Global recovery, I was chased by the empress

Chapter 107 Can People Not Grow Up?

Now Lin Chen, compared to system tasks, he wants to give Mu Qingwan better protection, better love, and what's more, to give her a real home.

Looking at the phone that hadn't received a reply, Lin Chen's brain was like a mess. Unknowingly, he turned on the wrong navigation and came to the Jin Mao Mansion unknowingly.

Lin Chen frowned, looking at the magnificent walls, Mu Qingwan was not at home, why did he come here.

"Jingle bell, jingle bell."

"Jingle bell, jingle bell."

Suddenly, the phone rang in his pocket.

Lin Chen picked up the phone, and a male voice came from over there.

Lin Chen glanced at the phone number, and said suddenly, "Hello, hello."

"Hello, your girlfriend ordered two sets of tables, chairs and figures from us before. Is it convenient for you to receive the goods now? Our installer is on the first floor of the Jinmao Mansion. I have been calling you for a long time. No one picked up."

After bluntly explaining the purpose of coming there, Lin Chen's first reaction was, this is not a coincidence.

I am right here.

Master Andrew also happens to be downstairs.

It seems that this trip was not in vain.

It is true that there were a few unfamiliar missed calls on the phone before, and they still started with 0xxx, like a landline. Lin Chen thought it was a harassing call, so he ignored it.

Looking at it now, it turns out that Mu Qingwan left her phone number when she was shopping.

But. This table and chair figurine and the title of girlfriend still made Lin Chen in a daze. Why buy a table and chair, and is Mu Qingwan already so familiar with the title of girlfriend?
Lin Chen couldn't help but think about it, and the urging voice came again, "Hi sir, is it convenient now? If you don't have time now, we will put the things in the front desk storage, and we will send them to you when you have time." The master worker is here to install it."

"Okay, I'll be right there, please wait for me."

Lin Chen parked the car on the side of the road and got out of the car.

I took the installer all the way up to the thirteenth floor.

During this period, Lin Chen kept looking at the side of the huge cardboard box, wanting to see what it was in advance. Is there any room missing tables and chairs in Mu Qingwan's house?
Lin Chen thought about it carefully.

Opening the outer door, Lin Chen walked in with someone, as if he was the host of the house.

"Boy, do you want to open it now?"

After a long absence, no one called him Boss Lu, and Lin Chen felt a little kind to call him a young man.

The two installation masters on the opposite side looked to be in their early forties, and they were dressed in light gray work clothes. The original color was not like this, but more like it had been washed and turned white. Such people must have a wife from the Gu family.

"Open it."

The cardboard outer box was opened, and a bright yellow color leaked out. If Lin Chen read it correctly, it was Pikachu's tail?

Lin Chen bent down, and together with the installer, he stretched the cardboard box a bit bigger.

Sure enough, I read it right, it was a set of Pikachu's table, and then opened the other two large cardboard boxes, and there were two gaming chairs, both of which were bright yellow.

Lin Chen hesitated a little. Mu Qingwan's previous two sets of gaming chairs were already in bad shape. For a while, Lin Chen thought that she bought them newly. Why did she buy two more sets?

Lin Chen couldn't help thinking more, the installer interrupted his thoughts, "Young man, where do you press this table and chair?"

Lin Chen really couldn't figure it out for a while, what is Mu Qingwan's purpose for buying these two sets of tables and chairs?
Replace the previous ones, and put them together in the e-sports room, after all, the e-sports room is big enough.

Could it be that Mu Qingwan wanted to arrange a dark room?

No, if you want to open a dark room, it should be five blacks, why is it so bad, and who can Mu Qingwan call to play?

Does she have any black teammates?
"Wait, brother, I'll call my girlfriend."

"Row."

Lin Chen picked up the phone and called.

Lin Chen originally thought that Mu Qingwan, who hadn't replied to his WeChat for a long time, would not answer the call, but he didn't expect that after a few beeps, when he was about to hang up, a voice came from the other side.

"Hello, Lin Chen."

The voice sounded small, a little softer than usual, as if it was difficult to speak.

Or a cold?
Lin Chen asked anxiously, "Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you?"

He seemed to have forgotten the main reason for the phone call, and the other things were not so important. Mu Qingwan's little movement now made him worry.

"There is someone next to me." Mu Qingwan took two steps forward, her voice was a little softer, as if she was afraid that Lin Chen might misunderstand, she added quietly, "I was talking to my dad just now."

