At around six o'clock in the evening, Mo Yurou and Xiao Zichen met Mu Jinghao's father, Mu Zhiqiang, a very dignified but kind elder.
"Uncle Mu, long time no see."
After meeting, Mo Yurou greeted her cordially. Mu Zhiqiang had not seen Mo Yurou for many years. When he saw her, he was a little confused. Then he stepped forward and gave Mo Yurou a gentle hug and sighed.
"Girl, we haven't seen each other for six or seven years. You've become more and more beautiful as you grow older. You really look like your mother when she was young."
When Mu Zhiqiang said this, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"Uncle Mu, this is my husband, Xiao Zichen from Sino-Ocean Group."
"Hello, Director Mu. I've seen you for a long time. Please take care of me when we meet you for the first time."
Xiao Zichen looked at the majestic man in front of him. He was full of righteousness, especially the burning light in his eyes. He was righteous and awe-inspiring, and his aura immediately intimidated the entire audience.
"It's obvious. Since you are this girl's husband, you should call me Uncle Mu like him. Young man, you have to be nice to our Mo girl. If you dare to bully her, I won't forgive you.
.”
Mu Zhiqiang took the initiative to close the distance between himself and Xiao Zichen. Looking at the mature and steady man in front of him, he felt reluctant to marry his daughter.
Xiao Zichen was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the high-ranking person in front of him would take such caring care of Mo Yurou without any official pretensions.
"Okay, how long do you plan to stand here? Come and sit down quickly. Let's chat while we eat."
Mu Jinghao, who was on the side, saw his father dragging Mo Yurou around asking questions. He was so impatient that he could only remind him.
Mu Zhiqiang swept his cold eyes and said.
"You brat, it's rare for me to see Yu Rou. I'm not allowed to chat with her for a while longer."
"Father……"
Being told by his father in front of Mo Yurou and his wife, Mu Jinghao suddenly felt very embarrassed. Seeing this, Mo Yurou smiled slightly and spoke to resolve the embarrassment.
"Uncle Mu, let's sit down and chat slowly. We haven't seen each other for so many years. Uncle Mu takes good care of himself and is still very angry when he teaches Jing Hao a lesson."
"Hey, I'm not angry with this kid. Uncle, I just envy your parents. I have such a sensible, obedient and full-fledged daughter like you. It's not like him who causes trouble for me all the time."
Being rejected without reservation by his father, Mu Jinghao has given up struggling. Anyway, he has been living with his father's beatings for so many years, and he has long since developed a strong and invulnerable heart.
After some joking, the atmosphere in the box became familiar and lively.
One night, they just chatted about common things, and no one mentioned Shen Peiqiang's matter. The four of them didn't leave until after nine o'clock in the evening. Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou sent Mu Jinghao and his son to the parking lot before returning to the room.
"Honey, I'm going to see Shen Peiqiang tomorrow. Have you thought clearly?"
Back in the room, the two of them were lying on the bed. Xiao Zichen thought about what they had discussed and hesitated a little. He felt that Mo Yurou was too soft-hearted.
Mo Yurou leaned sideways, resting her head on Xiao Zichen's arm. She rubbed her hand back and forth on Xiao Zichen's chest, and when she heard Xiao Zichen's words, she smiled lightly.
"Well, just think of it as repaying Zhou Meiqian's kindness for saving our mother. I believe Shen Leyi will not affect us anymore."
After hearing what Mo Yurou said, Xiao Zichen kissed Mo Yurou's forehead and said softly.
"Honey, I find that you have changed a lot."
"Really? Then do you like me now or me before."
Mo Yurou also felt that her mentality had slowly changed. After having a child, her heart was not as cold as before, or she felt a little more measured when making decisions.
As soon as Mo Yurou finished speaking, Xiao Zichen turned over, pressed Mo Yurou under him, and said with hot eyes.
"As long as it's you, I like it."
After saying that, Xiao Zichen kissed Mo Yurou's pink lips.
After a while, the temperature of the room rose, and the sounds of gasping and low roaring merged into a melodious piece of music, filling the warm room with a charming atmosphere.
At this time, downstairs in a luxury apartment in Kyoto, Mu Jinghao returned to his own place after sending his father back to his residence. As soon as he parked the car and was about to go upstairs, a figure rushed out of the building, Mu Jinghao. Jing Hao was slightly startled.
"Shen Leyi?"
On the first day Shen Leyi returned to Kyoto, Mu Jinghao received the news. Three days ago, Zhou Meiqian took the initiative to find him and talked about the marriage contract between the two families.
However, Shen Leyi had already expressed her rejection of this marriage when she came back from abroad two years ago. However, Shen Peiqiang insisted at that time, and the Mu family did not give a clear answer.
In fact, Mu Jinghao is not a person who makes things difficult for others. He admitted that he was very obsessed with Shen Leyi for a period of time. At that time, when Shen Peiqiang took the initiative to propose a marriage between the two families, it was Mu Jinghao who agreed and his parents agreed. .
