The down-and-out daughter x Business upstart 74

Qin Muxu was softened by Sui Yu's eyes and gently coaxed him into the door: "Why did you drink so much wine? Didn't you say you are not allowed to drink more?"

It was a celebration banquet. If Sui Yucheng didn't want to drink, those people wouldn't dare to force him.

Hearing Qin Muxu's somewhat complaining tone, Sui Yu lowered his head and his eyes turned redder, with a fierce and pitiful aura. Qin Muxu was frightened by him.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about you anymore. Don't cry."

Sui Yu turned away and didn't look at her. Qin Muxu wasn't sure how drunk he was, so he could only tentatively ask: "Can I take a bath by myself?"

Sui Yu hummed softly. Qin Muxu took him to the bathroom uneasy, found clothes for him and put some water in it. Then he helped him close the shower curtain, but he didn't leave the bathroom either.

Drunk people are prone to accidents. Fortunately, Sui Yu was not that bad yet. He washed up according to the prescribed procedures and then opened the shower curtain.

Before Qin Muxu could even relax his breath, he saw the man's lean and powerful abdominal muscles and the water flowing downwards.

It would be great if Sui Yu could finish taking a shower while he was in a daze. Wearing pajamas might really embarrass him.

He didn't wipe his hair, and water droplets flowed down his forehead. In the thick mist, Sui Yu looked at Qin Muxu with focused and sincere eyes, a little well-behaved and obedient, like a big dog that fell into the water.

Beautiful man's critical attack.

Qin Muxu usually made Sui Yu stunned, but now when faced with Sui Yu, who looked like an innocent and confused young man from a good family, his ears turned red.

She tilted her head uncomfortably, and without thinking of reasoning with the drunk man, she reached over him and picked up the dry bath towels and pajamas beside the bathtub.

"Dry off the water and put on some clothes."

Sui Yu stared straight at Qin Muxu, then slowly took the thing in her hand and said slowly.

He looked so innocent and ignorant that Qin Muxu always felt a strange sense of guilt and turned his back and stopped looking at him.

After a rustling sound, Sui Yu patted her shoulder: "Xu Xu, I'm fine."

Qin Muxu hummed, walked out of the bathroom, took out the hair dryer, plugged it in, sat on the hotel bed, patted his side and motioned for Sui Yu to sit down.

Sui Yu walked over to her and sat down next to her obediently. When he put his head in Qin Muxu's hands, he even nuzzled her twice like a baby.

It was so cute, Qin Muxu seemed to suddenly understand how Sui Yu felt when he suppressed his smile and said coldly that she was squeamish.

In fact, Sui Yu is just as charming.

Sui Jiaojiao.

Qin Muxu was amused by the name in his mind, and then he helped him blow dry his hair.

Sui Yu was quiet throughout the whole process, squinting and looking comfortable and enjoying himself, like a lazy big cat.

After blow-drying, Sui Yu's hair was soft and fluffy. It was no longer the cold and ascetic look it usually had. It had a bit of sunshine and youthfulness, which reminded Qin Muxu of the cold and wild Sui Yu in college.

She ruffled the hair of the gentle and harmless-looking Sui Yu with enjoyment, and finally understood why this person always liked to worry about herself like an old mother.

It turns out that this is the joy of cultivating a family.

Qin Muxu finally managed to clean up Sui Yu, who smelled of alcohol, and turned him into a sweet-smelling and warm person. She collected her things with satisfaction and pushed Sui Yu to bed.

"It's time to go to bed."

Sui Yu lay down quietly on the bed, and the warm light cast a shadow on his long eyelashes.

"Does your stomach feel bad after drinking so much wine?"

Facing the well-behaved Sui Yu, Qin Muxu couldn't speak with all the harsh words, and his voice was a little coaxing unconsciously, so he sat by the bed and asked him.

Sui Yu looked at her gentle side face, blinked his eyes, and said in a moist voice, "A little."

Qin Muxu tapped him lightly on the head: "No drinking next time."

Sui Yu responded softly. Qin Muxu wanted to say something else, but there was a knock on the hotel door.

She walked to the door and took the stomach-nourishing and hangover soup she ordered from the hotel waiter, and then walked back to the bedside.

"Drink something and you'll feel better."

Sui Yu seemed to be afraid that Qin Muxu would run away, so his pupils shrank when she turned around to get something. After she came back, he became even more pathetic and listened to everything she said.

He didn't let Qin Muxu feed him, but took the hangover soup and drank it quickly.

After drinking, there was water on his lips, and his eyes were still a little dull. Qin Muxu looked a little funny, put the bowl away and went to bed.

"Why did you drink so much wine today?"

Sui Yu has always been calm and self-possessed, and it is rare to see him lose his composure like this.

Sui Yu looked at her for a long time without saying anything, and Qin Muxu didn't rush him, just looked at him quietly and waited for him to speak.

