Chapter 24: Hiding Deep Enough
On the summer path, cicadas and birds can be heard from time to time, and horse-drawn carriages walk on it.
Song Mingyue looked at the pensive man in front of her, hesitated and said loudly, "Leng Xi is your nephew?" β
The man raised his head suddenly, his cold gaze seemed to be with a sword blade, "About him, it's best to put away your curiosity!" β
"You seem nervous?" Song Mingyue's bright gaze fell on him and looked directly at him.
Mu Chen saw that she continued to lift it, and her tall body suddenly tilted in front of her, and her well-defined hands picked up her beautiful jaw.
"I don't want to say it a second time! If I hear cold news in the future, you will regret everything you asked today. β
The coldness is the knot in his heart, and it is the hurdle to step forward.
If his brother hadn't blocked the knife for him, he wouldn't have died, and his sister-in-law wouldn't have ended up in childbirth if it weren't for his negligence.
Leng Xi will not be because of him, and he lost his parents at birth, and his personality has become too well-behaved and sensible.
Song Mingyue listened, and the curiosity in her heart increased instead of decreasing, but seeing the man's serious and dark face, she didn't continue to ask.
She dodged the man's hand expressionlessly, leaning back slightly, "Don't worry, I'm not so gossipy." β
Mu Chen opened the distance between the two at this time, closed his eyes coldly, and clasped his hands in front of his chest, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Song Mingyue stopped speaking.
The whole small space suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became strange.
After a stick of incense, the carriage stopped.
When Song Mingyue lifted the curtain and was about to go home, she saw the dignified lion in front of the door, and she looked at the person behind her suspiciously.
Mu Chen also noticed that something was wrong, his face sank, and said, "What's the matter?" β
When the coachman heard the cold voice, he had goosebumps on his arm, and hurriedly explained: "This is what the little young master ordered, saying that he has sent someone to prepare food in the house to receive Miss Song." β
Mu Chen frowned, glanced at her, and said, "Since you're here, let's go in." β
At the same time, he turned to the coachman and said, "Next time he has any other orders, he must tell me first." β
Song Mingyue listened to the conversation behind her word for word, and said with a cold face: "You don't have to be so embarrassed, the Song Mansion is not without food!" β
Mu Chen's face stiffened, he didn't expect to be listened to by her, his face softened a lot, "This is Leng Xi's kindness, do you want him to know that he is sad?" β
Song Mingyue's smooth forehead couldn't help but wrinkle, "Are you threatening me?" β
"Whatever you understand."
"Eat it, but for the sake of the cold face!" Song Mingyue was a little angry with this overbearing and macho person, and said.
Sure enough, Mu Chen's face turned sauce color in an instant, and it was the first time that someone dared to talk to him like this.
In less than half a month, this woman is a person from his house, and when the time comes, he is slowly repairing her and pulling out the thorns on her body one by one!
Song Mingyue walked in front and always felt the gaze behind her that could not be ignored, and her heart was a little dark.
It seems that in the future, she will often use words to scold this macho person, so that he will suffer more losses from closed doors.
The two walked one after the other, and walked to the gazebo with different thoughts.
At this time, the stone table was already covered with all kinds of delicacies, and the aroma of the food alone was already fragrant ten miles away.
There was also a bottle of wine in jade on the table, which made people who had never tasted wine before, couldn't help but roll up and down their throats a few times.
When Mu Chen saw the wine on the table, his face instantly sank, this must have been deliberately arranged by Leng Xi!
This little guy is so young, it's useless to think about something.
"Get rid of the wine."
"Yes." The subordinate nodded respectfully, and before his hand touched the jade bottle, the wine was snatched into Song Mingyue's arms.
She smelled the wine with a faint mellow fragrance of osmanthus flowers, glanced at the man's ugly face, and deliberately scolded back with his previous words, "Don't, this is a cold heart." β
She was originally greedy, but these words became a different meaning to Mu Chen's ears.
Mu Chen thought that she had guessed that Leng Xi wanted to promote the relationship between the two, and glanced at her a few times inquiringly.
Hehe, this woman hides it so deeply.
The subordinates looked at him in embarrassment, and Mu Chen waved his hand to signal him to step back.
At the dinner table, Song Mingyue hadn't eaten for a day, and she was already so hungry that her chest was close to her back, and when she saw the delicious food in front of her, she directly lifted her sleeves and picked up the vegetables.
Mu Chen's thick eyebrows rose slightly, and he couldn't help but speak: "Look at the way you eat, where is there a woman?" β
Song Mingyue glanced at him, "The people take food as the sky, they eat when they are hungry, and they sleep sleepily, what's wrong?" β
Mu Chen was so asked by her words that he had nothing to say, and found that this was the truth.
Song Mingyue was half-full, poured herself a glass of osmanthus wine, and the strong fragrance of osmanthus wine came to her nose.
She couldn't help but sniff with her delicate nose, and then began to take small sips.
After taking a sip of osmanthus wine, she found that the wine of this era was not only very fragrant, but also very strong.
It is much more true than before, as if a mouth full of osmanthus flowers has been eaten, with a faint sweet taste.
She couldn't help but be fascinated for a while, and drank several glasses.
Seeing this, Mu Chen hurriedly stopped her moves, looked at her red face, rolled in her throat a few times, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Drink less, it's not as low as you imagined." β
Although osmanthus wine is delicious, it is easy to get started.
Song Mingyue didn't believe it, and snatched the wine, at this time she was already a little drunk, and her face was flushed, showing a faint smile.
"It's so stingy, and I didn't let you drink it."
Mu Chen felt despised by her, snatched the wine while she was drunk, and directly smothered it into her stomach.
Seeing this, Song Mingyue nervously snatched the wine into her arms again, and said a little naΓ―vely: "You can't grab the wine that Leng Xi prepared for me." β
Mu Chen's deep eyes looked at her seriously, and he suddenly felt that this woman might really not know the meaning of coldness.
Otherwise, how could he have only drunk for himself and not poured him wine?
While he was thinking, Song Mingyue had already drunk a bottle of osmanthus wine directly, and at the same time, the wine rushed to her head, and her consciousness became a little drowsy.
She looked at the two shadow men in front of her, and laughed innocently: "Haha, how can there be two of you?" You must be a fake! β
She stretched out her slender hand and pointed at Mu Chen, completely unaware of how dark the man's face was.
But looking at her drunk, his heartstrings seemed to be plucked fiercely.
When this woman is drunk, she seems to be more attractive than usual, less cold, and more cute.
When he stood up to carry her to the guest room, Iron Blood suddenly appeared in the gazebo.
This made him raise his hand in the air and suddenly froze, shook his sleeves and withdrew his hand, looking at the person in front of him coldly, with a murderous aura hidden in his eyes.
"What's the matter?"
