Chapter 159: She stretched out her two small hands, tentatively, to hold the man's face.
Mrs. Mu didn't see Mu Ziyang coming down, she was a little strange, and asked the maid on the side: "Where is Ziyang?" Why didn't it come out? Where are the people? β
Before the servant could answer, Scarlet hurriedly said, "Ziyang said that he ate outside." β
Mrs. Mu frowned when she heard this. This kid, is it to avoid scarlet hearts?
"Let's eat......" Mu Yan spoke.
Dinner was quickly on the table.
There are no special rules for the Mu family to eat, and there is no food to abide by.
During the meal, the second master sandwiched the dishes for Scarlet Heart, and his voice was quite stern: "No picky eaters!" ι"
Mu Yan frowned at such a scene, his eyes flashed.
With a bitter face, he swallowed the dish that the second master had brought over.
"Little thing, don't like it so much?"
She glanced at the second master: "I don't like it." β
The second master looked at her reluctant little face, hooked his lips and smiled: "Didn't you say you wanted to go to work before?" The second uncle has arranged it for you, and you can go to work tomorrow. β
Scarlet Xin was very happy to hear this, her big black and bright eyes flashed with excitement, and she asked again and again: "Really, really?" Second uncle is the best! β
She was so excited that she couldn't wait to rush away, hug her second uncle fiercely, and thank her second uncle!
The second master looked at her happy appearance, and his heart was also very satisfied.
"Since you don't want the second uncle to keep it." The man still had a deep face indifferent, and said lightly: "If you want to go to work, just work hard, don't go for two days, and come back to cry to the second uncle." β
Scarlet was not convinced when she heard this, and muttered: "No, I will work hard and hard, and I will not embarrass the second uncle." β
Mrs. Mu smiled: "I don't know that the second master arranged a job for Scarlet Heart, I should have bought a few sets of formal clothes for Scarlet Heart, we wore Scarlet Heart, it must look good." β
"Auntie! What are you talking about! Being praised like this, Scarlet was a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Mu laughed at her: "What's there to be shy about, Scarlet Xin bought a red dress and skirt today, it must be beautiful to wear." Speaking of which, in the past, red maple also liked to wear red, and the scarlet heart wore that kind of red, maybe it would be a little similar to the red maple. β
The words fell.
The atmosphere in the restaurant changed in an instant.
It's as if the last second was still spring, and the next second it became a cold winter wax moon.
Mu Yan didn't interject all the time, and when Mrs. Mu mentioned Hongfeng, her face sank suddenly, and she stopped Mrs. Mu: "Don't say it." β
Mrs. Mu was shocked that she had said the wrong thing, and her hand holding the chopsticks froze there, she looked at Second Master Mu with an embarrassed expression, her lips were buzzing, and she wanted to say something, she opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to speak: "Murong ......"
In this family, no one has mentioned this name for a long time.
When he heard the name Hongfeng, Mu Erye's eyebrows furrowed, twisted into a terrifying "Chuan" character, and exuded a terrifying aura all over his body.
Scarlet sat next to him, and naturally felt it.
She looked at the eldest uncle and eldest aunt strangely, and her eyes fell on the second master.
The expression on the second master's face was very indifferent, and a pair of black eyes were like bottomless gloom, cold and terrifying.
It seems that as long as you look at him at this time, you will fall into the abyss and be crushed.
Red Maple, who is it?
Scarlet doesn't know what they're talking about.
But such a second master made her a little scared and unaccustomed.
She stretched out her hand from under the table, gently pulled the second master's clothes, and whispered to him: "Second uncle, second uncle!" β
"Huh?"
Mu Erye's eyelids were lifted slightly, his sexy thin lips were slightly hooked, his expression had returned to normal, the corners of his lips were smiling, and his dark eyes looked at Scarlet Heart with a smile, as if the terrible expression just now did not appear on his face, "What's wrong?" Eat quickly. β
"Oh." Scarlet obediently obedient and eat.
But I was muttering in my heart: Who is Red Maple?
The person who made the second uncle show such an expression.
How had she never heard of this person?
"Eat, eat!"
Mrs. Mu knew that she had lost her words and wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only say these two sentences dryly.
This dinner was spent in such a quirky atmosphere.
After eating, Mu Erye even forgot to ask Wang Mu's mother to warm a glass of milk for Scarlet as usual.
