When the fifth master usually faces Xingyue, he has always smiled more than serious.

Suddenly seeing the fifth master's sad smile, Xing Yue suddenly discovered that the fifth master was already an old man.

Overnight, there seemed to be a few more strands of gray hair in the temples of the fifth master.

"Father, what are you?" Xingyue was surprised.

The fifth master reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth: "It's Xiao Xingyue, are you up?" ”

"Father, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with it? I'll contact the doctor right away to get you checked! ”

As he spoke, Xingyue turned around and was about to run back.

But in the next second, he was stopped by the fifth master.

"I'm fine, even if I call a doctor, it's useless." The fifth master waved his hand, signaling that Xingyue didn't need to call a doctor.

He put his hands behind his back and began to walk slowly along the edge of the lake again.

Xingyue didn't worry about him, so she also stayed by his side.

After walking silently for a while, the fifth master spoke again.

"Ling Yan has worked too hard all these years."

Looking at the fifth master, Xing Yue was a little puzzled, why the fifth master suddenly mentioned this matter.

Thinking of Mu Lingyan's depressed mood after coming back last night, and then contacting the fifth master's abnormal mood now.

Could it be that last night, there was something talking between the father and son of the fifth master and Ling Yan?

Thinking of the past events that I had heard the fifth master mention before, their hardships in Southeast Asia, and the ups and downs of working hard in the United States.

Xing Yue said sincerely: "My father raised Ling Yan even harder. If it weren't for his father's hard work in society with Ling Yan over the years, Ling Yan would not have grown into the person he is now, who can take charge of himself. The credit of my father must not be erased. ”

But who knows, the fifth master still shook his head.

"Over the years, I have neglected Ling Yan for Feng'er's sake." The fifth master sighed, "But, I'm really angry with him, he ......"

Speaking of this, the fifth master paused.

Xing Yue listened in a fog, and didn't understand what the fifth master was talking about.

Maple?

Is it Qin Feng? Is it the fifth master's biological son?

Seeing the fifth master looking so sad, could it be that Ling Yan said something?

"Father, what did Ling Yan do to make you so angry?" Xingyue thought about it for a while, and finally asked.

Sighing, the fifth master waved his hand: "That's it, don't talk about it, in the end, it's still not good for me." ”

The fifth master continued to walk forward, and his voice gradually became quieter, more like his own self-talk: "...... Blame me for not having a good education. That's why he will do anything for money now, alas, it's me who is not good, it is me who is not good......"

muttering in his mouth, the fifth master shook his head and walked in front.

Xingyue was left alone, following behind him, racking his brains to think about the words he had just heard.

What does Qin Wuye's words mean when Ling Yan "doesn't care about his family for money"?

This thought has been haunting Xingyue's heart.

So after accompanying the fifth master back, she immediately went back to the room.

I heard Xiaoyou say just now that Mu Lingyan has already gotten up.

Sure enough, when Xingyue came back, Mu Lingyan had just come out of the shower.

The muscular figure is covered by a bath towel that covers the lower half of the body.

On the wheat-colored skin, there are traces of water marks left by the water droplets rolling down.

He wiped his hair and walked out of the bathroom, and he saw Xingyue in front of him.

The expressionless face immediately had a smile.

"You woke up early today, where did you go?"

He strode over and hugged her.

Feeling the dampness of her clothes, he frowned.

"What's the tide on your body, you went to the lake?"

Xingyue nodded: "Well, when I got up this morning and saw my father walking by the lake, I went with him." ”

"Don't go to the lake in the morning and evening, it's wet and cold." He put on a stern face and said sternly.

Xingyue pouted when she saw that he was teaching himself a lesson again.

Always reprimand yourself like a child.

But in the next second, she remembered what she had just wanted to ask.

"By the way, Ling Yan, let me ask you something." She struggled softly in the crook of his arm, trying to look at him face to face.

But Mu Lingyan refused to let go.

"No, just ask."

He buried his face in Xingyue's neck, sniffing the scent that emanated from her body, similar to his own.

"Oh, you're serious."

But the hot breath he spewed out was itchy and uncomfortable on Xingyue's neck!

Unconsciously, her words also had some coquettish tones.

Mu Lingyan immediately caught this change, and her lips began to peck lightly, messing around her neck.

The heat coming from his skin, ironing Xingyue's.

There were bursts of numbness, and Xingyue blushed but couldn't dodge.

"Ling Yan! I'm going to be! ”

Finally, being harassed by Ling Yan couldn't bear it anymore, Xing Yue suddenly said angrily.

Probably never saw Xingyue have such a reaction, and Mu Lingyan finally stopped playing.

He put on a coat and sat across from Xingyue.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Ling Yan, what did you talk about with your father last night?"

