Chapter 63: Heating Up
Mu Xuncheng looked at the mobile phone that kept vibrating, hesitating whether to answer it, he glanced at Leng Qingxi who was lying on the bed, or turned around and walked out of the room.
He stood in the hallway and answered the phone.
"Fei'er, what's the matter?" Mu Xuncheng's tone was detached but polite.
Ling Fei'er didn't care, she asked coquettishly: "Brother Xuncheng, it's so late, why haven't you come back, people have made your favorite soup, waiting for you." ”
"Oh, is it? Sorry, I forgot to tell you, I have some things in the last few days, and I can't go home for the time being, so take care of yourself. Although Mu Xuncheng has now seen Ling Fei'er through, he still keeps his promise and doesn't want Ling Fei'er to be sad.
Business trip? Ling Fei'er's eyes rolled, according to her informant, Mu Xuncheng didn't have any business trips recently, so since he was in the city and didn't go home, what was he going to do? What worries her the most is that Leng Qingxi didn't come back.
However, of course Ling Fei'er would not reveal these questions, she just said very disappointed: "People have been studying for a long time, so when will you come back." ”
Mu Xuncheng frowned, if he didn't understand some of Ling Fei'er's actions, he might still feel a little guilty, but now, he couldn't convince himself to be gentle with her.
"Okay, okay, when I'm done, I'll naturally go back, it's not early, you can rest early." After speaking, Mu Xuncheng hung up the phone without waiting for Ling Fei'er to agree.
There was a busy sound of "beep" on the phone, and Ling Fei'er listened to the cold busy tone and refused to put it down for a long time.
Mu Xuncheng's indifference to her is increasing day by day, Ling Fei'er knows that it is because of what happened last time, but she is unwilling, she has been pretending for so long and paying so much, just for a chance to stay by his side.
Originally, she thought that no matter what, since Mu Xuncheng had promised that he would take care of himself, then he would definitely keep his promise.
But now, the two of them have not returned, which makes Ling Fei'er feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Ling Fei'er took the phone, pondered for a while, and dialed Ling Jiacheng's phone.
Leng Qingxi didn't know that her failure to return had brought such a big fluctuation to Ling Fei'er, she had just finished talking to Bai Shunan on the phone, and she was very ashamed to ask Bai Shunan for sick leave.
Hearing the news of Leng Qingxi's injury, Bai Shunan was very nervous, and immediately said that he was going to visit Leng Qingxi, Leng Qingxi quickly refused his request, what kind of joke, at this juncture, she didn't want Bai Shunan to make any trouble for herself.
Bai Shunan was a little disappointed when he saw that Leng Qingxi refused to let him see him, and then patiently told Leng Qingxi to take care of himself.
Leng Qingxi finally finished dealing with Bai Shunan and raised his head, only to find that Mu Xuncheng was hugging his shoulders and looking at him with raised eyebrows.
For no reason, Leng Qingxi was a little weak-hearted: "You, it's so rude to walk in without knocking." ”
"Who are you calling? Your little boss? Mu Xuncheng asked with some disdain.
"What little boss, that's our boss, don't you always look down on people like this, okay?" Leng Qingxi said a little angrily, in the past few days, maybe Mu Xuncheng's acting skills are so good that she has almost forgotten his original temper, but now seeing Mu Xuncheng's arrogant appearance, she is a little unaccustomed to it.
"That person is just your boss, why do you care so much." Mu Xuncheng continued to ask. At this moment, even Leng Qingxi could hear a sour taste in Mu Xuncheng's tone.
"What? Isn't it normal for a boss to care about his subordinates? Do you think the boss of any company is as cold-blooded as you? ”
"Hmph, you're like this now, you'd better settle down, and don't forget our agreement." Mu Xuncheng said a little angrily.
"You guys, what's going on?" Leng Zhanglin just pushed the door and walked in, and found that the air pressure in the room was surprisingly low.
"Oops, Dad, nothing." Leng Qingxi hurriedly replied.
"Really? So how do I hear you guys arguing? Leng Zhanglin set his eyes on Mu Xuncheng.
"Father-in-law, look at it, Qingxi is like this, and she is still worried about going to work, I will say a few words to her, is she unhappy, am I not for her to get better as soon as possible?" Mu Xuncheng said angrily, looking aggrieved.
Leng Qingxi looked at Mu Xuncheng with some surprise, this man, it is inevitable that his face has changed too quickly, he was still arrogant to himself just now, and now he has become a victim in the blink of an eye.
"Xiaoxi, this is your mistake, you should take care of your injuries now, why are you still thinking about things at work, and besides, your son-in-law is doing this for your own good, how can you lose your temper with him." Leng Zhanglin didn't expect that his daughter, who had always been docile, would lose her temper with Mu Xuncheng.
It seems that Mu Xuncheng is still very tolerant of his daughter.
Leng Qingxi glanced at Mu Xuncheng angrily, and found that the latter was smiling at herself, but in front of Leng Zhanglin, she couldn't say anything, so she simply stopped talking.
Leng Zhanglin saw that his daughter didn't speak, and thought she was angry.
