He was obviously drunk. If he had not been drunk, how could such a strong person reveal his past misfortunes?
Even when she was Ruan Bai, she had never seen his weakness.
"I often wonder what I would be like now if Ruicheng had been born earlier," Mu Shaoling said in a low voice.
Back then, it was Cai Xiufen who was unable to conceive a child, so Zhang Yali retrieved him from the orphanage and brought him to Mr. Mu to recognize his ancestor.
If Mu Ruicheng had been there at that time, he would not have returned to the Mu family.
By then, he may have grown up in an orphanage, never knowing who his parents are or why he was abandoned in the orphanage.
Or perhaps, he will be adopted and grow up in a strange family, still not knowing where his roots are.
"Even if you are not in the Mu family, you will become an outstanding person." Nian Mu put her hand on his chest and let him hold it.
Other successful people may achieve success by beating others at the starting line.
But Mu Shaoling, she knew he was not.
Even if he has an ordinary start in a crowded society, he will make a career with his talent and hard work.
Even though it will be difficult, he is never afraid and can adapt to hard work and tiredness.
These were not given by the Mu family.
"How do you know?" Mu Shaoling raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Because you are that kind of person. Even if you throw away all the halo, you can still make people look up to you." Nian Mu whispered in a gentle tone.
She had always looked up to Mu Shaoling, not because he was from the Mu family, but because he had talents that were beyond her reach.
Nian Mu still remembers that when he founded Huazhu, when he encountered Party A, no matter how troublesome it was, and the design drawing could not be modified no matter how hard it was, as long as Mu Shaoling helped, the design drawing could satisfy Party A.
No one can design a design that satisfies Party A 100% of the time, but he did it.
These are not made by the Mu family.
"What about you?" Mu Shaoling asked.
"Huh?" Nianmu looked at him and noticed that the blush on his face seemed to have faded.
Maybe the alcohol has worn off a bit.
"Will you look up to me?" Mu Shaoling asked.
"Yes." Nianmu gave him a positive answer, and added in his heart: "She has always been looking up to him."
"I don't want you to look up to me, but I hope you can look at me as equals." Mu Shaoling said, turned over and fell asleep on his side facing her, still holding her hand tightly.
"It's very late, let's rest." Nianmu looked at his face. Even when he was lying down, he was still so handsome. When people looked directly at him, he couldn't help but want to kiss him.
She lowered her eyes and suppressed her body's impulse.
Mu Shaoling said nothing and his breathing gradually became calmer.
Nianmu tried to pull out her hand, but he held it tightly. If she moved a little, he seemed to be able to notice it and put her hand on her chest.
It was like a silent rally. When she moved, he would move too, and there was a tendency to wake up at any time.
Nianmu had no choice but to give up pulling out her hand and let him hold her, planning to wait until he fell into a deep sleep before leaving.
Looking at his face and between her noses, there was his breath, mixed with the smell of alcohol, which was not unpleasant. At the same time, it made her a little drunk.
Nianmu yawned softly.
By Mu Shaoling's side, she seemed to be able to find a way to sleep peacefully, which was more effective than homemade sleeping pills.
She is very sleepy and wants to sleep...
But when his hand was held, Nianmu thought about it and decided to lie down beside the bed for a while.
After Mu Shaoling fell into a deep sleep, she went back to the bedroom to rest.
Nianmu thought about it, then lay down on the edge of the bed and closed his eyes.
This sleeping position was not comfortable, but next to Mu Shaoling, she once again fell asleep just like she did on airplanes and high-speed trains.
Mu Shaoling opened his eyes and looked at Nian Mu's sleeping face.
She couldn't pull out her hand, and she didn't leave cruelly. Instead, she chose to lie here and fall asleep with her.
His heart felt warm.
Nianmu...
Mu Shaoling listened to Nian Mu's steady breathing and looked at her for half an hour. At this moment, the drunkenness in his eyes was gone, and all that was left was his deep love for her.
It was only at these times that he could feel calm, without worrying that she would leave him. The peace and solidity in his heart made him feel full.
Mu Shaoling loosened his hand slightly.
Nian Mu did not wake up, and still kept the same position lying on the bedside.
The corners of Mu Shaoling's lips raised, his eyes full of endearment.
He got out of bed and gently held Nianmu in his arms.
"Well..." The moment he was picked up, Nianmu let out a vague hum, as if he felt that his posture was changing uncontrollably, but he did not wake up.
Mu Shaoling carefully put Nian Mu on the bed and covered her with a quilt.
Looking at the woman sleeping peacefully on the bed, he couldn't help but sleep on the bed.
Mu Shaoling just wants to hold Nianmu and sleep.
Thinking about it, he got into bed from another place. As soon as he covered himself with the quilt, Nian Mu felt the heat in his body and took the initiative to approach Mu Shaoling, even placing a hand on his waist.
The smile on Mu Shaoling's lips deepened.
Looking at Nian Mu with her head buried in his chest, Mu Shaoling also put his hands on her waist and hugged her to sleep.
One night is not long.
But Mu Shaoling had a comfortable sleep. When he opened his eyes, he looked at the woman in his arms. He had not slept so comfortably in a long time.
Sure enough, she must be in his life.
Therefore, no matter what, he will not let Nian Mu leave this time.
Mu Shaoling hugged her tighter, feeling the urge to lock her into his bones.
Feeling the power from the outside world, Nian Mu's eyelids trembled slightly, and his eyelashes also trembled, as if he was about to wake up.
Mu Shaoling quickly closed his eyes, cautiously, like a child.
If Nian Mu found out that he had woken up before she woke up, she would be shocked inside, not knowing how to face it, and even thinking of escaping.
Therefore, he could only continue to pretend to sleep.
Nianmu slowly opened her eyes and saw the strong chest in front of her. She was stunned there.
The person sleeping next to her is Mu Shaoling...
Even without raising her head to confirm, she knew it by smelling the familiar scent.
Thinking of what happened last night, she just wanted to sleep on the edge of the bed for a while. Why did she suddenly fall asleep on the bed?
Did she climb up by herself? Or was it Mu Shaoling who carried her up?
The warmth belonging to Mu Shaoling came from her chest, and Nian Mu's face was flushed. She tried to remember, but she didn't know how she climbed into bed last night.
Moreover, her hand was still on Mu Shaoling's waist...
Touching the hot skin, Nian Mu immediately retracted his hand.