Lin Chen gave a faint "oh", as long as he wasn't sick, Mu Qingwan had gone home, and it was normal for his father to be at home.

Mu Qingwan heard the silence over there, thought for a while and said, "Did you make this call because something happened to the company?"

It stands to reason that if Lin Chen usually has nothing serious, if he is looking for her, Lin Chen should send a WeChat message, and if he calls, he must be looking for her with something, she thinks so.

"Ah, that one called me just now and said." My girlfriend bought something and left me her phone number, asking me to sign for it.
Lin Chen almost said it subconsciously, but in fact, it's okay to say it with his usual sloppy appearance and the ambiguous relationship between the two of them now.

But Lin Chen thought about it, Mu Qingwan didn't seem to be in a very high mood, and her father didn't know if she could hear it, maybe Mu Qingwan didn't want her father to know her existence.

Lin Chen turned around and said, "The store you ordered the gaming desks and chairs called me. The installer is here. I'm at your house now. You already have two sets of gaming desks and chairs in your gaming room. Where do you plan to put the two new sets, I will ask the master to press it."

Lin Chen spoke in a serious tone as if he was discussing business.

This set of tables and chairs was ordered several days ago, and Mu Qingwan almost forgot about it. After Lin Chen said this, she remembered that it was Lin Chen's phone number she left.

"I bought it because it looked good, that... You can ask the installer to put it in the gaming room, and replace the two sets of tables and chairs before."

Lin Chen said softly, "Okay, then I'll go."

Lin Chen was about to hang up the phone now. In fact, he still wanted to have a chat with Mu Qingwan, but he saw that Mu Qingwan didn't seem interested and it was inconvenient, so he gave up.

Mu Qingwan said quickly, "Wait."

"Huh?" Want to chat with me for a while?

The other end of the phone went blank for a while, and Mu Qingwan's voice seemed to relax a lot after hearing the door slam shut.

"Lin Chen, did the master just send two sets of e-sports tables and chairs? I bought four sets in total."

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, turned away the phone, and asked the installer, "Master, do you still have two sets of this gaming desk and chair?"

Lin Chen pointed to the gaming tables and chairs next to the installer.

"There are four sets in total, and the other two sets are not this address, but that"

The master just took out the address from his pocket, and he didn't wait to say anything.

Lin Chen suddenly said, "It's Xingying Media?"

"Yes, yes, the phone you left is also yours, and it's on the truck outside."

Lin Chen smiled, he just thought of the company subconsciously, Mu Qingwan's move was really amazing, even both the house and the company had to be replaced with bright yellow ones.

Lin Chen nodded to the installer.

He lifted the phone to his ear again.

Lin Chen joked, "Xiao Qi, the other two sets are downstairs, why did you buy so many sets of tables and chairs?"

"Didn't I say it, I look good." Mu Qingwan felt a ripple in her heart, she always felt that Lin Chen asked the question knowingly, she obviously knew that Lin Chen liked it.

"Okay, as long as Xiaoqi likes it, what about the original two sets?"

"Do whatever you want, just throw it away."

Whoa, what a great deal.

Lin Chen gave a "tsk", took two steps away, and then joked, "People who even want to keep waste paper boxes are so extravagant now? It really is a capitalist's big money."

Lin Chen's voice came from the other end of the phone, and there was a bit of bewitching charm in the low and gentle voice.

Mu Qingwan swallowed her saliva, that's right, she said she would sell all the waste cardboard boxes in the e-sports room that she didn't have time to throw away. , Now suddenly want to throw something, it is suspicious.

In fact, Mu Qingwan doesn't want Lin Chen to know at all. She secretly paid for Lin Chen, the girl's mind is like this, and it's not mean, in fact, there is a little bit in her heart that she wants him to know The ingredients are there.

But...it must not be Lin Chen who said it directly!
She blushed several times over the phone now, if Lin Chen said it in front of her in the future, it would be fine.

Then the whole person is probably as if soaked in watermelon juice.

"I haven't finished my sentence yet. Why are you so anxious to pick it up? Just put the two sets aside and leave them to me. I want to sell scrap iron."

Hearing Mu Qingwan's words "sell scrap iron" loudly, Lin Chen couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's not suitable to sell scrap iron, Xiaoqi, let's hang up a second-hand idle platform."

Mu Qingwan pouted and lowered her head angrily, "Okay, I'll hang up when I get back!"

"How do you thank me?"

"what?"

"I said I came so far to press the table and chairs for you, sweating all over, how can you thank me?"

