”What is it? You're regretting what you just said? ” Mu Chen's eyes were still fixed in front of him, as if he was focused on driving. However, if he were to ask about it, if he were to pay attention, he would be able to get a taste of something else.
”Hmm? ”What?” Qi Qi had been thinking about how to get the information about meeting with He Yao ever since they got in the car, and didn't pay attention to what was going on with Mu Chen. Now that he heard Mu Chen's question, he didn't know what he meant.
After she asked him that question out of instinct, she finally understood what he was asking and could not help but smile.
”What do I regret? Have you regretted getting rid of a problem that isn't that big of a deal? ”
”So it turns out that Fang Zhijun is a problem in your eyes? I thought you still had feelings for him more or less. After all, you were once an unmarried couple. ” Mu Chen, with the mindset of watching a good show, wanted to get to the bottom of this matter.
”I have no feelings for you. As long as you understand it yourself, you don't need to worry about me. It's better if you think about how you will act the next time you meet with He Yao.” Qi Qi glanced at this curious man, and briefly passed over the topic.
She originally didn't have any feelings for Fang Zhijun, but after all, she was currently in someone else's life. Moreover, she had just broken off the engagement, so it wasn't normal for her to be so heartless.
Hearing Qi Qi Qi's ambiguous answer, Mu Chen's originally calm eyes flashed with a dark color, and then he returned to normal.
”Based on today's situation, He Yao probably just wants to sell them to me. When my appetite increases, he will ask me to take them. After all, the more these things are offline, the more he will earn.”
”Will you really bring it when the time comes?” Qi Qi Qi had never interacted with any government agencies before, so she really didn't have any idea about how much authority this special task had.
”Don't worry. With someone who specializes in hiding the information, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the information without the goods.” Don't worry, with someone specializing in hiding the information, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the information without the goods.
Mu Chen didn't mind the lack of experience, so he patiently explained it to her.
After the explanation, Mu Chen no longer tried to find a topic to talk about. For a moment, the entire carriage fell into silence.
”Cough, I say, are you coming back this time for this mission? ”The mission is complete. Do you want to go back abroad or stay at home?” In the end, Qi Qi Qi didn't hold back. This silent atmosphere was too weird. She wasn't familiar with Mu Chen yet, so she didn't feel awkward even if she didn't say anything. Thus, she could only try her best to break the silence.
Mu Chen didn't even need to turn his head to know that the expression of the woman beside him was definitely very interesting. It was impossible for her to be so stiff as to improve her skills in finding topics to talk.
But in the end, he didn't have the heart to continue making things difficult for her, so he naturally changed the topic.
”I came back only because the time is ripe, and not just for this mission. ”After studying outside for so long, you still have to return home and put all your effort into doing so. After completing this mission, if there are no accidents, you will stay in the country. If you are interested, you can do it with me.”
”Tch, how do you know that after the mission is completed, I will be the one following you and not you. Maybe my contribution will be even greater than yours? If you're not careful, I might become your superior. ”
Mu Chen looked at Qi Qi who was pouting and not convinced. He couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
Because of this sudden intimacy, Qi Qi was stunned for a moment. She had been in and out of the quests for so many times, but no one had ever done something so intimate to her.
”You also know that you were careless and became my superior! In our line of work, how can there be so many careless things? ” Mu Chen teased him while deliberately ignoring his dazed expression.
Caught off guard, Qi Qi Qi quickly stopped what she was doing, turned her head and angrily said, ”Anything is possible, but don't underestimate the possibility of this happening.”
”Okay ~ I hope this won't do.”
”…”
At this point, the conversation came to an abrupt end. Qi Qi lowered her head and bit her lips, silently cursing herself for being more sincere. She thought for a moment, then turned her head to look at the man next to her.
Mu Chen clearly saw her expression from the rearview mirror. He also saw that she wasn't going to accept it, so he only secretly smiled and stopped teasing her. If he were to provoke her claws, then he would be covered in wounds, which would be really shameful.
When Qi Qi returned to the Zheng Family, she pushed open the door and saw that the living room was filled with lights. Zheng, Zheng, and his mother were all sitting upright on the sofa. When they heard the door open, they all looked over at her.
Qi Qi subconsciously looked down at the time on her watch. It was already 11 PM. The Zheng family always slept early and woke up early. Why was it that everyone was still awake at this time?
Very quickly, his mother's words answered seventy percent of his questions.
”Why did you come back so late and dressed like this? Was it Third Brother of the Mu Family who sent you back?” This person seemed alright when he was young, but ever since he returned to the country, he didn't do anything serious. All he knew was that he would be out having fun and eating with those popinjays, so why are you hanging around with him? ”
His mother complained, but her actions revealed that she loved him dearly.
She took a thin blanket from the sofa and carefully draped it over her shoulders. One of them wanted to keep her warm, but the other didn't want to face the elder so frivolously, afraid that he would scold her.
The thing that he looked down on the most was the foppish, wilful, and degenerate popinjay who relied on his family's power and lack of ambition. The old tutor had been in the military all year round, and his lifestyle was extremely strict, and the thing that he looked down on most was the foppish, wilful, and corrupt popinjay who had been relying on his family's strength.
”Mom, Mu Chen isn't as ridiculous as you said.” Qi Qi took a furtive glance at the old man and his father. Seeing that the old man was only resting with his eyes closed, he didn't have any special expression on his face. On the contrary, his father's face was filled with anger.
She wanted to uphold the honor of Mu Chen, but now was not the right time. She could only give a small explanation and hope that her family wouldn't be so worried.
However, Qi Qi Jian's words obviously couldn't make his father feel at ease. On the contrary, it made him even more infuriated.
”You're still trying to tell for him that it's not absurd for him to have nothing better to do than to amuse himself all day long? What is he supposed to do then?”
Zheng's father stood up and was about to reprimand him a few more times, but he was interrupted by the old man who had been silent all this time.
”Alright, as long as the child is back. Why are you making such a ruckus at such a late hour? Hurry up and go to bed.”
”Dad ~ ~” The father stared at the old man in disbelief.
”What is it? What I said didn't matter, did it? ”Seventh, let's go, help grandpa go back upstairs.”
The old man glared at him, but his father didn't dare to say anything else. He could only watch on helplessly as Qi Qi Qi helped the old man up to the second floor.
After sending the old man back to his room, he stood in the corridor and looked at the old man's door, muttering to himself, The old man's reaction isn't normal. Did he know something? But if he knew, the lordmaster would probably vent his anger on him and not say nothing at all.
After thinking for a while and not being able to figure out anything, Qi Qi Qi could only give up on her guesses. The deep thoughts that were brought about by the old man's many years of life experience were not something that a junior like her could guess through. Since she couldn't figure it out, then she won't guess it.
Qi Qi walked to her room and was about to push open the door, but after a moment of thought, she retracted her hand from the door handle and quietly turned around to head for the stairs.
”What were you yelling at the child for? Don't you know that she was traumatized by her feelings a while ago? There's always a time when you can't calm down. You have to give her time to adjust her mood. ”
Just as he reached the stairs, he heard his mother speaking to his father in a slightly reproachful tone.
