Quite awkward

After being disturbed by Qi Yuhe's phone call, Mu Chenan planned to go home after get off work.

He turned off the computer, picked up his suit jacket, stood up, walked straight to the office door with his long legs, and called out to Qi Yu who was still in a daze.

“Let’s go.”

Qi Yu came back to his senses, ran to his side, and left the office with him.

The two entered the elevator without saying a word.

Mu Chenan pressed the button for the basement floor, and Qi Yu was in a daze again thinking about Xu Nianhan's miscarriage.

After the elevator stopped, she followed him out and suddenly realized that she should have gotten off the elevator on the first floor, but she had missed it.

Just as she was about to turn around and go back to the elevator, Mu Chenan grabbed her arm and pulled her away until they stopped next to a black car.

"Brother, are you going to take me back?"

“On the way.”

Qi Yu nodded and opened the back door. She didn't see a driver inside. Thinking that Mu Chenan was driving himself, she walked around the back of the car and sat in the passenger seat.

The car drove forward 300 meters on the road, turned right and stopped on the roadside below the apartment building.

Qi Yu thanked him while unbuckling her seatbelt. She didn't hear a response. She glanced at him, rubbing his eyes. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong and said worriedly, "Brother, you're not driving while fatigued, are you? Where's your driver?"

Mu Chenan rubbed his eyes not because he felt tired, but because the car window was just open and a bug flew in, scurried across his eyelashes, causing him to feel a little uncomfortable.

He squinted casually and saw how nervous she was.

At first he thought she was worrying too much, but then he remembered that she had reminded him several times today to get enough rest, so he decided to just go along with her and send her away first.

The next moment, Mu Chenan adjusted the backrest of the chair and lay back, his voice light and calm.

"The driver has something to do at home. I'll take a nap first. You can go back."

Although it is early summer, it is still unsafe to sleep in the car.

Qi Yu gritted her teeth and gently patted his strong arm.

"Brother, come upstairs with me. I have two beds at home. Go and have a good sleep."

This arrangement should be fine as the upstairs and downstairs people do not disturb each other.

Hearing this, Mu Chenan slowly sat up straight, turned his head to look at her, and asked slowly: "Do you know what you are saying?"

Qi Yu's shoulders trembled, and she tried to avoid his unpredictable gaze. She stammered, "I just want you to have a good rest."

Her purpose was very pure, she just wanted Mu Chen to have a good sleep and not die suddenly.

-

The two got off the elevator. The apartment Qi Yuxin rented was a corner unit. They walked through a long corridor and reached the end.

She entered the password and opened the door, letting Mu Chenan in first.

She took out the hotel's disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet and handed them to him.

“That’s all.”

Mu Chenan changed his shoes, walked into the house, and looked around.

The decoration is warm colors, the space is very small, divided into two floors, and the end is just a few steps away.

This suite may not even be as big as a guest room in his villa.

Qi Yu has always been keen on enduring hardships and not enjoying comforts, so he disdains to care about her.

"Second brother, you should go sleep upstairs." Qi Yu pointed to the stairs and urged Mu Chenan to go and rest quickly.

"What about you?" He couldn't find a second room here.

"The bed in the living room is a sofa bed. I just need to fold it flat."

Qi Yu smiled and took out a bottle of mineral water to treat him.

Mu Chenan walked up the stairs to the second floor. The height was only about 1.8 meters, and he couldn't stand straight at all. He only stayed there for a dozen seconds before coming down again.

Qi Yu also realized this problem and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Brother, I'll have to ask you to sleep in the living room."

After saying that, she ran to turn the sofa into a double bed.

Mu Chenan stepped over to lend a hand.

After the sofa bed was assembled, the two sat at the end of the bed. Qi Yu took a breath and asked softly, "Second brother, do you want to take a shower?"

He raised his eyelids and asked her, "Are there conditions for me to take a shower here?"

Qi Yu scratched his face.

Muchenan has extremely high requirements for the quality of life, but he can only sleep in the living room tonight and has no clothes to take a shower. He must be very uncomfortable.

She suddenly felt that asking him to go home was a completely wrong decision and she failed to provide him with a comfortable rest experience.

But it was too late to regret now. She had already invited the person into her home, so she could only treat him well.

Turn off the main light and leave only a night light on.

Mu Chenan simply washed up and lay down on the bed.

The bed was not very soft and comfortable, but he had been working for long hours during the day, and now the fatigue in his body was suddenly released, and he gradually felt sleepy.

He rested his head on a long pink pillow and closed his eyes, but he could hear a loud noise next to his ears.

Although Qi Yu walked carefully and lightly, she went upstairs to get her pajamas and then went downstairs to the bathroom to take a shower.

The sound of water lasted for more than ten minutes. The sound of slippers getting wet was very loud. She took a few steps and then stopped to observe the man lying on the sofa bed.

Mu Chenan smelled a bath fragrance, a sweet and creamy scent that lingered for a long time.

He didn't like it very much, opened his eyes impatiently, sat up on the bed, and wanted to chase the person away.

The light was dim, but he could accurately locate Qi Yu's position. She was standing quietly at the end of the bed looking at him.

The woman was wearing a loose, knee-length nightgown, her hair was still dripping with water, she had a slender figure, a fair face, and an ignorant look in her eyes.

"Brother, are you still awake?"

Mu Chenan's eyes were gloomy and he glared at her fiercely.

The irritability reached its peak.

He regretted agreeing to let Qi Yu come here to rest.

This is a test of endurance for him.

"Qi Yu, stay away!"

Qi Yu took a step back, finally feeling wary of him, and quickly ran up the stairs.

Back in the room on the second floor, the corners of her mouth drooped, and she felt resentful and unhappy.

I clearly wanted to keep a distance from him, but how did the situation turn out like this?

It's all her fault for always having too much sympathy.

Mu Chenan is a high and mighty president, so how could she care about him?

He is sleeping downstairs now, so it is impossible to drive him away.

I can only spend the night like this, and after tomorrow I will consider reducing contact with this man.

……

Qi Yu wiped his wet hair casually and lay flat on the bed. Suddenly, the cell phone beside his pillow flashed.

She turned over to check, unlocked her phone, and clicked on the unread message.

Mu Yanqing: [Ayu, are you busy lately? I'll be returning to China next week. Do you need me to bring anything?]

It was clear that Xu Nianhan had asked her to apply for a visa to go to the United States to see Mu Yanqing not long ago.

Don’t the couple know about each other?

Qi Yu swiped up the chat history.

The last time they chatted on WeChat was three months ago.

She raised her phone and turned it over again, opening the keyboard to reply.

Qi Yu: [Brother, I have everything I need. I'm going to an island to shoot a commercial next week, so we might not see each other.]

A minute later, she received a reply.

Mu Yanqing: [What a pity! I was thinking of inviting you back to the Mu family for dinner. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and we could make rice dumplings together.]

Qi Yu paused.

I guessed that he might not come back alone.

Excluding Shen Shuang, Qi Yu has always been at odds with her, and they are not on the same page as each other.

Either Mu Luowen or Xu Nianhan.

I didn't ask any more questions, since she couldn't see anyone anyway.

Qi Yu: [Brother, it's late here, I'm going to sleep first. If you have anything else, please leave me a message.]

Mu Yanqing: [Okay.]
