The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the chill is refreshing.

The Nanshan Villa, which was shrouded in silence, soon fell into darkness, while the Beiqing Villa, far away at the other end of the city, was brightly lit at the moment.

Mu Sinian, who had returned from a business trip for a few days, arrived at the entrance, and saw Mu Nuan sitting on the sofa, holding a book in his hand, as if he was watching, but his eyes seemed to be empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Haven't slept so late?" Changing his shoes, he approached straight in.

Leng Buding heard the sound, and Mu Nuan, who didn't know where his thoughts were wandering, was awake.

"Brother," she put down the book, and she looked up to get straight to the point, "I'm waiting for you." ”

The servant heard the sound and brought a cup of tea.

Mousse took it.

"What's the matter?"

"Mu Shihuan is back."

The action that brought it to his mouth paused, and Mu Sinian raised his eyes.

The eyes are facing each other.

Mu Nuan stared at him for a moment.

Mousse Nian was unconscious.

He took a sip of tea without hesitation, and after a while, he chuckled absently: "It seems that she is not dead." ”

"Brother......

"What do you want to ask?"

Mu Nuan's silence was suddenly.

Unconsciously frowned, and it took a few seconds for her to ask the question that had been blocked in her chest all night under his careless eyes: "Back then...... Mu Shihuan disappeared suddenly, his whereabouts are unknown, brother ...... Is it your hand? ”

As the words fell, the huge living room suddenly became extraordinarily quiet.

Mu Sinian glanced at her, his expression did not change, and there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Where did you hear that?" ”

A wave of restlessness suddenly rushed up, and Mu Nuan stood up suddenly.

"Brother!"

One stand and one sit.

Mousse has always looked laid-back.

Seeing this, Mu Nuan became even more anxious.

"Brother, you ......" A little sourness suddenly welled up in her eyes, she turned her face away and squeezed out a name, "Qi Shen." ”

Until now, she still can't forget Qi Shen's eyes.

She thought that hearing the words he said hooking He Er in Hua Zui had made her mood extremely bad, but she didn't expect that when she and Qiao Shuang met Qi Shen again, heard him unceremoniously disdainful, and even ridiculed Mu Shihuan's disappearance that year was related to her and her brother, her mood was only worse than the worst.

She once felt that Qi Shen was talking nonsense, Qi Shen had always looked down on her, and she knew it if she was sneering.

Can......

"Brother......

"Nuan Nuan," Mu Sinian interrupted her, "It's just that Mu Shihuan is back, and she hasn't done anything, just making you feel like a big enemy, messing up, and thinking nonsense?" What about your self-confidence? ”

"I ......"

"What are you worried about? Afraid that Mu Shihuan will snatch Li Jingyan away? Or are you afraid of Li Jingyan's empathy? ”

"I didn't!" Mu Nuan didn't want to refute it.

Mu Sinian unceremoniously poked her: "You have." ”

The words "I ......" were blocked in his throat, and Mu Nuan didn't have the confidence to say it.

She didn't want to admit it, but she didn't want to admit that she was indeed affected by Mu Shihuan, first Tiantai vigorously ignored the danger that day, and then he dragged Mu Shihuan away tonight.

She......

"What happened?" Mousse asked.

Mu Nuan bit her lip, her pride and long-term self-confidence made her unable to open her mouth.

It's just that......

"I've always known that I like Li Jingyan and cares about him far more than he likes me, but even if I like it again, I know that I must not let go of my pride and go down to the dust. Yes, I'm worried, but ......" It took a long time for her to spit out the rest of the words, "I can't ask, I'm afraid he won't know how to advance or retreat, I'm ......"

"So you'd rather be alone here and bothering yourself?"

Mu Nuan's eyes darkened.

"He didn't reach out to you?" Mu Sinian asked again.

hit the nail on the head, and quite cruelly reminded Mu Nuan of what she was most worried about these days, her breathing was stagnant, and her fingers clenched unconsciously.

Although she still didn't say clearly what was wrong with Li Jingyan, Mu Sinian guessed it somewhat.

With his legs folded, he smiled: "Instead of suffering from gains and losses, speculating, it is better to take the initiative to ask clearly." I know your concerns, but Nuan Nuan, don't forget, Li Jingyan's kind of man whose ambition always comes before his feelings can't figure it out in the same way he does with ordinary men, and don't ask him to take the initiative, understand? ”

"As for Mu Shihuan," he touched a cigarette and lit it, the smile on the corner of his eyes did not decrease, "There is nothing to worry about, Li Jingyan will divorce her sooner or later, and she can't make any waves." ”

After a pause, his eyes flashed fiercely: "People always have to pay for what they do, Mu Shihuan...... She's not qualified to fight you. ”

As the words fell, he stood up.

"In addition, you have to be clear that a man like Li Jingyan is often a man who sticks to him and plays tricks, isn't Mu Shihuan?" Habitually patted Mu Nuan's head, he loosened his tie, raised his feet and left, "It's not early, go to bed early if you think clearly." ”

Mu Nuan never moved, until Mu Sinian stepped up the first staircase, she came back to her senses.

"Brother!"

"Huh?"

Mu Nuan wanted to say something, but after all, she still didn't make a sound.

Her mind was a little messy.

She intuitively felt that what Mu Sinian said was reasonable, but in fact, she couldn't let go of her pride and didn't want to take too much initiative.

Mousse did not look back.

"Go to bed early."

“…… Well. ”

After a while, Mu Sinian's back disappeared from sight.

Mu Nuan thought back to his words, but she was still entangled, and it wasn't until a long time that she realized that he had never answered her question at the beginning.

This night, Mu Nuan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

And what she didn't know was that Mu Sinian also didn't sleep all night.

