When the party was over, Mu Ruqing asked Zhong Wan to send Mu Xueyi back.

Along the way, Mu Xueyi looked out the window in a daze.

She understands that the reason why she and Zhou Zhenyue can still have this connection is because of the contract that Zhou Zhenyue signed with her in order to satisfy the old man's wish. If the old man knows the truth, there is no doubt that the contract will end.

She has always wanted to pay back the money early, end this contract, and start normal development with Zhou Zhenyue. But ending with the old man's anger was definitely not the result she wanted.

Zhou Zhenyue respects grandpa so much, if the old man doesn't allow it, their relationship may really come to an end.

But listen to Mu Ruqing's words and steal the quotation...

She couldn't accept the idea just by rubbing it in her head. She knew that even if she died this time, she would never take anything from Zhou Zhenyue again.

"Xueyi," Zhong Wan suddenly called her, "why haven't you spoken?"

Mu Xueyi came back to his senses, "It's nothing. That, Wanwan..."

Zhong Wan: "What's wrong?"

Mu Xueyi: "You...you and..." She pondered for a moment, but just repeated: "It's nothing."

Zhong Wan smiled and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Mu Xueyi knew that although Zhong Wan was raised by Mu Ruqing to eat and drink, she was not doing well. In other words, as long as she is by Mu Ruqing's side for one day, she will be unhappy.

However, none of these things should be her mouth. Zhong Wan has her own choices.

When they got to the downstairs of the Jiangbian apartment, Zhong Wan helped to carry the gifts out of the trunk, ready to take Mu Xueyi upstairs.

After only two steps, Mu Xueyi's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Not far from the corner, a familiar black Bentley was parked quietly.

Her hands trembled nervously.

The front door of the Bentley was opened, and Xiao Ai walked down first. Within two seconds, the rear door was also opened.

The two people who got out of the car slowly approached one after the other. Xiao Ai came over with a wink, took the things in Zhong Wan's hand, and returned to Zhou Zhenyue with her head down.

Mu Xueyi hurriedly explained: "Ayue, I just went back to Mu's house and just had a meal..."

Zhou Zhenyue looked at her silently for a while, then turned to Zhong Wan: "Thank you Mr. Mu for your kindness. However, next time you pick up my girlfriend, let me know first."

Zhong Wan smiled: "Indeed, I'm really sorry for delaying the two-person world between you and Xueyi."

She didn't say much, she quickly said goodbye, got back into the car, and drove away.

It was late at night, and there was no one else in the community, only the three people who were illuminated by the headlights.

Mu Xueyi called out again tentatively: "Ayue."

She hadn't seen Zhou Zhenyue for more than half a month. When she just came back, she was a little afraid to see Zhou Zhenyue again, afraid that she would face a choice. But when I really saw her, I realized that the joy in my heart can overwhelm everything.

It seems that you love someone, as long as you can get close to her, nothing can become a grudge in the middle.

Zhou Zhenyue glanced at her. In the dim headlights, her half-drooped eyelashes were all golden.

"Go upstairs."

Two concise words.

Mu Xueyi hurriedly followed, and did not dare to follow too closely. She only dared to stare at the hem of Zhou Zhenyue's clothes and the pale wrist exposed in the cuff of her shirt.

It must have been frozen downstairs for a long time.

She was not waiting in the car, she was waiting outside the car. When he realized this, Mu Xueyi began to regret that he went to Mu Ruqing's appointment tonight.

When the security door was opened, two little ducks poked their heads in the crack of the door trying to escape from the prison. Mu Xueyi was still twisting the key. One of them didn't pay attention, and the two ducks swayed out.

She shouted anxiously: "Pepper! Fennel!"

Sichuan peppercorns and fennel are the names of the little ducks.

Tuantuan had never named them, so on the way back, Mu Xueyi wanted to ask Zhou Zhenyue to name them. Zhou Zhenyue refused, and Mu Xueyi figured it out on her own and came up with the name "Pepper".

Zhou Zhenyue heard it and said, "Pepper? Why don't you call it Fennel."

Mu Xueyi: "The other one should be called Fennel."

Zhou Zhenyue quickly bent down and caught the two escaped ducks in her hands. She clamped their necks and gestured to Mu Xueyi: "Open the door."

Mu Xueyi saw her grabbing the necks of the ducklings, and murmured: "You, you are choking their necks..."

Zhou Zhenyue was silent for a few seconds, then sneered: "Mu Xueyi, I waited for you downstairs for three hours, what you are thinking now is not to let me hurry in to avoid the cold, but I should not catch your duck like this, you Do you think it's appropriate?"

Mu Xueyi was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "No, I didn't mean that..."

She hurriedly opened the door, and when Zhou Zhenyue went in first, she followed behind and walked in obediently.

Zhou Zhenyue carried the duck to the side of the radiator, put the duck on the radiator, leaned against her, and put her cold fingers on the side of the radiator.

Obviously there was only one more person, but Mu Xueyi felt that the loneliness and loneliness that had filled the room for so many days had all been dispelled. The world outside the window is cold and annoying, but there is someone in the room by her side, even if she is standing far away from her, she feels warm in her heart.

Mu Xueyi poured a cup of hot water and slowly walked over to Zhou Zhenyue and handed it to her.

Zhou Zhenyue took it and took a sip.

