Long-term love becomes sick, ex-husband is too involved in the drama

Chapter 23 Mo Shihuan is not qualified to compete with you

The night was getting darker and colder.

The Nanshan Villa, which was shrouded in silence, quickly fell into darkness, while the Beiqing Villa, far away on the other side of the city, was brightly lit at the moment.

Mu Sinian, who came back from a business trip for a few days, just arrived at the entrance, and saw Mu Nuan sitting on the sofa, holding a book in his hand, as if he was reading it, but his eyes seemed empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Haven't slept so late?" After changing his shoes, he approached directly.

Hearing the sound suddenly, Mu Nuan, whose thoughts drifted to nowhere, was jolted and awake.

"Brother," she put down the book, looked up, and got straight to the point, "I'm waiting for you."

The servant heard the sound and brought a cup of tea.

Mousse took over.

"what's up?"

"Mu Shihuan is back."

There was a pause when bringing it to his mouth, and Mu Sinian raised his eyes.

Four eyes facing each other.

Mu Nuan stared at him for a moment.

Mu Sinian didn't realize it.

He took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner, and after a long while, he chuckled nonchalantly: "It seems that she is not dead."

"elder brother……"

"What do you want to ask?"

Mu Nuan suddenly fell silent.

Frowning unconsciously, it took several seconds for her to ask the question that had been stuck in her chest all night under his casual eyes: "Back then... Mu Shihuan suddenly disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown, bro... Did you do it?" ?”

After the voice fell, the huge living room suddenly became extraordinarily quiet.

Mu Sinian glanced at her, his expression remained unchanged, and there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Where did you hear that?"

A wave of impatience suddenly rushed straight up, and Mu Nuan stood up abruptly.

"elder brother!"

One stop and one sit.

Mu Sinian always looks relaxed.

Seeing this, Mu Nuan became even more anxious.

"Brother, you..." A little sourness suddenly welled up in her eyes, she turned her face away, and squeezed out a name, "Qi Shen."

Until now, she still can't forget the look in Qi Shen's eyes.

She thought that hearing what he said while hooking up with He Er in Hua Zui had made her feel extremely bad, but she didn't expect that when she and Qiao Shuang met Qi Shen again, and heard his unceremonious contempt, When she even teased that Mu Shihuan's disappearance was related to her and her brother, her mood was only worse than worst.

She once felt that Qi Shen was talking nonsense, Qi Shen had always looked down on her, and she knew it by ridiculing her.

Can……

"elder brother……"

"Nuannuan," Mu Sinian interrupted her, "It's just that Mu Shihuan came back. She didn't do anything yet, and just made you feel like an enemy, messing around and thinking wildly? Where's your confidence?"

"I……"

"What are you worried about? Are you afraid that Mu Shihuan will snatch Li Jingyan away? Or are you afraid that Li Jingyan will empathize with you?"

"I didn't!" Mu Nuan retorted without thinking.

Mu Sinian unceremoniously exposed her: "You have."

"I..." The words stuck in her throat, but Mu Nuan didn't have the courage to say it.

She didn't want to admit it, but she didn't want to admit it. She was indeed influenced by Mu Shihuan. First, Tiantai Li Jingyan ignored the danger that day, and then he forced Mu Shihuan to leave tonight.

she……

"What happened?" Mu Sinian asked.

Mu Nuan bit her lip, her pride and long-standing self-confidence prevented her from opening her mouth.

only……

"I have always known that I like Li Jingyan and care about him far more than he likes me, but no matter how much I like it, I also know that I must not let go of my self-esteem because of this, and rush to the dust. Yes, I am worried, but... ..." After a while, she finally spit out the rest of the words, "I can't ask, I'm afraid he won't know how to advance or retreat, I..."

"So you'd rather be alone here looking for trouble?"

Mu Nuan's eyes darkened.

"He didn't take the initiative to contact you?" Mu Sinian asked again.

She hit the nail on the head and reminded Mu Nuan of what she cared about the most in the past few days rather cruelly. Her breathing was stagnant, and her fingers unconsciously clenched.

Although she still didn't make it clear what went wrong with Li Jingyan, Mu Sinian somehow guessed it.

With his legs crossed, he smiled: "Instead of worrying about gains and losses and speculating wildly, it is better to ask clearly. I know your concerns, but Nuan Nuan, don't forget, a man like Li Jingyan whose ambition always comes before feelings cannot Use the same way you deal with ordinary men to figure it out, and don't expect him to take the initiative, understand?"

"As for Mu Shihuan," he touched a cigarette and lit it, the smile on the corners of his eyes and brows remained undiminished, "There is nothing to worry about, Li Jingyan will divorce her sooner or later, she can't make any trouble."

After a pause, his eyes flashed sharply: "People always have to pay for what they do, Mu Shihuan...she has no right to fight with you."

After the words fell, he stood up.

"Also, you have to be clear, for a man like Li Jingyan, most of the time women stick to him and play tricks, isn't Mu Shihuan just like that?" Habitually patted Mu Nuan on the head, he loosened his tie and walked away , "It's getting late, go to bed early if you think clearly."

Mu Nuan didn't move until Mu Sinian stepped up the first flight of stairs, when she regained consciousness.

"elder brother!"

"Ok?"

Mu Nuan wanted to say something, but she still didn't make a sound.

Her mind is a little messed up.

She intuitively felt that what Mu Sinian said was reasonable, but in fact, she couldn't let go of her pride and didn't want to be too proactive.

Mu Sinian did not look back.

"Go to bed early."

"……Um."

Not long after, Mu Sinian's back disappeared from sight.

Mu Nuan thought back to what he said, but she was still struggling. It took a long time before she realized that he didn't answer her question directly at the beginning.

