Mu Jiachen raised his head and carefully looked at Mu Nuannuan's face.
Seeing that Mu Nuannuan's expression was as usual, he continued: "Sister Qingning is a photographer. One time she went to take pictures of snow scenes and encountered an avalanche. The search and rescue team never found her..."
After talking about it, Mu Jiachen's voice became quieter.
Mu Nuannuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"When did that happen?" Mu Nuannuan raised her head and asked him.
Mu Jiachen said: "Five years ago."
"Your brother and her..."
Mu Jiachen pursed his lips and looked a little sad with his eyes lowered: "She is my brother's fiancée."
Mu Nuannuan opened her mouth, feeling speechless for a moment.
She lowered her head and glanced at the message sent to her by her boss Cheng Yu on her mobile phone, moved her fingers and replied: "Okay, I will talk to Mu Tingxiao."
When encountering an avalanche, the search and rescue team failed to find anyone. Most of them were already dead, buried in the snow, and could not be found.
Mu Nuannuan's heart felt a little blocked, and all the previous emotions were gone.
A long time ago, Mu Nuannuan had a vague feeling that Mu Tingxiao seemed a little disgusted with her having too much contact with Si Chengyu.
Now that I think about it, that's probably the reason.
Mu Nuannuan asked Mu Jiachen again: "She and I really look alike?"
Mu Jiachen saw that Mu Nuannuan's expression was as usual, so he said truthfully: "I think it looks quite similar."
Mu Nuannuan fell silent and stopped talking.
…
Before lunch, Mu Tingxiao came back.
Lunch was cooked by the bodyguard, and since Mu Nuannuan was a wounded person, it was naturally impossible for her to cook.
Mu Tingxiao put down his chopsticks without eating much, and Mu Nuannuan didn't eat much either. Only Mu Jiachen ate the most enthusiastically.
Mu Jiachen finished his meal and went out in a few moments.
Mu Tingxiao and Mu Nuannuan were still sitting facing each other, when Mu Tingxiao suddenly said: "What do you want to say?"
Mu Nuannuan looked up in surprise. He knew she had something to say to him even before she opened her mouth
Mu Ting could see her thoughts from her expression: "It's written all over your face, you have something to say to me, you have questions to ask me."
"..." Mu Nuannuan touched her face. Is it that obvious
Mu Nuannuan cleared her throat: "Can I ask anything?"
Mu Tingxiao raised his eyebrow slightly. When he went out in the morning, when the woman was talking to him, she wanted to bite him. Now she was hesitant to speak, which made her even more suspicious.
Mu Tingxiao curled his lips and looked at her with a half-smile: "Since you know in your heart that you can't ask, then don't ask."
"You are only allowed to investigate me, but I can't ask you questions?" Mu Nuannuan also raised her lips and smiled, staring straight at him with bright eyes: "You also think that Qing Ning and I look similar, right?"
The original leisurely expression on Mu Tingxiao's face suddenly disappeared, and his expression became a little gloomy: "Xiao Chen told you?"
"If it's something you really want to know, even if others don't tell me, I can still know it!"
When Mu Tingxiao heard this, he was sure that Mu Jiachen told her this. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "He told you that you are very similar to Qing Ning?"
Qing Ning
It's such a sweet call.
Mu Tingxiao always called her "Mu Nuannuan", but when he wanted her to attend the dinner, he called her "wife".
Mu Nuannuan felt that she was ridiculous, being jealous of a woman who was most likely no longer in this world.
Mu Nuannuan pursed her lips and kept a straight face without speaking.
Mu Tingxiao suddenly said: "I don't think you two look alike at all."
He dropped these words, got up and left.
…
Because of the mention of Qing Ning, the relationship between Mu Nuannuan and Mu Tingxiao, which had not eased in the first place, became even more stalemate.
Staying with Mu Tingxiao, Mu Nuannuan felt that something was wrong all over her body. At night, she simply went to sleep in the room where she lived before with a pillow in her arms.
As soon as she lay down on the bed, Mu Tingxiao came over.
He stood at the door, crossing his arms and looking at her expressionlessly: "Mu Nuannuan, are you going to sleep in a separate room with me?"
Mu Tingxiao's expressionless look made Mu Nuannuan feel a little scared.
She hesitated for a moment, then made an excuse and said, "I have an injury on my foot. I'm afraid you might accidentally touch my foot at night."
When Mu Tingxiao heard this, the corners of his lips curved into a mocking arc: "You fainted in the bathroom last night and I didn't even touch your feet. How can I touch them after you sleep?"
"..." Mu Nuannuan's face turned red and she opened her lips, but couldn't find what she wanted to say.
She threw the small pillow beside her towards Mu Tingxiao: "Get out!"
Mu Tingxiao dodged lightly and softened his tone slightly: "Stop making trouble, go back to your room and sleep."
It was obviously him who had been showing off to him all day long. Although he usually had no expression, today was particularly different. He spoke less, his expression was colder, and he occasionally wandered off.
He was fine when he came back, but since she mentioned Qing Ning to him, something has gone wrong with him.
Do you really think she can't see it
He could investigate her as a person and everything that happened to her since childhood, but she just asked him about his cousin's fiancée, and he was so abnormal.
He is so abnormal because of other women, can't she express her dissatisfaction and displeasure
Does this look like nonsense to him
Everything he does is right, so is it nonsense for her to express her dissatisfaction
Damn that nonsense!
The more Mu Nuannuan thought about it, the angrier she became: "I won't go back!"
What happened at the banquet that day was also a knot in Mu Nuannuan's heart.
"That day at the dinner, my eldest brother just held my hand. Why did you react so loudly? What are you doubting? What are you angry about? Even if you are angry, just go and fight with your eldest brother! You torment me What kind of!"
The more Mu Nuannuan thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, and her voice was sharp and a bit aggressive.
Very few people and things could affect Mu Tingxiao's emotions, and his series of inexplicable reactions were all related to Qing Ning.
"The reason why you reacted so strongly is because you have long thought that Qing Ning and I look alike, right? And Si Chengyu also thought that Qing Ning and I looked alike, so he held me in confusion while drinking. Don’t let go of your hand, you know this, that’s why you’re angry!”
"Mu Tingxiao, ask yourself, are you angry at Si Chengyu for holding my hand, or are you angry at Si Chengyu for holding Qing Ning's hand?"
"You said you thought Qing Ning and I looked alike. That was a lie. You lied to me!"
Mu Nuannuan finished speaking in one breath, feeling a little excited and out of breath.
Mu Tingxiao stood at the door with a serious face, and after a while he said, "You think so?"
"It doesn't matter what I think. What matters is what you think in your heart!" Mu Nuannuan smiled sourly: "When I first married into the Mu family, although you showed that you disliked me, you flirted with me from time to time. It was also because I look like Qing Ning, right?"
This time, the gloominess on Mu Tingxiao's face gradually cracked, revealing a hint of panic: "Mu Nuannuan, don't talk nonsense!"
