Lin Qing frowned, forgetting about the porridge in the pot, and held Mu Li's face with her two small hands: "Am I right?"
Somehow, Mu Li's heart skipped a beat, as if there was something he could no longer hold on to.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Was I not nice to you before?" He lowered his head to look at her without any trace of shame.
Lin Qing curled her lips and gently pinched his face before letting go: "You are so shameless."
It was a long time later that Lin Qing finally understood that when Mu Li said "before" he meant to ask her, was I not good to you before I lost my memory
Mu Li raised his eyebrows slightly, leaned over and kissed Lin Qing's lips. There was a faint fragrance on her lips, which was the fragrance left by the porridge she had just tasted.
His kiss was not deep, but it was addictive. Lin Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, and her face gradually turned red. After a long time, Mu Li let her go. Lin Qing leaned on his chest and moaned softly. The heat in the kitchen was tinged with a layer of desire.
Mu Li pinched her chin and leaned close to her lips: "Still want it?"
Lin Qing was about to push him away when he suddenly heard the sound of bubbles gurgling. Lin Qing frowned and listened carefully, then suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Porridge!
She stretched out her hand to push Mu Li away, but was pulled back into his arms.
"The porridge is about to burst, let me go." Lin Qing struggled, and the sound of bubbles became louder and louder.
"Let go?" Mu Li buried her little face in his chest and lowered his head to kiss her again, "I don't even know how to write the word let go."
"Hmm!" His lips were burned by the kiss, and Lin Qing pounded his shoulders but couldn't get away.
Mu Li held her shoulders and pushed her to the kitchen counter. Lin Qing blushed and turned her head away: "This is the kitchen..."
Mu Li turned her head back to look at him: "I think the kitchen is good."
Lin Qing's two little hands kept patting his chest. He forced her to tilt her head up, and her clear eyes were slightly misty, which made the man's heart tremble slightly.
"Don't..." Lin Qing pushed a few times but it didn't work, his penis had already penetrated inside.
Mu Li held her down with one hand on the kitchen counter, and unplugged the porridge pot with the other hand. The hot steam rose straight out, rushed up high and spread everywhere.
The whole kitchen was filled with the fragrance of porridge.
After the kiss, Lin Qing fell limp in his arms. When she turned her head, she found that the power supply of the pot had been unplugged.
"Let's eat." Mu Li lifted her chin and went to serve the rice while saying this.
Lin Qing stood there in a daze, staring at Mu Li. What happened to him today
Mu Li poured a bowl of porridge and handed it to Lin Qing: "If you don't want to eat, then eat you."
Lin Qing immediately took the bowl and took it out.
After dinner, Mu Li went to the study. He didn't eat much and drank less than half of the bowl of porridge. Lin Qing cleared the dishes on the table before going upstairs and stopped at the door of the study.
She thought about it carefully and felt that Mu Li was really a little abnormal today.
With his ear pressed against the door, the room was so quiet that he could not hear anything. Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to turn around, the door suddenly opened and a big hand grabbed Lin Qing into an embrace.
"Are you eavesdropping?" Mu Li pushed her against the wall with one arm across his face.
Lin Qing felt guilty when he looked at her: "No, I was just passing by."
"Oh?" Mu Li came close to her face, almost touching her nose, "You're going to stand at the door for a while when you pass by, right?"
It turns out he heard it all.
Lin Qing's footsteps were very light, but they could not resist the man's keen hearing. Mu Li could clearly count how many steps she took from the stairs to the study door.
"Then what are you doing in the study that you dare not let me know?" Lin Qing bit her lip, raised her little face and stared straight into his eyes, "Are you hiding something from me?"
In fact, she was just guessing, there was no evidence at all, but Mu Li's eyes darkened for a moment and fell into her eyes.
Is there really something you are hiding from her
Lin Qing's eyes were filled with disappointment, and he smiled: "Okay, I won't ask you anymore. Don't work too late, and go to bed early."
She pushed Mu Li's arm away and walked towards the master bedroom.
Mu Li stood there with his lips tightly pursed, neither stopping her nor chasing after her.
Every step Lin Qing took was extremely heavy. She never thought that one day the relationship between them would become so sensitive and fragile. In the past, no matter what happened, Mu Li would tell her if she asked him, even though her questions were unintentional.
But things are different now.
It was the end of the month in a flash. Lin Qing went home from work that day. When he got off the elevator, he saw a box at the door. On top of the box lay a small white envelope with no signature on it.
She didn't remember receiving such a letter before. After changing her shoes, Lin Qing stood in front of the living room window holding the envelope and looked at it in the sunlight. There was a very small piece of paper inside, and the words on it could not be seen clearly.
Maybe it was sent to Mu Li. No one she knew would play this kind of mysterious game.
Lin Qing did not open the letter, but gently placed it on the coffee table. If Mu Li came back, he would see it at first sight.
Mu Li went out early today and didn't call back all day. Lin Qing looked at the clock on the wall, his eyes darkened and he went upstairs back to his room.
Since he hasn't come back yet, let's cook later.
Lin Qing lay on the bed with her clothes on and squinted her eyes, thinking that she would rest for a while before going downstairs. Unexpectedly, she slept until 8:30 in the evening.
