brand on heart

The next day, Shi Yan still couldn't get up on time to make breakfast due to the recent accumulation of fatigue, and it was still Mu Qing who made it.

The next two days of this week were spent peacefully, and the part-time job in the bar was gradually started, except that Jason kept an eye on him and always suspected that Shiyan had hidden tips.

There has been no news from Lu Jingyang. Lu Wanyu told Shi Yan on WeChat that the lawyer and the court had intervened in the mediation. Now the two sides are at loggerheads over custody rights. However, Lu Wanyu is 16 years old, and it mainly depends on his own wishes.

On Saturday, I asked Mu Qing for leave in advance, and went to the nursing home on the island to accompany grandma.

I talk on the phone every day, and I can hear that grandma's spirit is much better than before, and Mu Qing said that the government will prioritize the matching, and it probably won't be long.

Mu Qing originally planned to go together, but was entangled in company affairs and couldn't leave, so he had to ask the bodyguard and driver to send Shi Yan there.

Shi Yan felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill, he was just a canary in foster care, would anyone still think of him?

Mu Qing didn't explain to him, nor did he let go.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in!"

Mu Qing pushed open the door of the chairman's office, walked in with the documents, "Dad, are you looking for me?"

Mu Hanshan was looking at the documents, glanced at him, pointed to the chair in front of the desk, and said, "Sit."

"No, there's a meeting coming up soon. What do you want from me?"

Mu Hanshan put down the pen in his hand, pushed the document to the center of the table, tapped the table twice and said, "Two days ago, Yumin told me that you brought a child to his place for dinner?"

When I met Shen Yumin that day, Mu Qing knew that I couldn't hide the matter, but she didn't think about hiding it at first, so she replied coldly, "Well, we just lived together recently."

"The house that you put so much effort into building some time ago is also for him?"

"En." Mu Qing responded casually.

Mu Hanshan didn't take it seriously, tapped the table twice more and said, "You are only 24 years old. I don't care if you want to support others. It's not like our family can't afford to support a few people. But you have to know how to measure. That house is owed to Liang Chuan." For favors, you should find a way to repay them yourself, our family doesn't have much contact with them, but don't provoke them easily."

"Hmm." Still perfunctory, "Is there anything else?"

"Two days ago, I heard that you dismissed Chun Hao's case. What was the reason?" Mu Hanshan opened the drawer of his desk, pulled out a cigar, snipped it and lit it.

Mu Qing said blankly, "Plagiarism."

"Chun Hao told me that it was indeed designed by himself, but it happened to coincide with that person's thinking."

"Do you want to use it? There is an 80.00% risk of getting into a lawsuit." Mu Qing asked without emotion.

For a company like theirs, once plagiarism is involved, the other party will definitely hold on to it, and will never give up until the skin is peeled off.

Mu Hanshan thought for a while and said, "Send me the blueprint, and I'll make a decision after reading it."

Mu Qing sneered, "Whatever." After saying hello, he turned around and left.

"Stop!" Mu Hanshan called to Mu Qing a little angrily, and said, "He is your brother after all, so be more tolerant sometimes—"

"My brother is in the grave, and his bones have turned to ashes right now." Mu Qing interrupted Mu Hanshan in disgust, "It's not like any cat or dog can be my family, Dad!"

Her mother, Xin Qing, was pregnant with another child before Mu Qing. When she was seven months old, she was plotted against by Mu Hanshan's mistress, and the fetus was aborted. She almost lost her life. Later, she forced her to give birth to Mu Qing and her body never recovered.

The office door was slammed shut, leaving Mu Hanshan sitting behind the desk, his face turning red and turning pale.

The last time I came here, I was always worried that Mu Qing would suddenly attack and be exposed by his grandma. Shi Yan was not in the mood to appreciate the surrounding scenery at that time.

It is a small island not far from the coastline, surrounded by seagulls and seabirds, and the environment is very good.

