Du Shao was slightly stunned.

Realizing something, he swallowed the words he had originally wanted to ask, and the topic returned to the beginning: "Tonight's business...... I will send someone to protect you. ”

"No, you don't." Mu Shihuan refused.

Du Shao frowned.

"Mu Shihuan ......"

Mu Shihuan shook his head and said into his gaze: "You don't need protection, it's enough to call the police." ”

How smart Du Shao is.

"I understand," he nodded, his mood becoming more and more complicated, "Don't worry, since you called the police, we will investigate clearly." ”

It's just an alarm, and you don't need to deliberately protect it.

Mu Shihuan meant this, seeing Du Shao say this, she responded with her chin bowed: "Thank you." ”

Looking up at where she had come from, she asked, "Can I go?" ”

made it clear that he didn't want to mention any topics related to Li Jingyan.

Du Shao sighed in his heart, but there was really no reason to stop her: "The driver should be almost done with the question, and he can go." ”

"Well, thank you." After saying this, Mu Shihuan didn't stay any longer, raised his feet and left.

Du Shao couldn't stay, so he could only watch her leave.

He knew very well that although she was mentioning Lao Li, the meaning was very clear, she didn't want to tell Lao Li about tonight's incident through his mouth, after all, she and Lao Li had "nothing to do".

It's just that Du Shao can't do it.

After personally sending her away, he dialed Lao Li's phone.

When Li Jingyan received the call, the sun had not yet risen on the other side of the ocean, but it made no difference to him, but it was another sleepless night, and he had been running on the treadmill for a long time.

"What's the matter?" Pausing to run, wiping off the sweat at will, he answered.

Du Shao heard his voice and was silent for a moment.

"Lao Li," he took a deep breath, "Mu Shihuan had an accident, he came to the police station half an hour ago to call the police, and he was deliberately hit on the way home. ”

Li Jingyan's hand holding the towel paused slightly.

"Well," he whispered, lowering his eyes, "I know." ”

It's calm, as if there are no emotional ups and downs.

When Du Shao heard this, he felt incredible.

"Lao Li!" He also thought he had misheard, "I mean Mu Shihuan......"

Before the words fell, he reacted.

"Did the first year of high school report to you?" He asked.

Li Jingyan hummed, threw the towel aside, opened the refrigerator with one hand, took a bottle of ice water from it and drank a lot.

The silence crept in, save for the sound of his throat rolling as he drank water.

Du Shao had a headache.

For a long time, he sighed helplessly: "What the hell are you doing?" Since you know that she is in danger, you won't let the first and second years of high school appear, and you won't come back yourself, you ......"

After a pause, as if he realized something, he asked in a particularly complicated mood: "Could it be that you have not returned to China for a long time to hide from Shi Huan?" ”

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.

"It's not." Li Jingyan denied it.

But Du Shao didn't believe it, and asked: "What is there in the branch over there that requires you to stay over there for a long time?" Li's side doesn't care? Aren't you worried about Lin Jingshu doing something while you're away? ”

"It's just a business trip, it's a common thing." Li Jingyan's tone was very light throughout the whole process, not in a hurry.

Du Shao...... Choke.

"Then Mu Shihuan, what are your plans?" After holding it for a while, he held back this sentence, "Don't say anything, you are divorced, you let go, if you can really let go, it is not Li Jingyan." ”

Fingertips swiped casually across the bottle, and Li Jingyan said: "What does she want, you can cooperate." ”

Don't mention the problem with Mu Shihuan, just this sentence.

Du Shao was so angry that he couldn't help sneering: "I see that you will be awarded a good ex-husband, so you don't worry about Mu Shihuan?" ”

This time, Li Jingyan did not speak again.

Du Shao naturally understood his temper, and when he saw this, in addition to being angry, he sighed helplessly.

"Okay, don't worry, I know what to do."

Li Jingyan's eyes were dark: "Hmm." ”

Without further conversation, the call ended.

The mobile phone was casually placed on the bar by Li Jingyan, and he continued to drink water, as if he didn't feel cold at all.

He was calm.

However, it is only superficial.

The words that the senior freshman called in his mind were still clear, especially in his ears.

How could he not be worried?

How can it be...... Don't want her?

I want to call her, I want to hear her voice, I want to go back to her regardless of it, I want to ......

He closed his eyes sharply.

It's a pity, no matter how much you think about it, you can't.

Blatant worry will only lead things out of control.

"Buzz—"

The phone on the bar vibrated suddenly.

Li Jingyan opened his eyes and found that it was Li Yan who called.

His thin lips pursed slightly, and he frowned and connected: "What's wrong?" ”

A moment later.

"Okay, I'll find someone to check the key, and I won't let anyone else know, don't worry," he responded, and finally couldn't help but say, "Trouble you, take care of her more." ”

The last sentence is clearly different from the usual coldness, and the voice is very low.

Where couldn't Li Yan hear what he meant?

wanted to say something impulsively, but she understood that she had no position, and in the end, she just said: "I always feel that Shi Huan's heart knot needs you to untie it." ”

The call between the two ended briefly.

Li Jingyan still stood in place, not moving for a long time, until Mo Yuan came in, he whispered: "Book a ticket to return home early the day after tomorrow." ”

……

After leaving the police station, the driver took Mu Shihuan to the nearest hospital for examination.

