Chapter 346 Miss Mu, playing with fire requires responsibility
“Ding Dong—Ding Dong—”
The doorbell rang suddenly. Mu Nanyan put down the book in her hand and answered the door:
“Here I come!”
She held her injured ankle and limped to the door.
Through the cat's eye, Lu Yiran's handsome face suddenly came into view.
Mu Nanyan limped towards the door. When the door opened, she saw Lu Yiran standing at the door.
Mu Nanyan opened the door, unable to hide her surprise:
"Why are you here? Don't you have to go to work today?"
Lu Yiran put one hand in his pocket and raised his eyebrows when he heard this:
"Who do you think it is?"
There was a hint of danger in his tone.
Mu Nanyan rolled her eyes and deliberately prolonged her tone:
"Who else~ Of course I'm dating a... boy."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yiran's face instantly darkened, his jawline tightened, and his eyes were as dark as ink.
You said you'd think it over this morning? And you're already dating another man after just a short while?
He wanted to see who was so blind as to try to poach his girlfriend.
Comparing looks? Comparing financial resources? He, Lu Yiran, has never been afraid of anyone!
"bite--"
The sound of the elevator door opening made Lu Yiran's muscles tense instantly.
He subconsciously turned sideways, half-shielding Mu Nanyan behind him, and exuded an aura that kept strangers away.
However, the person who walked out of the elevator was a courier boy in a red uniform.
"Excuse me, who is Mu Nanyan? I have a delivery for you."
The young man held up the package with a bright smile.
"here!"
Mu Nanyan poked her head out from behind Lu Yiran and raised her hand happily.
The courier came over, asked Mu Nanyan to sign for it, and then left.
He is truly a man like the wind, coming and going in a hurry.
Silence returned to the corridor, leaving only Lu Yiran frozen in place.
Lu Yiran stood by with an embarrassed look on his face. Only then did he realize that he had just been deceived by Mu Nanyan.
"Is this what you mean by...boy?"
He turned his head slowly, his voice dry.
Mu Nanyan held the express delivery and blinked her innocent eyes:
"Yeah, aren't delivery guys boys? What's the problem?"
Lu Yiran: “…”
He took a deep breath and suddenly stretched out his hand to support the door frame, trapping Mu Nanyan in a small space:
"Miss Mu, playing with fire requires responsibility."
There was a dangerous tone in his deep voice, but it couldn't hide the suspicious blush on the tips of his ears.
Mu Nanyan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked away and changed the subject:
"Wait, you haven't answered me yet. How come you have time to come to me today, Wednesday?"
Lu Yiran put one hand in his pocket and looked at her seriously:
"Go inside and talk."
Mu Nanyan stepped aside and watched him walk straight into the living room with his long legs.
The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto his crisp suit, outlining a neat silhouette.
"I've shifted my work focus back to the capital. There's nothing much to do here."
He loosened his tie and continued in a low voice:
"Come out with me at noon, and I'll take you somewhere after dinner."
Mu Nanyan keenly noticed the sharp flash in his eyes:
"Have you found that person?"
"Um."
She stood up suddenly, not caring about the sharp pain in her injured ankle:
"What are you waiting for? Let's go now!"
There was an irrepressible urgency in his voice.
She couldn't wait to know why the man wanted to hurt her.
Before last night, Mu Nanyan had never met any man, let alone had any conflicts with him.
She really couldn't understand why the murderer, whom she had never met, wanted to kill her?
Lu Yiran held her shoulders firmly, the warmth of his fingertips coming through the fabric:
"No rush, go eat first, he can't run away."
Mu Nanyan was about to refute when she saw the corners of his lips curled slightly:
"I'm helping you find someone, but you can't even bear to eat a meal with me?"
These words made her ears burn.
Indeed, Lu Yiran was in charge of everything from investigation to arrest, and she, the person involved, seemed like a hands-off boss.
"Okay, wait for me for a moment, I'll go change my clothes."
"Um."
Mu Nanyan stood up from the sofa and limped back to her bedroom.
Twenty minutes later, Mu Nanyan slowly moved out of the bedroom, holding on to the wall.
She chose a loose light brown sweater and paired it with a knee-length cotton and linen skirt. The soft fabric would not rub against the newly stitched wound on her knee.
The white gauze wrapped around her right knee was faintly visible under the hem of her skirt, and she could feel the dull pain from the two stitches with every step she took.
Lu Yiran was processing emails in the living room and turned around immediately when he heard the sound.
