Halfway through the meal, Mu Sijue answered the phone.
Xu Youning lowered his eyes slightly when he saw him getting up to pick him up.
She didn't take the initiative to listen, but a man's deep voice still reached her ears occasionally.
"Okay. Are you here? I understand. Wait outside. I'll be out in a moment."
When Mu Sijue came back after making the call, Xu Youning couldn't see any change on his face.
After dinner, Nian Nian went to find Mu Mu to play games. Xu Youning went upstairs and opened the door to see Mu Sijue changing clothes.
The man had just put on a black shirt and buttoned his chest in front of the mirror.
Xu Youning walked over lightly until she appeared in the mirror, standing side by side with Mu Sijue.
Mu Sijue had seen her a long time ago. His expression darkened and he said nothing.
Xu Youning turned around and tied the buttons one by one for him.
She never asked what he wanted to do.
"Kiss me."
Mu Sijue's pupils suddenly shrank, "You Ning?"
Xu Youning held his face with both hands and gently pressed his forehead against his.
She lowered her voice and said, "Okay? Just kiss me."
Who would have thought that Xu Youning would say such a thing?
He thought that Xu Youning would not talk to him tonight, but what he said at first was such love words that it was difficult to control.
Mu Sijue's breathing sank, and he put his hands around her waist. Xu Youning took half a step forward, raised his head and kissed him.
Mu Sijue's kiss was hot and gentle. Xu Youning's palm holding his face moved back a little, and finally his arms tightened around the man's neck.
Xu Youning traces his lip line, the time is so slow that it is mesmerizing.
When Xu Youning backed away, she gently held his lapel with her small hands. Half serious and half solemn, she pulled him to her and said firmly, "Si Jue, I'll wait for you to come back tonight."
Musijue's eyes became darker and darker, "Don't worry, I will be back soon."
Xu Youning took the man's coat and went downstairs with Mu Sijue. When Mu Sijue walked to the door, Xu Youning gave him the coat.
Mu Sijue put on his coat and when he was about to get in the car, Xu Youning followed him and held him back.
"Si Jue, I'm waiting for you to come back safely."
Mu Sijue's eyes darkened slightly, he said a kind word, touched Xu Youning's face lightly, kissed her on the cheek, turned around and got in the car.
Xu Youning could be seen standing in the reversing mirror. She waited there. When Mu Sijue looked over, she touched her lips with her hand, and her eyes became firm.
Mu Sijue received a call from Shen Yuechuan and the car had already left the villa.
Shen Yuechuan asked on the other end, "Are you out?"
"Um."
"I still don't agree with you going. Can't we wait for Bo Yan to come back and make a long-term plan?"
"If Kangruicheng places another person beside us, and I suddenly travel this time, people who shouldn't know will naturally be exposed."
This was also one of the reasons Mu Sijue used to persuade Su Yicheng. Kang Ruicheng acted surly and had placed Xu Youning beside him in the past. Although he was found out, it did not mean that he would not place an informant again.
He went to the research institute this time to find out what was true and to see what Kang Ruicheng was really capable of.
"What did you tell You Ning? Dinner? Business trip?"
"I didn't say it, but she probably guessed it."
Xu Youning knew him so well that he could understand him with just one look, and there was no need to speak between them at all.
Shen Yuechuan was convinced, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to pick you up. Keep your phone on and keep in touch at any time."
"Do you know what I hope for most now?" Musijue said before hanging up the phone.
Shen Yuechuan was shocked, "Don't do this nonsense."
"What I hope most is that when I get to the institute, I can see Kang Rui
The city himself."
"Sijue, don't get too close!"
Mu Sijue's eyes became sharp and cold. He didn't listen to Shen Yuechuan's continued words and ended the call.
Since he made a special trip late at night, Kang Ruicheng had better not let him down too much.
A remote mountain village.
Diana hadn't eaten much all day.
She was locked in a small room with only four walls and one door. The room had no windows, and the old lights overhead made the place look dark and cold.
Someone walked to the door, opened the small window on the door, and handed in a piece of food.
"Have a meal."
"Go away! Just give me something like this. Is Kang Ruicheng still a human being?"
"If you don't want to eat, keep your mouth shut."
The person speaking outside was one of Kangruicheng's men, responsible for guarding Diana.
Diana had hardly eaten in the past two days and was so hungry that she felt dizzy.
"I want to see Kang Ruicheng."
"Brother Cheng is not something you can just see if you want."
"I am his guest. I have what he wants most. Why should he treat me like this?"
"You said it yourself, you are very important to Brother Cheng." The subordinate outside looked indifferent, "So, locking you up is the easiest way."
Diana kicked the door, but it was no deterrent.
This room is just like a prison!
The person outside was about to leave, but Diana hurriedly opened the door and called out to him, "Wait a minute, I want to eat something else."
There was no response from the people outside. Diana said, "Give me a piece of paper, I'll write it down and you can check it. I don't know the Chinese word for that thing, but I just want to eat that thing now."
…
"I'm going to go on a hunger strike to death. I'll see how you do your job!"