Just pulling out the chair, the man opened his legs and walked straight upstairs.
ββ¦β¦ Two...... Uncle. Scarlet wanted to call his name, but as soon as the words came out, he found that the second master was not listening at all.
Scarlet Heart was a little frustrated, for so long, the second uncle had never ignored her like this.
I felt a little uncomfortable.
The maid is cleaning up the things on the table.
Mu Yan and Mrs. Mu also prepared to leave the table.
Scarlet got up, followed behind Mrs. Mu, and reached out to pull Mrs. Mu's clothes.
Mrs. Mu stopped and looked at Scarlet Heart in surprise: "Scarlet Heart, what's the matter?" β
Seeing that Mu Yan had already walked away, Scarlet asked Mrs. Mu in a low voice: "Auntie, who is that red maple you said at dinner just now?" β
Mrs. Mu's face turned slightly pale when she heard this, her face stiffened, and she smiled perfunctorily: "No one! I just said it nonsense. β
"Really?" Scarlet looked at Mrs. Mu suspiciously, obviously not believing it.
She has a tattoo on her shoulder, in the shape of a red maple leaf.
Bright red as blood.
She knew that.
Scarlet Heart touched his left shoulder: "Auntie, I have a red maple leaf tattoo on my shoulder, does it have anything to do with this?" β
She herself doesn't know why she has this inexplicable tattoo, it stands to reason, with her own temperament. She wouldn't want to get a tattoo on herself.
"Ah, is it? Do you have a tattoo on your body? It's a coincidence. β
Mrs. Mu's eyes wandered, and she didn't want to talk to Scarlet about it anymore, "Don't ask, it's not a big deal." β
Red maple.
Red maple leaf tattoo.
I always feel suspicious, but the two have something to do with it.
"But auntie, you mentioned Red Maple, you must know who she is, don't you?" Scarlet is very stubborn.
This name made the second uncle's face change when he heard it.
In her mind, the second uncle should be a man whose face did not change when Taishan collapsed in front of him, how could he hear a thing that was not a big deal and show such an expression.
She minded.
Scarlet stared at Mrs. Mu, her eyes were very firm: "Auntie, sue me." β
Seeing her so persistent, Mrs. Mu sighed and said in a low voice: "I don't know much about this, and I can't tell you, this is the Mu family's business, if you want to know, ask the second master yourself to see if he will sue you." β
Ask the second uncle?
Scarlet subconsciously looked in the direction where the second master had left just now.
Do you want to ask?
asked, will the second uncle say it?
Go ahead and ask.
β¦β¦
Scarlet asked the maid and knew that the second master went back to his room.
She walked to the door of the second master's room.
Stand still and don't knock on the door right away.
She was a little nervous, this was the first time she came to the second master's room.
And.
The terrifying expression of the second uncle just now was still imprinted in her mind.
Hongfeng should be a taboo that cannot be touched.
Otherwise, when the eldest aunt spoke just now, the uncle would not have stopped her like that.
What made her even more concerned was that for so long, she really, she had never seen such a gentle and considerate second uncle show such an expression in front of her.
Took a deep breath. The little scarlet hand rubbed his cheek and calmed down his feelings.
before raising his hand.
There was a knock on the door.
Knock Knock Knock -
No one replied.
Scarlet frowned, put her little hand on the doorknob, swirled, and the door opened.
There were no lights on in the room.
The light is dim.
The mature man's room is very simple, with a large bed, a chair, a table, and a wardrobe, and nothing else.
Mu Erye sat on the chair by the window, his tall body almost melted into the darkness, and he could only see a hazy silhouette.
He held a cigarette in his hand, his hand rested on the arm of the chair, his five fingers hanging down casually, and the flame of the smoke was bright and extinguished, illuminating the man's fingertips.
Such a man looks sexy and decadent, with his mature vicissitudes of life.
"Second uncle."
Scarlet stood at the door, I don't know why, looking at such a second uncle, she was a little distressed.
She called him timidly, but the man didn't answer, she pursed her lips, walked a little closer, and raised her voice slightly: "Second uncle......"
At this moment, the man heard her calling him.
He slowly raised his eyes and stared at her faintly.
At this moment, he looked at her with a strange look, not a strangeness to her.
It was himself, caught in a kind of confusion and unaware.
The man's eyes were as black as the night, and he looked so indifferent as if he had lost his soul.
