Highly toxic

Jiang Mu didn't want Tang Qingran to delay his affairs because of him, this kind of overly meticulous care would make him at a loss.

The injury on his foot is just a little more difficult for walking, and it hardly affects him as a person who doesn't go out very much every day.

During breakfast, Jiang Mu kept politely expressing that he hoped that Tang Qingran would be busy with his own affairs and not waste time on himself. He is an adult after all, and he still has the ability to take care of himself.

Although Tang Qingran said that he was not in a hurry to return to Tanghai City, but he saw that Jiang Mu seemed to be in a dilemma, and worried that Jiang Mu would be uncomfortable with his excessive overtures, so he said that he would return to Tanghai City the next day .

Tang Qingran used half a day in the morning to buy enough daily consumables for Jiang Mu's apartment for half a month, and then asked Jiang Mu to call the owner of a nearby vegetable market that could deliver the goods to Jiang Mu's door. You can have it delivered to your door.

Tang Qingran even bought Jiang Mu a pair of crutches.

"If you have anything to do, you can call me at any time." Tang Qingran said softly, "Tanghai City is only a few hours' drive away from Zhong'an City. If there is something urgent, I can ask my friends to come over and help you first. .”

Jiang Mu felt that with Tang Qingran's favor, he might not be able to repay a meal.

But now, compared to the injury on his foot, what makes Jiang Mu most melancholy is the whereabouts of the dumpling briquettes.

Although Geng Yan joined in to help find them, after these days, Jiang Mu couldn't help thinking about the worst.

Looking at the empty nest of dumplings by the wall, Jiang Mu felt a pain in his heart. After breaking up with He Qianyan and during the time when he was restrained by Geng Yan, the dumplings and briquettes spent with him. Those two little guys had grown up early. After seeing the two warm currents deep in his heart, he has long regarded them as relatives.

After one o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Mu, who woke up from his afternoon nap, was still lying on the bed listlessly and didn't want to move. He looked listlessly at the cell phone that hadn't moved, and his mind was in chaos.

Just when Jiang Mu was about to close his eyes and go to sleep, the phone rang suddenly.

Jiang Mu sat up from the bed like a frightened bird, looked at the strange number on the phone, and hurriedly connected.

"Pick it up so fast." Geng Yan's laughter came from the other end of the phone, "If I didn't use my assistant's phone to call you, would you still answer it so fast?"

With Geng Yan not around, Jiang Mu naturally had no scruples and said angrily, "If it was your number, I wouldn't even answer it."

"Then you are not afraid of missing the news about those two little beasts?"

Jiang Mu was taken aback for a moment, then he gripped his phone tightly and asked nervously, "You...you found them?"

"You want to know, if you want to know, call me husband." Geng Yan said with a light smile, "If you call me, I will tell you."

"Geng Yan." Jiang Mu said loudly, "Are you calling this to play tricks on me?"

"Don't be angry, I won't tease you." Geng Yan said hastily, "My people just called me and said they found that rabbit."

"Really?" Jiang Mu's voice was full of surprises, "Where is it, where is the dumpling?"

"Is there nothing else you want to tell me?"

Jiang Mu paused for a few seconds before saying in a low voice, "Thank you."

"Do you still remember your promise last night?" Geng Yan said with a smile, "I remember everything."

Jiang Mu didn't speak for a long time.

"Don't try to renege on your debt." Geng Yan said quickly, "If you want to go back on your word, don't want that rabbit."

"I didn't say I'd go back on my word, but...but we agreed that it counts only if you retrieve the dumpling briquettes at the same time, and it doesn't count if you only retrieve one."

Jiang Mu knew that he was a bit of a rascal, and he might feel a little bit sorry for other people, but at this moment, he was facing a rogue who had no credibility at all, and his sense of shame had been numb by this man Now, naturally I don't want to tell this guy any rules, if he uses evil to counter evil, he won't have any psychological burden.

"One doesn't count? Then if I only find one in the end, wouldn't I get nothing?" Geng Yan said intentionally.

"I... I can give you money to buy the dumplings back, and I also wrote a lot of rewards on the pet-seeking revelation I posted to the outside world."

"Oh, that's it." Geng Yan said with deep meaning, "Then how much can Master Xiaojiang's money be?"

"Two...two thousand." Jiang Mu said, this money may not be worth mentioning to Geng Yan, but to ordinary people, if they just retrieve a pet, the reward is enough.

This is also Jiang Mu's current limit.

"Two thousand? Master Xiaojiang is really willing."

"You don't have to speak in such a weird way, I... I remember what I promised last night very clearly, if I find one, I will only give you a reward." Jiang Mu was also afraid that Geng Yan would regret not giving the dumplings again, so he paused He added, "If you think 2000 yuan is too low, we can discuss it again, but only if I can see the dumplings."

Geng on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment, and then replied, "Okay, then I will arrange for my driver to pick you up and go to my place later, and I will go back as soon as I am done here, and then we can talk about the remuneration."

"Just... can't we go to the restaurant outside to talk?"

"Anyway, that rabbit is in my villa now, do you like it or not." After finishing speaking, Geng Yan hung up the phone directly.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock on the door of Jiang Mu's apartment.