Mu Xuncheng was very happy when he saw Leng Qingxi's unspeakable appearance, he laughed heartily and said to the father and daughter of the Leng family: "Okay, I'm going out to deal with some things, father-in-law, you can persuade Qingxi." ”
Leng Qingxi waited angrily for Mu Xuncheng's back, this guy, he was very sure that he wouldn't tell his father anything.
"Okay, you go get busy, I'll talk to Xiaoxi here." Leng Zhanglin promised, he wished he could be alone with his daughter for a while.
Seeing Mu Xun Chengcheng leave the room, Leng Zhanglin turned around to look at Leng Qingxi.
In the past few days, Leng Qingxi has been lying in bed, although Leng Zhanglin comes to see her every day, but most of the time, there are outsiders around, so the father and daughter rarely have the opportunity to talk well.
After a few days of bed recuperation and the careful medical care arranged by Mu Xuncheng, Leng Qingxi's waist is now much better, but after all, it is not so simple to heal.
Therefore, most of the time, it was Mu Xuncheng who accompanied Leng Zhanglin.
Although the two of them had an appointment in advance, Leng Qingxi didn't expect Mu Xuncheng to really be so meticulous, every day he would personally ask about his diet and medicine, and sometimes he would do it himself.
Just like last night, in front of his father, he had to feed himself medicine, looking at Mu Xuncheng, who was stingy with a smile on weekdays, holding the medicine bowl, and said to himself softly: "Open your mouth and take medicine." Leng Qingxi's hairs stood on end, and he couldn't believe that all this was true.
She even wanted to shake Mu Xuncheng's shoulder fiercely and ask him if all this was a drama or if it was all true.
But once the two of them get along alone, he shows the bad side of his character, such as just now, when everyone is not present, he will lose his temper with himself inexplicably. However, Leng Qingxi more or less knew that Mu Xuncheng was angry just now, which seemed to be related to Bai Shunan's phone call.
He and Bai Shunan are just ordinary superiors and subordinates, although Bai Shunan showed more care for himself than ordinary colleagues, but Leng Qingxi never responded. She and Mu Xuncheng really don't have any feelings at all, and there is still this paper contract between the two, and two years later, she and Mu Xuncheng will have no relationship.
However, in the past two years, she will still try her best to maintain the image between the two, and will not do anything to be sorry for Mu Xuncheng, isn't this what Mu Xuncheng needs to do in front of the public.
Moreover, Leng Qingxi's moral bottom line will not allow him to have any ambiguity with others while having a marriage relationship with Mu Xuncheng, even if this marriage is just a ridiculous joke.
She knew what Mu Xuncheng was afraid of, which was why he was angry just now.
Leng Zhanglin saw that his daughter had been in a daze since just now, and thought that her body was not feeling well, so he sat for a while to see that she still did not react, and then gently touched Leng Qingxi's forehead.
Leng Qingxi raised his head, saw his father's concerned gaze, and smiled: "Dad, I'm fine." ”
Leng Zhanglin nodded, looked at his daughter's gradually ruddy little face and asked, "Xiaoxi, you tell the truth to your father, what is that Mu Xuncheng doing to you?" ”
"That's good." Leng Qingxi replied without thinking.
"Really?" Leng Zhanglin asked, it's not that Leng Zhanglin doesn't believe in his daughter, Leng Zhanglin also sees the interaction between the two people in the past few days, if Mu Xuncheng is not good to his daughter, it is not like it, if it is good, but he always feels that Leng Qingxi's smile has always been very reluctant.
"It's true, Dad, you can see it, he takes good care of me and respects me in everything, even the people here respect me." Leng Qingxi said softly, not looking at his father.
"That's good, that's good, but I always think you have something on your mind, aren't you, are you still blaming Dad?" Leng Zhanglin asked cautiously.
"Dad, what are you talking about? I've been married for a while, and I know that you're doing it for my good, and you're my only relative in this world. How can I blame you, don't be cranky. Leng Qingxi felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't tell Leng Zhanglin.
Leng Zhanglin heard Leng Qingxi say this, and nodded slowly: "It's good if you don't blame me, when you got married, I knew you were very wronged, but Dad just hopes that you can live a better life and don't suffer with me anymore......" Saying this, Leng Zhanglin's nose was a little sour.
"Dad, what do you say, I've never felt bitter. Okay, don't talk about that, tell me what you've been doing in the past few days? ”
"In the past few days, I've really been to a lot of places......" Leng Zhanglin also knew that it was a bit inappropriate for him to say this now, so he hurriedly followed Leng Qingxi's words and continued.
In the past few days, Mu Xuncheng took Leng Zhanglin to play around the city, although Leng Zhanglin repeatedly said that as long as he gave him a driver, Mu Xuncheng still insisted on doing it himself.
Mu Xuncheng also took Leng Zhanglin to visit the head office of the Mu Group, and took him to the most famous restaurants and the most famous attractions in the city, he said that although Leng Qingxi can't do these things, he, as a son-in-law, will definitely do a good job for Leng Qingxi.
The dignified Mu Xuncheng Mu Da Shao is willing to deign to be a tour guide and a driver, which is a treatment that no one has ever had.
Hearing Leng Zhanglin say this, Leng Qingxi's mouth was almost closed, she didn't expect Mu Xuncheng to do so much for herself, she didn't expect that he was still a very trustworthy person, it seems that this person is not useless, in addition to his talent in design, this can be regarded as one of his advantages.