Grandma is in better spirits than she was on the phone. She has gained weight and made friends. When the doctor comforted her, don’t worry about it. Even if there is a relationship, it will take a year at the fastest. Now the conditions on the island are poor Very good, as long as the old man's body does not appear too abnormal, he can take care of him slowly.

I stayed with my grandma on the island for a day, took a walk with them on the beach, made dumplings together, and watched them exercise.

When leaving, grandma repeatedly told him to pay attention to his health and not to work too hard.

Shi Yan agreed one by one.

Mu Qing really put his heart into it, the environment and medical conditions here are first-class.

After returning to Binhai in the afternoon, I went directly to the bar to work. When I reported to Mu Qing, I heard him say that he was also working overtime, and there was a project to be rushed.

Still didn't receive a call from Lu Jingyang on Sunday, so Shi Yan called to ask, Lu Jingyang was also the first and the second eldest, and he hadn't seen him for more than ten years. Invite all the relatives in the family over to discuss.

Shi Yan didn't know what to say, so she just said to call him when he was done, and he could go to class anytime.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Yan began to consider another part-time job. She had already resigned from the milk tea shop because she found a job in a bar.

It's not that he doesn't believe that Lu Jingyang can't handle this well, but that he really can't afford to wait.

Mu Qing also rests on weekends, but still works on the balcony with his computer in his arms.

Shi Yan cut a plate of fruit and took it out for him.

Mu Qing stopped wearily, frowned and said, "Shi Yan, can you make me a cup of coffee?"

Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, he had never used a coffee grinder before, so he wasn't sure if he could do it well, but seeing that Mu Qing was so busy, he agreed, "Okay."

Back in the house, I quickly took out my mobile phone and checked Baidu.

However, Mu Qing’s coffee machine was imported from abroad. Shiyan entered the brand name and it showed that it was a German brand, and the instructions for use were also in German. I couldn’t understand it at all. I had to search for a reliable video on the Internet and follow along.

The coffee beans are roasted, then machine-ground, filtered, and filtered several times.

Mu Qing worked on the balcony outside for a long time and didn't see a cup of hot coffee delivered, so he put down his computer and walked into the tea room, and saw that Shi Yan was clumsily filtering the coffee through a filter.

Walking over, reaching out his hand from his armpit to take it, "I'll do it."

Shi Yan turned to look at him in a panic, blushing, "Hold, I'm sorry, I haven't made coffee before."

Mu Qing smiled and lowered his head and took a sip of his lips, "It's okay, I'll teach you." After staying here for too long, his body was stained with the aroma of coffee.

He was surrounded like that, and was taught by Mu Qing to go through the process again.

When he finally poured the coffee into the coffee cup, Shi Yan felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Mu Qing added two cubes of sugar for him, stirred it and handed it to him, "Taste, this is the first coffee I made myself."

It's a bit hot, and Shiyan took two sips before drinking it. It has a strong astringent taste, but there is a strange fragrance in the mouth.

Frowning and putting down the coffee cup, Shi Yan said, "I prefer the taste of tea."

Mu Qing smiled, raised his hand to rub his earlobe, "It's getting dark, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"Let me do it, you keep busy."

I worked until two o'clock last night and got home at three o'clock in the middle of the night. I didn't know how I got into bed.

He slept until twelve o'clock in the morning and woke up, so he missed lunch. Fortunately, Mu Qing left a meal for him.

"Okay, then I'll look forward to the first dinner you cook for me." Mu Qing stepped forward and trapped Shiyan on the glass cabinet behind, which was full of various rare teas and coffee beans from different origins .

Shi Yan was embraced by Mu Qing as if he was cheating, with his chin resting on his shoulders, he raised his hand uncomfortably to pull the clothes on La Muqing's waist, "Master Mu, you should go to work."

Outside the window, the blood-red sunset shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, coating all the furniture in the room with a layer of gold.

