43 Chapter 43

◎Fu Chen's state is different from usual. ◎

Shen Mu was distracted.

At this moment, a cold and low voice suddenly sounded beside him: "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Mu was startled, and turned around to find that Fu Chen had come to his side without knowing when.

He was so engrossed in thinking about something that he didn't even notice it.

Fu Chen stared at Shen Mu with his dark eyes.

Shen Mu tilted his head to look at him, and because of surprise, his thick eyelashes trembled several times.

The trembling eyelashes were like a small brush gently brushing across the heart, making people's hearts numb.

Fu Chen's eyes became deeper.

Shen Mu looked at Fu Chen for several seconds before he finally calmed down.

At the same time, his brain started to work.

Since Fu Chen has come to ask me, should I take the opportunity to speak out my doubts? The sooner you speak, the sooner you will be prepared, so that you won't be in a difficult situation when things really happen.

Thinking of this, Shen Mu said carefully: "By the way, Mr. Fu, I want to ask you something about our agreement."

Fu Chen didn't expect that Shen Mu had been thinking about this for so long just now. He nodded slightly: "Well, you ask."

Shen Mu thought for a while and said: "Doesn't the agreement say that if Party A, that is, you, wants to interrupt the agreement, you can interrupt it at any time? Then if you chase me away at that time..." Will you give me some compensation?

But before Shen Mu could finish his question, Fu Chen interrupted him: "I'm not chasing you away."

Shen Mu was stunned. He didn't expect Fu Chen to say that suddenly, but he continued: "I mean if something happens, you..."

Fu Chen interrupted him again: "Do you want to leave?"

After saying that, he stared at Shen Mu with his dark eyes, as if observing his reaction.

Shen Mu felt that this conversation was different from what he expected, mainly because Fu Chen's reaction did not seem to be within the normal range.

He was a little confused about the situation, but he still answered Fu Chen; "I don't want to leave, I mean if something happens in the future, or someone is in this situation..."

Fu Chen was obviously not so enthusiastic about discussing these things, and directly announced: "Don't think too much."

Shen Mu: "..."

He was preparing for a rainy day, so that he wouldn't be in a hurry when Fu Chen's white moonlight really came back.

Especially when it comes to money, it would be a loss if it gets messed up.

But Shen Mu was still quite sensible. Seeing that Fu Chen didn't want to talk about these things now, he didn't force it.

After all, he was the second party in this agreement. How could the second party have so much say?

At this time, it was Fu Chen's turn to ask: "Why do you suddenly think about this?"

Shen Mu certainly didn't want to mention Fu Chen's white moonlight. After all, as long as he brought it up, no matter what his tone and expression were, it would give people a feeling of jealousy.

However, Shen Mu didn't mean to be jealous at all, so he simply didn't mention it; "Nothing, I just suddenly thought of the agreement."

Fu Chen stared at him: "Are you not living well here?"

Shen Mu quickly said: "It's pretty good."

This is a fact. He lives in the manor every day and lives the way he wants. When he is bored, he can still play with the little cubs. Life is particularly beautiful, so there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Fu Chen made a conclusion: "Then don't think about it."

Shen Mu: "???"

He was thinking about it? ?

Didn't the agreement between them exist objectively? Why did he start to have wild thoughts when he just mentioned it casually? ?

Shen Mu felt that Fu Chen was weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

After the conversation between the two ended, Fu Chen went out.

Shen Mu felt a little regretful.

He had wanted to sort out the compensation issue in the future, but he failed.

Forget it, let's talk about it later.

After all, according to Fu Chen's generosity in giving him 50 million every year, he shouldn't be shortchanged by then.

Fu Chen went out, and then drove a Ferrari alone to a high-end club.

In a high-end private room, there was already a life of decadence and debauchery.

Fu Chen opened the door.

Almost the moment he appeared at the door of the private room, the noisy room immediately became quiet as if the pause button had been pressed.

