The next day.
Lin Qing got up very early, thanks to a good sleep last night. When she got up, she didn't see Mu Li and thought he had gone out again.
But when she reached the door of the room, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a piece of clothing hanging on the hanger. She stopped and looked back carefully. It turned out to be the suit that Mu Li wore before leaving.
Lin Qing's mood fluctuated slightly.
"What are you looking at?" At this time, Mu Li's voice was heard from behind.
He was standing at the door, wearing a light-colored shirt he had just taken out of the closet, with his hands behind his back.
Lin Qing came back to his senses, turned his head and glanced at Mu Li with a faint expression.
There was no trace of joy, anger, sorrow or happiness in her eyes. This expression made Mu Li feel a little uneasy.
"Lin Qing!" When she walked past Mu Li, her wrist was clamped tightly.
Lin Qing just glanced at him indifferently again, broke free from his wrist, and went downstairs alone.
Mu Li didn't expect that from this moment on, Lin Qing stopped talking to him. There was no sign, no reason, this time she completely ignored him.
During the time he was away, Mu Li had been dealing with various important matters in the army, and could not fall asleep until very late every day. In addition, this mission was very urgent, and there was no time to explain in detail. After weighing the pros and cons, Mu Li did not mention it to Lin Qing.
He thought that as long as he appeared in front of Lin Qing after returning from the army, it would be an explanation.
But Lin Qing, what is she thinking about
After get off work, Mu Li parked his car in front of Lin Qing's company.
Right in front of the building, anyone passing by would surely steal a few glances at this handsome yet aloof man.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, Mu Li finally saw the petite figure. She walked slowly from the end of the hall, probably not noticing anything different around her.
Those envious looks reappeared, and everyone stared at Lin Qing.
Lin Qing was completely unaware of this.
It was not until she reached the entrance and walked out of the automatic door that Lin Qing's gaze finally fell on Mu Li, who was standing directly opposite her.
It's him
Lin Qing paused, inadvertently hearing the whispers around him, but ignored them and went straight down the dozen or so stairs.
Mu Li didn't say anything, he was waiting.
However, Lin Qing glanced at him indifferently just like in the morning, opened the car door and got in the car.
Mu Li didn't get angry. He got in the car and took her home.
They were silent all the way, and the silent atmosphere was already solemn.
But no one found it strange and no one spoke.
When they got home, Lin Qing cooked while Mu Li watched TV. The two did not interfere with each other, but they complemented each other and lived in peace.
But beneath the guise of peace, there is a brewing war.
On the verge of happening.
Fortunately, these two people are patient enough.
When the meal was ready, Lin Qing came out of the kitchen and Mu Li went to the dining table. After dinner, Mu Li went upstairs to the study while Lin Qing cleaned up the dishes and sorted out the chores.
If she needed to buy something, Lin Qing would write it on a note and show it to Mu Li. After Mu Li looked at it, he would take her to a nearby supermarket to buy the goods.
When it was time to rest, when Mu Li returned to the room, Lin Qing had already laid down, breathing shallowly, probably because he had just fallen asleep.
So the two of them spent the second and third days without any verbal communication.
On the fourth day, Mother Lin called home.
It was Lin Qing who answered the phone. As soon as she picked up the phone, Mu Li came down from the building. He probably heard the noise and wanted to come down to check.
I don't know what Mrs. Lin said on the other end. Lin Qing just kept saying "hmm" on this end, and there was almost no coherent sentence from beginning to end.
Mu Li leaned against the wall of the living room, looking at Lin Qing meaningfully.
"About dinner... maybe next time." Lin Qing managed to utter a few words at last. She lowered her eyes slightly and said calmly.
Mother Lin mentioned going home for dinner again.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Lin Qing was able to put the microphone back. As soon as she let go, she saw Mu Li appear in her sight. She was startled, but then calmed down again.
Mu Li thought that he hadn't heard Lin Qing speak for a long time.
However, he never thought of asking Lin Qing why he ignored him and why it turned out like this.
Explaining his whereabouts seemed extremely meaningless to Mu Li. What's more, there was no deep relationship between him and Lin Qing, so there was no need for explanation.
That night, Mu Li's friend asked him to go out for a drink. He was always very restrained, so this time he readily agreed.
His friend was also surprised by his reaction, and when they met, he asked him a question without hesitation: "You are acting so strangely today, is it because of that person at home?"
Mu Li was puzzled by Shan Rong's guess: "What are you talking about?"
Shan Rong put one hand on Mu Li's shoulder and stroked his chin with the other hand, thinking, "Usually when I ask you to go out for a drink, I have to ask you three or four times before you agree. But this time, you agreed in one try. Did you have a quarrel with that person at home? What else could it be?"
Shan Rong spoke confidently and stared at Mu Li with a cunning look on his face.
Mu Li pushed him away and opened a bottle of wine and placed it on the table in front of Shan Rong: "This bottle of wine is on me."
Shan Rong did not resist, and drank half the bottle in one breath before speaking again: "Tell me quickly, what kind of person is this sister-in-law?"
The man with peach blossom eyes, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, was Mu Li's rare confidant. He was the only one who dared to ignore Mu Li's title of military commander and spoke incoherently, enjoying himself.