"Hmm - I'm tired and have no energy. Let me charge it for a while." Mu Qing hugged his waist, lowered his head and rubbed his ears, "Shi Yan, I want to charge it."

The sexy and magnetic voice made Yan's heart tingle when he heard it, bit his lip, and protested softly, "I'm not a power bank."

"Hehe." Mu Qing tilted his head to look at him, his deep eyes looked into Shi Yan's eyes, seeing him had nothing to hide, he could only consciously lean over to offer his lips, and muttered: "I have kissed a lot recently. "

The two fell in love with the feeling of exchanging breaths as if they were suffering from kissing syndrome.

After the end, Mu Qing let go of Shi Yan, held his face, looked at his soft and bright red lips, and asked, "Will you fall in love with me sooner if you kiss me a few more times?"

Shi Yan was startled, and when he came back to his senses, Mu Qing had already let go of him, picked up the coffee pot and left.

In the evening, Shiyan cooked a few home-cooked dishes, including mushrooms and vegetables, garlic shrimp, scallop soup, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and fried pork with green peppers.

Both light and heavy.

Mu Qing was very satisfied with the meal, and even said proudly: "In the future, our family will have a chef."

Shi Yan didn't answer, took away the bowl in front of him, was grabbed by the wrist, froze for a moment, and looked up at him.

Mu Qing took the bowl away with a smile, stood up and said, "You cook, I wash the dishes, we work together."

"But, you cooked breakfast a few days ago, and today I—" Shi Yan wanted to snatch it away, but Mu Qing turned around and kissed her: "Start from today."

"Okay." Shi Yan nodded, but still helped him put the tableware into the kitchen, then cleaned up the dining table and went to the kitchen to help.

Mu Qing gave him a dry towel, "Wipe off the water and put it in the disinfection cabinet."

"Ah."

So two people, one washes the dishes and dishes, and the other is responsible for drying the water and putting it into the disinfection cabinet.

After eating, washing the dishes, and Mu Qing's work, the night scene outside is bustling. Mu Qing turned around and asked, "Shall we go downstairs for a walk?"

Shi Yan was about to turn on the tablet to learn about bartending, and said casually, "Go down, I want to watch something."

Mu Qing took the things in his hand and squatted down, "It's still early, let's go for a walk first, and I'll teach you when I come back."

Shi Yan looked at him dissatisfied, but she knew that there was indeed something in his stomach, so she nodded reluctantly.

Mu Qing pinched his ears, "The combination of work and rest is efficient. If you just memorize it by rote, it won't be effective."

Of course Shi Yan knew that he just wanted to be independent earlier, and he would no longer be dismissed by Jason with various excuses and unable to serve customers.

After cleaning up his body at night, Mu Qing held Shi Yan in his arms, listened to him recite the wine list item by item, and helped him correct the recipe and dosage.

Skin to skin, the thick and deep male voice surrounded him, making him drowsy.

Before falling asleep, he suddenly thought, First Young Master Mu is really clingy.

However, don't hate it.

It was half a month before Lu Jingyang contacted Shi Yan, saying that he would be invited to attend classes at the new address in the evening, about 10 minutes away from the original place.

In the commercial center of Binhai South District, next to the Changhe Group Headquarters Building.

It is a high-rise apartment with five bedrooms and two living rooms, which is not comparable to the small villas before.

Seeing Lu Wanyu, the child became haggard a lot, and a new scar appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Shi Yan knew that Zhang Qiao had hit him again.

Before leaving, Zhang Qiao chased and beat their father and son almost madly. Later, Lu Jingyang called the police and put him in the detention center before he was able to escape.

"elder brother--"

As soon as he changed his shoes and entered the room, Lu Wanyu hugged her, buried her head in his neck and wept.

Standing behind the two of them, Lu Jingyang also looked exhausted.

"Okay, it's okay." Shi Yan smiled sadly and rubbed the boy's hair in her arms.