"What? You need some reward."

Mu Qingwan's tone was calm, but her heart was already exploding. Lin Chen, you still ask me for a reward. The newly bought e-sports table and chairs are obviously bought according to your preferences. If you don't thank me, it's fine. Feel free to ask me for a reward!

Lin Chen snickered and said, "That's why we workers have this awareness, right?"

Mu Qingwan thought about it seriously, this reward
"Is it okay to treat you to dinner when I go back? Shall I buy you a new suit?"

"Huh?" Lin Chen looked at the ceiling and said hesitantly, "The two of us have dinner, isn't this meal and accommodation arranged by the boss?"

Mu Qingwan gritted her teeth, her voice was full of sharpness, "Then what do you say?"

"How about you, give me a kiss when you come back? As a reward?"

"Lin Chen!"

Lin Chen was not used to Mu Qingwan talking to him in a serious and soft voice. When he was talking about the reward just now, he obviously felt that Mu Qingwan was tense there. The slightly sturdy "Lin Chen" As soon as they came out, the two laughed, Mu Qingwan, she was really tense there.

"Can my wife do it?"

Lin Chen yelled, and while Mu Qingwan's bones were numb, the two middle-aged elder brothers behind him also had goose bumps.

Is this how young people fall in love now?
"Lin Chen you"

Before Mu Qingwan could finish a sentence, there was a knock on the door from the other end of the phone, and it was a female voice, "Wanwan, it's time to eat."

"Here we come, Aunt Fu."

I haven't seen Mu Qingwan for a day and a night. In fact, this phone call is not enough for Lin Chen. Although he sees so many beautiful girls every day, he just likes to stay with Mu Qingwan, even through the phone line , maybe this is the magic of love.

Lin Chen smiled lightly, this is the legendary loyalty.

He has never had a girlfriend before, and when chatting with friends, everyone often joked that in the future, the red flag at home should not fall down, and the colorful flags outside are fluttering. In fact, Lin Chen also felt that he might not be so determined, so There are so many upside downs on his small face, he doesn't need to look for it specially, there will be girls rushing up one after another, maybe he really doesn't have that much concentration.

But now, Lin Chen is holding the phone tightly in his hand, he still doesn't want to hang up.
"Lin Chen. I'm going to eat now. I'll talk about the reward when I go back!"

"Then when are you coming back?"

Lin Chen's voice was clearly full of anticipation.

Mu Qingwan's voice was sweet, as if she was thinking, "Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? Well, I'll call you when I get back."

"Row."

"If you're bored, you can send me a WeChat message, or... make a voice call or something. Anyway, being a boss at home is boring."

"Hey, come to me to experience the people's sentiments? Okay, if I'm not interested, I will definitely bombard you with phone calls."

"Then goodbye."

"bye."

With a beeping sound, Lin Chen seemed to be pressed by a stone in his heart, and was a little lost, but when he thought of what Mu Qingwan said just now, "If you are boring, just send me a WeChat message or make a voice call." What. '

It made Lin Chen feel a lot better.

Make phone calls, send WeChat messages, this should be something that couples should do.

Although it was attributed to boredom by Mu Qingwan.

But when I think about it, it would be nice to be able to make phone calls with Mu Qingwan at night, a bit like an ordinary couple.

Lin Chen picked up the phone and said to the master next to him, "Brother, help me move upstairs, it's troublesome."

The installers are all used to moving things, plus there are two people, and they moved from the first floor to the second floor in a few moves.

"Young man, your e-sports room is well-decorated."

"It's a decent enough house."

Lin Chen agreed, "Well, it's okay, my girlfriend is pretending."

"You two have such a good relationship."

With a smile on the corner of Lin Chen's mouth, he responded, "Well, it's pretty good."

The two installation masters pressed the table while chatting with Lin Chen about the household chores.

But it didn't delay the progress, and it was quite fast, and it was finished in a while.

Lin Chen looked at another large cardboard box that they brought up and hadn't opened.

"What is this box?"

"Brother, I will open it for you now, this box is a figure."

In the opened cardboard box, there are various figures and a large transparent acrylic shelf.

Lin Chen picked up the tail of a little Pikachu with his fingers, good guy, Mu Qingwan really likes this thing, will he make this thing everywhere in the house in the future, then if it is cultivated from the mother's womb, should the child be beaten in the future? Did you like this thing when you were little?

Lin Chen smiled, it was actually quite good.

"Master, please press this acrylic shelf for me."

