Quite awkward

Chapter 174: Heart-to-heart talk on the lawn

These days, after Mu Yanqing finished his work for the day, he would always go to the hotel to pick up Qi Yu to go out for dinner and shopping.

The day before leaving, Qi Yu suggested that she wanted to visit the university where he worked. He welcomed her as long as she didn't mind being recognized by young students.

Qi Yu smiled innocently, thinking that he was not yet famous enough to be known by everyone.

2 p.m.

The two of them walked on the school's deep and narrow tree-lined avenue. Occasionally, someone would pass by them on a bicycle. At the end of the avenue was a huge green lawn where classmates gathered in groups of three or four to bask in the sun.

"Do you want to go?" Mu Yanqing asked.

Qi Yu wore a white mask that covered half of her face, revealing a pair of bright and beautiful eyes.

Her eyebrows curved downwards and she nodded at him with a smile.

……

It was a sunny day with a moderate temperature and a breeze blowing my hair from time to time.

It was a rare opportunity for Qi Yu to relax like this. She covered her eyes with a mask to block out the glare, sat on the grass with her knees hugged, and quietly felt the leisurely beauty of this moment.

Mu Yanqing glanced at her and saw her innocent and happy expression, and his mood became as bright as the weather.

Time flowed quietly. About twenty minutes passed without the two of them talking or chatting. They each quietly felt the fresh air and gentle sunshine of nature.

The ringing of a cell phone broke the quiet atmosphere at an inopportune time.

Mu Yanqing looked down and saw that the phone placed on the grass showed an incoming call with the note "Second Brother".

Just then, Qi Yu accidentally fell into a shallow sleep. She was awakened by the ringing of the phone. She pulled down her mask in a daze, squinted her eyes and touched the phone. After taking it and taking a look, she decisively hung up the call.

These days, this was not the first time that Mu Yanqing had seen Mu Chenan calling Qi Yu. Every time, she would refuse the call without hesitation, and an expression of impatience would often appear on her face.

He calmed down and asked tentatively: "Ayu, don't you want to receive Chen An's call?"

Qi Yu didn't think much about it. He adjusted the mask on his face and nodded heavily.

She didn't like Mu Chenan contacting her at any time. Couldn't they talk later if there was something? Besides, he didn't have anything serious to talk to her about. He just wanted to make his presence felt in her life.

"Don't you want to see him after you return to Linjiang?" Mu Yanqing asked again.

Qi Yu didn't think about it carefully, and because she didn't want her eldest brother to notice anything unusual, she immediately responded, "Not really."

Then he added in a fake tone, "He and I have never been compatible since we were little. Maybe it would be better if we don't see each other."

Although it wasn't against her own wishes, she still lied a little.

Recently, when she suddenly saw Mu Chenan appear in front of her, she felt a little surprised.

Although she didn't show it obviously on her face, her dependence on him almost exposed her unstable heart. However, because she couldn't give him an emotional response at the moment, she became anxious and restless.

Mu Yanqing was silent for a moment and had a guess in his mind.

In his opinion, in the relationship between Muchenan and Qi Yu, Muchenan has always been the active party, while Qi Yu has fallen into a passive and helpless situation. She obviously has no desire to reconcile, but has been forced to endure the other party's constant harassment.

"If Chen An goes to work in the United States, no one will bother you anymore."

Qi Yu didn't even think about it and said directly: "Sure, this is a good arrangement."

This just gave her enough time to sort out her feelings and seriously think about the future relationship between her and Muchenan.

Mu Yanqing received her feedback in full and immediately had new considerations.

If Muchenan went to the United States to manage the company's branch, he would be bound by both family ties and work, and would most likely stay there forever and not be able to come back at any time.

Maybe his feelings for Qi Yu will gradually fade until he lets go completely.
