At this point, she didn't dare to call anymore, for fear that it would disturb him. During the recent period, he has been distressed enough that she really can't call him anymore. So, I picked up the phone and put it down again, forcing myself to suppress my anxiety.
Don't think about it!
He is an adult now, she doesn't have to worry so much!
Thinking this way, he took a glass of water and leaned against the sofa to rest. There was a mess in my mind, and I didn't feel sleepy anymore. In a trance, I always seemed to hear footsteps outside the door. I looked through the cat's eyes, but I couldn't see anything.
One night, it passed so nervously. When she was exhausted, she finally fell asleep leaning on the sofa.
When Sister Chen came over to make breakfast, she was seen shrinking on the sofa. Busily took the blanket from the room and put it on her. She slept very shallowly and woke up with a slight movement. He opened his eyes in a daze, rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up holding the blanket.
"Why do you sleep on the sofa? The belly is so big, and I don't pay attention. Mr. Mu is really too, it doesn't matter." Sister Chen murmured, like complaining to her daughter.
"He's back?" Mo Xiaoguo's eyes lit up slightly.
"You said Mr. Mu? He was not at home last night? No wonder you slept here. However, I just came over and didn't see him."
"Let me see!" Mo Xiaoguo threw away the thin blanket and stepped on the floor with his feet closed. Pushing open the door eagerly, the empty inside of the door also made her heart sink a bit.
"Did Mr. Mu go on a business trip? But last night I just couldn't come back for dinner." Sister Chen also glanced at the empty room.
Mo Xiaoguo frowned, is he too suspicious? I always feel that things seem weird.
After all, he couldn't help it, turned around and took the phone in the lobby and dialed the familiar number.
"Sorry, the call you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please call again later..."
Mechanical sound, cold and hollow.
She didn't give up, and continued to call again, but the answer to her was still the same.
The anxiety in my heart also expanded accordingly.
Trapped in this shabby place, Mu Beicheng was restless and depressed.
At dawn, he came out of the room.
"Beicheng, I woke up." Li Ruo was already in the hall, doing a stretch.
"Auntie." He said hello.
Li Ruo stopped and said, "Hurry up and wash, and come out for breakfast later. Today, my aunt specially asked the kitchen to make the porridge you like. By the way, your mother gave you a few pieces of your clothes. I was yesterday. Put it in your room, do you see it?"
Mu Beicheng really didn't know what to say. Even the clothes were collected ahead of time, so now this situation is basically everyone's plan ahead of time. Only he was like a fool who was coaxed here by a word from the old man.
"Is Grandpa getting up?" Mu Beicheng glanced at the door that was still closed.
"Not yet! The old man has been working so hard lately. I've broken my heart because of your uncle..." Li Ruo's eyes were hot, looking at Mu Beicheng, Mu Beicheng's expression was slightly condensed, and Li Ruocai continued: "I was still sitting last night. I came here specially for the car after so long. You also know that the old man's body is not as good as the day, and his blood pressure may rise at any time. So, Beicheng, you must remember to say something carefully and don't be impulsive."
How could Mu Beicheng not understand the meaning of his aunt's words? He nodded slightly, "I'll wait for Grandpa to wake up."
After that, he turned around and prepared to go back to his room. At this time, another door was suddenly opened.
Lu Ying slept in that room. At this moment, she is already neatly dressed-her hair is scattered randomly, looking a little lazy. A small orange jacket and a short mini skirt set the figure just right. With her eyes moving, she saw Mu Beicheng at a glance.
He stood there, his expression indifferent, as if he was a thousand miles away.
Seeing Lu Ying, his eyes didn't stop, and he turned around to leave. Li Ruo reached out and dragged him, "Beicheng!"
"Auntie?" Mu Beicheng frowned calmly.
Avoiding Lu Ying, Li Ruo looked at him pleadingly again, his eyes hot, and his hoarse voice was suppressed low, "You must help your uncle! Please!"
Mu Beicheng's hand hanging down to his side was slightly clenched, but he patiently said again: "Auntie, there are some things beyond my ability."
Li Ruo’s eyes were filled with disappointment, "Have you forgotten? Your uncle loved you the most when you were a kid. He brought you so many gifts every time he went abroad... Beicheng, don’t be so ruthless... Auntie doesn’t ask you to marry her, just Please change your attitude a little bit and coax her, okay?"
Li Ruo's words caused Mu Beicheng to fall into deep silence. The dark colors flowed in the deep pupils, and he sighed helplessly, his complexion a little more microsoft.
Li Ruochang breathed a sigh of relief and said'thank you' over and over again, and then greeted Lu Ying with a loud voice, "Xiaoying, let Beicheng go outside with you. The air is fresh in the morning, so it's for exercise."
"Okay." Lu Ying happily agreed as if she couldn't see the ice on the surface of Mu Beicheng.
Quiet morning.
The transparent morning light pierced through the clouds and enveloped the entire villa. The bushes on both sides of the cobblestone path were still stained with water droplets. This is a lush morning, but Mu Beicheng's mood is definitely inversely proportional to the scenery at the moment.