But since Shen Leyi once again denied the marriage in public after returning from abroad, the infatuation in Mu Jinghao's heart gradually faded away.
Originally, for a family like theirs, marriage was just a means to consolidate their status, and love was just a rare spice in this marriage of profit. However, Shen Leyi enjoyed the honor and favor that her status brought to her, but she never thought about it. These things are not something you are born with.
But now, after regaining consciousness, Shen Leyi wanted to save her life, but in the end she missed the best opportunity. After the two families made a marriage contract, Shen Leyi challenged Mu Jinghao's bottom line again and again. Mu Jinghao, for the sake of the family's interests, She was given opportunities again and again, but after all, people's patience is limited, not to mention that the Shen family now has no so-called benefits.
Shen Leyi never thought that one day she would humble herself and beg the man in front of her. Even though she had never loved this man in her heart, her mother was right. Only this man could give her the same glory as before. .
Thinking of this, Shen Leyi's heart became even more determined. She walked up to Mu Jinghao and lowered her posture in a rare way.
"Jinghao, I have something to ask you."
Mu Jinghao knew exactly what could happen if Shen Leyi appeared at this time. He smiled coldly and said calmly.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me. It's getting late, and it's not safe for a girl like you to come out in the middle of the night."
When Shen Leyi heard this, she took another step forward and her voice was louder than before.
"Jinghao, you care about me, don't you?"
At this moment, Mu Jinghao really wanted to split this woman's brain open and see what was inside. She had no idea how fake the expression on her face was.
"Miss Shen, you are overthinking it. I just don't want to cause trouble for myself. If Miss Shen is here just to confirm whether I still care about you, then I think you can leave."
After saying that, Mu Jinghao walked towards the elevator, but after taking only two steps, Shen Leyi caught up with him.
"Jinghao, can we go upstairs and talk."
Saying that, Shen Leyi boldly reached out and took hold of Mu Jinghao's arm.
In the dim corridor, Mu Jinghao did not miss the shy but disgusted expression on Shen Leyi's face. He saw a coldness flashing at the corner of his mouth and said coldly.
"Go up."
After saying that, the two people walked into the elevator.
Mu Jinghao's apartment is not very big, with a large living room, a bedroom with a study and a dressing room next to it, and an open kitchen. The stove in the kitchen looks like a new one, and you know that he doesn't usually cook. .
After entering, Mu Jinghao said calmly.
"Sit anywhere, what would you like to drink, tea or coffee?"
"Is there any wine? I'd like some red wine."
Shen Leyi opened her mouth and Mu Jinghao raised his lips slightly after hearing this. Then he walked to the bar, found a bottle of red wine, opened it, and then the two goblets came to the sofa.
Mu Jinghao chose a seat far away from Shen Leyi and sat down, then poured two glasses of red wine and placed one glass in front of Shen Leyi.
Shen Leyi took it and drank it in one gulp. It seemed that she wanted to use the wine to strengthen her courage.
Mu Jinghao held the red wine glass and shook the red wine in the glass to allow the red wine and air to fully contact and blend. Then he took a sip and said quietly.
"Miss Shen, can you tell me now why you came to me?"
"Jinghao, you should know everything about my father, right?"
Shen Leyi finally spoke, and Mu Jinghao listened, nodded, and said slightly comfortingly.
"I'm very sorry about Uncle Shen. The higher-ups are very determined this time. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Uncle Shen to escape this time. I also thought about helping Uncle Shen before, but unfortunately my ability is limited, and Uncle Shen committed a crime this time. The matter involves too much, so I can only say sorry."
"No, I'm not here to ask you to help my dad. I'm here to ask you, does our engagement still count?"
Sure enough, this Shen Leyi really did not disappoint Mu Jinghao, but his interest in this woman disappeared long ago when Shen Leyi announced the cancellation of the engagement.
Mu Jinghao asked pretending to be puzzled.
"Miss Shen, you personally denied our engagement two years ago. Although you and I have been in frequent contact recently, I believe you don't like me."
Mu Jinghao was not a fool, let alone a woman like Shen Leyi who couldn't hide her thoughts at all. How could he not understand.
It's a pity that Shen Leyi was too confident in her acting skills. She suddenly walked up to Mu Jinghao and said eagerly.
"No, Jinghao, I like you. I'm just not satisfied with my parents' arbitrary decisions, so they willfully deny our relationship. Jinghao, my father's affairs cannot be changed. I can only rely on him in the future. is you."
Saying that, Shen Leyi took the initiative to lean into Mu Jinghao's arms. Mu Jinghao just leaned on the sofa lazily, letting Shen Leyi get close to him, but he remained motionless, without any disturbance in his heart.
"Shen Leyi, do you think I can believe you? Your father had an accident, so you are eager to find another supporter. Indeed, I once liked you very much, but I am not stupid enough to believe what you said. "
With that said, Mu Jinghao gently pushed Shen Leyi away.
