Guan Mufeng was late, and as soon as he arrived, he was dragged by He Feng to punish him for drinking, Qiao Yingying's eyes followed him all the way, and there was a strong attachment and reluctance in his eyes. It's just that when Guan Mufeng walked to her after punishing the wine, these emotions subsided, leaving only the coldness and alienation that he had never had before.

"How's your mother?" he asked.

"It's fine. She nodded, took a few steps forward to Wu Xiaomei's side, and dodged the hand he stretched out to hold her.

Thinking that she came too late made her angry, seeing that her little face was not as smiling as usual, Guan Mufeng apologized in his heart, and he had been gently coaxing her this night.

But Qiao Yingying was always not in a high mood, and she was not even so enthusiastic about eating, in the face of the sumptuous meal prepared by Mi Xue, she only picked some fruits and vegetables and light food, and her favorite meat almost didn't have chopsticks. And when the party was over, she closed her eyes as soon as she got in the car, and seemed to not want to communicate with him at all.

Although she was strange and confused in her heart, thinking that she was tired today, maybe she was tired, Guan Mufeng didn't think deeply, and quietly accompanied her all the way.

"Sir, mom is coming back soon, and I'll move back to Anjiakou Hutong tomorrow. When he arrived at Yushan, Qiao Yingying said to him as soon as he entered the door.

Her expression was cold, and her tone of calm statement was very different from the previous one. Guan Mufeng stared at her quietly, and after being silent for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let Lao Wu send you." ”

"Thank you. Qiao Yingying turned around and walked upstairs, just took a few steps and turned back and said, "I want to sleep in my own room tonight, Mr. doesn't have to wait for me, rest early." ”

After speaking, she went upstairs step by step, watching her back disappear behind the door of the room, Guan Mufeng's heart inexplicably swelled with a trace of uneasiness and irritability, wrapped around his heroic eyebrows, and suppressed it for a long time.

**********************

Back in Anjiakou Hutong, Qiao Yingying locked herself in her room for a few days, and after losing weight, she finally cheered up a little and cleaned herself up again, and then began to go out early and return late every day, and it was difficult to see people.

Wu Xiaomei didn't learn from her parents that she had moved back until more than a week later, and immediately threw her chopsticks and ran over and knocked on the door.

Seeing her, Qiao Yingying subconsciously showed a smile, and the next second she paused again, smiled and said hello lightly.

"Sister Xiaomei, why are you here?"

Wu Xiaomei didn't notice her abnormality, walked straight into the house, looked at the slippery dining table and said, "Why don't you tell me when you come back, have you eaten dinner?"

"No, I've eaten out. Qiao Yingying replied.

Wu Xiaomei nodded, her eyes fell on the beige half-length pleated skirt she was wearing, and she was a little surprised: "I haven't seen you wear such a skirt for a long time, newly bought?"

Qiao Yingying looked down and nodded: "Well, I bought it a few days ago." ”

"It's beautiful, where did you buy it, and you don't call me when you go shopping?" Wu Xiaomei said while looking at her skirt.

Qiao Yingying pursed her lips, and after being silent for a moment, she said, "I bought it with Miao Miao." ”

"Tang Miao?" Wu Xiaomei said in surprise, looking up at her, a little confused, "She wasn't before... It's not."

She didn't finish her words, but Qiao Yingying knew what she meant.

"It's a misunderstanding, she has nothing to do with her husband. She didn't really care.

Wu Xiaomei was still a little uneasy: "This may not matter, but your husband is very attractive, what if she is tempted?"

"Miao Miao is my best friend, she won't do this. Qiao Yingying said in a firm tone, glanced at her and moved her gaze elsewhere, and continued to say with great interest, "In the past few days, she has taken me to a lot of interesting places, all of which are high-end places that ordinary people can't go, Sister Xiaomei, if you are also interested, I will take you to see it with her another day." ”

Best friend? Wu Xiaomei was stunned, so what is she?

"No, I'm not used to those places. She smiled reluctantly, "I'll go back first if there's nothing to do, you can rest early." ”

Qiao Yingying nodded and followed her to see her out.

"I heard He Feng say that Mr. Guan has not been in a good mood recently, although I shouldn't ask more about the things between you, but I still want to remind you that the Cold War will only exacerbate the contradictions, and it is better to say what you are unhappy about. Walking to the door, Wu Xiaomei suddenly remembered something, stopped and turned around and said.

The concern on her face made Qiao Yingying's eyes swell with heat, and she almost broke through the defense line she had built so hard.

"I know, I'll handle it myself. The corners of her mouth bent, her expression still faint.

