Quite awkward

Chapter 168 Qingming Festival Again

Ching Ming Festival.

Shortly after Mu Chenan finished sweeping Qi Jianhong's grave, he received a call from Qi Yu on his way back to the company.

"Second brother, eldest brother said, are you the one sweeping my father's grave this year?"

“Just finished sweeping.”

My eldest brother is currently in poor health and still needs to be hospitalized for rehabilitation. The doctor advised him not to go out, so he gave this task to Mu Chenan.

Muchenan always does things properly, and Qi Yu is always at ease. She expressed her sincere gratitude over the phone.

"Thank you."

There was a sudden silence on both sides for half a minute, and she still didn't get a response from Muchenan.

“Second brother?”

"Um?"

“I said thank you.”

"I heard you. I just asked your dad to bless you with a successful career and a happy love life. It would be best if you can have a double harvest." Mu Chenan's tone was calm, with a hint of ridicule and ulterior motives.

He looked outside through the half-open car window, his eyes stopped at an intersection with no traffic, and a quick glance brought back his memories.

On this day last year, the weather was bad with wind, rain and thunder.

He temporarily stopped the car at the intersection, held Qi Yu, who was trembling with fear, in his arms and comforted her.

What was he thinking at that time?

Maybe she was blaming her elder brother for raising her to be so pampered.

But he couldn't help but comfort her excessive fear, selfishly wanting to make her feel better on that rainy day.

"Then I'll hang up." Qi Yu didn't have much to say to him on the phone.

“Don’t hang up.”

"oh."

Mu Chenan changed his hand to hold the phone, smiled faintly, and asked directly on the phone: "Do you miss me?"

When Qi Yu first heard this, she was confused, but soon realized that she had no intention of flirting with him and decisively gave him a negative answer.

"No."

"I miss you so much. I'll give you a little more time and wait for your answer."

He hoped that Qi Yu could calm down and think seriously about their current relationship. Only when she found that she had a little bit of feelings for him, perhaps she would willingly agree to be with him.

Qi Yu had no answer in her heart at this moment. Filming was already tiring enough. Apart from work, she just ate and rested. She didn't even have basic entertainment time, let alone worry about emotional problems.

Instead of giving him a perfunctory answer, she chose to avoid it.

"Brother, I have something to do, so I won't talk to you for now."

Mu Chenan curled his lips and remained silent.

The next second, she hung up the phone ruthlessly.

What a difficult woman.

He put the phone away, thought about it, and decided to let her finish filming the movie first.

The core of Qi Yu's new play is about family affection.

Although there is a love line for her, there are no intimate scenes.

Mu Chenan knew very well that he had a particularly strong possessiveness towards Qi Yu, and he could not accept her having any intimate contact with other men.

That day, he saw with his own eyes that his elder brother secretly kissed her while she was sleeping in the ward. This scene caused him to toss and turn for many nights afterwards, unable to fall asleep, and he still cannot completely let it go.

The eldest brother simply used the word "overstepping the line" to cover up his mistake. The pride in his bones did not allow him to reveal any regret or panic.

He should apologize to Qi Yu for his frivolous behavior.

But the fact is, the two brothers tacitly didn't want her to know about this to avoid any complications.

Some time passed.

The school leaders called Professor Mu Yanqing several times to express their concern for his health.

Mu Yanqing realized early on that this car accident had brought his research work to a standstill and might even affect his senior year graduation.

Considering that it would take one or two months for the fracture to fully recover and his work at hand was urgent, he decided to be discharged early.

Muchenan respected his decision, told him to take good care of himself, and suggested that he bring an assistant back to Yunnan and Guizhou this time. Having someone to take care of him is better than living alone.

Mu Yanqing accepted his concern and adopted his suggestions.

Although they had quarreled more than once over Qi Yu, their relationship was not tense in their daily interactions, and they would still subconsciously express their concern for each other.
