LIFE

CHAPTER 101 - INTERESTING?

Thus, Lan Xi would never know that the two hours she had been waiting for him at the intersection, under the cover of night and with the cold that seeped into her bones … He was always nearby.

Separated by a green belt, the verdant pine and cypress covered up the inky black and silvery car very well. No matter what they did at the school gate, they wouldn't be able to tell that there was someone here.

As the night descended, Mu Yan Chen leaned on the window with one arm, supporting his forehead with the knuckles of his slender fingers that were slightly white. His handsome face was slightly pale, as though he was resting with his eyes closed.

It was a quiet night, and he could almost hear the cold ice on the roof of the car.

Yan Ran was finally overwhelmed by the silence and the cold. She gave him a cold glance and said, Can't you just raise the window? The car is still heating up, but it seems like it's not, we're going to run out soon.

Mu Yan Chen remained silent, not batting an eyelid.

Yan Can's face turned pale.

She naturally knew what Mu Yan Chen wanted to do, and what was his mood right now. Just by looking at her figure that was stubbornly waiting at the school gate, he already felt such a heartache that he didn't even want to say a word.

Yan Can's heart also felt as if it had been ruthlessly stabbed. Fresh blood flowed, and the pain was indescribable.

Tilting her head, she did her best to ease the pain in her chest. With a gentle smile, she asked in a hoarse voice, She's actually pretty, isn't she?

Such a young girl. Before she even learned how to put on makeup, she already had a natural beauty like sculpting. No wonder you liked her … Her slender fingers gripped the seat cover tightly, her fingers hurting from being pinched. What about other than beautiful? What else do you like about her?

Even if he closed his eyes and did not look, the image of that worried figure would still appear in his mind, piercing his eyes and piercing his heart.

With his handsome face turning increasingly pale, Mu Yan Chen was starting to find it unbearable for her.

Her ice-cold eyes slowly opened, bringing along a cold killing intent as they floated around the car window. In the end, they accurately landed on the slender figure rubbing her hands together. The light in her eyes slowly condensed, unable to move at all.

At this moment, he inexplicably recalled something.

It was as if he had never given her a promise before. He wasn't so certain that he would tell her, 'Lanxi, it doesn't matter if the people in the world don't like you. You won't be harmed in the slightest here.

Such a simple promise, he had yet to say.

... However, he was already unable to do so.

Even if he closed his eyes, he could feel his heart beating fast. There was only more excruciating pain as he was stabbed again and again. It was like he was suffocating as waves of pain flooded over him.

He suddenly remembered that night.

Inside the apartment on Christmas Eve, he embraced her from behind, calling her name softly, the faint smile she wore in his arms, the sly fingertips smearing thick orange juice on his face and neck, and he kissed her.

A sharp pain sealed his throat.

Yan Can finally quietened down, and calmly looked at the scene before her, feeling a chill in her heart. She waited until two hours later to see the slim figure knock on the school gate, requesting the manager on duty to open it for her. Separated by a window, the awakened caretaker stood up with a frown. He first scolded her for not abiding by the school's rules, and only when she was done with her training did he put on his coat and open the door for her.

And that was the end of the play.

She gently played with the ring on her finger. A trace of moisture appeared in her eyes as she gently pulled it out. She said faintly, Alright, we can leave now. She has gone back.

Her breath was as calm as water. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Mu Yan Chen start the car, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. She leaned over and whispered, So it was only two hours, she only waited two hours for you … Mu Yanchen, you don't have to be that heartbroken. Just now, I was watching over you and it was the same for you.

The only difference is that you love her, and you feel sorry for her.

And I love you, and I'm sorry.

Mu Yan Chen's handsome face turned pale. Just as she was about to start the car, she stopped and coldly looked at Mu Ru Yue with a gaze as sharp as a knife.

Yan Shan's face turned white, she felt a cold killing intent rushing up her spine!

Interesting? Mu Yanchen asked coldly.

Yan Can was suddenly at a loss for words!

Her face alternated between red and white as she clenched the bag tightly in her hands. With a trembling voice, she said, Of course it's interesting!

Mu Yan Chen, you can rest assured that I will keep my promise tonight. From now on, I won't use this matter to threaten you! But you remember — you remember! With hot tears in her eyes, she trembled, In the future, even if it wasn't me, Yan Ran, there would still be countless people who would stand out and tell you all how wicked you are! If you have the ability, you can always guard her like this. I, Yan Lun, will not marry anyone else in my life, but I want to see just how you two will live out your lives!

The mournful sound disturbed the reptiles in the night, causing the grass to shake slightly.

Mu Yancheng's face turned even paler as she coldly retracted her gaze and spat out a single word, Scram.

The lock opened, and he dismissed her.

It's just after midnight, in C City No.1 Middle School.

The bitterness in Yan Can's eyes was mixed with her tears as she was driven out of the car. She laughed in exasperation, grabbed the door handle, and continued in a trembling voice: You know better than I do, don't you? What does a 17-year-old girl know? How easy would it be? She was trapped by you when she was still the youngest. Do you know what she was like when she was 20 and 25? No, no... Who would she meet? How normal and beautiful would she be without you? She has to worry whether she can get married, have children, and live with someone forever?!

Placing his hand on the door handle, Mu Yan Chen's voice was cold and gentle, You can get off by yourself, or do you want me to drag you down?

A single burning tear fell down, and the shivering body of Yan Shan became even more intense, unable to stop.

She gazed at his angular profile with tears in her eyes as she faintly said, Old Man Mu's health is not good … If there were any accidents after knowing what happened to you, would you be able to live happily for the rest of your lives? And your mother, Mu Yan Chen, even if she doesn't have any feelings for you, she knows that you're with the daughter of someone who stole her happiness for decades. You two are siblings … Do you think she's mad? "

With a ka cha, the car door on the side opened and the cold air from the night rushed in.

