Chapter 11: We Don't Like Others Entering Our Room
"No... No!" She denied Qin Mu's words with sobs, "You're not home, I want to stay in the bedroom, I've taken a bath myself, and when my brother comes home he won't have to wash me again."
This was a reason Qin Mu had not expected, and his anger subsided a little. "Then why is the door locked?"
Qin Mu looked at Gu Chuyue who suddenly became twisted, and felt the hand of the little devil in front of him tugging at his clothes under the quilt. He pulled his hand away mercilessly and said, "Speak." His tone was not very good, and he needed to learn a lesson.
"I don't like people coming into my brother's and my room." It belongs to them, doesn't it?
Otherwise, they say that some people are born to deceive others! Gu Chuyue looked at Qin Mu with red eyes, like a little wolf cub, looking extremely aggrieved.
Thinking of the scene where Xiao Jiangran was kneeling on the ground trying desperately to save the life, and Gu Chuyue's pale little face was lifeless, Qin Mu's heart seemed to be tightly gripped.
An absurd feeling of self-blame suddenly came over me - was it because I didn't spend enough time with him?
No way!
He rejected the thought as soon as it came to his mind, and a nameless anger made his temples throb.
He's been staying with me all the time these days, is he just hanging around with air? Such a big, living, clinging bug, it just wants to be hanging on him all the time!
Thinking of Gu Chuyue's usual clingy attitude that seemed to grow on his trouser legs, he was anxious and angry, and almost blurted out a serious criticism of Gu Chuyue: "Gu Chuyue! You are really too clingy! If I don't keep my eyes on you for a second, you can cause me such trouble!"
He scratched his hair in frustration, his voice filled with fear and gnashing of teeth, "Am I going to have to tie you to my belt from now on and carry you around like a human pendant?!"
After Qin Mu criticized him, he still couldn't stand Gu Chuyue's aggrieved look. How could he be so pitiful? He was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he pulled him over, pressed him into his arms, and wrapped him tightly with a quilt. He didn't even notice the slight smile on the man's face in his arms. There was no sign of aggrieved look on his face.
Gu Chuyue felt that the person holding him was really, really easy to deceive.
The two of them lay down for a while, and Qin Mu was still ready to take them downstairs to eat.
Looking sideways at Gu Chuyue who was quietly beside him, the little villain's face still had a bit of paleness from being sick.
He frowned slightly. This little villain's physical foundation was too weak, as frail as a piece of paper. It would take a lot of effort to slowly nurture him back to health. He couldn't rush. The most urgent thing was to eat on time to replenish his nutrition.
"Let's go, let's go downstairs for dinner." Qin Mu stood up first, his movements a little cautious and imperceptible. He reached out and gently grasped Gu Chuyue's slightly cold wrist, pulling her out of bed. Gu Chuyue obediently let him lead her.
After they walked out of the room, Qin Mu didn't head straight for the stairs. He took Gu Chuyue with him and walked a few steps down the corridor, stopping in front of the door of Xiao Jiangran's guest room.
Without hesitation, Qin Mu raised his hand, and his bony fingers knocked three times on the smooth and thick solid wood door panel, neither light nor heavy.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
There was a moment of silence inside the door, followed by the clacking of slippers against the floor, which came closer and closer, carrying the sluggish feeling of just waking up. The door lock clicked softly, and the door opened a crack, then opened completely.
Xiao Jiangran appeared at the door. He had clearly just been awakened from a short nap, his black hair much messier than usual, his usually meticulously combed bangs casually draped across his forehead.
He raised his hand to cover a huge yawn, with some normal tears in the corners of his eyes, and his whole body exuded a lazy and confused air.
More importantly, he'd shed his signature sharp suit, which had always made him look sharp and sharp, and was now wearing only a soft, dark gray loungewear, the collar slightly open, revealing a small sliver of collarbone. Without the "armor" of a suit, his aloof, elite air of "gentlemanly scoundrel" vanished, leaving only a homely casualness and a rare sense of ease.