It was Geng Yan's personal driver who came. Jiang Mu had met him when he was with Geng Yan before, so he knew him.

The driver said that he came to pick up Jiang Mu under Geng Yan's order.

With the help of the driver, Jiang Mu went downstairs, and finally got into the car and went to Geng Yan's residence.

Jiang Mu wasn't very worried about what Geng Yan would do to him next, after all, he also retreated from Geng Yan's hands under the circumstances last night.

It seemed that without knowing it, the shock from Geng Yan no longer formed any particularly terrifying threat in his heart.

I don't know if I have seen through the two hundred and five essences of the other party, or I have become numb to fear in the continuous ups and downs.

Arriving at Geng Yan's villa, Jiang Mu discovered that Qing Ma and Lao Wu, who were originally in country M, were also there.

Because Geng Yan planned to live in Zhong'an City for a long time, and Qingma and Lao Wu had no children or cares in Country M, and they were used to the work of managing affairs, so they negotiated to move here together and continue to work together. Take care of Geng Yan.

Geng Yan himself is also willing, after all, Qing Ma Lao Wu has taken care of him for several years, and knows him better than any nanny, and can take care of him more properly in life.

Qing Ma has always understood Geng Yan's feelings for Jiang Mu, and she likes the well-behaved and humble Jiang Mu from the bottom of her heart. outside enthusiasm.

Because Geng Yan had specially called to tell Jiang Mu to take the rabbit out after he came back, in case Jiang Mu wanted to take the rabbit and leave immediately.

Faced with Qingma's explanation, Jiang Mu didn't say anything. It was nearly an hour before Geng Yan came back. Qingma took Jiang Mu to the study and asked Jiang Mu to read here to pass the time...

"Xiaojiang, Mother Qing told you secretly that this study room was actually prepared by Geng Yan for you." Mother Qing said gently, "It's been ready for more than a month. When I was decorating it, I said that I would wait for you to move in later. When it’s time, I’ll give you a single use.”

Over a month ago...

Jiang Mu recalled that time, it was the time when Jiang Mu was still Geng Yan's Xiaoqinger.

At that time, he and Geng Yan had been living in an apartment close to his company, and Geng Yan also mentioned that he would take himself back to the villa.

The one who was raised outside was Xiaoqinger, and if he brought it home... So he didn't take it seriously at that time, he just thought that the man was saying something nice to coax himself.

Now it seems that he has planned to be with him for a long time...

Jiang Mu didn't show any expression. In his opinion, there was nothing to be touched by this, but Geng Yan's unilateral self-indulgence.

The most is to make him believe that Geng Yan really likes himself...

After Qing Ma left, Jiang Mu sat down on the sofa by the window.

Jiang Mu looked at the phone for a while, waiting to be bored, looked at the rows of bookshelves on the wall, and got up curiously to check.

There are famous books both at home and abroad, and there are various types of books. Jiang Mu guessed that Geng Yan didn't know what he liked at all, so he made people prepare so endlessly.

Seeing a copy of "Encyclopedia of Parenting", Jiang Mu almost laughed out loud.

Compared with reading the content of the book, Jiang Mu found it more interesting to check the types of books in the study.

Soon, Jiang Mu saw a familiar photo album on a bookshelf near the corner, and he subconsciously took it off to check, only to find that the photo album belonged to Geng Yan.

When he went to country M to pick up He Qianyan earlier, Geng Yan showed him this photo album in order to remind him of his identity as the so-called Xiaotangyuan.

The first page of the photo album is still the ones that Geng Yan showed him back then.

Jiang Mu looked at the young Geng Yan in the photo. His disheveled bangs almost covered his eyes. He was wearing dirty and patched clothes, like a child laborer enslaved by a circus, but he was handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes. In addition to being tired, there is also a bit of vigor, and it looks like a child with a strong personality.

Jiang Mu knew very well that Geng Yan didn't keep these photos for nostalgia. He told himself that he was not a nostalgic person, except for the boy who helped him back then...

He probably pointed to these photos and could recognize his little glutinous rice balls someday in the future.

Jiang Mu suddenly thought, if Geng Yan found that little glutinous rice ball now, would he not pester him anymore.

It's just that he didn't quite understand why Geng Yan put this photo album in the study room prepared for him, Jiang Mu. Could it be that Geng Yan still entrusted some of his thoughts on Xiaotangyuan?

Thinking of this, Jiang Mu turned the photo album to the second page... At first he only read the first page.

Seeing the photo on the second page, Jiang Mu was stunned for a moment.

He stared blankly at Geng Yan in the photo, and he couldn't help but gasped for a sense of familiarity.

This is……

There are only two photos on the second page of the album, about Geng Yan’s appearance at the age of sixteen or seventeen. In the photos, his hair was shaved as short as a labor prison prisoner, which made his face more angular, and his handsome and straight features appeared more three-dimensional. Naturally, there was a bit of fierce banditry.

This kind of face is more recognizable than the current Geng Yan...

Jiang Mu's heart pounded against his chest crazily, almost jumping out of his chest, and even his breathing became heavy unconsciously.

He recognized this face, and even remembered the clothes Geng Yan was wearing in the photo.

That is……