Yan Shan shuddered!

She was able to react only when that extraordinary figure coldly got off the car. A wave of coldness and bitterness rose in her heart! She knew that even if she were to scram, she couldn't let him chase her out. She gritted her teeth as she opened the door. She got out of the car, took off her ring, and stuffed it into the gap between the seats.

You don't need to chase me away. She turned to look at him, laughing and crying. I'll go by myself.

Mu Yanchen, you must hate me right now, right?

As the frost slowly descended, Mu Yanchen walked out to find out that the late night frost was so thick that even standing there for a moment felt bone-chilling cold, so cold that it hurt. He was silent for a moment with his back to her, then spoke slowly.

Miss Yan. You think too much. A clear and cold voice came from his lips.

Even if it was hate, it had to be based on feelings.

And tonight, all the pain and sin he had to bear … It was not enough to support him in hating this strange woman.

That was just the price.

If he chose to be with her, he would have to bear one of the devastating costs.

Yan Can's face instantly turned white, her eyes trembling intensely, a trace of pain flashed across her eyes.

Being as smart as she was, how could she not understand what Mu Yan Chen meant!

Mu Yanchen … She couldn't help but call out to him in a trembling voice. She didn't think that he would instantly recover his calm after receiving so much provocation. This man's mental endurance had already surpassed her imagination.

Elegant and indifferent, Mu Yanchen turned around and opened the car door as he said in a low voice, Get in. I'll send you back.

The words she said were not without weight.

He needed to calm down before he was completely crushed by the pressure. He needed to calm down a little bit more – before he was forced into a dead end, before he was completely thrown into a mess, he would definitely dig out a bit of hope from the reality of his despair.

Sure.

CHAPTER 102 - WHAT A PROFOUND CITY

Don't sleep … Go take a shower before you go to sleep … Mu Yan Chen gently coaxed her, whispering in her ear, Lanxi …

Lan Xi's long eyelashes were wet with sweat. She subconsciously didn't want to let go of him, so she still tightly wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head in his neck. She was in a coma from the heat of the fire, but she still woke up after a long time and understood his meaning.

Her cheeks were very hot and her lips slightly parted. Mu Yan Chen lowered his head and gave a light peck and said hoarsely, I know … I won't go in. "

He wrapped the bedsheet tightly around her and hugged her. Then, he touched the forehead of the person in his embrace once again. It was still boiling hot.

With a frown on his forehead, Mu Yanchen decided to wait for her to take a shower before giving her a pill. If she continued sleeping for another two hours and her fever didn't subside, he would bring her to the hospital. This time, no matter how much she rejected, she wouldn't be delayed.

The temperature under his palm was scorching hot. Before Mu Yanchen picked her up, he stopped and gently pressed against her forehead to feel the scorching heat. His thick eyelashes closed as he felt a heart-wrenching pain crawling up his heart.

If he hadn't loved her, he wouldn't have known that the heartache he felt was actually like this.

Seeing her in pain, every second in her heart was painful. Perhaps catching a cold and fever was the simplest of illnesses and the lightest of torments, but it was simply impossible for her.

Even if she had the slightest bit of pain and grievance, it would still be infinitely magnified by him.

He did not allow her to feel sorry for him.

Her voice, soft and husky, coaxed her to carry her to the bathroom. During this period of time, he went in a bit worriedly, afraid that she would accidentally be drowned in the bathtub. The last time he went in, she was covered in foam and looked like she was about to fall asleep.

Knock knock knock!

After coaxing her to drink some medicine and lie down on the bed, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Mu Yan Chen's tall and straight body stiffened.

A ray of light shot out from his deep eyes. For a moment, he silently pondered about who would know the address of his apartment, but he didn't dare to make any wild guesses. He turned the air conditioner a few degrees higher, wrapped her in a quilt, and kissed her forehead.

Fortunately, she was not woken up.

Pulling on the bathrobe on his body, Mu Yan Chen gracefully and slowly stood up. His calm and indifferent aura spread out, and under the continuous knocking on the door, he became calm and collected. He then got up and left.

At the entrance, Mo Ruqing's face was slightly pale. She raised her hand to look at her watch, hesitating as to whether she should knock again.

After a short moment, she made up her mind that she couldn't come here for nothing. She lifted her hand and before she could knock on the door, it was already opened. Inside, Mu Yan Chen's figure slowly appeared.

Mo Ruqing widened her eyes.

Yan Chen, you … She was suddenly at a loss for words. She didn't know what to say. The scene in front of her shocked her, but she couldn't find any place to ask.

Aren't you supposed to be working at the company at this time of the year? Why are you here?! She finally found the point of inquiry.

Mu Yan Chen stared coldly at her for a long time. His gaze softened, but he still turned back to the living room indifferently. He poured a cup of water and said with a deep, magnetic voice, ... The door closed.

The shocked aura was still flowing around Mo Ruqing's chest, so she walked in hesitantly.

When she reached the shoe cabinet, she stopped again.

There were several pairs of women's slippers on the shoe cabinet. They were very small in size.

Mo Ruqing felt her temples throbbing. Her beautiful face turned pale, but she smiled as she raised her eyes and said, I was wondering why you often don't come home. So you were hiding your charms in the Golden House. Did your mother come at the wrong time?

Mu Yan Chen's eyes were calm like water, and a chilling aura enveloped his entire body. With his back facing her, he picked up the cup of water and took a sip without saying a word.

— She was strange. This was his first time here, and even though he clearly knew that there shouldn't be anyone in his apartment at this time of day, he still inexplicably appeared in this place.

