C28 The Concern of Young Master Mu's Version
"About that..." Ning Qianyu ruffled her messy hair, suddenly not knowing how to put it in words. Should she thank him for sending her back to her room? It was very strange to say that early in the morning.
"Hmm?" Mu Shengchen looked at her with a questioning gaze. This was the second time he had seen her in a daze as she had just woken up. However, it made him feel like he could take his eyes off her.
"Thank you for carrying me back to my room," Ning Qianyu looked around and said awkwardly.
"Don't worry about it," Mu Shengchen realized that he seemed to have been staring at Ning Qianyu for too long. He then shifted his gaze back to the news, slightly distracted.
"It's better if Young Master Mu would wake me up next time-" Before Ning Qianyu could finish her words, Mu Shengchen suddenly threw the remote control on the tea table with a loud smacking sound. Then he moved his wheelchair into the study room with a cold face.
He was fine just now, was he not? Why did he suddenly get mad? Ning Qianyu was baffled.
She rubbed her eyes, then went back to her room to wash up. After that, she went to the kitchen to prepare their breakfast as usual.
Mu Shengchen then sat in front of the window in the study room, and simply gazed blankly at the never ending traffic.
A self-deprecating smile appeared on his face, "She's like the others, looking down at me as a disabled person. The reason she's staying here is only because of the contractual marriage. Don't expect too much."
Mu Shengchen's furious face gradually turned into a cold mask, just like the first time when Ning Qianyu saw him, that coldness in his eyes, also meant that Mu Shengchen had closed up his heart once again.
As usual, someone knocked on the door, "Young Master Mu, it's time for breakfast."
Mu Shengchen controlled his wheelchair and opened up the study room door, seeing Ning Qianyu stood outside.
His indifferent gaze made it seem as if Ning Qianyu was invisible.
He immediately controlled the wheelchair and headed towards the dining room, causing Ning Qianyu to keenly felt that Mu Shengchen had returned back to his distant self. It seemed like the changes started after he went back to the room.
Everything was fine just now in the living room, was it not?
In order to confirm her guess, Ning Qianyu kept on observing Mu Shengchen.
He ate his breakfast as usual, but he did not touch the milk on the table and left.
"Young Master Mu, you haven't drunk the milk."
Mu Shengchen did not look back as if he did not hear her.
Little did she know that there were misunderstandings between them. She then called her mother to inform that she would be slightly late and went to meet Ye Xi.
"Young Master Chen never drinks milk!" Ye Xi answered without thinking after hearing Ning Qianyu's words. Suddenly he stopped, "Wait, that's weird, I saw him drinking yesterday."
Ye Xi looked towards Ning Qianyu, who nodded, "He has been drinking milk the since I started living there. But this morning he didn't even touch it, and his eyes... Have you ever noticed Young Master Mu's eyes before?"
"What's wrong with Young Master Chen's eyes?" Ye Xi stared at Ning Qianyu with a probing gaze.
Ning Qianyu felt her face slightly burning under Ye Xi's gaze, "He was behaving weirdly during breakfast time this morning."
Ye Xi noticed the subtle change of emotions on Ning Qianyu's face then asked with a smile, "Miss Ning, what happened this morning?"
Ning Qianyu avoid his eyes and said unnaturally, "N-Nothing."
How could she say that she thanked Mu Shengchen this morning for carrying her back to her room? Would it not be misleading?
Ye Xi was sure that something happened, but he did not continue asking and just said, "Miss Ning, you're probably the one with the crux."
"Me?" Ning Qianyu was baffled. Young Master Mu was obviously the one with the crux, right? Why was it her? "About that... Assistant Ye, you should go to the apartment and check him out."
Ye Xi stood up and said, "Miss Ning, I really don't have the time to go. I'll leave Young Master Chen to you." With that, Ye Xi left as fast as he could without waiting for Ning Qianyu to reply.
After Ye Xi left the cafe, he gave Mu Shengchen a call, "Young Master Chen?"
"Hmm, speak!" Mu Shengchen's cold voice came from the other side.
As expected, he had returned to his original state. Ye Xi sighed and tried to probe him, "Young Master Chen, Miss Ning came over just now."
Mu Shengchen fell into silence and hung up the phone with a smacking sound.
Ye Xi's face was filled with question marks. Young Master Chen's temper was really getting worse...
However, this matter could not be rushed and could only depend on Miss Ning. Ye Xi sighed within him, hoping that Miss Ning could open the door to his frozen heart.
Ning Qianyu came out of the cafe and looked at the gloomy sky. It seemed like it was going to rain heavily soon, pinching the bag in her hand, Ning Qianyu got on the bus and went to the hospital to visit her mother. Then, she hurriedly left the hospital and rushed back to prepare lunch for Mu Shengchen.
The moment when she was about to leave the hospital, it was already raining heavily outside. Ning Qianyu remembered that she had to cook lunch for Mu Shengchen and rushed into the rain. Only after waiting for a long period of time, a bus came and she got up onto the bus.
When Mu Shengchen received Ye Xi's call, he stood in front of the French window, looking sullen. In his mind, he kept on asking himself, when did the relationship between Ning Qianyu and Ye Xi become so close?
Yes, he was getting jealous about it. He kept warning himself not to be jealous, but he still did.
It had started raining at some point in time, and time had passed 12. She probably would not be back today to make him lunch anymore.
She should still be at Ye Xi's place right now…
Suddenly, Mu Shengchen noticed a familiar figure running into the building through the storm.
That familiar clothing, that figure that he was more familiar with than himself.
Mu Shengchen then gripped the handles of the wheelchair tightly. When he came back to his senses, he was already in the living room.
Staring in the direction of the door, he waited for her to open it.
Ning Qianyu opened the door and stomped her feet to dry off the droplets of rain before she stepped into the living room.
The moment she took off her shoes, she noticed Mu Shengchen sitting in the living room.
"Young Master Mu, it's raining heavily outside. So, I'm slightly late. I'll go cook for you right away," Ning Qianyu said as she headed towards the kitchen.
"Change your clothes," Mu Shengchen said indifferently.
Ning Qianyu answered casually, "I'm fine. I'll cook first. I'll go to change later," She did not notice that Mu Shengchen was talking to her.
"Go and change, now," Mu Shengchen shouted with his deep voice.
"Huh?" Ning Qianyu turned around and looked at Mu Shengchen in disbelief.
"I don't want a sick person in my house," Mu Shengchen said such vicious words to her as he steered the wheelchair into the study room.
