This particular disease may be psychological, spiritual, or physical.
Li Jiuheng is full of secrets and is too complicated.
Mu Nuannuan lowered her eyes slightly, covering the emotions in her eyes, and asked, "Can we go in?"
"Come in." Li Jiuheng noticed that she had brought Mu Mu with her.
The smile on Li Jiuheng's face deepened a little deeper. He reached out to touch Mu Mu's head: "Mu Mu."
Mu Mu called out obediently: "Uncle Li."
Mu Nuannuan felt Mu Mu leaning towards her, seeming to reject Li Jiuheng a little.
Li Jiuheng turned around and walked inside, and Mu Nuannuan followed with Mu Mu.
After entering the study, Mu Nuannuan and Mu Mu sat down on the sofa.
"What do you want from me?" Mu Nuannuan asked him.
There was a kettle on the coffee table. While Li Jiuheng poured water for her, he said in a casual tone like chatting: "Don't you want to know what Mu Tingxiao and I said?"
Mu Nuannuan raised her eyes slightly, with no emotion in her eyes: "If you want to tell me, you can just say it."
On the other hand, Mu Mu on the side heard the words "Mu Tingxiao" and poked Mu Nuannuan's waist with her little hand. Mu Nuannuan looked back at her and saw doubt in Mu Mu's eyes.
When Mu Mu saw Mu Nuannuan looking at her, she whispered, "Dad."
Mu Nuannuan held her little hand in hers and said without raising her head: "If you want to tell me, just tell me."
She had seen Li Jiuheng throwing things in a rage outside Li Jiuheng's study before. She could naturally guess that Mu Tingxiao must not have said anything nice in Li Jiuheng's study before.
Li Jiuheng chuckled lightly, and his laughter sounded a bit cold.
He pushed the poured water in front of Mu Nuannuan, and his voice was so soft that it was almost tight: "Drink water."
"Thank you." Mu Nuannuan thanked her, but did not reach for the water.
The room fell silent for a moment, and neither of them spoke.
Mu Mu leaned against Mu Nuannuan, lowering his head and playing with the zipper on his clothes without making any noise.
It was like performing a silent farce. No one said anything special, but it had an inexplicable sense of absurdity and comedy.
After a long while, Li Jiuheng slowly said aloud: "We'll see, it's not certain who will win."
After speaking, he raised his head and gave Mu Nuannuan a meaningful smile.
There was a sense of competition in his tone.
He seemed to regard Mu Tingxiao as a powerful rival, and Mu Nuannuan was baffled as to why there was such a rivalry.
Mu Nuannuan curled her lips and said nothing.
…
In the evening, Mu Tingxiao came again.
Mu Nuannuan heard a noise outside. Before she could go out to see what was going on, Mu Tingxiao had already walked in from the hall door, and this time he brought Shi Ye with him.
There was still some distance between them and Mu Nuannuan. When Mu Nuannuan looked over, Mu Tingxiao also looked towards her, his eyes so deep that it was difficult to discern the true emotions in his eyes.
Shiye walked one step behind Mu Tingxiao and nodded slightly to Mu Nuannuan, just like before.
This made Mu Nuannuan feel dazed for a moment, as if they were in Mu Tingxiao's villa in Huyang City, rather than Li Jiuheng's villa in the foreign country M.
Li Jiuheng came downstairs with a serious look on his face, followed by A Luo.
He walked down the stairs, stood not far from Mu Tingxiao, and sneered: "Did Mr. Mu use my house as a vegetable market?"
Mu Tingxiao raised his eyebrows and said in a leisurely tone: "Mr. Li is belittling himself too much. I have never been to a vegetable market."
The remaining smile on Li Jiuheng's face also disappeared, but he still held back his temper and did not say anything to chase people away.
At this time, a servant came over: "Sir, dinner is ready."
Before Li Jiuheng could say anything, Shiye stepped forward and asked the servant: "How can I get to the restaurant?"
Shiye was wearing a well-dressed suit and looked cautious and polite. The servant thought he was Li Jiuheng's guest and pointed in the direction of the restaurant: "Go this way, and you'll find the restaurant."
"Thank you." After Shi Ye said this, he took a step back and stood aside to let Mu Tingxiao go first.
Mu Tingxiao walked directly to the restaurant as if he was at home, not polite at all, as if he was at home.
Mu Nuannuan had only seen Mu Tingxiao act unreasonable, but she had never seen him act like such an upright rogue.
Li Jiuheng is good at disguise. He habitually disguises himself as a good person, a gentleman who is thoughtful and cautious in his words and deeds.
If Li Jiuheng was a true gentleman, Mu Tingxiao's rogue behavior would not have any impact on him, but Li Jiuheng was just pretending.
In this way, Mu Tingxiao's actions are tantamount to challenging Li Jiuheng's bottom line.
It just depends on how long Li Jiuheng can endure it.
During this period of time, Li Jiuheng had no clear next plan except for causing a car accident to harm Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Nuannuan has been here for a while, and she has only been settled here.
When Li Jiuheng didn't take action, Mu Tingxiao tried every means to force him to take action.
When Mu Mu saw Mu Tingxiao walking towards the restaurant, he quickly pulled Mu Nuannuan towards the restaurant: "Mom, it's time to eat!"
"Let's go." Mu Nuannuan glanced at Li Jiuheng and took Mu Mu to the restaurant.
When Ah Luo saw this, he was so angry that he was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Jiuheng.
"Mu Tingxiao has gone too far. He is obviously relying on us not to act in the open, so he is so confident. And Mu Nuannuan, we have treated her well during this period, but she has no conscience at all!"
Aluo became more and more angry as he talked, and finally turned around and kicked the sofa next to him.
"Let's go and eat." Li Jiuheng's mood had already calmed down.
When he and A Luo entered the restaurant, Mu Tingxiao and Mu Nuannuan were already seated.
Mu Nuannuan sat next to Mu Tingxiao, and Shi Ye sat opposite them.
After Li Jiuheng came in, he sat directly at the main seat, and A Luo sat next to Shi Ye.
This dinner was very strange. Except for Li Jiuheng and A Luo, everyone else ate very well, especially Mu Mu.
"Dad, this is delicious... I want that..." Mu Mu has short hands and can use chopsticks, but she is not very good at picking up food. Adults usually do it for her.
Mu Tingxiao was here today, so she naturally relied on Mu Tingxiao to pick up food for her.
Mu Tingxiao patiently took care of Mu Mu to eat, and the closeness between his biological father and daughter was vividly displayed.
But Mu Nuannuan noticed that Li Jiuheng's face became increasingly ugly.
Mu Tingxiao and Mu Mu are close, can this also stimulate Li Jiuheng
She observed Li Jiuheng calmly and found that Li Jiuheng's emotions became more and more obvious.