Hearing Xing Yue ask like this, Mu Lingyan raised his eyebrows.

"What? What did your father tell you this morning? ”

Xingyue bit her lip and didn't answer immediately.

But in front of Mu Lingyan, her slightest reaction would be keenly captured.

"Sure enough, my father told you something!"

A sneer tugged at the corner of his lips.

"How did he describe me to you, did he mean that I was cold-blooded and ruthless, and didn't care about my family's feelings?"

"Don't get me wrong, my father didn't tell me anything bad about you." Xingyue immediately waved her hand and hesitated for a moment before she finally said, "Father said that it was his fault that he didn't take care of you and failed to take care of your feelings." ”

The words in Xingyue's mouth made Mu Lingyan pause.

The fifth master of Qin in his impression has always been a conceited and strong man, and he will never bow to anyone.

It didn't look like what he said just now would come out of his mouth.

But he has always liked Xingyue very much, and what is the value of being soft to Xingyue?

At this time, when the fifth master just came back, the check given to Xingyue resurfaced in front of him.

Don't......

The doubts in his eyes turned cold again.

Could it be that he planned to let me take care of his good through Xingyue, so that I could let Qin Feng go?

Oh, for the sake of his son, he really took great pains.

It's a pity that since Qin Feng has chosen the path of drug trafficking, unless he can repent of it.

Otherwise, I will never let him go!

The chaos I saw in Southeast Asia in those years, the people who died because of drugs, and the corpse of my mother that gradually became cold, all reminded Mu Lingyan that he must not be soft!

Xing Yue, who was sitting opposite Mu Lingyan, clearly saw the emotional changes in Mu Lingyan's eyes.

"Ling Yan?" She shouted softly.

Xingyue's voice pulled Mu Lingyan back from his memories.

He stood up suddenly, took off his coat, and said coldly: "Let my father think less!" Want to let me go because of my family's affection through you? He dreamed! Unless one day Qin Feng gives up transporting poison, otherwise, if he doesn't stop for a day, I won't let him go for a day. Even if I want to track him down for five or ten years, I will definitely not give up! ”

After saying this, he snorted coldly and walked into the cloakroom.

Leaving Xingyue alone, she sat on the edge of the bed and was shocked.

What did Ling Yan say just now?

Qin Feng...... Transporting drugs?!

No wonder.

No wonder Ling Yan would be in a bad mood every time he came into contact with something related to Qin Feng!

It turned out that something like this happened to Qin Feng!

His mother died because of drugs!

I still remember that even when my father mentioned this matter, his heart would be like a knife!

***

Because of this incident, Mu Lingyan did not have breakfast with everyone in the morning.

With a cold face, he left straight in front of Fifth Master Qin, and he didn't even have a daily greeting.

The fifth master looked at his disappearing back, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

Seeing all this, Xingyue's heart was distressed and anxious.

Yang Xueqi also noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere, and she also had her own worries, so breakfast ended in silence.

"Xueqi."

After the meal, Xingyue stopped Yang Xueqi in the living room.

"Xueqi, I'm not going to work today, you go, there will be a driver to take you there." Xingyue said hesitantly.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Yang Xueqi asked in a low voice.

Xingyue shook her head.

"I'm fine, but there's something else to do."

Yang Xueqi saw that Xingyue had something in her heart, but it was difficult to say it, and then thought of Mu Lingyan's bad mood this morning, and guessed that it might be their family matter.

Since it is a family matter, she is an outsider, so it is difficult to ask anything.

"Okay, then I'll go to work first. But don't carry it yourself, if I can help, remember to find me. Yang Xueqi said sincerely.

Xingyue nodded: "Well, I know." You too, if there is anything, you must remember, you still have me. ”

What she said was the people and things she met the night before when she celebrated Tang Xinhang's birthday.

Yang Xueqi understood and pulled the corners of her mouth.

Seeing Yang Xueqi away, Xing Yue came to the outside of the fifth master's room and knocked on the door a few times.

"Buckle buckle."

After a while, I heard the deep voice of the fifth master in the room.

"Who?"

"Father, it's me. Can I come in? ”

With the consent of the fifth master, Xing Yue pushed the door open.

"It's Xiao Xingyue, what's the matter?" The fifth master put down the book in his hand.

Xing Yue noticed that the book was the album book that the fifth master had shown him before, with old photos of him and Mu Lingyan.

"Father looks at the photos again, does he remember the past?" She asked.

The fifth master nodded and pinched his eyebrows.

"When people are old, they like to remember the past."

"Father, I ......" Xingyue hesitated how to speak.

"If you have something to say, is there anything else between you and me?" The fifth master looked at Xingyue with a smile.

"Father, if one day, Ling Yan did something to Qin Feng, would you forgive Ling Yan?"
