Early morning, in Su Qi's bedroom.

Mu Xiaochen and the Sister Wang's voice came out from the corridor.

Sister Wang bowed and asked respectfully.

"No, let her sleep for a while."

Mu Xiaochen shot a glance at Su Qi's bedroom, his eyes revealing a doting look that even he himself did not realize.

"Yes, sir."

Su Qi held her head up, she sat up from the bed, raised her right hand and patted her forehead, as though she had been sleeping more and more steadily these days.

'Could that man have already left? '

He raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall. It was seven o'clock.

Su Qi lifted the blanket and realized that she had changed her clothes into pajamas.

His gaze grew tense as he tried to recall what happened yesterday. However, he found that his memory had shattered into pieces the moment he entered the car. There was nothing left for him to recall.

She got out of bed and rushed outside.

In the living room.

Mu Xiaochen was dressed in casual attire as he sat at the dining table. In his hands was a newspaper and his face looked ugly.

Her lips were pursed, her eyebrows were furrowed, and she was looking at the headline on the newspaper, "Mrs. Wealthy's illegitimate son."

"Madam, you're awake."

Sister Wang looked at Su Qi who was eating breakfast on the stairs, a trace of panic in her eyes.

"You're awake. Time to eat."

Hearing the voice, Mu Xiaochen grabbed the newspaper on the table and threw it directly at the dustbin, his movements smooth and natural.

Su Qi walked to the front of Mu Xiaochen and sat down.

"Last night, you …"

Su Qi opened her mouth. Seeing that Mu Xiaochen's actions were not suspicious, she wanted to know what happened last night.

"How was your sleep last night?"

Mu Xiaochen took a piece of bread on the table and sent it to Su Qi.

"You changed my clothes last night?"

Su Qi did not answer Mu Xiaochen's question. She did not accept the bread that Mu Xiaochen sent her.

But the man had not even touched her.

"Last night you fell asleep, I carried you back to your bedroom. Sister Wang changed your clothes for you."

Mu Xiaochen raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Qi. The smile on his face showed that he was in a good mood. He withdrew the bread that he sent to Su Qi.

"Oh, let's eat."

Su Qi lowered her head, randomly picked up the plain water on the table and started drinking it, a hint of disappointment flashing across her face.

"Drink this."

Mu Xiaochen stood up and poured a cup of milk for Su Qi, who had been drinking plain water with his head lowered.

"Have a good rest at home these two days. Leave the rest to me." Mu Xiaochen suddenly said in a calm voice.

"Alright, I understand."

Receiving the milk from Mu Xiaochen, Su Qi nodded and agreed.

"The press conference this afternoon. I want to go."

Su Qi raised her head and looked at Mu Xiaochen firmly, a pleading look in his eyes.

"No, I'll take care of it."

Mu Xiaochen spoke indifferently, and immediately rejected Su Qi's request.

There was no room for negotiation.

The two of them looked at each other, and looked at the man in front of them. Su Qi felt an inexplicable sense of security and satisfaction.

"Alright."

Su Qi nodded and replied.

After breakfast, Mu Xiaochen went upstairs to change. Su Qi was bored out of her mind.

Mu Xiaochen stood in front of the mirror and wore a tie.

In the mirror, he looked somewhat haggard. His face could not hide the dark circles around his eyes, and he felt a faint sense of exhaustion.

"Come in, this is for you."

Mu Xiaochen handed the necktie to Su Qi, the gentleness in his eyes unable to be put into words.

Su Qi took the necktie from Mu Xiaochen's hand and tip-toed to put it on Mu Xiaochen's neck. After tying it up carefully, she reached out and stroked the wrinkles on her shirt.

"Be careful on your way."

"Then, come back and have a good sleep."

Su Qi raised her head and looked at Mu Xiaochen.

What could a dream do? She wanted to enjoy this moment.

Looking at Su Qi, Mu Xiaochen nodded his head indifferently: "Yes."

Mu Xiaochen gave a simple reply, but his voice was mixed with endless gentleness.

After Mu Xiaochen left, Su Qi sat on the sofa alone and switched on the TV.

"This station reports that a certain rich family's wife cheated on a rich family's illegitimate child. According to people familiar with the news, the two of them have known each other for a long time and their relationship is even more ambiguous. The rich family's wife did not hesitate to be hospitalized for his sake. Neither side has sent a letter clarifying the situation, but most media friends have already …"

Su Qi sat blankly on the sofa. Her originally bloodless face had turned even paler, and her eyes were blank as she watched the news report on the television.

"Madam, this is all a rumor created by the reporters."

Sister Wang turned off the TV and comforted Yue Yang worriedly.

What responded to her was a long period of silence from Su Qi.

"Madam, you can tell that it's fake just by looking at it. Please don't take it to heart …"

Su Qi stood up and silently went back to her room, locking the door.

She leaned against the door and slowly sat on the ground. She hugged herself and buried her head deep in her knees.

"Why? Why is it like this? "

Su Qi's voice was tinged with a crying tone, her hands tightly grabbing onto her arms.

At this moment, the man who had just left, was filled with longing.

Muller's Corporation, Mu Xiaochen's Office.

Mu Xiaochen was discussing the afternoon press conference with his assistant, Zhou Guang.

"This is the reporter and relevant personnel who attended the press conference. Please check them. If there's no mistake …"

"Buzz buzz" The sound of the phone vibrated, interrupting Zhou Guang's speech, which he took a look at.

It was actually that woman.

Seeing the familiar phone number, Mu Xiaochen raised his hand to indicate to Zhou Guang. Zhou Guang understood and turned to leave the office, closing the door at the same time.

Mu Xiaochen walked in front of the French window with his phone.

"Hello."

Maybe Mu Xiaochen didn't even notice the corner of his mouth raised.

"Xiao Chen, are you busy?"

Mu Xiaochen heard the familiar voice from the other side of the phone, causing his panicked heart to calm down.

"I'm not busy. What's wrong?"

Mu Xiaochen noticed the helplessness and sobbing in Su Qi's voice, and his heart tightened all of a sudden.

"You already knew that, didn't you? What should he do now? What do you think we should do? "

Su Qi asked Mu Xiaochen anxiously. She was a little confused.

"I'll settle this matter. Don't worry, it will be fine."

Mu Xiaochen looked out of the window, a ruthless look flashing past his eyes.

"I can't go on like this. I might not be able to go to work anymore."

Mu Xiaochen comforted Su Qi gently.

"Don't let your thoughts run wild, I will take care of it. Your current task is to go back to your bed and lie down. Rest well, take care of your body, and then come back to work."

Mu Xiaochen paused for a moment, and then spoke to Su Qi who was on the other side of the phone.

"Alright, I believe you."

Su Qi hung up the phone, closed her eyes and leaned against the wall powerlessly.