While he was drowsy, his cell phone rang. Lin Qing opened his eyes slightly and looked around for the phone.
"Hello?" Her voice was heavy with sleep.
Mu Li paused for a moment and said in a low voice: "The person who hit Lu Xiao has been found."
"What?" Lin Qing jumped up from the bed, all sleepiness gone. "Where is he? I want to see him!"
Mu Li frowned and interrupted in a cold voice: "No, it's very late now. If you want to come, I will pick you up tomorrow morning."
He glanced at the man who was beaten half to death at his feet, his eyes full of coldness.
Escape? You can't escape from his grasp. Hide? He will dig you out even if he digs three feet deep.
Lin Qing frowned, and said in a thick nasal voice as if she was acting coquettishly: "Then, you won't come back tonight?"
Mu Li's heart softened and his voice became gentle: "I have something to take care of. I won't go back."
Lin Qing pursed her lips and paused for a long time: "Mu Li, actually I want to go over now. I want to know who hit Lu Xiao. I don't want to wait a moment. Where are you? Tell me, okay?"
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Lin Qing held the phone in her hand, not knowing whether she should continue talking. She knew that since the accident, Mu Li had sent people to track down the whereabouts of the perpetrator. Mu Li was not at home these past two days, and she guessed that this incident was probably related to it.
Knowing that he couldn't persuade her, Mu Li thought about it again and again and finally compromised: "Wait at home, I'll pick you up."
Lin Qing nodded lightly. Actually, she wanted to say that she didn’t need to come back in person, but Mu Li would not agree.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Qing bit her nails and stared at the phone for a while. Should I tell Lu Xiao? It was still early, and Lu Xiao should not have rested.
Lin Qing dialed the number, and the call went through but no one answered.
I called again, but still no one answered.
There was no landline where Lu Xiao lived, so Lin Qing could only contact her via mobile phone. A strange feeling of uneasiness suddenly came over her, and Lin Qing bit her lip, wondering whether she should go find Lu Xiao.
She went downstairs and walked to the living room, her eyes fell on the envelope on the coffee table. There was no light in the living room, but she could vaguely see a faint light on the envelope.
It turns out that it was coated with fluorescent powder.
Lin Qing frowned slightly, walked over and looked carefully. It was two words: Mu Li.
This letter is indeed addressed to Mu Li.
But if the messenger was so cautious, why did he leave the envelope at the door? If someone else took it, wouldn't the whole mission be wasted
Fragmented memories flashed through Lin Qing's mind, and when she came back to her senses, she had already picked up the envelope and was ready to open it.
She paused, and after a fierce struggle in her heart, she put the envelope down again.
If it was something given to Mu Li, she would not touch it no matter what it was.
Half an hour later, Mu Li parked the car downstairs, and Lin Qing appeared in his sight wearing a light blue skirt. The moment he saw Lin Qing, the indifference in Mu Li's eyes dissipated a little, and he opened the passenger door.
The silver sports car was speeding along the wide and straight road like a ghost in the dark night. Lin Qing was very energetic after taking a nap. He leaned back in the chair and looked out the window from time to time.
The night is very dark. There is no moonlight tonight, only a few dim stars twinkling occasionally.
When the man was found, he was hiding in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of City A. Mu Li thought to himself that this man was really brave. He sent people everywhere to look for him after such a long time. He thought that the man would flee abroad. Who knew that in the end, he was found in City A.
When he was found, the man was covered in wounds, obviously having been beaten.
The atmosphere in the car was a little dull, so Lin Qing lowered the window a little to let some cool air in. Mu Li frowned, and after a while he closed the window.
Lin Qing curled his lips and carefully probed: "That person... is he really your subordinate?"
"Yeah." Mu Li pursed his thin lips, and the lines of his chin were very tense.
Lin Qing didn't ask any more questions. She knew that this topic was a taboo between them. If she asked, it would seem like she didn't believe him, but if she didn't ask, she would always feel like she had a heavy weight in her heart that she couldn't let go.
In fact, Lin Qing also thought that even his subordinates could be bribed. After all, Mu Li would never hide what he had done. He would be cruel when he hated and obtain love when he loved. There was no need to make it so complicated.
It was already late at night when the car passed through a long road and finally stopped at an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs.
The door of the warehouse was closed tightly, and dazzling light shone through the gap. Lin Qing got out of the car, walked to Mu Li, and gently took his arm.
"Let's go." Mu Li put his hand on her waist. When the subordinates guarding the door saw the two approaching, they opened the door of the warehouse in time.
Lin Qing followed Mu Li in and saw a man tied to a chair in the middle of the warehouse. His hands and feet were tied with very thick ropes, and there were also several circles from his chest to his waist. The perpetrator was covered with scars all over his body. When he heard the footsteps, he slowly raised his head, which had been hanging down all the time. His face was also covered with wounds.
At that moment, Lin Qing was slightly startled. There was no fear in that person's eyes. Instead, he showed a bit of calmness and satisfaction... Was it her illusion
Mu Li narrowed his eyes and turned her face: "What's wrong?"
