Falling tonight

The aroma of the steaming coffee lingered in the car.

Mu Zhou lowered his head, thinking of the scene in his mind of him and Zhao Rou breaking up on bad terms in the morning.

From last night to now, she has not taken the initiative to contact him.

We have already gone downstairs to Zhao Rou's studio. Why don't we call her and ask her to come downstairs to chat?

But I thought about waiting outside her house all night in the early morning.He had already taken the initiative to step down for her, but she gave him a slap in the face.

I couldn't help but feel irritated.

"Mu Zhou, can you help me fasten my seat belt?"

While he was lost in thought, Xiao Xinyun spoke from the side.

Mu Zhou turned his head and saw Xiao Xinyun struggling to reach the buckle of the seat belt with one hand, while the other hand was holding coffee and couldn't move it away.

Without thinking much, he turned sideways and pulled the seat belt with his right hand to buckle her.

"Thank you."

Along with the woman's soft voice, a faint scent of perfume mixed with the aroma of coffee filled the tip of his nose.

Mu Zhou raised his eyes and found that Xiao Xinyun had come closer at some point, her long hair floating gently on his shoulders, and the distance between them was only a fist-width apart.

Somewhat uncomfortable with being so close to her, Mu Zhouying frowned slightly, loosened his seat belt and returned to his seat.

"Let's drive."

Mu Zhou kicked the front driver's seat and ordered Gao Songqing with a frown.

Forget it, I’m not in the mood to go find Zhao Rou anymore.

"Okay, Mr. Mu."

Gao Songqing glanced at the rearview mirror nervously.

I don’t know where his CEO and Zhao Rou went wrong since last night.

The "blue blood" that had been ordered to be given to Zhao Rou long ago appeared on Miss Xiao's body.

Then in the middle of the night, it was quickly revealed by the media that Mr. Mu and Miss Xiao were spending time together in a hotel.

Today, I ordered him to queue up and buy Xiao Long Bao again early in the morning, and he came to pick up Miss Xiao attentively.

Gao Songqing thought that his CEO had completely abandoned Miss Zhao and had rekindled his old love for his former lover.

But it didn't seem like that to him just now.

At least Mr. Mu's attitude towards Miss Xiao is different from Zhao Rou's.

He couldn't describe the specific differences.

Sure enough, the world of three people was too crowded, something he could never understand.

Gao Songqing stepped on the accelerator and started the car.

In the car, Xiao Xinyun took a sip of coffee and looked sideways at Mu Zhou with crooked eyebrows and said, "It's been a long time since I've been back. The house must be in a state of disrepair. I guess it needs to be tidied up. I don't know if the servant you found for me can do it." It can’t be done today.”

Mu Zhou responded casually, "It's been deserted for a long time. You can stay in the hotel first and don't be in a hurry to go back and let them clean up."

"How can I keep troubling you? Bai Zhenghe is not here, and I have to ask you to arrange these things for me, and the scandal broke out. I feel so sorry. By the way, have you found out who took those photos?"

Gao Songqing glanced sideways at them in the rearview mirror, then continued to look at the road ahead.

"Not yet, Assistant Gao is still checking."

Mu Zhou turned to look at the receding scenery outside the window and said calmly.

Xiao Xinyun noticed that he was holding coffee in both hands and had not drank it.

Her eyes followed his slender fingers, his strong arms hidden under his suit sleeves, his broad shoulders, the side of his neck with swollen blue blood vessels, and up to his thick black hair.

Every part of this man's body is full of sexual temptation.

Xiao Xinyun's heart flashed with charming emotions, and she said softly, "I hope that person will be found out soon so that it won't affect your company and life." "It won't be so serious."

Mu Zhou turned around and saw a worried expression on Xiao Xinyun's pale face, and her stern expression softened.

"Don't mention this matter again. I will take care of it. Your reputation is important. Don't let anyone make a fuss about the photo. This will be detrimental to you in the future."

After all, Muzhou felt that he was a man, and such false things would have a greater impact on women than on men.

He can continue to run his business, but if a woman is rumored, she will receive more public attention in the form of gossip and condemnation.

Xiao Xinyun lowered her head shyly, then raised her eyes to look at Mu Zhou, lovingly saying, "With you here, I don't worry about anything."

Mu Zhou was stunned for a moment and looked away, but did not respond to her after all.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of an old Chinese-style building.

Butler Li De and a row of servants were already waiting at the door.

"Mr. Mu, Miss Xiao, you are here."

Seeing Mu Zhou and Xiao Xinyun get out of the car, Li De stepped forward and walked towards them.

"Uncle Li, please pay more attention to the Xiao family's old residence."

Li De is the old butler of the Mu family. This time Mu Zhou specially invited him to take care of everything for the Xiao family.

Xiao Xinyun smiled sweetly at Li De, "Uncle Li, long time no see."

Li De smiled and nodded, neither very enthusiastic nor unfamiliar.

"Ms. Xiao, a few years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you have not changed much. You are still the same as before."

Xiao Xinyun handed the key to Li De, and Li De turned around and opened the two-meter-high exquisite Chinese-style double wooden door at the door.

Due to its age, when Li De pushed open the wooden door, it made a "creaking" sound, and the overgrown scene inside was gradually revealed to everyone.

Li De led the servants into the door and directed everyone's division of labor.

Returning to the home where she had lived for more than ten years, Xiao Xinyun was obviously a little excited and her breathing quickened.

She took a few steps forward and found that there were no footsteps behind her.

Xiao Xinyun looked back and saw that Mu Zhou was still standing there with his hands in his pockets, squinting at the door.

"Mu Zhou, won't you go in with me?"

Mu Zhou turned his attention to Xiao Xinyun and said with a faint expression, "No, I still have something to do. When you're done, tell me and I'll ask Assistant Gao to pick you up and take you back to the hotel."

Xiao Xinyun was stunned.

The next second, she smiled considerately, holding her bag in front of her with both hands, very well-behaved and sensible, "Okay, you go and do your work first, don't be delayed by my things."

Seeing Mu Zhou step into the car without looking back, the exhaust fumes rising in the air, Xiao Xinyun stood still for a long time, biting her silver teeth into pieces.

Bentley sped along the empty road until the night gradually darkened, and then stopped at a factory in the outer suburbs.

"Mr. Mu, we're here."

Gao Songqing parked the car and said to Mu Zhou with his eyes closed in the rearview mirror.

Mu Zhou was sitting up and sleeping when he heard Gao Songqing's voice and slowly opened his eyelids.

What caught my eyes was a dense darkness. I turned my head and looked out the window. It was already evening.

As winter approaches, it gets darker faster and earlier at night.

Mu Zhou leaned forward, stretched his arms back, twisted his neck a few times, made a "click" sound, and slightly stretched his body that was stiff from sleep.

"Is there anyone inside?"

Gao Songqing nodded with a solemn expression, "Yes, Xiaojiu rushed over to the United States to catch them in the afternoon and flew back two hours ago." (End of Chapter)