Empty, sad.
When Scarlet Heart touched his expression, his heart ached suddenly.
It took five or six seconds for Second Master Mu to come back to his senses, he smiled gently, and said in a low voice: "It's Xiao Scarlet Heart." β
"Second uncle." Scarlet walked over slowly and stood in front of him, bowing her head slightly.
She originally wanted to ask about the person named Hongfeng, but she saw the second uncle's expression.
She suddenly felt that she shouldn't ask, and she always felt that she had asked.
You'll know something terrible.
She stood in front of him.
The man is tall, even if he sits in a chair, and he is about the same height as a little woman.
The little woman bit her pink lip and wanted to say something, but on such an occasion, it seemed that it was not good to say anything.
She plucked up her courage and spit out words from her small mouth, wanting to comfort her: "Second uncle, don't be sad. β
As soon as these words came out, Mu Er Ye lifted his eyelids and slowly swept over her delicate little face.
The gaze was a little complicated, and I couldn't tell what it meant.
Scarlet Heart was a little embarrassed to be looked at like this by the second master, and he wanted to bite off his tongue.
What "Second Uncle, don't be sad." β
The second uncle didn't say that he was sad, and she hadn't decided whether the second uncle was sad or not, or what he was sad about.
It's all my own speculation, so I just said it nonsense.
It's miserable, the second uncle shouldn't think she's nosy.
There has always been only the second uncle who manages her and teaches her part, when will she be replaced by a fat man who slaps her face and says this kind of comforting thing to the second uncle.
Second uncle, he should be omnipotent.
Is there anything that can make the second uncle ,...... So sad?
In the dim night, the man's low and deep voice was slightly hoarse, very sexy: "Where did Xiao Scarlet see that the second uncle was sad?" Well? β
The man's voice seemed to be smiling, but it sounded a little tired.
Forced to smile in general.
Such a second uncle made Scarlet's heart hurt even more.
Second Master Mu's eyelids lifted slightly, and landed on the little woman's delicate face.
Scarlet lowered her head slightly, and the slightly messy bangs on her forehead blocked her forehead.
Murong Shen closed his eyes, he stretched out his hand, his slender fingers, the fingertips seemed to tremble, he brushed away the broken hair on her forehead, revealing the little woman's snow-white face.
In my head, the face of another woman appeared.
It was an extremely good-looking woman.
With big eyes, melon seed face, a little girl under the age of twenty, she is as delicate and bright as a flower that has not yet bloomed.
It's always shy when you laugh, and there's a touch of tenderness hidden in your eyes.
It is really not like the little girl in front of her, whether it is cold or delicate now.
Mu Erye's sudden action made Scarlet a little surprised, even strange, and the man's hand holding the cigarette touched her face carefully.
It was as if he couldn't see at that moment, his world was only dark, and he felt her with his heart.
A smooth and full forehead, long, curly eyelashes, a straight nose, and pink cherry lips.
Scarlet Heart's body stretched straight, allowing the second master's hand to roam over her face, his fingertips fell on her lips, and soon, he moved away again.
"Second uncle." She muttered to him.
The man opened his eyes, his dark pupils, his eyes were dark, he met the little woman's eyes, hooked his lips, and smiled lightly: "Little Scarlet Heart, you really don't look like her." β
When he said this, there was an inexplicable tone in his tone.
Speaking of "her", it seems a little stunned and sad.
"Who?" Scarlet didn't want to ask, but she couldn't help it, "Is it the red maple that the eldest aunt said?" β
One of her hearts lifted up, waiting for the man to speak.
Red Maple, who the hell is it?
The eldest aunt mentioned such a person, and the second uncle reacted so much.
The person that the second uncle cares about so much is...... Does the second uncle like someone?
Could it be the second aunt?
She hasn't forgotten it, Wang Mu's mother said that the second uncle had been married before, and the second uncle liked the second aunt very much, but the second aunt didn't like the second uncle.
The two divorced.
The person who made the second uncle show such an expression.
Is it the second aunt?
"Red maple. Red Maple! β
Mu Erye repeated the name twice, hooked his lips and smiled, the smile was very bitter, almost not like it would appear on the face of this man who has always been cold and powerful.
The heart that Scarlet Heart lifted was hanging.
She bit her lip and looked at the second master, and a gloom crossed her eyes.
Sure enough, it's the person the second uncle likes.
