Quite awkward

Chapter 156 Qi Yu is jealous?

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the box became tense, silent, and no one spoke.

Mu Yanqing didn't care about that. He tugged at Qi Yu's sleeve and told her to get up. Then he said to the people present, "We're full and have things to do. Please take your time eating."

Mu Chenan didn't want to stay any longer, so he pulled out a chair and chased after him.

The people who stayed in the box looked at each other. Shen Shuang suddenly came to her senses and exchanged a glance with her husband.

Mu Luowen shook his head slightly, his eyes implying that there was no need to worry about the younger generation's marriage anymore, as it would only backfire.

Shen Shuang sighed helplessly, her eyes sweeping over the four members of the Duan family sitting in the box, realizing that she still had to clean up the mess for her two sons.

"Xi Ning, I wanted to bring you two together, but my son didn't buy it. Please don't take it to heart."

Duan Xining lowered her eyes, feeling a little sad, but she kept a dignified smile on her face and replied generously, "Aunt Shen, thank you for your kindness. Perhaps Mr. Mu and I are not destined to be together."

Shen Shuang was particularly moved.

Her two sons have grown up. They are obedient enough in small matters, but they have their own opinions on big matters. Their parents have completely lost control over the brothers' lives.

-

Get out of the box.

Mu Chenan caught up with the two people in front, lowered his eyes and glanced at Qi Yu's fair and transparent face and fluttering eyelashes. He smiled and said to Mu Yanqing, "Brother, thank you for speaking up for me just now. I thought you would kick me when I'm down."

Mu Yanqing's tone was calm, but his words were filled with a deep gloom.

"I disdain to use such means to kick someone when they're down. To retaliate against you, I'll use the most direct method, which is to beat you up."

There was no need for him to play dirty tricks on his brother. If he hadn't been rational that day, Mu Chenan might have been beaten black and blue by him. He knew that he didn't dare to fight back and could only get beaten.

Qi Yu raised his head slightly.

She had a vague feeling that the two brothers were playing a game of charades in front of her.

Mu Chenan's tone was a little nonchalant.

"If I offer to have you beat me up, can you help me fulfill my wish?"

"Don't even think about it!" Seeing that he still didn't give up, Mu Yanqing directly expressed his determination with a cold and ruthless attitude.

Then, he said to Qi Yu in a gentle voice, "Ayu, go upstairs and help me sort out the documents. I'll take you home later."

Qi Yu nodded in agreement and walked away.

Mu Chenan wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by an arm. He frowned in confusion and said, "Is it appropriate for you to ask Qi Yu to go to your room?"

"What's wrong with that? She was helping me in my room until you came back."

Of course Mu Yanqing knew that Mu Chenan was jealous again. He just wanted to tell him that as long as Qi Yu didn't agree to be with him, he would be jealous.

"I just helped you avoid the arranged marriage because I wanted you to focus on your work and not dwell on romance. The group has a heavy workload this year, and we can only rely on you."

Muchenan has been the president of the group for many years and can easily maintain a good balance between work and life. Moreover, he is energetic, so even if he falls in love, it will not affect his job.

He did not force himself to argue with his elder brother at this moment, because the two of them always stood on different sides. Although they appeared to be friendly brothers, they were still competing with each other in secret.

At this time, the housekeeper came to talk to Mu Yanqing.

"Master, the room Miss Qi used to live in in the back building has been vacant for many years. Now that there are a few more permanent servants in the manor, I would like to ask you if that room can be converted into a servant's dormitory?"

Mu Yanqing hadn't set foot there for a long time. He only remembered that after Qi Yu moved out at the age of eighteen, she locked the door and basically left the things she left in the room untouched.

He hesitated for a while and decided to go and see for himself before deciding whether to vacate the room for the servants.

Mu Chenan put one hand in his pocket and watched his elder brother and the housekeeper walk out of the house. He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, then turned around and went upstairs decisively.

After a moment, he stood in front of his eldest brother's door and paused for two seconds, then pushed the door open, walked to the center of the room, and slowly turned to face Qi Yu.

Qi Yu was stunned when she saw him appear here. The chocolate she had just put in her mouth almost fell out of fright. Her eyelids twitched anxiously and her heart became inexplicably nervous.

“You, get out of here!”

Instead of leaving, Mu Chenan walked straight towards the desk.