However, Shan Rong is also a person of considerable background - he is the second son of Tianlin Group, who received high-quality education abroad since childhood and only returned to China in recent years.
When he returned to China, he was welcomed by many people.
However, he did not care about the family business at all, and the responsibility of managing the Tianlin Group fell entirely on his brother.
Since returning to China, Shan Rong has been, in his own words, "having fun with taste."
Moreover, he always wanted to find an opportunity to teach Mu Li a lesson and turn him into a master of emotions. But of course, his hopes were always dashed.
Mu Li did not intend to answer Shan Rong's question, but secretly wondered what kind of person Lin Qing was
She is not talkative, her way of thinking is different from that of ordinary people, and sometimes she does things in a confused manner, which always makes Mu Li laugh and cry.
But there was one thing that Mu Li suddenly realized - "Sister-in-law, do you like to laugh?" Seeing that Mu Li didn't like to pay attention to him, Shan Rong didn't complain, but became more interested.
Generally speaking, under such circumstances, Mu Li's psychological activities are very rich and colorful.
Yes. She doesn't like to smile.
Although she was slow, shy, coquettish and looked innocent, she never smiled.
Something sank in Mu Li's heart.
The pressure made his breathing much heavier.
Shan Rong, who had taken another sip of wine, patted Mu Li on the shoulder and said, "Brother, this woman needs to be coaxed. If you make her happy, she will laugh naturally."
Comfort him
Mu Li felt that Shan Rong’s words were totally unacceptable.
"How about this, you bring your sister-in-law out tomorrow night and we'll have dinner together, okay?" While Shan Rong was speaking, the wine in the bottle had been finished.
He was not drunk at all, but looked at Mu Li seriously.
Mu Li naturally knew that Shan Rong could drink a lot.
He thought for a moment and agreed.
The next morning, Lin Qing was getting ready to go out as usual, while Mu Li was sitting on the sofa not far away, watching TV.
"Now playing the next news--" The host on TV had a clear voice and a calm tone as he broadcast the important news of City A.
"Wait a moment." Mu Li said softly when Lin Qing was about to step out of the door.
Not too fast or too slow, not too light or too heavy, which made Lin Qing confused about what he was thinking.
Lin Qing turned around and looked at the sofa. Seeing that Mu Li had stood up and was walking towards him, he slightly widened his eyes, as if asking - "What's the matter?"
Mu Li understood and said calmly, "I have a dinner party tonight, come back early."
Lin Qing nodded, pushed the door and left.
Mu Li watched her back disappear at the door, and somehow, he felt a trace of inadvertent melancholy in his heart.
At 5:15 in the afternoon, Lin Qing returned as scheduled.
She went back to her room, changed her clothes, and walked into the living room to wait for Mu Li, who had not yet appeared.
Remember Mu Li said that he was always punctual and hoped to be punctual. So Lin Qing calculated the time and left the company before get off work ended.
But Mu Li...if it were him, could he do it
Lin Qing was stunned.
After a minute or two, Mu Li came down from upstairs.
He was handling some official business in the study just now and heard Lin Qing coming home early, but he deliberately delayed for a while before showing up.
He was wearing a suit that perfectly showed off his straight figure. Such a Mu Li must have charmed many women.
However, Lin Qing was still in a daze.
"Lin Qing?" Mu Li called her, and she slowly came back to her senses. She was stunned when she saw Mu Li in front of her, and then walked towards the door.
Mu Li didn't say anything else.
The agreed hotel was just a fifteen-minute drive from the city center, and they arrived there soon.
After parking the car, Lin Qing got out and followed Mu Li as before.
"Go to the hotel lobby first, we'll be there soon." Mu Li instructed Lin Qing as they reached the hotel entrance.
So Lin Qing went in alone first.
This place is very similar to the place they went last time, but also a little different. She walked slowly along the most inconspicuous edge, trying to wait for Mu Li by slowing down.
At this moment, a voice that couldn't be more familiar came into my ears.
"Lin Qing?"
Lin Qing looked back in surprise.
The person walking towards her turned out to be the senior schoolmate she once had a crush on, Chen Qudong.
He was also dressed formally today. Lin Qing vaguely remembered that he always looked so good in a white shirt.
faint
Lin Qing suddenly realized that her memory of her senior seemed to be gradually fading.
"Senior..." Lin Qing blurted out, and then paused, "Hello, senior."
When the senior was called out the second time, his tone was obviously more distant and polite.
This tone made Chen Qudong unhappy.
"Why are you here alone?" He glanced behind Lin Qing but didn't see Mu Li.
"I..." Lin Qing paused, "I came here to meet a friend."
Presumably, that friend must be either rich or noble, otherwise he would not have made an appointment to meet Lin Qing here.
Chen Qudong looked at Lin Qing carefully with a concerned expression on his face: "Lin Qing, how have you been recently?"
Lin Qing was a little surprised and nodded when he heard it.
"Then, is Mu Li good to you?" Chen Qudong asked again with a slightly different tone.
Lin Qing paused and nodded.
Chen Qudong laughed.