Seeing that he did not make a sound, Mo Ruqing also paled. She tried her best to suppress the wild heartbeat in her chest, soothing the fear in her nerves as she put on slippers and walked in. She slowly asked, Where's Ran?

She's not here.

Mu Yan Chen said indifferently as his thick eyelashes drooped. He poured another cup of water and passed it over to her.

Mo Ruqing stared blankly at her son. Embarrassed, she accepted the cup of water.

Yan Chen, you still haven't said it. Why didn't you go to the company today? She sat at the table smiling gently, asking him about his life like a mother.

Mu Yan Chen also walked over and sat down. He raised his eyes and asked, What about you?

Mo Ruqing was stunned.

Why did you suddenly think of coming here? His whole body radiated a cold and threatening aura. His deep eyes were fixed on her as he asked in a low voice.

Mo Ruqing froze for half a second before calming herself down. She smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, I just received a call from the class teacher of Lanxi Academy, she told me to come over when she's sick. I just happened to pass by and came to visit you. You see, even your girlfriend can come and go as she pleases

Where? As your mother, I can't come here?

Wrong.

Mu Yan Chen sat there quietly, thinking that Lan Xi's homeroom teacher shouldn't have said such words. She should have said that her brother had already taken him away, but she didn't know where he had actually gone to.

That was why Mo Ruqing came here.

You're looking for Lanxi? he asked lightly.

Mo Ruqing stared at him, shocked by the serenity in his eyes. She guessed that there were two situations, or she had simply misunderstood him, her son and his sister did not have any tricks up their sleeves, which was why he was so honest. The other reason was that he did not care and planned to fight to the death with her.

The situation after that really scared her to the point that she was covered in cold sweat!

Clutching the ice-cold cup, Mo Ruqing raised her eyes and maintained her smile, I'll go to her school again in a while. I'm not in a hurry, and she's with you. Where are you going to point her out to me?

Mu Yan Chen played with the cup for a bit before speaking in a low voice, Lanxi, she …

Enough! Mo Ruqing suddenly flew into a rage, Pa! He placed the cup on the table with a sound, his face alternating between red and white, and said hoarsely, I'll say it again, I'm not looking for her. Why am I looking for her? I'm here to see you, shut your mouth tight and don't say anything!

She was crazy.

He was on the verge of going insane.

She knew her son well. Every time he showed such a cold and calm expression, it meant that he had already made his decision. Her words could never affect him in the slightest, and his stubbornness would even frighten her as a mother!

Alright, I've had enough. Mo Ruqing's face turned pale, her eyes flickered intensely, releasing the cup of water, and said with a trembling voice, I'll be going back immediately. You stay by yourself, take care of your own life, don't worry about mom, you're fine and I don't have to worry about anything, that's all.

She packed her things and left.

Mom … Mu Yanchen, who was sitting on a chair, lifted his head and called out.

Mo Ruqing frowned as she was about to collapse from his shout. She had already changed her shoes, but now she did not care about dirtying his room. She stepped on her high heels and walked in to look at him.

Have you ever wondered if you were the son of your father, Mu Mingsheng?

Mu Yan Chen frowned.

Yan Chen, let me tell you — — Mo Ruqing pressed down on his shoulder to stop him from getting up. Her scarlet eyes suppressed the pain as well as the tears flowing from her eyes as she said, It doesn't matter even if you suspect it. Mom can tell you now. But let me tell you, mom has been waiting for this man for dozens of years. She hasn't betrayed him and she hasn't cheated. What kind of person do you think your mother is?!

In the end, the sharp voice broke the silence of the apartment.

Closing his eyes, Mu Yan Chen could not bear the inexplicable feeling of guilt. After all, she was his mother, so being suspected like this in front of him was the most painful thing to do.

Letting out a breath, his handsome figure stood up and pulled her over to lean on his shoulder. Mu Yan Chen's eyes were calm and indifferent as he gently patted her back, Alright, I understand … Mom, I'm sorry. "

After a long while, he forced himself to calm down and wiped the tears off his face. He looked at his son with red eyes and said with a hoarse voice, Mom is not that weak, I already knew that you were suspicious of this matter but I did not tell you about it. I can at least remind you of what you should and should not do!

She did not forget her purpose for coming today. When she said the last sentence, someone as smart as her should also understand it.

A sharp, bloodthirsty light flashed across Mu Yan Chen's deep eyes like an arrow.

He suddenly understood what Mo Ruqing meant.

She was such a smart woman. From the very beginning, she had already noticed his indifference and calmness. She knew that he wanted to lay his cards on the table against her. Thus, what she had said just now was merely to gain the upper hand.

What blood test? What DNA? It was just a smokescreen. It made him feel guilty at first, so no matter what she said later, he would have to agree and not refute her.

Just like now.

How was he going to tell her about Lantern?

Even if he wanted to fight to the death, Mo Ruqing would not give him such an opportunity.

... Such shrewdness!

CHAPTER 103 - I WANT TO EAT YOU?

Mu Yan Chen's deep eyes were filled with radiance as he stared deeply at her. His gaze was ice-cold for a long time.

Mo Ruqing wiped off her tears, her eyes were as calm as water, Alright, you can rest. I'll be leaving now.

With that, Mo Ruqing turned around and walked out. After two clicks from her high heels, her slightly red and swollen eyes glanced at the bedroom door which he had opened a little more than half. She could vaguely see a slightly bulging figure on his bed. A trace of scarlet heavily struck his eyes. Mo Ruqing suppressed her chaotic breathing as she looked back. The light in her eyes flickered intensely as she paused in her steps. She then wrapped her bag around her shoulders and quickly walked out.

If you want to go to school to find her — A deep, magnetic voice came slowly. It was as calm as water and cold.