"Don't be afraid, Big Brother won't be back for a while."

"I'm busy and don't want to bother with you."

Qi Yu had a piece of chocolate in her mouth, which made one of her cheeks look puffy, and because she looked nervous, she looked a little cute.

Mu Chenan stared at her face, which kept arousing his lustful thoughts. After holding on for a while, he couldn't help but lean over, hooked his arms around her neck and kissed her lips lightly, then forced her to look up and kissed her deeply, tasting the chocolate in her mouth as he wished.

It was obviously a little bitter, but he felt it tasted sweet and greasy.

Qi Yu's cheeks were burning hot, her nerves were tense, and she was passive throughout the whole process. She patted his chest with both hands and tried to push him away in panic.

Mu Chenan just satisfied his oral urge and let her go not long after. He wiped the corners of her lips with his slightly cool fingertips to wipe away the traces of chocolate that had spilled out.

Looking down, there was a mist in her eyes. She quickly woke up from her confused consciousness, picked up the ballpoint pen on the table and smashed it at him, cursing angrily.

“Asshole! Hooligan!”

"Didn't we agree at that time that we should do it secretly?"

“I didn’t agree.”

Mu Chenan quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, maybe I'm hard of hearing and didn't hear your rejection."

"Hurry up and go! Go find your fiancée." Qi Yu spoke out of anger and vented his anger on this matter.

Mu Chenan was suddenly stunned by the surprise. He quickly reached out and put his hand on her shoulder and asked, "Didn't you hear that this plan was scrapped? What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

"No."

"You're so stubborn, so why are you angry?"

"I'm angry that you kissed me without my consent."

The laptop screen in front of him dimmed. Qi Yu pressed the space bar again and continued to concentrate on his own work, simply ignoring him.

Mu Chenan leaned against the desk with a casual and unrestrained posture. He picked up a book on the desk and flipped through the pages. It contained content that he could not understand. Then he put it down, supported the edge of the desk with one hand, and spoke in a very solemn tone.

"Qi Yu, I only like you, there will never be anyone else."

Qi Yu looked calm, as if she wasn't listening. She stared at the computer screen and completed the operation with the mouse.

But even she herself didn't notice that her ears hidden in her long hair were quietly turning red.

Mu Chenan reached out and picked up the chocolate wrapper she had placed on the table, putting it in his palm, with a hint of depression in his tone.

"I don't know how you and Big Brother get along privately, but don't let him feed you in the future. There are still some areas where suspicion needs to be avoided."

After a long while, Qi Yu nodded with a hint of obedience in her eyes and said, "I understand."

Looking back, she realized that her behavior was indeed inappropriate, but she was busy talking at the time, and her brother handed the chocolate to her mouth, so she took a bite. It was a completely unconscious instinctive reaction.

Seeing this, Mu Chenan smiled a little happily and couldn't help but become a little more demanding.

"I think you and Big Brother should meet less often. Do you know why?"

Qi Yu shook his head in agreement.

In fact, she was not listening carefully at all, but suddenly found that there seemed to be a problem with the network. She repeatedly clicked the download button but got no response.

"Big Brother is still young, successful in his career, knowledgeable, talented, gentle and considerate. A man like him should be more popular than me in the blind date market. If you keep meeting him, it will affect his chances of finding a second love."

The network recovered after a few seconds. Qi Yu finished fixing the problem and looked up at him with disdain, "You really are being unrewarded for your kindness. You have no right to control what Big Brother wants to do. Get out of here and don't stand here and interfere with my work."

Mu Chenan curled his lips, dissatisfied with her quick change of attitude.

As soon as she heard that her elder brother was looking for a second love, she immediately became angry and might even secretly pray to God and hope that her elder brother would never have any luck in love again.

He pursed his lips and said with deep resentment, "Go back quickly after you're done. What's the point of staying in a man's room for so long?"

Qi Yu was angry and glared at him, but she resisted the urge to retort.

On New Year's Eve, she stayed in his room all night, which was really inappropriate.

The next moment, Mu Chenan turned around and left the room. When he reached the door, he saw a trash can and threw away the chocolate wrapper in his hand.

This woman always likes to make him angry.

But he had no way to deal with her.

She was most obedient last time in his bed.