He just pursed his lips the whole time without making a sound. Lu Ying took a deep breath, stretched her waist, and sighed, "It's in a good mood!"
"I believe you would be in a better mood without me." Mu Beicheng glanced at her, "You can take a walk by yourself, I have other things."
He still has to find a way to get out of here!
Even if there are no taxis or buses, if you are lucky, you may occasionally encounter a private car buying a house here. However, this kind of place is too inconvenient. Most of the residents buy it for the elderly, so they are now vacant.
Lu Ying didn't even think about it, she stretched out her hand and grabbed him.
"Mu Beicheng, do you know why I am in a good mood?" He stared at her solemnly. He really didn't have any interest in knowing her mood.
"It's not because you are by your side, or because of the beautiful scenery here, but..." She smiled, with revenge in her eyes, "Seeing you being forced and forced to stay by my side by everyone, I feel Very refreshing! Looking at you so embarrassed, my mood improved inexplicably."
Mu Beicheng was not annoyed, but just looked at her with a faint expression, "Is it? I'm so glad that I didn't marry you back then. Everything now just proves that my original decision was not wrong."
"You!" Lu Ying was blocked by his words.
He spoke so plainly, without even a slight emotional ups and downs, as if he was talking about a topic that was not important at all. She felt weak and frustrated as if she slammed a fierce punch on the cotton ball.
"Mu Beicheng, are you so unfeeling? Are you not afraid of your second uncle going to jail?" She gritted her teeth and asked angrily.
"Fear." He nodded with a clear breeze, and the next moment, the conversation turned sharply, "However, compared with the second uncle's imprisonment, I have something that scares me more—"
She narrowed her eyes and looked at him.
He laughed and said faintly: "That's marrying a woman who doesn't love at all. For example, you!"
Lu Ying stared fiercely, refusing to let her tears fall out of her eyes. However, looking at his unfeeling and cold back, standing in the morning light, her tears suddenly resembled a kite with a broken thread.
"Mu Beicheng! You bastard!" She screamed out of control.
He paused.
But, just for a moment, he moved forward again.
"You are too much! It was you who took me first, so why dare you to say such hurtful things like this?" She was emotionally broken.
but…
The people in front never stopped. Not even for a moment!
That figure was so unrelenting as to fade out of her life, desperate! Suddenly she became frightened, sniffed, trot forward, and suddenly hugged his waist tightly from behind.
Mu Beicheng was forced to stop.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the hand on his waist. He didn't move his hand away, but drank coldly, "Lu Ying!"
"Don't tell me to let go! I won't let go, and I can't let go!" She cried, her face pressed against his straight back, and she wiped all the tears on his clothes, "I didn't mean to force you. It's not that I really want to use your second uncle to force you. But... I know, if I don't do this, there is really no possibility between us! You have been completely fascinated by Mo Xiaoguo! Maybe! , I hate you the way I look now, but I'm just trying to win you over!"
Mu Beicheng took her hand away, turned around, looked down at her, "I'm sorry..."
She choked, suddenly stood on her toes, held his face, and sent her lips toward her without hesitation.
It came too suddenly, Mu Beicheng was taken aback for a moment. But the next second, he reflexively pushed her away. The dark tide in his eyes surged like a storm.
"You are really inexplicable!" As if disappointed to her to the utmost, Mu Beicheng gave her a heavy look, wiped his lips, turned and left. I didn't want to look at her any more for a moment.
Looking at the back who left, tears still hung from the corners of Lu Ying's eyes. She stood there, standing in the morning light, but her expression became more and more gloomy.
Mu Beicheng!
You will regret this!
Will!
Mu Beicheng is under house arrest!
He was a little annoyed by the fact! No matter how you tell the old man, the old man just doesn't let go. Do not! At this time, there is no car and no communication equipment, even if the old man is relieved, everyone can't get out of here.
Tomorrow Mo Xiaoguo is going to have a prenatal check-up, so he must leave here today!
Noon.
Mu Beicheng had no appetite, so he put his chopsticks and stood outside the villa early, looking at the only way.
"Second brother! Second brother!" Mu Miao suddenly came out from the bushes, whispered to him, and kept beckoning to her.
What is this little ghost doing
When Mu Beicheng saw her in a gloomy mood, it was a little relieved. After a few steps, she knocked on her head, "It's not too young, why are you still hiding in the garden to play?"
"I'm not for fun. I'll tell you..." She stood up, embarrassed on her tiptoes, trying to whisper to him, but the second brother was too high, she couldn't reach it, so she waved her hand to make him squat down. . Mu Beicheng squatted down and put his ears over.
She babbled for a while.
After a while, Mu Beicheng looked at her, "Really?"
"Of course! The uncle next door will drive over in a while. I am responsible for pushing away the people guarding the door. You go out quickly and let the uncle take you out of here." Mu Miao made arrangements quickly. It took her a lot of effort to meet someone next door. And, luck is so good! The other party happened to be going back to the city today.
Mu Beicheng looked at her who planned for him, his eyes were deep, and he hugged her with one arm, "Do you blame the second brother for being unkind?"
"Don't say it, besides, I might regret it!" Mu Miao glared at him, "I'll go and leave the person guarding the door now."
