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

Mu Yanxin was stunned, not expecting Leng Changqing to ask this.

She glanced at Madam Mu, the one who started this whole thing. Madam Mu clearly hadn't expected Leng Changqing to ask such a question out of the blue.

Grasping Mu Yanxin's hand, his gaze fell on her forehead, and he said with heartache, "Yes, baby, how did you get this injury on your forehead? You were fine when you slept last night, how could this happen?"

What appears to be concern is actually an attempt to shift blame.

Madam Mu acted like a loving mother caring for her beloved daughter, without any trace of acting.

She threw all the questions at Mu Yanxin.

This behavior made Mu Yanxin feel extremely uncomfortable. Despite feeling nauseous, she struggled to pull her hand away from hers.

Mu Yanxin had no choice but to answer, "I was thirsty in the middle of the night last night, and I bumped my head when I went downstairs to get some water!"

Leng Changqing, "Did you knock it over?"

What was Leng Changqing doing? Was it a question or concern?

Mu Yanxin tried her best to appear natural, "I didn't bump into it. Did I do something stupid and bang my head against the wall?"

Leng Changqing was annoyed but couldn't retaliate. "Alright, hurry up and pack your things and come back with me!"

Having finally found an opportunity to curry favor, Madam Mu was naturally unwilling to miss it.

"Changqing, you've come all this way, have lunch before you go back!"

Mu Yanxin didn't want to perform anymore and politely declined, "No need, he has something to do!"

But Leng Changqing, as if possessed, agreed, "Sure, I'm off today!"

Mu Yanxin didn't know what else to say; all she wanted to do was video call her brother.

With Leng Changqing present, making a video call was inconvenient. Mu Yanxin approached Madam Mu several times, but she didn't bring it up because of Leng Changqing.

On the way back, Mu Yanxin sat in the back seat, looking sullen and with a long face. Leng Changqing thought she was still angry with him.

He found fault with everything, from pedestrians to taxi drivers, and grumbled all the way back to his villa.

That evening, Leng Changqing unusually stayed home. Ever since the affair, he had been keeping a close eye on her, making sure she didn't go out unless absolutely necessary.

He was as if he was afraid that as soon as he stepped out, Mu Yanxin would go out for a secret rendezvous.

For the next two weeks, Leng Tingye made no contact, which was unusual. Leng Changqing stayed at home except for work. Mu Yanxin would visit Xia He at the hospital whenever she had free time.

This worried Shen An'an greatly. In her opinion, Leng Changqing must have changed his mind and fallen in love with Mu Yanxin. She spent several days alone and became increasingly uneasy.

That night, she finally couldn't hold back any longer and went to the villa alone.

Mu Yanxin was having dinner with Leng Changqing.

Seeing Shen An'an enter, Mu Yanxin looked up and gestured to Leng Changqing, "Look, your darling is here!"

Leng Changqing turned around.

Shen An'an was carrying an extra-long lunchbox and walking towards the restaurant with a bright smile, "Brother Changqing!"

Leng Changqing was already in no mood to see Mu Yanxin's indifferent attitude, and he felt inexplicably irritated.

"How did you come?"

Shen An'an's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly smiled naturally again, picked up the lunchbox, and said, "I was afraid you wouldn't like the food, so I specially made a few of my signature dishes and brought them over for you!"

As she spoke, she naturally sat down next to Leng Changqing, opened the lunchbox and placed the food on the table one by one. Compared to Shen An'an's meal, Mu Yanxin's meal was much simpler.

Shen An'an feigned generosity, "Sister Yanxin, what you made is too bland. Why don't you take away your dishes and we can eat what I made together?"

The air was instantly filled with the aroma of tea, and Mu Yanxin fanned herself with it.

Mu Yanxin picked up her bowl, stood up, snatched the chopsticks from Leng Changqing's hand, and took the bowl away from him.

"What are you doing?" Leng Changqing scolded.

Mu Yanxin bent down and poured Leng Changqing's dinner into the trash can.

Shen An'an looked regretful and said, "Sister Yanxin, what are you doing? Every grain is hard-earned, this is such a waste!"

Mu Yanxin was so angry she laughed. There were so many dishes in front of her that four people couldn't finish them all, yet she was lecturing others.

Without any leniency, she said, "You want to waste food? Then I'll pick it up and you can eat it?"

That one sentence left Shen An'an speechless for a long time.

Seeing Mu Yanxin about to leave with the food, Leng Changqing yelled at the top of his lungs, "Where the hell are you going?"

"The tea flavor is too strong and makes me nauseous. I'll go upstairs to eat!" Mu Yanxin didn't even reply, leaving behind her back as she left.

"Snapped!"

Leng Changqing slammed his hand on the table. "This is fucking inexplicable!"

The sound of a door closing came from upstairs.

Shen An'an looked like she had done something wrong, and was so guilty that she was about to cry. "Brother Changqing, did I come at the wrong time and make Sister Yanxin angry?"

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Leng Changqing couldn't bear to see her wronged, so he put his arm around her waist and said, "Don't overthink it, it has nothing to do with you!"

"Is it because Sister Yanxin doesn't like me that she's like this?" Shen An'an asked pitifully, then turned her head to wipe away her tears.

Leng Changqing was most susceptible to her charm. "Of course not! Our An'an is loved by everyone, and everyone adores her. No one would dislike her!"

These words struck a chord with Shen An'an, who burst into laughter through her tears, snuggling into Leng Changqing's arms and playfully complaining, "Brother Changqing, you're so naughty!"

Leng Changqing wiped away her tears, "Alright, let's ignore her and eat!"

"Ok!"

"This is your favorite food, eat more of it. This is also your favorite food, eat more of it too."

"Okay, I'll eat it!"

The two chatted and laughed, completely ignoring Mu Yanxin upstairs.

Leng Changqing's close relationship with Shen An'an and his deliberate commotion were a form of revenge against Mu Yanxin.

Doesn't she like to see other men? He just wanted to make her angry in front of Mu Yanxin.

Shen An'an appeared close to Mu Yanxin on the surface, but in reality, she was just using her actions to prove to Mu Yanxin that as long as she wanted, she could just beckon to Leng Changqing and he would dote on her and coax her.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yanxin upstairs found it much quieter to eat alone, with no one to disturb her, and her appetite improved considerably.

After finishing her meal, Mu Yanxin didn't want to go downstairs, so she found a book and lay down on the beanbag chair to read.

I had just lay down and opened a book when my phone rang.

Helplessly getting up, Leng Xingchun's image leaps and bounds on the screen.

Why was she calling at this time? Because Leng Xingchun had said she looked familiar last time.

She always subconsciously wanted to keep a proper distance from Leng Xingchun.

After hesitating for a moment, I still answered the call!

"Hey!"

……

After tidying up, she went downstairs and found Shen An'an nestled in Leng Changqing's arms, looking incredibly sweet.

Leng Changqing looked her up and down. "Where the hell are you going?"

Mu Yanxin ignored him and went straight downstairs to the outside.

Dressed like that, she's definitely going on another date with that other guy. Leng Changqing pushed the woman in his arms away, strode over and grabbed Mu Yanxin's arm. "Are you fucking deaf? I'm asking you, where are you going so late?"

Mu Yanxin turned her head and glared at him, "I'm going out for a walk to clear my head, which will give you some space!"

Leng Changqing's face darkened. "You're not allowed to go!"

"Ha!" Mu Yanxin scoffed, "If I don't go, do you expect me to watch you sleep with her?"
