Late at night, it was already past eleven o'clock, and there was no sound around, only the ticking of the clock's hands. Mu Yukai leaned on the back of the sofa and dozed off, his head little by little, but his body was still supporting himself and not falling down. Yu Qinling leaned on her husband's shoulder, already asleep in a daze, suddenly, she woke up, turned her head to look at the clock on the wall, rubbed her eyes, and said vaguely, "Hasn't Xiao Yi come back yet?"

Mu Yukai was awakened by her movements, he sat up straight, glanced at his watch, pulled his mind back from his sleep, sighed, and said, "I'll call him again." ”

"You fight. Yu Qinling looked at her husband worriedly, "Xiao Yi has never come back so late, it's really worrying." ”

Mu Yukai took out his son's phone number and dialed it. At nine o'clock, he called his son, Mu Yi said that he would come back later because he had a party in the evening, but he still hasn't come back. Since Mu Yi came out of the detention center, the couple has been very worried about him, for fear that the experience of the past ten days will leave him with some psychological shadow. During this time, everyone's nerves were too tense to stand anything else. Mu Yukai thought about it, glanced at his wife, and saw that Yu Qinling had two dark circles under her eyes, obviously she hadn't slept well for several nights. He stretched out his hand to hold his wife's hand and gently touched the back of her hand, and at this time the phone was answered, but it was not Mu Yi's voice, but a girl's voice.

Mu Yukai listened carefully and realized that it was the secretary Wu Xingqi. There was some noise on the other end of the phone, and there was someone talking loudly in the background. Wu Xingqi seemed to be busy with something, she asked into the microphone, "Hello?"

"Xiao Wu?" Mu Yukai asked, he couldn't help but become more and more worried, "What about Mr. Xiao Mu?"

"He's drunk!" Wu Xingqi said loudly, "Mr. Mu, I'll send him back with Boss Qian now." ”

"I'll pick him up. Mu Yukai stood up and prepared to put on his coat.

"It's okay!" Wu Xingqi hurriedly said, she was in the mood of inviting merit, while holding Mu Yi's arm and trying to make him stand up, she said, "I'll just send him back with Boss Qian." ”

"Is it convenient for you? What about the old money? You let the old money answer the phone. Mu Yukai said, he gave his anxious wife a comforting look, signaling her not to worry.

There was a squirming sound on the other end of the phone, and soon, Lao Qian's voice came, but his voice was swaying, and he seemed to be drunk, and he shouted in a long voice: "Hey! Lao Mu! Your son is amazing! I haven't drunk it!"

Mu Yukai hurriedly said, "Ouch, why are you drunk?" I'll go over and pick up Mu Yi now, don't let him trouble you." ”

"It's okay!" Lao Qian waved his hand and said proudly, "I'll ask my driver to send him back, don't worry about Lao Mu! Your son is refreshing, I appreciate your demeanor! It will be a big thing in the future!" He smiled happily, and was happy in his heart that Mu Yi had discounted the payment for the goods. He hung up the phone, stuffed the phone back into Wu Xingqi's hand, and commanded the driver, "Come on, Xiao Liu, help Mr. Xiao Mu to the car, be careful, don't fall." ”

Wu Xingqi looked at the two drunk people with a bitter face, shook his head, and struggled to support Mu Yi's body and walked outside. Mu Yi was already drunk and unconscious, and her head leaned softly on her head, tossing and turning. Wu Xingqi had such intimate contact with a boy for the first time, and her face was already red, but at this time, she couldn't care about it so much, Mu Yi was really heavy, especially heavy when she was drunk, she complained in her heart as she walked, why are you so heavy!

Finally helped Mu Yi to the car, Wu Xingqi supported his shoulders and asked him to sit down, and then got into the car and sat next to him. At this time, Lao Qian also got into the car, collapsed on the co-pilot, and smirked to himself, talking drunk. Wu Xingqi turned on Mu Yi's mobile phone and told the driver the address sent by Mu Yukai, and the driver started the engine and drove towards Mu Yi's house. She put the phone back in Mu Yi's pocket, leaned her head against the car window, and looked at the colorful street lights outside the window, feeling a little tired.

In normal times, she would have gone to bed by now. Reasoning is that it is not her turn to accompany her for socializing, let alone so late. But today, Mu Yi's interest was especially high, and he had to take her with him, saying that he wanted her to see the world. At the banquet, he pointed to the heavens and the earth, talked about the present and the past, like a literati who had just been appreciated by the emperor. Where did Wu Xingqi see him like that, he was stunned, and when it was past nine o'clock, she said that she wanted to go back, but Lao Qian was not happy again, saying that she was leaving, so don't do this business, Mu Yi also followed Lao Qian on the side and coaxed her, not letting her go. Fortunately, this group of people just talked about haha, and they were not such frivolous and impetuous people, they took good care of her during the drinking, did not pour her a glass of wine, and persuaded her to eat vegetables. Although Wu Xingqi felt helpless, she also felt fun, and when she saw the other side of Mu Yi, she felt very novel in her heart, so she stayed.

