Chapter 98 Stay overnight?
Seeing Yu Qinghuan walking towards him regardless of the astonished looks of the people around him, Mu Huaian's heart beat uncontrollably. He knew that he shouldn't do this, but he couldn't help but take a step forward.
Xie Zhili, who was standing aside, had a dark face, the veins on his fists throbbing under his sleeves, and he felt even more uneasy.
Ever since Xie Zhiwen came back, Yu Qinghuan has been avoiding me, as if she wants to clear all ties with me. If I hadn't pestered her, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to see each other.
But when she came to Mu Huaian, she not only did not hide, but even walked towards Mu Huaian in this attic where people came and went, and personally gave Mu Huaian the veil hat that she had prepared for her earlier!
How could he feel good about such a comparison?
At this time, Yu Qinghuan had already stopped in front of Mu Huaian, using his thin body to block the view from outside the attic.
If it weren't for him today, he would never come to a crowded place like Jingyuan, would not have met Yu Zhilan, and would not have encountered such a thing.
Thinking of Mu Huaian's lonely appearance just now, Yu Qinghuan felt that everyone had let him down.
Their eyes met, and she clutched the veil in her hand, wanting to put it on Mu Huaian. She also wanted to hug him, comfort him, and tell him that what others said was not important. No matter what he looked like, she liked him, and he was the best person in the world.
However, due to the constant flow of people, Yu Qinghuan finally handed over the veiled hat, his throat choked with pain, "Young Master."
Mu Huaian took it with trembling hands, "Thank you."
He put on the veil hat on his head and covered his face with a veil, blocking most people's prying eyes. His tense body slowly relaxed.
Mu Huaian smiled at Yu Qinghuan and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."
Perhaps he was feeling a little uncomfortable and breathless just now, but when Yu Qinghuan appeared, all those gazes and discussions seemed to disappear, and he could only see Yu Qinghuan.
Yu Qinghuan felt relieved.
Xie Zhiwen watched Yu Qinghuan walk towards his friend until his friend put on the veil hat on his head. He felt a strange feeling in his heart. He felt that Yu Qinghuan got angry and hit people not because of Yu Zhilan, but because of Mu Huaian.
He suddenly remembered that during the year he was away, Yu Qinghuan was sent to live in a manor outside the capital, and his good friend Mu Huaian lived in the manor next door.
He also thought that when he went to the manor to pick up Yu Qinghuan that day, Yu Qinghuan was not at the manor. Where did she come back from?
Why did my friend appear at that time so coincidentally, and how did he know about my return?
Is it possible that between them...
But as soon as this thought came to his mind, Xie Zhiwen rejected it himself!
This is absolutely impossible. How could Yu Qinghuan's feelings for me be fake?
What's more, Mu Huaian has been his best friend for more than ten years. His character is well known throughout the capital. It is impossible for him to be thinking about his best friend's wife!
There is absolutely no way these two people could be dirty.
Xie Zhiwen secretly cursed himself in his heart. How could he speculate about them like that? He was really an idiot.
On the balcony, Xiao Jinghe watched this scene and suddenly clenched the railing of the balcony. Before at the manor, he thought that these two were just ordinary friends, but now seeing that Yu Qinghuan didn't even care about Xie Zhiwen behind him, he knew that it was not that simple.
He is not stupid. It is impossible for Yu Qinghuan to rush down just to slap the second Miss Yu. It is obvious that she is worried about Mu Huaian. She is even considerate enough to let the maid beside her go and get the veil first.
Xiao Jinghe's eyes were filled with coldness.
Yesterday when she was in the corridor, she heard someone coming and kicked herself to get away.
At this moment, she was in front of so many people, eagerly handing someone a veil... Oh, what a good wife of the Marquis of Ningyuan, what a good Mu Huaian.
Everyone says that Cheng Gongjin is an upright gentleman, but the nephew he has taught is just a villain who is obsessed with his friend's wife.
Xiao Jinghe sneered.
At the same time, on the other side of the balcony, a man in a red robe stood in front of the window. He was tall and slender, and looked to be in his thirties. His eyes, as if he had seen through all the human nature, looked indifferently at everything happening downstairs.
It wasn't until he saw Mu Huaian put on the veil hat that he spoke, his tone neither happy nor sad: "Whose wife is talking to the young master?"
The attendant behind him leaned out to look, "My Lord, that should be the wife of the Marquis of Ningyuan."
The man looked twice, then turned from Mu Huaian to Ningyuan Hou, then stayed on Xie Zhili for a moment, and finally fell back on Ningyuan Hou's wife, and finally withdrew his gaze.
It is rare to see three people fighting together.
The man picked up the folding fan on the table, stood up and left.
Downstairs, Yu Qinghuan was concerned about the large crowd and didn't stay in front of Mu Huaian for long. He took two steps back and said to Xie Zhiwen behind him, "Go back."
Xie Zhiwen nodded and stepped forward. Even though he had already dismissed his previous speculation, he still couldn't help but put his arm around Yu Qinghuan's shoulders, silently declaring his sovereignty.
He just thought that Yu Qinghuan cared about him and took care of his friend, "Ah Huan, you've worked hard."
Yu Qinghuan felt a little guilty and shook his head.
Mu Huaian saw the hand on Yu Qinghuan's shoulder through the veil. His fingertips trembled slightly, and a rare envy flashed in his eyes. If only he could walk with Yu Qinghuan like Xie Zhiwen, put his arm around her shoulders, and whisper to her intimately in front of everyone...
Xie Zhiwen hugged Yu Qinghuan and said to Mu Huaian behind him, "Huaian, since you blame me today, why don't you come to my place to rest and stay overnight?"
Thinking that his friend probably didn't want to go home, he suggested that he stay overnight at his house. He remembered that before he got married, they often talked by candlelight at night, and slept on the same couch when they were tired.
We can have a good chat tonight.
Mu Huaian nodded in agreement, his eyes swept over Yu Qinghuan who was tightly hugged by Xie Zhiwen, and a bitter feeling surged in his heart.
Xie Zhili followed with a cold look, and when he reached Mu Huaian, he said in a cold voice: "Remember to wash the veil and return it. This is a gift from me to her."
Mu Huaian glanced at him, knowing that he was upset, and inexplicably felt better. "I know."
...
The carriage drove to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. Yu Qinghuan returned to the backyard and went into the house. She changed her clothes and put on Sang Ru's clothes. "I'm going out for a while. Please watch the house for me for a while and don't let anyone in."
Sang Rulian didn't even have time to say a word of advice. He looked at his wife's receding figure and shook his head. What a sin!
Yu Qinghuan left the yard and headed towards the courtyard where guests usually stayed overnight. Seeing someone delivering clothes, she knew which room Mu Huaian was staying in.
After the servant who brought the clothes left, she went around to the back, quietly opened the window, and climbed in with great effort...
Unexpectedly, as soon as she landed on the ground and looked up, she saw Mu Huaian, with his inner shirt half taken off, staring at her in a daze.
Yu Qinghuan was also stunned and swallowed. The words Mu Huaian once said rang in his ears...The face is mutilated, but the muscles and bones are intact.
