Chapter 39: The Deeper the Love, the Severer the Blame

After Mu Nanxi left, Mu Ci and Mu Che smoked on the balcony of the room on the second floor.

A dazzling handsome young man, a calm old cadre, one sitting with legs crossed, the other leaning against the sliding door.

"How did that girl offend you? Didn't you love this girl very much at the beginning?" Mu Nanxi said when she first came to the Mu family.

Because there were no girls in the Mu family, Mu Che loved her very much. Firstly, he felt sorry for her background, secondly, they had half the same blood, and thirdly, she had a beautiful appearance like a doll.

He was the one who decided on the decoration of the princess' room on the second floor.

Otherwise, when Mu Nanxi received a call from Jiang Shangqing while drunk, he would not have hurriedly gotten up from the bed and went to look for her with Mu Zhen.

But later, the girl changed. He tolerated, indulged, and persuaded himself again and again...

In the end, he even wanted to ruin his reputation.

"Maybe I've accumulated enough disappointment." Mu Che held a cigarette between his legs, white smoke curling up, and there was realization in his eyes. Compared to the deliberate indifference when he met Mu Nanxi, the heartbroken expression at this moment was his true mood.

He was stabbed with sharp swords and there was no place to escape.

"Don't you hate her the most? Why are you speaking for her?" Seeing that Mu Ci was silent, Mu Che raised his head and glanced at his star brother who was leaning against the door and looked dazzling.

"I always feel that she has her own reasons. But after all, I don't want you to be so sad. Anyway, I don't have that much emotional investment in her."

"Or rather, I don't hate her, nor do I like her. It's just that having a younger sister gives me a little more responsibility. Maybe she's been spoiled by her big brother. So when she takes away your love for me, I naturally don't like her."

"Pfft... But when I think about it, I was so childish when I was little. Why would I compete with a little girl for affection?"

Mu Che flicked the ash from his cigarette and rolled his eyes at him: "I have a brother only because I saved the Milky Way in my previous life. I don't know why I owed you so much in my previous life."

"Maybe it's because she saved my life. Brother, are you really giving up on her?" Mu Ci asked, looking into Mu Che's eyes.

Mu Che put out his cigarette, stood up and ruffled the celebrity's exquisite hair: "What do you think?"

Mu Ci didn't even bother to straighten his messed up hair and went up to her to put his arm around her shoulder: "I knew you were just angry. Let's wait until the project is over, so we can have a stand with her, right?"

"I get angry when I mention projects. How about playing a game? I haven't played for a long time." Mu Che tilted his head and glanced at the drawer in the room. It contained a collection of various games that he had played since he was a child.

Mu Ci's eyes lit up: "I won't let Big Brother off tonight. Hahahaha, I'm no longer the rookie who was beaten to death by Big Brother when I was a kid."

Mu Che said unhappily: “Okay, okay, you are awesome.”

Compared to the harmony upstairs, downstairs was much calmer. Mu Zhen brought the bird's nest to Qiao Manyin and said, "Eat some beauty products. What are your plans for tomorrow?"

Qiao Manyin has always been tactful in her actions, but that incident still stands between them even after ten years. Her pride does not allow her to bow her head, and her self-control does not allow her to go crazy.

She took the bird's nest and put it into her mouth one bite after another elegantly with her orchid fingers: "I will go to my company tomorrow. I unexpectedly negotiated a project abroad. Let's give it a try."

Mu Zhen nodded: "Okay, I'm confident that you can take care of it."

Mu Nanxi returned home with her notes. Zhang Shu was still awake. As soon as she opened the door, she came up to her and said, "Why are you so late? I couldn't get through to you when I called you."

Mu Nanxi then realized that her phone had gone silent without her noticing, and now she had a long line of calls and WeChat messages.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Mu Nanxi sent a WeChat message to Mu Zhen: Dad, I’m back, good night.

Mu Zhen replied soon after: Go to bed early, good night.

Mu Che: I hate Mu Nanxi!!!

Author: Hehehe