Recalling the scene just now, Wu Xingqi couldn't help laughing. She turned her head to look at Mu Yi, who was asleep on the back of her chair, pondering his thoughts. It's amazing, usually such a cold person, although he talks and does things a little straight, but he has never shown such a lively appearance. If it weren't for getting drunk and getting drunk, Wu Xingqi felt that he would be able to install a rocket launcher on his ass and rush to the sky. She smiled and sighed, shook her head, turned her head and continued to look out the window, the boss's thoughts, if it is really not something that a small employee like her can figure out, they are up and down in the business sea, and they will definitely not easily let people see their true colors, so they will only show it once in a while. Wu Xingqi thought to herself, maybe this is Mu Yi's original character? She couldn't help but gloat in her heart, if Xiao Mu woke up the next day and remembered that he was drunk tonight, he didn't know what he would regret.

The car soon drove to the community where Mu Yi's house was located, and the driver was not familiar with the road in this community, so he went around several circles to find the house number of Mu Yi's house and stopped at the door. Old Qian was already asleep, and the whole person was hanging on his seat belt and was about to slip out. The driver helped Wu Xingqi help Mu Yi out of the car, and said to Mu Yukai and his wife who came out to pick up Mu Yi: "I'll send Boss Qian back first, he has already vomited once, I think he is very uncomfortable." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you. Mu Yukai hurriedly said, he took Mu Yi's arm from Wu Xingqi's hand, helped Mu Yi in with Yu Qinling, and settled Mu Yi to sit down on the sofa, he turned his head and saw Wu Xingqi standing at the door at a loss, as if he wanted to say something.

Seeing Mu Yukai looking at her, Wu Xingqi hurriedly said, "Since Mr. Xiao Mu has been sent back, then I will leave first." ”

"Hey. Yu Qinling hurriedly stopped her, turned her head and glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already twelve o'clock, "Let Lao Mu send you back, it's so late, you are not safe as a girl." ”

"No, no, no!" Wu Xingqi hurriedly waved his hand and refused, asking Mr. Mu to send her back, she felt that she could live for several years, "I'll just go back myself." ”

"It's okay!" Yu Qinling said, "or you will stay at my house for one night." It's already very troublesome for you to send Xiaoyi back so late, and then let you go back alone, where can we rest assured. ”

"No need—" Before Wu Xingqi's words fell, Yu Qinling had already pulled her in and closed the door behind her. Wu Xingqi refused no, nor did he agree, standing at the door more and more helpless.

Yu Qinling turned her head and said to her husband: "Let's carry Xiao Yi upstairs first, it's so late, let's let him sleep first." After speaking, she smiled at Wu Xingqi again, "Xiao Wu, you come up too." ”

Wu Xingqi followed Mu Yukai and Yu Qinling upstairs, she watched them put Mu Yi on the bed, cleaned up briefly, and then came out and closed the door. Mu Yukai smiled at Wu Xingqi, then turned around and went back to the bedroom, while Yu Qinling took her arm and said with a smile: "Come, you sleep in this room first." She pushed Wu Xingqi into a guest room in the corner, which was where Lin Yansheng had originally stayed, "Do you need anything?" Auntie will bring it to you. ”

"No need, no need!" Wu Xingqi hurriedly shook his hand and said, with a restrained and shy smile on his face.

Yu Qinling smiled and nodded, she glanced back at her son's room, and seemed to be a little hesitant, "Xiao Wu, do you know why Xiao Yi drinks so much at night?" She frowned slightly, looking a little worried, "He drinks poorly, and he rarely drinks, is there any other reason for being like this today?"

Wu Xingqi looked at the kind middle-aged woman in front of him, pursed his lips, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, I feel that Mr. Xiao Mu seems to be not the same as before in the past two days, and I don't know what happened." ”

Yu Qinling sighed, seeming a little disappointed, she smiled reluctantly and said, "Okay, you go and rest." ”

Wu Xingqi watched Yu Qinling turn around and walk towards the other end of the corridor, she was very puzzled, she sensed that something should have happened to Mu Yi, otherwise he would not be as abnormal as tonight. But it didn't have much to do with her, she was just a small employee under him. Thinking of this, Wu Xingqi took a deep breath, turned around and walked into the house, the space of the room was quite spacious, at least much more than the bedroom she rented, in such a strange room, she felt more and more restrained. Why don't you go home and sleep, she thought to herself.

