Chapter 398: Husband is in trouble, son is in trouble
Gu Xiyan recalled the process of meeting Xu Yanqing, and thought that Zhou Mu must have met Xu Yanqing when he went to the deserted house.
"We bumped into each other by chance." Gu Xiyan replied weakly, not daring to look at Zhou Mu.
Zhou Mu looked at her guilty look and knew there was something wrong with it.
"Master Zhao is with Xu Yanqing. Why has Xu Yanqing seen you but Master Zhao has never seen you? Tell me why?!" Zhou Mu found out the problem after careful consideration.
Gu Xiyan didn't expect Zhou Mu's logical ability to be so strong.
At that time, Zhao Qingqi also saw her back, but he was in a hurry to rush to the deserted house and had no time to talk to her. Xu Yanqing, on the other hand, had fiery eyes and recognized her as Mr. Yan whom he had met in Jixiang Building. He chased after her when he saw her
After looking around, Xu Yanqing discovered that Mr. Yan was her.
That's the problem.
The serious concern of "Mr. Yan" has disappeared. There is no need for her to tell Zhou Mu that she is Mr. Yan.
"Mr. Zhao was busy on the road at that time and didn't see me. However, Mr. Xu saw my back and came over to say a few words to me." Gu Xiyan replied ambiguously.
She didn't lie, it was the truth after all.
"Even now, you still don't want to tell me the truth?" Of course Zhou Mu also saw that the matter was not as simple as she said, but she just didn't want to tell her.
"I'm not lying. I really met Mr. Xu by chance on the road. After saying a few words, I went back."
As soon as Gu Xiyan finished speaking, Zhou Mu walked away without looking back.
She knew she was in the wrong and hurriedly chased her out, "Where are you going, husband?"
"If I don't want to see you, stay away from me!" Zhou Mu said without looking back.
Gu Xiyan didn't want to. He was angry, and she was the culprit. She had to be responsible for coaxing him to prevent him from sulking alone and getting anxious.
"Then I'll stay away." Sure enough, Gu Xiyan took two steps away from him, but always followed him a few steps away.
Zhou Mu didn't expect that Gu Xiyan would be so dishonest. He turned back to look at her and saw her immediately giving him a flattering smile: "Young Master, don't pay attention to me. I'm afraid that Young Master will be unhappy, so I have to stay close by to keep my peace of mind.
”
Zhou Mu looked at her steadily for a while, then turned and walked away.
Seeing that he no longer chased her away, Gu Xiyan followed him calmly.
Now she just hopes that Mr. Yan's matter will be over, as long as Zhou Xing knows that there is no more Mr. Yan in this world.
She was worried that if Dali Temple dug deeper, if the identity of the death row prisoner was found out and spread to Zhou Xing's ears, her work today would be in vain.
Zhou Mu walked forward casually in the house, while Gu Xiyan followed diligently behind him, asking him from time to time if he was tired or thirsty, full of servility.
He was obviously still angry with her, but when he saw her attentive look, the frustration in his heart inexplicably subsided a lot.
But this time he doesn't intend to forgive her easily.
Gu Xiyan also knew that Mr. Zhou was very angry this time. A person who was usually very kind to her would not be able to show his face to her unless he was extremely angry.
As long as it can calm him down, she can do anything.
If it didn't work out, she could make another set of clothes like the one she had on her birthday. He tore the clothes last time, but he seemed to like them very much.
While she was thinking about it, Zhou Mu suddenly looked back at her, and she immediately gave him a sweet smile: "May I ask what your husband has ordered?"
Zhou Mu snorted lightly.
She is a capable husband if she is in trouble and a son if nothing is wrong.
Gu Xiyan caught up two steps and said with a sweet smile: "What do you want to eat, husband? How about I cook something delicious for you? Why don't you eat sweets? Sweets will make you feel better."
Zhou Mu coldly threw back her words: "No need!"
When she went to cook and asked her to do the heavy work, it wasn't him who felt distressed? Why bother!
Gu Xiyan only said that he was not interested in food, so she did not force him.
"Then what do you want, can I find it for you?" Gu Xiyan asked sincerely.
Zhou Mu glanced at her briefly, ignored her, and walked directly to Zuimo Pavilion.
Gu Xiyan immediately followed her, asking for words: "Husband, you haven't had lunch yet? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare lunch and bring it over. If you want to eat anything, just tell the cook."<
/p>
Zhou Mu was so angry with her that he didn't feel hungry at all. He really couldn't figure out why they were so close and she still wanted to hide something from him.
Is it because he didn't do well enough that she didn't trust him?
Even though the husband and wife are one, she is still guarding him. This is what worries him the most.
Seeing that Zhou Mu was silent, Gu Xiyan quietly stepped forward and took a look. Seeing that he pursed his thin lips tightly, she knew that he was still angry.
"No matter how angry your husband is, you still have to take care of yourself. I'll let others pass the meal first. It's important that your husband eats first." Gu Xiyan coaxed her in a good voice.
Qiushi and Hu Die were not far away, and she told Qiushi to have the meals brought to Zuimo Pavilion.
When Gu Xiyan went to Zuimo Pavilion, she saw only one sharp-faced maid taking a nap here. She frowned slightly as she looked at the maid, dissatisfied that the maid was dozing off during duty hours.
After entering Zui Mo Pavilion, she saw Zhou Mu taking out the file of Suzhou's corruption case five years ago. She reminded: "Husband, you should be more careful. Such an important case should be placed in a more private place. Just now, he was outside.
The serving maid looked surprised. Since the Zuimo Pavilion holds important cases, your husband should send his own people to guard the Zuimo Pavilion."
Zhou Mu glanced at her: "I don't need you to bother me."
In fact, this is not an important case. There is no one guarding the Zuimo Pavilion because he will not put important files here. If he does, it is just a bait to lure the snake out of its hole.
Gu Xiyan curled her lips.
Well, pretend she didn’t say it.
Qiushi worked very quickly, and soon he brought someone to deliver the meal.
After the meal was set, the others withdrew with a tacit understanding, leaving only Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu.
In the past, Zhou Mu would serve Gu Xiyan with food during meals. Looking back, Xiyan naturally took over the task of serving food. She thought it was good. He didn't give her the chance to serve Gu Xiyan before, but today she just happened to do it.
You can repay him a favor or two.
She carefully laid out the food for him, and whenever his eyes glanced at any dish, she would immediately put it in his bowl.
Zhou Mu couldn't stand the way she was being so submissive, but he liked that she was all about him, which made him feel that he was very important in her heart.
This thought flashed across his mind, and he felt more and more that he had no future.
"I'm full." Zhou Mu just spoke and saw Gu Xiyan also put down her bowl and chopsticks.
He frowned slightly: "You eat all the remaining food, don't waste it!"
She was feeding him the whole time, and she didn't eat a few mouthfuls. She was already thin, but she didn't eat. How could she gain weight?
Gu Xiyan was worried that he would leave while she was eating, so she hesitated.
Zhou Mu simply sat back down and said concisely: "Eat!"

Haha, as expected, whoever loves more will become soft-hearted easily.