The smile on Mu Erye's lips, that soon, it was over in one fell swoop.
He raised his eyelids, and the love was quickly sorted out, this is the self-adjustment of the superiors, and it has always been able to make people unable to see the feelings.
He looked at the little girl in front of him who seemed to be a little aggrieved, and smiled softly: "Why is this expression?" Who made our little scarlet heart wronged? β
"It's the second uncle!"
Scarlet bit her lip: "Because the second uncle is sad." β
Murong shook his head: "I'm not sad. β
"Second Uncle deceives!"
Scarlet took a breath softly, and with great courage, stretched out two small hands, tentatively, to hold the man's face.
The little hand just touched the skin on the man's face, which was a little warm, and the man's sexy chin was still a little stubble, hard and hard.
Stabb!
Second Master Mu's deep eyes darkened, like stars in the dark night, flashing a touch of depth.
She lowered her head and looked at Second Master Mu.
The man's facial features are like a knife, sword eyebrows, thin lips, and a pair of dark eyes are deep and clear, like a vast night sky.
is nearly forty years old, and the second master can't see that he is old, but after years of precipitation, he shows a mature and sexy charming charm.
It has been precipitated and tempered over the years.
In the eyes of the little woman, there is nothing about this man who is not sexy.
Scarlet Heart looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, but after looking at it for a few seconds, her face was a little red.
The heart is pounding, and some, trying to open their eyes.
Looking at the second uncle like this, her heart beat like a drum.
I felt my heart beat to my throat and my face burned.
"Then second uncle, you look at me and say, look at me, and say that you are not sad."
She took a breath lightly, asked herself not to be a nymphomaniac to her second uncle so much, and said seriously, word by word.
Second Master Mu looked at such a stubborn scarlet heart, but he gently opened his eyes, smiled helplessly, and said gently: "Okay, I admit it, I'm sad." β
He really couldn't look at Xiao Scarlet like this and say something against his will.
"Second uncle, is it because of the second aunt?"
"Second aunt?"
The second aunt who suddenly popped out of her scarlet mouth made Mu Erye unclear, "What second aunt." β
"It's the second uncle's ex-wife."
The scarlet little mouth pouted, and her cheeks bulged, "Red Maple, is it the second uncle's ex-wife?" β
She asked a little cautiously, looked at the second uncle's face, and quickly lowered her head.
Waiting for the second uncle to answer.
The second uncle admitted that he was sad, was it because of the second aunt?
The second aunt has someone in her heart, so the second uncle is sad?
She was scared, like a prisoner waiting for the judge to judge, waiting for the second uncle to say something.
"It's not."
Second Master Mu sighed lowly, it was particularly obvious in this quiet room.
Clearly audible.
He didn't want to tell her this, but if he didn't, he was afraid that this little girl would be cranky again.
The man raised his hand, his big hand covered the little hand that touched his face in Scarlet, his eyes met her, and he didn't avoid it anymore: "Hongfeng, it's a member of the Mu family, and before you came, you passed away." β
"Ahh
Hearing that the person named Hongfeng had passed away, Scarlet let out a soft "ah". It turned out that he passed away, so the second uncle was so sad?
Second Master Mu paused, his eyes were dark, and he continued: "It's been a long time since this matter, and few people in the Mu family mention her now. β
"Oh." Scarlet Heart understood.
She thought of the tattoos on her body again, red maple leaves, red maples, red maples!
Does everyone else in the family have this tattoo?
Scarlet didn't ask, people who have passed away, when they mention it, the second uncle will be sad.
She didn't want to make the second uncle sad, so she didn't ask, and at this time, Scarlet muttered in a low voice: "I thought that Hongfeng was the second aunt." β
It's good if not.
She was really worried that if Hongfeng was the second aunt, judging from the second uncle's reaction just now, maybe the second uncle still liked the second aunt.
Then she's out of the game.
"Second uncle, can I still ask you a question?"
She swallowed her saliva, one hand removed from the second master's face, and the other hand was pinched by the second master's big hand, "If you don't answer, it's okay." β
Second Master Mu smiled dotingly: "You ask." β
"Second uncle." She plucked up her courage and glanced at the second master quickly, "Have you ever liked someone before?" Except for the second aunt. β
After asking this question, she quickly withdrew her gaze and did not dare to look at the man.
Holding his breath, waiting for an answerβ
