At first, Cheng Lu thought it was Mu Cang who wanted to come in because he was restless.
The door locks have been changed.
Moreover, it was replaced with the most advanced equipment from the Haofeng Group. Mu Cang could not open it alone, so she closed her eyes and slept quietly, letting the sound outside the door keep ringing and not paying attention.
When she woke up the next morning, she sneered and mocked Mu Cang.
Mu Cang's face was full of confusion, and she didn't bother to ask more questions, so she took the time to do her own things.
Soon, she realized that things were different from what she thought, because for three consecutive nights, there was a rustling sound outside the door.
That night, the voice rang again, and Cheng Lu glanced at his phone.
Two twenty in the morning.
Is Mu Cang so free?
Staying up so late just to get into her room?
Thinking of this, she stood up quietly and walked to the door, leaning against the door panel and listening carefully.
In the dead of night, the sound is particularly clear.
She could hear the sound of someone walking gently outside, seemingly looking for something.
Cheng Lu thought about it and knocked on his door.
Tuk Tuk——
These two sounds were particularly abrupt in the quiet night.
The noise outside suddenly disappeared.
Cheng Lu: "What are you doing up so late and not sleeping? If this always affects my sleep, then my deal with you will be terminated and I will move back tomorrow."
After saying that, she listened carefully for a while and the voice really disappeared.
She shrugged and returned to bed.
The next morning, she got up very early, and Mu Cang was earlier than her.
There was a sumptuous breakfast on the dining table, which was made by Mu Cang himself.
Ever since she moved in, Mu Cang would prepare these for her every morning. In the first two days, Cheng Lu didn't appreciate it, but after seeing the food being wasted, she felt it was unnecessary. After all, she only lived for a month, so it would be useless if she didn't eat breakfast.
Don't eat.
She drank the milk quietly and suddenly said: "You go to bed so late, and you can still get up and exercise in the morning? You really have extraordinary physical strength."
"I didn't expect you to care about me so much, and you think I go to bed very late? Haha, in order to take care of the schedule of pregnant women, I go to bed at the same time as you. If you want to care about me, don't use such perfunctory reasons."
As he spoke, he winked at Cheng Lu.
Her heart sank: "You mean...you didn't leave the room last night?"
"Are you hinting at me?" His eyes darkened.
"Don't get me wrong." Cheng Lu's face darkened, and he was secretly frightened. "I've been living in your house for a few days, and I can hear the sound of someone moving outside almost every night. I thought it was you."
"I thought it was you..." Mu Cang narrowed his eyes.
The two looked at each other and quickly realized something was wrong.
Cheng Lu even felt hairy on his back.
If the person who got up at night was not Mu Cang or herself, it would prove that there was a third person in the house. Her eyes were panicked and she tried to calm down.
After a quick breakfast, they went out together.
Downstairs, Cheng Lu got into Gu Ci's car: "There are others in Mu Cang's family."
"who?"
"I don't know, it's so scary. They come out every night..."
If it weren't for broad daylight, Cheng Lu would really be scared.
Gu Ci frowned slightly: "If it's not safe, move out. Nothing is more important than your safety."
"Um."
In the morning, Mu Cang sent her a video message.
Inside was a picture of him having just sent someone to clean up and inspect the house.
As long as there was a place where someone could hide someone in Mu Cang's house, all the places in his home were opened and inspected, and no suspicious traces were found.
Mu Cang: "I also thought that some outsider got into my house, which scared me. Now that I have checked, you should be relieved. Don't be afraid to live in peace of mind. A copy of this video will be sent to Gu Ci."
She watched the video carefully and found that Mu Cang checked very carefully and did not miss any suspicious points.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe, just a thief?
But... Mu Cang's house is originally a high-end residence, and the property and security in the community are first-class.
Besides, there is a thief at the top, how did this person get in?
She thought about it over and over but couldn't find an answer, so she simply shook her head and ignored it.
Mu Cang sent her an invitation: "Come to an event with me tonight. I can't find a female companion."
"If Mr. Mu is looking for a female companion, will he not be able to find one? Don't make fun of me."
"Well, it's like this... there are several pharmacists who have some very rare medicinal plants, which should interest you. I want to talk to them about cooperation, but you also know that I am semi-professional.
A layman is definitely not as knowledgeable as an expert like you, so you can help me a lot if you accompany me."
Mu Cang was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so he directly sent the photo to her.
Cheng Lu took a look and found that there were two kinds of medicinal plants inside that she had never found.
This is also one of the necessary medicinal plants for preparing medicines.
As long as she has them, she may really be able to completely eliminate the illness in Gu Ci's body this time!
"Okay, I'll go!"
"Speak clearly, otherwise I will always feel like you are scolding me."
"……I go with you."
Just after agreeing to Mu Cang, Gu Ci also sent an invitation.
Cheng Lu thought for a moment and just refused: "Mu Cang told me first that I want to accompany him and pick up two kinds of medicinal plants."
Gu Ci fell silent.
Her heart was beating wildly, for fear that he would refuse.
"Is it an important medicinal plant?" he asked.
"Yes." Nothing is more important than his life.
"Then go ahead, it's okay."
Cheng Lu's eyes heated up: "Well, I'll go back as soon as possible."
In the evening, she simply wore a long black dress, flat shoes, and almost no jewelry. She only wore a string of diamond bracelets on her wrists. She was exquisite, smart, and charming.
Mu Cang couldn't help but admire: "It's so beautiful."
"Let's go. I'll explain in advance that I will only accompany you for two hours. You must try your best to help me get those two medicinal plants. This is my reward for accompanying you today." She looked directly into his eyes and spoke frankly.
He shrugged: "You are so direct...are you not afraid that I will be sad after hearing this?"
"There's nothing to be sad about. I never gave you a chance."
Mu Cang:......
Very good, this reason really left him speechless to refute.
When he arrived at the banquet, Cheng Lu regretted it.
This is basically a banquet hosted by the Gu family. Who is the man standing in the center of the crowd if not Gu Ci?
Her cheeks were slightly hot and she glared at Mu Cang fiercely: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"You didn't even ask."
Cheng Lu bit his lower lip and turned around, keeping a little distance from him.
"It's late. You were my female companion when we registered just now. Even if so many pairs of eyes didn't see it, the names on the registration book were you and me."
