"Smack-"

The phone was cut off directly, expressionless, Li Jingyan turned off the mobile phone without a glance and then buckled it upside down on the desktop.

Finally quiet.

However, it was eerily quiet.

Under the dim light, the man's already deep face looked even more sharp and dark at the moment, like an overturned inkstone, and the ink was poured on the ground, and the dark color was gloomy and thick, and it couldn't be dissolved.

Gradually, a little indescribable tremor and panic quietly filled the air.

My head still hurts.

Maintaining a kneeling posture on one knee, Li Jingyan did not move for a long time, and the cold sweat on his forehead gradually increased.

Long.

He struggled to his feet, his thin lips pursed into a line, and the line of his jaw was so tight that it seemed to break at any moment.

Tilting his head, he drank the rest of the wine.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

Depressed, every breath is tormented.

……

Li Jingyan, who had not slept all night and was covered with the smell of smoke and withdrew from work, finally opened the door of the study.

The footsteps stopped abruptly in the next second.

In a daze, Mu Shihuan heard the sound.

Li Jingyan......

Suddenly awake, she opened her eyes and looked up urgently, and then crashed into the man's cold eyes.

The way he looked at her was no longer spoiled and distressed, some were just strange and cold.

His heart trembled violently, and the sharp pain quickly swept through his body, almost Mu Shihuan couldn't breathe.

"Li Jingyan......" she opened her mouth, her voice so hoarse that she was startled.

I tried to stand up, but I didn't know if she had been squatting for too long, her legs were numb, and the slightest movement was indescribably uncomfortable.

She couldn't get up at all.

Seeing the changes in her expression, especially the way she bit her lip and frowned, listening to her voice and thinking that she was afraid that she would stay here all night, Li Jingyan only felt angry and hateful.

A flame burned in his chest, obviously worried, obviously angry that she was joking with her body, but the words that came out of his mouth were no warmth at all, and they were even more entangled with thick mockery-

"Bitter Meat Trick?"

Rumble!

Mu Shihuan's brain exploded instantly.

She was stunned for two seconds.

A strong sourness surged into his eyes, and tears seemed to be about to rush out of nowhere, and Mu Shihuan bit his lip violently.

“…… No, I didn't ......" The pain tugged back a little as she shook her head.

Her eyes were a little blurry, and she sniffed, trying to suppress the uncomfortable emotions.

You can't cry.

Crying won't solve anything.

Wiping her eyes indiscriminately, Mu Shihuan looked at the man again, even if his indifference made her unacceptable, she still looked at him for a moment.

"Li Jingyan, I'm sorry......," she said.

Li Jingyan clearly saw the mist in her eyes, and the trills in her words were also so obvious.

Still, he remained unmoved.

Mu Shihuan's heart sank, and the tip of her heart became more and more painful, afraid that he would not want to listen to her words and leave, she endured it and seized the opportunity to say quickly: "I never thought of lying to you." ”

"That agreement...... It was my problem, but I couldn't say no to the situation, it was just a stopgap measure. I have already thought about it, I will pay back the debt to the Mu family, and find out the cause of my father's death, and I will ...... Just use all my switches to be with you, I think then Mom won't stop me, and I'll prove to her that you're not ......"

She kept looking at him, not blinking, but his expression still hadn't changed in the slightest.

Same as last night.

The heart seemed to be being torn apart, dull and blocked in the chest, and Mu Shi cried happily: "I don't have to lie to you, if you like it, you like it!" After all the dealings before being brought to the cemetery, did you just think I was lying to you? I first returned to Jiangcheng...... At that time, I clearly wanted to leave you......"

She admitted that it was her fault for signing that agreement, no matter how overwhelmed her by Gao Zhiman's appearance and her father's death for her at that time, no matter how tormented she was at the time......

Wrong is wrong.

But she's not wronged.

He decided that she lied to him and was playing tricks on him, and that was all he trusted in her? Is their relationship so fragile? Or did he never believe that she liked him from beginning to end?

So what is all that they have experienced between them?

"If it's just a show, it's just a lie to you, and I don't like you...... Why do you suffer from gains and losses, why are you jealous and even jealous because of your relationship with Mu Nuan, and why are you disheartened and want to divorce you after falling into the water because you saved Mu Nuan? ”

When she said this, Mu Shihuan was very sad, some emotions couldn't be controlled at all, and she still shed tears in the end.

"At these times, did my mom come back to me? Does Uncle Ming want me to take on the responsibility of the Mu family? The more tears fell, the more blurred her eyes became, and she wiped them away, "How much I like you, can't you feel it?" ”

The last sentence is an outburst of grievances and an emotional out-of-control questioning.

"Ahem...... Ahem! ”

Uncontrollable for a moment, she coughed, and after only two seconds, her face turned red.

Li Jingyan almost reflexively wanted to approach and help her up to check, patting her on the back as before.

Can......

When consciousness returned, he didn't move, just a hand that fell to his side quietly clenched into a fist, and his thin lips pursed, as if something in his chest was rampage to get out.

He watched coldly as she coughed, watched her gradually stop, and watched her ......

Li Jingyan closed his eyes.

A second later, he opened his eyes, and at the same time walked away from her with long legs: "Go back to the room by yourself, you don't have to go to the company with me today." ”

The words are cold, there is no temperature, and there is no warmth at all.

