Quite awkward

Chapter 141 Swear

The unit's entrance lobby is elegantly decorated and lit with bright orange and yellow lights.

Qi Yu ran to the elevator on the first floor, took out the access card from her pocket, swiped it at the elevator operating screen, and her floor number soon popped up automatically.

The elevator was going down, and she took this opportunity to open the box in her hand.

Not long ago, Qi Yugang had just finished cleaning the kitchen and checked her phone to find that Xiaohe had arrived at the gate of her community.

The new cosmetics product she endorsed was sent to the company, and Xiaohe specially gave it to her for her to try.

Since Qi Yu’s previous endorsement received satisfactory response, the partner invited her again to shoot a new advertisement for this new product.

This was Xiao He's first time to visit Tangwan, so Qi Yu simply ran down to get her things, chatted with her for a few more words, and invited her upstairs to visit.

Xiao He thought it was too late and planned to come back another day.

There were more than ten lipsticks of different colors in the express box. Qi Yu picked up a few at random and looked closely at the color numbers on them.

Rose pink.

Pumpkin color.

Maple leaves are red.

Milk coffee color.

……

She was very confused about the specific colors of these lipsticks. Thinking that it was like opening a blind box, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

At this moment, the elevator dinged and opened to both sides. Qi Yu walked into the elevator with her head lowered. Just as she turned around, her vision suddenly darkened. She was so startled that she took a step back, looked up, and was stunned for a few seconds. She reached out to push the other person out.

At the same time, the elevator door slowly closed and the car moved upwards according to the system instructions.

“What are you doing here?”

Mu Chenan lowered his eyes and looked at her, his hands in his pockets casually, with none of the loneliness and frustration in his expression.

But he knew in his heart that he was just pretending in front of Qi Yu.

"Is it not okay to come and see you, to be your guest?"

Qi Yu rolled her eyes at him and said coldly, "I don't welcome you."

As he finished speaking, the elevator reached the 17th floor and the doors opened.

Mu Chenan didn't care about her attitude. He walked out of the elevator first and stood in the entrance of her house. His eyes were like ink and his tone was still as calm and casual as usual.

"Open the door, I'm going in to have a drink of water."

Qi Yu looked at him quietly without taking any action, intending to continue to fight with him.

But she never expected that Mu Chenan would stop pretending, turn around and walk to the front door, randomly click six times, the password was correct, the door was unlocked, he pushed the door open and walked in, even leaving the door open for her.

"How do you know the password to my house?" Qi Yu felt a little angry and chased after him to question him.

Mu Chenan had been to this house once last week. He walked to the water bar with ease and poured himself half a glass of water. He took a few sips, raised his lip and toasted the angry woman not far away.

"Idiot, I was there when you changed your password."

The last time they moved, Qi Yu spent some time modifying the electronic lock of the front door according to the instructions. Mu Chenan stood on the balcony admiring the scenery by the river, then looked sideways at the door. He saw her struggling for a long time and finally making up a six-digit password.

Even though her voice was very low, he heard the specific number clearly. He just tried it casually and the door opened easily.

If he had an access card, he could take the elevator and easily reach her home.

After hearing what he said, Qi Yu stamped her feet on the spot, blaming herself for not being on guard against him and making such a low-level mistake.

"Finish your water and leave quickly."

She started chasing people away again.

Mu Chenan put down his water cup, walked to the sofa and sat down, his hands on his knees, veins popping out on the back of his hands. He raised his eyes and looked at her for a few seconds, then asked seriously, "Did I make you unhappy? Why did you block me?"

Qi Yu placed the express box in his arms on the coffee table, exhaled deeply, and his cold voice was filled with renewed anger.

"That necklace was clearly my eldest brother's birthday gift to me. You were so shameless that you hid it from me and then made me mistakenly believe that the necklace was from you."

Mu Chenan lowered his eyes and tightened his jaw a little.

It turned out that she knew the truth.

Is it because of this incident that she is so angry?

Even lost the shirt.

"I'm sorry, Qi Yu. On your birthday, I brought the necklace to your rental apartment near the train station. But you had already moved to North City. Later, the necklace finally came in handy when you walked the red carpet. I liked the way you looked that day, and selfishly thought our relationship would become better because of it, so... I made this mistake."