That's not necessary.

Mu Yan Chen slowly said from behind her.

Mo Ruqing's hand, which was holding the door handle, trembled violently as she forcefully suppressed the surging waves in her chest.

She took a light breath and looked back. After a bitter smile, she said, How can I do that? When the school called me, they called me Mrs. Mu, so no matter in name or kinship, I'm still her mother!

Glimmers danced in her eyes. Mo Ruqing's expression became gentle as she slowly said, Speaking of which, mother was wrong. After marrying into our sect, I had neglected you too much, especially Lanxi. Thus, Yan Chen, it's good that you're busy with your own matters in the future. I'll take care of that child Lan Xi, it's not impossible for you to take care of her at home … it's just that when you're outside, remember to be careful and avoid being perverted."

Since the Mu family was located in C City, even if it wasn't some famous family, the foundation built up by the Shang and Zheng families over the past hundred years was unshakable.

Avoiding suspicion.

As Mu Yan Chen heard the emphasis in her words, her brows twitched!

He remembered that she had said the same thing.

In that forbidden place of the Mu family, her sweet and light smile still surfaced in her mind. They had done the most unforgivable things crazily in that place called home, but now they had to avoid suspicion from both inside and outside.

It was tricky, it reminded him everywhere that he couldn't touch her.

Lowering his eyes, Mu Yan Chen was covered in a chilling aura as he sat at the table without uttering a single word.

After Mo Ruqing said that, she immediately opened the door and walked out, not giving him a chance to speak again. The cold wind outside gave him a headache, she held her forehead, trying her best to ignore the figure in his bedroom.

Even though she knew, that teacher had clearly told her that Mu Yanchen had taken away Lanxi! It wasn't impossible for him to bring her back here to recuperate! But when a man and woman were alone in a room, it was inevitable that Mo Ruqing would think back to that night at the Mu family. He gently bit her lips and affectionately kissed it. How was that something a biological brother should do to his younger sister?!

He got into the car and instructed the driver to drive straight back to the Mu family.

Closing her eyes, she couldn't help but think of what happened more than 20 years ago. At that time, she had brought the young Mu Yanchen to the Mu family, and even if she had a child, she still wouldn't be acknowledged by Old Master Mu. If she didn't hide in time, they would have been beaten to death at the Mu residence!

Later … Afterwards, she was forced to do everything she could to send her children out of the country. On the day of Mu Ming's wedding, she could only watch as that woman stood by Mu Mingsheng's side with a gentle and light smile, watching as their marriage was linked.

She knew she shouldn't care about the past.

But over 20 years had passed, and that girl called Lanxi's face revealed even more of the enchanting beauty that belonged to her mother. And she watched as her own son protected her, spoiled her, and cherished her for no reason!

This kind of mood could not be relieved even if one were to scratch the liver and scratch the lungs.

The sharp nails dug into his forehead, and only when Mo Ruqing felt the pain, did she suddenly regain her senses. She opened her eyes, which were already wet with tears, and looked out the window. The iciness and sharpness in her eyes revealed at this moment!

She waited until nightfall, when the room began to grow dim, and then her fever began to subside.

After tucking her in, he took the cold towel out to the bathroom to change. Just as he entered the bathroom, he heard a rustling sound outside. Mu Yan frowned, threw away the towel, and walked outside in an extraordinary manner.

There was no light in the room, so a soft figure touched the door and walked out. It seemed to have just woken up, but it was still a little blurry, and its steps were a little soft.

Mu Yan Chen's heart tightened!

Holding his breath, he whispered, I'm here, drawing her attention to him. Then he walked over, took her small hand from the door and squeezed it tightly, pulled her around his neck, and then bent over to her breathing, noticing that her eyes were misty under her eyelashes, and kissed her lightly on the lips so that she could truly feel his presence. Then he took her by the waist and carried her into the room.

God knows how hard it had been for him, but in about twenty minutes her temperature had soared to nearly forty degrees, and she was burning so badly that she began to sweat and talk in her sleep. Fortunately, the time had passed so quickly that he was almost fully dressed to take her to the hospital, but her temperature had dropped.

Mourning

Yan Chen wanted to let her lie down on the ground, but she didn't. Soft arms wrapped around his neck as she climbed up like a bear, she was wearing a nightgown, half of her arms and legs were exposed, and Mu Yan Chen was afraid that she would freeze again and coax her to lie down, but she refused.

Just as he woke up, a large portion of his soul was sucked out by her soft and hoarse voice. Mu Yanchen's heart was filled with a warm feeling of dependence when he heard this, which was shockingly hot. Mu Yanchen hugged her tightly, hugging her tightly yet not letting her feel the pressure. The kiss began from the center of her brows, it was so warm that it fell on her face like a river and finally wrapped itself around her sensitive neck.

Lanxi. He whispered her name, and buried his fingers in her hair and covered her ears. Don't ever get sick again.

Mu Yan Chen's voice was hoarse and low.

It was clearly an order, but when they heard it, their ears were filled with the smell of begging.

Because he really had never experienced this sort of feeling before. One person being sick, two people being in pain, the feeling of having his heart being pulled outside of her body yet being unable to do anything about it, it was too unbearable.

He had never felt anything like living with old age or dying from sickness before.

But perhaps it was because she had grown up that she became worried about her personal gains and losses, and she was not allowed to suffer even the slightest bit of pain or injury.

His eardrums buzzed, but he did not transmit all of his thoughts to his mind. Instead, he could clearly hear the tyranny in his voice. He closed his eyes, remembering the feeling of waiting under the night sky for him to shiver from the cold, and also that ring she had hidden in his palm that she had tossed somewhere before. She bit his lips and tightly hugged him, telling him that he was hers.

