"ah?"
"nothing."
Shen Lanxin's voice was so soft that Mu Liuyun couldn't hear it clearly.
"Yes, Xiaoyun, you're back too. Take good care of Miss Chen. I'll be going now."
As he spoke, Old Man Mu glanced at the photo album, which Shen Lanxin had photographed up to the last page, and silently put the album back into his luggage.
His original plan was to give this photo album to Shen Lanxin, since he had given Chu Yaqin a lot of advice, and to be fair, it would be better to just give her a gift.
Who would have thought that this girl would move so quickly?
Hearing that Grandpa Mu was about to leave, Mu Liuyun, who had just been unhappy because of shame, became sad again: "Grandpa, I've bought the groceries. Can you eat before you go?"
Old Mu shook his head: "What's there to eat? This old man is going to Chu Tianxing's house for a big meal!"
Then, he picked up his luggage and walked towards the door, only turning back when he reached the door: "When Grandpa comes back, Xiaoyun will cook another meal for him."
Mu Liuyun nodded deeply, her gaze fixed on Old Man Mu, until the door opened and then closed again.
At this moment, Mu Liuyun truly felt the taste of parting.
In her previous life, Mu Liuyun had no relatives or friends. In this life, since she was found, she has been with Old Man Mu and they have never been separated.
This sudden separation of nearly a year left Mu Liuyun feeling empty inside.
Shen Lanxin also noticed Mu Liuyun's emotional change. Not being very good at comforting people, she reached out and stroked Mu Liuyun's head: "It's okay. Grandpa Mu is just going abroad. You can go abroad to see Grandpa Mu too."
Upon hearing Shen Lanxin's words, Mu Liuyun seemed to awaken from a dream.
He suddenly realized that Old Man Mu wasn't the protagonist of a melodramatic novel, someone who would disappear without a trace once he went abroad, just like he was dead. He could call him anytime, and even had enough money to go abroad to see him.
Sigh, we've really been led astray by those few people surnamed Lin.
Having figured this out, Mu Liuyun returned to normal, shook the bag in her hand, and asked Shen Lanxin with a smile, "Lanxin, do you want to eat? But we only have home-cooked dishes."
Shen Lanxin naturally wouldn't refuse. The memory of having dinner with Mu Liuyun last time was her biggest motivation to eat well these past two days.
...
...
An hour and a half later, Shen Lanxin volunteered to wash the dishes in the kitchen. Mu Liuyun stared at the empty rice cooker, lost in thought.
Normally, Mu Liuyun wouldn't leave the dishwashing to a guest. Especially not this guest, who was Shen Lanxin, a wealthy heiress and president of a large company.
Mu Liuyun just couldn't understand how Shen Lanxin, who usually seemed to be able to fill her stomach with just nutritional capsules, could eat so much.
For this meal, Mu Liuyun simply prepared four dishes and a soup. She thought Shen Lanxin would find it unappealing, or would try to make conversation like she did last time, but neither did.
Shen Lanxin devoured Mu Liuyun's rice cooker, leaving it completely empty, like a starving ghost. She even used the last bit of broth from the scrambled eggs with tomatoes to mix with her rice.
"Wow, my cooking skills are actually that good?"
For some reason, Mu Liuyun suddenly felt that opening a restaurant in the future might be a good choice.
A short while later, Shen Lanxin finished washing the dishes, checked the time and it was already 7:30, so she couldn't help but sigh.
She and Chu Yaqin agreed to target the Liu family together. Since it was Chu Yaqin who made the suggestion, Chu Yaqin was in charge of the daytime work and public opinion control, while Shen Lanxin was in charge of the night.
It was now Shen Lanxin's turn to be in charge, so she couldn't stay at Mu Liuyun's house any longer.
"Xiaoyun, come with me tonight?"
Shen Lanxin stared longingly at Mu Liuyun. Although she had important business to attend to that evening, the thought that Mu Liuyun and Chu Yaqin were only separated by a wall, while she was several streets away from Mu Liuyun, made her feel uneasy. She was afraid that Chu Yaqin would take the peach first.
Mu Liuyun naturally refused, as he still needed to keep an eye on Shi Hengyu and the others that night so that he could call the police immediately if anything went wrong.
"Lanxin, let me see you off."
Shen Lanxin sighed and nodded, then walked out of the room with Mu Liuyun.
But after she passed Chu Yaqin's house, she looked back and found that Mu Liuyun was gone, leaving only a tightly closed door.
Is something the matter?
Shen Lanxin had some doubts, but after thinking about the meal Mu Liuyun had just made, she was instantly enveloped in happiness and thought that Mu Liuyun might have had some urgent matter to attend to and had gone home first.
"Anyway, you, Chu Yaqin, have probably never eaten Xiaoyun's cooking before."
Thinking this, Shen Lanxin smiled and walked towards the Bentley in the darkness. After she left, a noise came from Chu Yaqin's rented room.
"President Chu, this doesn't seem right."
"Call me Yaqin, there's nothing wrong with that."
"Hiss, Yaqin, this isn't right, is it?"
"Yes, call me sister."
"Forehead."
"Left foot, red."
With a soft electronic voice, Mu Liuyun looked at the plastic board with various colored circles printed on it and suddenly became speechless.
On his way to take Shen Lanxin to the parking lot, just as he passed Chu Yaqin's room, his mouth was covered by two hands, and he was forcibly pulled inside. The speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to scream.
I initially thought we were in some kind of danger, but in the blink of an eye, we started playing a game of twisty fun with Chu Yaqin.
Although Mu Liuyun had never played this game, he had heard of it, and for someone with his good physical flexibility, the game was quite interesting.
However, Chu Yaqin completely disregarded the rules. With each movement, she tried to press her body as close to Mu Liuyun as possible, and soon she had Mu Liuyun pinned to the ground, unable to move.
Mu Liuyun couldn't help but recall what happened last night, and her face flushed red. She felt both excited and anxious.
Admittedly, he was quite interested in this kind of close contact. But at this very moment, while his best friend was risking his life for him, he was here having a great time with beautiful women.
Isn't this a bit too much?
After hesitating for a long time, Mu Liuyun finally stopped the game before the next roulette wheel started spinning: "Yaqin, I really have something to do."