That night, Mu Nuan couldn't sleep.

What she didn't know was that Mu Sinian also stayed up all night.

In the study room, Mu Sinian sat casually at the desk and smoked cigarettes one by one. His left finger kept sliding on the screen of the phone carelessly, but he never unlocked it.

It wasn't until the last cigarette burned to the end that his sliding movement paused, and finally, he unlocked it.

The screen lights up, and the only photo in the secret album comes into view.

The person in the photo is smiling brightly, even if it's just a side view, even if it's still across the screen, it's enough to make people throb.

Mu Sinian stared at it for a few seconds.

With a "snap", the phone screen was flipped upside down on the table.

After pressing out the cigarette butt, Mu Sinian sneered silently.

……

The next day.

Li Group.

After a domineering meeting ended, Li Jingyan returned to the office expressionlessly.

"President Li," the secretary stood up at the right time and said, "Miss Mu is here and is resting in your office."

Li Jingyan frowned, and his Adam's apple moved slightly, but he only hummed lightly after thinking of something.

Mo Yuan, who was following behind, was very perceptive and didn't follow up.

When the door was closed, a young secretary sighed with envy, "Miss Mu is very temperamental, and she is a natural match with Mr. Li."

Someone's eyes lit up, and they gossiped to Mo Yuan curiously: "Mo Te help, Mo Te help! Miss Mu and President Li..."

Mo Yuan glanced over and warned with a smile: "Very busy?"

Secretaries: "..."

No one dared to ask any more, and hurriedly lowered their heads and went about their own business.

office.

Mu Nuan half-heartedly flipped through financial magazines, and when she heard footsteps, her body froze nervously for no reason, almost at the same time, two emotions of joy and grievance came out at the same time.

Reserved, she didn't make a sound or look up.

It's just that when the footsteps were getting closer, she still couldn't resist the nostalgia deep in her heart. She smiled and looked up at him: "Are you done?"

I don't want the man to look at her until he sits at the executive desk.

"Why are you here?" Li Jingyan nodded, loosened his tie, and asked.

We've been together for so long, even though I knew this man had always been like this, maybe it's because Mu Shihuan is back now, or maybe it's because of what she saw that made her unable to let go, for his indifference, the smile on the corner of Mu Nuan's mouth could hardly be maintained .

Taking a deep breath secretly, she put on a business-like attitude first: "I will be in charge of connecting with Mrs. Li after the resort project. Some details need to be communicated, so I came here."

After a pause, she looked at him with a rare tone of grievance and complaint: "I haven't seen you for a few days...you don't want to see me?"

Four eyes facing each other.

Li Jingyan's eyes dimmed.

"No," the corners of his eyes and brows softened slightly, and when he spoke again, his voice was no longer so cold, "Don't think about it."

It's just that he doesn't know that Mu Nuan can't hear these four words now.

Today, she took the initiative to come to him and it was a compromise after struggling all night, but even if she compromises, now she can't ask where you took Mu Shihuan to last night.

She thought he would take the initiative to explain.

"What's wrong?" Li Jingyan asked after seeing her absent-mindedness.

Feeling sour for a few seconds, Mu Nuan shook her head, then raised the corners of her lips and changed the subject: "You haven't forgotten the reception tonight, have you?" After a pause, before he could answer, she said, "My brother is back. I don't want to go to the company if I want to have a good rest, at night..."

"I'll pick you up, together."

The man's words are one step ahead of her.

In an instant, Mu Nuan felt that the sourness that had tortured him all night disappeared.

Her eyes meet his in the air.

"Okay..." The corners of her lips couldn't help but twitched, and the sweetness overflowed quietly. She was full of joy, "Then..."

Before the words finished, Li Jingyan's cell phone vibrated.

Li Jingyan glanced at the phone.

"Then get busy first, I will help Mote to hand over the project." Mu Nuan stood up in time, and although she really wanted to stay and be alone with him, she rationally told her not to worry about this moment, "Then... I Wait for you."

Li Jingyan hummed, glanced at her, and then picked up the phone to answer the call.

Mu Nuan couldn't stop the smile in his eyes.

Half an hour later, Mo Yuan sent Mu Nuan in to report on his work, and waited for him to sign the documents. As usual, he was ready to go out after finishing.

"Assistant Mo Te." Li Jingyan called out to him.

"Mr. Li?"

Li Jingyan casually threw the pen in his hand on the table: "Want to take a vacation recently?"

Mo Yuan made a sound, subconsciously wanted to shake his head, and suddenly understood!

Where is this caring about employees?
Clearly... it was a warning to him for talking too much to Mu Shihuan last night!Next time, he can really take a good "vacation".

The boss's personal affairs... can't be managed!

"Boss Li, work is my girlfriend, and I don't want to abandon her." He immediately stood up straight and smiled.

With a soft snort, Li Jingyan raised her eyes to look at him.

"Mr. Li?"

"Okay, you can go out."

Mo Yuan turned around and left as if he had received an amnesty.

After the door closed, Li Jingyan took out a cigarette and wanted to light it, but he thought of something and finally gave up.

Silently sneered, he threw the lighter on the table.

……

evening.

Mu Nuan is doing styling in a private styling room she knows well.

Putting on the white one-shoulder dress sent by Li Jingyan, she looked at herself in the mirror, thinking that he would arrive in 10 minutes, the corners of her lips raised involuntarily, and her chest was gradually filled with anticipation and joy .

The smile deepened, and she happily sat on the sofa and waited patiently.

10 minutes later, the phone rang.

Looking at the familiar name on the screen, Mu Nuan's heart suddenly jumped.

She connected, breathing slightly short of breath.

"Hey you……"

Before he could speak, his smile froze.