No one could take it away.

Her long eyelashes were soaked by the water vapor. When Lan Xi opened his eyes, he saw that he had put on his shirt.

Have you been out? she asked in a husky voice.

Because of her question, Mu Yan Chen's heart tensed up and became even softer. He whispered into her ear with his thin lips, No … I wanted to send you to the hospital because you had a really bad fever just now, but luckily it's gone now. "

Lan Xi gently tilted her head. She could smell the refreshing fragrance of the shower gel in the hair at the nape of his neck. Her captivating red lips gently pressed against the skin around his neck. What time is it?

A slight numbing feeling spread throughout his body. Mu Yanchen's heart was unbelievably soft, and his voice turned even more hoarse and gentle. It's not even 7 o'clock. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll cook for you.

What if I want to eat you … she said hoarsely, biting gently with her teeth along the curve of his neck.

The numbness became even more intense.

Mu Yan Chen's entire body was covered in a thin layer of sweat. It wasn't just because the heat was too thick, but because his entire body was burning hot and his body couldn't be ignored. His large palm wrapped around the back of her head and pulled her neck out of her mouth before she completely sunk into confusion.

He did not dare to be too violent. He only pricked open the gaps between her teeth and sucked the tip of her tongue. The astringent taste faded, and the sweetness remained.

You're tired. Gently touching her lips, he coaxed her softly.

The cell phone in his pants pocket buzzed under the slightly heavy quilt.

At this moment, Mu Yan Chen didn't have the slightest impulse to pick up the phone. He continued to embrace her as he waited for the bell to ring. He didn't expect it to ring so relentlessly.

Mu Yan Chen's deep eyes were filled with deep and shallow indifference. At this moment, he didn't care about anything else.

While he was speaking softly, Lan Xi's hand snaked down and groped in confusion. She even inadvertently touched something that she shouldn't have touched. She bit her lips, her pure eyes indicating that he should continue speaking, her hand stubbornly touching his pocket.

The ringing phone landed in her hand.

Can I take it? She raised her head, but there was still a hint of paleness in her face. Her eyes, however, were bright with desire.

CHAPTER 104 - A LINGERING TENDERNESS

Can I take it? She raised her head, but there was still a hint of paleness in her face. Her eyes, however, were bright with desire.

Mu Yan Chen's heart palpitated as he looked at her. Bowing his head, he pecked her lips. This could be considered the tacit agreement of gentleness.

As he took out his phone, which was burning with excitement, a bright light shone in the dim room, with Nie Mingxuan's name flashing on it. Lanxi was a little timid for a moment, but she suddenly felt Mu Yanchen move. She was shocked for a moment and her soft arms tightened around him again, not allowing him to leave. He stiffened for a moment. The emotions in his deep eyes became complicated. A few seconds later, he slowly held her face, and the lingering kiss fell again.

Her fingers had pressed the answer button.

Nie Ming's smiling voice could be heard, I already told you about Lu Yao's plane leaving the country tomorrow morning. I also said that we'd send each other off. Why didn't you pick up the phone after making so many calls? What are you busy with? "

Lan Xi tilted her head and said in a soft voice, Are you looking for my big brother?

On the other side, Nie Mingxuan was obviously stunned. He almost thought he had called the wrong number. He looked at it and confirmed it was Mu Yan Chen's number. He covered his ears again and smiled gently, Hello, little sister.

Hearing this voice in the broad daylight gave him an unreal feeling of fear and trepidation.

Lan Xi pursed her lips and raised her watery eyes to ask for Mu Yanchen's opinion. Since they were so close, it was likely that he had already heard what Nie Mingxuan had said just now. Mu Yan Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He retracted his thick eyelashes, and slowly buried his head into her neck as he smelled the refreshing and attractive scent on her body. He said hoarsely, Tell him that he's free and help me say goodbye to Lu Yao.

Lan Xi's chest was filled with warmth. She pursed her lips, and after a long while, she pressed them to the receiver and softly said, My Big Brother said to go, but he wants to bring me along.

Mu Yancheng's body instantly stiffened.

Before Nie Mingxuan could say anything, his hand covered his phone to keep his voice down. He got up and stared at the person in his arms, deeply staring at her, then softly said, Stop messing around … You just had a fever. "

Lanxi looked at him with watery eyes. She bit her lips without saying a word. Her calm and innocent expression seemed to be telling him that she had said what she wanted to say, that it was impossible for her to take it back.

Mu Yan Chen didn't know what to do.

After a long while, the rolling clouds in his eyes slowly dispersed. He bent down and kissed her on the lips, acquiescing to her words. Lan Xi placed his exquisite black phone next to his ear, a silver light shining from it. The corners of his lips lifted into a faint smile as he gently said in a hoarse voice, I didn't hear you clearly. Say the address again.

After hanging up the phone, he felt that the night had turned gentle, and the dim light in the room was spreading out like strong coffee. After hanging up the phone, the night felt gentle, and the dim light in the room was spreading out like strong coffee.

The third time he pulled her out from between the buttons of his shirt, he held her delicate bones in his hands with a complicated look in his eyes. His thin lips were pursed into a line as he warned, Don't be angry, otherwise you won't be able to attend the gathering. You'll be bedridden for the whole night.

Lan Xi scratched the back of his hand, rubbing it against his arm as he said, Then let's go now.

Lie down a little longer. Mu Yan Chen coaxed her gently.

Only his hands were still dishonest as they wrapped around his waist and then touched the muscles of his abdomen through the thin shirt. According to the legends, she had only seen this kind of thing called the abdominal muscles, but she had never touched it before.

Mu Yan Chen was finally sure that she had recovered. His handsome eyebrows were filled with charm as he stared at the gentle and crafty smile on her face. It was as beautiful as a sunny day.

