A very ancient feeling arose in Mu Tingxiao's heart, like...can't bear it
He felt that the idea in his mind was a bit ridiculous.
There was nothing special about this woman, so why could he feel uncomfortable just watching her in the rain.
When he reacted, he found that he had already gotten out of the car with an umbrella.
He took three steps at a time and caught up with Mu Nuannuan.
"Miss Mu." After calling Mu Nuannuan, he couldn't help but curl his lips in a self-deprecating manner, and there was no smile in his eyes.
Mu Nuannuan covered her head with her bag and ran into the community. She heard footsteps behind her, but she didn't expect that it was Mu Tingxiao chasing after her.
"Mr. Mu, why are you here?"
As soon as Mu Nuannuan finished speaking, she heard a familiar male voice behind her.
"Nuan Nuan."
Mu Nuannuan only had time to glance at Mu Tingxiao, turned her head and looked to the other side, and saw Li Jiuheng.
"Li Jiuheng? Why did you come out?"
Li Jiuheng was wearing soft home clothes, holding a well-made plaid umbrella, and walked towards her calmly.
Mu Tingxiao's deep and cold voice sounded behind him: "Your friend?"
"It's... my fiancé." Mu Nuannuan didn't know why she hesitated.
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Nuannuan felt that the air pressure around her had dropped.
She turned to look at Mu Tingxiao in confusion.
However, there was no expression on Mu Tingxiao's face, nothing strange at all, and it was impossible to guess his mood at the moment.
At that moment, maybe she felt wrong.
At this time, Li Jiuheng had already walked up to the two of them.
His eyes swept back and forth between Mu Nuannuan and Mu Tingxiao, his eyes secretive.
Immediately, he reached out to Mu Nuannuan and said, "Nuannuan, come here."
When Mu Nuannuan heard this, she raised her feet and walked under Li Jiuheng's umbrella.
But as soon as she took a step, she felt her wrist being grabbed.
She looked sideways and found a man's hand on her wrist.
The man's hand was broad and strong, holding her wrist with neither light nor heavy force. His hand was a little hot, and the heat was amazing, as if it was going to penetrate through her skin and seep into her bones and blood.
"Mr. Mu, what's wrong with you?" Mu Nuannuan struggled, but did not shake Mu Tingxiao's hand away.
He didn't seem to be using much force, but it was hard to break free.
This Mr. Mu seems so untouchable, and now he is holding on to her
Mu Tingxiao looked down at her. The woman's complexion was unusually pale and looked a little sickly compared to ordinary people. But her cat-like eyes were inexplicably alluring.
Mu Tingxiao felt that he was really crazy.
When I heard this woman say that she had a fiancé, I felt inexplicably angry.
What's even more ridiculous is that the moment Mu Nuannuan was about to leave, he subconsciously reached out to hold her.
Even he himself didn't know why.
Li Jiuheng's eyes fell on Mu Tingxiao's hand holding Mu Nuannuan, and he moved away in an instant to look at Mu Tingxiao's face: "Sir, please let her go."
Mu Tingxiao frowned slightly, but still let go of Mu Nuannuan.
As soon as Mu Nuannuan was released, she immediately walked under Li Jiuheng's umbrella.
Li Jiuheng moved the umbrella in his hand towards her. Mu Nuannuan smiled at him, raised her head and said to Mu Tingxiao: "Mr. Mu, this is my fiancé, Li Jiuheng."
Then, she said to Li Jiuheng: "I went shopping with Xiaoliang today and met Mr. Mu's daughter in the mall... "
She explained the ins and outs of the matter to Li Jiuheng in a very simplified manner.
After hearing this, Li Jiuheng gave her a comforting smile, turned to look at Mu Tingxiao and said, "Thank you, Mr. Mu, for sending my fiancée back."
Mu Tingxiao had no expression on his face and didn't say a word. He just glanced at Mu Nuannuan with a solemn look, then turned and left.
He was holding a pure black umbrella, and his tall figure was hidden in the rain curtain, looking a little lonely and lonely.
Mu Nuannuan murmured: "What a weird-tempered person."
Suddenly a gust of wind blew over, and Mu Nuannuan's clothes were soaked through, and she shivered from the cold.
Li Jiuheng noticed her reaction, put his arm around her shoulders, and whispered: "Go back."
"Yeah." Mu Nuannuan responded, turning her head to glance at his hand on her shoulder, and moved it to the side calmly.
She was still not used to physical contact with Li Jiuheng.
I don't know if Li Jiuheng felt her resistance and let go of her hand the next second.
…
When Mu Tingxiao returned to the car, Mu Mu just woke up.
She was holding an empty milk carton and staring blankly at the roof of the car.
Seeing Mu Tingxiao come in, she turned her eyes to look at him and called out softly: "Dad."
Mu Tingxiao closed the car door and looked back at Mu Mu.
Mu Mu also blinked at him with eyes like black grapes.
The two father and daughter were in the carriage. You looked at me and I looked at you for a while.
Suddenly, Mu Tingxiao frowned.
There must be something wrong with the woman named Mu just now.
Even though it always gave him some inexplicable thoughts, now he actually felt that Mu Mu was a bit similar to that woman.
Mu Tingxiao drove home with a dark face.
Mu Mu was chattering all the way.
When they arrived at the door of the Mu family's old house, a servant came over holding an umbrella to help them open the door.
Mu Tingxiao carried Mu Mu directly into the door.
Mu Jinyun was sitting on the sofa in the hall, looking like she was going to accuse someone.
When he saw Mu Tingxiao coming in with Mu Mu in his arms, he snorted coldly and said with an ugly face: "You still know how to come back!"
Mu Jinyun's tone was cold and her voice was a bit loud.
Mu Mu was just a child after all. He was so frightened that he hugged Mu Tingxiao's neck tightly, tilted his head and leaned on his shoulder, not daring to look at Mu Jinyun.
Although she is usually a bit naughty, she still gets scared when she sees adults really angry.
Mu Tingxiao noticed her subtle reaction, reached out and patted her back comfortingly, and put her on the ground: "You are allowed to eat half a box of ice cream, go ahead."
Upon hearing the ice cream, Mu Mu's eyes lit up instantly.
Mu Tingxiao glanced at the servant standing behind him, and a maid came forward and led Mu Mu to the kitchen: "Little miss, let's go eat ice cream."
Only then did Mu Jinyun realize that she had just scared Mu Mu.
She looked a little uncomfortable, but she stiffened her neck and said: "How can you be so willful? You know how important today's meeting is, so how can you push it away..."
Mu Tingxiao sneered and looked at Mu Jinyun sharply: "Mu Mu almost lost it today, did you know?"
Mu Jinyun was stunned when she heard this: "What's going on? I heard from the servant that it's Su Mian..."
Mu Tingxiao's face was as cold as ice, and his tone was astonishingly cold: "Su Mian almost lost Mu Mu when he took her out. Should I settle the score with you or Su Mian for this matter?"
