Chapter Eighty-Seven: Let's Talk
Leng Qingxi finally sorted out his mind and continued to work.
When she got off work, her colleagues all looked at her with an ambiguous gaze, and Leng Qingxi held her face and wailed: "Oh no, I must have been regarded as a nymphomaniac by my colleagues." "It's all Mu Xuncheng's fault.
That being said, I still have to go home.
She deliberately had dinner out and returned to Mu's house slowly.
When Leng Qingxi came back, Mu Xuncheng was not at home, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as he walked to the door of his room, Lao Zhou came out of nowhere, and opened his mouth faintly: "Miss Leng, why did you come back, I have been waiting for you for a long time." β
Leng Qingxi, who was already a little weak-hearted, just wanted to sneak back to her room, it was best for no one to find herself, who knew that she was almost scared by Lao Zhou's voice.
She turned around and saw Lao Zhou standing behind her, looking at her with an impatient expression.
"Old Zhou, why are you following me without making a sound." Leng Qingxi patted his chest and asked tremblingly.
"I just saw that Miss Leng seemed to be in a hurry." Lao Zhou deliberately put the word "hurry" very seriously.
Leng Qingxi was a little embarrassed by him saying this, "Where, if you have something to do with me, just say it." β
"Oh, that's right, the kitchen left you dinner, but you never came back, let me ask you if you want to heat it up for you now?"
"What? Give me? Leng Qingxi pointed to his nose and asked in surprise.
"yes, that's right." Lao Zhou nodded calmly, as the housekeeper of the Mu family, Lao Zhou had never seen any winds and waves, so at this time, he was very disdainful of Leng Qingxi's exaggerated appearance.
"I've eaten it, no need, thank you." Leng Qingxi replied in a panic.
"Oh, well, then I'll let the kitchen guys rest." Lao Zhou continued.
"Well, thank you, if it's okay, I'll go back to the house first." Leng Qingxi lowered her head and pushed open the door.
"That's right, Miss Leng." Lao Zhou suddenly stopped Leng Qingxi.
"What?" Leng Qingxi's nerves were a little sensitive now, she turned her head, looked at Lao Zhou and asked.
"It's okay in the future, please try to come back as early as possible, the kitchen has prepared dinner for you."
"But I'd just get some of my own, or I can eat it myself." Leng Qingxi refused incoherently.
"This is the young master's order, we just do what the young master orders, if you don't want to eat, you should go and talk to the young master in person." But before that, I want you to respect the work of the chefs. β
"Okay, then." Leng Qingxi replied hesitantly.
Lao Zhou nodded and left satisfied.
Leng Qingxi walked into his room and threw himself on the bed all of a sudden, what is this! looks like a teacher asking for sin, how did I know that you would leave dinner.
I've been here for so long, who has ever cared about me Leng Qingxi? made such a decision without saying a word, and put on the appearance of a benefactor, who to see?
And what is Mu Xuncheng thinking? At the beginning, it was he who ordered his subordinates not to cook for him, and she prepared all three meals for Leng Qingxi, but now it is like this, is it a gratitude? Is it a reward? This Mu Xun City is a little too naΓ―ve.
Thinking about it, Leng Qingxi still doesn't have the courage to confront Mu Xuncheng face to face, and she interacted with him overnight, obviously taking care of a drunk person by herself, but she always feels that she is at a loss, in the final analysis, maybe it's just because she has a little bit of sympathy and heartache that she shouldn't have.
No, Leng Qingxi suddenly felt that she and Mu Xuncheng should not go on like this, since she already knew that there was an insurmountable wall in front of the two of them, then she should strangle all her thoughts in the cradle, and she wanted to have a good talk with Mu Xuncheng.
Mu Xuncheng has rarely gone home these days, and he is also hiding from something.
Often, after work, I would make an appointment with a few friends and go to the bar I often go to on weekdays to play until the middle of the night.
It's the same today, in fact, every morning when Leng Qingxi left, he knew it, and he also knew why she did it, so it was okay, the two of them couldn't see each other, and they were relieved.
However, standing on the balcony and seeing Leng Qingxi's back running out in a hurry, he still instructed Lao Zhou to bring food to Leng Qingxi in the future.
Lao Zhou raised his eyebrows, this Leng Qingxi is really not simple, first married into the Mu family, and then climbed into the young master's bed, and now, the young master's attitude towards her is becoming more and more unusual.
It seems that she really underestimated this woman, maybe in the future, she will really become the mistress of this Mu family, and she has been helping Ling Fei'er, so she won't be the wrong treasure.
But Mu Xuncheng's orders, of course he had to do it.
"Young Master, will you come back for dinner tonight?" Lao Zhou asked cautiously.
"These days, don't worry about me, I've had a lot of entertainment these days, if I come back to eat, I'll tell you in advance." Mu Xuncheng said boredly.