She cried out, hurt a little by his pinching, and winced in his arms.

Inside the bathrobe, he wasn't wearing anything. With just a touch, he felt his desire to burn the prairie. Even Mu Yan Chen couldn't take it anymore. He retracted his arms and continued hugging her, kissing her to quell his thirst.

By the time she had finished, an hour had passed. As she was about to leave, she saw that there were two cups of water on the table. They were both half filled with water, and she was startled.

Has anyone been in the house? She was confused.

Mu Yan Chen stood at the entrance and called her over to change her shoes. His eyes were as dark as the night sky as he said, Hurry, we're going to be late.

He jogged over and the scarf hanging around his neck loosened. Mu Yanchen pulled it up and circled it again. After recovering from his illness, he took a deep breath of the cold air outside. He felt some fear and also some joy, but most of it was happiness. Lanxi took a step back to look at him, her beautiful eyes beaming with bright light as she said, Big Brother, do I look like a squirrel?

She was wrapped in two layers of cotton-padded clothing that had never been so thick in winter.

In the inky snow that filled C City, Mu Yan Chen walked out with a straight body of ink, as if he was a person in a painting. He stared at her with a smile on his face as he drove. As Lan Xi sat up, she gently stomped her feet, shaking the snow on the carpet. As she looked up, she suddenly remembered where she had placed the ring.

Her clear eyes stared blankly. She hugged her chest and covered the little hole above the woolen sweater …

Bag.

It was there.

As the car slowly moved away, some uneasiness rose within Lan Xi's heart. Her fingers, red from the cold, reached out and turned on the radio, and she continued to listen to her favorite channel. When the funny sounds came from the car again, she smiled.

Mu Yan Chen observed her expression in the rearview mirror, and gradually steadied his grip on the steering wheel. He then took her slightly cold hand and placed it on his palm.

Seeing this scene again, Nie Mingxuan's shock was far greater than his first time.

Sister, are you not going to class today? He started to tease from a distance.

Lan Xi waited until he was close enough before revealing half of her wrapped face. She softly said, She's sick. It's just right that she's well now.

Nie Mingxuan was stunned and couldn't help lowering his head, This …. Is there anything to avoid? "

The dishes that had just been ordered by the table were all heavier.

Lan Xi didn't understand. She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Mu Yan Chen. Mu Yan Chen tightly gripped her hand, his handsome face revealing his charm. He said in a low voice, Just give her some porridge.

Nie Mingxuan understood, and continued to walk inside with a light smile on his face.

The exquisite smell of the capital permeated the atmosphere, even the name of the private room was infuriated. As Nie Ming walked, he could feel his aura becoming weaker and weaker. He couldn't help but turn his head and say, Yan Chen, there's something I need to remind you of.

Mu Yan Chen didn't stop moving, giving him a look indicating that he had something to say.

Clenching the unlit cigarette tightly between his fingers, Nie Mingxuan hesitated before speaking, The lotus root is inside ….

Without waiting for Mu Yan Chen to speak again, he explained, "This is just a coincidence. When we came, we just happened to meet up with the meal at Hall Master Yan's side, so I went over to drink two cups of water and followed along. You know that it's not appropriate for a little girl like her to join in on the meal, so it's better to play with us.

A waiter pushed a dining cart over. Mu Yanchen gently carried Lanxi to the other side of his body and placed him in his embrace. He glanced at Nie Mingxuan with a cold gaze and asked, So?

Nie Mingxuan: …

He faintly smiled, but didn't say anything. He turned his head to light up his own cigarette, and he took a drag from it as he looked at Lanxi. Does little sister mind?

You mean my brother's girlfriend? she asked.

Nie Mingxuan nodded. It seems that she knows about it.

But isn't that a lie? Lanxi looked at him with clear eyes, You are my brother's best friend, you don't even know this?

Nie Mingxuan suddenly choked. He bit the tip of his cigarette, almost swallowing the entire cigarette!

What kind of mouth did this little girl have?!

Feeling that he had become a little sharper, Lan Xi lowered her eyes in embarrassment. She held onto Mu Yan Chen tightly and no longer spoke, returning to her obedient appearance. Nie Mingxuan almost felt as though what she said just now was just an illusion.

They almost walked past the room.

Ai ai ai. Nie Mingxuan snapped back to reality and held them back with a hint of embarrassment, We're here, this way.

He pushed open the door and indeed, cheers and laughter poured in.

One of them, the man called Lu Yao, rejected the wine glasses that were being handed to him from all directions, saying that you couldn't drink while flying, while Yan Lun, who was dressed in an exquisite fur coat, was sitting on the inside. Her slightly curled chestnut hair gave off an alluring and beautiful vibe, and he smiled lightly as he looked over at Mu Yan Chen the moment he was pushed open the door.

There was a vacant seat beside Yan Ran. She smiled softly and pulled her chair apart, waiting for him to come over.

Nie Mingxuan understood what was going on. His smile widened as he patted Mu Yan Chen on the shoulder and said, Waiter, please add two seats beside me. All of you, move to the side. Hurry.

Yan Luan heard this but did not move, she continued tasting the soup.

Lan Xi's eyes subconsciously fell on her pinky finger. Her hand was smooth and smooth, and the place where she wore her ring was empty.

CHAPTER 105 - ABNORMAL OR RETARDED MIND

Once they sat down, everyone's interest was piqued by the beautiful young girl beside Mu Yan Chen.

Lu Yao had been preparing to go abroad for the past few days, and was busy to the point that he didn't have time to meet with this bunch of kids. At this moment, he looked at Lan Xi in surprise, drank a cup of wine, and said to Mu Yanchen with a smile, "When you said you wanted to go back and help the Mu Family, I thought you would leave just like that. I didn't expect you to stay here for so long.

