guest of honor

By the time the shareholders' meeting ended, the sun was already setting.Qin Mu looked sideways at the setting sun outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, like a handful of blood spilled on the sky, which couldn't make people feel the slightest warmth.

Almost everyone in the office has left.Only him, and He Minghan, who was slumped in the armchair, were left.

"Qin Mu, you did it beautifully." He Minghan wiped the hair on his head and mocked, "Who gave you that?"

Qin Mu still looked out of the window, leaving him with a lonesome and desolate back, and said in a cold voice: "I'm working in Yuanyang, and it's just the minutes of the meeting. Is there anything I can't find?"

He Minghan held his breath in his chest: This is what he said just now.When he tried to blame Qin Mu for failing to negotiate with Yuanyang on the Dingsheng film project, he tried his best to accuse Qin Mu of privately granting the real financial situation of Daishan Culture to Ye Li. After all, he worked for Yuanyang , "Is there something he can't find"?

Now, Qin Mu returned the words to him originally.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be able to sit still." Qin Mu sneered, "It's hard for you to listen to the end, but your life may be difficult in the future. Those capitalist partners can't spit out their bones. Yes, you wanted to let the dog bite someone, but you didn't expect to be bitten back, right?"

"Qin Mu, misfortune comes from your mouth, you'd better watch your mouth carefully." He Minghan said darkly.

"No one should understand this sentence better than you."

As he spoke, Qin Mu escaped from his pocket, called up the audio file Ye Li had sent him, and turned on the audio file.

He Minghan stood up angrily when he heard his own voice coming from the stereo, and shouted, "Where did you get this thing?!"

"Uncle He, you should know that I have done you a great deal of face by not releasing it at the shareholders' meeting." Qin Mu gave him a cold look, then took back the phone, "I'll just treat it as a repayment to you." Maintain my relationship with my mother at my father's funeral. But that matter, I will still pursue it to the end. "

Suddenly, he smiled mysteriously, and said sinisterly: "Even if it is because of this, I don't want you to leave Daishan culture, do you think so?"

"This audio." He Minghan raised his hand and pointed at Qin Mu's phone tremblingly, "Who gave it to you? Ye Li, or Ye Jingsheng?"

Qin Mu didn't speak.

"Qin Mu, I'll tell you this sentence for the last time, listen to me!" He Minghan narrowed his eyes, "I didn't kill your father, someone else killed Qin Wenchuan. If you continue to be so ignorant , Be careful of being used as a gun."

After all, he walked away.

And Qin Mu clenched his fist tighter and tighter.He closed his eyes, and seemed to see the bloody mourning hall again, and the big bright red flower blooming on Qin Wenchuan's chest...

Ye Li's missed calls are still in his call log, only one call.

Qin Mu lowered his head and held the phone, his body slowly descended with the elevator, and his heart fell with him.

He knows that he is too young to cultivate his cronies in the company, and it is impossible for him to play He Minghan and other company shareholders with evil intentions on his own; most of Qin Wenchuan's remaining people are not convinced by him. ——But, this was before today.

Ye Li helped him and let him severely frustrate He Minghan in front of all the shareholders.

But why did he help him out of his heart?Qin Mu couldn't see that this was beneficial to Ye Li.What's more, shouldn't the current Ye Li avoid him...

Qin Mu suddenly had an illusion: maybe Ye Li didn't know about his passionate kiss at all.Even knowing that the probability of this is very small, Qin Mu unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, lowered his head and flicked the phone screen back and forth seriously.

Just seeing Ye Li's missed call made him feel very warm, and he was reluctant to call back for a while.

When passing through the company lobby, Qin Mu suddenly felt a gaze fall on him.He looked around for half a circle, and without any effort, he saw the man sitting on the leather sofa in the corner.

Ye Li was also holding the phone.The moment his eyes met, he smiled and waved.

For a moment, it seemed like a lifetime away.

"Uncle..."