After Diana finished speaking, the small window was closed with a bang, and there was only a series of leaving footsteps outside.
Diana cursed and leaned against the wall. Unexpectedly, after a while, a man returned to the door.
A hand from outside opened the small window and handed in paper and pen. Diana grabbed the man's wrist in disgust.
Diana grabbed the pen and plunged it into the subordinate's arm, and there were people outside wailing.
Diana pressed harder, "Open the door for me!"
The door opened.
Diana ran out and ran along the dim corridor to the end. It was like a maze and she couldn't tell the direction!
Diana saw a shadow of a person suddenly appeared on the ground, and she screamed in fright and turned her head.
One of the men stood in front of her expressionlessly and took her back.
"Brother Cheng has told me that if you want to escape, I will give you a taste of the good things you brought yourself."
"Go away, if you touch me, I will kill you!"
The hand expressionlessly injected the liquid into Diana's body.
…
Villa in Wales.
At the dining table, Tang Tiantian was concentrating on eating. Wells was halfway through eating with her when several of his men hurried back from outside.
"Duke of Wales." Several people said in low voices.
"Didn't I tell you to find someone?" Wells raised his head and looked at his men, with a cold look in the corner of his eyes.
"You asked us to find Miss Diana's whereabouts, but we met Mrs. Charlie's people halfway."
Wells chewed the steak slowly, swiping the knife and fork on the exquisitely crafted plate in his hand.
Sometimes, Tang Tiantian felt that he was like a leopard that was dormant and ready to go. That power was hidden so deeply that it was not easily seen by outsiders.
"What did she do?" Wells asked.
One of his subordinates sent one of them and said, "She drove all your people back. We didn't agree to it at first, but she threatened to let you make it clear to the old Duke directly.
Why are you hindering her from doing things?"
"What does she do?"
Another person said: "Of course Mrs. Charlie won't tell us, but we checked on the way back. She should have gone to a private club."
"She has a good reason!"
Wells sneered.
Wells put the cut steak on Tang Tiantian's plate. Tang Tiantian was eating quietly. She thought to herself that she could just be a little transparent when he was talking about business, but suddenly she became a stranger.
The focus of everyone's attention.
Tang Tiantian's little face turned red instantly, "Don't worry about me, let's talk about business first..."
"Have you eaten yet?" Wells suddenly asked in a soft voice.
Tang Tiantian almost coughed and immediately shook her head. She still had a piece of beef in her mouth.
Wells thought she was an interesting woman more than once. Tang Tiantian's face turned red when she was asked, had she eaten too much?
After all, it is not a good thing for girls to eat too much. She quickly picked up the water at hand and took a sip.
Cough, cough, cough.
The man next to him immediately lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Duke of Wales, for disturbing your meal."
"Come on, keep talking."
"yes."
Wells stood up and walked to the side, picked up the cigarette case on the cabinet, took out a cigarette and turned to look at Tang Tiantian.
Tang Tiantian looked back secretly, but he caught her right when she turned around.
"..."
Tang Tiantian blushed and sat back upright. Her ears heard him talking before leaving the restaurant with his men.
"Mrs. Charlie has been going to that club these days, accompanied by the bodyguards she brought back from country y."
The implication of his subordinate's words was too obvious. Tang Tiantian thought about the scene she saw that night and shook her head.
Mrs. Charlie is really...a mess in her private life.
After dinner, Tang Tiantian sat on the sofa in the living room.
Miss Moss saw her sitting in a daze and turned on the TV for her.
Scenes from the TV series flashed before Tang Tiantian's eyes, but she didn't look into them.
"Miss Moss, have you been Wells' housekeeper for many years?"
"Yes, Miss Tang."
"Has Mrs. Charles known Welles before?"
Tang Tiantian concentrated on watching Miss Moss who was turning on the TV, and suddenly asked.
Miss Moss paused, turned around, and slowly retreated.
"What did Miss Tang want to ask?" Miss Moss replied with a respectful attitude. She answered Tang Tiantian without any ambiguity, "Mrs. Charlie is married to Mr. Wells's father and Mr. Wells."
Of course we know each other."
"Did they meet because of Wells' father?" Tang Tiantian asked strangely.
Miss Moss didn't understand what Tang Tiantian knew, so she sincerely replied, "Yes."
Tang Tiantian frowned slightly, "Then why are they at odds?"
"There is no discord between Mr. Wells and Mrs. Charlie." Miss Moss smiled, shook her head, and said seriously, "Both Mr. Wells and Mrs. Charlie have devoted a lot of energy to this family. In the Wells family, there is mutual respect for each other."
It's just that they can't agree on certain things, which makes Miss Tang laugh."
Tang Tiantian looked puzzled, could this be a true portrayal of a noble?
Is the wealthy family as deep as the sea?
Tang Tiantian opened her mouth. She had never been exposed to these things. Wells should be the first noble she met, and the threshold for her contact was too high. She was the Duke of Country Y...
"Miss Tang can't understand?"
"I don't think they are helping each other at all." Tang Tiantian's eyes showed doubts, "Which thing about Mrs. Charlie is not aimed at Wells?"
