"Go away." Mu Qian said, "Don't come to us after you leave."
Although Huo Qiran was extremely adaptable to the new environment, he still felt particularly safe when meeting people he had been close to before. Therefore, as soon as he heard that Lu Yuan was leaving, he immediately stood up and stepped forward to hold Lu Yuan's hand.
"Aunt Yuanyuan..." He called her in a low voice, blinking his watery eyes with a pitiful look.
Seeing him like this, Lu Yuan really couldn't be cruel no matter what. He paused and could only nod silently.
However, although Lu Yuan agreed to have dinner together, he still had little communication with Rong Heng. He was always with Huo Qiran, showing him the clothes and gifts she brought him.
Rong Heng sat next to him and watched quietly, his eyes almost unabashedly falling on Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan didn't even look at him for a long time.
Rong Heng was obviously a little anxious and couldn't help but walk outside the door and light a cigarette for himself.
Mu Qian went to her neighbor's house for a walk, and when she came back, she happened to see him standing at the door smoking, with a deep frown on his face.
Seeing Rong Heng like this, Mu Qian felt funny in her heart. When Rong Heng saw her gloating about her misfortune, he couldn't help but glare at her again.
"Oh, you're still staring at me?" Mu Qian said, "Shouldn't you say thank you to me? If my son and I hadn't spoken, would Yuanyuan have stayed?"
After hearing this, Rong Heng still didn't give her a good look.
Mu Qian snorted, "Okay, I must have misunderstood. It turns out you don't want her to stay? Then I'll drive her away right now."
After hearing this, Rong Heng stretched out his hand to hold her, and Mu Qian couldn't help but laugh.
"What's going on?" Mu Qian asked, "Did I not know what happened between the two of you? I remember you didn't like her before. This time you came to Huai City specifically for her?
"
"I said, I'm here on a business trip." Rong Heng said.
"Okay, feel free to be tough." Mu Qian said, "Since you won't say anything, don't blame me for not helping you when the time comes."
After saying that, she was about to enter the house, but Rong Heng held her back again.
Mu Qian thought he was finally going to say something, but unexpectedly Rong Heng opened her mouth and asked, "Why did Qi Ran call her aunt?"
Mu Qian paused suddenly, then said the next moment: "She has a close relationship with me. My son can call her whatever he likes. Do you want to take care of this too?"
"Can she have a close relationship with you like Ye Xi?" Rong Heng said, "When you mentioned Ye Xi to Qi Ran, you just called her aunt."
Mu Qian snorted, folded her arms and didn't answer.
With Rong Heng's sense of smell as a detective, he didn't notice anything wrong until now, which shows that he was really disgusted with Lu Yuan before.
But the more this happens, the more interesting his current attitude is.
"It's just a title, don't worry about it so much." Mu Qian said, "Besides, this shouldn't be your concern right now, right?"
Rong Heng listened and looked at her quietly for a moment without saying anything else.
Indeed, at this stage, the relationship between Mu Qian and Lu Yuan is not important to him.
And all he focused on was--
Rong Heng was about to speak when the door opened and Lu Yuan led Huo Qiran out. He glanced at the two words in front of him calmly and said slowly: "Qi Ran said he was hungry."
"Ah, let's go then." Mu Qian said, "Let's go and eat hot pot!"
Rong Heng glanced at Lu Yuan again, but never said anything.
Because of Mu Qian and Huo Qiran, Rong Heng never had the chance to say anything to Lu Yuan after finishing the meal.
However, Mu Qian didn't have the slightest sense of being a hindrance. She kept dragging Lu Yuan along and chatted endlessly, almost completely ignoring Rong Heng.
It wasn't until the end of lunch, when he paid the bill and left, that Mu Qian finally felt his conscience and said to Lu Yuan, "Don't you want to go back to work? Let Rong Heng see you off."
Rong Heng had always been in low spirits, but when he heard these words, he suddenly raised his head.
"No need." Lu Yuan said, "I can just take a taxi. Mr. Rong is also here on a business trip. I'm not familiar with the place, so why bother him."
After hearing this, Rong Heng said calmly: "My grandpa's home is in Huai City. I grew up here, so I am very familiar with Huai City."
Lu Yuan's face condensed slightly.
Mu Qian laughed out loud without concealing it, "That's just right. You send Yuanyuan to work. If you still have time in the evening, send her to my place and we can have dinner together.
"
Rong Heng didn't say anything after hearing this. He just glanced at Lu Yuan and said, "Let's go, I'll see you off."
Lu Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Qian. Finally, without saying anything, he stood up and left with Rong Heng.
Mu Qian led Huo Qiran and looked at the two people's retreating figures, always looking like they were looking for a good show.
"Does Uncle Heng like Aunt Yuanyuan?" Huo Qiran asked.
When Mu Qian heard this, she couldn't help laughing again.
She didn't know whether she liked it or not.
But there is definitely some dispute between the two of them.