"okay."

"Where is it pressed?" The master looked around, and the two new gaming tables and chairs had replaced the original gaming tables and chairs.

And this big shelf looks small when it is placed in a cardboard box, but when it is spread out, it occupies a large area.

Lin Chen looked at how the planning of the place would be more reasonable, and it would be more appropriate for this pile of figures to be placed in the e-sports room.

"Brother, help move the original two sets of gaming tables and chairs downstairs."

"okay."

Lin Chen nodded and said, "It's troublesome."

The installation brother said cheerfully, "No trouble, no trouble, it's my job."

Uh.
Why do these words sound so familiar?
Two sets of almost brand-new e-sports tables and chairs were slowly brought to the lobby on the first floor.

"You don't want such a good e-sports desk and chair?"

"Um"

"Yeah, my girlfriend doesn't like it anymore. Do you need it? I just bought it not long ago. If you need it, you can move away."

The installer stroked the edge of the table with his fingers, and said slowly, "This is not very good."

But the look in his eyes caught Lin Chen's eyes, it was a look of anticipation.

The two eldest brothers are old enough to have children. They don’t necessarily need them, but they must have children who can be used. In fact, Lin Chen doesn’t really believe that Mu Qingwan can hold these two sets of gaming desks and chairs to hang them. On the second-hand website, or really go to sell scrap iron.

Anyway, let people stay here for so long.

It's better to be an adult.

Lin Chen smiled politely, "It's okay, brother, I don't need it anymore."

"Then thank you little brother, did we deliver the two sets of tables and chairs below, or did you go with us?"

There are probably people in the company.

"Just help to send it there, just let them send it to Lin Chen's office."

"okay."

Lin Chen didn't go to the company this time, not because he was tired, but because the things on the second floor were just unpacked, and then they were scattered and dusty, and the e-sports room hadn't been used for a long time.

I wanted to clean it up, thinking that when Mu Qingwan came back, I would be very happy to see Mu Mu's completely new e-sports room.

Lin Chen rolled up his sleeves and was about to pick it up.

Lin Chen walked up the stairs, and said to himself, "Little Qi, you are lucky."

Mu Qingwan, who was in another place, just finished talking with Lin Chen, and she was also in a good mood.

She clutched her mobile phone, even in this place where the family atmosphere was not very good, she could feel Lin Chen's warmth through the phone line.

Mu Qingwan chuckled, was stunned, and picked up the food closest to her on the huge dining table.

"Xiaona, eat more meat."

A man with a serious face and a straight body said.

But compared to this appearance, the voice is much softer.

It was Mu Qingwan's father, who was sitting at the head of the dining table.

Father Mu, the corners of his mouth were raised, bringing up a few creases around his eyes, but he didn't look old. Compared with his actual age, he seemed much younger, with deep eyebrows and eyes. Mu Qingwan and his The eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar.

It is an advantage to follow him.

Mu Qingwan withdrew her thoughts and said lightly, "Yes."

A pair of chopsticks was slowly stretched out towards Mu Qingwan's bowl, and there was a piece of brightly cooked braised pork in the chopsticks.

Looks like the workmanship is excellent.

It was the smile on the face of the person holding the food opposite, which seemed a bit hypocritical.

"Xiaona eat more meat. Aunt Fu is a good cook. I don't see you often go home for dinner. This time, stay at home for a few more days. Your grandma will come over tomorrow."

"thanks."

The person who was talking to her and smiling at her opposite Mu Qingwan was the wife her father found. In fact, she was three years older than her father, but she was well maintained. Well-developed, no wrinkles can be seen on the face.

The whole person looks ten years younger than her father, with light makeup on her face, and her body is well-dressed and comfortable. There is a limited-edition luxury necklace around her neck, which is incompatible with the whole body. It shows nobility.

It seemed that the comfortable and decent attire was just an illusion.

But the smile and greeting hanging from the corner of his mouth is a kind of hypocrisy no matter how you look at it.

Mu Qingwan's mother died of illness. She didn't have a complete and happy native family. In fact, it has nothing to do with this woman. Her father has no problem finding his wife, Mu Qingwan. She is also very dependent on her, she still remembers that she would blink her small eyes at that time, and call this woman "Mom" in a childish voice with a shy look.
If it weren't for the overwhelming announcements, it wouldn't be for this woman to attack Mu Qingwan step by step for her own benefit.

Mu Qingwan was still willing to eat the food she picked up.