……

Mu Yanqing stayed in the room where Qi Yu had lived before for more than ten minutes. When he came back, he was holding a children's painting in his hand.

"Ayu, is this the picture of me you drew?"

Qi Yu took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. He opened his mouth, was surprised, and remained silent for a while.

Mu Yanqing casually explained, "The room you lived in before needed to be vacated for the servants. There were no other important items in it except some old furniture. I found this painting in the desk drawer. Judging from the date on it, it seems that you drew it when you were in the third grade of elementary school."

This painting is very simple, depicting a handsome and gentle boy standing on a green lawn, holding a golden retriever in his hand.

This golden retriever is Sunny, who passed away two years ago.

Long-forgotten memories suddenly opened up in front of Qi Yu, and her throat suddenly felt sore and itchy.

"Brother, this was a casual drawing I made at the time. I didn't expect to see it again after so many years. I felt a little emotional. It turns out that sunny days have been away from us for so long.

Mu Yanqing noticed her change in mood. He gently placed the painting on the table and patted her trembling shoulders soothingly, his voice extremely gentle.

"Ayu, do you still want to have a dog?"

A tear fell from the corner of Qi Yu's eye. She sniffed and shook her head slowly.

"I'm usually busy and can't give it the best care, and other puppies are not sunny either, so I don't want it."

Mu Yanqing couldn't bear to see Qi Yu cry, and when he mentioned Qingtian again, he felt guilty.

If he had paid enough attention at the time, he would not have chosen to go abroad to take wedding photos when Qingtian's health condition worsened.

“Perhaps the sunny day has taken on a different form, like this painting, and you miss it today.”

"Yeah." Qi Yu raised her eyelids, looked at him with red eyes, pursed her lips and nodded, feeling sad.

After that, the two spent another half an hour in the room. Qi Yu continued to work. Although her work efficiency was not high, she finally completed the task assigned to her by her elder brother perfectly.

Mu Yanqing praised her as a good helper, which saved him a lot of time.

Qi Yu politely said it was just a piece of cake.

He then offered to take her home.

When the two of them passed by a room on the second floor, one after the other, Qi Yu subconsciously turned her head to look at the open door, only to see Mu Chenan's tall and straight figure standing on the balcony, with a cigarette in his hand, looking noble and unrestrained.

But in this scene, it seemed as if there was a faint sense of loneliness all over him.

At first she walked forward steadily, but for some reason, she became a little distracted after seeing that figure's back.

Qi Yu couldn't define what kind of relationship the two had now, but she was sure that she had no intention of having an ambiguous relationship with him.

But his behavior was bold and flamboyant. He actually kissed her directly in his brother's room just now.

It was not known whether he enjoyed the thrill of this sneaky act or was deliberately provoking her, thinking he could grasp all her fears and weaknesses.

He always takes advantage of her, and then shamelessly plays dumb afterwards.

-

A scene of Tangwan.

Mu Yanqing parked the car in the temporary parking space in the community. Thinking that this might be the last time they met during the Spring Festival holiday, he said a few more words.

"I only signed a one-year contract with the school in Yunnan and Guizhou. I'll be there tomorrow. I still have one semester of teaching to do. In July, I'll move back to Linjiang to live permanently."

Qi Yu nodded seriously, supporting all his decisions.

Mu Yanqing pondered for a moment, then spoke hesitantly, "Ayu, I hope you can devote all your energy to your work this year and film more works. This way, you can go further and more steadily on the road of being an actor."

This sentence has a deliberate emphasis and is somewhat meaningful.

But Qi Yu only understood the surface meaning, thinking that her elder brother supported her to pursue her career, and urged her to make plans in advance and work hard to achieve her goals in the new year.

“Okay, big brother, I’ll do it.”

Qi Yu is confident in herself. She currently has a drama contract and has been doing research for the new role recently. She will join the crew to film soon.

Mu Yanqing raised the corner of his lips and looked at her with relief.

There were some things he couldn't say directly, but judging from the other side, she probably had no intention of falling in love at the moment, and had no intention of getting back together with Muchenan.

She had studied acting for four years and should have been shining in the field she was good at, instead of being fooled by Muchenan and having a fruitless relationship with him.

Fortunately, she maintained basic clarity and rationality and decisively ended an unnecessary relationship. By the time he knew the situation, there was no need for him to intervene.
