Qiao An knew that if Mu Jinnian went out to socialize, he would definitely drink.

She turned to leave, but he stretched out his hand to hold her wrist, "No, stay with me for a while."

Qiao An looked at Mu Jinnian with a tired face, and nodded.

Mu Jinnian pulled Qiao An and sat down on the carpet in front of the French window.

He held her by the shoulder and asked, "My mother is here to make things difficult for you?"

Hearing that Zheng Wenli made things difficult for her, she knew it must be the aunt at home who told him about Zheng Wenli's visit.

Since he knew what was going on, she didn't need to add fuel to the fire.

"No, Mom just came and sat and left." Qiao An didn't say anything bad to Zheng Wenli in front of Mu Jinnian.

Zheng Wenli treated Qiao An like this, but Qiao An didn't say anything against Zheng Wenli in front of Mu Jinnian, which made Mu Jinnian moved and distressed.

She was afraid of making things difficult for him, so she never mentioned Zheng Wenli's meanness.

"I've made you wronged." Mu Jinnian said distressedly.

"I'm not wronged, you treat me well, I don't feel wronged." The more magnanimous Joan was at this time, the more Mu Jinnian blamed himself.

Mu Jinnian held Qiao An in his arms and said, "I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

"I will treat you twice as well."

Mu Jinnian only mentioned the matter of Zheng Wenli's coming here, but not He Chuxia's coming here, which made Qiao An a little puzzled.

If Auntie told Mu Jinnian about Zheng Wenli, she would definitely mention He Chuxia as well.

Why Mu Jinnian pretended not to know.

Qiao An pondered in his mind whether he should mention He Chuxia's visit here.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still decided not to mention it.

At seven o'clock, my aunt went upstairs and knocked on the door, "Sir and madam, dinner is ready."

Hearing her aunt say that dinner is ready, Joan said, "Go down and have a bowl of porridge before leaving?"

Mu Jinnian looked at Qiao An's worried expression and nodded.

The porridge cooked for dinner, Qiao An had a lot of things to worry about and had a bad appetite, so he sat there for a long time and scooped a spoonful of porridge to his mouth.

Mu Jinnian's taste was not good either, but he managed to finish a bowl of porridge.

The invitation for a while, the reason why he went to the appointment regardless of the fatigue of the journey was also related to Zheng Wenli's coming here today.

Qiao An didn't know what Mu Jinnian was thinking, and sat there, scooping porridge with a spoon and delivering it to his mouth.

After eating two-thirds of a bowl of porridge, she couldn't eat it anymore.

Seeing that Qiao An couldn't finish it, Mu Jinnian forced it into his mouth and said, "Don't force yourself if you can't finish it."

"Spit it out later, the previous ones are all in vain."

Qiao An put down the spoon in his hand, and glanced at Mu Jinnian, "Didn't you say you're going to a social meeting?"

Mu Jinnian didn't look at the time, he just said there was no rush.

After eating, Mu Jinnian and Qiao An went upstairs together.

After entering the bedroom, Joan sat on the sofa to rest, watching the news with his mobile phone in his hand.

Mu Jinnian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to answer the phone. After a phone call, he didn't say a word, but only let out a "hmm" from his throat.

Joan put down the phone in his hand, sat on the sofa, put his feet on the sofa, rested one cheek with his hand, put his elbow on his lap, and tilted his head to look at Mu Jinnian.

I saw that his expression was a little colder than before, as if with a hint of anger.

Maybe it was because of the person on the other end of the phone that made him angry.

Joan guessed whose call it was.

Normally, if Mu Jinnian received a call that made him unhappy, he would cut off the call without hesitation.

Today he didn't, but patiently listened to the phone.

Mu Jinnian hung up the phone and accidentally found Qiao An looking at him.

Looking at each other, Joan was a little embarrassed.

She secretly looked at him, and was caught by him, how could she not be embarrassed.

He joked with a smile, "Every time I find you looking at me absent-mindedly, it makes me feel happy."

Joan sat there without moving, just squinting and smiling.

He walked up to her, reached out and touched the top of her hair, and said, "I'm leaving."

"Well, drink less." Qiao An was afraid that Mu Jinnian would drink too much, so she reminded him.

"Well, don't drink." Ever since she started trying to conceive, he has stopped drinking.

When Mu Jinnian left, there was a smile in his eyes, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

He went there with anger. He didn't intend to go to the appointment at first, but after hearing Aunt Qin say that He Chuxia was here today, he immediately decided to go to the appointment.

During the past few days in Thailand, He Chuxia made hundreds of phone calls to Mu Jinnian.

Mu Jinnian didn't answer any of them, but Niu Mingyang's head hurts when he answered these calls.

He Chuxia called, He Wenhan called, so that every time Niu Mingyang saw the phone calls of these two people, he had the urge to smash the phone.

Today when Mu Jinnian returned to China, he suddenly changed his mind and asked Niu Mingyang to ask He Chuxia to meet.

Hearing Mu Jinnian's order, Niu Mingyang was taken aback.

After making an appointment to meet at eight o'clock in the evening, He Chuxia called Niu Mingyang from seven o'clock, fearing that Mu Jinnian would break the contract.

He Chuxia was afraid that Mu Jinnian would renege on the contract, so he went to make an appointment with the restaurant in advance.

After Mu Jinnian got into the car, Niu Mingyang's nerves began to tense.

As Mu Jinnian's special assistant, following him for so many years, I am familiar with every subtle change in his expression and what it means.

Don't look at Mu Jinnian's calm expression now, but the bottom of his dark eyes is bursting with anger.

Arriving at the parking lot of the appointed restaurant, He Chuxia called for the fifth time.

Niu Mingyang glanced at the phone and immediately connected, "Mr. He, we have arrived."

"You don't have to do this, Mr. Mu promised to see you, and he won't go back on his word."

He Chuxia on the other end of the phone felt reassured when he heard Niu Mingyang's words.

The car came to a complete stop, but Mu Jinnian sat in the car and did not get off.

Niu Mingyang opened the car door, seeing Mu Jinnian sitting still in the car, he didn't dare to urge him.

Mu Jinnian's anger had already been provoked by He Chuxia.

He Chuxia was sitting in the box, and when Niu Mingyang said that they had arrived at the parking lot, she couldn't sit still.

After leaving the door of the box, he stood on the corridor and waited for Mu Jinnian.

He Chuxia looked anxiously at the elevator, watched the door open and close, but the person she was waiting for came out.

Just when He Chuxia was looking forward to seeing through, the elevator stopped on this floor again.

The elevator door opened, and Mu Jinnian walked out of the elevator.

The moment she saw Mu Jinnian, she smiled happily.

He Chuxia greeted him with a smile on his face, "Jin Nian!"

When Mu Jinnian heard He Chuxia calling him Jinnian, he frowned almost imperceptibly.

Mu Jinnian entered the box without saying a word, and He Chuxia followed suit.

She walked to the dining table and said, "Jinnian, you must be very tired after coming back from Thailand today?"

Hearing He Chuxia's cold and warm question, Mu Jinnian still didn't give any response.

Sitting there, she raised her eyes and glanced at He Chuxia.

Seeing Mu Jinnian's indifference towards her, He Chuxia's heart ached.