In fact, Mu Xuncheng was already tired of this kind of life, but he didn't know what better way to anesthetize himself besides coming to this kind of place.
After being with Ling Zhi'er, Mu Xuncheng had never been to such a place again, and at his level, there was no need for any deliberate greeting or entertainment.
Friends laughed at him for being trapped by Ling Zhi'er, and he unabashedly admitted that with Ling Zhi'er by his side, these glamorous things were really not attractive to him at all.
Later, Ling Zhi'er left, during that time, he was really worse than death, he was drunk almost every night, and every night he let himself get drunk like mud, lying in the arms of different women, but he never found that kind of warmth again.
Later, Ling Fei'er came to find her, to be honest, Ling Fei'er was still somewhat similar to Ling Zhi'er in appearance, and she was also drunk, and the rest of the matter became more and more out of control.
In fact, he had always known what Ling Fei'er thought about him, when he was with Ling Zhi'er, this girl stared at him with undisguised eagerness, and that naked love did not have any restraint at all because of Ling Zhi'er.
But she is Ling Zhi'er's only sister, even if she is uncomfortable, she can't let her only pretend not to see it.
Until Zhi'er left, at the beginning, he had always followed her instructions and took care of her as his sister, but he actually knew better than anyone else that Ling Fei'er's heart wanted more than that.
Later, Ling Fei'er climbed into his bed, and he simply went with the flow. Since he can't be with his beloved again in this life, then that's it, take care of her sister.
However, after being with Ling Fei'er, he would occasionally come to these places, and when he was particularly depressed, or on some special anniversaries, he would get himself drunk.
And now, in order to avoid a woman, he actually lives such a life again.
He sat in the box with a few friends, drinking glass after glass, and there were a few beautiful girls sitting next to several friends, and he was the only one drinking.
A friend sat down next to him with a wine glass: "I said Xuncheng, you haven't come to play with us in a while." β
"Yes, I heard that Fei'er went to Paris, what are you busy with during this time?" Another friend also leaned over and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that there have been a lot of things going on in the company lately." Mu Xuncheng said lightly.
"Hey, you're busy, Shizhong is also busy, a few of our good friends haven't gotten together for a long time, I called Shizhong today, and he actually said that there was something, you two are really fine, right? I haven't seen you since the last meeting. β
"What can we do?" Mu Xuncheng took a sip of wine and pretended not to care.
"It's okay, we're all worried about the two of you, we've had the best relationship with you since we were kids, and now we ...... seeing you two like this."
"Okay, when did you become such a mother-in-law, come and have a drink." Mu Xuncheng interrupted his friend's words and raised his glass.
Seeing this, a few friends didn't want to ask anything more, so they had to follow Mu Xuncheng and raise their wine glasses.
On this day, Mu Xuncheng drank with his friends until the middle of the night before calling the driver to pick him up and go home.
When he returned home, he unexpectedly found that he had been hiding for days, and he was also hiding from himself, and Leng Qingxi was sitting on the sofa, as if he was waiting for him.
Seeing Mu Xuncheng walk in, Leng Qingxi sat up from the sofa and said to the driver who was supporting Mu Xuncheng: "Young master, I'll take care of it, you can go back and rest first." β
The driver glanced at Mu Xuncheng and found that he didn't say anything else, so he nodded and retreated.
Leng Qingxi helped Mu Xuncheng onto the sofa and poured him another glass of water.
Mu Xuncheng covered his eyes with his arms, not knowing what he was thinking.
The two of them sat at opposite ends of the sofa, neither of them willing to compromise.
In the middle of the ring, Mu Xuncheng finally put down his hand, sat up, and asked, "It's so late, you are waiting for me, there must be something." β
Leng Qingxi glanced at Mu Xuncheng and said solemnly: "Mu Xuncheng, let's talk." β
"Okay, what are you going to talk about?" Mu Xuncheng raised his eyebrows and asked as if surprised.
"During this time, something happened, and there were a lot of misunderstandings between us." Leng Qingxi said.
"Heh, misunderstanding." Mu Xuncheng chuckled as if he had thought of something interesting.
"I know you're always looking at me with tinted glasses, but I don't care. Because, since the day I married into the Mu family, I never wanted to please you. Leng Qingxi said sharply.
Mu Xuncheng was noncommittal, he just raised his eyebrows and motioned for Leng Qingxi to continue.
"I took care of you that night because you were in a terrible situation at the time, so you don't have to feel that you owe me anything, and I definitely don't have the kind of scheming to get any benefit from you."
"Therefore, I don't need any courtesy from you, I've always been like this in this family, and you don't have to take care of me."
Mu Xuncheng is very smart and knows what Leng Qingxi is talking about.
He frowned and said, "What? I really didn't expect that there would be people who would refuse Young Master Ben. β