Seeing Qin Mu approaching him, Ye Li smiled narrowly: "Did you make things difficult for me?"

He was referring to the matter at the shareholders meeting, Qin Mu shook his head: "Secretary Zhang came just in time."

In fact, as soon as the shareholders' meeting started, He Minghan directly attacked him.At that time, he couldn't explain it, seeing a group of men in suits and leather shoes chattering like a swarm of mosquitoes, all of them glanced at him coldly, wishing to suck his blood to make up for his loss.

Until Secretary Zhang appeared in the corridor, handed over the documents to him, and reminded him to check his emails—the shock and touch at that moment were beyond words.Ye Li helped him get out of the predicament, the hand stretched out on the edge of the cliff is always the most powerful and warmest.

He couldn't stop himself from holding.

"Go," Ye Li put his hand on his shoulder and pushed gently, "I'll take you home."

Qin Mu's body shook slightly, and he held that hand in his palm: "Thank you, uncle."

Ye Li smiled and asked, "How can you thank me?"

Qin Mu thought for a while: "Can you stay at my house for dinner tonight?"

"I want to repay me with just one meal, isn't it too cheap?"

Qin Mu glanced at his tightly clenched hands calmly, and his suppressed heartbeat almost burst into his chest: "I will listen to you from now on, okay?"

Ye Li gave him a white look: "Then you can no longer be absent from work without reason."

"……it is good."

In fact, he is more reluctant to be absent from work than anyone else, even if he doesn't get any points, he still wants to sit by Ye Li's side and do whatever he wants.

Qin Mu lowered his eyes, worried that Ye Li would see the black swirls in his eyes, and the intense and unbearable feelings buried in them.

Ligongdi No. [-] on that day was more like home than any other day in Qin Mu's memory.

Although it was only him and Ye Li, just having dinner face to face made people feel very comfortable.Ye Li rested his chin on one hand, holding the chopsticks to pick shredded shallots, it was clear that it was a plate of fried mutton with green onions...

Seeing that he was eating too slowly, Qin Mu couldn't help saying, "Uncle, you're picky."

"Yes." Ye Li took it for granted, lowered his eyes and continued to do his fine work, "I don't eat onion, ginger, garlic, chili, green pepper, bell pepper, leek, coriander, day lily, wood ear mushroom, crab mushroom..."

Qin Mu said in his heart, don't live with your stomach pricked.Seeing Ye Li pick out a shiitake mushroom from the bowl in disgust, Qin Mu stretched out his chopsticks: "Don't give it to me."

It's not that he likes to eat it, it's just that he picks it from Ye Li's bowl, he likes this kind of intimacy.

"This is not good..." Before Ye Li finished speaking, the mushroom had already been picked up by Qin Mu.He stared at Qin Mu as he put the mushroom into his mouth, Qin Mu looked at him innocently and blinked.

Ye Li quickly lowered his eyes.

He understands what Qin Mu means, but this kind of liking is more like a child's heart, he can't be serious with a child.Helping Qin Mu was something he was willing to do and felt obliged to do.Qin Mu would be grateful afterwards, which is naturally good, but Ye Li did not expect to exchange his kindness for Qin Mu's gratitude at first.

At least for now, he doesn't have to do that.

After the meal, Qin Mu leaned on the sofa to read a book, while Ye Li propped up his back and walked around the living room, doing stretching exercises with his head raised, and kept complaining that Qin Mu's cooking was so delicious that he ate too much.Qin Mu didn't say a word, hid behind the book and stared at him quietly, slandering your old man for eating too much cat food?

Ye Li stood in front of the window, continuing his post-dinner exercise.

The floor-to-ceiling windows of Ligongdi No. [-] face Dushu Lake. The wide water surface is quiet and waveless, like a piece of flawless black jade, reflecting the solemn night of Jiangzhou.Across the bank is a bustling business district, brightly lit day and night, a Ferris wheel towering over the water, watching the hustle and bustle of the world and the tranquility of the other side in a romantic and innocent manner in the quiet sky.