Fu Chen had his back to the light from the corridor outside. This backlighting made his entire expression shrouded in darkness, making him look even more unfathomable and frightening.

The people inside sobered up a little and then began to compliment him.

"Mr. Fu is here."

"Mr. Fu, it's really not easy to meet you."

"Mr. Fu, please come in."

"..."

Duan Yang walked through the crowd with a glass of wine in his hand and said to Fu Chen: "Hey, isn't this our busy Mr. Fu? I thought you wouldn't come today."

Fu Chen has actually been back to China for a while, but Duan Yang has been clamoring to hold a welcoming banquet for him, and the time is set for tonight.

The people present are all the most powerful and influential rich second-generations in the circle.

However, when Duan Yang contacted Fu Chen, Fu Chen clearly refused. He has never liked such noisy occasions and rarely participates in them.

But I don't know how, Fu Chen, who originally refused, is here again.

Of course, as long as Fu Chen shows up, it will be fine.

Duan Yang welcomed Fu Chen in, and all the young men and rich girls inside also stood up to welcome Fu Chen.

Fu Chen was the top one in the circle of wealthy families, and no one dared to disrespect him.

There was a main seat in the box, which had been vacant, and it was obviously reserved for Fu Chen.

At this moment, Fu Chen sat in the main seat.

Duan Yang sat next to him.

The rest of the people also sat down one after another.

The lighting in the box was a little dim, but the different colors of light created a feeling of feasting and revelry, which could easily trigger people's deep desires.

In the main seat, even though Fu Chen came, he didn't have any emotions. He casually took a glass of whiskey poured for him by someone else and shook it slowly in his hand.

The ice cubes in the glass collided with each other while shaking, making a series of crisp sounds, just like an uneasy heart.

Fu Chen sat on the wide leather chair, lowered his eyes, looking at the shaking whiskey, and no one knew what he was thinking.

His aura was calm and cold, which affected the people around him, and everyone couldn't help but breathe lighter.

Duan Yang was naturally passionate by nature. He couldn't stand this quiet atmosphere at all and actively started a conversation: "Tell me, didn't you say you couldn't come? Why are you here again? What happened?"

Fu Chen finally spoke and replied coldly: "Nothing." After all,

Duan Yang and Fu Chen have been brothers for more than 20 years and he knows Fu Chen a little bit. Although Fu Chen still has an expressionless look on his face at this moment, he always feels that things should not be as simple as they seem.

He racked his brains and thought about it, then asked Fu Chen: "Did something happen at work? No, your work ability is so strong, what can go wrong? Besides, when hundreds of millions of dollars were invested in a project, you never blinked, you wouldn't be bothered by work."

Soon, he continued: "If it's not about work, then it should be about life. If it's about life... Could it be Shen Mu? What happened between you and Shen Mu? ! ! Did you have a fight? Are you having a quarrel??"

Fu Chen raised his eyelids and glanced at Duan Yang coldly.

Duan Yang was so excited that his voice almost broke: "What do you think I mean? Am I right?!!! Are you really having a quarrel??"

Fu Chen ignored Duan Yang, took a sip of the whiskey, then put down the glass and stood up.

Duan Yang called him quickly: "Hey, hey, hey, didn't you just come? Are you leaving now?"

Fu Chen said coldly: "Have fun, and put the expenses on my account."

After that, he strode away.

After Fu Chen came, he left again in less than five minutes.

This is not like what Fu Chen would do in the past. After all, Fu Chen is an extremely self-disciplined and rational person. He either doesn't come, or he will achieve a certain goal when he comes.

As a result, he came for five minutes tonight, did nothing, just took a sip of wine and left. This is too inconsistent with Fu Chen's style.

Duan Chen clicked his tongue.

There is a secret, there must be a shocking secret here! !

What can make Fu Chen upset?

At this time, a dandy boy in the box said: "No, why did our brother Fu find someone without any background, Shen Mu? I think he is not worthy of our brother Fu at all."

This dandy boy once wanted to send someone to Fu Chen, but failed.

