Chapter 70: The Gift
After eating, they lingered for a while before they set off for the mountain.
Jiang Cheng's phone came over before he reached the foot of the mountain.
On the way back, Mu Cheng's mood has always been very light, his eyes fell on the window, and his expression was in a trance.
After a moment, she blinked, gathered her thoughts, and looked through the rearview mirror to Jiang Cheng.
"When will Shi Qin finish his work?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at her and said vaguely, "The matter is more urgent, and the time is uncertain for the time being." ”
Mr. Xiao repeatedly explained on the phone that he must hide the news.
Mu Cheng was very dissatisfied with this answer, "Go to Xiao's, don't go back to the sanatorium first." ”
Jiang Cheng's heart froze, and his answer was quite calm, "Mr. Xiao is not in the company at the moment, and when you go to the construction site, I will send you back to the sanatorium first." ”
What Mu Cheng wanted to ask was never Xiao Shiqin's whereabouts, and Jiang Cheng's two excuses just confirmed her guess even more.
She lowered her eyes, and after a while, she changed her words again, "In that case, let's go to Linglong Bay." ”
This time, Jiang Cheng didn't make any more excuses, and turned the steering wheel after answering.
Half an hour later, the car stopped firmly in front of the villa.
Mu Cheng opened the door and got out of the car, but before she could take two steps, Jiang Cheng stopped her behind her.
He chased after him with a paper bag in his hand, seemed to hesitate, and paused for a few seconds before handing over the things, "Miss Mu, this is a gift from Mr. Xiao to you." ”
Mu Cheng took it, and the packaging bag was printed with the well-known and luxurious LOGO of country F, but there were obvious traces of damage and wrinkles in the corners.
It's not like something that Xiao Shiqin would give out.
Noticing her expression, Jiang Cheng explained, "This was at the international airport, and Mr. Xiao smashed it in a fit of anger." At that time, he received a call that you were going to Minato City. ”
Mu Cheng's face froze for a moment, half drooping his eyelids, and said after a while: "I know." ”
Then, he turned around and entered the villa.
——
Xiao Shiqin came out of the letter, and it was already dark outside.
Getting in the car, he didn't rush to leave, he rubbed his eyebrows, and took out his mobile phone to dial Mu Cheng's phone.
The bell rang for a long time, and just as he was about to hang up, the other end picked up.
Xiao Shiqin asked, "Did you sleep?" ”
"Not yet." Mu Cheng's tone was a little absent-minded, "Are you coming back?" ”
There was a "clang" sound from the earpiece, as if something was bubbling out, Xiao Shiqin felt strange, "What are you doing?" ”
"I'm cooking......"
Before the words could be spoken, there was a short scream of a woman on the other end of the phone, accompanied by the sound of something shattering.
"Orange Orange! Mu Cheng! ”
Xiao Shiqin's hand holding the mobile phone suddenly tightened, and he started the car while calling Jiang Cheng.
It used to take twenty minutes to travel, but today Xiao Shiqin took less than fifteen minutes.
He rushed into the house, and when he saw the whole person on the sofa, his hanging heart finally settled down a little.
Hearing the movement, Mu Cheng raised his eyes and looked at him, "Shi Qin, you go and turn off the fire for the soup on the stove." ”
As soon as these words came out, the coldness that had just dispersed on Xiao Shiqin's face came up again. His face was very heavy, his eyes were very cold, and his eyes locked on Mu Cheng's body for a few seconds before turning around and walking into the kitchen.
On the ground was a brown shard, clearly recognizable as the lid of a crockpot.
Xiao Shiqin glanced at it, stepped over, and turned off the fire according to what Mu Cheng said.
When he came out, he passed by the dining table, and there was a paper bag on it, and the familiar logo made him pause.
Immediately, his face swept over and sat down on the sofa.