Mu Shihuan's heart trembled fiercely.

A dull ache spreads.

“…… Li Jingyan! She didn't even think to stop him.

But he didn't stop.

"I really didn't lie to you......" she said with a hard throat, letting the overwhelming discomfort envelop her...... I'm sorry. ”

Shadows fell.

The man turned.

Mu Shihuan was overjoyed: "...... awe"

"I won't be fooled again, put away your bitter tricks."

A cold sentence, each word was like a sharp knife that stabbed Mu Shihuan's heart quickly and accurately.

The words that I wanted to continue were blocked in my throat.

For a moment, her face turned pale.

The man left.

Turning her head stiffly, she watched him leave, the figure getting farther and farther away.

He never turned his head to look at her, not even a glance.

In a trance, she suddenly remembered a sentence he said in disgust on the night of the auction reunion-

"I haven't seen you for two years, Mu Shihuan, this is your new trick?"

He still didn't believe her.

Or, from beginning to end, he decided that she was just making a show, making bitter tricks, and playing tricks?

His chest was so dull that he was almost suffocating, and unconsciously, Mu Shihuan clenched his nightgown, and the tighter he clenched.

"Ma'am? Wife! ”

I don't know how long it took, but the anxious shouts barely dragged her thoughts back.

Looking up blankly, what greeted me was not the face I wanted to see the most.

It's Aunt Xu.

"Ma'am?!" Aunt Xu hurriedly ran to her and leaned over to try to help her up, "Why are you sitting on the ground, get up quickly, I'll help you." ”

Mu Shihuan shook his head mechanically.

"Ma'am?"

The tears dried up, only the mist always lingered, and there was no focus between her eyes, Mu Shihuan said in a daze: "No, I'll get up by myself." ”

From the time he opened the door to the time he left, he saw her sitting on the ground, but he didn't reach out to help her.

If it was before, he would definitely pick her up, and then pretend to scold her and teach her a few words, and she would definitely be coquettish, and finally blame him for the fault.

But now......

Mu Shihuan felt that he couldn't think about it.

When I think about it, my heart hurts uncontrollably, sometimes sharp and sometimes dull, indescribable.

Continuous, enduring.

"I can do it myself." She said hard, sniffing, and then leaning against the wall with one hand trying to stand up.

However, the sourness in his legs was too strong.

It's too uncomfortable.

She couldn't move.

Nearly she fell forward.

"Ma'am!" Aunt Xu's eyes were quick to hold her hand and drag her firmly.

Mu Shihuan's nose suddenly became sour.

"Thank you, Aunt Xu......," she whispered.

Aunt Xu listened, and her heart was extremely uncomfortable, especially when she saw her dejected face, it was even more uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but sigh anxiously.

What's going on, why did the little couple quarrel again, no matter how good the relationship is, it can't stand the temper and cold war between the two ends for three days, it not only hurts feelings, but most importantly, it hurts people's hearts.

She thought that she was preparing breakfast downstairs just now, and her husband asked her to go upstairs to the study and take his wife back to the bedroom.

Who would have thought that the wife would be sitting on the floor in a dressing gown?

I thought of the gentleman's face again......

Aunt Xu was really relieved, and her brows furrowed in an attempt to comfort: "Mrs...... Yikes! ”

His fingers were coldly touching a piece of her bare skin.

It's hot!

It was only at this time that Aunt Xu realized that the flush on her face seemed to be a little abnormal, her face changed, and she hurriedly touched Mu Shihuan's forehead.

In fever!

"Madam, you have a fever!" She was anxious and worried, and blurted out, "I'll help you back to the bedroom, and then tell Mr. to let Dr. Rong come and show you." ”

She remembered that some time ago, her wife had a fever for a few days, and her husband took her to Dr. Rong's to see her.

Suddenly, the hand was tightly grasped.

"Ma'am?"

Mu Shihuan turned his face away, lowered his head to look at his compromise, and said in a low voice but resolutely: "Don't tell him, don't tell him, I'...... It's the same with taking Western medicine. ”

The crying tone was already tinged with pleading.

Aunt Xu was in a dilemma, and she couldn't bear it: "Mrs., you ......"

In the end, Aunt Xu still compromised.

Mu Shihuan was helped to the bedroom and lay on the bed, barely drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, took medicine, she was always chaotic, knowing that Aunt Xu couldn't rest assured, and wanted to be alone for a while, she deliberately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

It wasn't until the door was closed that she reopened her eyes.

She had already forced herself not to cry, but her eyes were a little red and swollen, sadness and grievances overflowed in them, thinking of all the things from last night to this moment, this torment became more and more intense, and she couldn't breathe.

Unconsciously, she bit her lip with her teeth, and her fingers clutched the quilt, trying to fight against the discomfort in her heart in this way.

However, it never worked.

About last night, the mind is clearer and clearer over and over again.

His expression, his words, his ......

Speech......

When she was in a trance, Mu Shihuan suddenly realized that she had ignored something from last night to the present.

Last night he said the recording......

Gao Zhiman called her that time, of course she didn't and couldn't, let alone think about recording.

Then, the recording can only be...... Gao Zhiman recorded.

Moreover, it was premeditated.
