C20

She walked over to the peephole and looked out. She couldn't see anything from the black cloth outside.

It was unknown if the neighbors across the street also didn't have people staying there either. The sound control light on this floor was broken. She only found out when she was sending off the cleaning lady just now, so she could only wait until tomorrow to find someone to fix it.

Since she didn't know who was coming, she didn't dare to open the door.

After all, this was her first time living alone. Mu Yu panicked.

The person who came was definitely not Lu Jean. Lu Ling understood that this fellow would not press the doorbell when he was being rash, but rather just knock on the door and call for someone.

As she thought about it, the doorbell rang twice more.

"Who?"

She quivered and asked vigilantly.

"…"

The door was silent. No one answered.

The atmosphere was so tense that it reminded her of scenes from certain movies, causing her hair to stand on end.

Staring fixedly at the door, she leaned against the wall and raised her cane, afraid that the door would not explain that someone had barged in.

"Ding dong — Ding dong —" The doorbell rang again.

Mu Yu was scared to death by the bell. She fished with her trembling hands for her cell phone and was about to call the police.

At this moment, a low voice sounded from outside the door.

"Open the door."

The man's deep voice sounded familiar.

Mu Yu was too nervous to recall whose voice it was.

"Ding dong — — Ding dong —"

The doorbell rang again, this time accompanied by a male voice.

"Mu Yu!"

Eh? Did this person know her?

She asked cautiously, "Who?"

"…"

When no one answered, she asked again, "Who is it?"

"Your husband."

"…"

emm... "Her husband?

Suddenly, something flashed through her mind. Mu Yu found it hard to believe.

"Lu Shimo?"

The person outside paused for a moment before replying, "En."

When Mu Yu heard the sound of the broken string in her heart, she heaved a sigh of relief. She carefully pushed the door open and stuck out her small head. "Lu Shimo?"

Outside the door.

The man in the black suit was almost invisible in the darkness, only the flickering sparks between his fingers were eye-catching.

"Right."

"Why are you here?" Mu Yu asked him.

Lu Shimo walked in without paying attention to himself and didn't answer.

"My house doesn't have any extra slippers. You don't need to change your shoes."

"Right."

Lu Shimo put out his cigarette in the ashtray. He frowned as he looked at her red and swollen right cheek, then he looked at her forehead full of sweat and shock. He understood.

"You yourself?"

"Howl."

Mu Yu caressed her hair. She subconsciously did not want him to see her swollen cheeks. She used her walking stick to lead him into the living room. "Sorry, I just moved here. There's no tea here."

Lu Shimo followed behind her, looking at her listless appearance.

In the morning, she was jumping up and down excitedly like a child. When she smiled, her eyes were curved and her face contorted. It had only been an afternoon, but she had become a completely different person. She was extremely depressed.

"By the way, how did you know I was staying here?"

The past few times she had met him seemed to have been when she was in her most sorry state.

Mu Yu lowered her head and looked at her toes, feeling depressed.

He said nothing, his dark eyes fixed on her.

Only then did Mu Yu come back to her senses. Based on his influence in Jincheng, it was easy for her to know where a person was.

However, Mu Yu couldn't figure out his purpose for coming here late at night.

It was a late night, a lone man and a single woman. Mu Yu felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze.

Just as he was thinking about what to say, a banging sound came from the door, followed by a blurry sound from Lu Li.

"Mu Yu, open the door!"

"He's here!"

Mu Yu glanced at Lu Shimo and hopped off with one leg to open the door.

As soon as he pushed open the door, a long leg extended out, and Lu allowed his entire body to squeeze in.

Mu Yu subconsciously blocked the door.

Damn it!

He had come at this very moment!

If Lu Xin found out that his uncle was with her, who knows what he would think!

Just imagine, for two people who didn't have any relationship with each other, a single man and a single woman in a single room, how could this be normal!

After all, Lu Lian didn't know the relationship between her and Lu Shimo.

"Out of the way!"

Lu Jean pushed her aside and walked in.

Mu Yu was shocked by his appearance. He carried a big and small bag in his hand, a summer blanket and a pillow on his back, toiletries around his neck, and a bag of food with the words "Hua Ting Hotel" written on it.

"What are you blanking out for, I'm so tired!" Lu Sheng clenched his food bag ferociously as he mumbled through bared teeth.

Mu Yu hastily placed the items on the ground. She skimmed through them and was stunned.

From bed linen, down to suet and salt, everything.

While Mu Yu was thinking about how to get Lu Li to leave, Lu Sheng already had his head stuck out towards the living room.

"…"

She closed her eyes in despair.

It was over. He couldn't hide it any longer.

Against her expectations, Lu Jean did not have much of a reaction, only that his face was a little worse than usual.

Mu Yu laughed dryly as she changed the topic.

"You brought the supermarket over. Why are you buying so much!"

Lu Lian looked like a nouveau riche, "I'm rich, I'm willing!"

"…"

Fine, fine, fine. If you have money, then you're the boss!

Then he pulled her little face away, lifted the hair that covered her cheeks, looked at her red and swollen cheeks, and asked seriously, "Did your father hit you?"

"Mind your own business!" She slapped his hand away.

"I'm nosy? If you don't mind your own business, then why aren't you willing to interfere! " he said deliberately.

"…"

Lu Jean was still angry because Mu Yu had kept it a secret from him, or perhaps he was dissatisfied with his uncle.

He glanced inside the living room complacently, and purposely said loudly, "No one treats you better than me, I'm almost going to be your nanny!"

Mu Yu, who was unaware of the relationship between Lu Tingxiao and her, followed her lead.

"Yes, yes, yes. You are the best person in the world to me. I'm so grateful to you!"

This praise was very enjoyable for Lu Jean.

She pulled out a chair and sat down, then pulled the bag over and began to eat from the outside.

She pointed in the direction of the living room. "That, your uncle is also here. Do you want to chat with him?"

Lu Jean also pulled up his chair and sat down. With his head held high, he said, "I'm not going!"

Mu Yu responded with an 'oh' before standing up and picking up the snacks that Lu Quyuan had bought and hopping into the living room.

"Have some snacks?"

Lu Shimo shook his head.

"Have some water, then." She pulled a bottle of mineral water from her bag and handed it over.

After receiving the snacks, Mu Yu smiled at him, placed the snacks on the table, and returned to the dining room.

When she sat down again, Mu Yu took out a pair of chopsticks and realized.

The extra chopsticks in his bag had already been broken into pieces by Lu Li.

Sensing that something was wrong with him, Mu Yu stuffed a spicy chicken into her mouth. She raised her eyes and looked at him. "Have you eaten gunpowder?"

Lu Tingxiao glared at her, "Eat your food! "Shut up!"

"…"

After dinner, the three of them were in the living room.

Mu Yu sat on the sofa nervously, while Lu Shimo and Lu let her sit on the single sofa to her left and right.