Qin Mu closed the book and quietly looked at the figure standing in front of the window.Ye Li was wearing white casual clothes, like a dishonest feline, stretching his slender limbs lazily and gracefully...

It would be great if everything could stop here.

"Uncle, we only have one quilt at home."

"impossible."

"There is really only one quilt." Qin Mu said innocently, and opened all the wardrobe doors in the master bedroom.

Ye Li gritted his teeth: "What about the guest room?" As he said that, he went to pull the door of the guest room. He never thought that it was locked behind him, "The key!"

Qin Mu followed behind him unhurriedly: "The key is with the housekeeper."

"What about the butler?"

"To France with my mother."

Ye Li leaned against the door with his arms in his arms coldly: "Then why do you let me stay overnight?"

Qin Mu: "My bed is very big."

Ye Li directly refused: "I'm not used to sharing a bed with others, thank you."

"Uncle, you promised me everything."

Ye Lixin said how old you are, do you still want to act like a baby with me?But looking at Qin Mu's dark and watery eyes, he still couldn't bear to say the heavy words: "I have bad habits when I sleep, I'm afraid you won't be able to adapt."

"Are you snoring, grinding your teeth, drooling?"

"...No." Sorry, he really didn't want to accept these settings.

Qin Mu smiled: "It's okay, even if you snore, grind your teeth and drool, I can accept it."

"..." The key is that I don't snore, grind my teeth, or drool!Ye Li was slightly frantic in his heart, but still maintained a serious face: "Qin Mu, think clearly, this room can only sleep one person tonight."

Acting like a baby didn't work, Qin Mu was defeated, and curled up on the chaise longue in the living room with a blanket in his arms.The heart said that the way of heaven is reincarnation, who will the sky spare?Taking advantage of Ye Li's inattention, he locked the door of the guest bedroom and threw the keys and bedding out of the window. He really didn't expect Ye Li to be so ruthless as to let him sleep on the sofa...

The chaise longue was too short to accommodate his legs, and Qin Mu began to miss the KINGSIZE bed in the master bedroom—it really was his own doing.He hugged the blanket and twisted it left and right seven or eight times. He couldn't fall asleep until the clock struck in the early morning. He simply stood up and climbed up to the master bedroom on the second floor, knocking on the door cautiously: "Uncle?"

There was no sound in the room, but a little light leaked from the crack in the door.

Qin Mu pressed the doorknob and found that it was not locked, so he opened the door silently.

The man buried in the quilt turned his back, and the bedside lamp was still on, illuminating the path under his feet, as if welcoming his "unexpected" visit.

At this time, Qin Mu understood what Ye Li meant by "bad habits".

But he didn't investigate the reason why Ye Li was afraid of the dark, but used this weakness to attract Ye Li to approach him proactively——Qin Mu turned off the bedside lamp on Ye Li's side, then turned on the bed, and lit the one closest to him. lights……

Ye Li, who was sleeping, groaned sadly, turned over, wrapped in a quilt, and slowly but firmly leaned on Qin Mu's body, like a moth absorbing the light.

Qin Mu held his breath.He opened his arms and carefully hugged Ye Li tightly into his arms.The beating of the heart rate was almost trembling, and the tenderness at that moment made him believe that no one would make his heart beat like this in his long life.

At that time, Qin Mu never imagined that it would be his last night sleeping on his big bed—if he knew, he might stay in bed for a while.

The next morning, Qin Mu was woken up by a flick of a finger, and then kicked on his knee: "Why are you here?!"

Ye Li gritted his teeth, his face was still red like he just woke up from a dream.

Qin Mu opened his eyes and saw such a beautiful scenery, he couldn't even care about the pain for a while, and he raised his head and wanted to kiss Ye Li's forehead, but he was pressed into the pillow with his paw: "get out of bed, do it for me Let's go!"

