ââ¦â¦â
Mu Sijiu stared at Xu Yuning with an inscrutable gaze, not knowing what he was thinking, and hesitated to speak.
When Xu Yuning said âonly you can help meâ, he thought it was something difficult, and even thought complacently that Xu Yuning finally realized his importance.
As it turns out, itâs just a little thing like getting your gamertag back?
Why did you ask him so seriously for such a trivial matter?
Xu Yuning couldnât figure out what Mu Sijue was thinking, and asked half uneasily and half tentatively, âAre you feeling troubled?â
Mousse said as he pulled back his thoughts, âI can help you.â
The corner of Xu Yuningâs lips lifted up, just wanting to say âthank youâ, then remembered that Mu Sijun had warned not to say these two words to him again, she stiffly took her voice back and said with a smile, âI knew youâd help me!â
âBut I wonât help you for nothing.â Mu Sijun broke Xu Yuningâs beautiful fantasy and asked if he had a point, âYouâre going to tell me what benefits I have after helping you?â
ââ¦â¦â
The smile on the corners of Xu Yuningâs lips froze and froze like encountering zero-degree weather.
When she thought about it, it was true that Mousseguy never did anyone a favor easily. Seeking a favor from him often came at a great cost.
Except, canât she be an exception?
But now, sheâs got nothing left but her, ah.
Xu Yuning thought for a moment, shook his hand with the ring, and said, âI can promise you that I wonât even take off this ring in the future.â
Mu Sijun narrowed his stern eyes, and in an instant, the air pressure in the restaurant lowered to straight overhead.
He warned, word for word, âTake it off and Iâll break your arm!â
ââ¦â¦ âXu Yuning took a breath and brought the conversation back on track, âWe made a deal, I wonât take it off in the future. How about it, deal?â
This trading condition, Mu Sijiu was not satisfied, what he wanted was far from that simple.
But what he wanted, he could figure out how to get it himself.
Xu Yuning could hide from the first day, but not the fifteenth!
Mu Sijun hooked his lips meaningfully and said slowly, âNo problem. Deal.â
Xu Yuning lowered his hand, thinking he had dodged a bullet, and smiled unusually brightly.
The two of them were halfway through their meal when Ah Guang walked in, âSeventh Brother, Sister Yuning, thereâs a piece of news for you â Dongzi has brought Mu Mu to the airport, and has already boarded the plane back to A City without incident.â
âGot it.â
Mu Sijiuâs reaction was cold and indifferent, as if the person who had just ordered Ah Guang to continue following and protecting Mu Mu was not him.
Xu Yuning sighed in relief with a âHoo-â, and the rice in his mouth became fresher.
After boarding the plane, Mu Mu could return to A City without any problems.
Thereâs no way those rivals in Conrad City are going to fly their private jets and do things in the air, is there?
Ah Guang then said, âSeven, there is â¦â¦ what to arrange for the next trip?â
âYou go out first.â Moussegu said, âIâll tell you later.â
Ah Guang slanted his eyes over to look at Xu Yuning, revealed an understanding smile, nodded, and turned to leave.
Xu Yuning looked at Mu Sijiu: âAh Guang just laughed like that, what does it mean?â
âBeing silly.â Mu Sijun directly and roughly digressed and asked, âDo you want to rest here for one night and return to A City early tomorrow morning, or go back right after dinner?â
Xu Yuning stirred the bowl of soup, âWhat about you? What do you think?â
Mushi said, âIâm with you.â
ââ¦â¦ âXu Yuning was a bit unable to react to this sudden shock of preferential treatment, touched the tip of his nose and said, âThen letâs go back after dinner.â
Mu Sijiu didnât ask why, directly followed by informing Ah Guang, ready to return to A city.
Xu Yuning hesitated and volunteered, âI donât want to stay here anymore.â
She doesnât belong here.
She was only here because someone wanted her dead. Even if she didnât end up getting hurt in any real way, this place still cast a shadow over her.
She wanted to go back to the place she knew, the place that would give her security.
Mu Sijun put down his chopsticks, looked deeply at Xu Yuning and said, âI know.â
What Xu Yuning was thinking, what she was afraid of, and what she was expecting, he knew all of it.
Xu Yuning was a little stunned as she looked at Mu Sijueâs handsome and demonic face.
She had never found her mind that difficult to understand, but what she was thinking when she was loyal to Kang Ruicheng was often unknown even to Kang Ruicheng, who prided himself on knowing her best.
Itâs amazing how easily Musashi can say â he knows.
And, he seems to really know â¦â¦
Like suddenly tasting a mouthful of honey, Xu Yuningâs heart was sweet, but on his mouth, he couldnât help but mumble and spit, âWhat do you know?â Saying that, he put down his chopsticks, âIâm full.â
Musashi looked at the leftovers â there was almost a quarter of each dish left.
However, Xu Yuning had never been a big eater. She had eaten so much that she had probably played to her limit.
Mu Sijiu did not ask for a âCD-ROMâ, gave Xu Yuning a bowl of soup and said, âDrink it.â
ââ¦â¦â Xu Yuning touched her stomach â she felt that she had already braced herself for the mouth of her throat, and with another bowl of soup, she might have to throw up.
