When Mu Jingjue came out of his sister's room and returned to his room, he looked around but didn't see Song Ci. He thought she should be downstairs, so he simply pulled out his suitcase and packed the clothes he would need for the next few days.
When Song Ci came up, he had already finished packing and was pushing the suitcase to a corner.
Song Ci saw his suitcase as soon as he entered the room, and was puzzled. Why was he packing his luggage so late at night?
He didn't seem to tell me that he was going on a business trip?
"Are you going on a business trip?"
Her cold voice was particularly clear in the quiet room. After Mu Jingjue put down his luggage, he turned around and saw Song Ci, who had just been downstairs, now appeared at the door.
"Well, I'm going on a business trip abroad for a week."
"When do we leave?"
"Tomorrow morning at seven."
Song Ci was stunned by this sudden news. She never expected that less than half a month after getting married, her husband would go on a business trip abroad, leaving her alone to take care of the family. Why did this seem so unreal?
"Oh." She didn't know how to react, so she just said "oh" casually, then she walked to the sofa and sat down.
Mu Jingjue also followed and sat next to her.
Song Ci turned his head and looked at him walking towards him, and said "Huh?" in confusion.
"I need to trouble you with something." Mu Jingjue said.
Song Ci felt it was a little magical. What could the dignified President Mu still bother her with? She looked at him and asked him to continue talking, as she was listening.
"I'm going on a business trip for a week, which is a long time. Please stay home and help me look after the house and take care of my grandma and sister."
Song Ci thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just a small matter, not a big deal, so he just agreed casually.
"Well, don't worry, I'm at home." After saying that, she felt that she seemed to have agreed too quickly, as if she had agreed naturally before anyone else could react.
She bit her lip and cursed herself in her heart for speaking so quickly.
Seeing that she agreed, Mu Jingjue's mood became brighter, and his tone became more colorful: "Thank you, Mrs. Mu." Mu Jingjue called out the three words Mrs. Mu very easily, and Song Ci felt a little unnatural listening to it.
Since they got married, they have been calling each other by their first names. Now that he called her Mrs. Mu, she actually didn't feel disgusted. She even had a subtle feeling in her heart. She thought she must be crazy.
"Yanran might be a little noisy, and she might even become more arrogant when I'm not home. When the time comes, I'll be away, so please help me keep an eye on her. If she doesn't behave, you can teach her a lesson. An elder sister-in-law is like a mother, so don't spoil her. She might be a little bit capricious, but most of the time she's very well behaved." Mu Jingjue explained gently. In his heart, his sister was still very lovable, and he held her in his hands and doted on her. However, she was new, and they didn't get along yet. He hoped that the two of them could get along well.
Besides, these days, he felt that Song Ci was not such an unreasonable person.
"Yeah." Song Ci agreed. She didn't want to argue with the child. After all, she wasn't the kind of person who was intolerant. She just murmured in her heart, "How can you be so well-behaved? You're almost putting on a face that says 'I'm not to be messed with.'"
After the explanation, the two of them went about their own business and remained silent all night.
In the morning, when Mu Jingjue left, Song Ci was still sleeping.
He looked at her peaceful sleeping face, and suddenly felt something filled in his heart. In the past, every time he went on a business trip, he felt that the room was cold. At this moment, he felt that even if he left for a few days, the room would not be cold anymore.
Moreover, in the past, when he went out, he never thought of asking others to do anything, but now, he can actually have someone to entrust with his work and ask someone to help him look after the house. It seemed that this was a very subtle feeling, which made him suddenly feel that this was what home was like.
He shook his head and suppressed the thought. After living for thirty years, he actually had such a terrible idea.
He closed the door gently and left with his luggage.
When Song Ci got up, it was already eight o'clock. She went downstairs sleepily.
Mu Yanran had already gone to school. After her grandma finished her breakfast, she went out for a walk with Aunt Yang. She hurriedly finished her breakfast and drove slowly to work.
On the first day that Mu Jingjue left, she actually felt a little uncomfortable. It felt like there was suddenly one less person in the room, and it felt empty.
These days, the two of them sleep together, but now that one person is missing, I always feel like something is missing.
She felt uneasy even when sleeping, and thought there was something wrong with her brain. She tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep. It took her a long time to fall asleep.
Although she and Mu Yanran didn't get along, their quarrels were minor and the relationship was harmonious.
With people chatting and talking, the house feels a bit lively. Otherwise, such a huge mansion would seem a bit deserted and lifeless.