After a night of sleep, she woke up several times, and finally it was dawn, she jumped out of bed, freshened up at will, picked up her coat and went outside. As soon as she opened the door, Mu Yi's face suddenly burst into her eyes, startling her.

Mu Yi was also taken aback, and he looked at her in shock for several seconds before he reacted. Almost immediately, his brow furrowed, his eyes full of displeasure, and he asked fiercely, "Why are you here?"

Wu Xingqi snorted a few times and said, "I sent you back too late last night, and my aunt asked me to sleep here for one night." ”

Mu Yi looked at her, a little distracted, as if he was thinking about last night's experience, but he couldn't remember anything, so he had to say in annoyance: "Okay." ”

Wu Xingqi looked at him cautiously and asked, "Are you—better?"

Mu Yi answered absentmindedly, turned around and walked downstairs. Wu Xingqi hurriedly followed him downstairs and said, "Then I'll go back first, you talk to Mr. Mu." ”

"Hmm. Mu Yi didn't look at her, and sat down at the dining table. Aunt He was busy in the kitchen, when she heard a noise, she stretched out half of her head and was about to say that breakfast was about to be ready, but she was stunned when she saw a strange girl following Mu Yi downstairs.

"Hello Auntie. When Wu Xingqi saw Aunt He, he hurriedly greeted with a smile. Aunt He didn't react, nodded instinctively in accordance with her greeting, and watched Wu Xingqi push open the door and walk out, only then did she come back to her senses.

"Oh my God. She sighed in her heart and hurriedly retracted to the kitchen, "Young people now. She shook her head, thinking of Lin Yansheng, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic, I don't know if Lin Yansheng will lose his temper if he knows about this, but according to what he knows about her, he shouldn't. Aunt He had never seen Lin Yansheng lose her temper, except for that time. Thinking of this, Aunt He pursed her lips and sighed, what a good girl, she was ruined by others.

Mu Yi sat sullenly at the dining table, staring at the tablecloth in a daze. He had already woken up, and the discomfort of the drunkenness did not allow him to sleep soundly. For a moment after waking up, he felt that time was still stuck in the time when the incident had not happened, Lin Yansheng was still living in the room next to him, and the two respected each other like guests and enjoyed each other. The ghost sent the gods, he got out of bed and walked to the door of Lin Yansheng's room, wondering if she had gotten up at this time. If it weren't for Wu Xingqi suddenly opening the door, he would have pushed the door in. After receiving the certificate, he often carried out surprise attacks like this, which made Lin Yansheng blush and had nothing to do with him. Wu Xingqi's appearance shattered his illusion, he came back from his trance, and then remembered that Lin Yansheng had moved away, and the relationship between them was like a broken mirror, it was no longer what it used to be. When he recalled it, he felt even more uncomfortable, and with a headache and dry mouth, he felt like a bird in the desert, with no strength and no water source, and was about to be dried by the blazing sun. When Aunt He brought breakfast to him, he was still lying on the table and immersed in pain, and she called him several times before he came back to his senses.

"Auntie. He looked at her, and his face was very ugly.

"Ouch, what's wrong?" Aunt He was taken aback by his face, "Sick?" She put her hand on Mu Yi's forehead and muttered, "No, why is your face so bad." ”

"It's okay, I didn't sleep well last night. Mu Yi said, picked up the spoon and wanted to drink two sips of porridge to press the churning wine in his stomach, but he had no appetite at all, the porridge was brought to his mouth, and he threw it into the bowl in annoyance, and a few drops of porridge were splashed on his hands, and he didn't feel hot.

Aunt He shook her head quietly and turned back to the kitchen. She instinctively felt that something must have happened between Mu Yi and Lin Yansheng, otherwise he had always been not afraid of heaven and earth, where had he been so decadent.

It didn't take long for Mu Yukai and Yu Qinling to walk down from the upstairs wrapped in nightgowns. Aunt He hurriedly leaned out, beckoned to Yu Qinling, and told her what she saw in the morning. Yu Qinling heard that she had misunderstood Wu Xingqi, smiled helplessly, and explained to her what happened, Aunt He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "What did I think, it turned out to be like this." Then, she said to Yu Qinling worriedly, "I see that Mu Yi's face is very bad, didn't he quarrel with Yan Sheng?"

When Yu Qinling heard this, he immediately frowned, and said worriedly: "I don't know, he was so drunk last night, where did he get so drunk." I'll ask later, and see what's going on. After speaking, she turned around and walked out of the kitchen, sat down next to her son, turned her head to look at Mu Yi's expression, and saw that his face was really bad, and she couldn't help but be more worried.

"Xiao Yi. She said, sending a mouthful of food to her mouth, trying to pretend that she didn't care about anything, "How is Yan Sheng doing in the past two days?

