Chapter 151 It’s Time to Avoid Suspicion
Yu Qinghuan had never seen Mu Huaian like this before. He looked like he was obviously feeling upset, but he was restraining himself and forbearing it, not wanting to embarrass himself.
What a caring and gentle man he is. Even though he is in such pain, he is still thinking about her and Xie Zhiwen.
Without caring whether Xie Zhiwen would see it, Yu Qinghuan reached out and held Mu Huaian's hand, "I'm so happy, how could I be embarrassed?"
Seeing her putting him first, even before Xie Zhiwen, the bitterness in Mu Huaian's heart finally faded a little, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, "Then I'll take you home."
Yu Qinghuan couldn't bear to refuse, so she nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Sang Rushi really didn't expect to see such a scene tonight. Even a gentle young master like him would be jealous and intentionally steal her girl's attention away from the marquis.
Although she didn't like the Marquis now, she had to admit that he was really miserable. If he hadn't been there, her daughter would never have been able to marry a good man like the young master.
Even today, because I came to pick up the Marquis, I was able to see the young master whom I hadn't seen for a few days.
If he knew about this in the future, he would probably be even angrier than he was on Mount Jiuchong. I wonder if he would even faint from anger?
...
The waiter in Xifeng Tower helped the person into the carriage. Yu Qinghuan was about to follow in, but Mu Huaian held his hand.
There were people coming and going in front of the restaurant, and many of them were looking over here. After all, the carriages from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and the Dingguo Duke Mansion were really eye-catching.
The groom of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion stared with wide eyes, wondering what he had encountered again!
He was familiar with the masked man; he was the young master of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. But why was this young master holding his wife's hand, looking so affectionate...
After the last time he ran into the lady and the second master in the carriage, he was once again so nervous that his heart almost jumped out. The Marquis was drunk, not dead.
Mu Huaian was seen holding Yu Qinghuan's hand, his voice lower than usual, "Since you are ready to leave the Marquis' Mansion, you should avoid suspicion. Let's get on my carriage and go back."
When he said this, his Adam's apple rolled twice, but the ending of his voice revealed a slight tremor, as if he was afraid of being rejected by Yu Qinghuan.
But it was rare for Mu Huaian to be so proactive, and Yu Qinghuan was reluctant to refuse. Without waiting for him to speak again, she nodded and let him pull her into the carriage of the Duke's Mansion.
Sang Ru was stunned. When did the young master become so shameless?
The carriage was also shocked. The young master did not let go of his hand for a moment.
He did not forget that this person had been a friend of his Lord Marquis for more than ten years... He immediately began to sympathize with the Lord Marquis, thinking that it would have been better if he had died outside a year ago.
In the carriage, Mu Huaian's breathing was a little heavy because of drinking. Yu Qinghuan took the initiative to untie the restraints on his face, feeling sorry for him having to wear such a mask every day.
Feeling the pain in her eyes, Mu Huaian knew that the more important he was in her heart, the more at ease he felt. However, he also regretted his actions just now. After all, there were outsiders around. "Did I cause you any trouble just now?"
Knowing that he was talking about the groom, Yu Qinghuan shook her head. The groom had seen her and Xie Zhili before. In terms of trouble, Xie Zhili was the one who got into it first.
What's more, this person is tight-lipped and has been given a lot of benefits, so he won't tell anyone about it.
"He hasn't agreed yet."
Hearing this, Mu Huaian's eyes darkened, but a smile of understanding hung on his lips, "No rush."
Yu Qinghuan told him about some of the things she had been busy with in the past few days. "I haven't told you yet, but my new house is on Xixiang Street. I'll move there once I'm done with it. Come and take a look then."
She wanted to tell others about meeting Cheng Gongjin in the house next door today, but then she thought, what if that person doesn't even want others to know about this? If she told others, would it cause trouble?
After thinking about it, she still didn't tell Mu Huaian about this. She only said that she built a swing in the yard and wanted to plant a tree in the yard, but she hadn't decided what kind of tree to plant yet.
"Huaian, what do you like?"
Mu Huaian looked at her with a smile in his eyes and said, "I like everything you like."
Yu Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat. She met his gaze, raised her fingertips to stroke his face, and slowly landed on his Adam's apple.
In the carriage, a faint smell of alcohol mixed with agarwood lingered between the two of them.
Mu Huaian's eyelashes trembled slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Yu Qinghuan pressed her fingertips against his lips. The tip of his ear quickly turned lightly red, like cinnabar smudged on rice paper, attracting her to lean closer. She held his burning earlobe in her mouth and chuckled, "I haven't seen it for a long time..."
Outside the carriage, the voices of people were bustling, and there were also the cries of vendors. Mu Huaian's restraint had reached its limit. He pinched Yu Qinghuan's waist and hugged her to sit on his lap. As he placed delicate kisses on her brow, his voice was drenched in drunkenness, and his breathing became heavier: "We're almost at Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion."