Seeing Qin Mu and Gu Chuyue at the door, Xiao Jiangran lowered his hand covering his mouth and blinked hard to dispel the sleepiness. After seeing the intention of the visitors, a smile immediately spread across his face, and his voice was still a little hoarse from just waking up: "Oh, are you here to eat? Let's go!"
Her tone was one of undisguised ease and anticipation. "I haven't had Aunt Zhang's cooking in a long time. I really miss it."
Qin Mu and the other party were speechless. "A little bit?" He had no recollection of who it was, but after they became familiar with each other, they would always come here to eat for free.
Actually, not really. Xiao Jiangran's eating habits were just like his outward appearance: refined and elegant, like a nobleman. This was something he had slowly cultivated since he started working, in order to better himself. Others might not understand, but those who knew him well knew how difficult it was for him.
Xiao Jiangran looked at the way the two people in front of him interacted with each other, and his intuition told him that when he came back in the afternoon and pulled Gu Chuyue out of the bathtub, he should have seen the look in Gu Chuyue's eyes correctly. He was a surgeon, but he also had deep research in psychology. The moment Gu Chuyue woke up, the indifference in his eyes, the feeling that he didn't care about his own life, was hard for him to ignore.
He picked up the water cup, took a sip of water, put it down, and then spoke slowly: "Qin Mu, do you know how to take care of people? What happened to such a young child this afternoon is so dangerous."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jiangran felt a cold stare directed at him. He looked up at the two people across the table, but there was no particular reaction. Gu Chuyue lowered his head and quietly ate the food Qin Mu had put in his bowl. Qin Mu replied, "You're just a child, you don't understand," and then continued to nag Gu Chuyue not to be picky about food and to finish everything he had picked.
After the meal, Gu Chuyue sat on the sofa and watched TV. He didn't care about the content on TV at all. He frowned and fixed his eyes on the study. The door was closed. His brother and that annoying person had been in there for half an hour. It was really annoying. When this person came, his brother left him alone here, and this person kept staring at him from time to time.
In the study
Xiao Jiangran sat opposite Qin Mu, holding a cigarette in his hand but not smoking it. Qin Mu felt that it would be unpleasant if Gu Chuyue smelled it soon.
"I understand the general situation. From your description, the Gu family's grandson, who lives away from home, does have mental problems. Aside from the abnormal behavior I just saw when I returned, I observed him during dinner and he seemed quite normal. Let me talk to him privately later. We need to see the specific situation.
Qin Mu said: "Well, I leave the person to you."
Xiao Jiangran asked doubtfully: ""
Qin Mu stood up and took a report to analyze. "The cooperation between Qin Corporation and QLLE has basically been finalized. Some details still need to be discussed, so I have to go abroad."
Xiao Jiangran flipped through the documents in his hand, and after a while he looked up at Qin Mu, "The report is quite detailed, but this piece of land in the northern suburbs..." He remembered that there was a private manor, and it seemed that the area divided in the manor conflicted with the project.
Qin Mu nodded, indicating that there was indeed a problem.
"The private manor belongs to Huo Yuan." Qin Mu said.
Xiao Jiangran understood the twists and turns. The Qin family was indeed able to cover the sky with one hand in Kyoto. Even if the other party had a very high reputation, it would only mean a few more tricks for the Qin family.
The trouble lies with Huo Yuan's husband, Yu Lucheng, a gangster. Although he is no longer with us, the power behind him is still there.
Xiao Jiangran: "It's difficult." There's no need to antagonize others, so we have to think of other ways. However, "Didn't they say Huo Yuan and Yu Lucheng have a bad relationship? Isn't their relationship good?"
Qin Mu recalled the contents of the book after Lin Wu mentioned it last time, and had a clear idea of it.
"Knock knock knock..." The sound of knocking on the door reached the ears of both of them. Xiao Jiangran went over to open the door, and the person outside was Gu Chuyue.
When Gu Chuyue saw that it was not Qin Mu who opened the door, the smile on his face disappeared, he walked around Xiao Jiangran and came to Qin Mu, and consciously turned the office chair Qin Mu was sitting on to face him.