Lu Jingyang looked at it for a while, feeling a little apprehensive, and said out loud, "Okay, Wan Yu, you're a boy, stop acting like a baby with Shi Yan."

Lu Wanyu raised her head, embarrassed to wipe away her tears, "Brother, I'm sorry I got your clothes wet."

Shi Yan shook her head, then turned around and asked, "Mr. Lu, have you guys had dinner yet?"

They were picked up by Lu Jingyang right after school. I don't know if they had dinner.

Lu Jingyang shook his head, glanced at Lu Wanyu, and said, "Why don't we go out to eat, just to celebrate the housewarming."

Whether this happiness is real or fake, only Lu Jingyang knows.

Lu Wanyu shook her head listlessly, "I'm not going, I don't have an appetite, Dad, you and brother go eat together."

Lu Jingyang pretended to talk about him, but was stopped by Shi Yan, "Mr. Lu, why don't you just eat at home, because going out at this time is easy to get stuck in traffic."

"Then I'll call Auntie Fan over here." Taking out his phone, Lu Jingyang said, but after thinking about it again, "It's a bit late now, and it might be inconvenient for Auntie, so let's order takeaway."

Although he has lived alone for more than ten years, he is not very good at cooking. When he was young, he was busy running around to start a business. Later, when he became rich, this lover and that lover's family lived from one family to another, or he just hired someone casually. A nanny takes care of three meals a day.

When he was able to sit down and have dinner with his family in peace of mind, the third child he raised appeared again and turned the house upside down.

Shi Yan saw that Lu Wanyu was in a trance, and Lu Jingyang himself was in a bad mood because he couldn't eat or sleep well during this time, so he rolled up his sleeves, "Is there any food in the refrigerator? Make a few simple dishes, don't order takeaway, Mr. Lu."

Lu Jingyang and Lu Wanyu looked at each other in surprise, and then they both said at the same time, "Okay."

Sure enough, they are father and son.

Shi Yan shook her head with a smile, "Then you guys go to rest, and I'll cook."

Taking care of his business for more than half a year, Lu Jingyang's salary has always been very generous, and Lu Wanyu treats him as an older brother, Shi Yan doesn't think there is anything wrong with doing so.

"Wan Yu, you go to study, I will help Shi Yan in the kitchen."

Lu Jingyang directed his son back to the room, and followed Shi Yan into the kitchen.

It has been two or three days since they moved in, and the nanny has bought fresh vegetables and stocked them in the refrigerator.

Lu Jingyang followed behind Shi Yan with tender eyes, directing him to do whatever he did, as if he still enjoyed it.

For dinner, stir-fried lotus root, fish ball tofu soup, stir-fried beef, tomato egg, steamed pork ribs, and wolfberry yam puree.

The father and son Lu Jingyang and Lu Wanyu cleaned up all the dishes, and then Lu Jingyang volunteered to clean up the dining table and dishes, and Shi Yan went to the study to help Lu Wanyu with homework.

Just finished eating, Shi Yan was not in a hurry to start class, watching Lu Wanyu playing with his figurines, just moved here, there are still many left in the box.

"Brother, the last movie ticket has expired." Standing in front of the counter, Lu Wanyu said unhappily, rubbing Iron Man in his hand.

"There is still a chance." Shi Yan said indifferently, "You guys are about to take the mid-term exam, don't let your studies affect your studies. If you have anything to say, you can talk to your father, or you can come to me."

"Hmm." Lu Wanyu picked up Captain America and fiddled with the shield in his hand, "Brother, do you have a high S score? I want to get into your university."

Shi Yanxiao, "Work hard with your current achievements, there is great hope. But in the future, you should watch less cartoons and play with figures less."

"Really?" Lu Wanyu looked up at him with watery eyes, Shi Yan nodded encouragingly, "Brother won't lie to you."

