Chapter 9 Chao Xian: That's it? You're so kind!
After Mu Ziyan left.
Chao Xian inquired about Mu Qianyu and Elder's dietary restrictions, changed his clothes, found a restaurant, and then drove the two of them there.
On the way, Mu Qianyu was very concerned about the relationship between Chao Xian and Mu Yunzhou.
“Brother-in-law, don’t you really think Yunzhou is boring? Among our generation, Yunzhou is the least likely to fall in love with anyone, but unexpectedly, he became the first person in our generation to get married without making a sound.”
As Mu Qianyu spoke, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Chao Xian dared not say that her marriage to Mu Yunzhou was a marriage of convenience.
He just listened silently as Mu Qianyu recounted the embarrassing stories of Mu Yunzhou's childhood.
They didn't even dare to speak.
"Is Elder your boyfriend?" Upon arriving at the restaurant, Chao Xian glanced at the man who had been following Mu Qianyu and couldn't help but ask Mu Qianyu softly.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qianyu glanced at Elder, who was obediently closing the car door beside her.
Mu Qianyu's smile faltered slightly, then she nodded.
Chao Xian nodded: "Are you back to meet the parents?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Qianyu sighed: "Elder is the heir to a rival company abroad. Getting the Mu family's approval won't be easy, but Yunzhou said he'll put in a good word for him!"
Mu Qianyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she mentioned Mu Yunzhou.
Chao Xian asked curiously, "Are the Mu family members really that fierce?"
Mu Qianyu then remembered that Chao Xian had never been to the Mu family, so he naturally didn't need to deal with so many people.
"They're not fierce, they're just very rigid, but if they saw you, they would definitely like you."
After all, she was the precious one who pulled her brother back from the brink of becoming a monk!
Mu Qianyu was absolutely certain.
But Chao Xian didn't think so. He hadn't visited anyone since they got married, just so that people wouldn't think he was impolite.
Chao Xian only thought about it in his heart and didn't say it out loud.
Elder simply listened to their conversation without saying a word, and even offered to pay the bill after the meal.
Looking at him, Chao Xian thought Elder seemed pretty good.
At least when Chao Xian saw it, Elder's emerald eyes never left Mu Qianyu.
Before transmigrating into the book, Chao Xian had seen such an expression before, a focused expression filled with deep affection.
After finishing his meal, Chao Xian planned to go grocery shopping, and then he intended to take the two of them home first.
Mu Qianyu, however, wanted to go with Chao Xian.
Anyway, it'll be boring going back.
It's better to wander around more.
Mu Qianyu had not returned to China for many years and felt unfamiliar with many of the changes in the country.
In addition, there was a human-shaped bag carrier behind them, so Mu Qianyu bought a lot of snacks at the supermarket.
If it weren't for Chao Xian having to go back to prepare lunch, Mu Qianyu would have liked to drag Chao Xian shopping for clothes together.
Elder followed behind the two, carrying large and small bags, and only put them down completely when they reached the car.
I'm so tired, but I don't dare say it.
Elder quietly rubbed his hands, which were red from being bound.
This is much harder than any job.
As soon as Mu Qianyu got home, she rushed straight to her room.
The temperament of Mu Qianyu was very different from that of the first time Chao Xian met her.
When Mu Qianyu came down again, she went directly to Chao Xian and handed him the gift box.
"I saw this at an auction before, and I think you would like it."
Mu Qianyu gestured for Chao Xian to open the box.
Chao Xian was somewhat puzzled as to what good things were inside.
Then I opened it and took a look.
All I could see inside was a set of blue jewelry, the design of which was clearly men's.
Chao Xian looked on with surprise, feeling that what Mu Qianyu had given him was far too valuable.
Before he could speak, he heard Mu Qianyu say softly, "You and Yunzhou didn't have a big wedding, so I didn't go back to China and didn't give you any gifts. Consider this my belated greeting gift. The wedding gift was a car, which is still going through customs."
Mu Qianyu was very generous.
Chao Xian's gaze towards Mu Qianyu softened considerably in an instant.
Boss, this one's the boss too!
Just by looking at the luster, you can tell this jewelry set is very expensive.
Not to mention that the entire set of jewelry has extremely high collectible value.
Chao Xian looked at Mu Qianyu in front of him and waved his hand, "Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you!"
When Mu Ziyan returned, he saw Mu Qianyu chatting with her stepmother in the kitchen. Both of them seemed to be in good moods.
Only Elder was kept outside and not allowed to enter.
The man was scrolling through his phone outside, looking somewhat anxious.
It seemed as if they were making an important decision.
When Elder saw Mu Ziyan return, he waved to her for help, then asked softly in his slightly fluent Chinese, "Um, do you know what your stepmother likes?"
A huge question mark appeared above Mu Ziyan's head.
"Why are you asking this?" Mu Ziyan thought the person in front of him was trying to poach Mu Yunzhou's girlfriend, and his wary gaze fell on Elder.
Elder scratched his golden hair, then pulled his hand back and saw the strands of hair falling out of his hand from worry. He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on: "According to custom, as Qianyu's boyfriend, I should also give her a gift when we meet."
Elder hesitated, "Wouldn't it be a bit too vulgar to just give them money directly?"
Mu Ziyan thought about how Chao Xian usually made him split the bill.
Mu Ziyan said in a serious tone, "No, he likes money."
Who doesn't like money?
Mu Ziyan's affirmative tone instantly put Elder at ease.
He secretly asked Mu Ziyan for Chao Xian's bank card number.
Then the gift was handed over.
Upon hearing the news, Chao Xian, who was cooking in the kitchen, took out his phone to check it.