After a long time, Sui Yu said in a low voice: "Because I feel uncomfortable."

His voice was low and his head lowered a little.

Qin Muxu didn't expect this to be the reason. After seeing Sui Yu's downcast eyebrows, his heart seemed to be held by a big hand and slowly tightened.

She intuitively felt that she was about to touch Sui Yu's innermost thoughts. When she spoke again, her tone was a little difficult, but still gentle and peaceful.

"why you are not feeling happy?"

Perhaps it was because Qin Muxu gave Sui Yu too much sense of security, or perhaps her gentle and encouraging gazes made people want to talk.

Anyway, after Sui Yu was quiet for a longer time, he spoke very softly: "Because my lover doesn't love me."

Qin Muxu's pupils shrank slightly. He didn't expect that this was the reason why Sui Yu was drunk, and he didn't expect that this was what he was thinking in his heart.

Qin Muxu seemed to find it a bit ridiculous, and spoke slowly: "How... do you think so?"

Sui Yu turned to look at her, and Qin Muxu realized that his eyes had turned red without knowing when, and his eyes were stubborn and fragile.

"I just know it."

He seemed to recognize Qin Muxu, but he didn't seem to. In any case, he just looked at her straightly, his voice was wet and cold, and when he tasted it carefully, it also contained a little grievance and unwillingness.

"She doesn't like me, even if she likes me, it's only a little bit."

That's why she gave up on him without any scruples, broke up and went abroad, and then suddenly appeared in his life after five years of being alone and said she wanted to be with him again.

"After all, in her eyes, I am nothing."

Sui Yu's voice was low and hoarse when he said this, and he seemed to be extremely uncomfortable.

He seemed to be accusing or declaring a certain fact.

After all, there was no room for Qin Muxu to explain.

Qin Muxu didn't expect what he was thinking in his heart. He opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

- She didn't know what else she could do.

She knew that she was sorry for Sui Yu, and she also knew that Sui Yu felt insecure, so she went to find him as soon as she returned home, looked into his eyes over and over again and said she loved him, and tried her best to cooperate with him in bed.

But Sui Yu still didn't believe her.

He still doesn't believe she loves him.

And he was used to being forbearing, he didn't want to look like a resentful husband, let alone embarrass her.

So he could only suppress all his emotions quietly, and only dared to reveal anything at night when he was half asleep and half drunk.

Qin Muxu only felt that his chest was tight, and he slowly said softly: "I'm sorry."

Her tone was soft and low, like a child who had done something wrong.

If Sui Yu saw her like this when she was awake, he would definitely be distressed and pity her. He would not be able to bear to say anything anymore, and would even regret that he had said something he shouldn't have said to make her sad.

However, at this moment, Sui Yu was drunk after all. Listening to Qin Muxu's monotonous apology, he felt that the depression in his heart was even deeper.

"Qin Muxu," this was the first time he called her name tonight: "I never want to hear you say I'm sorry."

His deep eyes were fixed on the woman who was as cold as a fairy in front of him, and his voice was so soft that it seemed like it was about to disappear: "I just want to know, will you really fall in love with anyone in your life?"

Sui Yu has been thinking about this issue since Qin Muxu didn't even discuss it, threw away and destroyed all the good things the two had, humiliated him and broke up unilaterally to go abroad.

It was only after he opened his mouth that he finally realized that he was a little regretful and unwilling. He thought he had let go, but it turned out that he had not.

He still cares a lot and still won't give in.

They were so good at the beginning, and he thought they loved each other so much. He didn't understand how Qin Muxu could bear to separate in such a hasty and embarrassing way.

——It's just that he loves Qin Muxu so much that he is willing to cover his ears and be deaf, not listening to the voice in his heart, pretending that everything has passed.

If he hadn't had this drink tonight, he might have been able to pretend to be deaf for the rest of his life.

After Qin Muxu heard what he said, his whole body froze, like a robot that had run out of clockwork, quiet and lonely.

long time.

Just when Sui Yu thought she would remain silent to the end, she suddenly said: "No."

Her eyes were slowly filled with the same tears as Sui Yu's. Her cold white and beautiful face could not tell whether she was sad or stubborn, but she still finished her words word for word.

Her voice was soft but her words were firm.

"That's not the case. I love people."

"I love you."

Her voice was pale and weak, like a prisoner who desperately wanted to defend himself, but found in despair that he could not prove himself at all.

So she repeated it again: "Sui Yu, I love you, I have always known it, and I thought you would know it too."

She just underestimated the weight of the breakup five years ago in Sui Yu's heart.

She turned her dim eyes to Sui Yu, expecting to see movement in his eyes, or some other look that could give her a moment of comfort.

——However, the drunk Sui Yu just looked at her quietly with his dark eyes and said nothing, as if he didn't know what she was talking about.

The tears that had been accumulating in Qin Muxu's eyes suddenly fell.