In fact, there was nothing wrong, but Mu Shihuan's arm was a little painful, and her current physical condition was not good, so she went to the hospital and got some medicine.

After that, the driver drove her back to the apartment.

Before getting out of the car, Mu Shihuan instructed: "Remember not to tell grandpa about tonight, I don't want him to worry." ”

The driver stopped talking, and finally nodded: "Miss, don't worry." ”

But Mu Shihuan knew that the driver wouldn't listen to her, and she didn't take it to heart.

With the medicine prescribed by the hospital, Mu Shihuan slowly walked into the apartment and pressed the elevator.

The elevator stopped, and she stepped in, without any expression the whole time.

Until......

saw Xiaoxing and Yu Qiao at the door of the house, Yu Qiao held Xiaoxing in one hand and carried luggage in the other.

Mu Shihuan was stunned.

Xiaoxing was a little sleepy waiting, but as soon as she heard the sound from the elevator, the sleepiness disappeared, she looked up suddenly, and saw Mu Shihuan's big smile on her whole face.

She immediately broke free of Yu Qiao's hand and ran happily towards Mu Shihuan with her calves.

Holding Mu Shihuan's legs with both hands, she raised her face and smiled.

Mu Shihuan returned to his senses.

"Why did Little Star come over all of a sudden?" She crouched down to eye level with Little Star and asked gently, "Why didn't you tell me?" ”

Yu Qiao walked over.

Xiaoxing immediately turned his head and stretched out his hand to Yu Qiao.

Yu Qiao handed her a piece of paper.

The little star happily opened it and showed it to Mu Shihuan.

Those were the words she wrote herself, and Mu Shihuan recognized them-

"Sister Shi Huan, the little star misses you, so come to you, the little star will accompany you for the New Year."

Little Star's big eyes were stained with a smile that became more and more obvious.

Yu Qiao explained at this time: "Miss Mu, Miss Mu misses you very much, I am depressed, Mr. Yu has not returned from a business trip, so I agreed to let Miss Xiao come over, it was Miss Xiao who said that she would not tell you for the time being, and wanted to give you a surprise." ”

After a pause, she said again: "But Mr. Yu also said, if it's inconvenient for you here, it's okay." ”

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Yu Linshang's call came.

Mu Shihuan clearly saw Xiaoxing make a pitiful expression towards herself, as if to say, she don't want to go.

Mu Shihuan was soft-hearted and connected.

Yu Linshang seemed to be very busy, and told Xiaoxing about it, meaning that he hoped that she could help take care of it for two days.

Out of the corner of his eye, the little star was still looking at him expectantly.

Mu Shihuan couldn't refuse at all, not to mention that she didn't plan to refuse, she agreed.

"Then the little star will stay with me for the New Year." Putting away her phone, she said to Little Star with a smile.

Little Star's eyes lit up, and he didn't think about jumping into Mu Shihuan's arms.

Mu Shihuan was defenseless, and was in a squatting posture again, her body shook violently, and she almost fell backwards, and she reflexively supported the ground with her hands, coincidentally, she unconsciously used the injured and painful hand.

Her brow furrowed.

Yu Qiao saw it at a glance and hurriedly asked, "Miss Mu, what's wrong with you?" You okay? ”

When Xiaoxing heard this, she got up from Mu Shihuan's arms in a daze, saw her expression, and was a little uneasy at the moment.

Mu Shihuan was afraid of scaring her.

"It's okay, don't worry, little star." She coaxed softly, then looked up at Joe and said, "It's okay. ”

Yu Qiao opened her mouth, and Mu Shihuan shook her head silently.

"Shall we go into the house first?" Looking at Xiaoxing again, Mu Shihuan gently pinched her face, "Take your hand, huh?" ”

At a very young age, Mu Shihuan behaved very normally, and Xiaoxing did not doubt him, and smiled again.

She nodded heavily.

Mu Shi laughed, stood up, took Xiaoxing's hand and led her into the house.

Yu Qiao followed.

The heating in the apartment is very sufficient, and it will be warm as soon as you enter it, Yu Qiao took off the down jacket outside for Xiaoxing.

took off his coat, Xiaoxing suddenly became as light as a swallow, and a pair of round eyes looked around the apartment, and his happy mood could not be hidden.

Seeing this, the corners of Mu Shihuan's lips curled involuntarily, first turned on the TV to find out the anime, and then squatted in front of Xiaoxing and asked, "Has Xiaoxing eaten?" ”

Little Star shook her head in embarrassment.

Mu Shihuan smiled, and his voice became softer: "That...... Let's eat the noodles, shall we? ”

Little Star laughed and nodded.

"Okay, then you wait for me."

Little Star nodded again.

Mu Shihuan touched her head, got up and said to Qiao: "Sit casually, you accompany Xiaoxing, I'll make a note soon." ”

Yu Qiao naturally couldn't sit still.

"Miss Mu, I'll help you." She was persistent.

Mu Shihuan glanced at her, and finally did not refuse, after all, she also had something to "say" to Yu Qiao, to be precise, she wanted Yu Linshang to "know".

It's just that before she and Yu Qiao entered the kitchen, Xiaoxing suddenly pulled her hand.

Mu Shihuan lowered his head, and saw Xiaoxing take out the paper and pen he carried with him, and wrote a sentence in front of her-

"Let Daddy protect you, okay?"
