Day n of not wanting to be a kept man's canary

Madam Mu was hinting to her that she had succeeded, and hoped that Mu Yanxin would also be mentally prepared.

She married into the Leng family in three months.

Mu Yanxin turned off her phone and was just about to go to bed when she heard footsteps outside the door.

My calmed heart was stirred again, and my first thought was that Leng Tingye had returned.

Just as he was about to get up and walk to the center of the room, Leng Changqing pushed the door open and entered. He looked at the door with an expression of surprise on his face.

"Why the hell didn't you lock the door today?"

Mu Yanxin had mentioned before that locking the door was a habit she had always had.

She forgot to lock the door when Leng Tingye left.

A pungent smell of alcohol assaulted her nostrils, and Mu Yanxin fanned herself in disgust. "Why are you back?"

Leng Changqing sneered, "How did I get back?"

He swayed as he entered, walked up to Mu Yanxin, circled her once, and finally stopped in front of her.

"If I don't come back, where the hell am I supposed to go?" Leng Changqing said, utterly dejected.

Oh right, Mu Yanxin had completely forgotten that he had nowhere to go right now.

Shen An'an broke up with him, and even she was a little unaccustomed to it, let alone Leng Changqing.

Luckily, Leng Tingye left. If he hadn't, she would have been caught red-handed, and she would have been in a truly difficult situation.

Leng Changqing lost his balance and slammed into the sofa. "You fucking like it when I come back?"

"It's better to say nothing when you don't see eye to eye," Mu Yanxin thought, not wanting to waste any more time arguing with a drunkard, and turned away.

Suddenly, I noticed a cigarette butt in the ashtray that hadn't completely burned out, the embers covered in white ash, and still wisps of smoke rising from it.

Leng Changqing's expression suddenly changed. "Wait a minute!"

Mu Yanxin closed her eyes. Originally, she didn't want to pay attention to him, but it was late at night, and if she continued to make a fuss, no one would be able to sleep.

He turned around and asked dismissively, "What is it now?"

Leng Changqing pointed to the cigarette butt in the ash, his tone full of accusation, "Who was that man who just left?"

She glanced at the ashtray and was stunned; it held the half-smoked cigarette that Leng Tingye hadn't finished.

She meant to clean it, but after blow-drying her hair, she completely forgot.

Mu Yanxin feigned composure, "What man?"

Leng Changqing snapped, "I asked you who was sitting here smoking just now, can't you understand human language?"

Feeling guilty but not wanting him to notice, Mu Yanxin pretended to be angry and said, "What do you mean? You mean only men can smoke, and women don't want to smoke, right?"

If you listen carefully, you can tell that her tone has softened somewhat.

Leng Changqing was more interested in her explanation and didn't care about the minor details.

"You mean, you smoked this cigarette?" Leng Changqing looked at her with some suspicion.

Mu Yanxin retorted irritably, "Otherwise? Who do you think it is?"

Perhaps feeling that he had misunderstood her, Leng Changqing lacked confidence and changed the subject, "Why would a woman like you smoke!"

Mu Yanxin shrugged, "Just killing time!"

What was said so casually was interpreted by Leng Changqing as her feeling unbearably lonely while he was away.

He felt sorry for the woman and didn't think much of it.

"Are you so lonely when I'm not home?"

"Cough cough!"

Mu Yanxin almost choked on his words. How narcissistic must this man be to think so outrageously?

"Let me tell you, don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend!"

After saying that, Leng Changqing staggered to a room.

Mu Yanxin almost threw up.

The next day, Leng Changqing woke Mu Yanxin up early from her dream.

He, who usually sleeps until noon, woke up early as usual, saying that today was his first day working at Leng Tingye's company.

Normally, he could just coast along at his own company, but when he went to work at Leng Tingye's company, he couldn't be late anymore.

Getting up early is fine, but it would be terrible if you were late and lost your life.

Leng Changqing spoke in a condescending tone, "Why haven't you ironed my suit yet? I'm going to work, do you expect me to go dressed like this?"

Mu Yanxin originally didn't want to bother with him, but when she thought of Madam Mu's three-month deadline, no matter how much she disliked him, she decided to stay.

At the very least, it has to be presentable.

After tidying up, Leng Changqing finally went out.

To be honest, Leng Changqing has quite a few quirks, and I wonder how Shen An'an manages to serve him.

If she didn't need Leng Changqing, she would have gladly handed him over to Shen An'an.

In contrast, Leng Tingye did not have the spoiled brat attitude of being waited on hand and foot.

After finishing breakfast, Mu Yanxin brought the food to the hospital.

Xia He was not there; a stainless steel lunchbox was placed on the small table beside the hospital bed.

Mu Yanxin walked out of the ward and was about to go to the nurses' station to ask when Xia He walked towards her.

Wu Bai carefully helped her up and saw Mu Yanxin.

She quickly let go of his hand and said shyly, "Miss Mu!"

Xia He also saw Mu Yanxin, blushed, and walked over first, "Sister!"

"The doctor told me to go out more to help me recover. I happened to run into Wu Bai when I went out, so we came in together!"

Mu Yanxin asked in a doubtful tone, "Really?"

“Yes!” Xia He glanced suggestively at Wu Bai, her gaze unmistakably implying.

Wu Bai took a long time to react, then his face flushed red. "Oh, yes!"

Mu Yanxin smiled.

Xia He and Wu Bai laughed along.

Wu Bai pointed to the back with a simple, honest look, "Miss Mu, shall I go to work now?"

Before Mu Yanxin could respond, Wu Bai had already disappeared, probably taking advantage of the time before work!

Return to the ward.

Mu Yanxin walked to the locker and said deliberately, "Looks like I won't have to bring you breakfast anymore!"

Xia He blushed and quickly explained, "No, I bought that outside the hospital!"

Her expression betrayed everything.

"Oh, is it so?"

"Ok!"

As he spoke, he unscrewed the lid of the insulated lunchbox. It was clearly not store-bought; a fresh, fragrant aroma wafted out, smelling like it had been made by hand.

It took some thought, I really didn't realize that Wu Bai, who is usually so rough and tough, could actually sit down and cook for someone.

"The porridge outside the hospital is unsanitary, let's just throw it away!" Mu Yanxin said, putting the lid on and making a move to throw it into the trash can.

Xia He quickly grabbed Mu Yanxin's hand, anxiously saying, "Sister, don't lose it!"

Mu Yanxin looked at her.

She lowered her head, clutching the hem of her clothes shyly, and said, "It was given to me by Wu Bai, I can't lose it!"

Mu Yanxin laughed, "Okay, okay, I won't lose it, I was just joking with you, why are you so nervous?"

Mu Yanxin pressed Xia He down to sit on the hospital bed and pinched her cheek. "Look how lucky you are to have someone cooking for you!"

Xia He's expression darkened. "But how can I talk about happiness? My sister's fate is still unknown!"

Speaking of Xia Lu, Mu Yanxin thought of the girl she saw yesterday.

"Could you describe what Xia Lu looks like?"
