Chapter 6: Brother Merliu

The pillow collided with Mu Yan's sturdy back and slid down softly. Mu Yan's buttoned hands paused slightly, neither turning around, nor scolding, and after a moment, continued to tighten the buttons meticulously until the last one on the neckline was finished. He picked up the suit jacket that he threw on the floor last night, put it on the crook of his arm, and walked straight to the door, from beginning to end, he didn't look at Mu Yueli or say a word.

Mu Yueli grabbed the sheets under her tightly, she wanted to get up, but last night's fierceness made her body like a slender feather floating in the air, without any strength. Seeing that Mu Yue opened the door and was about to leave, all the anger and disappointment in Mu Yue turned into three words in her mouth - "I hate you!" ”

Every word is soaked with anger and despair.

Mu Cheng's fingers were on the handle of the door, and after hearing Mu Yueli's voice, his slender fingers couldn't help but clench the handle, but soon, he opened the door and left the room, as the door slowly closed automatically, Mu Yan's back was cut into narrower and narrower strips, and when the door was about to close, Mu Yan's cold voice without a trace of emotion came.

"Whatever you want."

Mu Yueli looked at the door in disbelief, the door slammed shut, and the tears accumulated in her eyes fell in response.

Only Mu Yueli was left in the huge room.

…………

Since that night, Mu Yueli has been locking herself in her room, not going out, and sometimes she eats a bite of the food sent by the maid, sometimes she doesn't eat a bite. Every day, as always, she sits in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out of the window with vacant eyes, and sits all day, as if she is thinking about something, but she doesn't seem to think about anything.

Mu Zhennian's personal bodyguard Lei Jiuchen, Mu Yueli has always affectionately called him "Uncle Jiu", and came to persuade her several times, but finally returned in vain. This tough guy who looks terrifying, but is very gentle in his heart, can't bear to watch the young lady who grew up lose weight day by day, he mustered up the courage to ask Mu Zhennian, hoping that the old man can persuade the young lady, after all, blood is thicker than water, maybe the young lady can listen to the old man's words?

"Lao Jiu, it's not the first day that you only know this child's temperament," Mu Zhennian finished approving a document, put down the pen in his hand, leaned back on the Taishi chair, and sighed, "Let her go, she will figure it out herself, if she collapses because of such a little thing, what will she do in the future, how will she deal with herself?" We old bones, we can't ...... with her for the rest of our lives."

Lei Jiuchen stood beside Mu Zhennian, his chin bowed, his lips moved slightly, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped. "Master, there is a saying...... The subordinates don't know whether to talk about it or not," Speaking of this, Lei Jiuchen cautiously raised his eyes to look at Mu Zhennian, and saw that he had no intention of stopping him, so he mustered up the courage to continue, "The subordinates think that the young lady doesn't have to marry the young master, our plan has been prepared for so many years, and it is foolproof, and there are so many ......."

"Lao Jiu!" Mu Zhennian's voice sounded, although the decibel was not high, but it carried an undoubted majesty. Lei Jiuchen shuddered violently, stopped his words, and buried his head lower.

"In this world, there is no absolute loyalty," Mu Zhennian slowly stood up with a dragon's head cane, and turned to look at Lei Jiuchen, who bowed ninety degrees in front of him. He put one hand on Lei Jiuchen's arm and motioned for him to stand up.

"But there's one thing that solidifies loyalty, and that's emotion." Mu Zhennian said.