He then looked at Mu Qianyu with some surprise: "Why is Elder transferring money to me?"
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... hundreds of thousands! millions! hundreds of millions!"
Holy crap! Is this some new type of scam?
Even if I sold all my current wealth, I still couldn't pay it back!
These people gave him a gift because he and Mu Yunzhou were a married couple, but in reality, he and Mu Yunzhou were not a real married couple at all.
Once their relationship is exposed, they'll have to pay for all of this eventually.
When Mu Yunzhou returns, he will ask Mu Yunzhou how to handle the situation.
We can just transfer it to Mu Yunzhou then.
Chao Xian thought to himself.
I couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
However, Mu Qianyu was not surprised and said with a smile, "Since it's for you, just accept it. Elder is indeed very thoughtful, otherwise I wouldn't have married him."
When Mu Qianyu said those words, Chao Xian felt something was amiss.
I just didn't think about it too deeply.
At the dinner table, Mu Ziyan finished eating, put down her chopsticks, and glanced at her cousin and future cousin-in-law next to her.
He sat up straight and began to instruct them, as if giving a stern warning: "At home, you are not allowed to go near the kitchen, nor are you allowed to smoke or drink alcohol. When you go out, you are not allowed to drive, burn down the house, or commit murder for money..."
Seeing that Mu Ziyan's words were getting more and more outrageous, Chao Xian reached out and smacked Mu Ziyan on the head: "You have no manners."
Mu Ziyan looked at Chao Xian with some shock: "I'm doing this for your own good!"
If there's another natural gas leak, they're all doomed!
Mu Qianyu felt very guilty and quickly assured him, "Don't worry, Ziyan, I will never try to cook again. Besides, if I did that kind of thing, I think your dad would hunt me down."
Hearing Mu Qianyu and Elder's repeated assurances.
Mu Ziyan then began to tidy up, washed the dishes, and left to return to school to prepare for her afternoon classes.
Mu Qianyu looked at Mu Ziyan's considerate manner.
Thinking back to when Mu Ziyan first came to the Mu family, and glancing at Chao Xian as if he had long been used to it.
“It was only when you were at home that Ziyan came back to life. You know, when he first came to the Mu family, he was absolutely not supposed to speak, but he just said such a long sentence.”
Mu Qianyu spoke in a somewhat exaggerated manner.
However, he looked somewhat moved.
"I think this is the first time I've ever heard him say something so long?" Chao Xian thought for a moment, then said this.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Mu Ziyan about to leave. Chao Xian was leaning back on the sofa, his gray hair falling on the back of the sofa. The sunlight from the French windows shone on his face, making Chao Xian look particularly lazy.
"I want to drink grape-flavored fruit tea tonight. Can you bring me a cup after school from the milk tea shop? I want it with full sugar and less ice."
Mu Ziyan put on her shoes in the entryway and turned around to see Chao Xian, who was sitting on the sofa with great interest: "Room temperature full sugar, okay."
Chao Xian stared at Mu Ziyan with a wronged expression, then snorted coldly and remained silent.
I'm speechless, the servants have rebelled!
After Mu Ziyan left, Chao Xian turned to look at Mu Qianyu sitting on another sofa: "Mu Ziyan just doesn't like to talk. He's actually fine once he gets to know people."
Mu Qianyu just listened to those words. Mu Ziyan treated most of the Mu family as if they didn't exist, and only showed some reaction in front of Mu Yunzhou.
Even Mu Yunzhou couldn't let Mu Ziyan bring him milk tea or anything like that.
It can only be said that Mu Ziyan truly approves of Chao Xian, which is why he takes Chao Xian's words to heart.
"Even though we only spent a morning together, I've already developed a bit of a crush on you. It's a pity that Yunzhou tricked me out of it. Otherwise, I would have introduced you to a few rich and handsome guys. Yunzhou is too old, and all he does all day is work. He must be so boring..."
Seeing that Mu Qianyu seemed genuinely interested in playing matchmaker for her married husband, Chao Xian hurriedly moved to sit down beside her.
Mu Qianyu noticed Chao Xian's wariness and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Oh, I was just joking. But you have to be careful when choosing a man, or you'll end up like me, suffering a loss in silence."
Mu Qianyu felt annoyed whenever she thought about that incident.
Chao Xian is more innocent and simple-minded, and Mu Qianyu doesn't want him to get hurt.
Chao Xian realized that there must be some gossip involved.
Curious gazes instantly fell on Mu Qianyu.
Elder, who was standing next to him, looked rather unpleasant when he heard the topic turn to this.
Looks like there really is some big news?
"The Mu family and the Jian family are old friends. Jian Huai from the Jian family and I were childhood sweethearts and had a marriage agreement since childhood. However, I later focused more on my development abroad, so I went abroad to take over the company and started a cross-border romance."
Mu Qianyu noticed Chao Xian's curiosity, but casually whispered about it. After all, it wasn't her fault, so why couldn't she say it?
“A year ago, I secretly returned to China to surprise him and found out that he had a body double who looked a third of me. All his friends and I knew about it, but no one told me except me.”
Chao Xian was stunned when he heard this.
no……
Chao Xian finally remembered that he had transmigrated into the protagonist of this book!
Isn't it just Jian Huai and his stand-in girlfriend?
No, I originally thought only Mu Yunzhou's family was cannon fodder.
Now it seems the Mu family is the real den of cannon fodder, isn't it?
"So I broke up with him."
Mu Qianyu ended softly.
Chao Xian raised an eyebrow: "That's it?"
A peaceful breakup?
That's too kind!