It was a bit late for class today, Lu Wanyu delayed the class for more than a week, he had to speed up the progress, otherwise it would be more and more difficult to make up later.

When leaving, Lu Wanyu pulled Shi Yan's sleeve and refused to let go, "Why don't you stay at our house today, it's so late, there is no car."

Shi Yan shook her head, "It's okay, there's still the subway."

Later, after a few words of persuasion from Lu Jingyang, Lu Wanyu was left at home, and he sent Shi Yan downstairs.

Walking into the elevator, Lu Jingyang let out a heavy breath, smiled wryly and said to Shiyan, "Fortunately, you are here, so that he doesn't even have someone to confide in."

"Wan Yu is very strong. Mr. Lu, please cheer up as soon as possible."

For Lu Jingyang, getting rid of Zhang Qiao is like getting rid of his humble and poor background, but it is a joyful thing.

Shi Yan thought, such a person probably only sees benefits and advantages in his eyes. No matter who is in his way, he will definitely get rid of it mercilessly.

"I'll take you back to school." After getting out of the elevator, Lu Jingyang said.

"Ah, no need, Mr. Lu, I've already moved out." Shi Yan said simply, without revealing too much, but Lu Jingyang's face turned ugly for a moment, but he immediately covered it up, "Well, where do you live, I'll send you You go back."

"It's really unnecessary, Mr. Lu, I can take the subway by myself." There happens to be a subway line close to the neighborhood where I live, which is very convenient.

Lu Jingyang grabbed Shi Yan's hand and said in an irritable tone, "Then I'll take you to the subway entrance!"

Shi Yan still wanted to refuse, but Lu Jingyang suddenly said sharply: "Don't refuse me!" in a fierce and violent tone.

The two of them had already come to the entrance hall of the residential building and walked down the steps. The flower bed next to them was full of crape myrtle flowers, and the night wind was filled with a very faint fragrance of flowers.

Shi Yan didn't expect him to have a sudden attack, so he took a step back in fright, and the people passing by looked at them strangely.

Lu Jingyang squeezed Shiyan's wrist tightly, not allowing him to break free, and pulled him to turn around, "Let's go, I'll take you to the subway."

The two walked in tandem for about ten minutes to the subway entrance, and the office workers who got off the evening shift were hurrying out of the subway station and passed them indifferently.

When Shi Yan was let go, Lu Jingyang, a nearly 40-year-old man who was always eloquent in shopping malls, didn't know what to say at this moment, and finally whispered: "Sorry, I'm not in a good mood recently."

The evening wind was blowing his hair, Shiyan looked into Lu Jingyang's eyes under the dim street light, and thought, he is so tired, to hide in front of clients, in front of his son, in front of his lover, maybe, he no longer knows how to be himself up.

"No, did it scare you?" Hesitantly, Lu Jingyang asked Shi Yan cautiously.

Shi Yan shook her head slightly, "No. Mr. Lu, I'm going in. Thank you for sending me off."

The attitude is still alienated and indifferent.

Lu Jingyang grabbed Shi Yan's hand again, ignored the gazes of passers-by, looked earnestly and even pleadingly at the young man who was as beautiful and gentle as this melodious night wind in the evening wind, "Shi Yan, I want to raise you, let me raise you Bar!"

Shi Yan looked at the man in front of him in astonishment. He had always felt that this man's attitude towards him was a bit weird, but he didn't expect him to have such an idea.

A married man who just threw away his first wife like trash, and who has countless mistresses outside, said such shameless words to himself, it is really——

Shaking off Lu Jingyang's hand vigorously, Shi Yan quickly said in disgust, "I don't understand what you said. Mr. Lu, I'm leaving, goodbye."

Turning around and stepping on the escalator, he ran down quickly regardless of the danger, trying to get rid of the sticky and disgusting eyes behind him!

Lu Jingyang looked at the fleeing figure who seemed to be rushing to the ground, and his face slowly darkened.