Mu Yan Chen leaned back in his chair, his deep and calm gaze focused on the bowl of porridge that the waiter had just served. He didn't say anything.

The congee was cooked in a clay pot. It had been served up here for a long time and was still boiling hot. Lan Xi wanted to touch it, but when she approached it, her long eyelashes were filled with steaming hot water. Mu Yan frowned as he called out to the waiter, asking them to change the broth and serve it in the soup cup. At the same time, he pulled on Lan Xi's hand to prevent her from accidentally getting burned.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

After a long while, he slowly came to a realization. He didn't expect that the relationship between Mu Yanchen and the Mu Family would be so close. He didn't know if this was a play or a change in personality. He smirked as he passed a cup of wine to Lan Xi and said, "Come, come, let's have a drink with this little sister …

She doesn't drink. Mu Yan Chen said in a low voice as he raised his head.

Lu Yao sneered, How can you not drink? Come, sister, let me tell you... Your Mu family really did let him down. Did you know that? You said he worked so hard in the United States, but during the Chinese New Year, he had to work all night abroad with pneumonia and was close to death. Where did your Mu family go at that time? Now that he has been defeated, I know that I have to ask him to come back and help —"

Mu Yan Chen raised his hand to hold the wine cup as he frowned slightly. Are you drunk?

After enduring for a long time, Nie Mingxuan couldn't help laughing out loud. He pointed at the people around him and said, I said I only left for ten minutes, right? You guys are pretty good at drinking. Lu Yao was so good at drinking, yet you guys poured him into this state …"

The waiter brought up the bowl of soup and placed it in front of the slightly dazed Lan Xi.

He patted his forehead, and a faint, embarrassed smile appeared on his face. He silently said to Lanxi, I'm sorry, I drank too much. It's not your fault, but you're quite pitiful. If I leave, then you should be nicer to him. Here, I'll drink some wine. You drink some soup …

Lanxi was stunned.

However, her hand was suddenly suppressed by Mu Yan Chen. She clenched her hand into a fist and signaled her not to move. Nie Mingxuan knocked on the cup with her chopsticks and frowned, Drink my ass. We'll catch a plane tomorrow. Quickly take away your wine cup!

Laughter and ridicule emerged from the surrounding area.

Despite the ruckus, their relationship as children was much closer than that of ordinary friends.

Lu Yao ran off to the side without his wine cup to hook up with the beauties beside him. With a frown, he leaned over and said hoarsely, Ah, and you, Ah Ran. When were you and Yan Chen together? We don't know that until you break up, you won't be exposed. Do you think you're acting in a TV show …"

After he got drunk, he had a lot of conversations, and everyone knew it. Yan Can let out a soft sigh of relief while everyone was playing around and pulling him apart. With eyebrows as distant as the distance between them, she gave a charming smile and said: There's nothing to say, he doesn't like it, so we might as well not say anything. You guys don't need to say anything in the future, okay?

Oh? From your tone, you don't seem to be interested in Yan Chen? She's protecting me so well and even said she broke up …

Yan Shan held her forehead with a headache. With a faint smile that revealed her bitterness, she said softly, Alright, alright. I didn't say anything. Did I not say anything good?

No matter what, it was a mistake, but what could they understand?

Mu Yanchen was sitting one meter away from her, his eyes filled with his aura and smell. His chest was extremely sore, especially when she saw him gently propping up the table to talk to Lanxi in a soft voice. Her breathing was stifled, and her heart was in extreme pain.

Even if he treated her with a thousandth of her gentleness, she would never be able to change that.

Separated by half a table, Lan Xi didn't say anything. His eyelashes drooped as he quietly stirred the porridge.

After a long while, everyone started to stroll around the private room. Yan Luan was a little drunk, but when she raised her eyes, she suddenly noticed that both Mu Yan Chen and Lanxi were nowhere to be seen. Nie Mingxuan was leaning against the window as he chatted with the Second Young Master of the tax bureau.

Yan Shan was startled, she turned around and picked up her bag, trying her best to steady her high heels as she walked out.

As expected, as she passed through a long corridor, she saw Lan Xi in the washroom.

Taking a light breath, Yan Shan slowly walked over, her beautiful figure reflected in the mirror, her hand placing on top of the automatic sprinkler, softly saying: Did you see my ring? Can you give it back to me?

These words caused the nerves at Lan Xi's temples to jump. She raised her eyes, and only then was she able to see Yan Ran by her side.

The atmosphere in the spacious washroom suddenly became tense and strange.

Her clear eyes stared at her without moving.

How would I know where your ring is if I don't sit next to you? She said it clearly, word for word.

palmatum, radix

He shook his hand, rummaged through his bag for a tissue, and said with a charming smile: You came with him, you should be able to see it from the passenger seat. I didn't leave it there on purpose. There's also my initials on the inside of the ring. They were given to me by a friend. Can you give them to me if you see them?"

Lan Xi's small face flashed with a pale color. She felt that she had finished washing herself, so she turned around and placed her hand under the dryer, ignoring her.

Yan Shan rubbed her forehead, and finally understood that this little girl was hard to deal with, she walked over and whispered: I shouldn't have denied your feelings, I was just asking for my own things, and not fighting with you? Besides, I can't snatch it away from you, because that's your blood brother. It's been the same all his life, but isn't something like blood relations something that I can't steal away?

Her voice was soft and seductive.

Lan Xi's back was very stiff. He felt that the wind from the dryer was a bit hot, but he stiffly didn't dare move it away.

She only took a step back and stood still when she felt the pain.