She gritted her teeth and couldn't say a word.

Sui Yu, who was confused and confused, still didn't believe Qin Muxu's words, but after seeing her continuous tears, his heart instinctively hurt more and more.

He gently hugged Qin Muxu, who was trembling with tears, and his gentle tone was filled with unconscious cruelty: "Xu Xu, stop crying, go to bed quickly, I believe you."

Qin Muxu felt like a lump in his throat.

——

When Sui Yu woke up the next day, his head was still aching. He sat up halfway and rubbed his temples, and then the memories of last night came back little by little.

After he said a bunch of incomprehensible questions last night, the last scene in his mind was the figure of Qin Muxu trembling with tears.

Then……

He just fell asleep.

Sui Yu's face suddenly turned gloomy. He looked to his side, but there was no one on the bed.

His heart skipped a beat, he lifted up the quilt and stood up and walked outside. After seeing that familiar figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his restless heart calmed down a little.

Qin Muxu was sitting on the hanging chair, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, looking dazed. After hearing the sound, he turned around and smiled softly at him.

Her eyes were green, and her smile showed paleness and fatigue, but she still said as usual: "Good morning."

Sui Yu's heart tightened again, and he reflexively wanted to apologize: "Xu Xu, I'm sorry, I was drunk last night, and I didn't have it in my heart..."

Looking at Qin Muxu's burning eyes, Sui Yu's tone was a little difficult, but in the end it was Qin Muxu who helped him out.

"It's okay," Qin Muxu said softly: "It was my problem in the first place."

She broke up with him without any warning at first, and she failed to give him enough sense of security later on.

She was quiet for a moment, as if she didn't want to continue the topic, and pointed towards the living room: "Have you washed up? Breakfast is there, I have already eaten it."

Sui Yu saw her pretending to be indifferent, and his heart became more and more sour, but he didn't know what to say, so he just shouted Xu Xu in a low voice.

Qin Muxu just pretended that he couldn't see the complicated emotions in his eyes, and he lowered his head while holding the coffee and was lost in thought.

Sui Yu could only wash up first and quickly finished breakfast under Qin Muxu's gaze.

The two of them originally planned to go to Wujiang Ancient Town this afternoon, but when Qin Muxu saw Sui Yu finish eating, he said softly: "Let's go to Wujiang next time."

Sui Yu looked up at her and asked silently.

Qin Muxu tapped his slender fingers on the cup a few times and quietly said, "I'm a little tired and want to go back to the capital."

Sui Yu's throat was sore and she began to regret for the umpteenth time this morning that she had drank last night.

If he hadn't indulged and got drunk last night, Qin Muxu, who came to Nancheng to find him excitedly, would not have had anything to play in the end, and the planned travel plan would have ended hastily.

"I'm booking my tickets now."

The two finally booked a flight for that afternoon. While eating lunch, Grandpa Wang's student happened to call and ask when Sui Yu would return to Beijing.

Sui Yu glanced at Qin Muxu, who was eating quietly, and said in a dull tone: "I'll be there at around four o'clock this afternoon."

"Great, I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow. I thought I wouldn't be able to get the notes this time. Could you please Mr. Sui to pick them up for me this afternoon?"

This man is a doctoral student brought out by Grandpa Wang before he retired, and is now working as the chief surgeon in a tertiary hospital in Beijing.

Someone in the family had been seriously ill, and Sui Yu respected the doctor very much, so he hesitated for a while before agreeing.

So after getting off the plane that day, Sui Yu first sent Qin Muxu downstairs to the apartment in Beijing, and then drove to Grandpa Wang's villa.

Qin Muxu was not in a good mood, and didn't care what he was going to do. He waved goodbye and said goodbye. When he entered the apartment, he found that the apartment had been decorated by a decoration company. After the layout was changed, the apartment looked warm and homely, and

The layout that Qin Muxu originally envisioned is exactly the same.

The apartment was beautifully maintained and warm, but the relationship between them was a mess.

Feeling exhausted, Qin Muxu went to the bedroom on the second floor, washed briefly and then settled into bed.

She couldn't sleep all night last night. As soon as she closed her eyes, Sui Yu's words would appear in Qin Muxu's ears, causing her to continue to feel internally consumed.

"My lover doesn't love me."

"You will never fall in love with someone else."

"..."

Qin Muxu felt as if a hole had been dug out of his heart, and countless emptiness and regrets poured out of it.

She finally pulled the quilt over her head as if she was overwhelmed.

——She doesn’t want to do anything now, she just wants to empty her mind.

On the other hand, Sui Yu also opened the door of the garden villa with the spare key that Grandpa Wang and Grandma Liu left for him before leaving the capital.

"Study, a blue book in the middle of the third row from top to bottom on the second bookshelf..."

Sui Yu thought silently and pushed open the simple wooden door of the old couple's study.

This is his first time here alone.