Wu Xiaomei glanced at her with complicated eyes, turned around and went home.

Watching her back gradually disappear, the moment she closed the door, Qiao Yingying seemed to have been drained of all her strength, slowly sat down against the wall, and stood up again after a long time.

She couldn't choose to retreat, she already owed them a lot, and she had to go on like this until she was done with what she had to do.

From this day on, she changed back to Qiao Yingying's used dress, always wearing various skirts, her black hair was no longer tied up, the waterfall hung down behind her head, and there was always a trace of melancholy between her eyebrows.

***************

In a top beauty club in Haicheng, Tang Miao was waiting for Qiao Yingying in the VIP room. This is the fourth time she has met Qiao Yingying in the past ten days, and every time Qiao Yingying takes the initiative to invite. Such a rare opportunity, even if she already has arrangements, she will turn it down to meet her.

The beautician greeted Qiao Yingying into the VIP room politely, and when she and Tang Miao finished greeting her, they began to introduce the services here, with a friendly smile, patience and enthusiasm, so that people couldn't find a trace of fault.

The brochure in her hand was beautifully made, but Qiao Yingying couldn't arouse any interest, reluctantly listened for a while, and casually clicked on the package content on a page: "That's it." ”

"Okay, let's get ready. Seeing that she ordered the most expensive service with a casual finger, the beautician was very happy, and led them to a beautifully decorated room with a booklet, and went out to prepare what they were going to use.

After Qiao Yingying said a few words to her, she began to look at the small garden outside the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze, but Tang Miao was not angry at all. Because the more she loses her soul like this, the more it means that there will soon be the results she wants to see.

She gently rubbed the coffee cup, curled the corners of her mouth and said, "It's still the happiest when we're together, don't think about anything, just have fun." But you come out so diligently, Mr. Guan has no opinion?"

Hearing her mention Guan Mufeng, Qiao Yingying immediately came back to her senses, smiled hard and said, "He is very busy with work, and it's okay for me to be idle at home, so it's better to come out and relax." ”

"Yes, he's a busy man. Tang Miao said clearly, and got up after speaking, "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

Qiao Yingying nodded, watched her go out, lowered her head again, pursed her lips and didn't know what she was thinking. After a while, a ringtone woke her up from her contemplation, and she turned her head to see that it was Tang Miao's mobile phone ringing.

I didn't have it with me. She thought to herself silently, turning her head to continue in a daze, but suddenly realizing something, she turned back and stared at the screen with big eyes, thinking that she had seen something wrong.

But Tang Miao's mobile phone screen is very clear, and there is no ambiguity in those three words.

Guan Mufeng.

Could it be a typo, or something at work? Reasons flashed through her mind, and it wasn't until the bell stopped for a long time that she remembered that she was no longer qualified to suspect what to worry about.

Her face was even more gloomy, and she desperately wanted to go, but the phone call was always in her heart, making her fidgety and restless.

Tang Miao finally came back, and she almost immediately opened her mouth to remind: "Your phone rang just now." As soon as the words came out, she bit her lip tightly and lowered her eyes.

"Really?" Tang Miao said, picking up her phone and flipping through it. She couldn't help but observe her face with her peripheral vision, and found that her expression was strange for a moment, and her chest suddenly sank.

"Well, it's a work thing, I'll go out and call back. Tang Miao smiled apologetically at her, turned around and walked out the door.

Qiao Yingying looked at her back, and her body had followed before she could react reasonably.

Tang Miao walked around a corner and stood in front of the window at the end of the aisle. She turned her head to see the distance between her and the corner, but it was only two or three meters, and she should be able to hear her voice. She curled the corners of her mouth and dialed the phone number of "Guan Mufeng".

"Mu Feng, are you calling me?

"The night after tomorrow? I probably don't have time. Either I'll make an appointment with you when I'm free. How about I'm in for a treat?"

"Then it's settled. ”

"See you another day. ”

On the other side of the corner, Qiao Yingying leaned against the wall to barely support herself and walked to the room step by step, teardrops the size of beans dripped with her footsteps, smashed on the soft carpet under her feet, and disappeared in an instant.

It was she who pushed her husband away with her own hands, so why should she be sad. Even if Mr. really wants to be with Miao Miao, she should be blessed. She has already endured so much of the kindness he should not have given her, is she still greedy to occupy his heart forever?

A burst of crone cramps spread from the depths of her chest to her whole body, Qiao Yingying trembled sadly, squatted down weakly, and even breathing became difficult, only tears rolled down from her eyes.