In the study, Mu Sinian sat casually in front of the desk and smoked cigarettes one by one, and the fingers of his left hand kept casually sliding on the screen of his mobile phone, never unlocked.

It wasn't until the last cigarette burned to the end that his sliding motion paused, and eventually, he unlocked it.

The screen is lit up, and in the secret album, the only photo comes into view.

The person in the photo is smiling brightly, even if it's just a side face, even if it's still across the screen, it's enough to make people throb.

Mu Sinian stared at it for a few seconds.

With a "snap", the mobile phone screen was upside down on the desktop.

Extinguishing the cigarette butt, Mu Sinian sneered silently.

……

Following.

Lee's Group.

A sword-wrenching meeting ended, and Li Jingyan returned to the office with a blank face.

"Mr. Li," the secretary stood up at the right time and said, "Miss Mu is here and resting in your office." ”

Li Jingyan frowned, his Adam's apple moved slightly, but he only hummed faintly after thinking of something.

Mo Yuan, who was following behind, was very insightful and did not follow up.

When the door closed, a young secretary sighed with envy and whispered: "Miss Mu is very temperamental, and we are really a natural pair of talented women." ”

Someone's eyes lit up, and he gossiped curiously at Mo Yuan: "Mo Tezhu, Motezhu!" Miss Mu and Mr. Li ......"

Mo Yuan glanced at him and warned with a smile: "Very idle? ”

Secretaries: "......"

No one dared to ask anymore, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and went their own way.

Office.

Mu Nuan flipped through the financial magazine half-heartedly, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, his body stiffened nervously for no reason, and almost at the same time, the two emotions of joy and grievance poured out together.

Reserved, she didn't say anything and didn't look up.

It's just that when the footsteps got closer and closer, she still couldn't resist the deep attachment in her heart, and looked up at him with a smile: "Done?" ”

I don't want the man to look at her until he sits at the desk of the executive desk.

"What's going on?" Li Jingyan bowed, loosened his tie, and asked.

has been together for so long, although I knew that this man had always been like this, maybe it was now that Mu Shihuan was back, or maybe it was what she saw that made her unable to let go, and the smile on the corner of Mu Nuan's mouth almost couldn't maintain her indifference to him.

Taking a deep breath secretly, she first took out a businesslike attitude: "After the resort project, I will be responsible for docking with the Li family, and there are some details that need to be communicated, so I came over." ”

After a pause, she looked at him, and her tone was rare with some grievances and complaints: "I haven't seen you for a few days...... You don't want to see me? ”

The eyes are facing each other.

Li Jingyan's eyes dimmed.

"No," the corners of his eyebrows softened slightly, and when he spoke again, his voice became less cold, "Don't be cranky. ”

It's just that he doesn't know that Mu Nuan can't listen to these four words now.

Today she took the initiative to come to him It was already a compromise after a night of struggle, but no matter how much she compromised, now she can't ask where you took Mu Shihuan last night.

She thought he would take the initiative to explain.

"What's wrong?" Catching a glimpse of her distraction, Li Jingyan asked.

His heart was sour, and for a few seconds, Mu Nuan shook his head, and then raised the corners of his lips to change the topic: "You haven't forgotten tonight's drinking party, right?" After a pause, without waiting for him to answer, she said again, "My brother is back, I don't go to the company if I want to have a good rest in the afternoon, and I ...... in the evening."

"I'll pick you up, together."

The man's words are one step ahead of her.

In an instant, Mu Nuan only felt that the sourness that had tormented him for a night disappeared.

Her gaze met his.

"Good ......" The corners of her lips couldn't help but rise, sweetness quietly overflowed, and she was full of joy, "That ......"

Before the words fell, I heard Li Jingyan's mobile phone vibrate.

Li Jingyan glanced at his phone.

"Then you should be busy first, I will take over the project with Motesuke," Mu Nuan stood up at the right time, although she really wanted to stay and be alone with him, but reason told her that there was no need to worry about this, "That...... I'll wait for you. ”

Li Jingyan hummed, glanced at her, and then picked up his mobile phone to answer the phone.

The smile in Mu Nuan's eyes couldn't be stopped.

Half an hour later, Mo Yuan sent Mu Nuan in to report on his work, and by the way, he waited for him to sign the documents, and as usual, he was ready to go out when he was done.

"Mott Help." Li Jingyan stopped him.

"Mr. Li?"

Li Jingyan threw the pen in his hand on the table casually: "Want to take a vacation recently? ”

Mo Yuan sighed, subconsciously wanted to shake his head, and suddenly understood!

Where is this concern for employees?

Clear...... It's to warn him for talking too much to Mu Shihuan last night! There will be a next time, and he can really take a good "vacation".

The owner's private affairs...... Can't care!

"Mr. Li, work is my girlfriend, I don't want to abandon her." The body immediately stood up straight, and he smiled.

With a soft snort, Li Jingyan lifted his eyes to look at him.

"Mr. Li?"

"Alright, you can go out."

Mo Yuan was like being amnestied, turned around and left.

The door closed, Li Jingyan took out a cigarette and wanted to light it, but he thought of something and finally gave up.

With a silent sneer, he threw the lighter on the table.

……

Evening.

Mu Nuan does styling in a familiar private styling room.

Changing into a white one-shoulder dress sent by Li Jingyan, she looked at herself in the mirror, thinking that he still had twenty minutes to come, the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise, and anticipation and joy gradually overflowed her chest.

With a smile deepening, she happily sat down on the couch and waited patiently.

Twenty minutes later, the phone rang.

Looking at the familiar name on the screen, Mu Nuan's heart suddenly pounded.

She switched, breathing a little shorter.

"Hey, you're ......"

Before the words could be spoken, the smile froze.