The sunlight slanted in from the floor-to-ceiling window behind him, but it couldn't dispel the worry in his eyes.
"Does it still hurt?"
He put down the phone in his hand and his eyes fell on her right knee.
Mu Nanyan shook her head:
"Much better than yesterday."
She tried to quicken her pace, but still walked cautiously.
Lu Yiran took two steps at a time and walked up to her. He stretched out his arms and picked her up steadily.
This action has been repeated too many times in the past two days, from the hospital corridor to the apartment living room, Mu Nanyan is almost used to the warmth of his arms.
"Put me down, I can walk by myself..."
Mu Nanyan protested softly, but her fingers unconsciously tugged at his collar.
Lu Yiran looked down at her, a smile flashing in his eyes:
"At the rate you're going, it'll be dark by the time you get to the garage. Don't you want to see the person who hurt you sooner?"
Mu Nanyan was suddenly speechless.
This hateful man always knew what excuses to use to make her submit.
Feeling that the person in his arms had stopped struggling, Lu Yiran's lips curled up in a triumphant smile.
He adjusted his posture to make Mu Nanyan's injured right leg more comfortable, then strode towards the elevator.
The elevator was still on the first floor. While waiting, Mu Nanyan moved uncomfortably:
"Put me down, I'm... pretty heavy."
Her voice gradually became quieter, and her eyelashes fluttered nervously.
Mu Nanyan was actually quite insecure about her weight. She had seen celebrities weighing around 80 kilograms. Even so, the male celebrities would still dislike the female celebrities' weight when they were holding them while filming variety shows.
She remembered that the last time she weighed herself, her weight was about 95. Would Lu Yiran also think she was heavy?
Hearing this, Lu Yiran suddenly lifted her up. The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Mu Nanyan scream and she instinctively put her arms around his neck.
"you--"
She glared at him angrily, but her anger faltered when she met his smiling eyes.
"It's very light. You're too thin."
Lu Yiran's voice was low, and his breath brushed against the top of her head.
"bite--"
The elevator door slowly opened.
Lu Yiran carried her in and walked in, then considerately put her down. It wasn't because he couldn't hold her, but he knew she was shy and didn't want to embarrass her in front of strangers.
As the elevator went down, Mu Nanyan secretly glanced at the man next to her.
He was wearing a dark grey shirt today, with the cuffs rolled up to his elbows, revealing his well-defined forearms.
It was these hands that held her tightly in the emergency room yesterday, and did not let go until the suture was completed.
What should I do? It’s really hard not to be moved by Lu Yiran like this.
The elevator went down smoothly and suddenly stopped on the 15th floor.
The moment the door opened, a middle-aged woman carrying a basket of vegetables walked in.
Mu Nanyan subconsciously walked to the side, and the middle-aged woman stood between Mu Nanyan and Lu Yiran.
The elevator quickly arrived at the underground garage. Mu Nanyan's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Lu Yiran was going to hug her again. She rushed out before the elevator door fully opened, her speed so fast that it didn't seem like someone who had just had stitches on her knee.
Lu Yiran watched from behind, shaking his head, and followed in three or two steps:
"Your legs don't hurt anymore?"
There was clear teasing in his voice.
Mu Nanyan gritted her teeth, and the pain from her knees caused a thin layer of sweat to appear on her forehead.
But face was more important than anything else, so she forced a smile:
"I suddenly feel much better."
It's better to suffer in order to save face.
Lu Yiran thought so in his heart, but still did not pick up Mu Nanyan. After all, the middle-aged woman was right behind them.
When the two of them arrived at the parking space, Mu Nanyan realized that his parking space was empty.
When Lu Yiran left Haicheng, he asked someone to put his car back to his villa in Haicheng. His sports car was hit yesterday and sent to the 4S shop for repair, so his parking space was empty.
Obviously, Lu Yiran only remembered this matter when he saw the empty parking space, but he quickly reacted and said to Mu Nanyan:
"Give me your car keys."
Lu Yiran stretched out his hand, his tone as natural as if he was discussing the weather.
However, Mu Nanyan was stunned. She didn't bring the car keys at all. Her foot was injured and she thought she was riding in Lu Yiran's car. She didn't bring the car keys at all. Who would have known that the president of Dingsheng Group didn't have a car when he went out?
"Uh... I didn't bring..."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Lu Yiran rubbed his eyebrows and said helplessly:
"Where did you put your car keys? I'll go get them."
