Quite awkward

Chapter 137 Brown Sugar Water

Qi Yu remained silent, lowered his eyes, and continued to fold the clothes in his hands, inevitably a little absent-minded.

When she proposed to end the relationship, she hoped that the two of them could completely cut off contact and no longer have any intersection.

But now things are out of her control and are developing in the opposite direction.

She stopped and glared at the man who was already asleep on the sofa.

He is the president of a group after all, but in private he acts like a scoundrel, and Qi Yu has no way to deal with him.

Not long after, Chen Yang delivered the luggage bag as requested. Qi Yu politely thanked him and the two chatted for a few more words at the door.

"Is Mr. Mu in there? I just have work to report."

Qi Yu opened the door and let Chen Yang see what was going on inside the house naturally.

"He fell asleep right after arriving. Do you want me to wake him up?"

In case there is an emergency at work, the two of them can leave here together.

Chen Yang saw President Mu sleeping soundly on the narrow sofa from afar, and he quickly waved his hand and said no.

"Mr. Mu worked overtime all night last night. Now he finally fell asleep, so I won't disturb him. It doesn't matter if I report to him later."

Qi Yu was stunned. She didn't expect that Mu Chenan hadn't slept all night and came directly from the company to her place in the morning to catch up on his sleep.

Did he consider this place as his temporary resting place?

Come when you want and you can’t drive them away.

After Chen Yang left, Qi Yu closed the door, picked up the luggage bag and returned to the living room. She packed all the folded clothes into the bag. After a while of busy work, it was already noon. She took out yogurt and bread from the refrigerator to snack on.

When she was eating seriously, Mu Chenan woke up and sat up from the sofa. After calming down a little, he got up and went into the bathroom as if he knew the way.

After a while, hearing the sound of footsteps, Qi Yu turned around and glanced at him casually.

The man's hair on his forehead was wet, and water droplets slid down his cheeks and gathered at his chin. The collar of his white vertical striped shirt was slightly open, and the cuffs were rolled up to his arms, giving him a somewhat suave look.

His dark eyes sparkled with clarity and brightness, and he looked refreshed, no longer as tired as he had been a few hours ago.

Mu Chenan lowered his eyes and stared at the white trace of yogurt on her lips. He then calmly sat down opposite her and asked casually, "Is that all you're going to eat?"

Qi Yu inadvertently raised her eyes and looked at him, seeming to sense the ambiguous heat in his eyes. She licked her lips and nodded softly.

"Why are you eating raw and cold food when you're on your period? Doesn't your stomach hurt today?"

Once before, Qi Yu suffered from dysmenorrhea during her period. Seeing her rolling around on the bed in pain, Mu Chenan almost sent her to the hospital for treatment, but she insisted on not going. So he made her a cup of brown sugar water as she requested, and her physical pain was gradually relieved.

"How do you know?" A hint of embarrassment appeared on Qi Yu's face.

Mu Chenan said disapprovingly: "I opened a package on the sink."

Half an hour ago, Qi Yu realized that her menstrual period had arrived quietly, so she quickly went to the bathroom to take care of it. She was used to being casual at home, and at this moment she was very upset that she had forgotten to put her things away.

“No big deal.”

"real?"

After Mu Chenan finished speaking, he touched the back of her slightly cool hand, moved it down, and put their palms together. Qi Yu wanted to pull her hand back, but his knuckles deliberately tightened a little.

“Let me go.”

He didn't let go, and suddenly asked her inexplicably and strangely: "Is my brother good to you?"

Qi Yu stopped struggling, her lips slightly opened in surprise.

Why did he ask that?

She pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then answered according to her heart: "Big brother has always been very good to me."

Mu Chenan stroked the delicate skin of her palm with his thumb, looked into her watery eyes, sighed softly, and called out her name word by word.

"Qi, Yu."

I really like you. Can we just write off everything that happened before and give us a chance to start over?

In the end, he still couldn't say this sentence, because he understood that there was an insurmountable hurdle in Qi Yu's heart, and the person she really cared about was not him.

I had just deliberately used Qi Yu's drunken nonsense to tease her, but in fact, I was just looking for a little comfort.

Mu Chenan let go of her hand, then stood up to boil water in a kettle, and asked her if she had any brown sugar, as if nothing had happened.

Qi Yu was about to say no, but before she could finish her words, she felt a sudden pain in her lower abdomen. She felt bad. If she had known, she wouldn't have drunk the ice yogurt. In this situation, she was probably going to be in pain for the rest of the day.

She exhaled lightly and told him that the brown sugar was in the wall cabinet.

Mu Chenan had done this once before, so this time he was very familiar with it. He brought the soaked brown sugar water to her and reminded her, "Be careful, it's hot. Let it cool for a while before drinking."

Qi Yu did not refuse his kindness. She put her hands on the cup, feeling the warmth from the warm brown sugar water gradually seeping into her palms.

She looked up and thanked him gratefully.

“Well, is there anything else you need to pack? I can help you.”

“Everything is almost packed and ready to be taken directly to the new house.”

Mu Chenan took out his cell phone and arranged for some people to come and move things, so Qi Yu didn't have to worry about anything anymore.

The brown sugar water gradually became drinkable temperature. Qi Yu took small sips and slowly drank the whole cup. She stood up to rinse the cup, and the water flowed through her fingers.

She suddenly remembered that Mu Chenan hadn't eaten yet. After putting the cup away, she turned around and asked, "Second brother, are you hungry? Should I order takeout for you?"

“What else is there at home?”

Until now, Muchenan had never considered this apartment as Qi Yu's home, but when she was about to move into the new house bought for her by her eldest brother, he reluctantly came to a reconciliation with himself.

Whether before or now, he had never thought about buying a house for Qi Yu. His villa was so big that it was completely enough for two people to live in. It was a pity that she didn't want to.

"I've finished my yogurt and have a few slices of toast left."

"Then I'll eat bread."

Mu Chenan was not that hungry, so he decided to eat something to fill his stomach. He sat on the chair that Qi Yu had just sat on. He was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Qi Yu, I'm going to take you out for a nice meal tonight. Don't refuse! Consider it my moving present to you."

He blocked her words and didn't give her any room to refuse.

The cup of brown sugar water that Mu Chenan had just made was still in Qi Yu's stomach. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopped herself, and finally swallowed the words of refusal.

She always knew in her heart that while she enjoyed the services he provided, he would inevitably ask her for something in return.

Although it was just a simple meal together, she always felt that there was not much change in their relationship from before.

Qi Yu felt depressed and hated herself for being too cowardly and incompetent to completely push him out of her life.