Mu Chenan finished speaking slowly, wondering in his heart, would his sincere apology really be of any use?

"fraud!"

Qi Yu disdained to talk to him more. He could always find some high-sounding reasons to fool her until she was forced to compromise.

After a moment of silence, Mu Chenan suddenly said, "It's because I like you that I want to use lies to cover up the embarrassing truth. Big brother also knows that I like you."

Qi Yu's body trembled, his eyes revealed a look of surprise, and his heart seemed to be pounding as if it was being knocked.

"How could he know? Did you tell him? Does he know that we..."

Mu Chenan stood up slightly, stretched out his arm to pull up the corner of her clothes, and pulled her to sit on the sofa.

As if he had a premonition, he pressed her shoulders to prevent her from escaping.

"Don't worry, he doesn't know, and I won't tell him. I just told him that I like you and hope he can stay away from you, but he didn't do that. Instead, he sees you every now and then. Qi Yu, ever since my eldest brother got divorced and returned home, I've been jealous. This feeling is too uncomfortable."

Qi Yu shook off his hand that was touching her shoulder and clutched her clothes tightly. She felt a deep sense of panic in her heart. She was afraid that Mu Chenan would suddenly go crazy and let her brother know about their secret relationship.

"Can you swear not to let him know?"

Mu Chenan understood her feelings and without any hesitation, he immediately raised three fingers and swore.

"If I tell this secret to my elder brother, I will never be able to be with Qi Yu."

Qi Yu bit her lip lightly and angrily slapped his hand away, not wanting to involve herself in his oath.

After all, his love for her might not be genuine. What if he suddenly loses interest in her one day and takes revenge on her?

“Change it.”

“What to change?”

"Whatever you want, just don't bring me into this."

"If I break my oath, I will become a pauper. How about this?"

Qi Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly and she closed her eyes weakly.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Even if Muchenan goes bankrupt one day, he can still live a comfortable life compared to ordinary people, so the punishment of becoming a pauper is very unrealistic.

But she didn't want to continue arguing with him about the oath, she just wanted to tell him clearly that her brother must not know this secret.

Mu Chenan used his elbow to push up and down her waistline, his movements revealing a hint of subtle ambiguity.

"Can you forgive me?"

Qi Yu moved to the side of the sofa to avoid it, but the anger in his eyes had not subsided. Finally, he could no longer bear it.

"How long are you going to keep pestering me? I've told you many times that I don't like you. Are you annoying me?"

In the past, she would never have dared to speak to him in such a disgusted and irritated tone, but she really didn't want to continue to argue with him, so she could only express her determination in a serious manner.

Sitting on the sofa and looking towards the balcony, you can see the bright yellow moon tonight. The bright moonlight shines on the river, making the night romantic and beautiful.

In fact, the atmosphere in the room was tense.

There was no trace of depth in Mu Chenan's expression.

But only he himself knew that Qi Yu's words just now seemed to have cut a huge hole in his heart, blood gushing out, and he was extremely heartbroken.

He had heard the words "I don't like you" from her many times, but it was the saddest in this situation.

The house was silent. On this turbulent and unpredictable night, Mu Chenan's emotions finally collapsed in front of others and he lost his usual control.

He stretched out his long arms, put his arms around her waist, and brought her onto his lap, hugging her tightly.

Qi Yu screamed, and then her limbs were tightly wrapped in the man's arms, making her unable to move.

Her hair was scattered on her shoulders and her eyes were panic-stricken. She was about to open her mouth to speak, but he touched her neck and pressed her face into his chest.

"Qi Yu, even though our relationship started as a transaction, am I not treating you well? I've always been willing to give to you, but you always say you hate me unreasonably. Is that fair to me?"

His voice was hoarse and filled with a deep sense of fatigue.

A relationship that is difficult to see the end of always makes people feel exhausted and miserable.

Initially, he thought that simply paying money would make Qi Yu stay with him, but he ended up giving away his feelings invisibly.

He expressed his feelings for her directly, but she pretended not to see it and cruelly trampled on his feelings.

Qi Yu kept twisting her body in his arms, trying to break free.

Despite how complicated and uncomfortable he felt at the moment, he did not loosen his grip at all. He refused to let her go and did not give her a chance to speak.