"It's hanging on the key rack in the entrance."
"Wait here."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the elevator, his back revealing a hint of helplessness.
Mu Nanyan stood there, waiting for Lu Yiran to disappear from her sight, when she suddenly realized a serious problem. She seemed to have not told Lu Yiran the password to her home door!
Mu Nanyan was about to chase after him, but after thinking about it, she stopped.
The elevator was on this floor just now. Lu Yiran might have already gone up now. It would be too late to catch up with him.
Forget it. When he goes up, he will probably send me a message asking for the password.
Mu Nanyan thought so and took out her cell phone from her bag, waiting for Lu Yiran's news.
But she stared at the phone for a long time, and Lu Yiran didn't send her any message.
"What are you looking at? You look so engrossed."
A low voice suddenly sounded in her ears. Mu Nanyan looked up suddenly and saw Lu Yiran standing in front of her, shaking her car keys in his hand.
Mu Nanyan was confused. How did Lu Yiran know her home password?
She remembered that she didn't tell him!
Mu Nanyan was confused, but she subconsciously sat in the passenger seat. After Mu Nanyan fastened her seat belt, Lu Yiran started the car and drove out of the underground parking garage.
Mu Nanyan sat in the passenger seat, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the seat belt.
The street scene outside the window was rapidly receding, but it could not enter her sight at all. All her attention was focused on the fatal password.
How did he know that?
Did she let something slip sometime? Or did she say that Lu Yiran saw her opening the door?
Memories flashed through my mind like a movie played in reverse.
Suddenly, she remembered the last time Lu Yiran was drunk and she helped him open the door. Lu Yiran's password was the same as hers. She thought Lu Yiran was telling her birthday, and the password of her home was also the same.
Mu Nanyan sat up straight abruptly, not caring about the pain when her knee hit the front box.
A terrible thought hit her: what if he wasn't drunk at all that night?
Lu Yiran noticed this scene out of the corner of his eye and glanced at her sideways:
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing! I just... suddenly remembered something about work."
Mu Nanyan answered too quickly, her fingers tightly grasping the hem of her skirt. Her voice became smaller and smaller, as those words that had been deliberately forgotten were pouring back like a flood.
[You are Mu Nanyan, my wife, the mother of my child... the person I love.]
【Mu Nanyan, I like you. 】
…
The man's low and hoarse voice seemed to still be beside her ears, and his warm breath mixed with the aroma of wine brushed past her earlobe.
At that time, she just thought Lu Yiran was drunk and didn't take his drunken words to heart, but now...
Mu Nanyan quietly turned her head and looked at the man in the driver's seat.
If those words were true...
This thought made Mu Nanyan's heart skip a beat.
"Have you seen enough?"
Lu Yiran held the steering wheel with one hand, and caught a glimpse of Mu Nanyan's fixed gaze from the corner of his eye.
Lu Yiran could see that Mu Nanyan had been absent-minded since she got in the car, and he had no idea what was going on in her mind.
Mu Nanyan ignored his teasing and said seriously:
"How on earth did you know my house password?"
Lu Yiran chuckled: "Is it hard to guess? Isn't this always the lock screen on your phone?"
Mu Nanyan's pupils suddenly contracted. How could he know? !
Seeing her shocked expression, Lu Yiran patiently explained:
"You're too short. I can always see you typing your password when I stand next to you."
He paused, a hint of teasing appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"And I noticed you have a habit of using the same password for all of your passwords..."
Mu Nanyan instantly lost her composure. Lu Yiran actually called her short! She was clearly 1.7 meters tall!
"How am I short?"
She was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, her fur instantly standing on end. When she realized the second half of Lu Yiran's words, she immediately realized that the point was wrong. He actually knew that all her passwords were the same?!
Indeed, to make it easier to remember, she used the same password for her bank card, mobile phone, and door lock.
I thought it was foolproof, but I didn't expect it to be completely transparent in Lu Yiran's eyes.
Wait...bank card?!
Mu Nanyan's alarm bells immediately rang. No one was allowed to take her money! She still had to save the money to support Chenchen.
Mu Nanyan turned her head suddenly and stared at him warily:
"I advise you to sleep with one eye open at night."
Lu Yiran was either busy with work or thinking about Mu Nanyan all day long, so he had no idea about these things. He asked with a puzzled look on his face:
"Why?"
"You know too much..."
She lowered her voice, trying to sound threatening.