Rong Heng specially chased him to Huai City, and she had no reason not to help this straight man.
As for the specific situation in between, she just had to wait for one of them to take the initiative to tell her.
…
Rong Heng did not lie. Huai City was indeed his grandfather's home, and he had indeed grown up here. Therefore, he was familiar with all the areas and roads in the center of Huai City.
Lu Yuan sat in the passenger seat of his car, watching him expertly turn around without saying a word.
"You still refuse to say it, do you?" After a short silence, Rong Heng finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke to break the suffocating air.
After Lu Yuan heard this, a hint of helplessness seemed to flash in his eyes, "I've already said it, but you don't believe it yourself..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the stereo in Rong Heng's car suddenly jumped to a song that both of them were very familiar with——
"Take advantage of the quiet place at night to look at the stars in the sky alone. The stars remain unchanged every night, and they shine brightly every night..."
Lu Yuan: "..."
Rong Heng's expression suddenly changed, and then he said: "Then how do you explain this song?"
"What a coincidence." Lu Yuan said, "This song is so classic, so many people like it, and I happen to be one of them, just like you -"
"Then why have you been avoiding me since that day?"
Lu Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "Because I am self-aware. Officer Rong, I don't know your attitude towards me. I know that I am hated by others, so why should I appear in front of you and ask for trouble?"
Woolen cloth?"
"You..." Rong Heng choked suddenly, and then said, "I don't hate you..."
"Oh." Lu Yuan responded lightly and said, "That's my honor."
Rong Heng almost vomited blood from her cold and indifferent attitude, and almost made up his mind not to talk to her anymore, but after a moment, he couldn't help but said: "That night, was it you?"
"No." Lu Yuan answered simply and clearly.
The car happened to stop in front of a traffic light. Rong Heng turned to look at her for a long time, and finally nodded slowly, as if accepting his fate, "Okay."
He said nothing or asked anything, and silently drove the car to the door of the hotel where Lu Yuan lived.
Lu Yan quickly unbuckled his seat belt, turned around and said "thank you" to him, then opened the door and got out of the car.
Rong Heng sat in the driver's seat and never looked at her.
Lu Yuan closed the car door and walked directly into the hotel.
When her figure entered the revolving door, Rong Heng couldn't help turning his head and looked at her back.
Although she tried her best to deny it, he always found a way to find out whether it was her that night seven years ago!
…
Back in the courtyard, Mu Qian played with Huo Qiran for a while. Soon it was time for Huo Qiran to take a nap, and he lay on the bed and fell asleep peacefully.
Mu Qian was sitting alone on the sofa, browsing the news on her iPad, and waiting for something.
Sure enough, about forty minutes later, there was a knock on the door of her room again.
Mu Qian immediately put down the tablet in her hand, stepped forward to open the door, and looked at the person in front of her with a smile, "Have you finished sending Yuanyuan off?"
Rong Heng stood at the door, looking at her with a somewhat gloomy look.
As soon as she saw him like this, Mu Qian knew that he had hit a wall. Thinking about it, it was strange that Lu Yuan's indifferent temperament could allow him to succeed so easily.
Because Huo Qiran was sleeping, the two of them sat down at the stone table in the yard.
Mu Qian specially prepared melon and fruit scented tea, showing a professional attitude as a melon-eater.
As soon as he sat down, Mu Qian coughed up melon seeds and said to Rong Heng, "Let's get started."
Rong Heng couldn't help but glared at her again before finally speaking: "I suspect that she is someone I met seven years ago -"
"Seven years ago?" Mu Qian frowned slightly, "Is it so long ago?"
Rong Heng nodded and said: "Seven years ago, just after I graduated from the police academy, I was spotted by my superiors and took over an undercover mission."
Mu Qian suddenly raised her eyebrows, becoming even more interested.
At that time, Rong Heng was just starting out and fearless. He was sent by his superiors to infiltrate a rather vicious gang to collect evidence of the other party's crime.
In such a group, the more eye-catching you are, the easier it is to rise to the top.
Rong Heng is well versed in this, so although he started from the bottom, he has his own way of doing things, so he quickly rose to the top of the gang and rose to the top at an extremely fast speed.
However, he was young and had little qualifications, so it was inevitable that he would arouse resentment, and thus he made many enemies invisibly.
There were many people who made things difficult for him, and he was able to detect or avoid most of them. But one time, he capsized in a gutter and was drugged in a bar.
Mu Qian's ears immediately perked up after hearing the story, "Such a low-level method?"
"Anyone who would use this method to punish people would naturally not be a high-ranking person." Rong Heng said.
"What happened after the medicine was administered?" Mu Qian said, "What kind of woman have been prepared for you?"
After hearing this, Rong Heng sneered and said, "It's a man."
The tea in Mu Qian's mouth suddenly choked down her throat, and she coughed horribly.
"I noticed it before I lost my mind and avoided this crisis." Rong Heng said, "But after that, I met a woman."