Usually he didn't dare to say anything in front of Fu Chen, but now he secretly complained when Fu Chen left.

Duan Yang glanced at this dandy boy lightly: "Wang Xiang, don't say things that shouldn't be said, be careful not to get into trouble."

Shen Mu is a young man who hangs out in places of entertainment all day long, so how can he comment casually?

Wang Xiang was already drunk, and said fearlessly: "What can I do if I say a few words to Shen Mu? A person like him who came from the bottom and climbed up with his face, what kind of waves can he cause?"

"Bang--"

There was a sound of glass breaking.

Suddenly, several girls screamed in the box.

Duan Yang took back the bottle he had used to hit someone, and said with a sinister look: "Are you sober?"

Wang Xiang covered his bleeding head with his hands, looking terrified. Even if he had drunk more, he was sober now, and said hurriedly: "I'm awake, I'm awake!"

Duan Yang put away the bottle and hid the hostility in his eyes: "It's good that you're awake."

Soon, he returned to his usual romantic and suave look: "Don't mind, everyone, continue drinking."

Everyone raised their glasses in cooperation, but they were afraid in their hearts.

Duan Yang usually looks cynical and always speaks with a smile, which makes it easy for people to forget his true nature. In fact, he is also a ruthless person. If he doesn't take action, it's fine, but if he does, it's a big move. Otherwise, how could he become friends with Fu Chen?

At the same time, everyone also understood that in future gatherings, they would never dare to say anything bad about Shen Mu.

Otherwise, they would not know how they died.

Inside the villa.

Shen Mu was watching TV in the living room. He sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding the remote control in one hand and resting his head on the armrest of the sofa with the other hand. He

looked very comfortable and relaxed.

He had been watching TV for a while when he noticed that Fu Chen had returned.

Fu Chen's return seemed to have brought back the deep chill in the night, and even the temperature in the living room dropped a lot.

But Fu Chen had been out for not long, so why did he come back?

Shen Mu was a little confused, but he didn't care about it. Instead, he said, "By the way, Mr. Fu, Nuonuo and I are leaving tomorrow to shoot a program. We just received a notice from the program team to go to the airport tomorrow."

Fu Chen stopped and his expression changed a little. After a moment, he replied, "Yeah."

After a moment, Fu Chen raised his feet, but walked towards the sofa area.

Shen Mu was a little surprised. He thought Fu Chen would go upstairs to the study. After all, Fu Chen had always done this in the past.

But this time Fu Chen came to the sofa area.

Shen Mu thought, maybe Fu Chen was going to work here?

While thinking, he took the remote control and turned down the volume of the TV series.

But it was obvious that Fu Chen didn't come here to work.

He sat on the sofa, not too far from Shen Mu, and did nothing.

Shen Mu was a little confused, but he didn't care.

The two of them sat on the sofa together.

One watched TV.

He sat there without saying a word, without any emotion, and it was hard to tell what he was doing.

Shen Mu quickly thought of something. Did Fu Chen want to watch TV?

If that was the case, then it would not be good for him to keep monopolizing the remote control.

So Shen Mu took the initiative to hand over the remote control: "Whatever you want to watch, you can change the channel yourself."

Fu Chen didn't even look at the remote control, he looked at him and said, "No need."

Shen Mu nodded: "Oh, okay."

He silently took back the remote control.

After a few minutes, the servant brought two plates of fruit.

One was handed to Shen Mu and the other to Fu Chen.

Shen Mu smiled: "Thank you."

He happened to be a little thirsty now, so he took the plate, picked up the fork, picked up a piece of pineapple and put it in his mouth.

Fu Chen didn't eat the fruit.

Shen Mu was really curious now.

So Fu Chen neither watched TV nor ate fruit, then why was he sitting here with him?

Shen Mu thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it, and then ate the fruit happily while watching TV.

At this time, Fu Chen looked at Shen Mu.

Shen Mu was in a very relaxed state now, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, eating fruit slowly, with satisfaction in his eyes.