She hesitated and whispered: "Ayue, don't get me wrong, I'm in Mu's house... I didn't do the kind of thing you imagined."

Zhou Zhenyue put the water cup on the heater, "Then tell me, what did you do?"

Mu Xueyi thought that Zhou Zhenyue would say something like "I don't want to hear your explanation", but she was stunned when she heard her question so frankly.

She sorted out her words and said, "Just...cut a cake and have a meal."

Zhou Zhenyue: "Mu Ruqing didn't tell you anything else?"

Mu Xueyi lowered his head: "...No."

Zhou Zhenyue picked up the water glass again, didn't drink it, just held it in her hand and rubbed it, her tone became cold: "If you don't want to tell the truth, don't take the initiative to explain."

Mu Xueyi clenched her fists tightly, her eyes were filled with surging emotions: "I know, you know something. I haven't been able to explain it to you completely, but Ayue, believe me, I will never, never again. hurt you."

Zhou Zhenyue looked into Mu Xueyi's eyes and looked at her for a while.

a long time. Zhou Zhenyue lowered her head and took out a document bag from her coat pocket.

She handed it to Mu Xueyi, her eyelashes half-drooping:

"...this is your birthday present."

Mu Xueyi stared at the document bag, and she immediately guessed what was inside.

-Offer sheet.

My whole body was instantly stiff, and my fingertips were cold.

Zhou Zhenyue smiled palely: "When we were still together, every year on your birthday, I would give you what you want most."

She handed it a little further forward, "The same is true this year." Mu Xueyi stared at the file bag for a long time.

If this matter is to be resolved, now is undoubtedly the best time. She doesn't need to steal, she doesn't need to cheat, as long as she usually accepts this gift, all problems will be solved.

But it was when she was so close to liberation that she suddenly realized that even if Zhou Zhenyue offered to give it, she would not accept it.

The problem that I couldn't figure out along the way, I suddenly figured it out.

She won't take this quotation sheet. No matter in what form, whether active or passive, it will not be taken.

Between maintaining her own feelings and maintaining Zhou Zhenyue's interests, she must, definitely choose to protect Zhou Zhenyue.

...It's just a pity that the time that I can stay by Zhou Zhenyue's side may only be these short ten days. Ten days later, when Mu Ruqing told Zhou Fengnian everything, they...it should be over.

However, even if this relationship comes to an end, it is the result that she should accept calmly.

Mu Xueyi took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Zhenyue, and said word by word, "I don't want it."

Zhou Zhenyue's hand was still raised in mid-air, her eyes burning brightly: "This is your only chance. If you miss today, you will never get it again."

Mu Xueyi smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes:

"I know, I don't want to."

Zhou Zhenyue saw the firmness in her eyes, her fingers holding the document bag tightened, and the jade ring made a white mark on the base of her finger.

After a moment, she lowered her hand and put the file bag back in her coat pocket. The lowered eyes seemed to have been frozen for a whole winter before the big river that was about to melt, finally had an undercurrent of tenderness.

Zhou Zhenyue raised her eyes and said in a low voice, "Come here."

Mu Xueyi obediently walked over and leaned against the radiator.

Zhou Zhenyue's hand in her pocket stretched out and lifted it, as if she wanted to touch Mu Xueyi beside her. But in the end, she put her hand back in her coat pocket and said softly:

"You were right in choosing to reject me."

Mu Xueyi smiled lightly and asked, "If I didn't refuse, what would happen to you?"

Zhou Zhenyue was silent for a few seconds, "...If you don't refuse, tonight will be the last time we meet."

Mu Xueyi suddenly realized something, and blurted out, "Are you testing me? That document bag is nothing but white paper, right?"

Zhou Zhenyue did not answer.

Mu Xueyi knew that she had acquiesced.

Mu Xueyi forcibly endured the huge loss that bred in his heart, and the whole person was trembling uncontrollably:

"Ayue, I know that I've done something wrong, and it's normal for you not to trust me. But... I said I won't lie to you this time, so I definitely won't lie to you. I'm not... you are in the business field. Your opponent, not your enemy, you really… really don’t have to… deal with me like this.”

When it comes to the word "deal with", she seems to be choking.

Zhou Zhenyue was just silent for a while.

After a long while, she straightened up and only left one sentence: "I'm leaving."

Mu Xueyi didn't hold back, she turned her head away, and could vaguely see her clenched cheeks.

The peppercorns and fennel on the radiator stretched their necks, and their round black eyes widened, watching the departure of the other host instead of the host.

Xiao Ai drove Zhou Zhenyue back to the old house.

When she got home, Zhou Zhenyue went straight back to her room and slumped into the office chair wearily.

She froze for a while, then slowly took out the crumpled document bag from her coat pocket. Under the bright table light, she gently opened the seal and slowly pulled out a piece of paper from inside.

The light shines, and each item on the paper is clearly mapped with the number.

Zhou Zhenyue stared at the confidential paper for a while, then raised her hand and sent the paper into the shredder.

She looked at the scraps of paper spit out from the shredder, and the corners of her lips curved into a bitter arc.

white paper?

It turned out that Mu Xueyi never understood how much she loved her.

The author has something to say: today is the third watch, continue to turn back~

Don't scold Xueyi, Xueyi is a growing character, she has an obvious trajectory of change