She took out the ring from the inside pocket of her chest. Her eyes were a little red as she turned around and handed it to her. Check if this is the ring.

Yan Can's eyes lit up.

She paused for a moment, then took it and nodded in realization. Oh, yes. This is mine.

Take it and don't lose it. Especially not to be left in Mu Yanchen's car.

After Lan Xi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

This was because a warm wind was blowing in her ears.

Yan Can Ran did not even have time to say a word to her. She put on her ring and chased after her, not withdrawing her gaze for a long time. She did have the rebelliousness and pride that only girls of the same age should have, but she would always soften up when she was changing. Even if she felt uncomfortable inside, she wouldn't cause trouble for others, and even if she was hurt, she never would have thought that she would become enemies with her.

Do men really like girls who are so weak that they don't even have bones and cry till their eyes turn red?

A sharp piercing pain slashed across his chest!

Yan Shan sneered!

But there were so many men in the world, why did she fall in love with her brother? She had so many choices in life, why would she use such a filthy reality to dye Mu Yanchen black as well! How about young? So what if he was weak? Could it be that the whole world should sympathize with her because of this? Could such a despicable and disgusting relationship be forgiven?

Dream...

Pressing her sharp nails into the meat, Yan Lao sneered and let out tears, gritting her teeth in her heart as she muttered, Dream on!

She turned around and her hands trembled as she took out a brand-new phone from her bag — it was the one that Mu Yan Chen had sent someone to the Yan Clan the next morning. Her original phone was exactly the same, but her father was also home at the time.

Ah, thoughtful.

That was only because it was exclusive to Mu Yan Chen. It was swift and merciless, leaving no trace of emotion behind.

She asked Nie Mingxuan for Lanxi's number and saved it.

Nie Mingxuan was a little drunk. In his dazed state, he saw his phone being flipped. He lightly frowned and snatched it over to look. He raised his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, Lan Ran, Lanxi is only a child. Don't make things difficult for her.

Yan Can slowly raised her eyes to look at him, sneered, and faintly said, Nie Mingxuan, you're kind, you're kind. I sincerely wish that the weirdos and retards they marry in the future can thank you for them — what do you think?

Then, without waiting for Nie Mingxuan's reply, she turned around and left.

It was clearly a warm hallway. Nie Mingxuan broke out in a cold sweat from what he had just said! It was as if a chill had run down his spine, and it was so cold that he shivered and the smoke fell to the ground.

At the entrance of the pavilion, Lan Xi opened the car door and was about to get in.

A clear sound of music flashed in her pocket. There was a text message. Lan Xi's footsteps paused. He took it out of his pocket and looked at it. Under the tranquil night sky, there was a neat string of small words written on it.

Yan Chen has his phone turned off. Help me tell him to be careful on his way back, it's snowing. Also, I like the new phone he gave me very much, thank you.

Snowflakes slowly fell on her face, light as a painting.

CHAPTER 106 - LET'S GO

Mu Yan Chen exchanged a few words with Lu Yao. This parting was slightly sad amidst the snow, but his handsome face was still as calm as before, giving off a soul-stirring aura. He tilted his head and said to his good friend, Take care.

Lu Yao was completely drunk. He smiled with the corners of his mouth hooked, his charms overflowing.

Taking advantage of his final moment of clarity, he patted Mu Yan Chen on the shoulder and said hoarsely, Yan Chen, you know what? I have a feeling that … You'll definitely return to the United States in the future. This city is impersonal, especially to you. For the time being, I don't know why you still want to stay here, but … In the future, if you are disappointed in this place, come find me —

He thumped his chest twice. Come to me, I'll be waiting for you in America.

Mu Yan Chen lowered his eyes, his eyelashes smeared with snow. His entire face was carved into a sharp angle, giving off a beauty that could shake the world. He raised his hand and patted Mu Yan's shoulder, instructing the people beside him to bring him back to take good care of him.

Naturally, he did not believe Luyao's words at the moment — for the time being, he had no intention of returning to the United States.

The human heart was originally drifting about, but with a worry, it wouldn't be the same.

Since someone was still here, he wouldn't be willing to leave.

Step by step, her slender, straight legs moved forward. Mu Yanchen's gaze pierced through the snow and landed on her. She slowly descended and asked in a low voice, Why aren't you going in?

Lan Xi put away her phone, raised her eyes that were clear as water, and gently said in a hoarse voice, I'll wait for you.

With so many brothers and children standing behind him, it was inconvenient for him to kiss her. Hearing such a voice, his heart softened, and he gently touched her face. Luckily, he wasn't too cold, so he said in a low voice, Let's go.

It was just that he had forgotten. Forgot that China has an idiom.

His name was Prophecy.

As the car passed the Starlight Tower, Lanxi lowered the window and stared at the building as the cold wind blew in. The most luxurious building in C City, the consumptive paradise of the upper class, had a dazzling and unreal beauty under the night sky.

The road in this area wasn't very resistant to skids. Mu Yanchen could see her movements from the rearview mirror. His cold brows revealed a hint of burning worry and heartache as he slowed down and parked the car by the roadside.

He didn't think that just as the car stopped, Lan Xi's back would stiffen. Then, his small hand reached for the door handle, twisted it, and walked out.

Mu Yan Chen's heart tightened.

After locking the car and unlocking the key, he stepped out of the car almost immediately and stared at her intently over the roof. He didn't know what she was trying to do, but the snow outside the car window was still blowing silently and rustling down on her, and she looked up at the skyscraper with a look that made him sad.

Do you want to go in? An extraordinary figure came up behind her.

Lan Xi's small face, which was as calm as water, sank. In her watery eyes, a hint of emotion called sadness could be clearly seen.

The heavy snow was falling soundlessly, as if trying to cover up