Mu Qingwan quietly put the braised pork on the plate aside, and continued to hold the vegetables closest to her, using the most flat tone, as if she was talking to a stranger.

"Thank you, Aunt Jane, I've lost weight recently."

Mu Xiao is not as hypocritical as her mother. She glanced at Mu Qingwan and said bluntly, "You are not fat."

On the surface, it looks like it has been half-swallowed, and it seems to be praising Mu Qingwan's figure, but it is actually saying that you don't want to eat, the food my mother made for you.

His voice was cold, and he was speaking for her mother.

Father Mu gave Mu Xiao a cold look, "It's not big or small."

Mu Xiao shrugged her mouth at Father Mu, looked at Mu Qingwan again, smiled, and narrowed her eyes, "Sister, you have a really good figure, eat more meat, you're too thin, don't you?" nice."

For the warmth given by her family, Mu Qingwan no longer longed for it, but she felt a little sad when she looked at her relatives who were related to her by blood, but she looked like an outsider.

Mu Qingwan didn't chat with them anymore, it was just some fake greetings and nonsense, she ate in silence, Mu Qingwan usually eats very slowly, she likes to taste small bites, usually When Lin Chen cooks for her, she can't wait to eat for a long time.

But at home, no, this place that had her family but couldn't call it home.

Mu Qingwan got up, with a faint smile on her face, "I'm full, Dad, eat slowly, I'll go back to my room first."

Mu Qingwan is very talented in acting, but everyone can see the smile on her face, which is called "smiling on the skin but not smiling".

She was too lazy to pretend to be with them.

Father Mu looked at her with a kind expression, "Xiaona, you go upstairs to rest for a while, come to my study when you're done."

Father Mu thought about it, and felt that the time to rest was not appropriate. What counted as a rest, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "07:30."

What he said was a declarative sentence, and Mu Qingwan was given an accurate timeline, but the tone was more like a discussion, but it was obvious that Mu Qingwan was not in the mood to discuss it with him right now.

"I'm tired, Dad, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Mu Qingwan looked back, with a slight smile still on the corner of her mouth, but it was a bit formal and polite.

The pattern is like, facing the uncle security guard downstairs, it is a little more unfamiliar.

She straightened her body back and walked slowly towards the stairs.

The villa has three floors in total, and if the basement floor is included, it will be four floors.

In fact, the master bedroom is on the second floor, but Mu Qingwan is going to the third floor.

She chose it herself.

She still remembered that before, her room was on the innermost side of the second floor, facing south, and it was the most comfortable existence in the whole villa. There was an artificial lake under the window, which was very clear and clear.

And her parents' room was only an aisle away from her.

She remembers, as a child, countless times when she had nightmares at night, or was afraid to sleep by herself.

She will run to her parents' room by herself. In her memory, her parents' room will never be locked and will not be locked, as if they are waiting for her arrival.

But after getting bigger and bigger, she knew that she could no longer run to that room.

Even if the father who used to touch her head and tell her 'Xiao Na is not afraid' is still there, she can't run over.

As Mu Qingwan walked up, her mind was filled with memories, um, maybe she grew up, even if her mother was there, she would not run over.

What time has taught her, be like a grown-up.

With a "bang", Mu Qingwan slammed the milky white door shut. In fact, the door is of very good quality, and the door can be closed without using too much force.

Perhaps this was the easiest of the few things she could do to express herself.

'Is it impossible for a person not to grow up? 'Mu Qingwan muttered to herself.

'Is it because when people grow up, no one will hurt them? '

Um.
Mu Qingwan paced, came to the edge of the bed, and lifted a photo frame. The photo frame was not old and followed the pace of the times. It was newly replaced by Mu Qingwan, but the photos inside were very old.

A photo that is slowly starting to yellow.

There is a woman on it, a quiet and beautiful woman, her face is free from the weather of years, and the words are all quiet and good. She is holding a little girl in her arms, which is Mu Qingwan.

There is also a line of boys above, 'Xiao Qi, mom will always love you. '

Mu Qingwan held the photo frame tightly in her hand, and held it tightly on her chest. Could it be that at this time, her mother knew that she would leave, so she wrote the forever
How far is forever, she doesn't know.

According to the speed at which her mother left her, it felt like the word 'forever' might only be a few years.

Mu Qingwan stroked the words on it with her fingers. It was written with a marker pen, which was a bit thick. In fact, her mother's handwriting was pretty good, but it was too thick, so it didn't look so good.

Xiao Qi