Mu Sijiu looked at Xu Yuning, âDonât want to drink?â
Xu Yuning thought that Mu Sijun would say âthen donât drinkâ next, so she nodded frantically, hoping that Mu Sijun would be kind enough to let her go.
However, life is full of surprises â
Mousseguy scooped a tablespoon of soup from the bowl and said breezily, âI can feed you.â
âPfft â¦â¦â Xu Yuning almost choked on herself, looking incredulously at Mu Sijun, âWhy donât you follow the cards?â
Musashi raised an eyebrow and asked back, unimpressed, âWhatâs a card thatâs played according to âcard theoryâ?â
âYou drink it yourself.â Xu Yuning grunted, âYouâve already served it.â
Without thinking, Musashi retorted, âI served it to you.â
Younin Hsu: ââ¦â¦â
Stalemate to the end, Xu Yuning still compromised and drank the bowl of soup, and Mu Sijun finally showed a satisfied look and led her out of the villa.
As he closed the door, Mu Sijun glanced back at the villa, the deep color of the night hiding his eyes, leaving the onlookers no way to see what he was thinking.
Xu Yuning didnât know why, but as if she knew in her heart that she should ask this question, she asked offhandedly, âMu Shijiu, what is this place?â
She had a vague feeling â this place seemed to be very important to Musashi.
Mu Sijiuâs reaction, however, was greatly unexpected by Xu Yuning.
He withdrew his eyes and said absently, âBought it for fun when I was bored. Go away.â
ââ¦â¦â
Xu Yuning really wanted to give Mu Sijue a double hit of 666.
Thatâs the height of âmoney and freedomâ, isnât it?
Ah Guang knew the inside story, but Mu Sijiu obviously didnât want Xu Yuning to know, he had to keep silent about the matter and reminded, âSeventh Brother, Sister Yuning, the airport side is ready, letâs set off back.â
Mu Sijun pulled open the car door and gestured to Xu Yuning, âGo up.â
Xu Yuning also did not know if it was her illusion, she always felt â¦â¦ that the atmosphere seemed to have suddenly become a little sad.
Shouldnât everyone be happy that theyâre going back?
Maybe she was overthinking it.
Xu Yuning didnât bother to think about it any further, and rushed to the airport peacefully, with only the joy of returning home in his heart.
They were traveling on Mu Sijiuâs private jet, which was much more spacious and comfortable than the airlinesâ passenger planes, and the temperature of the cabin was regulated just right.
Mu Sijiu just sat down, the cell phone rang, the screen shows âJane Annâ.
He didnât answer the phone and directly handed it to Xu Yuning.
Xu Yuning understood as soon as she took a look at the name on the caller ID â at a time like this, Su Jianan calling Mu Sijun must be looking for her.
Xu Yuning picked up the phone, suppressed his joy, tried to make his voice sound normal, and slowly said, âJanean, itâs me.â
Su Jianan recognized Xu Yuningâs voice in a second and couldnât help but laugh out, âYuning! Si Jue really found you!â
If she wasnât extremely restrained, Su Jianan would almost be so excited that she would lose her temper.
Xu Yuning glanced at Mu Sijun, turned her back to him, gave a âhmmâ sound, and said with a smile, âJianan, donât worry, Iâm fine.â
âItâs good that itâs okay.â Su Jianan was excited like a child, âBy the way, when will you be back?â
âWeâre already on the airplane.â Xu Yuning said, âItâs estimated that we can arrive in A City first thing tomorrow morning.â
âGreat!â Su Jiananâs voice was filled with surprise, âYuning, after you and Si Jue go home and settle down, come over to my place! Iâll prepare a delicious meal for you to welcome you! It just so happens that Yue Chuan has been discharged from the hospital, he and Yun Yun will also come over together.â
âYeah, see you tomorrow!â
Xu Yuning and Su Jianan said a few more words, hung up the phone, but suddenly reacted to Su Jiananâs words are not quite right, the path into meditation â¦â¦
Seeing Xu Yuningâs contemplative look, Mu Sijiu teased her, âWhat thought-provoking words did Jane An say that deserve you to think for so long?â
âJanean said that she just said âwhen we get home and settle downâ.â Xu Yuning turned back and looked at Mu Sijun, âBut, my home is in G City.â
ââ¦â¦â
In fact, both Xu Yuning and Mu Siju no longer had a home in G City.
In the future, they can only live in A city.
So, Su Jiananâs words werenât right, Xu Yuning didnât know the truth, thatâs why she felt wrong.
Mu Sijiu did not move to round up Su Jiananâs words, âJianan might have been too excited and forgotten these details.â
When Xu Yuning thought about it carefully, it seemed like it was possible.
She nodded understandingly, âI suppose so.â
Mu Sijun didnât continue with this topic and brought Xu Yuning into the room, saying, âYou rest first.â
Xu Yuning asked offhandedly, âWhat about you?â
She swore she was just asking.
However, Mousseguy had clearly misunderstood her.
Mu Sijiu looked at Xu Yuning meaningfully, âIf you want me to stay, you can just say it.â
Younin Hsu: ââ¦â¦â
Hey, how did Mousseguy talk as if she couldnât wait for him to stay?
Xu Yuning felt that no matter what the truth was, she had to deny it â vehemently!