"Why do you care about the unpleasant things in the past? We can get along well, we have sweet moments, and we have many wonderful and happy memories..."

He spoke these words slowly, lowering his chin slightly and gently pressing his thin lips against her forehead.

Qi Yu's heart skipped a beat. She pulled her head free in the moment he was distracted. She wanted to raise her chin and call him shameless, but at this moment, Mu Chenan lowered his head and touched her lips.

He pressed the woman in his arms deeply and kissed her more deeply.

Of course he knew that what he did was wrong, but bowing his head and apologizing would not work. The only way was to use the most direct way to reawaken the familiar memories of the two bodies.

Qi Yu's breathing could not keep up with his rhythm, her head felt dizzy and her body began to weaken.

This entanglement lasted for a long time, and then Mu Chenan let go of her lips and kissed her fair neck, murmuring: "Can't you really like me? Didn't I make you feel comfortable? Don't you need it? Don't you miss it?"

She found that her hands were free again, and subconsciously held his arms and climbed onto his shoulders.

Mu Chenan raised his eyebrows, and a hint of excitement flashed across his eyes.

He thought this was her response, so he applied a little pressure on his mouth, leaving a mark on her neck.

Qi Yu felt a tingling sensation on his skin, and his mind instantly became clear. His long neck tilted back, and he continued to press down with her.

She slapped his shoulders twice, but it didn't stop him.

So she pointed her palm at his face.

Snapped!

A heavy hit.

The sound is loud.

Just like the slap in the face backstage at the wedding that day.

Lips parted.

Mu Chenan was stunned, ignoring the pain on his face. He pinched her shoulders and looked down at her from a distance.

"If you like beating me so much, then be with me, be my girlfriend, and you can beat me however you want from now on."

Qi Yu was extremely tense, her eyes were watery with tears, and she looked back at him silently with her slightly swollen lips pursed.

After a few seconds, crystal tears fell down her cheeks. She sniffed and sobbed aggrievedly, forgetting that she was still sitting on the man's lap.

Mu Chenan raised his hand to wipe her tears, but she turned her head away, and her tears accidentally fell on his chin.

The heat made his heart tremble.

Then he hooked her legs in a compromising manner and put her on the sofa beside him.

Qi Yu didn't dare to sit down, and immediately stood up and ran away, just to get away from him.

She trembled and held on to the wall next to the TV cabinet, wiped away her tears, covered her face with the back of her hands, and said to the man in a sobbing voice: "I hate you!"

It was late at night and it was time to go to bed.

Since everything he did was wrong, why not just make the mistake again? Mu Chenan did not feel any regret for kissing her on impulse just now.

After trying all possible means, he finally realized that he was completely helpless against Qi Yu.

He stood up, walked over and called her name in a hoarse voice.

"Qi Yu..."

"roll!"

Qi Yu's eyes were red and she shook her head, not wanting to listen to him anymore.

Mu Chenan stopped, unbuttoned his collar, took a deep breath, stared at her quietly, hesitated for a long time, and finally made a decision.

"Okay then. I won't come to see you again and I will disappear from your life. Don't worry... Never mind. I won't say any more."

He paused in the middle of this sentence, and suddenly lost the ability to express himself. Because his heart was too tired, he suddenly gave up all his persistence.

Perhaps his absence would make her life easier.

Perhaps he is the only obstacle between her and her elder brother.

Then it's okay for him to quit.

Mu Chenan didn't say anything else, turned around and walked towards the door.

Qi Yu's eyes froze for a moment, her tears stopped, and she turned her head to see the tall figure disappear from her sight.

A few seconds later, the door slammed shut, and her heart skipped a beat. Slowly, she realized that this time it seemed to be what she had wished for.

But for some reason, she began to reflect on whether she had gone too far or should not have slapped him.

When he faced her for the last time, the five finger marks on his handsome face were clearly visible.

Will this make him unable to see people?

Qi Yu lost his strength, bent down and squatted, covering his face with his hands.

What happened tonight increased her troubles for no reason. Her mind was confused and she began to lose track of right and wrong.

She finally got the result she wanted, but why didn't she feel happy at all? Instead, she felt a sour feeling in her heart, as if reminding her that even though she won the battle, she also lost something.

She couldn't put her finger on what it was, but it only added to the feeling of disquiet.