Hearing Lin Yansheng's name, Mu Yi trembled, his expression was hard, and he said in a stiff tone: "Look, it's good." ”

Mu Yukai glanced at his son, then at his wife, and continued to bow his head to eat.

Looking at her son's expression, Yu Qinling didn't believe his words, she hesitated for a while, threw down her chopsticks, and asked, "Xiaoyi, what happened, you tell your mother." ”

"Nothing happened. Mu Yi lowered his head and pounded the porridge in the bowl with a spoon.

"Nonsense, you think Mom can't see it? Didn't happen that you were so drunk last night?"

At this time, Mu Yukai raised his head and looked at his son.

Mu Yi stopped talking, he sighed heavily, and stopped what he was doing.

"We—" he paused and said with difficulty, "we're separated." ”

"What?" both looked at him in surprise and asked in unison, "What did you say?"

Mu Yi glanced at his parents and repeated, "We are separated. ”

"How could this be?" Yu Qinling hurriedly said, "Wasn't it all fine before?

"It was her decision. Mu Yi threw down the spoon, leaned back in his chair, and raised his hand to press it on his temple.

Yu Qinling wanted to speak and stopped, thought for a while, and then said: "Is there any misunderstanding between you? Mom knows that what she said to Yan Sheng that day was a bit heavy, so Mom went to explain to her." You two have been together for so many years, how can you say that you are separated?"

"Mom, it's none of your business. Mu Yi said, he felt that the big stone pressing on his heart was getting heavier and heavier, and he was almost out of breath, "There is no misunderstanding between us, as for the reason - now that we are separated, it is useless to say that." ”

"Why is it useless?" Mu Yukai seemed to remember something, and asked, "You both have received your certificates, how can it be so easy to divide them." ”

Mu Yi glanced at his father and said, "Leave." ”

"Left?" Yu Qinling stood up, "No, how can you be like this? How can marriage be such a child's play?" I'll go to Yan Sheng to talk about it." With that, she turned to leave.

"Mom!" Mu Yi stopped her and said, "Don't go looking for her, so be it." ”

Yu Qinling wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mu Yukai, and he said, "You calm down and listen to your son." She glared at her husband angrily, reluctantly sat back in her seat, and looked at her son worriedly.

"There's not much to say. Mu Yi took his hand away from his temple, "In life, it's normal to divide and merge. ”

"Do you think your mother will believe you?" Look at what your own face has become?" Yu Qinling was heartbroken, "I know that you are all very uncomfortable when that incident happened, but it is not your fault, things will always pass, why bother to make such a fuss?"

Mu Yi pushed away the chair and stood up, frowned and said, "Mom and Dad, this is my business with her, you don't care." I went to the company first. With that, he turned away from the table and went upstairs.

"You see, you see. Yu Qinling slapped the table a few times, and turned her head away in annoyance.

Mu Yukai didn't speak, he continued to drink porridge, took a few sips, and suddenly said, "Let's leave it alone, let them go by themselves." ”

"Listen, is this what Daddy said?" Yu Qinling said, "We can't let them mess around like this. ”

"What else can you do?" Mu Yukai said, "Do you still want to break the heads of the two of them and force them back together?" Xiao Yi is a stubborn person, and Yan Sheng's child is also very stubborn, we can't do anything." ”

"Nor can it be left to them. Yu Qinling was still unwilling, and said sullenly.

"We are not the parties, where do we know what they feel in their hearts. Yan Sheng's matter is not a trivial matter, even if we treat her well and show that we don't mind, but where can a girl's mind be so easily turned back?" Mu Yukai said, sighing, "She is very strong, I think she has made up her mind to separate." ”

Although Yu Qinling didn't want to echo her husband's words, she didn't feel unreasonable. After thinking about it for a long time, she sighed, "Then what do you say you are going to do?" ”

"According to me, let's leave it alone, let the children take care of their own affairs. Mu Yukai paused slightly, and then said, "I have to talk to Lao Lin about this matter." ”

"They're so far apart, and now that they're talking, they won't be able to come back at once. ”

"You can't hide it from them. Mu Yukai said, "After all, it's a family matter, let's not do it all over the place, say it earlier, they know, and they won't blame us in the future." Besides, how can a daughter have such a thing, and the father and mother are still playing outside. ”

"You have a point. Yu Qinling frowned and said, "Then how do you tell them? I'm afraid that it will irritate them by saying it directly." ”

"You don't care about that, I'll just do it. After Mu Yukai finished speaking, he took another sip of porridge and shouted to the kitchen, "Xiaohe, why is this porridge so light today, there is no saltiness at all, and I can't drink it if it is cooked thicker tomorrow." ”

"You know how to eat. Yu Qinling glared at him, stood up, turned and went upstairs.
