Quite awkward

Chapter 150 "Because you like me."

If someone asked her, Qi Yu could easily explain that she just accidentally got lost, but the sudden sense of guilt made her look confused, panicked and at a loss.

She left herself almost no room to think. She flashed and hid behind the fake curtains that served as decoration. Her body was tense and she didn't dare to move at all.

Mu Chenan tilted his head, his eyes seemed to want to penetrate the curtains and peek into her nervous and frightened expression, and he took pleasure in it.

He smiled, snorted, and put away the lighter.

Seeing that the door was half open, Shen Shuang knocked symbolically, then walked directly to the center of the room and said to Mu Chenan, "Nianhan's father has suddenly fallen ill. Your eldest brother has gone to the hospital and it's unknown when he will be back. Remember to get up early tomorrow and go to the ancestral hall to burn incense and pay New Year's greetings to the ancestors."

“Okay, Mom, I got it.”

While answering, Mu Chenan glanced in a certain direction inadvertently.

The curtains over there didn't seem to be moving at all, but when I looked down, I saw a pair of small feet pressed tightly together, not daring to move.

"By the way, Qi Yu is staying at home tonight. Your eldest brother arranged it randomly. She's staying in the guest room on the second floor, so it won't affect you. You can just ignore it. She's only staying for one night anyway."

Ever since Mu Yanqing had a younger sister outside, he completely ignored the fact that he had a younger brother at home who needed his brother's care. Therefore, Shen Shuang could understand Mu Chenan's aversion to Qi Yu very well.

She just thought of this matter suddenly and told him by the way so that he wouldn't feel strange and surprised to see Qi Yu suddenly appear at home.

Mu Chen pretended to be indifferent and asked calmly, "Oh, is there anything else?"

"Your father and I have been abroad for so many years that we don't really care about those complicated New Year's customs. We just want to be together as a family and have a simple New Year's celebration. There's nothing else to do. You should go to bed early."

Shen Shuang left the room and closed the door for him.

The room returned to silence. The person hiding behind the curtains still didn't dare to make any sound. She seemed to have turned into a motionless sculpture.

Mu Chenan strode forward and pulled aside the curtains, only to see a timid woman hiding inside as he had hoped. He then naturally put on a coat of indifference and stared at her expressionlessly.

Qi Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly and his whole body remained stiff.

I don’t know if it was because I was too nervous just now, or because of the staring gaze of the man in front of me.

"My mother has left, you can go back to your room." Mu Chenan started to drive people away in a cold and hard tone.

Qi Yu exhaled twice and asked softly, "I can't find that guest room. Second brother, can you help me find the way?"

"cannot."

Muchenan was still angry and jealous.

The kind that can't be coaxed.

Her eldest brother asked her to stay at the Mu family for one night, and she agreed without saying a word. She was really well-behaved and obedient.

But no matter what he said before, she had to contradict him, which made him unhappy.

Qi Yu lowered his head, moved his feet, and prepared to look for the location of the guest room again.

Maybe it wasn't as hard to find as she imagined, maybe she just didn't look carefully just now.

She walked slowly to the door of the room and placed her right hand on the door handle. Before she could press it down, she heard a kind reminder from the man behind her, but it sounded more like he was up to something malicious.

"But be careful, my mom might still be on the phone in the hallway."

Qi Yu suddenly withdrew her hand and turned to look at him.

Her expression showed both nervousness, fear of being caught by Shen Shuang, and displeasure and anger that Mu Chenan might be deliberately teasing her.

Although Shen Shuang's attitude towards her has been relatively calm tonight, she didn't dare to gamble on that possibility.

She knew very well that as a young woman, Shen Shuang would have bad thoughts about her if she appeared in Mu Chenan's room.

She must have thought Qi Yu was seducing her son.

It was New Year's Day, and Qi Yu didn't want to cause trouble or create any trouble, so he simply sat on the ground by the door.

She planned to wait until after midnight before leaving. At least by then Mu Luowen and Shen Shuang would have returned to their room to rest, and she could take the opportunity to find the specific location of the split-level guest room.

If she still can't find it, she can also call her eldest brother for help.

Seeing her actions, Mu Chenan's previous depression disappeared in an instant. He walked towards her and unbuttoned two buttons on his collar. He squatted in front of her and asked softly, "Are you not going to leave?"

"Second brother, please take me in for a while." Qi Yu knew how to please him at the right time and not to go against him so that he could have room to survive.

"Then please give me a reason to take you in."

"Um...well...because you like me, you have to take me in."

After hesitating for half a minute, she gave an extremely shameless reason and chose a risky path.

Hearing her say this, Mu Chenan was stunned for a moment. She had actually grasped his mind perfectly without him realizing it. However, he was unwilling to be outdone and continued to say leisurely, "It's not impossible for me to take you in, but you have to give me something in return."

Qi Yu curled her lips. Could she just make a promise?

"Well, how about I let you try the dumplings I made myself some other day?" She raised her chin after asking, thinking that this was a good idea.

Mu Chenan pursed his lips and shook his head, sneering mercilessly: "There are so many dumpling shops out there, why should I insist on eating the dumplings you make? Are they delicious? What's so attractive about them to me?"

Qi Yu pulled the corners of his lips stiffly and was suddenly speechless.

Obviously, she was too self-indulgent and thought that Mu Chenan would be happy to eat the dumplings she made herself.

In fact, he didn't like such superficial happiness.

“I want the rewards now.”

Qi Yu quickly guessed what evil plan he was up to, and deliberately turned her head away to avoid his gaze and ignored him.

The lines of her neck are elongated, showing a charming and graceful curve.