Oh, it's not "Get out of here" or "Go to hell", but "Cook for me"——Qin Mu felt that he could give first aid.He reluctantly got off the bed, and explained innocently while putting on his pants: "Uncle, I didn't do anything to you last night. The sofa in the living room was too crowded to sleep on, so I really couldn't sleep before I went upstairs."

Ye Li growled: "Then why am I in your arms?!"

After speaking, both Ye Li and Qin Mu were taken aback.The former was furious, picked up the pillow and threw it out, but the latter dodged it: "Then I don't know, uncle..."

"Who the fuck is your uncle?!"

"Oh, after all, we've shared the same bed before, so we're going to sleep on our feet, shall we sleep on our feet?"

Okay, okay you big headed ghost!Ye Li glared angrily, Qin Mu smiled like a cat stealing fish, the more he looked at it, the more it became an eyesore.As for Qin Mu himself burst out laughing after he left, it is unknown why.

Breakfast is fruit salad, steamed buns and purple rice porridge.

Qin Mu raised his eyes to look at Ye Li every time he took a bite, and the latter insisted that the situation was calm, and he didn't want to understand how things developed so quickly to the current situation.

Obviously, he has been careful to keep a distance from Qin Mu, and he has become farther and farther away...but because of a favor he helped from "being troublesome", Qin Mu rekindled his feelings that should not have been there.

But it would be impossible for Ye Li to give up Qin Mu easily—or the 10% of the shares held by Qin Mu.

So maybe everything is doomed?Ye Li sighed.

Qin Mu raised his head sharply: "Why are you sighing?"

Ye Li drooped his eyes and stirred the purple rice porridge: "Because I want to open it."

Qin Mu thought about it, and asked: "What do you want to drive?"

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly.Qin Mu didn't move like a mountain, but Ye Li glanced at the entrance: "Aren't you going to open the door?"

"It's just express delivery, don't worry." Qin Mu frowned, "Uncle, what do you want to deliver?"

Ye Li saw his abnormality.Qin Mu, who is usually thoughtful and steady, would actually leak emotions similar to irritability because of an unknown delivery?Ye Li pushed away the chair and stood up, and asked in a deep voice, "How do you know it's a courier?"

Qin Mu had no choice but to open the door in front of Ye Li.The one standing outside the door was indeed a courier guy, with a cardboard box lying under his feet: "Handsome guy, sign here."

After the courier left, Ye Li knelt down and opened the box himself.But Qin Mu didn't stop him, but squatted down together and watched quietly.After seeing the picture with bloodstains and the note covered with threatening words, Qin Mu didn't show any special expression.

He just held Ye Li's hand and said calmly: "Don't touch those things, dirty."

Ye Lifan held his hand: "How long have you received these things?"

"I have been receiving them one after another since my father's death." Qin Mu didn't take it seriously, "Luo Haoyuan is already looking into it, but it's just some villain's means. Think it can scare me? Tsk tsk."

"Why are they sending you these things?"

This time, Qin Mu was silent for a moment: "Maybe, it's because of what happened on the day of the funeral."

On that day, many shareholders of Daishan Culture were forced to transfer their own shares, and many forces lurking in the shadows were uprooted—Ye Li has always wondered how Qin Mu, who was underage at the time, did it ?

But no matter how successful he was, those he ousted still expressed their impotent hatred in despicable ways.

Ye Li asked: "Have you thought about moving?"

"Forget it," Qin Mu vaguely realized that there was something in Ye Li's words, and asked passively, "Where can I move?"

"You can... borrow and live at my house."

The young man with downcast eyes suddenly raised his eyes, smiling like a flower, unable to hide his surprise.If Ye Li was still hesitating a moment ago, seeing Qin Mu's sincere joy now, all his worries disappeared.

Let's leave things for later.At this moment, this person in this scene is the joy within his reach, which has surpassed the hasty time of more than ten years in the past.
