night."

"Yes, Qi Yu lives with me now, didn't you know?"

"Your elder brother didn't tell me either."

"Brother has to take care of you and is busy with work, so he really doesn't have time to take care of Qi Yu. Qi Yu was scammed a while ago, and I helped her. I felt sorry for her, so I just kept her by my side."

Mu Chenan's words were somewhat ambiguous. Qi Yu frowned, not wanting him to mention that she had been defrauded.

"You, you guys..." Xu Nianhan was a little confused, but didn't know how to ask directly.

The man's slender fingers tapped on the table, and the two people in the office looked at each other silently.

Qi Yu shook his head, reminding him not to talk nonsense.

Seeing her nervous look, Mu Chenan chuckled softly and said nonchalantly: "Brother doesn't know about this yet, sister-in-law, please don't tell anyone. Keep it a secret for both of us."

Because of Mu Yanqing, Xu Nianhan and Mu Chenan have always had a good relationship in private. Apart from being a little shocked, she never doubted the authenticity of the story.

"Then you have to treat Ayu well."

"Yes, sister-in-law, I'll hang up first."

Qi Yu was confused and didn't understand what was going on. She just vaguely felt that Xu Nianhan's attitude was a little strange.

She couldn't figure it out, so she asked directly: "What happened to Sister Nianhan?"

"She had a miscarriage a few months ago and has been in a bad mood ever since." Mu Chenan pushed the phone to her without explaining the complicated situation, his tone slightly perfunctory.

abortion?

Qi Yu's eyes widened.

She knew nothing about this and had no idea that Xu Nianhan had a miscarriage.

A woman must be very sad when she loses a child.

She regretted not expressing her concern to Xu Nianhan on the phone just now.

"Brother, are you very sad?" She blurted out what was in her heart.

After he finished speaking, a deep gaze looked over, the man raised his chin, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

“You can call and ask.”

Qi Yu shook her head repeatedly and rejected the proposal. As always, she didn't want to disturb Mu Yanqing.