From Fu Chen's angle, he can see Shen Mu's soft black hair, delicate and moving profile, and then his thin and frail figure. Further down, he can see a section of his fair and shiny ankles exposed, which is almost dazzling...

Shen Mu looks thin and sickly at the moment, but maybe it's because he's eating fruit, but he seems to exude an alluring sweet fragrance from the inside out.

Shen Mu noticed Fu Chen looking at him out of the corner of his eye.

He turned his head away in some confusion.

Then, the two looked at each other.

Shen Mu vaguely felt that Fu Chen seemed to be in a bad mood tonight, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Fu Chen looked at Shen Mu with deep eyes, as if he was judging something, but he didn't know if he was judging Shen Mu or judging his own heart.

The two looked at each other silently.

Something invisible was floating in the air.

Shen Mu blinked lightly, his long eyelashes trembling.

Fu Chen's aura was strong enough in itself, and his eyes were deep at this moment, like a huge net covering the sky and the earth, making people have nowhere to escape.

Shen Mu felt that the current atmosphere was too strange, and was about to speak to break this atmosphere.

But at this time, little Fu Nonuo appeared.

As soon as he appeared, the inexplicable atmosphere was broken, and everything returned to normal.

Shen Mu felt relieved, shifted his gaze away from Fu Chen, and turned to look at Fu Nonuo.

Fu Nonuo was playing with toys upstairs just now, and accidentally pinched his finger. At this moment, he held up his little finger and came to find his little dad.

However, when he walked to the sofa area, he passed by Fu Chen first.

Fu Nonuo pouted his little mouth, and tears were swirling in his eyes.

Fu Chen glanced at his raised finger and found that the skin was not broken, but just a little red and swollen, so he said: "It's a small matter, don't cry." Fu

Chen was born with an aura of giving orders. Even though he didn't use a commanding tone when talking to Fu Nonuo at this moment, it made people shudder inexplicably.

Fu Nonuo looked at his father with a cold expression, and he forced himself to hold back the feeling of crying, but the tears in his eyes were still about to fall.

Next, Fu Nonuo carefully avoided his father's range, and then ran straight to his little dad, and then threw himself into his little dad's arms.

Shen Mu caught the aggrieved little baby, and then asked in a soft voice: "Baby, what's wrong?"

Fu Nonuo hid in his arms and raised the finger that was pinched by the toy.

At this moment, there was a red mark on his finger, but it didn't look like a big problem.

Shen Mu gently stroked his finger, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he comforted him; "It's okay, it's just a little red mark, Nonuo, don't cry, okay?"

Shen Mu and Fu Chen have completely different styles of doing things.

Take this incident for example, they both expressed the same meaning to Fu Nonuo, but Shen Mu's words were more tactful and his tone was gentler, which made people feel more at ease.

Fu Nonuo was finally no longer aggrieved and told Shen Mu what had just happened: "That toy is so annoying. It pinched me for no reason. I will never play with it again."

Shen Mu comforted him, "Okay, I won't play with it anymore. Do you want some fruit now?"

"Yes!" Fu Nonuo finally smiled again on his little face, and then opened his mouth wide.

Shen Mu smiled, picked up a piece of pear and put it in his mouth.

Fu Nonuo held the pear in his mouth and ate it with a crunch.

The father and son got along warmly and harmoniously.

Fu Chen watched for a few minutes and then said, "We're going to shoot a show tomorrow, be careful on the road."

Shen Mu was a little surprised when he was reminded, but soon he smiled and said, "Okay, got it."

No matter what, Fu Chen was concerned about them, so he couldn't help but respond.

Shen Mu's smile was bright and very clean, just like the clear sky after the rain, clean and bright, with dazzling sunshine, making people want to chase it.

Fu Chen just kept looking at Shen Mu for a long time before looking away.

Some things seem to change quietly without being noticed.

At first there may be only a little change, and slowly, there will be a majestic force like destroying withered trees and rotten wood...
